I downloaded Lion and now 3 of my mail addresses are offline and I cannot access or send messages.  Any ideas?

If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011.

    I am having an issue as well, I think it is ongoing for everyone who is trying to update.

  • I restored a Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup and now none of my passwords are working (and I know they are the correct passwords).  What can I do?

    I restored a Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup and now none of my passwords are working (and I know they are the correct passwords).  What can I do?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why the password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. You can select one of the available layouts by choosing from the flag menu in the upper right corner, if it's showing, or cycle through them by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See also this support article.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password. In OS X 10.10 and later, this option also works with FileVault, but only if you enabled it when you activated FileVault. It's not retroactive. Otherwise, see below.
    Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.

  • Mail locked up and now it will not close or allow me to reboot or shut down. Any ideas? Thanks

    My mail has locked up and I can't reboot or shut down the computer. Also in mail the left click does not work; it is just stuck. Any ideas? Thanks

    BTW - there is also the Force Quit option in the Apple menu dropdown. Wasn't sure if you could select menu bar options, so gave you the keystroke shortcut.
    Cheers,

  • I had to restore my iphone and now none of my apps are there and I am not able to sync in itunes to get them back on my phone

    I downloaded the new operating system this morning and it crashed my phone.  It wouldn't restore for about an hour and then I finally was able to get it to restore.  Everytime I plug into itunes to put my apps back on, it only gives me the option to restore again.  I can't get any apps back on my phone!  Any thoughts???

  • HT5043 My daughter was taking pictures in photo booth and now all of our photos from the iphoto library appear to be missing.  Any ideas how to recover them?

    Does anyone know how to recover or view pictures after importing photos from photo booth?  My daughter said that she was asked if she wanted to start a "new card".  Is this term familiar to anyone.  So sad to lose all our photos....

    Sorry - what exactly was done? iPhoto and PhotoBooth have no relation to each other -
    If she deleted the iPhoto libreary in error then take it out of the trash and put it back in the pictures folder - if the trash has been emptied then restore your backup of the iPhoto lbiarary - that is what backups are for - to protect against mistakes and failures

  • I have first gen I pad and using king app like candy crush and all of a sudden they are crashing when I try open or play them any ideas what I can o, they seem can help me,

    I have I pad first gen and have laded King App Candy Crush and all of sudden they keep crashing when I try playing them, any suggestions.  king Forum was no help.

    One of the basic troubleshooting steps for apps that continue to crash is to delete them and reinstall them. but you don't want to do that because you will lose all of your progress and have to start all over again. On the other hand, if the apps are unplayable anyway, what good is the progress that you have achieve if the apps won't work?
    I would start with real basic things. Close all other apps on your iPad, reset the device and then see if that makes any difference. Since you are running iOS 5, you close apps by double tapping the home button to get to the multitasking tray at the bottom of the screen, hold down on an app icon until all of the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the icon. Close all of the apps in the multitasking try this way. Swipe to the left to get to each and every app and close them all. After they have all been close, tap the home button twice.
    Now reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the Apple logo and let the iPad start up.  Try Candy Crush or one of the other games and see how they work for you now.

  • HT203242 I use ipod classic 120G. When I launch itunes I first of all see a message "The registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds & DVDs are missing." I cannot sync my ipod. Any ideas?

    I use an ipod classic 120G. When I try to launch itunes I first of all see a box stating "The registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes"   This I have done. obviously I cannot burn CDs but worse still is my ipod is not being recognised by itunes and will not sync. I have not installed any new burning softeware. Any suggestions please?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem.  My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section.  Their solution:  Open files with previous version of Word.  That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion.  Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer. 
    Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
    One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

  • I just downloaded the new OS7 and now my e-mails are stuck in the outbox.  I've tried several ways to send, with no luck.  Help!

    Does the new IOS 8 and instagram only allow pictures taken with the phone? as I can still choose from those, just not the ones I upload/save.
    I don't know about instagram, but apps, that not yet have been upgraded to iOS8 can only access the photos that appear in the "Recently Added" album, because there is no longer a Camera Roll.
    As a work-around, try to create an album of the photos you want to share to instagram. For other apps this helped to make photos accesible.

  • I downloaded Lion from the app store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing.  Do I have to buy it again to install on my Macbook Pro and iPad or is there another way to do that?

    I downloaded Lion from the App Store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing.  Do I have to buy it again to install  it on my Macbook Pro and iPad,  or is there another way to do that?
    All my electronics are about a year old.   iPad is Model MB293LL (4.2.1) only wi-fi - no phone.
    MacBook Pro is  OSX 10.6.8 Build 10K549.  Also have an AT&T iPhone that I basically use as a Palm, since I changed carriers.
    Thank you for your help. 
    ps: I got an error message and it looks like this did not get posted the first time.  2nd try.

    Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
    Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
    Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
    “Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
    This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
    Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
    Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

    I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using

  • When i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add some security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

    when i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add three security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

    Thanks Liam. After the second ap download it asked me three security questions on iTunes and on my MAC it allowed me to set up these with no error on the third question. iPAD 3 now downloads apps fine.
    Apple really need to sort out this issue or provide guidance on this. Two days of the unit not really being fit for purpose - what use is an IPAD without the ability to download aps.
    Also NO Response from Apple via online tech support and it's now been nearly 24 hours - I was told by telephone support I would get a response within 24 hours or less, as also stated in the email response too!??
    It would be good to get a formal response from Apple on this rather than radio silence.
