Clean install Yosemite
Since upgrading my late 2013 MacBook pro to Yosemite it has become an unstable mess, kernel panics, distnoted maxing out the processors, wifi & Bluetooth issues. Reminiscent of windows upgrades (note to apple, please can you go back to quality over quantity!!!!).
I Have applied the latest patch and contacted apple support, we reset the NVRAM & SMC and performing diskrepair & fix permissions from the system partition. There were some files that are listed as repaired but after a reboot and rerunning fix permissions from the system partition still come up as having permission errors, and I still get kernel panics and distnoted issues.
I am now thinking that a clean install may be the only option to get a stable notebook again. However I am not technical and after reading a number of clean install instructions I am more confused. I need to restore mail data, iPhoto, iTunes and keychain, I can download program files and my files.
Are there any reliable instructions for the non technical how to perform a clean Yosemite install?
any assistance will be greatly appreciated
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
