Mar 22, 2015 7:07 PM in response to Robin Johnsonby finnandnick,I just installed Yosemite thinking it would upgrade my numbers. Now I can't open anything or even a blank numbers doc. What do I have to do?

FWIW, the OS does not upgrade the Numbers app - that is a separate app.

No, applications that were formerly part of iWorks must be separately updated. Just open either the App Store from your  menu. If it doesn't show up in the Software Update tab, check the Purchases tab and click the Update button.

Mar 31, 2015 2:22 PM in response to agasssby jamesx86,I am soon going to get a Mac Mini 2014 Mid Tier. Since it comes installed with Yosemite. I have seen Mountain Lion and Mavericks and they look far superior to Yosemite. If I buy a code of Mountain Lion, how would I go from Yosemite and use the code? Thanks.

Mar 31, 2015 2:26 PM in response to jamesx86by Allan Eckert,You can't. A Mac is not capably of running any version of OS X then the one it shipped with originally.

Mar 31, 2015 2:36 PM in response to Robin Johnsonby pmiles,You can't install an OS version older than the one it shipped with, so if it shipped with Yosemite pre-installed, it will NEVER run anything but Yosemite or later.

Mar 31, 2015 2:46 PM in response to jamesx86by babowa,The only possibility would be to buy a refurbished unit from the Apple online store and it would need to have come with ML installed originally. I recently purchased a refurb iMac exactly for that reason: I needed one that will boot with ML - and I was ready with a full installer tucked away as I thought it may have Mavericks or Yosemite installed and I was ready to erase and reinstall (after having checked to make sure that it originally was ML) - but, I got lucky: this one actually had ML installed. Here is a list of build/OS version numbers you can consult if you're interested:

Apr 29, 2015 2:24 PM in response to Kappyby thump30,If I erase the drive and reinstall Mavericks from a USB Mavericks installer flash drive and then use my time machine backup (which was created on the Yosemite version of my mac) will it just revert to Yosemite? Or stay on Mavericks with my data present and correct?
Cheers

Yes, it will re-install Yosemite if you restore the entire backup. You can probably restore just your User folder that way, though.
You might be able to use Migration Assistant to restore everything except the system, but it probably will not allow that when migrating from a newer OS X version.

May 1, 2015 9:17 AM in response to Debra163by TTeddyau,Have you fixed your problem? I used to play scrabble there too - loved it! I don't play there now, I play in Facebook. There's scrabble and also Wordosaur Crossword Game.
Have you tried emailing the scrabble people and asking them the same Q?
Good luck

May 1, 2015 1:11 PM in response to TTeddyauby greenmind,TTeddyau, You might be replying in the wrong forum. If your question is about not being able to play Words With Friends on Facebook, it works great in Firefox, and 'never' crashes there. WWF only crashes in the Mac designed browser Safari.
