  • PhotoShop compatibility w/Mtn Lion - need input please  =)

    PhotoShop compatibilityQuestion for you lovely peeps:  I'm upgrading to the newest MacBook Pro this week and wondered what the Earliest version of PhotoShop is compatible w/Mtn Lion? I'm no longer a gr.designer by trade, and don't need "all" the bells/whistles but Love PS and being an artist !! =)  Just didn't think I needed to drop $700 on the latest greatest when I don't use it like I used to in that business. My current laptop is an older MacBook running an old OS obviously and it's time to upgrade all my favorite software.  Thank you much!

    You will need to contact Office for Mac Support  and/or post in their forums since Photoshop their product.

  • Need to get disk out of computer

    Hi all,
    Well my old intel 17" iMac is not working. I was having a slow down etc. and I decided to run DW 4.1.1 it came back with a slew of repairs but noted a disk problem and would not replace directory. I restarted to try another routine, but computer will not get beyond grey spinning wheel. It just quits. Is there a way to eject disk? I've tried holding eject key etc. I reset pram, sms etc. I want to run apple hardware disk but I need to get DW disk out.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    BTW, only last week I did a complete erase and install from my MBP, using migration assistant. I'm not sure if it's related.

    From the information I've gathered here over the years, it's been mentioned quite often that Macs ship with machine specific install disks, so if you installed your MBP's OS version onto to your iMac, it could possibly have something to do with the problems you're experiencing.
    I've always had a problem with the DW DVD not wanting to eject, so I solved the problem by installing it on my external bootable clone. When I want to run DW on my internal, I boot from the external, open DW, and run it from there. So, if you have a bootable clone, boot from it, use Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair disk and see if you can't eject DW. If that doesn't work, use Disk Utility to erase your internal hard drive and start over (install from original install disks) - somewhere during all that you will hopefully be able to eject the disk.

  • I have music on my iPod that I didn't purchase through Itunes, I need to get it onto my computer, but I don't know how.

    I have a ton of music on my iPod, I need to transfer it all to my computer, Itunes if possible, but I can't figure it out. I can't use transfer purchases, because it isn't music I bought from the store. The music is from a computer I no longer have access to. Please help!

    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities

  • Computer died, need to get sync on different computer

    my piece of crap laptop finally died and it had all my music on it. The other computers we have both are synced with other ipods. How do I get my music on another itunes without giving an ipod their music, getting theirs, or completly erasing my own?

    1). Create a Windows user account for yourself on another computer, this will give you a new blank iTunes library of your own to work from. Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Need help getting music onto new computer.

    I was curious if anyone knows how to get music from my 60 GB 5th Gen iPod onto my new computer. My old computer crashed, so all that I have is my music on my iPod, and I need to find a way to get my music onto my new PC. I figured I could just plug it into my new computer and that i'd be good to go, but apparently I was wrong. I've researched it a bit and all that I can find is confusing software that is going to cost me more money. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    For more on the new function in iTunes 7 look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • Computer crashed!!! need help getting music to new computer!

    My computer crashed. I bought a new one with Vista and now I am having problems transferring my music to my new computer. my problem is i had the ipod set to automatically update. Any suggestions on how to get around this.

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • I need to get back to my computer the photos from my iPod

    Hi Guys! I hope you can help me out. Last week my computer broke down and almost all my pictures got lost. Hopefully I had a back up of most of these pictures but not for all of them. I have all the photos in my iPod but I don't know how to get back these photos to my computer. The format of these photos in the iPod is not as for instance .JPEG so I am unable to view these photos in my computer. Is very important to get back these photos to me but I only have them in the iPod. I will appreciate a lot if someone can help me.
    Thanks!!

  • I need help getting pictures on my computer!

    My camera  is FinePix Z20 and I have Adobe: Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 on my computer. I put the pictues from my camera onto the Adobe photoshop album. Then the pictures were deleted off my camera. I tried to move the pictures from the Adobe Photoshop into a folder on my computer but it says "Cannot copy file: Cannot read from the source file or disk" Now all my pictures I just uploaded have a red square cut down the middle in the corner. I dont know what to do to get my pictures! Please help.

    It sounds like you may have opened the files into Photoshop without ever copying them to your local hard drive.  With the red X, it sounds like the link to the file is broken, probably because the camera is no longer attached to the computer.
    Try reattaching the camera and open My Computer.  Look for a hard drive indicator E: or some other letter that represents the memory card.  Open the memory card from within Windows explorer and find the files.  They may be in a directory like DCM1000 or some other name.  Find the .jpg or .raw filles and manually copy them to a directory on your compuer.  From there, open them in Photoshop.
    If you accepted the default install, you should have had a helper program load that would automate the task above.

  • Wish I had not "upgraded" to Mtn Lion

    Wish I hadn't bought Mtn Lion.  Many changes, less user-friendly, lost use of Photo Shop Elements, AppleWorks, many more minor compaints. Have been a consistent and devout Apple/Mac user since 1985.  Never felt this lack of confidence in an Apple product.  No questions - just venting - but I still don't feel any better.

    Yes, I did just upgrade.  And yes, I'm a bit of a retrograde.  I have never bought a new anything until the old one was worn out, otherwise useless, or the new one was so much improved that it didn't make sense to NOT buy it.  Staying with Snow Leopard along with the other old app versions you mention all qualify: They worked fine for my simple needs - UNTIL an Apple pro convinced me:  "You've GOT to get Mtn Lion - it's great!", etc.  I am sorry I did.  Snow Leopard and the other apps "weren't broken", as they say, but I drank the KoolAid.  I "tried to fix 'em".
    After I wallow a bit more, I'll return to my Apple Store and learn about all the slick and wonderful new Mtn Lion things that I don't use or need, then probably join all the lemmings lined up to do the same with Maverick. Planned obsolescence obviously refers to more than what sits in my driveway.

  • Why does App Store show i haven't bought mountain lion???

    I've bought the OX X Mountain Lion and truly installed. But I enter the App Store again. I see the price tagged on the Mountain Lion software which means I haven't bought yet? At the same time, I check the Purchased page on App Store. I can't find any purchasing record either. Anything else I bought is showed up. Why??? Please help me to solve it. Thanks a lot : )

    Same thing has happened to me. I purchased and installed Mtn Lion (on this MacBook Pro). I even installed it on my home Mac mini. However, when I went to the App Store, it was not listed it in my Purchases list, and it has a purchase price button on the Mtn Lion app page. I restarted the computer(s), signed out & back in w/ correct Apple ID, trashed preferences, asked it to check for unfinished downloads, tried on other computers (one w/ Mtn Lion, one w/ Lion installed)...nothing worked so far.
    Then I stumbled on the answer...
    Go to the top Menu bar > Store and click on View My Account (accountname), then enter you password. In the following dialog window, you should see listed Hidden Purchases under the iTunes in the Cloud section. Click on the View Hidden Purchases and the next screen should show Mountain Lion as hidden...simple click Unhide. It should now show in your Purchases list as well as offer Download button on Mtn Lion info page.

  • I bought my macbook pro in march 2007.  I am currently running osx 10.6.8, but want to upgrade to lion or mtn lion.  Apple website says i need a mid 2007 or later macbook pro, how do I tell if my Macbook pro will support this upgrade?

    The Mid-2007 model didn't come out until June 2007, so you must have bought an earlier model. It won't run Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x), but it might run Lion (10.7.x) if you can get hold of a copy, depending on which earlier model it is.
    Lion requires at least a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The first MacBook Pros came out in January 2006, but they had "Core Duo" processors (no "2"). The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros came out in October 2006. You could have bought either in March 2007.

  • I bought mountain lion for my macbook pro and I'm trying to install it and it says there was an error and I need to boot up but I don't have any other start up disks to boot up with. Are there any suggestions of how I could get my computer started?

  • HT1338 I bought my macbook pro november 2011 and I still cannot use my toshiba external hard drive.  what updates do i need to get?

    I don't know my operating system.  I bought it in nov of 2011.  I am trying to axcess a toshiba external hard drive.  what new update do I need to get?

    You can find out your current system version by select About This Mac from the Apple menu.  To make sure it is updated, select Software Update from the Apple menu.  A Mac from Nov. 2011 is probably running "Lion," and the latest version of Lion is Mac OS X 10.7.4.
    But that should not affect the connection of an external hard drive.  There are no special updates for connecting standard external drives.
    Does the external Toshiba drive connect by USB port?  Is it the smaller type that gets power from the port (no conection except for the one cable), or is it larger (with its own power supply)?
