Can't find OSX
Hi,
I am so confused. My problems all statred when I updated OSX 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 via Software Updater on my eMac. Both times (after 2 hours) it never loaded saying error while updating. I shut down the eMac, it would not open again freezing on the start grey apple page. An Apple Mac technician then rebooted and reloaded OSX 10.4 successfully and he then updated to 10.14.10 sucessfully. All was good until I opened my eMac the next day, had to some missing software, all good, checked my emails, all good, shut down and since opening again, the Mac has reverted to OS 9.2 which is not even it's orginal OS system.
I could not use 'Find or Sherlock' with OS 9 to find OSX or where it had magically disappeared to, so I have reinstalled OSX 10.2 from the original CDs that came with my eMac and now it's frozen at a new window asking me for my security password. I do not have a password and when I leave it blank and click 'Log in', the screen shakes and after 3 trys it tells me I have had 3 trys unsucessfully and tells me the hint - 'There is no password' but I never get past this window - has anyone had anything similar?

Start up using Mac OS X rather than Mac OS 9 (if both are on the same volume)

Where can i find osx lion software
i cant find osx lion in the app store , only mountain lion which is not compatible with my imac
As you've noted, Lion is no longer available to download on the App Store, but you can phone Apple Store Sales and buy it. I believe they will issue you with a code that you can redeem online and then be able to download Lion.

Where can i find osx lion 10.7
where can i find os x lion 10.7
If your computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) processor, phone the online Apple Store, order a download code for it, and supply that code to the Mac App Store.

Can't find osx mavericks in app store
i don;t want to get the new one beacuse of bugs so i want to use osx mver
Sorry, but Mavericks is not currently available for download now that Yosemite has been released.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
Identifier 5,1 or later.
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

Windows can't find OSX partition
Windows, both under Boot Camp, and Parallels 6, used to be able to recognize the partition on which OSX is installed. It stopped recognizing it and I don't know why or how to fix it. My version of OSX is Snow Leopard; version of Windows is Vista Home Premium (32 bit). I have been thinking of upgrading to OSX Lion. Would that fix the problem? I am also thinking of upgrading to Parallels 7, but doubt that it would fix the problem since Windows does not recognized OSX partition even in Boot Camp.
I don't know if it's the same, but I removed a lot of devices in Device Manager (for example the and they get automatically reinstalled)
For example I uninstalled "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" and "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator" under Bluetooth Radios and all devices under Human Interface Devices. To the point that no mouses or keyboards worked and I had to plug-in a wired USB mouse to go on...
When I say that I lost the bluetooth connectivity, I mean only my BT mouse (a MS Sculpt Touch mouse I bought yesterday. My Apple Wireless Keyboard works.
But my mouse dissapeared after reinstalling the bootcamp software and I can't for the life of me reinstall it again. It gets discovered but it gets an authentication error before pairing. Alternatively, I can right-click on the discovered mouse and check the HID BT services and when I OK it starts installing to dissapear after getting "succesfully installed drivers" -

I need to firewire sync.. how?
No no... I fixed it now. I was trying to get the old data from the old comp to the new one... It worked on the fifth try.

Remote printer is recognized but message says can't find printer? It worked great before installing OSX Maverick?
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately I have already rebooted the router and that did not fix the problem. The weird thing is that the computer is connected to the network, it just won't connect to my computer. I have printed the network configuration page to confirm this, and it says the wireless signal is strong.
I have not changed anything at all recently in terms of routers, networks, etc. The printer stopped working completely randomly.
Is there a part in the printer that like emits a signal which computers, phones, etc are supposed to detect? I don't know enough about the mechanics to really theorize about what is wrong, but it seems like that is the only thing that stopped working.
Do you have any other suggestions? -
Yes, my PowerBook G4 is still trucking along. It is running OSX 10.4.11, but I just bought a new iMac that is running Mountain Lion. I just tried to use Migration Assistant. It told me to update Migration Assistant on the G4, but I can't find an update for anything earlier than 10.5. Is there a way to get my files transfered, or am I going to need to update the OS on my computer I was getting ready to retire?
Thanks!You never know, someone might remember. What happens in detail when you try to use it, and HOW are you trying to use it?

Indesign CS 5.5 can't find fonts (..from User Folder, OSX 10.6.8)
Hello there,
Indesign CS5 can't find any font that is located in my User folder. (MacintoshHD > User > library > fonts).
The problem is only in OSX 10.6.x and CS 5.
Also installed CS3 has no problems to find the already installed fonts.
And on a second Hardrive I've also System 10.5.x. INDESIGN both Versions have no problems to find the fonts in that system.
Only the Combination from CS5 and OSX 10.6.x has that problem.
Some Tricks already posted here, for example to put the missing fonts in the main structure (MacintoshHD > library > fonts) works,
also if creating a special »Document Fonts« file in the same folder, whre the problem documents are located.
BUT: This is all just a temporary solution. It doesn't solve the main problem.
Maybe it's, because the 10.6.x ist a upgrade from a 10.5.x TimeMashine Backup with the CreativeSuite already installed.
So maybe I should install all the CS5 stuff new?
Or is it a problem with the Login Structure? I'm the only person working on my machine. So I'm logged with full Name and as »admin«.
My User-Folder with my special preferences and fonts is named with another name (my nickname).
I'm not such a Computerfreak…and don't know if that does means anything. No problems at all with that since years.
Thanks for any good idea

Message was edited by: camino07 Hi, Now, I've uninstalled CS5, delete fontcaches, restart computer an install CS5 complete again.
But it's still the same. CS5 can't find the fonts. One special thing I have to add: One font, placed in the »Users > fontfolder, it finds the »regular « font style but not the »bold«.
It's an »TT« font suitcase. (EngraversOldEnglish).
Any ideas?Hi,
I added here my spotlight results. Shell I really delete all the stuff?
Seems, that are different sources, like fonts and some other stuff…
thanks

How can I set up a standard account to auto disconnect from the wireless network upon logging out (Using Mavericks)? There used to be a setting for this in previous versions of OSX but I can't find it in the new version.

Guys, a have one big problem..My customer brought me a macbook with windows 7 installed to do a format and reinstallation, but she is no longer the OSX Lion, and do not know how to install the sound drivers, "touchpad", among other drivers, how to solve this? Where can I find the drivers? The MacBook is now with Windows 8 installed.
Sorry my bad english..
See is meant. The MacBook has already come for me with Windows 7 installed, checked that it does not have another partition with OSX Lion installed, do not know how the person who did the maintenance before I managed to remove the partition with the Lion, so I can not create a disk or access boot camp because there is no partition Lion and don't own the DVDs of OSX Lion, you understand me?
There is a boot camp Windows executable? Where do I find, since I poked around and found nothing on ...
The sound driver is installed, but not working ... and the rest are missing there also, the trackpad also does not work correctly, the right button does not work ... My experience with mac is low, it may be that you do not know how it works correctly the trackpad -
Have iMac running OSX 10.5.8, where can I find the upgrade?
have iMac running OSX 10.5.8, where can I find the upgrade?
Why would that be irritating?? I suspect you are after Mavericks, in order to get Mavericks you have to have the Mac App Store app which did not become available until Snow Loepard 10.6.6. Once you have purchased and installed SL then install the 10.6.8 combo update, run Software Update again and install all suggested updates and finally you can get Mavericks.

I just installed Lion OSX. Where can one find the "domain" for iWeb?
With Snow Leopard one could find the "domain" for one's iWeb in Admin+Library+application support+iWeb. When one changed computers, one simply had to save this domain and then put it in the right place in the new computer. Things have changed with Lion OSX - and I can't find the "domain" for my web site.
Anyone know where to look (Scripts?)
Thanks,
T...The reason Apple has hidden the User/Library folder is that there is not longer any reason to get into it what with iWeb (and iDVD) being discontinued and no longer supported.
We now know iWeb, and iDVD, have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
If a site is published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client to an ftp server subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed will be broken. If published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
The iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
This may be of some interest to you: Life After MobileMe.

Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?
No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use.
