Very interesting, I checked and I have 10.10 on my recovery console. I’m wondering if this problem only affects machines before 2012. Have you tried contacting applecare to see if they have an explanation? > On Dec 15, 2014, at 8:52 AM, David Griffith wrote: > > You may not have the problem . I

You may not have the problem . It is unclear why some of us are retaining Mavericks on our Recovery Console, even after installing Yosemite but clearly this problem is not affecting everybody. Some people are in fact getting the correct Yosemite Recovery Console. I suggest you simply have a lo

David, your problem sounds very serious and a real headache. What would your recommendation be for those who do not have a yosemite installer handy? I’m afraid of this happening to me and as of now, I do not have an installer of yosemite. > On Dec 15, 2014, at 5:17 AM, David Griffith wrote: >

My iMac shows as a late 2012. I also may have a theory/solution re: the headphone jack. The other day I couldn't get bluetooth sound with my jam xt bluetooth speaker though it would control iTunes so I knew it was paired. I thought nothing of it since I saw other posts of people saying they coul

I am not sure how old your iMac is or whether or not this would be a factor, but if I use cmd-r at restart and take the steps to reinstall, it is Yosemite that is indeed shown as the install that will be done, not Mavericks. So I don't think the problem is that Apple has failed to allow a Yosemi

A pleasure re the Podcasts - we I am no expert but hope that sharing what I have learnt is helpful. I had completely forgotten about system report so thanks for reminding me. I have just gone to system report and of course everything under Audio now is absolutely fine but your suggestion of se

Hello David, My sympathies with you that must be annoying. You mentioned System Prefs. I wondered if you knew about the system report button in "About this Mac”? Hopefully, it doesn’t happen again but a screen dump of the audio devices might be useful to some of the Apple forums. (Shift + Comma

Hello thanks for the feedback. The reason I lose sound in the 3.5mm jack is a bit of a mystery. It is the second time this has happened and only a re-install resolves the issue. If you go into system preferences and consult the output tab the device has completely disappeared with only interna

Hello David, First, let me say that I am so sorry you had to go through all of that just to get back up and running. Second, I am wondering why you lost sound in your 3.5 earphone/microphone jack. If you don't track down the cause, or at least an easier solution, you may have to deal with s
