Imac not working as it should after reinstall
I have had some weird experiences and had to reinstall the OS in order to get rid of an unacceptable behavior.
Nothing worked as it should even after 2 reinstalls.
As an example (only one of many), iCal persisted in showing what was already seen and deleted.
Now, after getting rid of iCal and other apps preferences and hidden files, I was able to connect to the internet as before while still under the basic Snow Leopard (10.6.6)
Airport functioned as it should.
Have not tried iCal, nor Mail but I was able to connect to the internet.
But, after using software update to go to OSX 10.6.8, things went awry.
Airport refuses to be turned on. It does not connect to my DSL modem, it does not find networks to join, and so on.
I am writing on an iPad connected to the same wifi modem without a glitch.
Tried all available solutions unsuccessfully.
Mac is no help when trying to solve the problem.
I am stuck and need desperately a solution.
Will appreciate any and all help.

Just tried 3 times to update iTunes on my PC running Vista. There was an error. It stopped the installation. Now iTunes will not start at all. The error message tells me to reinstall which I tried but did not work. What should I do?
Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

I have OSX 10.7.5 on my imac, my idvd is not working correctly. Should I re-download this version again , do you think that it will help to improve the idvd operation?
First, iDVD is not and never has been part of OS X. If iDVD is not working correctly, then you should investigate possible problems with that application, support files, preferences, or cache.
Of course you can always reinstall OS X if you wish:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
I spill all my coffee on my new MacBook Air, its not working anymore, what should i do ? I have to buy a new one coz its pricy to fix it.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement. -
TS1702 facebook and facetime app not working on my ipad3,ihave reinstall it 3 times but no success
facebook and facetime app not working on my ipad3,ihave reinstall facebook app 3 times but no success and fbapi error domain occurs,facebook works properly on safari
Ok, this is what I figured out after 4 hours of testing. Restoring as a new device didn't help for me. Also hard reset, re-installs, unchecking and checking all notification options did not help. I installed facebook messenger but also this program did not have notifications (all my other notifications work.....)
As my wife deactivated her account I made up a new test account and logged in on my Iphone 4S. Surprisingly this new account had no notification problem at all. The problem is I had been testing with messages all along (and not with reactions on wall posts). It now turns out that all works fine on my original account except for notifications of private messages (or you can call them chat messages). They will simply not work on my original account but work perfectly on my new test account.
The only difference between the test account and the original acount is that I a have an active user account (FB is doing some testing with acttive users so that they receive lesse indicidual mails by gving those users the option (a check box) to receive overview mails) . See also http://socialsunil.com/facebooks-summary-email-feature-for-active-users/. Could this be the reason I do not receive private message notofications?
I do not know but I definitely know this is an account problem and not an hardware or software problem. So to all of you try to log in with a different or test account to corner the problem. Please react on this post if you have a solution. -
My IPhone 4s is freezing up and the wifi will not work. This happened after the update. I have tried to restore it and that did not fix it. Any suggestions?
Most of your purchases content can be downloaded again via the Purchased tabs in each of the store. I realize that this will be a problem for the iTunes Store on the iPad, but that has nothing to do with apps, since apps are in the App Store.
If you backed up synced with iTunes before you restored the iPad, your content should be in iTunes on your Mac and you should be able to sync it back again. -
HT1192 Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.
Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.Please help me to sort this problem out.
I think even in newer versions of OS X there is a slight delay; just not so pronounced. My advice to get around it would be to install PCKeyboardHack and KeyRemap4MacBook - then do a couple of things:
Change the Caps Lock key in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys to "None"
Use PCKeyboardHack to remap Caps Lock to keycode 110, the PC Application Key, which is unused on Apple keyboards.
Then use KeyRemap4Macbook to map that particular keycode to Toggle Caps Lock.Try selecting For PC Users > Change PC Application Key > Application Key to CapsLock.
I'm pretty sure that should get rid of the delay, which only happens when Apple is in charge of connecting the Caps Lock key to its action.
Really, though, I would personally recommend doing some much more awesome things with your Caps Lock key; it's prime keyboard real estate, and who uses caps lock anyway, except in the darkest corners of the Internet? Personally, I've remapped Caps to be Escape (for use in my text editor) when you press it by itself quickly, but to be Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift when you press it with any other key. I call it the "Hyper" key, and use it to switch applications; Hyp+S = Safari, Hyp+D = email, Hyp+F = Finder... The point is, be creative, make the Caps Lock key work for you.
Oh, and the real Escape key maps to Caps Lock, so I can use it if I want to. -

Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be
creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
(note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
just need advise not to share system specs.
and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
it's not to post or share system specs !!!
so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?Hi,
It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
(Image>Image Size)
If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using? -

he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
That's where I would begin, too, with
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

I have safari 5.1.7 and it's not working properly. Should I use Safari 5.1.9 or 6.0.4?
I have safari 5.1.7 and it's not working properly. Should I use Safari 5.1.9 or 6.0.4? Mac OS X 10.6.8. 17" MacBook Pro
Use your Software Update under the Apple menu, it SHOULD bring Safari up to 5.1.9 on OS X 10.6.8.
Apple IS issuing security and other updates for Snow Leopard users.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
Safari 6+ is only for 10.7+ users as OS X is morphing into iOS.
10.7 and 10.8 will not run your PPC based apps of 10.5/10.6
If Software Update is not working, then you have other issues, backup your users folders off the machine to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine!) and run through this list of fixes.
