Cannot change the nickname/label in my .mac profile

Mountain Lion completely hosed my 2 year old MacBook Pro. Slow -- beachballs all the time. SNL was great, oh why did I have to be an idiot and upgrade to the Vista of Apple.
I have a full DD of the old SNL, but in storage 100 miles away. Still worth restoring so I can use my MacBook as a working door stop. Been a fan since Mac IIci. Game over. There are no good operating systems out there, except for my $20 toaster. If it screws up I take it back and get a new one.
Sick of the release of garbage software that I would have gotten fired for 20 years ago. M$ was the worst offender -- now Apple? Should have known when they took "Computers" out of the name that they were going to just become a toy store: ipad, ipod, icrack.
C'est la Vi
"C'est la Vie" is a comic strip by Jennifer Babcock. It is syndicated on the web by Universal Press Syndicate.
Before it was picked up for syndication, C'est la Vie premiered in UCLA's Daily Bruin. It was also self-published by the artist on the web.
The primary character of the comic is Mona Montrois, a chain-smoking Parisianne living in Los Angeles. Her sidekick is Monsieur Smokey, a lewd, chauvinistic stuffed bunny.

Rene44,
Welcome to Discussions,
A few months ago, I replaced the superdrive in my Mac by a modern DL one.
Same problem: iTunes, iDVD and iMovie didn't recognize it.
After running PatchBurn (www.patchburn.de) the problem was solved.
This application installs a new profile/driver when your burner is recognized.
Download and run the appropriate version for your version of OS X.
Hope this helps.

  • I bought an Air from someone and I cannot change the Apple ID in the apple store for the updates... even I am logged in for Itunes... PLEASE help..

    Hi guys, finally I made it to the apple family by buying an Air from a guy I knew... But I cannot change the ID in the apple store for updates... I managed to change it in Itunes, but when I want to download the updates it would tell me that I should log in with the other account...
    Please advise...
    Thank you!!!

    The OS and the preinstalled iLife apps are permanently assigned to the Apple ID of the original owner. You need to ask the original owner to call Apple Care and request that the Mac be released from his Apple ID.
    The only secure way to use a second hand Mac is to erase the HDD and install a fresh version of OS X.
    The only version of OS X that the original owner can pass to you is the version of OS X that came preinstalled on the Mac. The original owner cannot legally pass to you any apps that he bought in the MAS.

  • Where is my text box in final cut pro? I cannot change the default text at all?

    Hi, as the title says, I use a default final cut pro title or ending for a video and I cannot change the text, all youtube tutorials just show that you click on the text box, the boxes appear, and then to the right in the text window you literally just type and change it, which ive done several times before, but I just got a new mac, and now that is impossible to do, what can I do? I dont want to upload videos that say, TEXT GOES HERE

    hey andy,
    i think what you're gonna have to do is just hit command 4!
    That should bring up the inspector where you can change the font!

  • Big Permissions Problem: "You Cannot Change The Contents Of This Folder"

    I installed Tiger some time ago (and need to upgrade now from 10.4.6 to 10.4.9).
    I haven't used it much since some of my software will only run under Panther.
    In any case, I'm using it now and have been having big permissions/user accounts problems.
    I have two users on the computer "robert" and "ra", both with admin privileges (I set up two because I was trying to get around these problems -- I'd be very happy with just one).
    I have 10.4.6 installed on an external HD and boot from that into Tiger (I have Tiger on another external HD as a backup, and my main HD in the iMac has 10.3.9 -- that's what I boot from when I need to run older programs).
    In any case, both "robert" and "ra" have ADMIN privileges. But I get weird ownership problems. For instance, if I am logged in as "ra" and try to play a Realplayer file streaming from the web (in Firefox 1.x), I get the error
    /Users/robert/Desktop/307e6wz7 could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.
    I check the ownership of the "Desktop" folder -- read/write for "ra".
    If I right-click I can save the Realplayer file to the desktop.
    Same with other links.
    I've also noticed other ownership problems (blocked folders at finder level) but can't duplicate tonight. Is this an obscure error, or is there something amiss in ownership recognition? Is there some way I can sort all out? Login in as "root" and set all right?
    Thanks

    Yes they do. When you installed them you dragged these particular apps to the Applications folder. Doing so automatically attributes the program with the ownership attributes of the account owner who installed them - 'robert.'
    Proper application installers install apps under the system/admin ownership. You can try to fix these apps by changing their permissions:
    Select the app and CTRL-click to open the contextual menu. Choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Select the Contents folder and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Ownership and Permissions section click on the tiny arrow icon to expose the panel. Click on the little lock icon to authenticate. Change permissions as follows:
    Owner = system with Read/Write privileges
    Group = admin with Read/Write privileges
    Other with Read-Only privileges
    Click on the Apply To Enclosed Items button. Close the lock by clicking again on the lock icon.

  • Hi i cannot change the brightness on my late 2011 macbook pro.

    Hi i cannot change the brightness on my late 2011 macbook pro. It is stuck on the lowest level in which i can't view the screen without a flash light. Please i need help how to solve this. I was on my computer when i checked the back which it was really dusty, i tried unscrewing the bottom however some screws were too tight so i took it upon myself and got a rod and startedremoving the dust off the vents and i may have clicked something as i closed the lid on the macbook i could hear the sounds still from the film but the lid was closed as i opened it back up the brightness was on low but sounds were still playing. All the buttons work , all of the F keys, apart from the brightnes keys. I can shine a tourch on the screen and see the display but the brightness will not change but i can see when i click the brightness it says it changes. I have connected it to a spare tv i have via hdmi and i really need help as this is my primary computer and i need it for work when going away. Thank you

    Comment on usual method and solution, by a forum Moderator.
    As long as there are no confounding factors, such as certain extensions, or a user.jsfile the procedure is as follows
    # Open a new tab and type "about:config" in the address bar.
    # In the Search bar type: "newtab"
    # Locate and double click "browser.newtab.url"
    # In the "Enter String Value" box change "'''about:newtab'''" to "'''about:blank'''" and click OK.
    # Verify that the value has changed and now all new tabs will be blank.

    Have to say that I rather agree with Mark..all we want is a simple, unadorned clean page that doe not track and show usage!! WHY NOT!! Is it too simple for developers..we aren't all (nor do we want to be!) software experts! Come on Mozilla..tidy up and clean up..it might be a quicker programme too!!

  • How can i  change the column label text in a alv table display

    how can i change the column label text in a alv table display??
    A similar kinda of question was posted previuosly where the requirement was the label text was needed and following below code was given as solution :
    <i>*  declare column, settings, header object
    DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
    DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
    DATA: lr_column_header type ref to CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER.
    get column by specifying column name.
    lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME1' ).
    set Header Text as null
    lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
    lr_column_header->set_text( ' ' ).</i>
    My specific requirement is i have an input field on the screen and i want reflect that value as the column label for one of the column in the alv table. I have used he above code with slight modification in the MODIFYVIEW method of the view since it is a process after input. The component gets activated without any errors but while run time i get an error stating
    <i>"The following error text was processed in the system CDV : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible."</i>
    i have checked in debugging and the error occured at the statement :
    <i>lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'CURRENT_YEAR' ).</i>Please can you provide me an alternative for my requirement or correct me if i have done it wrong.
    Thanks,
    Suri

    I found it myself how to do it. The error says that it is not able to find the reference object i.e  it is asking us to refer to the table. The following piece of code will solve this problem. Have to implement this in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view. This thing works comrades enjoy...

  • In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item.

    In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item. How can I change to book settings?

    The "options" button should appear at the bottom of the iPhoto window, when you view your book, then the Book Settings Button should be available and you can activate page numbers.
    But remember, that the settings available will depend on the Book Theme you selected. The above shows the settings for one of the "Travel" themes. In a Picture Book Theme, e.g. you cannot add page numbers.
    What theme and book size are you using?

  • Any pointer to look into, when buyers cannot change the payment terms

    Any pointer to look into, when buyers cannot change the payment terms on the POs due to the error u201CExpected/Overall value should be equal or greater than invoiced amountu201D
    A thought process to look around, to investage this issue is appreciated.
    Thx/RICK

    Rick,
    this message may be due to the user trying to change a Purchase order item payment terms when there is already a blocked supplier invoice registered for the item.  The vendor invoice payment terms normally override the PO payment terms.  Users sometimes think they can speed up payment to a vendor by changing the payment terms on the PO.  This can only be done before an invoice is registered and the PO term can be overridden at invoice entry time in any case.
    Have a look at the terms on any associated invoice and the vendor record for the Purch org.  
    You may also want to have a look at your business process for blocked invoice resolution.
    If the user wishes to speed up payment of an invoice they need to contact the users who are responsible for the vendor payments.  We call them AP staff in our org - stands for Accounts Payable.
    Hope this helps

  • I cannot change the wireless LAN encryption WEP settings

    Dear all,
    I have a WRC-1000 which I did not use for about year and a half. Now I reconnected the unit and during the configuration I cannot change the wireless LAN settings for security (WEP). No matter what I do it keeps stuck on 128 bit WEP.
    It also does not show the WEP key settings (so the screen where I should configure the WEP key).
    This is what I have done so far: Full reset, reload default configuration, updated to latest firmware. Still no change. I suspect a hardware failure. Is this a memory failure (flash)??
    Can someone help me out?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Do you speak about the router settings or about the WLan setting on the notebook???
    Did you try to use a Wlan connectivity tool like Intel ProSet Utility or Atheros WLan client utility?
    Depending on your WLan card I would recommend checking these both tools and try to establish the WLan connection using one of these programs!
