I installed Yosemite on my year-old iMac, have not and will not do the same with my older MacBook Pro. I have a serious issue with Yosemite! It will not recognize/mount any of the several different WD external drives I have. Two WD Passports, two WD Elements (all of these being portables), one older RAID system. All of these work fine on my laptop. I have “repaired” and reformatted a couple of the portables, it makes no difference; the iMac running Yosemite will not mount them. I’ve checked the WD website, see no firmware updates available for any of these drives. I had a similar problem with my RAID with the upgrade from 10.8 to 10.9, though that was resolved with a firmware update. So, in short, if you have now or are every thinking you might have a WD drive, go slowly, very very slowly into any system upgrade. And BTW, Yosemite makes several changes to the desktop, default fonts, etc. Not quite “ugly” as some have called it, but definitely not to my taste. I think they are trying for an iOS look-and-feel which just doesn’t work on a desktop IMHO. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
