Hi there! yesterday I installed Mavericks on my Macbook. Since then, it doesn't mount my external hard disk drive anymore, which he did a week ago (without the update). Is there anyone out there who knows a solution?
Hi there! Yesterday, I installed Mavericks on my Macbook. Since then, it doesn't recognize my external hard disk drive anymore (at least not on the desktop. In Germany they call it "it doens't mount it". I don't know if it's the same expression in english?)
I just used it a week ago, before I did the update and it worked perfectly fine.
Is there anyone out there who knows a solution for this problem? I've been googleing for hours now and can't find any answer.
Thank you!!!
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Hey guys ı really need your help. I bought macbook pro retina 15 inch 2 weeks ago and it came with installed mavericks of course but ı want to create a recovery disk and to do that ı need to download mavericks installer from app store but when i click to download mavericks from appstore purchased part ı get a message says " Your purchasing process couldn't complete. OS X Mavericks cant be installed to this computer." How can ı solve this problem!??
One way around tis is to borrow a Mac that can run Mavericks and then the download will work. You can use these instructions:

Though they are for Mt. Lion, the same steps will work.

I am looking for a map app that will allow me to place pins where my clients offices are on a map and keep them save every time I open the app. Does anyone out there know of an app that will do this?
"Motion 5" is your friend.
Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.
Disclaimer: I have virtually no relationship with anything connected with this tutorial product, developer, or anything. -

I just got a new iphone 5c this is my first smart phone. I have an Ipad so thought it would be easy.
I downloaded the new software don't know if this changed anything. I have only had phone for 4 days
but now the light won't shut off. I have to turn off the phone for it to go out. I did the holding down home
button and start button till apple shows up. I checked to make sure the LED flash for alerts button was off.
I don't know what else to do. Anyone out there have the same problem and have found an answer.
Thank you!After powering the iPhone off and on, the light goes out but turns back on randomly or immediately after powering the iPhone on?
Since nothing else you have tried has resolved it, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup first.
If no change after that, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby. -
How to install external Hard Disk Drive
I don't know if it is a good idea or even if there are other options, but I need to know how to install a GreenDrive ex. hard disk with out screwing everythinp up. Please help
do you mean one of these: http://www.fantomdrives.com/products/greendrive.htm ?
if so, just plug it into your Mac using the USB or, if you have it on your Mac, the eSATA interface and the drive should show up on your Mac's desktop.

My MacBook Air display shows only the desktop background, the dock has disappeared. Does anyone know how to restore the dock to the desktop? thanks
The dock can be configured to automatically show and hide when moving the mouse cursor over the current location. You can try to move the mouse over the dock area to see if it appears. Hopefully it will, and if you don't want that setting you can then change it to show permanently in the System Preferences > Dock settings.
If that doesn't work you can change the dock location in the preference settings to align on a different side of the window to see if it appears. That's all I can suggest at the moment.
Let us know how you make out. -
Does anyone out there know the meaning and history of the APPLE logo?
I am doing a paper on Apple Corporation and I called to ask them and a lady at corporate said "we dont comment on things like that". I asked if the meaning was secret and she said, "no we are a forward moving company and we dont talk about stufff like that." unquote.
I wanted to know the origin and meaning of how Steve Jobs or whoever picked an apple as the logo and why there is a bite out of the apple on the right side.
Anyone out there be so kind as to answer this iof you know--or care to venture a guess??? JeffThe name "Apple Computer"
A lot of people wonder where the name "Apple Computer" came from, as it is a rather unusal name for a computer company.
Steve Jobs came up with the name in early 1976. At the time, he was often visiting and working on a small farm friends of his owned. It was a hippie commune where Steve spent a few months of the year.
When he returned from one of those stays, he told Steve Wozniak about his idea. Jobs probably was working on apple plantages. Or he just wanted their startup to be in front of Atari in the phone book. Or it was a tribute to Apple Records, the music label of the Beatles.
Whatever the true origin of the name was, Woz knew instantly that they were going to be in trouble with Apple Records sooner or later. But as they were unable find a name that sounded better than Apple Computer, the name was chosen.
Woz's worries turned out to be justified. Apple Computer, Inc. was sued by Apple Records over trademark violations in 1989. (for more on this see below)
The Apple logo
The first Apple logo was designed by Ron Wayne, co-founder of Apple Computer. It was rather a picture than a logo. It showed Sir Isaac Newton sitting beneath the famous Apple tree thinking about gravity.
It was only used for the Apple I. Steve Jobs felt that it was too intellectual and it was almost impossible to put on computers as one could only recognize the details of the drawing when it was large enough.
Therefore, in 1977 Jobs asked the art designer Rob Janoff to design the new Apple logo. The new logo had a simple shape of an Apple, bitten into, with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. The bite symbolized knowlegde (in the bible the apple was the fruit of the tree of knowledge) and the bite could also be pronounced "byte", a reference to computer technology.
When Jean Louis Gassée was asked about his thoughts to the Apple logo he answered: "One of the deep mysteries to me is our logo, the symbol of **** and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldn't dream of a more appropriate logo: ****, knowledge, hope, and anarchy."
In 1997, Steve Jobs decided to drop the multi-colored Apple logo and replace it by a solid-colored logo. The first Apple computers to feature the new logo were the new PowerBook G3s in 1998 (although they still featured both types of logos).

Is anyone out there recording multi player audio sessions on logic
I using an apogee 24 input system (symphony), logic 8.01. osx 10.4.11, macpro 2x266, 3 gig. I have been running logic for about 2 years. I am a big fan of the features and the especially the sound of logic.
I have been recording multi player sessions (session players and bands) in Pro tools TDM and HD for many years and would love to work strictly in logic.
I have recently been experimenting with recording some multi player audio/midi sessions with Logic. something like:
drums-10 audio inputs
bass-2 audio inputs
acou gtr 2 audio inputs
ele gtr 2 audio inputs
keys -midi controller-virtual inst.
click/loop-virtual inst
The Apogee hardware seems to be very solid ,and sounds great but I have run into some difficulties with logic's interface in these multi-player sessions.
1. The record enable status of various channels can be accidently turned on or off by selecting another channel. this makes it very tricky to adjust monitor volumes,sends, inserts and so on when trying to set-up a mix for the players.
2. when punching in and out there is a gap (hic-up) in the audio playback shortly after you punch out and also an artifact (small region) is often generated at the point of the punch out. ----set-up: punch on the fly,auto input, replace record.
3. after making a pass with the band and attempting listen. the faders are not active (on audio channels only) while the channels are record armed. So if one wants to adjust a playback/monitor volume the track has to be taken out of record ready which cuts the line of comunication between the players and the control room.
4. there are some serious problems editing audio on grouped channels. IE. group all drums and cut up the regions and do various edits the regions with-in the groups sometime don't act like they are grouped.
There seems to be little or no discussion of multi-player audio recording in any of the forums.
Is anyone out there tracking in a similar set-up and if so are any of these things causing problems for you
Thanksthanks for the response
I do use the group record enable at times but the group situation in Logic is pretty cumbersome and often times one or more of the group may not be included in the current take so it ends up being a wash as far as convienence goes.
the independent monitoring status is great for what it is intended for but does not affect the situation of the faders not functioning when you monitor audio previously recorded on a record enabled track.
this problem did not exist in lp7 so I feel that it is an oversight or something that fell through the cracks on LP8
my set up is- replace record, auto input and I always have punch on the fly activated. Something I didn't mention in my earlier post about my set-up is, I am using software monitoring. The apogee symphony card is designed and has the speed to through put with about the same(1.6 millsec.)time delay as protools hd. Because I am recording 16 to 20 tracks at once in the box It seems to make sense to work this way. The apogee set-up I am using is 24 in and only 8 out.
with this set-up The hic-cup happens every time just shortly after punch out. this happens on every logic set-up I have ever used in various studios and hardware including an logic demo set-up by apple that I recently went to.
please check it out, it's a simple test
punching in and out is such an important part of audio recording it should be totaly seamless
these problems can be fixed, so I am just trying to raise the awareness of these issues
thanks

I have an external hard disk drive with data that I want to back up onto another extrnal hard disk drive. I have tried to copy and paste but this wont give me a paste option. I have also tried to click and drag but it wont let me either. I have reformatted the external hard drive to accept both mac and pc files and this did not make any difference. Can anyone help me with this?
How did you reformat the drive? If you formatted it as NTFS, your Mac will not be able to write files to it unless you use a small application such as Paragon's.
Please reply as to how you formatted the drive.

I download Flash player, proceed through the steps, but it takes me to a page where Adobe wants me to buy photoshop and other products and no way to bypass this and just get on with the installation without buying anything. Anyone out there know how to do it?
Hi mansons67992701,
No purchase is required to install Flash Player. The offer you're seeing is optional. There should be a yellow 'Install Now' button on the bottom right of the page. Is the button not displaying? Please post a screenshot of the page (How to post a screenshot in the forum).
