Ok, thank you for the feedback and your patience.

It seems like this is a very good example for finding the solution
for the problem while trying to create a MWE :)
See http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

So it's not Yosemite related this time.

The "offending" change is described here:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7977

I don't think this change was announced anywhere but OTOH there was
so much work done for the 2.1.0 release - three years - sorry for this.

 Hi Andrew,
 
 to understand what happens tell us how you did the upgrade. Did you do the 
 upgrade
 to Yosemite and to LyX 2.1.2.2 at the same time? There are reports from 
 other users
 with TeX compilation problems solved by an update of there MacPorts 
 utilities. Are
 you using MacPorts too? What's the status of your LaTeX installation? Is 
 it updated
 too or no

Re: Title and Abstract dissappeared

[Andrew Crampton]

The problem has been corrected!  Apparently you now have to declare the 
beginning and end of the frontmatter \begin{frontmatter}{} etc.  I have no idea 
why this is now the case as it always worked fine before without.  Thanks 
everyone for the timely help!

 My first suggestion would be to create a simple elsarticle test file, 
 outside of LyX, compile it 
 manually, and see if that works. If not, then the problem is with your 
 LaTeX installation and
 not with LyX. I believe I saw a similar sort of problem once when 
 upgrading my OS, though
 that was on Linux.

Ok, thanks for the info. Are you able to provide a small example to reproduce 
your problem, please?
Ideally both files, the LyX- and the TeX-file.

Re: Title and Abstract dissappeared

[Andrew Crampton]

Hello Lyx Users
I updated lyx to 2.1.2.2 before I updated to yosemite and have updated all of 
my LaTeX files, i.e. I have MacTeX 2014 installed and have run TeX Live Utility 
for updates.  I also reconfigured Lyx and have reset my computer numerous 
times.  I attempted to make an elsevier document fresh and have the same issue; 
the title and abstract page does not appear.  I exported this to a .tex file 
and the same problem is still present.  Other document classes still work fine, 
so I think it may be a problem with elsarticle and the most recent versions of 
OS X and Lyx.

Hi Andrew,

to understand what happens tell us how you did the upgrade. Did you do the 
upgrade
to Yosemite and to LyX 2.1.2.2 at the same time? There are reports from other 
users
with TeX compilation problems solved by an update of there MacPorts utilities. 
Are
you using MacPorts too? What's the status of your LaTeX installation? Is it 
updated
too or not? Remember to reconfigure LyX after changing the system environment.

My first suggestion would be to create a simple elsarticle test file, 
outside of LyX, compile it
manually, and see if that works. If not, then the problem is with your 
LaTeX installation and
not with LyX. I believe I saw a similar sort of problem once when 
upgrading my OS, though

that was on Linux.

On an unrelated matter I tried opening up some older lyx files as well 
and none of them work.  All have problems with .eps to .pdf 
conversion.  This might be another problem but I though I should let 
you know.


Post a separate note about this.

Also, keep replies on the list, in case someone else is having a similar 
problem, or in case

someone else has relevant input.
