DANGER – YOSEMITE UPGRADE & BOOTCAMP<\/b><\/p>\n
I just ran into a HORRIBLE problem with the Yosemite upgrade – and you will too – if you use BOOTCAMP to partition your drive and have Windows 7 as well as Mac OSX on your computer!<\/p>\n
The Yosemite upgrade seemed to go fine – no warnings no messages – but when I rebooted I noticed my Windows drive was – GONE!<\/p>\n
The Yosemite installer wrote a Mac partition right on top of the NTFS where Windows 7 lives – and destroyed everything!<\/p>\n
Fortunately I had a very recent backup, but all need to be aware of this HUGE flaw in their program. I spent 3 hours on the phone with Apple yesterday getting them to realize the enormity of this problem!<\/p>\n
if you do want to install Yosemite AND YOU BOOTCAMP – you need to clone the NTFS partition onto an external drive before the upgrade because it may (as in MY case) wipe the NTFS partition!<\/p>\n
what I did to recover (fortunately I had a recent clone of the NTFS partition made with Casper) – was to delete the faulty partition in Disk Manager, expand the Mac partition to fill the whole drive – then go through BOOTCAMP installation again – completely!<\/p>\n
Then when you are finished and have a new NTFS partition you can boot off an external DVD (made with Casper again) and reclone back onto the new BOOTCAMP partion – and you will be back to a functional state!<\/p>\n
Call me if you want to do this and need help!<\/p>\n
IPHONE6 – and the Samsung Galaxy S4\/S5!<\/b><\/p>\n
Just a note for you folks who love their Iphones – I love my 5S plenty! – My stepson Alex had a customer bring us a Galaxy S4 – and he has converted from his iPhone to it – and LOVES IT. The Galaxy is a true iPhone competitor – and there is much it can do that an iPhone cannot!
\nthe new iPhone6 is a big advance on the iPhone5 – but there is much where it has NOT YET CAUGHT up to the Galaxy S5!
\nAlex says that he’s not going back!<\/p>\n
Check it out if you are interested in its capabilities – but among other things it has an internal microSD card slot so you can add 128gb of storage to it – on your own! And – you can setup this internal drive to boot Win7 or Mac OSX – as there is a standard usb connector allowing you to boot of your phone!
\nGreat for technicians believe you me!<\/p>\n
