Chooser still empty after clean reinstall

Put in a new 40G HD and upgraded from 8.6 to 9.2.2. Put OS on first 7.6G partition. Everything seemed to work fine except printing: I'd get an error message informing me that AppleTalk was turned on or an application was using the printer port. Repeated efforts to turn off AppleTalk didn't work and in the process, the printer and modem icons in Chooser disappeared.
I reinstalled the OS (clean reinstall) and the Chooser still has no printer/modem icons. When I attempt to print, I get the message to choose the printer in the Chooser. My printer (Epson 740i) icon shows up in the left hand side, but the right is still empty. AppleTalk has been turned off at the Control Panel and the Control Strip. Printer drivers for 9.2.2 have been reinstalled. What gives?

Well, I just solved my problem, but am not sure how. I'm hooked up to the Internet via my Ethernet port, so seeing previous posts that discussed an AppleTalk problem in 9.2.2 I thought I'd try that angle. I disconnected the Ethernet cable, restarted and a USB driver appeared in the Chooser. I selected it for my printer and, behold, it printed. Reconnected Ethernet, restarted and both printer and Internet connection seem to work.

Retaining playlists after clean reinstall of OS (all info on external HD)?

Okay, this happens to me every single time I have to do this:
I run my iTunes entirely off of an external hard drive - so everything it there including the iTunesLibrary.xml files (I also have the entire hard drive backed up on a completely separate external drive due to past complications like this). SO - I had to do a clean reinstall of the Snow Leopard OS because my Mac is old and probably on its last legs (which is a question for a whole different support area) and now I want to run iTunes while maintaining the playlists and playcounts and all that other stuff that I had before - while also retaining all of my apps and movies and downloads, etc.
I've done this before and each time I have had to call for support and it takes hours, literally hours, to get it fixed - and sadly, I have no recollection of what we did previously. I have tried following the advice from other support questions on this forum, but something is amiss and not working properly. I have tried to redirect iTunes to the External HD through the advanced pane from the Preferences menus.....I have opened iTunes while holding "option" and choosing the External HD and it starts to reload ALL of my music and does not reload the playlists AND it is moving the folders all over the place and it looks like it's creating duplicate files as well.
Seriously, this is getting aggravating. When I first moved my files to an external I had to do this and lost all of my playlist info. Then I had to move to a larger external and lost all of my playlist info. I had issues with that external and had to move it all again, and this time, after calling for support, I saved my playlist info, but ended up with lost songs and duplicates of almost 5000 songs. I'm afraid that after messing around with the HD I have plugged in now trying to reload everything that it is screwed up and will mess up and create even more duplicates so I may have to use my back-up HD.
If that's the case, please will someone help me figure out how to do this? All I want is to open iTunes using my External HD (as I always do) while maintaining my playlists and playcounts and everything that I had prior to my reload of the OS.......please?!?!

SO - I had to do a clean reinstall of the Snow Leopard OS
Not really.
Snow Leopard can be reinstalled over the exisitng system without losing any user data.
now I want to run iTunes while maintaining the playlists and playcounts and all that other stuff that I had before - while also retaining all of my apps and movies and downloads, etc.
Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external
That is all you need to do.
Make sure the exterrnal is powered on, mounted on the desktop and ready before launching iTunes.
I have opened iTunes while holding "option" and choosing the External HD and it starts to reload ALL of my music and does not reload the playlists AND it is moving the folders all over the place and it looks like it's creating duplicate files as well.
Nothing should get "reloaded" as it is simply the same iTunes library as before. Simply opening a library doesn't load anything new.

MBP 2012 still slow after clean install of Yosemite

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me, I've done just about everything I can find online to get my MBP to work like it used to. After unsuccessful attempts at different workarounds, I decided to wipe everything perform a clean install of Yosemite.
Still no luck!! #nobueno
Problem description:
After clean install of Yosemite, my MacBook Pro (2012) continues to run at a snailspace. Very slow!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I may not agree with them.

Blue Screen after clean reinstall snow leopard

I have a mid 2011 that came with Snow Leopard and disks. I upgraded from there to Lion - then whatever came next and to Mavericks and finally Yosemite, which was a nightmare for me. I did not use disks of any of the rest. So I just decided to take my disks and go back to Snow Leopard. I did this and it asked to go to disk utility and repair both the HD and Permissions. It came out ok, but there was an instance where looking at the list in HD repair, I saw Suid File System Library Core was moved and cannot be repaired. I went ahead and erased the Hard Drive. Then closed out and installed Snow Leopard. I'm not sure I did it right because I had to rename the new start up disk and typed in unnamed 1.
after that I was able to start up to Snow Leopard. It worked fine until I tried to download all the updates. Then it didn't seem to restart, but just went to the sign in screen. So I had to keep shutting down and turning it back on. No updates. One of times I started up, I got the blue screen after the apple and gray screen.
Also on start up the apple comes up without the chime. Last night I got some instructions from a similar situation and tried to use my disk to a clean reinstall all over. It didn't work, still the blue screen. (it does fine in safemode.)
I need help to get this mac running. If someone can help me......

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

MacBook Air 2010 Very Slow (even after clean reinstall)

Hi,
Problem
The performance of my Macbook Air 2010 has slowed to the point where I can hardly complete basic tasks. For comparison, I use a MacBook Air 2013 at work and do not experience the same performance issues, so I believe my expectations are not unreasonably high.
My Question
Can you please advise on what I can do to troubleshoot? I've tried the solutions listed below, all of which have failed.
I'm grateful for any help you can offer.
Problem Description
Switching contexts or tabs, operating within applications (such as Chrome, small Excel spreadsheets, navigating files), and browsing the Internet has become a slow, laggy and crash-filled experience.
When right-clicking an icon and selecting 'Open With', Finder frequently times out or requires time to populate a list of applications.
Machine is slow to the point where, unless a solution presents itself, I'll have to get a new MacBook Air.
What I've Tried
'Religiously' close all applications after use; extremely conscientious of number of applications running and their resource requirements.
Clean reinstall of OS X.
Storing all media on external hard drive to create more storage space.
Clearing cache for all browsers regularly
Always running machine on battery power
Regular reboots
Machine Specs:

Thanks, dominic23.
Unfortunately, it did not work.
-Tried starting in safe mode, resetting SMC, and repairing disk. Resetting the SMC helped upon reboot, but performance degraded swiftly and back at a low within 30-minutes.

Can't connect to time capsule after clean reinstall of Yosemite

Hi
I was having performance issues with my MBP and it looked like a clean reinstall of Yosemite was the answer. I have performed the reinstall and re install my apps. I want to bring back my data from my time capsule but I can't connect.
When I tried in Migration Assistant it said there were problems connecting. If I use Finder, it is visible under the Shared heading but it says I can't connect.
How can I reconnect my time capsule so that I can bring back my data?
Thanks in advance.

Reset the TC to factory.. redo the setup from Yosemite version Airport Utility.. no files are lost doing this.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
When you do the setup, give the TC short names with no spaces and pure alphanumeric characters.. same for passwords.. 8-20 characters.
Now in Finder mount the TC by IP address rather than by name.
Use Go, Connect to Server from top menu,
SMB://10.0.1.1 for example.
It has to be static IP which is default in router mode but not so in bridge.
If you are bridged use the name or fix the IP.. dhcp reservation in the main router.
Type in like this for name.
SMB://TCname.local (replace with your new name and local is default domain .. it is important and helps).
Remember to save the password in the keychain when asked.
Good luck.. and if it fails clean install Mavericks or even Mountain Lion.. they work so much better.

Can't find sound card after clean reinstall from scratch to vista 32 bit from 64

Greetings Everyone,
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with this frustrating problem.
I did a clean reinstall from scratch to move to vista 32 bit from vista 64. None of my goodies (mp3 player, phone.. all sadly antiquated) played on the 64 version. That's why I nuked it.
The reinstall worked like a charm, except now I can't get anything from the external jacks, which worked fine before the reinstall. I've used every aspect of the device manager, and checked for downloads on each. When I go to sound devices, it lists the soundcard as "high definition audio device," and says that the software has been updated.
The internal speakers are the delightful Altec Lansings.. and they work fine. In fact, when I plug something into the headphone jacks, they continue working.
Therefore, I'm trying to find the name of the sound card installed on my build, and then find the driver for it.
Here's all the specs from the back if you need them:
Product: hp pavillion dv 9843cl refurbished
I'm a music lover, and I love this computer, and I'll be sooooo happy if I can get this fixed. I'm facing music withdrawals, and getting weaker by the day.
Could anyone please offer me advice?
If there's any other information you need to know, please let me know.
Thanks so much!
Rob

Firefox will not start, will not open in safe mode, and still will not work after clean reinstall, Mac/OSX

One moment I was using Firefox the same as I always have. The only difference was that I changed the preferences to erase history when quitting Firefox. When trying to open the program again, it is immediately unresponsive. I attempted opening it in safe mode and a window will appear but never load, and Firefox remains unresponsive. I could not reset Firefox either. I deleted the application and re-downloaded Firefox, but it changed nothing. I am in OSX 10.7.4. Can anyone help?

Hello chillman4130, try to create a new profile(in case that you profile is corrupted), go (with closed firefox...... it is anyway) to /Applications/Utilities > Open the Terminal application > in the Terminal application, enter the following:
* /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p
Press Return
the above opens Profile Manager, if the profile manager open then see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles#w_creating-a-profile Creating a profile]
then see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile Recovering important data from an old profile]

Mailboxes STILL empty after importing from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11

Hi... I've been spending the last couple of days trawling the web (incl. this site) for solutions and have found similar postings, but they were either unresolved, or didn't really match my situation. So please excuse me if this is partially repetitive but hopefully someone can point me in a specific direction for resolution.
1) Under Mail 1.3.11 (Panther 10.3.9) I had stored several years of email (8+ GB... unfortunately my work requires me to keep everything) from 3 accounts - 1x IMAP, 2x POP. Most of my mail had been reorganised into various folders and mailboxes that contained a mixture of emails from all 3 source accounts. As far as I know, everything was healthy - no corruptions etc. except for the ubiquitous "not downloaded from server, take account online" problem.
2) When I transitioned to Mail 2.1.3 (Tiger 10.4.11) I used the Migration Assistant and got all my old Mail data over, changed all the file and folder permissions in olduser-Library-Mail to read and write, and used Import within Tiger Mail (and using the Other option as well). Everything seemed to move over into an Imported folder, and my hierarchy of subfolders remained correct, but all of them are empty.
3) Some suggestions I've found online have been to Rebuild the "empty" mailboxes/subfolders but the Rebuild option is grayed out whenever I select any mailbox/folder/subfolder.
4) There were some other suggestions to tinker with the insides of newuser-Library-Mail or olduser-Library-Mail but these were not for situations identical to mine so I'm hesitant to try for fear of making things worse.
5) For the moment, to continue working, I've set up a new account under Mail to fetch and send from my main IMAP account, but I don't have any of my old emails for reference ie. my new Tiger Mail has one mailbox (the Inbox) containing all my incoming mail from AFTER the upgrade... everything prior to that is on an external firewire drive that I can boot into (the old 10.3.9) as a reference backup. Curiously, eventhough I've set the new Tiger Mail to keep copies of outgoing mail, my Sent box remains empty and sometimes when I'm composing outgoing mail, I get a warning pop up about being unable to save into my IMAP outbox.
Do all of the above give any gurus out there a lightbulb moment as to what my problem might be and how I can solve it? Any help will be rewarded with eternal gratitude and my first grandchild. OK, maybe not the latter, but please help anyway!

No, Mail in 10.4 is not crap; it's actually better and more reliable than Mail in 10.5. So here's what I would do, though this will not preserve any folder hierarchy--you'd have to manually do that:
1. In your Panther Mail program, choose an account, a mailbox (Inbox for this example), and Select All messages in that mailbox.
2. Choose Save As… and choose Raw Message Source from the dialog window, then choose a destination (your Desktop) and save the file as Inbox.mbox.
3. After that file is saved, go to your Desktop and create two new folders: one named Inbox and the other named Mailbox.
4. Put the Inbox.mbox file inside the Mailbox folder, and the Mailbox folder inside the Inbox folder. Copy the nested folder/file to the Tiger machine if necessary so you can access it from Tiger Mail.
5. Open Tiger Mail, choose File >Import Mailboxes…, select Other from the list of import options, then navigate to the Inbox folder and select Choose. The file Inbox.mbox should appear in the window; click Continue and wait for the import to finish. You can then move the Inbox messages out of the Import folder to wherever you like in Tiger Mail.
6. Rinse and repeat for your other mailboxes, changing the names of nested folders/files as necessary.

A135-S4666 still overheating after cleaning

Hello All, hope you guys can help me figure this one out!
Last week, my wife's laptop (Toshiba Satellite A135-S4666) started showing signs of overheating. (Shut-down after 45-60 minutes of use. Turning it back on immediately would yield a shut-down within seconds. Waiting a few minutes would result in a shut down after a few minutes.) So, I figured it was overheating and needed a good cleaning to remove dust and/or debris from the heatsink area. (We've had it about 18 months.)
Upon disassembly, there was very little dust inside so I removed the heatsink where I found that the thermal paste on the CPU appeared powdery and was not paste-like at all. I immediately thought that this was the problem and cleaned the CPU and heatsink with Isopropyl Alcohol and then applied some old Arctic Silver 3 that I had.
Now, after booting it back up: the problem is still there?!? It will run for about 40-45 minutes from a cold boot and then shut down again, same as before. Below are some observations.
-The fan appears to be working as it should: spinning up randomly during the first 15 minutes or so and then staying on till the end.
-I installed Speedfan and both Core Temps were reporting around 42 C - 44 C at idle. It would get up to about 55 C before shutting down. (This seemed too low to me for a shut-down, anybody know for certain? Also, some folks on Toshiba's forums were saying that Speedfan could not report accurate temps in these laptops. Is that correct? I forget to check the temps before the disassembly for comparison.)
-Could my Arctic Silver 3 expire? I've had it for about 3-4 years, I think. It appeared separated when I first applied it, but when I mixed it up, it spread and looked like I remember.
Anybody know what I should try next?

Never use alcohol or any liquid inside PC. The heat sink may look clean (as my PC was shutting down (thank god for built in protection to keep Toshiba components safe!) do to heat. PC will reboot on its own if its just a driver failure (I'm told). So getting back to the topic, my heat sink looked clean and so did the fan, but i hit it with CRC anyway and walla! I couldn't believe the copious amounts of dust I was removing from PC. I put a Swiss iceberg laptop cooler underneath to help (my PC used to get hot as ^&*$ from not cleaning!) disperse additional heat! but between CRC and cooler, no shutdown since, and X205 sli stays cool. use liquid free PC approved compressed air (such as CRC Duster) and only use anti-static wipes for all other surfaces. Because my PC shut down a few times I also updated bios and all primary drivers, if you haven't cleaned your PC in the last 1/2 year or so and it shuts down random, CLEAN IT WITH APPROPRIATE CLEANER! (No offence, I too have used alcohol before being corrected by a good friend who works in Information Technology) And update drivers (who ever said updates were not necessary?) Try this and if this doesn't work please post what did work, and of coarse buy the extended warranty because these issues rarely happen within the first year! If mine shuts down one more time I will post and send my laptop in under 4 year extended warranty to be analyzed by Toshiba...good luck!

Satellite A30 still crashes after cleaning fans

Dear All,
I cleaned the heatsink and fans as suggested in many posts, found the "felt filter" and removed it. Since then my A30 runs a lot cooler and the fans come on less often. But, I still get these random crashes and restarts. I checked the event log and found the following message THE FOLLOWING BOOT-START OR SYSTEM-START DRIVER(S) FAILED TO LOAD:
d_kmd. Can anyone give me some hints on resolving this problem?

Mine allways does this there is no cure they allways seam to crash for no reason i even sent it of for repair it came back worked ok for a week then started crashing again! I was wondering if you could help me do you know where i can get hold of some re-boot discs for the sat a30 ive lost mine!! x pc princess

After clean reinstall from Time Machine, iPhoto says: "photo library needs to be upgraded"

My iMac was reset to factory settings after the 1 TB HDD recall (replaced HDD). I restored practically everything from Time Machine prior to the HDD replacement. The only surprise so far is that when I start iPhoto for the first time, it says: "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.". Of course I don't want it to corrupt all the photos and videos I have stored in there prior to the HDD replacement. Should I click on "upgrade"? Why is this showing up? Nothing should have changed between before and after ...?

Well, that explains why it needs to upgrade the iPhoto Library, because your Mac now has version 9.2.3 whereas before it has 8.1.2.
I always like to understand what is going on before proceeding. I am guessing that Apple "restored" the 10.6.8 system but must have delivered it back to you with more recent versions of some apps like iPhoto (they probably don't keep all the old versions of those apps for these restores). I also believe that Time Machine usually does not replace a newer version of an Apple program (like iPhoto, Safari, Mail, etc.) when it is restoring like this. So I THINK this all makes sense.
So what I would do here is make a copy of your iPhoto Library (in case you don't like the results of what happens next), and then say "yes" when it asks to upgrade the iPhoto library to be used with the new version 9.2.3. The only reason this updating could go wrong is that there is some problem inside your database already, otherwise it should work fine. (I've upgraded through about ~ 4 versions of iPhoto over the past several years and have never had a problem with this step).
If you run into a problem after saying "yes," then you have your old Library still (the copy you'll have made) and can take steps to rebuid or repair it with a number of different tools before trying again.

CC Particle World crashing system after clean reinstall

I was having some issues with my new mac, CS4 was running crashy after a big crash with system that occured when closing out the OS. Apple had me erase and reinstall the operating system. I reinstalled CS4, everything seemed to go smoothly. My after effects project I was working on before the reinstall opened up fine, but when I went to turned off the Live Update switch I got an error message (which i unfortunately did not write down). I restarted the computer, did not get the error message when flipping the live update switch, but I tried to apply cc particle world to a solid and I got the error message "After Effects error: crash occured while invoking effect plug-in "CC Particle World"" and it crashed out of after effects auto saving the file. I tried to apply CC particle world to a solid in a brand new composition, same thing. This is a brand new install with Mac os 10.6.2. I never had this problem before the reinstall. If any one has any advice, please let me know. thanks.

Apple's tech support has only a few scripts and you got one of the worst. Next time, go looking for help among Mac users first. apple.com has a discussion area for OS10 and you can search apple.com for relevant knowledge base articles.
Crashing the Mac OS is not unheard of but "closing out the OS" is something I have never heard of anyone doing. Did you mean you shut down the macintosh and experienced this crash?
Umm, never mind, it's all irrelevant and this is NOT a Macintosh assistance forum.
Let us knwo what happens after Todd's suggestion of updating your CS4 apps.

How to restore old prefs, etc after clean reinstall of 10.3.9?

Due to a fiasco with Drive Genius I was forced to reformat and reinstall 10.3.9. Luckly, I was bright enough to manually copy over the entire contents of the drive to a firewire drive before I started the drive genius project.
I was able to find directions on how to restore my users which worked perfectly.
I've copied all the apps back. But all the apps were in the main drive rather than in users, so the prefs, registrations etc are, I assume, stored in the old library.
Is there a way to replace the new library with the original to avoid several days work digging out the original packaging to get the serial numbers for re-entering so I can get back to work right away?

The serial #s, etc were in fact in the original main library. I was able to restore the use of all the programs by manually replacing the missing items in each folder in the library. It took over an hour, but I got it all back and saved me from having to rummage through storage boxes for the original documentation to retrieve and re-enter all the info.

Vim does not add 'view' command even after clean reinstall

Hi! I've run into an issue with Vim where the built-in alias 'view' doesn't work. I'm fairly certain it originally belonged to Vi, but I removed said editor before installing Vim. Here's how things went, in a nutshell:
% which view
/usr/bin/view
# pacman -R vi
% which view
view not found
# pacman -S vim
warning: vim is up-to-date -- reinstalling
% which view
view not found
# pacman -R vim
(pacman removes vim)
# pacman -S vim
(pacman installs vim again)
% which view
view not found
Has anyone encountered this before? I've got
alias view='vim -R'
in my .zshrc now and that works fine, I'm just a bit perplexed.
