    I cannot use Quicken on my new MacBook Air (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2) Any suggestions?  I love Quicken and it takes care of all my financial needs.

    You can wait for Quicken to update (supposedly in the works) or you can switch to another application such as Quicken Essentials or another application of which there are several you will find at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    Otherwise you'll need to return your MBA and buy a slightly older model Mac that still runs Snow Leopard. Lion will not run any PPC-only applications such as Qucken or MS Office 2004.

  • Can new MacBook Air power 2 Thunderbolt displays?

    Can new MacBook Air power 2 Thunderbolt displays?

    Asked a similar question elsewhere. According to Apple Japan pre-purchase support, the answer is 'No, it doesn't have enough power in the graphics card". Big pity.

  • I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message  saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)"   more........ .

    Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
    I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
    "Unable to to assemble  calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
    How can  I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
    Thank you for your help.   

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Screen keeps going black and I can't get it to light back up

    I just purchased a "pinkberry" and am getting very frustrated with it. It keeps going black and no matter what buttons I push I cannot get it to light back up. I got it yesterday and charged it for about 12 hours so I know it's not that the battery is low.

    seems like a hardware problem. Return the device to where you bought it and claim a new one.

  • Macbook Air (mid 2012) Thunderbolt to HDMI Stopped working

    Hey Guys,
    I have searched this issue and have found several threads some 50+ pages long but I could not find a soluition. I currently have a macbook air 13" mid 2012 model.
    Problem: I was using a thunderbolt to HDMI cable to watch movies on my SONY Bravia tv and it was working fine one day and after I updated my software to mac OS X 10.7.5 it stopped working. All i get on my TV is "no signal" and the screen on my MBA starts to flash blue every now and then.
    I took it into the genius bar and they plugged it in to their system and it seemed to work, so the guy said to get a new cord.
    I ordered a new cord and tried it at home and its still not working. After searching the forums I see that alot of others seem to be having the same issues and I am pretty sure its related to a software issue seen in the thread below.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3196192?start=75&tstart=0
    Anyone have a similar issue and found a fix??

    A new Mac is in warranty for 1 year from the date of purchase. Why not use it?
    You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
    All hardware related issues should be brought to the attention of Apple.

  • My iPhone 5 connects to wifi but shows one bar on the wifi signal meter but my iPad2 and Macbook Air both show full wifi bars when all three are side by side next to my apple router. Do I have an antenna problem with my iPhone 5?

    It appears that my iPhone 5 has a wifi signal reception issue. I only show one bar on the wifi signal meter even when I an next to the router.  Both my Macbook Air and my iPad2 show full wifi signals at the same time.  Rebooting the Apple router and each device results in the same meter readings. 

    Does this occur with any Wi-Fi connection? Or only a specific one?
    If it occurs with any Wi-Fi connection, take it to Apple.
    If it is only occurring with a specific Wi-Fi connection, it is an issue with that Wi-Fi connection.
    Try the following, it may help:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Forget the Wi-Fi connection on the iPhone then reconnect.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

  • TS3212 I have a new computer, a HP with windows 8. I try to install itunes and get error. Says the installer has encountered an enexpected error installing thics package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 2503.

    I'm having problems installing Itines on my new computer with Windows 8. I always get problem with install. the error code is 2503. How do I correct this?

    Although you're getting a different error message, perhaps try the procedure from the following user tip:

  • MacBook screen keeps going black and won't reboot

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro, Early 2011 running 10.9.2. This rather alarming problem started recently, about two weeks ago:
    At random, my screen will "glitch out" and go black. This usually happens when performing some innocuous action like moving a window or opening a random app.
    When in this state, the MacBook will not wake up so I have to do a hard reboot. Then the system will not make it back to the Finder. It will get to a solid gray screen, I can hear the fan ramp up and then it will shut itself down again.
    The only way to reboot is to go into single user mode (command-S) and then run "/sbin/fsck -y" twice because the first run modifies my startup disk for some unreported reason. Then my MacBook will run fine for a couple hours before I have to repeat the process all over again.
    I've run Apple's Hardware Test and everything came up fine. I did some research and found this old article, which describes a similar bug in the MacBook model prior to mine (late 2010), which suggests some kind of known graphics card hardware bug:
    http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-acknowledges-2010-macbook-pro-black-screen-bug/
    Any solutions out there, beyond taking it to an Apple Store?
    EDIT: I subsequently found this discussion, which describes the same defect:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/25002119#25002119

    I've found a solution — or rather a patch. I downloaded gfxCardStatus and set it as a Startup Item. It adds an icon and menu to Mac OS X's menu bar, and from there you can tell the system to use the "Integrated Only" graphics hardware instead of "Dynamic Switching."
    This apparently prevents the system from using the "Discrete Only" graphics hardware, which in my case was causing the crashes.
    This patch allows all graphics-intensive apps to run on my Mac, including iPhoto, Photoshop and SketchUp.
    Apple, when are you going to address this problem? Your hardware test apps failed to find any hardware problems.

  • IPhone screen keeps going black and buttons are unresponsive

    Hey everyone, I left my iPhone 5 on charging and woke up to find the screen black, as if it's been turned off. None of the buttons work and neither does hooking it up to the computer. I held the power and home button together to reset it and turn it back on. Luckily it worked, but after an hour or two the screen went black again. This has happened four or so times since yesterday and is getting quite annoying. Does anyone know what is the cause of this problem or how it can be fixed?
    Thanks

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings without using any backup:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If this does not work, contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • Help!  My MacBook Pro screen keeps going black and I have to reboot.  I have sent the error report numerous times to Apple to no avail (See below).  I also took it into the Mac store and they reinstalled Lion to no avail.

    Looks like an issue with the GPU or with VRAM. You do have a third-party extension loaded, so you might try working in Safe Mode to see if the panics cease. If they do then uninstall the software for VaraAudio to determine if its driver is the cause. Also disconnect any third-party peripherals.

  • I can't get a thunderbolt connection to work between my iMac and new macbook air

    I would like to establish a connection between my iMac and new macbook air using a thunderbolt connector. Nothing seems to happen when I plug the cable in to each device. When I open Settings/Network it shows up the Thunderbolt bridge as 'Not Connected' on the MacBook and as 'Some Connected' on the iMac. I have no problems with connecting another device (iPad) to the iMac. Can anyone help please?

    Nothing happens when I try to boot up using the command+R keys.
    Did you hold down those keys before booting and continue till you get to a selections window?  You should get this:
    If you can't boot into the Recovery volume make an appointment with the nearest Apple Genius bar for a diagnosis.  You're still under warranty.
