Oct 21, 2014 5:14 PM in response to NeoNirvanaby MrHoagie,I mentioned last night, same with CS5. I'll erase or use the clone tool..even selection. Pinwheel for 4, 5 seconds then it shows what I did. Since I can see in real time because of this lag, I have to undo and do it again.

Oct 21, 2014 7:23 PM in response to NeoNirvanaby Zanaelf,Thanks for that bit of info , well, looking at the situation, a complete back up of your work, and full time machine restore may be the only way to fix this, so that your mac would be usable to do work at home.

Oct 22, 2014 12:00 AM in response to Master26Aby MrHoagie,I gave up, I did the restore back to Mavericks via Time Machine. No idea what it did - in a good way. It seems that my Mac is now faster compared to Friday morning - when I had Mavericks, before I installed Yosemite. (A new security update was necessary for 10.9.5)
First time I had to downgrade, it did state "This will erase your Macintosh HD" IDK, maybe it wiped clean of old junk files yet keeping my programs.
Who knows, but I'm not complaining at all!

Oct 22, 2014 1:16 AM in response to MrHoagieby Darklykoz,I know you are happy now and thats all that really matters. But since you formated computer anyways I think you should give yosemite another chance..
Since your computer ia running faster than before even on mavericks... it seems some sort of bloatware may have been influencing performance.
I think you should try yosemite after a couple of months.
just make sure u backup before

Oct 22, 2014 2:14 AM in response to Darklykozby MrHoagie,I will give it another chance, but only when I am 99.9% sure it won't drag my computer into the dirt.
(Of course there are always bugs, no matter what, nothing is 100% perfect. I get that.)Updates will come, From what I've been reading on multiple forums since early Saturday morning, Apple has a lot of work to do to get the hyped new OS to act normal. But when the updates come, I will search all forums to see if much needed improvements have been made. From there, I'll decide if I want to try it again - heck perhaps I might wait until Mavericks will no longer be supported (Like when I had Snow Leopard, security, critical updates ceased)
And as usual, I'll create a newer Time Machine backup before I install. I have a personal reminder setup to back it up every 2 weeks.

Oct 22, 2014 2:31 AM in response to Master26Aby Stefano Catena,Upgraded yesterday and not enough experience so far, but first impression is that Apple is downgrading its look: this "flat" environment is really sad, very similar to the Windows world. One of the best things of Apple world (apart from functionality of course) is the look of the icons and of the whole environment: if you want to change ok but pls improve, not get worse. I had the same feeling once I upgraded to iOs 7 and felt so sad. Now I'm used to it but don't feel good anyway. Pls don't forget Steve (Jobs). Thks

Oct 22, 2014 4:55 AM in response to MrHoagieby Darklykoz,Fair enough
Just wanted to remind you however the forums are not a good place to look with regards to seeing how succeful an operating system is.
Community forums are mostly for troubleshooting. You wont see too many people posting about how good Yosemite is... It would be pointless and essentially a waste of conversation...
You will see all forums weather it be Mavericks Mountain Lion, Lion or even windows... Will be full of problems... Thats what the forums are essentially there for... Troubleshooting.

Oct 23, 2014 4:24 AM in response to jetoff41by spidermark,I agree. I cannot believe how slow Yosemite is. With Mavericks, and 16GB of ram memory my 27" desktop was blazing fast. Now, I am waiting minutes for folders to open, and find myself staring at that dreaded spinning wheel alot more than I would like. Any suggestions? Tried clean my mac 2 already. I do not think I can handle the lack of performance. Is it possible to downgrade back to Mavericks?

Oct 23, 2014 4:26 AM in response to spidermarkby Csound1,Did you backup your system before you replaced the operating system?

Oct 23, 2014 8:45 AM in response to Darklykozby MrHoagie,Actually troubleshooting was the reason I was here Also other forums like MacRumors.
Just trying to figure out why my computer was acting so painfully slow, was it just me..sure there were others. Is there something I could do to improve the computer, was there a settings issue I need to change...any little trick to enhance Yosemite and avoid going back to Mavericks, etc. There's no real answer, at least nothing I can figure out right now. I saw the topic here and just posted my own experience with the new OS here.It's so random, I see someone stating their 2010 MacBook is now super-fast, meanwhile someone with a 2013 iMac, opening a simple folder can be a struggle with the spinning "beach ball." Stinks. Like I said, I'll wait for an update or two and go from there.

Oct 23, 2014 4:23 PM in response to MrHoagieby J-e-L-L-o,I wanted to say I just installed Yosemite on my MacMini 2012 2.3 i7 with 512GB SSD and it FLIES. I think a lot of people should do a complete backup FIRST and then do a clean install and then reinstall the programs you want.
I have my SSD plugged into USB3 and its the most responsive mac operating system since Snow Leopard. Once I'm done it will be even quicker once its inside my Mac mini and on the SATA bus!
I know some people have issues for whatever reason. I skipped Lion and didn't use Mountain Lion too long before switching to Mavericks. Yosemite should perform better but YMMV. Also don't upgrade just because its the newest. If your OS is fine, only upgrade if the extra features are worth it.

Oct 25, 2014 1:50 AM in response to spidermarkby mrmagnetoman88,Yes, it is possible. You can do so by opening App Store and clicking on the purchases option. A list of all the programmes you have downloaded will be listed, one of them being OSX Mavericks. You then click on it and it will download and install itself on your drive. Another way would be to restore your computer from an OSX Mavericks using Time Machine, if you have backed up your data.

Oct 25, 2014 2:07 AM in response to mrmagnetoman88by Manuel Manev,So do we expect a hotfix any time soon ?

Oct 25, 2014 9:14 AM in response to Darklykozby widestrides,I think this suggestion to reduce transparency helped. I was experiencing lack of responsiveness when clicking things - especially Mail. This seems to have helped. Preferences > Accessibility > Display > Reduce Transparency
Will also re-set PRAMs and see if that also helps.
Thanks!
