I am using OS X 10.8.5 but I'm having a hard time downloading Mavericks.
It keeps on showing that there is an error downloading.
Can someone can help me?

Some have managed to resolve the problem by cancelling the download, logging out of their App Store account and then logging back in again and starting over. The same approach also sometimes works for a stalled download:

Also, if you are connected via wifi, try connecting via ethernet cable if you are able to. It's a 5.3gb download and it seems the more reliable the connection is, the better.

  • I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens, but I get the error next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions?

    I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
    Thanks

    The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

  • HT3275 What do i do when, having reconnected my Time-Machine Backup disk, i'm told that there is not sufficient space to do a backup ? it seems somehow that my previous backup was "closed" and i cannot continue using it, so Time machine appears to start a

    I use an external 500 GB WD hard drive for my Time-Machine backup.
    Sometimes - several times - after i've disconnected the drive to go travelling, when i reconnect the external drive, Time Machine tries to resume but tells me there is not enough space on the drive, and to chose a bigger disk.
    It is as if the previous backup file is "closed' and cannot be written to again.
    The only fix i can find is to erase, start again from scratch and do a full backup from scratch - which totally defeats the purpose of Time Machine.
    I've tried repairing the disk, nothing appears to allow the previous backup to be continued.
    Suggestions please ??

    Currently, having once again yesterday flattened and restarted my T-M from scratch i probably overwrote all the backups since the last time i had to do that - and as long as i don't disconnect my external backup drive it seems OK now.
    I'm a bit paranoid as i use my MBP both as my Mac, but also as my Virtual PC so i have a lot of technical and commercial data which i need to keep properly backed up.
    Is it possible when i've ejected my TM backup disck, gone travelling, and then reconnected it some days later - that i am causing a new backup to start by hitting the 'Backup Now' command on the menu bar.... should i let TM pickup by itself automaticvally without porvoking a Backup Now command ?
    Thanks in advance for any futher advice

  • I'd like to use iBooks author to make a book. Thing is I don't have an iPad (yet) but would still like to make a book and read it on my iPhone 4 but I'm having a hard time doing that. Please advise.

    I exported it and saved a copy to my desktop. It appears as a folder. Then I dragged it to my other books on iTunes. Check. Then when I wanted to sync, that book was not listed. Please help.

    The Performa 6400 has an IDE hard drive, not a SCSI drive.  This means that you can use one of those inexpensive USB-to-IDE adapters that plugs into the drive's data interface and includes a separate power supply.  Because this type of adapter isn't platform-specific, you can buy one from a PC store for about $15.  The USB-to-SCSI adapter that you wish to purchase will likely cost you more than a vintage Mac sold in thrift stores.  An older Mac or Power Mac with an internal SCSI bus and ribbon cable with an extra connector would enable internal connection of the Quadra 950's hard drive.

    Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app,  any help?

    What does the error say?
    A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

  • Can someone please help me figure out how to "clear" recent email addresses used in Mail?

    Can someone please help me figure out how to “clear” recent email addresses used in Mail?  For example, as I begin typing a name/email address in the “To:” field, Mail begins suggesting addresses that I’ve previously used.  I don’t want any suggestions unless they are in my contacts. 
    Another example:  When using MS Outlook, it will also remember and suggest email accounts previously used, but I can arrow down and delete an account from the list so it won’t automatically popup or suggest in the future. 
    I appreciate any guidance in this matter. 

    The iOS email app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which cannot be turned off. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from contacts and from the list of previous recipients which can't be prevented. There is no option to clear the list of previous recipients - not at the present time anyway.
    If you don't want any suggestions, select from contacts instead when addressing an email.

  • I have lost my calendar data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. Can anyone help? I am using Mountain lion OS

    I have lost my iCal data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. I am using Mountain Lion OS om iMac. Can anyone help?

    You cannot see it because it is hidden.. one of those great things apple does.. if it is hidden in your Mac then it will be hidden in the Time Machine Backup.
    You will need to restore the entire folder to a different location.. and unhide it.
    There is some info here about restoring particular files or folders.
    http://pondini.org/TM/16.html
    And some info from Lion which should also relate to Mountain Lion.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3231381?start=0&tstart=0
    There is stuff about recovery near the end.
    One wonders sometimes when Apple make these decisions if they ever think about what happens when something goes wrong. Hiding files..???
