Can't Safe Boot or Single User Boot with the new (wired) Apple Keyboard

I have found that my shiny new Apple keyboard does not recognize the shift key or command-s when booting, making it impossible to boot into either safe mode or single user mode.

I'm having the same issues here.
Read on Macfixit about incompatibilities with the Core Duo machines (I'm running a 1.66ghz Core Duo MacMini, 10.4.10) and can't startup using safe mode or single-user. Not sure if this has been addressed yet?

Can't Safe Boot with 10.6.2 and GTX 285

Can't safe boot with 10.6.2 and NVIDIA GTX 285 (2009 Mac Pro).
What the heck am I supposed to do, take out the graphics card every time I want to safe boot?!
Suggestions please!

No, I think what it is, is that the GTX 285 drivers somehow are being treated as 3rd party extensions not to be loaded on a safe boot, but the problem is that without those drivers, even if I switch my monitor over to my GT 120 card, it still won't boot. Ugh.
I am considering reinstalling 10.6 over on top of my current system, then putting the 10.6.2 on top of that. If I do this, do I risk losing any preferences or having to reinstall any 3rd-party software? At this point, I'll happily reinstall whatever it takes... I just didn't want to have to do a clean system where I have to track down every single bookmark file and saved preference for my main apps, but it could be this is now starting to take more time than it simply would have to do that from the get-go. Sigh.

I urgently need to know how I can connect 8 thunderbolt display, I was thinking with the new mac pro will come out, but I wonder if it is possible to connect an iMac to 4GB of graphics card, but suffers from the imac. thanks

I tightened all HD screws and it didn't help. With the machine running and side of the case off, I physically stopped both the video card fan and the front case fan with my finger for a couple seconds and the noise continued. I also took all hard drives out one by one and rebooted each time. Again, the noise continued until I took out the Mac HD in Bay 1, rebooted, and I had a very quiet, silent machine. The issue is the hard drive in bay 1 that shipped with the computer, it's without a doubt causing the hum/woosh sound. I still need to know if I can safely swap the Mac HD from bay 1 to bay 4 without any issues to the operating system. I would like to try that to see if it dampens the noise but I also want to make sure this swap won't screw up my machine at all.

Can I still make a playlist of podcasts with the new podcast app?

Can I still make a playlist of podcasts with the new podcast app?

No, for some reason it's not included as one of the features of the Podcast App.
If you need playlists (as many of us do), then delete the Podcast App and podcasts will return to the music app, complete with podcast playlist functionality.

I need to connect a Micro SD Card to my MacBook (10.6.8) 2011 so I can switch my Magellan RoadMate GPS for use with the new Mac Content Manager from Magellan. Can I do this? from

Hi Robert and welcome to Apple Discussions,
There are adapters available that convert micro cards into fullsize ones.
You will also need a USB card reader if you do not have one.
Good luck,
Alan

If I have a Photography plan, can I also select an Single App plan with the same account?

So can I have at the same time two plans?
I don't need for every apps, only Photoshop and Illustrator.

Hi Barpaff,
Yes, you can add illustrator with the same account. So, you will be having two applications. 1) Creative Cloud Photography Plan and 2) Creative Cloud Illustrator single app.
You can add as many as single application in the same account but application should be different.
Let us know if you need more information on this.
Thanks,

How can I connect my iphone to my computer with the new upgrades? My mac (old) cannot support the new itunes and my phone can't connect to it.

I have a macbook that I purchased in 2007 with operating system Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. I recently did the new software upgrade on my iPhone and now my iPhone and my computer cannot connect. I tried downloading the newest iTunes but it is not supported by my software. What can I do now? (Other than buy a new computer).

Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

Can i use ANY external CD/DVD drive with the NEW mac mini?

We just got the newest Mac Mini and want to get an external drive for importing and burning CD's and DVD's.
Can we use ANY external CD/DVD drive or do we NEED to use the "Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive."
Thanks
Eliot

Maybe.
I've had some situations where a non-Apple DVD drive would not do a particular job. When I tried the same project with the Apple SuperDrive everything worked perfectly.
This is an area where I would not try to save money.

Can no longer use Transfer to SD card with the new firmware update 23.0.1.A.3.12

I just got the latest update for my Z2. My device now has a firmware 23.0.1.A.3.12.
I encountered a problem. I can no longer transfer photos to SD card thru the Transfer to SD Card under Storage.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@Thommo. Oh hi, no. This is just a theme I installed to change the buttons recently. The problem was there before I did this change. As proof, here it is again after removing the theme and applying the default theme of Xperia.
Regarding the SD card write capability permissions, I do not know how to do that really. Can you please show me?
Also, all I did this morning was update the firmware my Z2 based on the email I got from Sony Support and an alert from the Update Centre. I used the PC companion which also alerted to be updated before the download of the firmware began, which I did too. After the successful update, the phone restarted and used it normally.
Then until the notif told me that my storage is more than 75% full, and prompted to transfer files, which I do all the time by the way, but this time, this error occured.

Why can't I copy and paste album artwork with the new iTunes?

I updated to the new 10.5.1.(42) iTunes. Now I can't add album artwork like I always have. I open the artwork window in the lower left corner to access artwork. I used to be able to right click/copy and right click/paste. Now I can't. This is a backwards step. I'm getting fed up with Apple making changes for the worse.
I can add artwork with many more steps but the method I mentioned above is(was) the quickest and easiest.
Quit making changes just to make a change, Apple!
And, yes, I submotted feedback to Apple through the link in iTunes.

I went through updates on my three newest Macs this week. As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42). I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available. I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
15 minutes later:
I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out. I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed. I'm happy again.

I can't update my macbook 10.5.8 with the new ver of ical

I have the new versión of ical, but my macbook has OS x 10.5.8
How can I update my OS or how can I return to the old version of ical?
I want to sycing my macbook and iphone.

What version have you got? the latest is 4.0.4 (with Snow Leopard) but it's part of the system and can't normally be upgraded individually. If you managed to upgrade it beyond that supplied wit h10.5.8 how did you manage it? - and is it working? I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't.
You will probably have to reinstall your system from the original install disks, then applying any updates. Alternatively you can upgrade to Snow Leopard if your Mac supports it - it's only $29 and well worth doing. the requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
If you have 10.5.8 with the correct version of iCal you can sync your calendars with MobileMe (see this page for an additional process required for Leopard) and your contacts, bookmarks etc. from System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync.

The font in my hotmail inbox is so small I can hardly see it. This just happened with the newer version of Firefox. The font in internet explorer is fine. Can you help me enlarge it?

I have looked in the Options tab for an answer, but there is no way now to enlarge the font. Changing an individual email that I am typing isn't a problem, I know how to do that. but my inbox emails are in about size 5 font. Any suggestions?

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/

How can I get my Firefox persona to work with the new version of Firefox?

Everything was working fine, then my computer automatically updated Firefox and my persona background disappeared. It's listed as enabled on the add-ons backgrounds under add-ons manager. I have Foxkeh tail wag. I went and reinstalled it but it still doesn't come on. I went to the firefox personas page and tried to install a different persona. NONE of them work now. How can I get my persona background back?

Fixed! Thank you!

Can you watched rented movies on an airplane with the NEW iPad ?

Have some traveloing coming up and wondering this-

have11 wrote:
do I download the rented movie to the Mac Book Pro, then synch and with Ipad and move it over then?
You can do it that way if you wish, though here's a separate process for moving a rental; it's not just done by synching. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
Or you can rent it directly from your iPad. Note that if you rent from your iPad, you cannot then move the movie to any other device, though that may not be an issue for you.
Regards.
