[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1617960, member: 46727"] You didn't offer us any info to help you. However, it's not a bug... if you had your Time Machine drive removed from your Mac and left Time Machine on, it will continue to make backups and place them on your internal drive in your Mac instead of the Time Machine external drive. The Yosemite installer "sees" those backups and will refuse to install. Mount your Time Machine drive, Make sure Time Machine is on, make a backup and that should clear your internal drive where you can then install Yosemite. [/QUOTE]
