My Sandisk 8gb card won't download into my MacBook pro. It was working perfectly 24hrs ago. Any ideas out there?

How can this be? As I have changed nothing in my mac. It's so frustrating, can anyone suggest what to do?

I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I am about to go get my 4th iphone 4s since November! Up in the left coener where it shows your signal strength, it goes into searching mode and stays there. Kills my battery. This one has lasted the longest-I got it December 23. Any ideas out there?

I am about to go get my 4th iphone 4s since November! Up in the left corner where it shows your signal strength, it goes into searching mode and stays there. Kills my battery. While in searching, no calls can be made/recieved, no internet, etc. This one has lasted the longest-I got it December 23. Any ideas out there?

Both. The first two, I did use my itunes. The guy at the apple store said that could be the problem. The last time they gave me a new phone and SIM card, and the tech said it wouldnt be the itunes. Just to be safe, I never connected this phone to the itunes until last night-after it started searching- to save everything since I'm sure they will be replacing the phone today. But hey, thanks for the suggestions. I'm about at my wits end with Apple!! Especially since i added a third line to my account just so I could get an iphone back.

I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync. I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address. Any ideas out there please

It might be logical to someone, but not to me. I agree it's a pain.
How did you change your Apple ID? Creating a new one is not what you want to do, but if you changed the ID associated with your purchases then that might have worked. You would need to sign in with the Apple ID on both your iPod Touch as well as in iTunes. I'm not sure how you changed it but clearly they need to match.
If it's just your password that is not getting recognized reset it here: http://iforgot.apple.com/
It will send an email confirmation to the email address associated with that Apple ID. The email address you elect to use might not look anything like your Apple ID. If you don't appear to get an email check your spam filter.

Sandisk SD Card won't download images

A friend of mine is having trouble opening Raw images he shot on D800 Nikon. They won't open on his Macbook Pro, but I can open them on my IMac. Any advice?

Yep - I can open a NEF file in Preview, as well.
Maybe your friend needs this update - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1604?

Since downloading Iphoto 11, we now cannot import photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ-15 camera. Any ideas out there as to why this is occuring. I can still import them onto my laptop which is running Iphoto9

Since downloading Iphoto 11 onto our desktop computer we now cannot import the photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ15 into Iphoto. However I can import them from the camera onto my Macbook which is still running Iphoto 9.
When I connect the camera and IPhoto loads, the spinning wheel just keeps on spinning and nothing happens, I have to Force Quit Iphoto to get out of the program. Totally frustrated, it would seem that it is an Iphoto 11 software problem. Any suggestions out there?
Regards
Phil

Terence,
not sure what happens here right now, I didn't mean to be offensive. So please let's stay calm. There are some issues with Panasonics described in these threads, and they do sound similar to the issue I'm facing (somewhat hard to say, as a) these people do not use exactly the same camera as I do and b) the descriptions of their problems are not very detailed). I would retract the term "a LOT of issues". Sorry.
Back in September I described my issue here
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3308591?start=0&tstart=0
but then the discussion there stopped. Since we were still able to import images manually into iPhoto (and took care of leaving out already imported pictures ourselves), we could live with this as a workaround.
Since everything worked well recently on my machine with the latest iPhoto version, I decided to upgrade iPhoto on my wife's Mac (where the import problems occured) from '09 to latest '11 (9.2.1). However, after that iPhoto still could not import from the Panasonic's SD card (rotating ball when inserting the card reader, and rotating ball after starting up iPhoto afterwards even w/o card reader plugged in, until the next reboot). So I re-built iPhoto's database (32000 images - 12 hours). Didn't help either. It worked however with a Casio Z-1000's SD card. Thus I re-formatted the Panasonic card yesterday and it seems to work since then.
My point is that I consider it weird that a SD card works with one Mac and doesn't work with another, although both use the same version of OS X and iPhoto. And, I'm somewhat doubtfull that re-formatting the card will solve this issue permanently. I believe that I tried to re-format the card already back in September, when I dealt with the issue for the first time, but I have no prove of that.
I will keep an eye on it and will report here if the problem comes up again.
Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Thomas.

Acrobat pro XI won't download on my MacBook Pro Yosemite

I paid for Acrobat XI Pro Subscription Edition on 28 October 2014. It wouldn't download then on my MacBook Pro (Yosemite). How can I donwload it without having to pay again?
It is amazing that the only service I can get is from a community forum.
If someone from ADOBE is reading this please know that I am paying for a service and I can't even get the software onto my computer.
It is probably time to start a twitter campaign

Hi 12x6x24,
What happens when you try to download Acrobat? Do you get an error message? What browser are you trying to download from? Are you able to download it directly from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - Adobe
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

You can download 10.9 from the App Store, providing your MBP meets the requirements.
Mavericks requirements:

If your machine supports 10.9 Mavericks, go to the App Store and type Mavericks in the search bar and it will take to the download.

Firefox 29.1 won't download to my Macbook Pro running 10.6.8.

Trying to download 29.0.1 to MBP on 10.6.8 and the progress bar says that it is trying to connect to the server. This goes on for as long as I let it (hours) so is clearly not happy.
I then cancel the download and continue with v28 and all is well.
Is the latest version of Ff not compatible with my OS?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 29.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Mavericks won't download to my MacBook Pro.

It starts then disappears! Any suggestions from anyone? I was told it should work by someone at the Mac store, that I didn't have to do progressive upgrades first (ie: mountain lion). At the moment I have MAC OSX LION 10.7.5. An
yone else with this problem?

Make sure the Firewall is turned off in Sytem Preferences > Securitiy & Privacy > Firewall
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem besides the Home button.

My 3gs won't hold a full charge for long, and also won't stay in any ap for more than 2 minutes and shuts down. I have replaced the battery, same symptoms. Any ideas out there?

My iPhone baffles me. It started doing this and I was told it was the battery, so I replaced the battery. Nope, same issues. Here they are. After a full charge which takes only about an hour, it rapidly loses power after another hour or so. While in my apps, I can keep them open for maybe 2 minutes and they shut down. When I do the double tap to see whats running, the apps I opened are, however they are't. Wierd stuff here folks I hope someone has had this before and can help me out. I don't have a job and cant' afford a new phone.
thanks for help in advance.

Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running. This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore. Has a reset or restore been tried?
Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

T420 - fan repaired, but now the SD card won't fit into slot

I'm going to post a couple of the current issues my daughter, freshman ID student is having with her brand new t420 laptop. Here's this one...
My daughter had issues with a very noisy fan. She had it fixed, and I'm not sure what they did. However, now her SD card won't fit into the SD slot (which it used to do). Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Thanks!!
Linda
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@Linda,
Did it get stuck when putting the SD card in? If the SD card is inserted correctly but can't fit in properly then I would suggest to send it support for them to check.

Keep getting "loading/waiting" message when I try to download or update anything on my iPad. I have tried signing out and in. Turning iPad off and on, left it off overnight, and spoken with iPad support, nothing. Any help out there?

Keep getting a "loading/waiting" message when I try to download/update anything. Sometimes something will download. I have signed out and turned the thing off and back on, signed in and no help. I have did the sleep button and home button thing, no help. I have talked to iPad support and so far, no help. Any ideas out there?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
 Cheers, Tom

Downloaded Yosemite on Macbook Pro, tried to install now computer is stuffed. Any ideas anyone?

Hi, I have a 2011 Macbook Pro which was working fine until I tried to install Yosemite.
It downloaded okay, but failed to install coming up with an error message that I cant recall.
I have tried Internet Recovery, but the computer sat there with the countdown stuck at 24hrs, for 2 hours, got very hot and then came up with an exclamation mark over the globe icon and an error message which was 2002F I think. Any ideas anyone? I am trying to get back to OSX Mavericks and keep it that way until Apple sort themselves out.

Try booting and holding down the "option" key and see if the old OS is still intact.
Otherwise you'll have to go back to the old OS.
Let us know and we'll walk you through either retrieving via "Target Disk Mode" or pulling the current hard drive.
The first will require another Mac the second at least another drive and an external enclosure or a dongle.

HT201272 So I preorered an album from iTunes and now it won't download into my libraray. It says that I purchased it on iTunes, but it won't even show up in the "Purchsed" library in my account. Does anyone know what I am supposed to do to downlaod it?

If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button. If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.
