    You will need to uninstall, run the Cleaner tool and reinstall you adobe applications. Adobe apps don't take kindly to inplace updates of the OS on Macs.

    Phone AppleCare with your computer's serial no. and request replacements. There will be a charge for this service.

  • Mac OSX Installer Hangs During Installation

    Macbook Pro 15"
    Core 2 Duo 2.53Ghz
    4Gb RAM
    9400M
    Erased Hard Disk,
    Boot from CD
    Mac OSX installer hangs during installation
    Time remaining remains the same for >3 hours
    After clicking get spinny beachball cursor.
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    The installer may actually not be hunging, in my installation on Win XP, I have seen it "pause" at this point for 5 min or more before continuing with the installation to a successful completion, I did not try to do anything to assist it. Try giving it more time and see what happens.

  • I accidentally deleted my iMovie off my mac, anyone know how to get it back because it came for free and is now 15 dollars to buy back??? pls help

    i accidentally deleted my iMovie off my mac, anyone know how to get it back because it came for free and is now 15 dollars to buy back??? pls help

    If you mean you accidentally removed the icon for iMovie from the Dock (the array of icons at the bottom of the window), you can add it back easily.
    Open the Applications folder (if you open it from the Dock you may then need to click the Open in Finder icon), locate the iMovie program.
    Drag the icon for iMovie down to the Dock, somewhere between the icon for Finder and the dashed line toward the right.
    Wait for the icons at that spot to move aside, then drop it in.

  • Can my Mac OSX v 10.6 get a virus?

    I have been getting notifications from my Server (Telus) that I have a virus - is this possible and do I need to get antivirus software now ?!!
    My system is OS X 10.6.8

    The question is misleading. What do you mean by 'virus'?
    If you mean a specific type of malicious software, ie, one which "can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another", then, judging by what we know at present, no.
    But, if, by 'virus', you mean any kind of malware, including worms, Trojan Horses, rootkits, etc, then the answer is definitely, yes. In fact, in the past three weeks, we've seen an infection of an insidious Trojan Horse, which seems capable to take advantage of vulnerabilities in Java to install itself without user interaction, which is a virus-like behaviour. (Tell anyone who doesn't know about this to search the forum for "flashback".)

    I doubt it. Of course, I don't know what notifications you've been getting from your ISP, but I'm guessing you misunderstood the notification. I suspect that, if you read carefully the notice, you'll see it's not about a virus, but about a Trojan Horse, likely one of the DNS Changer variety.

  • How to get out of os x installer due to corrupt cd

    Hey everyone.
    I was trying to upgrade my mini from 10.3 to Tiger via cd. It was going well until the 4th cd. The cd didnt work and now I'm stuck in the installer and cant get out of it. I want to reload 10.3 for now and get a replacement 4th cd.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    mini    

    I would invest in a DVD drive, and the mini doesn't have one? most Tiger disks are/were DVD (there was a CD exchange program).
    Backup before ever doing any type of upgrade.
    Get a copy of Tiger DVD 10.4.6 (current, $109 @ Amazon)
    A sufficient FW drive and case.
    You will need to repair your drive. I would not want to even try to do an Archive & install. Erase (after backing up what you need that is essential).

  • Stuck in restart - how to get out and reboot

    I have a MacBook that is stuck in restart mode. Any advice how to get out and restart? Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
    Try powering off and restarting in 'Safe Mode': The instant you hear the startup tone, hold down the shift key and keep it held down as explained in this Apple support note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    A Safe Mode restart does take much longer than a normal start, because the computer checks the hard drive and ignores cached kernel extensions that normally speed boot-up.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1884
    Note that not all devices and services, notably WiFi, may be available after a Safe Mode start.
    This is not necessarily an indication of a hardware error.
    After your computer starts in Safe Mode, you should shut down, and attempt to restart normally.

  • I am stuck on blind assist. how to get out?

    Does any one have a) same problem b) a solution?

    Tap once to select an item. Double tap to activate the item. Use THREE fingers to scroll.
    Hilarious that you would think there was no way out, and your phone was bricked.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
