Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Mac 101: Font Book
*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. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

Problems with Mac OSX 10.5.2 and installing my pro tools le 7.1.1

Problems with Mac OSX 10.5.2 and installing my pro tools le 7.1.1.

Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

Problem installing Mac OSX on my new MacBook hard drive...

Hi,
i am beside myself again...(i just visited my local Genius bar this afternoon). Any help would be most appreciated! :o)
i purchased a 2.5 inch SATA Fujitsu 120GB laptop hard drive for my new MacBook. Followed the awesome* instructions on "how to replace/upgrade hard drive", and took out the original Toshiba HD. What the instructions* failed to mention was that i would eventually need to use a Torx screwdriver (star-shaped) to remove the caddy/carriage from the Toshiba HD. Got that the next day and replaced the Toshiba 80GB with my new 120GB Fujitsu drive..., it slipped into place nicely but i did notice that the Toshiba had four short wires protruding out to the right of the contacts, which my new Fujitsu didn't have... hmmmm...?!
anyways, tried to install Mac OSX on the new drive, booted up with the install disc... went thru' chosing the language (English), agreed to the second step... but when it came time to install, there was NO icon at all in the box where i am asked where i want to install it!!!
so i go to disk utilities, and see that my Fujitsu HD is indeed recognized, but none of the buttons in first aid are active... so i can't check it.
i figured that had to do with the four little wires, so i replaced the original Toshiba and made a reservation with Genius Bar to ask for assistance.
this afternoon, i explained my problem and was told the four wires have NOTHING to do with it... Lawrence (the genius) told me to (actually, first he said Apple does not recommend my doing this... and that i should go to a 3rd party computer store such as Dino to get help!) go back to disk utilities and partition, then erase this drive and then i will see the icon for this drive in the install box.
Well i did everything i was told to do and... still, there is no icon for my Fujitsu HD! :o(
I was able to partition, after which there was a disc0 under the Fujitsu drive on the left side of the disk utilities. When i go to system profiler, and click on ATA... it too shows the Fujitsu drive... but i cannot install because there is NOTHING to click on at the installation step! the "continue" button is not active and only the "back" button is actively mocking me!!!
i know many of you have successfully upgraded your hard drive... what am i doing wrong? Would a different brand work better? I know Seagate is quite popular, and OWC sells a Western Digital version as well as a Hitachi... do those four little wires make a difference? Would the Seagate come with those wires???
i am going crazy... thanks, and sorry for the long post, just wanted to let you know what i've done!
blue skies,
ps. please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you think that would be better! :o)

Hi,
...after getting back from school, my MacBook was STILL in the process of verifying and "supposedly" repairing... since i was gone for over 10 hours, i finally assumed the drive was either defective or just incompatible, and quit disk utility.
...this morning i went out and bought a new Seagate 120GB SATA (they didn't have 160GB SATA drives, only 160GB ultra-ATA drives) 2.5 inch HD. This one DID have those four wires to the right of the contacts... (i don't know how important they are), and after changing and exchanging the Toshiba/Fujitsu HDs, it was a breeze putting in the new Seagate drive.
Erased > patritioned > and sure enough, the icon showed up and the biggest smile showed up on my face as i finished installing! :o)
I contacted the original seller of my fujitsu hd (it was a 2.5 inch, 120GB, serial ATA notebook drive) and he was kind enough to say "just pack it up and send it back for a refund!" (minus shipping and re-stocking fees of course! :o)
Just wanted to mention that, the fujitsu hd WAS recognized by disk-utility and at the bottom left of the window it said that the fujitsu was "GUID partitioned"..., so i am still scratching my head as to why it didn't work?!
I want to thank everyone that offered advice, it was helpful and i feel more comfortable with my MacBook after this trying and very frustrating episode! :o)

Linksys Connect CD/Downloadable Software compatibility problem with Mac OSX 10.4.11

I purchased a Linksys E1200 and I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. As I have a G4 eMac, I cannot run a higher operating software. The CD that came with the E1200 will not launch the Linksys Connect software, as it is not compatible with Mac OSX 10.4.11. When I download Linksys Connect software from the support section of the Linksys site (version 1 or 2), same problem. I have read that I can use the E1200 with Mac OSX 10.4.11, but how? Getting very frustrated and would appreciate any practical advice/help. Thanks!
Solved!

Hi bassist71,
You may actually do the setup manually. It's done by accessing the setup page of the route through 192.168.1.1 and configuring the settings according to your Internet connection type. If you have a Cable connection, you may check this link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=0ff4c94586a345d082828ec2161aaecf_3686.xml&pid=80&r...

Problem reinstalling Mac OSX 10.5

I am having a problem with reinstalling Mac OSX 10.5 after putting in the disc to do it everything was fine it asks what language I want and then it tells me that it can not be installed on this computer. I am trying to install it on a MacBook bought last year it is an intel machine and I have always kept up on the system updates. I don't want to take it in to a store more because I am stationed in Japan and getting it to a store requires more work than it is worth. If there is any advice on what to do I would greatly appreciate it.

You need the original grey system discs for each Mac model you own, not just to be able to reinstall the OS but also to reinstall the model's bundled retail application software (like iLife, if included) & to run the very model-specific Apple Hardware Test it contains if that is ever required.
The retail Leopard discs do not include either of these capabilities, so unless you are desperate to get Leopard reinstalled on the MacBook, you should try hard to find the original MacBook system discs. Failing that, you can contact AppleCare & request a replacement disc set. Generally speaking, Apple will ship one to you for a nominal replacement cost if you can show that you own that model by providing its serial number or other proof of purchase information.
Regarding installing Vista or Windows XP, both the retail Leopard & system discs include Boot Camp, which includes a convenient utility to format the hard disk for dual booting. While complicated, this can be done without that utility but you still need the hardware drivers the disc contains to get the full use of the Mac's hardware when running Windows. I have no idea if say an iMac's system discs have the Windows hardware drivers that also support a MacBook or if this too is model-specific, so on that you are on your own.

New Smart Album problems PSE9 Mac OSX

I am running PSE9 on a Macbook Pro and an Imac, both using Mac OSX. Creating a new Smart Album on the Macbook works perfectly but on the Imac it is unworkable. When I try to create a new Smart Album I just get a spinning ball and everything stops. I have uninstalled PSE9 and the Organizer and also removed all traces of them in the Library. Installing them again and making sure that I import only a dozen images into Organizer makes things slightly better. This time the spinning ball only lasted for a minute and then I could create a Smart Album. I then tried to create another Smart Album and had the spinning ball for a couple of minutes. Creating the third Smart Album was worse still. There is no problem with normal albums.
Has anybody got a way round this. I have about 9000 images, going back to 2001, and I want to put them into yearly albums so Smart Albums are a very useful tool.
A similar query by another member some time ago received no feedback.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have uninstalled pse9 and Organizer once again and removed all traces in "hard drive>library>application support>adobe". I have also removed the elements and organizer preferences and anything else I could see in my username/library. After doing all this I reinstalled PSE9 and Organizer and then searched for and installed the updates needed. I imported 12 images (jpg) into Organizer and then tried to create three smart albums. In each case I got the spinning ball for about 40 seconds before I could enter the smart album name.
I have just tried to add a fourth smart album and the spinning ball has remained for ten minutes - presumably it has crashed.
Help!

HP1536dnf Scan problem with Mac OSX 10.7.5

I have just installed the HP online download driver for my Mac computer (running Mac OSX 10.7) and the subject HP 1536dnf MFP; when attempting to operate the HP1536dnf Scan function from my MacBookPro; I get the following message:
192.168.0.6 is currently unavailable. Ensure your device is powered on, check the connection, and ensure your network is functioning properly. If these conditions are correct, restart the device and try scanning again. I have check the router and Mac configurations without resolving the problem.
My MacBook Pro is connected to a Motorola Wireless Cable Modem & Gigabit Router (model SGB6680) via wireless link and the HP1536dnf is connect via the Motorola Router Lan connection (192.168.0.6) .
NOTE: I am able to print to the HP1536dnf from the Mac, however I am not able to operate the Scan function wirhout getting the above stated message. This leads me to understand the Mac link to the router and the Lan to the HP1536dnf is operating correctly.
Please suggest items to check or a Fix for my problem. Thanks!

Hello Ray1536dnf,
Thanks for the post. WIth this one, scanning being a more complex process than printing we may have some other issue here. I might suggest taking a look at the below document specifically solution three, assigning a static IP. Good Luck!

Wifi have a problem on Mac OSX 10.9

Hi!
My Mac is a 2012 model and I am having a problem to ask is due to hardware or software errors. I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.1 and sometimes the wifi connection is lost completely. Turn Off I have wifi on my computer and turn it on its new wifi working again. Can you tell me what that error is due to hardware or OSX 10.9 or not and how to overcome? But when i run my computer on windows by bootcamp driver newest it not problem!
Thanks

Hi Imad
This may not be a Mavericks issue. We've had a small number of Mac users (including me) hit a lock up with 12.1.2 similar to what you've described on Mountain Lion and we've not been able to reproduce it consistently yet.
Can I get you to do me 4 things please?:
Launch JDeveloper from <jdev_home>/jdeveloper/jdev/jdev (this will open a terminal window to run JDev from)
a) Repeat the cause of the issue. Once JDev has locked up, without closing it down, in the terminal window that is running JDev type "Ctrl \". This will produce a full thread dump. Copy the complete contents to a file.
b) Via your Apple menu -> About this Mac -> More Info -> System Report option, select Print, then print/save the output to a PDF file. This will give us a complete dump of your machine's configuration.
*Please note that this will likely reveal information about you as an individual. It's my intention to place that output in the internal bug tracking this issue so the developers can check your Mac's configuration. If you're not comfortable with that, we can instead get you to lodge an SR with Oracle Support who have the requisite privacy policies in place. Your call*
c) Email both files to me at chris DOT muir AT oracle DOT com, or alternatively place them on DropBox or similar and just send me links.
d) Update this thread to say you've posted the content, which if it gets blocked by a firewall I'll know to chase this up.
Finally there is a work around which isn't ideal, simply don't open the pages in Design/Preview mode. Via Preferences -> File Types you can change the default behaviour when opening a file so it shows source code instead.
Thanks & regards,

Illustrator CS5 Instalation Problem on Mac OSX 10.5.8

I have tried instaling this software multiple times and am getting errors in the program that reinstalling doesn't seem to fix.
Here are the errors I'm getting:
When opening a new document, I get the error: "Can't locate the Startup Profiles. Please try after installing Illustrator again. Illustrator will now attempt to create a default document"
When quitting Illustrator, I get the error: "The Application Adobe Illustrator CS5 quit unexpectedly after it was relaunched. Mac OSX and other applications are not affected. Click relaunch to launch the application again. Click Report to see more details or to send a report to Apple"
I saved the report in case this is needed.
After browsing user forums, I attempted to reinstall using the following steps:
1) Before attempting any reinstallation, I deleted the folder drive/users/username/library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/
2) Unstalled Illustrator using the uninstaller package that comes with Illustrator.
3) Removed shortcut from menu
4) Reinstalled Software.
Please advise.
Thanks,

After downloading CS5 I ran into multiple permissions errors, this is no exception.
The following folder needs Read & Write access:
Macintosh HD:Users:(Your User Name):Library:Application Support:Adobe:Adobe Illustrator CS5
You can change this access by selecting "Get Info" on this folder, then adjust the Sharing & Permissions options so everyone can Read & Write.
NOTE: This addresses the startup profiles only; crashing on quit is a separate issue.
When you open up Illustrator this time and try to create a new document, Adobe magically creates a "en_US" folder within the Adobe Illustrator CS5 folder that couldn't be added before.

Problem with Mac OSX version of Microsoft RDP Client 8.0.10 (Build 25189) connecting to Linux host running XRDP

Hi,
I have an issue when using the Microsoft RDP client on Mac OSX 10.X when connecting to a Linux host running the XRDP service(XRDP host is authenticating to an AD DC).
Exactly the same connection parameters work when connecting to the XRDP host from a Windows server using the local Microsoft RDP Client and the same authentication credentials, so I am confused as to what might be creating the issue.
I have also checked that I am able to connect from my Mac to the remote linux box that is running the XRDP service, by using another App on OSX called CoRD. This also connects without issue.
Are there any differences in the way the Mac version of Microsoft RDP authenticates compared to its Windows counterpart?
Any advise appreciated. Happy to provide any logs.

Hi,
As this case has been quiet for a while.I need to close the case and will mark it as Answer. If you still have any issue,I suggest you ask in a new thread.
Thanks for your Support & understanding!

Java 7 (1.7.0_17) installation problem on Mac OSX

When I try to use the 1.7 installation in IntelliJ, it cant find classes.jar, and thus any of the java classes..
The compiler flags red all over the project.
I tried installing jdk-7u15-macosx-x64.dmg and I still get the same problem.
Any idea what could be going wrong? Im running a MacBook Air with Mac OS X 10.7.5
Thanks.

This got solved by upgrading my IntelliJ from 10.5 to 12.1 CE. It appears that Oracle may have made some changes to the Java 1.7 installable, which intelliJ 10.5 cant handle, but 12.1 seems to understand well. Unless there is more to it than meets the eye. If so, please do reply to this thread to explain more detail. Thanks.

HP Officejet Pro 8620 - set up problem with MAC OSX version 10.7.5

I have just bought a new Officejet Pro 8620 and all set up fine to a point. Problem is that when I try the HP Utility set-up and click on "Add Printer" and identify it as "Bonjour Malfunction" and select the printer from the pull down menu list, I receive the message:
"The software for this printer is currently unavailable, please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software".
I have already downloaded the latest software from theHP website - but stil no resolution.
Any help please would be gratefully received.

Hello @Kennynic!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I would be happy to provide some help regarding your Officejet 8620 and installing the software on the Mac. The first thing I suggest is to ensure all the HP Software is removed from the Mac. I suggest uninstalling the HP Software. After the software is uninstalled I recommend performing a "repair disk permissions" on your Mac. A repair disk permissions is a utility built in the Mac operating system designed to locate and resolve issues or errors that may cause complications when re-installing. After the repair disk permission is complete restart your Mac and try adding the printer again.
To uninstall the HP Software click here: Uninstalling HP Software
To perform a repair disk permission click here: Performing a Repair Disk Permission
There is only software available for Mac 10.10. Unfortunately there is no full feature software and driver available for Mac 10.7. You should still be able to add the printer using the AirPrint drivers. Go into System Preferences from the Apple icon and click on printer and scanner. In the printer and scanner window click the add printer icon and you should be able to add the 8600 printer via Wi-Fi and AirPrint.
I recommend checking for software updates on the Mac. To check for software updates click the "apple" icon at the to left and click on "software update". Install any HP or printer updates. After any updates you should restart the computer. and try printing.
Please post back and let me know how everything goes!

Problem installing Mac OSX 10.5 on new HDDc

Hello, I needed to replace my HDD and I'm trying to install Leopard on my new blank HDD. I have the install disk that came with my macbook, but it's not working. I insert the install disc and restart the macbook holding down the C key. It starts from the CD. So I choose the language and it gives me message "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. This software annot be installed on this computer" with two options OK, that does nothing, and Restart. My old HDD was the original one, that came with the mac and is broken. The new one is a Samsung SATA 320gb model HM320II/SRA. Reading about the problem in the Apple Support website I found something about updating the firmware, but I'm not sure if it applies to me.
Thanks so much for the help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your 10.5 must look like * unless it was prebundled with your Mac, when you bought it from an Authorized Apple Dealer. You can't use a 10.5 disc that came with another Mac.
Also your machine must be older than the 10.5 disc if it has the image pictured above.
Once you make sure you have the correct disc, be sure to format your new hard disk GUID with the Utilities menu -> Disk Utility -> Partition -> Options button in the installer program. The default format won't allow installation of Mac operating systems.
