How to update your Mac
1. You should back up your Mac before installation. To do this you can use Time Machine.
2. Use the Updates pane of the Mac App Store to check for the latest Apple software updates, including this update.
3. Other software updates available for your computer might appear, which you should install. Some updates might need to be installed before other updates appear.
4. Don’t interrupt the installation process once you’ve started to update your system.
5. You might experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you’ve modified the operating system through other means.
You can also download the manual installer for this update. This is a useful option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once. Manual installers are available from Apple Support Downloads.
Every time I’ve updated my mac I lose all my pictures and have to fight to get them back I know back up back up back up
Already installed.

Should I say: “back up back up back up”?
NAW! I think you’ve got it covered. . .
Interesting that for all talk of societal decay at the hands of liberal companies like Apple, people on here still send them millions...
As opposed to the very conservative Microsoft? We all know that Bill Gates is the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan, right?
I hope they fix some of the stupidity baked into Photos such as zero ability to edit geotag data, inability to geotag photos missing the metadata, crappy handling of faces during the transition from iPhoto library, not opening the API to Photos, and killing Aperture. Stupidest design decisions ever. Who ever heard of software going so far backward like that?
Use Time Machine to backup? That’s a joke. Whenever I reboot my router, Time Machine can find the backup Time Capsule, but the TM backups fail. I still haven’t solved that problem. Meanwhile, SuperDuper works flawlessly every time to my external La Cie rugged drives via FireWire.
I've never had a problem with Time Machine. if SuperDuper works for you, stay there. I tend to be a suspenders and belt kind of guy for backups and do several different types of backups.
Me, too. TM for the convince of networked storage and timed backups. External drives every month or two. Very frustrating about TM. Web is full of similar complaints.
I bought a pre-owned 2012 MBP last year. Had Maverick on it.
I upgraded to Yosemite except for iPhoto which I kept. So glad I did not get Photos.
Have heard several horror stories concerning Photo.
All in all I’d love to get Maverick back. Can’t put my finger on exactly the reason but I don’t like Yosemite as well.
On a more general basis I think Apple really misses Jobs. Seems things aren’t running as smoothly and troublefree under Tim.
I didn’t say anything about Microsoft, just about the general hypocrisy of conservatives who bark more than they bite.
