I had this same problem and was unable to delete the /Users//Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts folder, as I had already erased the hard drive. I could have restored from a Time Machine backup but didn't fancy waiting all that time to restore and erase again!
I want to dual boot my macbook with Arch Linux and thus tried to install rEFInd using the install script, however, after install rEFInd doesn't seem to start at all? Anyone experienced the same issue or have possible solutions on how to fix this?
Start Up Folder For Mac Os X Yosemite
I have a Mid-2012 MacBook Air.I tried all your mentionned solutions to speed up the boot under Yosemite, but the best one to me was to change the refind folder name on the EFI partition, and also rename the refind file.
This workaround has downsides. On my Macbook Air, it took 40 seconds until the rEFInd menu showed up and Yosemite partition wasn't recognized and listed in the menu, only my linux bootloader(grub2efi) and recovery partition were detected.If you want to boot into Yosemite, you have to hold down Option during startup, and choose your Yosemite partition.
Another workaround is using a USB drive to boot a third party bootloader.For example, check out this page. You could create a standalone GRUB2 EFI image, then put it at /EFI/boot/bootx64.efi of your USB drive partition (FAT32 format).Hold down Option during startup, your USB drive will show as EFI boot. you can use it boot into a temporary GRUB2 menu, using command like configfile (gpt0,X)/boot/grub/grub.cfg (where X is your Linux partion or your /boot partition) will get you your old GRUB2 menu, then it should work as usual.
Knowing the text based absolute path to a folder can be useful for a number of reasons. Being able to locate the precise path allows you to unlock the full power of the Terminal, which can often be faster and more efficient that using the Graphical User Interface.
You may receive a pop-up that says, "A required download is missing." or "Can't download the additional components needed to install OS X." when reinstalling the Mac operating system after formatting the startup disk. Based on the posts in Apple's community, these errors seem more common on older OSes such as OS X El Capitan, OS X Yosemite, Mac OS X Lion, etc.
To drive your Mac to search for an updated reinstall certificate online, you need to switch to Internet Recovery, which starts with a built-in ROM that allows your Mac to connect to the internet and download recoveryOS and bootstrap reinstalling OS X.
If your Intel Mac is manufactured from late 2011 onwards and runs Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or later, you can utilize Internet Recovery without extra software. Restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold Command + Option + R until the spinning globe appears. When Internet Recovery is loaded, you will see the OS X Utilities window.
Try clicking Disk Utility to erase your startup disk again, then tap on the "Reinstall OS X (macOS)" option to reinstall macOS/OS X. If you upgraded to macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later, you get the latest macOS version compatible with your Mac. Otherwise, you reinstall the OS that came with your Mac or the closest available version. If that doesn't work, continue with step 2.
Prepare a USB flash drive with at least 14GB of storage and another Mac compatible with the OS X you want to reinstall if the Mac with the missing download can't start up normally. Then use the following steps to reinstall OS X Mavericks or other versions without having the "A required download is missing." error:
Tips: If you can't select the USB as your startup disk or the USB stick shows as blank, you need to reset the NVRAM on your Mac. To do this, shut down your Mac, then turn it on and immediately hold down Command + Option + P + R. You can release the keys after the second startup sound, or the Apple log appears and disappears for the second time.
Preventing unwanted messages from showing up in your inbox can be integral to enjoying email. In this article we will walk you through the process of creating mail rules that will direct messages to other folders or the trash based on conditions you specify. We will also discuss how to update rules to include additional senders or other criteria, and provide some common-sense guidance about effectively using mail rules in general.
Mail rules allow you to direct messages out of your inbox into another folder or trash automatically, based on their sender or other conditions. Rules can be set up on iCloud.com if the email address is the one you use for iCloud (it can end in either @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com).
For your other email addresses, rules can be set up in the Mail app on a Mac. If you set up rules using iCloud.com they are very effective, immediately directing messages to the specified folders on all your devices. If you set up rules using the Mail app, they are effective only after you start up your Mac and open the Mail app. At the end of this article, I will make some practical suggestions about how to address that, and other aspects of using mail rules.
There may be a few different types of undesirable mail. I suggest that a folder (and rule) be set up for each of the types. Below are examples of different different types of messages you might set up folders for:
Suggestions about using RulesImplement the rules on iCloud.com if possible. There are many benefits to doing it this way, including being able to see both the criteria of your mail rules and the folders from any computer.
Using mail rules will hopefully improve your mail experience by helping you focus on the new messages you actually want to see. Filtering out the undesired messages and directing coupons and special offers to a specified folder, especially in your primary email account, is well-worth the time it takes to set up.

As with last year, there are two ways to get it done. There's the super easy way with the graphical user interface and the only slightly less easy way that requires some light Terminal use. Here's what you need to get started.
If you don't want to use Diskmaker X, Apple has actually included a terminal command that can create an install disk for you. Assuming that you have the OS X Yosemite installer in your Applications folder and you have a Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)-formatted USB drive named "Untitled" mounted on the system, you can create a Yosemite install drive by typing the following command into the Terminal.
This is another issue stemming from Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite requiring all drivers to be code signed (see immediately above). When running Yosemite, if a driver has been modified, you may no longer be able to boot your Mac if your start volume is a SoftRAID volume. You can find a fix for this here: Fixing a Mac which no longer starts up from a SoftRAID volume with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
Why a fresh copy? Sometimes the SoftRAID driver gets modified, even when it is inside the SoftRAID application. Downloading a fresh copy ensures that you are starting with an unmodified copy of the driver.
If your Mac no longer starts up from a SoftRAID volume, the most likely cause is that the SoftRAID driver on your Mac has been modified by the OS or a third party utility. If you install a new, unmodified, copy of the SoftRAID driver onto this volume, your Mac will be able to startup normally.
Restart the application, and check whether the issue is resolved. If the issue is not resolved, delete the whole folder that you found in step D. This will delete all previous settings and preferences that were set across all applications.

If you located the file and moved it to the desktop, start Microsoft Excel, and then check whether the problem still occurs. If the problem still occurs, quit Excel, and then restore the file to its original location. Then, go to the next step. If the problem seems to be resolved, you can move the Com.microsoft.Excel.plist file to the trash.
