    You should be able to download the Yosemite installer from the App Store.

    Not coming up for me for some reason (not coming up in search results).

    What I do have is OS X Yosemite showing up in my downloads.....what can I do from here? Is this were I download it to an external drive? Then wipe this one?

    Not after El Capitan was released.

    I was able to open the link to the downloads, but now have a house move on my hands so this will have to be revisited once Ive moved in and have WIFI up and running again....no wifi over Christmas:eek::eek:

    Thanks everyone and a very merry Christmas to you all:D

    Is there a particular reason you need to abandon El Capitan ? Perhaps we could help from that angle ?

    Hi,

    yes a couple that i initially noticed, one reason was Mail was not working as it should
    second is my phone not uploading images in 'photos' app. No reaction whatsoever, and I just wanted to reverse to something that I know worked.

    However, Im moving house tomorrow, and will have to revisit this in the new year unless they manage to re-connect me next week:cool:

    Thanks again. :)

    PS there may well be other issues, but that was just the two I noticed as I needed them....
