I'm not the only one who feels like that - a lot of my friends (MB Pro Retina 13 & MB Air 13 etc.) have the same issues...
You messed up your installation. Restore your backup and start again.

Yosemite works horrible on my MBPr late 2013 and also on my hackintosh which is way faster than my laptop. I reverted back to Mavericks until they release some updates to improve performance. Also the battery life is way inferior than Mavericks!
It seams that Apple's committed on releasing faulty software...
It seams (sic) that your spellchecker broke. as well.

Don't do it, stick with Mavericks until Apple releases a stable version of Yosemite. It is way slower than Mavericks and killed many of my apps.
Do it again, you did it wrong.

Oct 19, 2014 3:06 AM in response to Csound1by travellingbirder,I did it wrong? I quit all apps, clicked on download and 16 hours later my late 2011 17" MacBook Pro was a heap of junk. Is there another way to install Yosemite that doesn't kill most of your apps?

You have no eyes. What things look like matters. Ask (oh, just off the top of my head) Michelangelo. Or Jonny Ive. You know, just fashion. Macs have always been special for people who care about that. Maybe you should be a PC guru.

Thanks, I appreciate the speedy response! I'll most likely be downloading it tonight
Make a backup first.

Wheather it improves-reduces performance will depend on your system specifications and year of model...
I haven't found that to be the case. If the Mac has 4GB of Ram or more and otherwise meets the requirements Yosemite is always faster, and I'm to 7 installations (6 upgrades, 1 clean) so far. Oldest Mac I have updated is a 2008 MBP

Yup, get rid of the incompatible 3rd party crap before you start.

Oct 19, 2014 3:25 AM in response to Tom in Londonby Csound1,It's OK to have taste that differs from mine, it's not OK to try and make your taste mine.
Yosemite looks (style aside) better, easier to read, easier to distinguish elements. Frankly I prefer it not to look like an old leather calendar, or to have theme park 3D buttons. But that's just my taste.

Oct 19, 2014 4:03 AM in response to Csound1by travellingbirder,I'll try, but what incompatible 3rd party crap to delete? Dropbox, MacKeeper? I am not a gamer and most of my apps are for productivity, as they are available on the App Store one might think that they are compatible. I certainly thought that iTunes and Final Cut Pro were OK.

Oct 19, 2014 4:09 AM in response to travellingbirderby Darklykoz,You dont need MacKeeper its bloatware...
Keep Dropbox if you use it....
The fact is only you know what you really use or dont use... Make sure nothing is starting up when you log into your PC that you dont need or want automatically drawing resources.
Basically give us a list with all your login items... And state which you use or dont use...
System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login Items...
Here is mine: I use everything on that list and is important to me for it to startup...
You need to consider what you use/dont use...
We can also help for you to come to final decision on things you are not sure about and you might need.

Oct 19, 2014 4:23 AM in response to clintonfrombirminghamby rjbokleman,Well, I'm not sure everyone would agree. From the time I enter my password to the time I get my desktop, it's slow. Then on top of that, I'm see an issue where Yosemite does NOT maintain my display setup arrangement. I have them stacked on top of each other with my 27" Thunderbolt Display on top and my MacBook Pro 15" Retina on the bottom.
After a reboot, the displays are reset side-by-side again rather than keeping my settings. Very annoying.

If you do't know what is running on your Mac that is a part of the problem, right there.
Download Etrecheck, run the report and post it here (etrecheck was written by a contributer to this site, Etresoft) then we'll see what is actually running.
No personal information is included in an Etrecheck report.
FYI, MacKeeper is disastrous, it is malware in disguise so it will be the first thing to go.
