These two bugs have never been fixed since 10.8

I've reported them over and over and it just seemed to get fixed. Because of these two issues I have decided that my 2013 Macbook Air will be my last Mac. These issues I have replicated on multiple Macs, not just my own. I've seen it with my own eyes happening to other Mac users so please don't tell me these two issues are not happening, because they are.
The Finder is my biggest gripe. Apple ditched AFP for their own in house version of SAMBA. If you have a drive or folder of a server mounted in the finder and that server goes offline, you can't eject the drive or folder without the Finder locking up and having to force quit and relaunch the Finder. Not only does this happen if the server goes offline but it seems to happen if you've had the server mounted for too long. 10.8 - present
When opening iTunes it would hang often when waking from sleep. iTunes would not open it just bounces up and down until you force quit. 10.9 - present
General need to force quit applications for me has become common place as each new OS X version comes out.

"General need to force quit applications for me has become common place as each new OS X version comes out."
yes, it's more and more like windows after each update...

    I have never been able to use the Macmail feature.  Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct.  Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in.  It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me.  Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

    Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
    Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

    You may have to get Pacifist...

    then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
    Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

  • I have CS5 design premium student and teacher edition, have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features

    I have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features unavailable to me? Or do I have to upgrade the version I have? If so, how much would that be?

    The only "content aware" feature in CS5 is the fill, so you are not missing anything with the updates because nothing more is there. And I honestly don't know what you mean by "Adobe watermarks" there is no such thing, but there is a series of scripts for such stuff.

    Hello cpikehfx, 
    Welcome to the forums. 
    You can try one of the two options below to work around your issue. 
    Drag and drop the files from the desired music folder to the BlackBerry Music folder using the computer.
    Open the desired music folder on the computer
    Go into Computer or My Computer and open the BlackBerry network drive
    Open the Music folder
    Drag the desired music files from the computer music folder to the BlackBerry Music folder
    Try a different Windows profile.
    Go into the Control Panel and create a new user account
    Put some music files in a folder that is accessible by all profiles or transfer them to the BlackBerry device
    Log out of the current profile and log into the new profile
    Transfer music into iTunes or Windows Media Player
    Launch BlackBerry Link and go through the setup configuring the music source of your choice
    Click on the Computer name in the bottom left corner of Link
    Select Music on the left side
    Drag and drop the desired music files from the list to the BlackBerry name in the bottom left corner of Link
    If neither of these options work for you then you will want to contact your mobile service provider and ask that this issues be escalate to BlackBerry support for investigation. 
    Hope this helps. Have a good day.

  • Cannot and have never been able to connect to a testing server

    Hello
    I am using Dreamweaver and am trying to set up a testing site using IIS.  I can’t get it set up.  It says I don’t have administrative privileges.  I am the administrator.  This is a home computer and I am the only user  of the computer. I am just a novice.
    I posted my problem in an Adobe forum.  I was told to enter a command in the  administrator command because I am not an administrator (this made me scratch my head???).  The following is what I was told to enter:
    icacls %systemdrive%\inetpub /grant  %userdomain%\%username%:(OI)(CI)(F) /grant %userdomain%\%username%:F
    it does not work and says there is no command for” icasis”  I am not sure what I need to enter, however.  For system drive I put “C”.  For user name I put the name of my computer. For user name I put my user name.
    This is what I ended up with and this is what I put in the administrators command prompt:
    icacls %C%\inetpub /grant  %Joe-II%\%jtb%:(OI)(CI)(F) /grant %Joe-II%\%jtb%:F
    I am sure this is wrong.
    In addition, in properties of inetpub wwwroot it says I have read and write for both administrator and iis_iusrs privilages (I set it up following a DW tutorial).
    So why can’t I set up testing server on iis? This problem has gone on for years.  I have newer versions of Adobe and operating systems and I have never been able to set up a testing server.  By the way, this is windows 8 professional.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  I would even pay someone to solve my problem but don’t know where I would go to do this.

    << Response was:
    Hello,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues.
    From the information you have provided, it would appear that your issue is based somewhere in the user account permissions configuration on your PC.
    I recommend taking the following steps to ensure your user account has administrative permissions:
    Open your "Start" menu and right click on "Computer" (or "My Computer" depending on your version of Windows).
    Select "Manage".
    In the new window titled "Computer Management", select "Local Users and Groups" under "System Tools".
    Select the folder labeled "Users" and find your user account in the right panel.
    Right click on your user name and select "properties".
    Select the "Member of" tab and verify that you see "Administrators."
    If not, you can select "Add" and then type "Administrators" in the field labeled "Enter the object names to select".
    Please update us with the results once you've followed these instructions and we can troubleshoot based on that further information.
    Be sure to let us know of any error messages or pop up windows you encounter.

    My response:  I did what you asked and I am listed as an Administrator or do see Administrators there.  Thank you for your response. Hopefully you can trouble shoot from what I have replied.
    Again, this has been going on for so long.  I would even bee willing to pay to have this problem cleared up.  Again, thanks.

    Perhaps one of the hits returned on a google search "setting up iis server" will help: https://www.google.com/search?q=setting+up+iis+server&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozil la:en-US:official&client=firefox-a.
    I sympathize, as I had a lot of trouble trying to set up a localhost server on a Win8 computer. Experienced many false starts. Finally got it working to the extent I could actually work on a WP site locally, but the set up is still weird in that when I uploaded all the new files to make them live, nothing updated. Ended up making all the changes again to the live site.

  • I have never been able to use Firefox to view my OWA until I added the IE-Tab Add-on. Was this a known limitation for Firefox?

    I have never been able to use Firefox to view my OWA (Outlook Web Access). It always prompts for creds that it doesn't accept anyway. Until I added the IE-Tab Add-on, was this a known limitation for Firefox?

    Hi prime_anthony and thank you for asking. I do not think this is a Firefox limitation because I have been accessing my OWA too via Firefox on a Linux machine. I can login using my domain account and password without any problem and without using IE-Tab add-on.
    It probably depends on the version of the Outlook Web Access or the Exchange Server. Newer versions of these already have Firefox supported.

  • I have an iPhone and a Mac that have never been synced. Will both contact listings merger?

    I have an iPhone and a Mac that have never been synced. Both contact lists are different. If I do sync will the two listings merge, or will one be synced over the other. Is there a way to backup both devices before thevsync so I don't lose any contact?

    You have to download the iPhone version of the app - if there are two different versions and if you do not want to pay for the iPad version.
    Look in the App Store for the iPhone version and then try to download that one,

  • Have never been able to sync apps

    Hi guys. I have never been able to sync my apps. I have tried ticking and unticking the "automatically install new apps" under the apps tab in iTunes. Under preferences: general: sources, I have made sure that Apps is ticked. When I try to back up the phone, there's a pop up message that says, "there are apps on your phone which are not in your iTunes library. Would you like to back up these apps from your iPhone?" Even though I select, "back up apps," nothing ever backs up.
    Under device, in the Apps tab for syncing, on the right side, I see a screen shot of all of the pages and apps exactly as it appears on my phone. But on the left, where the list is, there is nothing in the list.
    In the Apps tab under Library, there is absolutely nothing.
    What is the problem? My guess: I have never downloaded or bought an app using my computer. I have always downloaded/installed/bought apps using the blue App Store icon on my phone. Could this be why I can't sync apps to the computer?

    I deauthorized and then reauthorized my iTunes and this seems to have done the trick!

  • I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from an older MAC to a newer MAC. My newer MAC has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. Help!!!

    I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. How do I find all my files on the MacBook Pro, or undo what I have done???

    IGNORE the last post: he thought you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Since you are using Snow Leopard, you need to install Rosetta.  It can be found on your Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Options section.
    Once installed all should be well again.
    Also, if your computer is connected to the internet when the Dialog Box about PowerPC applications comes up, it MIGHT allow you to download Rosetta from the internet.  There has been some discussion that Apple has discontined internet download of Rosetta into Snow Leopard.
    Someone else will have to address your lost files problem.

    hi can anyone help please ? i have had apple products now for apron 7 years BUT have never been able to make the bluetooth work , not even when 2 products i.e. : phone and iPod are in the same room. So i stopped trying but would like to set it up between my iMac and iphone / ipad but can't get it to work, they say discoverable but just will not connect to one another. I also tried the connection code and tried without one ... NO JOY ... Is this common or am i a twit ?

    You can't connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac via Bluetooth, except for Internet tethering.
    You're not doing anything wrong - it just isn't a feature of iOS devices.
    What were you hoping a Bluetooth connection would allow you to do?

    Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image  Adobe Premier Elements 13  need help!  .jpg and mpeg images,  but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago.  I am desperate for assistance!

    That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
    First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
    I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
    I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

  • [CS3] I have never been able to get this right: Batch/Droplet and output file naming??????

    Hi,
    The situation:
    I need to convert a folder of PDF's to PNG format.
    My process:
    I create an action by recording my "actions" based on one of the said PDF's.
    Problem:
    When batching and/or processing via a droplet (created from action I created from above), the output file name is ALWAYS the EXACT name of the file I used when I created my action!!! Why? I have tried everything... Why is it so hard for Photoshop to batch a file and use the file name of the current file being batched (and not the name of the original file that the action was created from)???
    Please help!
    I feel like such a dunce... I am sure the answer is staring me right in the face.
    Many thanks in advance!!!
    Cheers,
    Micky

    Hi Conrad!
    Thanks for the help, I greatly appreciate your time. :)
    Sorry for my delayed reply.
    I never touched the file name for the save as dialog box.
    I have use PS for many years, and I have never been able to get the file name to stay the same as the file being processed. :(
    My boss even, he is a beta tester of future versions of Adobe products, and he could not get it to work...
    It only worked for me/us when appending a digit to the end of the file name. Not an optimal solution, but it works. ;)
    @Foot, I am glad this thread was helpful! :D
    Have a great day all!
    Cheers,
    Micky
