[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1621894, member: 335450"] ......... for virtually EVERY ill I've encountered. For the record, my computer running a clean installation of Yosemite has not had one single issue that plagued me after the initial upgrade. I haven't bothered upgrading to 10.10.1 because none of the issues it is supposed to address have occurred even once since the clean instal was completed at the Apple Store. Yes, this IS a new machine, but it is functionally identical in every way. Not a single wifi dropout, no issues with mail, or any other programs. The computer is running cool, and it is FAR more responsive than it ever was with mavericks. I'm beginning to think that if I had the Apple store do a clean install in the first place, they wouldn't have had to replace the computer. Bear in mind that the machine was less than a year old, and had MAYBE 400 hours of total use. They NEVER actually found any hardware issues after multiple diagnostic checks at the repair facility AND at the Apple store. None of those diagnostics were performed on a "clean" computer. When I began restoring from my CCC back up, I did it in small increments and installed NO PROGRAMS from the back-up, only text files, bookmarks, pictures and music. All I ever use on here now is TexEdit, iPhoto, iTunes and Safari (with a couple of plug-ins). I'm mentioning this because there are people that are having issues like I was after the upgrade and are going to install 10.10.1 and may not actually need to. Personally, I have NO INTENTION of EVER upgrading ANYTHING again unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. My computer is running like a swiss watch with 10.10. The point of this is just to say that MAYBE a clean install is all you need. There are apparently a LOT of folks like me that don't know a whole lot about the inner workings of their Macs, so this is for them I guess. ken [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
