[QUOTE="Rhonnies, post: 1627039, member: 241272"] This is my first post ladies and gentlemen, so please go easy on me please. A Mac lover after many years, finally purchased my own (yay me!) a 13" MBP retina (late 2013). Bought top of the line at the store for what they had. Felt like the Queen!! It came with Mavericks OS X and I loved everything about it. When Yosemite came out, I was excited and maybe jumped the gun a little and hit download a little too quickly to "join the club" so to speak and have a new os. I (regretfully) did not do a full back up of my Mac before hitting that download button! I firmly believe that is why I am having so many issues with my beloved machine. I am heartbroken at what has occurred with my little buddy. I know that apple 'frowns' at wanting to revert to the old os Mavericks, but I feel in my heart of hearts that I was much more comfortable with it and so was my computer. It ran better and wasn't as glitchy -so to speak. I have been reading Mac Forums faithfully and always looking for suggestions, comments and the like and have tried ideas and such. I have found nothing to satisfy myself or my machine. I would like to revert back to Mavericks. Can I do this by doing a factory reset and using my 1TB Passport for Mac even though I have both Time Machine back ups from both Mavericks and Yosemite on there? Please do not chastise me for I know what I did was wrong by not backing up my system before the major install of Yosemite. I also know (after reading many posts) that many will encourage me to hang on to Yosemite. I have tried. My Mac feels sick (ha, ha). A lot of the same issues that others are experiencing... machine is getting quite hot, power seems to drain quickly, wi-fi gets lost, delays with certain programs, yada, yada... Yes, I probably got a bad download, but I still think Mavericks was better in my personal opinion. We are entitled to that right?
