Application title won't accept a "highlight"

I bought into File Guard by Intego and the Application name in Finder in "applications" won't allow me to Highlight it with a color... What could be the cause of this (being that all my other application titles allow me to highlight them)?
Any opinions, comments and or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.....
Thank you in advance...

It probably just means that you don't have write permissions for that file. If you have admin rights then you can change the permissions - open the info window for the file, click on the lock at the bottom of the info window (under Sharing & Permissions), enter your password and change the entry for 'admin' to 'Read & Write'. The colour selector should become available immediately.
It's rare in OS X for applications to install without write permission for admins, but it does happen occasionally (I had only 1/66).

Please repost in the Final Cut Pro forum. Have you considered upgrading your machine, if you are still running Leopard your machine may be as old as 5 years old. While this should not matter you probably won't get the performance you want out of a demanding app like FCP.
Best of luck.

Application install damaged. Reinstall won't accept serial number. How can I reinstall?

I purchased Acrobat Pro 6 for Mac in 2004 and over the years, upgraded to 11.0, which I've used successfully until this morning. When I tried to open the app, I got a message saying it was damaged and needs to be reinstalled. I have not changed computers or OS since last week when it was working fine.
To correct the problem, I downloaded the program from the Adobe web site, but it won't accept my serial number to complete installation.

The options depend on your type of query, something which seems designed to frustrate. Adobe support do not answer "how to" (though they should help with troubleshooting, sure). Adobe must know that most people just click wildly rather than spending hours agonising over exactly the right description, and even if they did, the categories are poor.
Go for a more accurate description: Downloading installing, setting up; serial numbers and redemption codes ; still need help

On Kindle, Adobe won't accept my dob after I logged in to join cloud. What to do?

On Kindle, Adobe won't accept my dob after I logged in to join cloud. What to do?

Jim you will need to install an additional application. You will want to look for applications which work for the Android OS which is what the Kindle is running. From my understanding though the Kindle has it's own store so not all of the software titles referenced maybe available in the Kindle store.

Time Capsule won't accept my user name and password for access - Help!

Hi all,
My Time Capsule seemed to stop working one day and I had to do a hard reset with the little button at the back. After that it worked and I restored my wireless network settings but now I can't access the Time Capsules hard drive with Time Machine.
When I try to choose it as my Backup Disk in the Time Machine preferences it says "Enter your user name and password so Time Machine can access the file server "Our Time Capsule" (the name of my time capsule). However, every time I try to enter my password I get "Sorry, you entered an invalid username or password".
I've already tried several resets of the Time Capsule and I've also tried logging on my computer as the Root user and changing my administrator account password back and forth but no go.
Help! and Thanks.

Norman & Harry,
Consider the following:
*_Time Capsule Keeps Asking Me For a Password_*
It will be important to know what is going on, or what you are doing when it asks for the password. Is it asking for a password only when Time Machine attempts a backup? Consider this:
It is NOT your username and password it wants when you try accessing the Time Capsule. (I know... it SAYS "username and password") But it means the Time Capsule's Name and Password.
You will find that by launching Airport Utility.
Select the TC on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Click the "Time Capsule" Tab.
You will see "Time Capsule Name:" and "Time Capsule Password".
Make sure “Remember password in keychain" is checked.
That is the information you need to enter when it asks for "username & password."
*I Don’t Remember What My Time Capsule Password Is*
You can see what your current TC password is by going into Keychain.
Open your Keychain and select "login" from the Keychains pane in the top left. Highlight "Passwords" in the Category pane from the lower left.
Sort all the items by Kind. Note everything labeled "Airport...". How many do you have listed? There should only be one "Airport base station password" for each base station that you have active. Also, there should only be one "Airport network password" for each network you have created. If there are more than these, then delete all but the ones with the most recent Modification date.
To see what passwords are being stored, double-click your Time Capsules' entry. A new window will appear.
Put a check beside "Show Password". You may be asked for your own Admin password so enter that.
Now the Password field will display the password you entered into Airport Utility for your Time Capsule
*It Still Won’t Accept the TC Name and Password*
Launch Airport Utility --> Manual Setup.
Select "Disks" in the tool bar above.
Click the "File Sharing" tab.
Is "File Sharing" checked? It should be.
What is selected beside "Secure Shared Disks"? If it says "With Accounts" or "With a Disk Password" then the system will ask you for a password every time it mounts the TC hard disk. If you switch it to "With Time Capsule Password" then use the password you designated earlier in the “Time Capsule" tab. It should only ask you once and then never again - because you had checked "Remember password in keychain".
If you have made any changes then click "Update".
Let us know if this resolves your issue.
Cheers!

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

Java install won't accept Ok ?? Desperate for help??

Java install won't accept <Ok>?? Desperate for help??
I've decided that I'm going to develop my Rails applications in Linux and keep hitting a BRICK WALL every time I try to install NetBeans or Java. I download all of the packages and come to a text screen that says "Package Configuration" and then "Configuring sun-java5-bin" and then it asks you to read the agreement and there's an <Ok> at the bottom. I can't get through this and everytime it fails my 'package manager' goes bonkers and I have to reload the Ubuntu Gutys Gibbon operating system AGAIN!!!
I push ENTER and type in "yes" and "Ok" and there is no response.
I've loaded this operating system FIVE TIMES NOW and the bottleneck is very frustrating as I can't program in a graphics environment without Java.
I joined this forum just to ask this question and would be grateful for a reply at [email protected]
Thank you,

My cd drive won't accept any cd

My cd drive won't accept any CDs or DVDs it's like there's something blocking it from entering, and it does these funny nose everytime I turn on my Mac book pro......... This problem started today after I was trying to insert a disk in, at first it was accepting the disk then spitting it out after 2 time it just wouldn't accept it anymore....... I have a Mac book pro mid 2010 processor 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo Memory 4gb 1067 MHz ddr3 software OS X 10.8.2 (12c60)

Are you sure that there's nothing stuck in the optical drive? Try the below eject methods to see what happens.
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Just bought CC, LR5 won't accept new CC serial number

I just purchased CC and downloaded LR5 but it won't accept my new CC serial number, and will only let me continue with the trial version of the software. Help?
I am also encountering a Download Error warning under the Apps tab on Creative Cloud desktop. Hitting the "reload applications" button just re-loads the error message.
I am on a Mac 10.8.3.
Thank you!

Thanks Dave, that had been my understanding too, but then in trying to resolve the Download Error problem I had come across something that suggested I might need a serial number. I'll ignore that and focus on the Download Error! I guess I'd better post that in a new thread though unless you have any ideas about that? I tried downloading and installing LR5 from the Adobe site itself instead of through CC desktop but that didn't help: the first time I tried to open LR5 it said it had to be opened by AAM, which then produced the Download Error message again. The second time I attempted to open the software (and every attempt since) it asks me for a serial number. A computer restart hasn't helped.

After upgrading to OS X Yosemite, I keep getting popups asking for my "Local Items" keychain for cloudd, calendar, messenger and on and on...and then it wants me to change my password, only won't accept it when I do.

After upgrading to OS X Yosemite, I keep getting popups asking for my "Local Items" keychain for cloudd, calendar, messenger and on and on...and then it wants me to change my password, only won't accept it when I do.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the iCloud keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
Step 3
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
Step 4
Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
☞ Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
☞ Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
You can then close the folder.
Delete the login keychain from the keychain list in Keychain Access. Choose
           Delete References
when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Select
          File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
Run Keychain First Aid again. Quit Keychain Access.

My email on Mac 10.7.4 won't accept my password.

how can I send email messages if Mac 10.7.4 won't accept my password. It never asked until recently. Messages are delivered and are readable, but I can't send messages. I installed iCloud but I think that was after the email began misbehaving. Thank you for your help.

I checked the pondini fixes and ended up doing the following - in case this could help someone else with an iMac, OSX Lion, and Time Capsule... http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
First, I downloaded and used Airport Utility 5.6 instead of 6.1 - BTW, I had to attempt download and installation THREE times before the program actually installed. Be persistant.
Pondini #5: It's possible some names (of all things!) may be a problem. See item C9. I had to re-name my Mac, Time Capsule, network, etc... to remove all apostrophes and spaces.
Pondini #7: If you have WD SmartWare installed on Lion, it's not compatible, per RoaringApps, and there are reports it can cause this problem as well. Use Western Digital's uninstaller, or delete the app from /Applications and the files com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist and com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist from /Library/LaunchDaemons. There may also be a file in Library/Application Support.
I then had to shut down computer, unplug Time Capsule, unplug modem; plug everything in again, then reboot computer; then had to go to Apple- System Preferences- Network- and reselect my Time Capsule to connect to WiFi again.
Then opened Time Machine preferences again and attempted back up - it worked!

New MBP... won't accept CD-RW (high speed 24x)

Can anyone advise why my new MBP won't accept Memorex high speed CD-RWs... (24x) in fact, it's not the high speed issue bcuz I've tried a regular 4x CD-RW and it won't accept it either...
The error message is simply, your drive can not red this disk - then offers options to ignore or eject...
Any help is appreciated... Thanks in advance

Have you tried using other brands of CD-RW media besides Memorex? That would be a good first step to take if you haven't already done so.
Does the disc drive make any funny noises after you insert the disc or does it sound normal? If the drive sounds normal and reads every other type of media correctly, you may want to repair disk permissions and reboot, via the Disk Utility application. If that has no effect, reboot the computer and reset the SMC if you have to....its an easy process, as shown in this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
In addition, make sure that you have the latest version of the SMC and EFI firmware, directly available from the downloads page here on Apple's support site.
If nothing else works, you could try backing up your files and reinstalling OS X, but I would get on the phone with Apple Support first. Since your computer is new, it shouldn't cost you anything. 90 days of complimentary telephone support come with every new Macintosh.
Good Luck.
