After installing firefox 4 on macbook pro, firefox 3.6 comesback
First, we love Firefox! However, even though I've installed Firefox 4 repeatedly on my Macbook Pro, OS X 10.6.6, when I close my session by clicking "Quit Firefox" , I get back Firefox 3.6.16 next time I open Firefox. I.e., Firefox 4 doesn't replace 3.6.16 permanently after the initial session is closed. This never happened with other updates. Please fix! Thank you :-) Suzanne
Answer to this is to use Finder to go to the Applications folder and then drag the old Firefox to the wastebasket. Then try installing the new firefox again and it should work.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.

Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

After installing mavericks on my macbook pro my laptop keeps rebooting
How can I find out what might be happening to cause this behaviour?
Is anyone else seeing this odd behaviour?
I didn't have a booting issue before installing Mavericks, since installing I have had at least 4 random reboots. After logging in, I get a message that the system booted unexpectedly and I uploaded the info to Apple. One time it showed the reboot occured during the wakup from sleep.
As a side question, how can I tell the system to NOT relaunch all applications that where running before.
Mike P.Hi Clinton (and original poster/responders)
I have been having the same problem, with random reboots after installing Mavericks. Sometimes, it goes into a loop of restarting for a while before successfully launching (even rebooting when I click on my user id to log in to OS) . Thanks, and,
Here are the results from using EtreCheck: (P.S.: I use an external usb harddrive for TimeMachine, and it hasn't been connected during these restarts)

System not booting after installing 2010-006 on MacBook Pro.
Today I've installed security update 2010-006 onto a current model, 13" MacBook Pro (the 2.4GHz one if that's relevant) and now it won't boot, just the spinning circle.
If I put it into verbose mode then I get "no suitable image found" and then "the system bootstrapper has crashed: trace/bpt trap".
If I try and boot from the Snow Leopard install DVD then it comes up with "you need to restart your computer" and I can't get any further (this is a working DVD as I've tried it in another machine, and I've also tried booting the installer from USB with the same error).
Is there anything I can do? The hard drive seems fine, and I can reinstall it if I must, but naturally want my data back, as though I have a backup, it's a few weeks old now.Having a similar issue here on an Intel Core Duo iMac. Updated last night and system wouldn't boot. Some of the "offending" lines in verbose mode:

Booting from my Snow Leopard DVD caused a different kernel panic.
Booting in Safe mode (holding down shift) is possible (wouldn't be posting this otherwise lol), but I don't know how to update the offending kernel extension. Software Update updated correctly and there are no other pending updates.

After installing Mavericks OS, My MacBook Pro is Slow and weak?
Recently I upgraded to Mavericks OS system from Mountain Lion. I use MacBook Pro 17" of 2011 with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7.
Mavericks supposed to be faster and saves more battery life. But it was not in my case. I do most of my work with Ms. Office 2011.
1) I find the Finder is extremely slow to respond. It takes more than One minute to open the folder files.
2) I find the Ms.Office is very slow. Powerpoint slides are NOT showing the content on the column view. The system battery goes down very quickly with Powerpoint.
3) The battery does NOT last more than 5 hours, comparatively it was usually be NINE HOURS.
I have reinstalled the Mavericks as advised by the Apple Expert from Apple Inc.
Still the Problem exist. What do I do?Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Hi everyone,
I just installed a Crucial MX10512 GB SSD into my 2009 Macbook Pro. It's definitely much faster, but the read and write disk speed is around 200 Mb/s for both versus the 300-500 Mb/s that the SSD advertised. Any ideas as to why? And is there anything I can do to make it faster? Before I installed it, it was between 80-90 Mb/s.
Specs:
- currently have about 460 of 511 GB of storage available
- am using 2GB of memory
- running on 10.10.2 Yosemite
Thanks!nataliemint wrote:
Drew, forgive me for being so computer-incompetent but how would I boot from another OS? And shouldn't I be checking the read speeds on my current OS (Yosemite) anyways because I want to know how the SSD is performing on the OS I use? And finally, what kind of resources would it be using that would be slowing down my SSD?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm not a Macbook wiz by any means!
You could make a clone of your internal OS onto an external disk. Hopefully you already have a backup of some form
A clone is a full copy, so you can boot from it. It makes a good backup as well as being useful to test things like this.
Carbon Copy Cloner will make one or you can use Disk Utility to 'restore' your OS from the internal disk to an external one.
Ideally the external disk is a fast disk with a fast 'interface' like Thunderbolt, Firewire 800 or USB3. USB2 can work, but it is slow & may effect the test.
You connect the clone, hold alt at startup & select the external disk in the 'boot manager'. When the Mac is finished booting run the speed tester.
Maybe this one…
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/blackmagic-disk-speed-test/id425264550
Test the internal & compare to the previous tests
A running OS will do the following on it's boot disk…
Write/ read cache files from running apps
Write/ read memory to disk if memory is running low
Index new files if content is changing or being updated
Copy files for backing up (Time Machine or any other scheduled tasks)
Networking can also trigger read/ write on the disk too.
You may not have much activity that effects a disk speed test, but you can't really be sure unless that disk is not being used for other tasks.
Disk testing is an art & science in itself, see this if you want to get an idea …
http://macperformanceguide.com/topics/topic-Storage.html
Simply knowing that it's about twice the speed would be enough to cheer me up -

Hi there
after installing Mavericks on my macbookpro 2009 (Japanese keyboards) the layout doesn't work anymore. I mean, if I press the "@" button the "è" symbol comes out. I did already change the layout in the Preferences but it didn't work.
Could anyone help me please?Apple has changed the way Kotoeri keyboard layouts work. You should be able to get normal behavior if you activate the US layout and switch to that just before using Kotoeri. Here is also an Apple note on the topic with another suggestion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5284
Be sure to tell Apple you want this changed back to the way if was in 10.8 and earlier via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
If you know Japanese well, you might ask on the Japanese discussions whether someone has found a better fix for this:

Help after installing additional SSD to macbook pro early 2011
I just installed a new ssd in addition the my original harddrive by removing the superdrive. I got everything working good and can see both drives in Finder (OSX MT LION was installed in the SSD then i used migration assistant to get user info into SSD but i did not transfer music, downloads, or pictures). The problem is that i cannot access my old folders off the harddrive because it says i do not have permission to open. I tried right clicking on many different folders, including the subfolders, and choosing "Get Info" in order to change permissions to allow everyone to read and write but I am still not able to go in and when I did get into a folder there was nothing in there. I thought i might have had deleted my files accidentally but when I see the disk space available, the harddrive only has 100 Gigs free (out of 500gb) and iPhoto found all my pictures, told me there was a problem with the permissions and fixed them, now i can see all my pictures in iPhoto. Any suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
If your hard drive in the opti-bay is still 'intact' and bootable, I would just boot to it, use Disk Utility to (once again) erase and format the SSD and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the HD to the SSD. You'd have no permissions problems after that.
Good luck,

Title pretty much says it all. I installed Moutain Lion today and every ten minutes or so no matter what I'm doing my computer freezes up (iTunes always first) and then the entire computer freezes. What can I do to stop this?
I always have to hold down the power button to reboot, nothing else works to make it unfreeze.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

Create 3rd partition after installing Windows 7 on Macbook Pro (Lion preinstalled)?
Hi, currently I'm having 2 partition: Macintosh HD - Lion (~680GB) and Bootcamp - Windows 7 (~60GB). Now I want to take ~600GB from the 1st partition to create a FAT32 data storage. My question is: is it possible to do so without reinstalling any OS?
Do not add a partition after BootCamp. BootCamp manipulates the boot-sector of a Mac disk to allow dual-booting. But manually adding a third partition will break that tenuous multi-boot balance.
Many threads posted by people who need to restore OSX from a backup and lose their BootCamp data due to system instability attest to the tourble you can cause.
Buy an external drive and use that for FAT32 (or EXFAT to allow files larger than 4 GB) storage. -
Are you guys facing any prolems after installing Lion OS on macbook pro?
The cross tab for closing a tab on safari vanishes from the tab when I look to close it. Windows are hanging more often too. I am facing these issues since I installed Lion OS.
Leave your machine plugged in overnight so that your MBP can re-index your files. As with any install, do a Permissions run afterwards...and came back here with your results. I'd like to know what happened.
