[QUOTE="wrf1984, post: 1628498, member: 314576"] I am fortunate in that I'm running a Mac Pro with four hard drive slots. When I upgraded to Yosemite, I used a new SSD drive (a 256 GB drive). Mavericks was on a separate SSD, which was almost full (128GBs). I downloaded a fresh Yosemite to the new drive and began the process of transferring the stuff I use to it. Mavericks wasn't working quite right, but I wondered if part of the problem was because my drive was so nearly full. Yosemite NEVER worked correctly, or was satisfactory, at least to me. I had some specific problems and here is the worst: opening windows in applications never "stuck." That is, once I "placed" them on one of my two monitors, they wouldn't stay. That sounds whiny, but it really is a problem: EVERY TIME I opened the window I would have to move it to where I wanted it. It got old very quickly. So, I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my Mavericks drive to a new 512 GB SSD and switched back to Mavericks, which is a mature system. I am going to stay here for a while. Yosemite still sits on its own drive and I will perform updates as they become available. Maybe, at some point, I'll switch back to the newer system, but it will be a while. [/QUOTE]
