Mac does not show UBS as a serial port option for Arduino Uno

Hi,
My Macbook Air with Mavericks will not show a USB connection to Arduino Uno Rev 3. I have tried installing the drivers from: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm but still no luck. Any suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
Alex

I'm running Yosemite on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro...
I've used Arduino IDE 1.0.5 and have recently upgraded to Arduino IDE 1.6.1
I've never had to install special USB drivers.
I simply connect the Arduino UNO R3 to the USB port.
In Terminal, perform the following command
ls -al /dev/tty.usb*
This command will list the USB port for the Arduino, e.g. /dev/tty.usbmodemfa131
Sure enough, this device appears under Arduino -> Tools -> Port
Make sure the Arduino is connected to the USB port.

Hi,
If the machine is brand new I don't see why the serial Number is missing (it is entered on to a special chip at the factory)
However if the machine is a return and has been refurbished then the Logic/mother board may have been changed and someone forgot to put the info back to the new board.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

HT4972 i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

Hi Kevin,
The iPhone 4S comes automatically loaded with iOS 5, and any updates after iOS 5.0 can be completed directly from on the phone in Settings > General > Software Update. If you are having trouble using iTunes to update software, I suggest you reset iTunes so that you can pair your phone to the computer again, because if you can't see the serial number and capacity, that generally means your phone isn't paired. For any problems this doesn't fix, please contact Apple directly through their automated help line, 1(800)MYAPPLE.

iCloud, which replaced MobileMe, requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store. If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store. If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.
If you haven't synced to a computer them (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

I have the new macbook pro from late 2011. when i try plugging my cannon gl2 into the mac via firewire 800 it does not show up in iMovie as an option to import from. i even have gone into my settings on the camera and changed it to vcr.

I have the new MacBook Pro from late 2011. "the one before the new ritina display" i have a cannon gl2 video camera which is mini dv. when i plug it into my mac via firwire 800 it does not show up in the iMovie. i have set the settings on the camera to vcr mode and changed it to av->dv out. when i click on the import from camera on imovie it doesnt even show my camera in it. it just gives me the option to import video from my facetime camera. the camera is turned on the wires are connected i know for fact that its a firewire and not a usb. i know what they each look like. i bought the firewire cable and it was marked down cause it was an opened and used item. would it be possible that it could be deffected and if that is not the reason what other options do i have?

I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
Here is a link.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10301
Other things to check:
Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

Face Time for mac does not show contacts window or allow me to sign in

My Facetime for Mac launches but does not show me my Contacts sidebar or allow me to 'Sign In'. Preferences is grayed out as well.
It works under a new user account (System Preferences > Accounts). I added a contact into the blank address book to test it out. I'm troubleshooting it right now to get it to work under my account, I think it has something to do with not fully accessing the keychain.
The tell-tell sign for me is when I launch FaceTime for Mac the preview window does not show immediately. I have to click on the app a second time for the window to appear. This does not happen under the new account
I have already:
- Restarted
- Removed preferences and Caches
- Re-installed Face Time
- Repaired and reset keychains
- Signed in under a different MobileMe account in System Preferences
Any other suggestions

SOLVED !!
After many, many more steps and close to total ruin of my MobileMe sync structure, I have the found the hidden files to remove that solved my problem.
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist temp
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .6Va7JFn [+these letters may be than different yours+]
Logged out, then back in again
When I launched Facetime it worked exactly as it does on my test user account.
here are the terminal commands to try for your solution
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
ls -A [+To get the letters for the third file+]
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ temp
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ .[+your letters+]
Please Post any problems you run into or if it doesn't work.

"mailto" does not show in the applications list undet "options"

I want to set gmail as my default email program in Firefox. When I go to Tools>options>applications, the "mailto" application option does not show in the list. How do I find this?

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.<br />
If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.

Mac does not show startup volumes

Hello, I've got a problem with my MBP!
It's the latest model (Core i7) and I'm using it with an Intel X25-M G2 SSD (160GB).
On a third partition of the SSD, I installed Windows 7.
(a little gaming, a few win-only applications)
Booting Windows (or from CD/DVD) should be possible by holding down ALT.
This worked fine for years on my old devices - But this does not work with my new MBP! Holding ALT during startup ends with a grey screen showing nothing! Without ALT, my MBP boots OSX. In the System Preferences I can choose to reboot to Windows (or from a CD/DVD). This works without problems, Windows boots...
But why can't I select my bootdevice by starting with ALT down? Any Ideas?
And please don't tell me to install reFit! I'll never do so!
I'm asking because I'm a little afraid of what to do in the case of reinstalling OSX to a broken/empty Drive where I can't select my bootdevice from within the running OS...

I definitely do not need to modify my Mac that way.
Selecting the startup-volume is possible without refit, or at least should be and works on many many Macs I know/own.
As long as a feature is provided by any "preinstalled Tool" I wont use 3rd party. If a feature is missing I write my own program - but I'm not going to write my own bootloader...
So why does my 2010 MBP have problems with showing startup volumes when booting with the "ALT"-Key?

Numbers for Mac does not show all stored Numbers files in iCloud that are already in use on iPhone and ipad

I have been using Numbers on both iPhone and iPad for a while and have about 8 files stored on iCloud. I have just purchased Numbers for Mac but I do not see any of my files stored in iCloud. I have created a test spreadsheet on my Mac which says it is stored on iCloud when I choose File - Open on my Mac but this test file does not appear on Numbers on iPhone or iPad.

I have tried all what you have suggested but still no luck. I am unable to locate the file Mobile Documents in either the Library folder under Mac HD or Mac HD - System - Library.
If you've set up iCloud properly on the Mac then in your Library there will be a Mobile Documents folder with documents in it:
Everything else syncs absolutley fine such as contacts, mail, notes, pictures etc etc.
Contacts, Mail, etc. sync via another iCloud protocol. For Numbers you need 'Documents & Data' turned on, per the screenshot upthread.
Numbers appears twice under iCloud for some reason though -
Numbers doesn't appear "under iCloud". Numbers uses iCloud to sync. Not sure what your screenshot is showing. On the Mac your Numbers will be here (in Finder):

IPhone unrecognized in Windows 7 & Mac -- does not show in iTunes

Hey everyone,
Just this week I was able to sync my iPhone 4 to my iTunes (Windows 7), but for some reason it is now completley unrecognized. I've already done the basics -- reset my phone, restarted my computer, reinstalled iTunes and have even attempted to reconfigure msconfig but nothing seems to work. I have also tried to sync it to my brother's MacBook on his iTunes, but again it only charges the phone but does not sync it at all. Apparently after doing some research, a common problem is to disable my wi-fi connection on my laptop and then attempt to sync it, but that doesn't work either. When I run iTunes Diagnostics, everything seems to be fine except the fact that iTunes cannot find the phone and sync it. My phone also used to show in My Computer but no longer does that.
Any idea why my iPhone now cannot be found by Windows? I know it's not my USB ports, because I am using an external mic and mouse and have even tried switching to all USB ports. My drivers are up to date. As you can see I've virtually done (what seems like) everything to sync my phone but I just can't fix this issue. I'm thinking it's an issue with the iPhone itself as it does not sync to anything.
Please help!

Shameless bump. Someone please help!

After reinstalling Lion, iTunes does not show my IMAP mail-accounts in iTunes for sync. How can i fix this?

i did a clean install of Lion. Than i copied my iTunes Library back from a backup. I configured all my email accounts in Mail. Than i wanted to sync my iPhone. I reconnected it to my iTunes Account and everything was correctly synced, but the email accounts. they do not show up in itunes. On the info-tab of the connected iPhone the part for the email-accounts stays empty. iCal and Adressbook are working fine. What the heck is going wrong?
And please don't tell me to configure the email-accounts manually in the iPhone. I know that this is a workaround, but it is not the solution for the problem.
Thanks for helping me out!

How do I get the icloud to show up in my system preference? It only shows mobile me and will not let me in that.

Before you do anything you should check that your Mac meets the requirements for Mountain Lion:

I have java. It does not work w/firefox. Need to enable BUT it does not show up in firefox under tools-option-content. I need to "enable" but can't when does not appear. How get java to play with firefox?

Firefox version 3.6.12
Java - I believe 6 update 22 something like that - have verified have most up-to-date available.
I am running on windows xp with upgrade 2. (I can not upgrade to 3 without crashing my system. Not even with hp's "fix" unless they've licked that calf over again.)
Restarting computer has not solved either.
