May 6, 2016 9:30 AM in response to VAMacGuyby Eric Root,Normally it is best to solve all problems before upgrading, but in this case you can try that since it is a system reinstall.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.

May 27, 2016 1:42 PM in response to Eric Rootby VAMacGuy,Epilogue: the scorched earth approach turned out to be the best, in the end. After performing a full backup, I booted into the recovery partition, ran Disk Utility (repairing the volume and disk permissions), then wiped the drive clean (erasing in several passes), and reinstalled Yosemite OS. Voila, the arrows magically reappeared! Hopefully, the old gal will provide a few more years of faithful service for my daughter (and granddaughter). Meanwhile, I'm loving my new, souped-up, 27" iMac Retina 5K. A lot has changed in five years...

Sep 2, 2016 11:25 PM in response to VAMacGuyby sean154,Hi,
List View folder expansion triangles are not available when the view has been modified with the "Arrange By" options. Simply set "Arrange By" to "None" and the list view folder expansion triangles will return.
Navigate to Finder Menu: View > Arrange By > and Select None. All your folder arrows in List View should immediately return.
The default keyboard shortcut for "Arrange By: None" is: ⌃⌘0
If you prefer using the toolbar, this is the Finder toolbar icon:
If it is not in your toolbar, ⌥-click in the toolbar or navigate to Finder Menu: View > Customize Toolbar… and drag the icon into your toolbar.
