Authentication window not populating when attempting to move a file
When attempting to move a file that will need administrator authentication, the authentication window to enter a password does not populate. Thus, I am unable to move the file.
Linc,
I didnt get back with you this week as we've discovered a number of other "interesting" issues with the iMac. They all seem to (possibly) be related to privilege issues: 1. Cannot move photos to ~Library/Desktop Pictures, 2. Cannot access System Preferences/Security&Privacy (click on the lock to make a change and the User Name and Password "Unlock" window will not appear.) 3. When attempting to install the MS Office For Mac update, the installer will not respond. 4. Cannot boot from an external drive. The computer wants to reinstall the OS X Yosemite when attempting to boot from an external drive.

My friend list is not populating when attempting to share a track with people.
Like the Subject says, I cannot get my friend list to populate with people I am friends with through Spotify. I cannot share a track with anyone while on my iPhone. I have to get on my PC and share stuff from there. I have logged in and out. I have deleted the app, redownloaded, and still nothing. I have also made sure my settings aren't set to anything weird. Disconnected my Facebook and everything. I don't know what else I can do.

I lost all of my contacts and notes when attempting to move over music. When I try to restore the backup the day I want to restore to is not present. I do see a copy on my I cloud but I can't seem to retrieve it. What can I do?
Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

1st. Gen iPad question: the touch keyboard does not appear when attempting to input data into data fields - this happens while using all apps, ex. Notes, Google, Pages, etc.. The cursor prompt is present. Tapping screen just brings up the option to: "Select Select All Paste." I have rebbooted with no change.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?
Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files. -
I'm trying to extract audio files from my OLYMPUS Digital Voice Recorder VN-6200PC
I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document “VN622195.WMA” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.
Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Using PSE on Mac. When attempting to Edit a file system advises that requires Premiere Elements. Help!!!
Hi Cody
Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
It should be very uncommon for Pages to crash. I've been using it for years on a daily basis and it's only happened to me once except when I was trying to replicate a bug for someone.
Your experience might be a symptom of an underlying problem with your system. I recommend that you back all your stuff up now.
Whilst trying to isolate the issue, I recommend that you manually create frequent backups of your documents using the Finder after a successful save until you can trust it.
Next, use disk utility to do a repair permissions on your hard drive.
Also, after quitting Pages, try trashing your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWorks.Pages.plist file (back it up first if you want) and restarting Pages.
If this doesn't work, there are loads of troubleshooting tips here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html. I also recommend that you read the tips on system maintenance.
In case you didn't already know this, Pages files are actually packages. Control-click on the icon and select Show Package Contents to see what's inside. You may be able to recover some text from the files in there. I don't believe there are any repair utilities. Nor is the file format available.
I hope this helps you. -
I am not able to convert movies, keep getting this message The document “The Walking Dead Trailer - YouTube-2.mp4” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. not sure why, anybody know
Sounds like someone ripped the movie off of YouTube and it got corrupted in the process. Try getting the movie file again, or try using an alternative movie player such as VLC: http://www.videolan.org
