[QUOTE="Hedgehog49, post: 1628715, member: 322728"] [b]Restore Mavericks after Yosemite[/b] @MacInWin: To switch back I went into Time Machine, back to a date just before the approximate date I had updated to Yosemite. And no...I did not take care to backup anything, trusting Time Machine as it had always bailed me out anytime I had used it before. Anyway I wouldn't know how to do a complete backup other than try to put the documents on a USB flash / thumb drive. I simply clicked on "Restore"; the rest seemed to take care of itself. I followed a process as laid out in an an Apple support page or maybe forum like this one. I do not remember but the Apple page sticks in my memory better. A process for going back to Mavericks, maybe another for Windows, maybe it had to do with whether the browser in use was Safari, Firefox or other. I think there were instructions as to the order in which to do things, like doing a couple of steps before hitting the button to eradicate Yosemite. After the 'restore' glitches were appearing occasionally in often-used applications but were satisfactorily repaired or worked around. Occasionally small things are popping up. I had not checked Parallels as I do only batch inputs of financial records for our small company (sole proprietorship), usually during the winter working on tax returns, and as we are in the off-season I had no reason to fire up Parallels. It just did not occur to me. Just now I clicked on the Parallels icon. The program does not open. A problem report form pops up from Parallels. I filled it in and submitted it. Another popup gave me a Problem ID number. I now come back to you with my answer to your question. Thank you for your interest. I must say that when I installed Parallels, the process was onerous for a non-tecchie senior. Between the good instruction sheets by Parallels and their excellent short staff I was very happy - probably the best support in relation to the complexity of my problems that I ever received. More than likely I will have to call on them again and beg forgiveness. Merry Christmas to you - I'm off to my last Santa gig for the season - all Santa's features are natural, no fake beards and such, then it's off to the barber for a haircut and beard trim. ** ** **! By the way the Canada postal code for the North Pole is... H0H 0H0 [/QUOTE]
