You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

I have a MacBook Pro 1,2 (2008) running OS 10.6.8 and trying to install boot camp with windows xp and don't have my original disk for drivers. What do I need to do?
Call Applecare and ask them to send you a replacement set. The will charge you a nominal fee for shipping and handling.

Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't. I have bad eye-sight and really enjoy and NEED this feature to be able to read most sites.
Hi dwightfontenot-
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu. -

I have a macbook pro with a 2.16 Ghz Intel core Duo processor. Can I install the iOS 5 software?
iOS 5 is for iDevices, not OS X. Your iDevice would only require 10.5.8 or later. If you have a Mac with a Core Duo processor then you cannot install Lion but you can install Snow Leopard provided you have at least 1 GB of RAM installed.

Recently I was working on my home Network and lost myPassword for my Home wireless connection. After many attempts, I remembered thepassword and was able to get in. Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?
I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

MacBook Pro late 2008 edition with 2 Gigs of RAM and running Mavericks (10.9.5). It gives me an error message when I try to download Yosemite
All,
I thought it may be related to spaces in the path in which the script was called from. I tried having the ODBC command script in another directory but the same thing happens. It will give me the "CONFIGSYSDSN: Unable to create a data source for the 'Oracle in OraClient10g_home1' driver: Could not load the setup or translator library with error code -2147467259". As soon as the script is done running I can manually double click the script and it adds the DSN fine.
Thanks,

I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8, 2.66 Ghz, 8GB memory 1067Mhz running Snow Lepard. I am going mad with trying to organise emails and cross reference to file documents, also the first model iPad.
Does anybod know if there is any softeware - pages or otherwise that can copy emails automatically to document files and insert them in dated order and also that the file can be reviewed like a book by flicking from bottom right hand corner iPad book style.
Please help me run my contracts easily, it shouldn't be difficult in this day and age.
I currently use Apple 'Mail' and microsoft word but am considering any new software that can organise and integrate mail better. I use photo inserts and scanned documents and excel spreadsheets.No, I don't know about that kind of software. It isn't Pages anyway. You need somekind of database.

I have a MacBook Pro that doesn't seem to have a DVD player installed. Any ideas on what would be best for viewing?
Hi
I would try this - from Apple
To burn DVDs - You know that they come in two versions ?
Data-DVDs - to store files (even movie files) onto - Can not be played on any Video-DVD-player.
Video-DVDs - as commersial movie DVDs
Data-DVDs - can be burned directly from DeskTop/Finder (but only one time/DVD - no incremental storage)
Video-DVDs - needs a DVD-authoring program.
• iDVD - is the best possibly for most of us (not avail. from Apple any more)
• DVD Studio Pro - best ever made ? (not avail. from Apple any more)
• Roxio Toast™ - I like (I got, I use - rather often)
• Compressor - $50 from Apple
• Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store (very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)
• Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
My old note on this - same same:
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
Free solutions:
Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
Gives a fairly good resulting Video-DVD
Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
(very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)

Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

I perform music with my Macbook pro. so I have several music applications that startup automatically when the computer boots. they look for the audio interface that they are supposed to talk to and then everything is good. but sometimes I boot my computer when it is not connected to the audio interface and this breaks the conncetion link between the music applications and the audio interface. If the is a way to bypass (turn off) the startup items as I boot the computer when it is not connected to the audio interface, then I'd no longer have this problem. is there a way to do so?

This is a third party software problem you need to contact the developer to fix, perhaps they already have a update and you need to apply it.
Nothing should "break" if it's not connected to hardware as with portables people are always connecting and disconnecting.
If it's breaking the connection between two other pieces of software then it's poorly designed.
Some hardware + software combinations are meant for pernament desktop installations as a integrated system, not for portables.
The only case I can think of that software won't work without the hardware attached if the hardware is a form of content protection, that it won't run without the dongle etc., attached. -
I loaded Windows 8 update on my MacBook Pro on the bootcamp partition and now my trackpad doesn't work on the windows side. The keyboard works if I first hit the esc button at the opening screen. Microsoft was no help. I don't know how to delete the driver for the trackpad in OS X and reinstall to see if it corrects the problem. Any Ideas?
have found a temp solution now, before apple releases its update. this will make ur trackpad work but without any gestures and u'll have to press to select the left or right click.
here's the solution.
1. go to device manager
2 locate ur trackpad and right click and choose to update the driver.
3. select browse my computer for driver software.
4 select "let me pick from the list of device drivers on my compuet".
5 just keep pressing the "NEXT" button after that.
thats its u'll have a working trackpad for now. -
I have an older MacBook Pro (circa 2009). Lately I've noticed my volume button is grayed out and I cannot adjust it. I've tried rebooting. Sometimes it becomes available to use and other times not. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!
Reset the SMC. Check the Audio Midi Setup utility. If connected to an external display that has audio, that may have hijacked the audio.
