Could it be that Mac OS 10.9.4 is preventing me from Beta testing Yosemite ?

Try as I may, I have tried twice ( failure of first attempt prompted a second try,) to download and activate the Yosemite Beta Test only to find that both were on the Apple Store site and shown as "Downloaded" but obviously not "Installed". So far, attempts to install either one has been met without success and so I removed the folders from my iMac. Now, when I attempt to open once more the Downloads folder entitled MavericksBetaAccessUtility.dmg,
I'm informed that Safari can’t open the file because the file has moved since I downloaded it.
Have I now been disqualified from participating in the Beta Test ?

I have just received a response from the Apple Support Communities. As follows:

I am using a Palm Pilot still for several purposes, and the desktop version can run om my Mac OS X 10.6.8, but I cannot find a version that runs on OS X Mavericks, which prevents me from upgrading as my PalmPilot is storage for vital info.

I am using a Palm Pilot still for several purposes, and the desktop version can run om my Mac OS X 10.6.8, but I cannot find a version thjat runs on OS X Mavericks, which prevents me from upgrading as my PalmPilot is storage for vital info. Any solution?

Thank for for your suggestions. Unfortunately they are of little help. I am running on Snow Leopard and the PalmDesktop works fine. However, I do not want to quit my PalmTungsten unit as it is my backup for all my important access information. If it cannot run on Mavericks and no other solution is at hand, I simply will not update my OS X, but work on my Snow Leopard as it is.
I do not know how on earth I can migrate the information from my Palm into another system, and then quit the PalmPilot. If you have any intelligent solutions to this I would appreciate an input. A manual copy and paste solution is not acceptable. I may however run it on Windows via Parallel Desktop, but it is a lousy solution, and demonstrates (again) the weakness of Apple's OS and lack of compatibility. I am not impressed by the OS X performance.
Thank your for your attention.

Uploading my site to Adobe Business Catalyst and I noticed that it turns all my text into images? Why does it do that and is there a way to prevent it from happening?

I don't mind that Muse does this upon uploading my website, but once my text becomes an image on my site, it creates a light halo around my text making it fuzzy. Is there a way to prevent Muse from changing my text into images?

Hello,
I believe you are using System fonts for the text in the site. I would suggest you to use either Web safe fonts or use self hosted font options.
Please refer to the links below to understand how to work with them.

My trackpad on my mac book pro is erratic and prevents me from using the computer

My track pad is completely going crazy i was forced to purchase a seperate mouse. It is jumping around and not recognizine where my fingers are telling it where to go. It is almost as if it needs to be calibrated. It's jumping all over the page and it's highlighting and dragging everything it took 5 min to just get the curser to the settings to look for a calibration option.. it wasnt working yester day and im still experiencing issues.
I bought this mac book pro august 2012 brand new from the mac store.

My Trackpad has been recently doing the exact same thing. I was amost certain i needed a new trackpad but after finding out it wold be almost $300 i had to exhaust all my options. I cleaned the pad, i reset the PRAM and SMC and all that ,I bought Mac Keeper to see if i had any viruses and i placed even pressure across the whole pad . I decided to have one last ditch effort on a turbo clean. I felt this was the problem as my trackpad would work then not then work again and i read on here small amounts of dust and dirt could really effect the way it works!
So this is what i came up with. I needed to get into the very small crack between the body and the pad. You will notice this crack if you apply pressure one edge at a time. You need something thin and strong, i used a pill packet. You know the ones gravol come in thee made of hard plastic and foil. I took one edge of that and used a lens rag for cleaning glasses and wrapped it around that edge. I then dampend this cloth with an alcohol computer or glasses clener and used my cleaning device to go around the pad. It takes some force but let me tell you the S**T that came out. There was dust and dirt all over the rag. My trackpad has been working perfecty ever since(almost 4 full days). It probably isnt what a proffesional would have done but hey it saved me a ton of money and that makes me happy!
Hope this helps

HT4528 My iphone shows a different email addess that i don't recognize which is preventing me from downloading apps. why did my email address change on my phone and how can i reset it?

My iphone 4s is showing an email address that i don't recognize and am unable to download apps. how do i change it back to my email?

Your iCloud account is tied to your Apple ID account - if you go into System Preferences>iCloud>Account Details, you'll see the associated email address. If you need to change your iCloud prefs, change your Apple ID - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
Good luck,

HT203254 Why Mac Book Pro 17 Inch has been removed from the Apple Stores?

while surfing the Apple web site, I found that Mac Book Pro 17 Inches has been removed from all the
stores......is there any fault or some thing wrong has been detected in it?

I heard a rumor that the 17" machines are all wearing cement shoes and at the bottom of the East River. Some guy named Soprano tipped me off.
We aren't supposed to talk about it.

Well, my macbook (alumminium late 2008) started to be too laggy, so I decided to erase the Macbook HD. What I did not know is that my Superdrive is not working, so i could not re-install Mac OS X Snow Leopard. What to do?

Well, lately my Macbook (Alumminium, late 2008) started to be too laggy. So I decided to erase Macbook HD, and reset it to the factory config. What i did not know was that my SuperDrive is not working... So I could not re-install Mac OS X Snow Leopard. What to do?

I'm not familiar with the 2008 Macbook, but will it boot from and external drive? If so, non-Apple CD/DVD drives are not expensive and can be very useful. A bootable USB flash drive might also work for you. Again, I'm not familiar with the 2008 Macbook.
Good luck,

My external HD will not show up on my desktop anymore. I'm on macbook pro 13", OS 10.7. It doesn't show up in disc utilities, nor on another mac, nor on that mac's disc utility. I happened to restart the comp while the HD was connected.

My external HD won't show up anymore on my desktop nor does it get listed in disc utilities. I tried to cennect it to another mac but it doesn't show there either nor in that mac's disc utility. I happened to re-start the computer while the hd was connected and now it doesn't show up anymore. I use it for back-up via Time machine. I could re-format and do the back up all over again but then I need to find it first. Please, does anyone have any solution to this problem?

It sounds as though the external drive may have failed. There's nothing at all wrong with restarting your computer with the external drive connected -- that's a perfectly reasonable and normal thing to do, done by countless users every day without any ill effects.

I am using a work laptop and have the same problem. When I try to change the "configure proxy", they only available option is "use this proxy server for all protocols". Could it be that my system administrator blocked me from changing it since they don't want us to use Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

I have 2 apple ID's and one I could not access that had $15 and for some reason it made me create a new apple id, I now have $25 on both accounts. how do I take the money and put it on one account?

You can't merge Apple IDs. What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc. When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

Could I buy a Mac OSX CD only for VM purpose? Thanks!

I would like to setup Mac OSX on VM using a normal PC (not a Macbook series)
Could I do that?
or I have to buy a Macbook.
Thanks!

You can't. The licence is quite specific. It may only be installed on Apple Hardware. End of story.

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

Thanks for your reply.
The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.

After downloading ff4 into applications folder, then dragged (logo copied) to bar at bottom, when I tried to open it, prompt comes up that Mac OS-X version doesn't support using it?

received email notification, ff4 now available, click here , clicked on button as directed, file downloaded, dbl clicked on icon, dragged new icon to applications folder, looked up "info" and saw "ff4" to which I then dragged a copy to my bottom bar.
tried to open ff4 logo at bottom bar and was informed that Mac OS X 10.4 version did not support ff4?
Luckily I saved older ff 3.6.16 @1998-2011
I have new version ff4 parked in my 'applications folder' but can't use it?

Ok, one of the rules in troubleshooting is to remove all peripherals and see if anything changes.
I had two 500 GB "My Book" drives (different releases) connected via FireWire, and one Seagate 1TB drive connected via USB 2.0. (I thought they might be taking a lot of power away from the main unit.)
So after shutting down the iMac, removing the external hard drives, and attempting a reboot from the DVD I was able to succeed! The verify and permission check went as expected - nothing unusual.
I then dug out my original 10.4 Tiger installation/boot/utility disks that came with my G5 iMac, and was able to boot them as well. With the Tiger install disk I was able to run the "Apple Hardware Test iMac Version 2.5.1", and it didn't test the DVD drive but did find something wrong with the Video memory! (It was apparent that something might be wrong here since the display wasn't clean but had a bunch of short verticle lines about 1/8" going up and down all over my display - it was bad enough that I could barely read the hardware test results.)
So, while I may still have a Power Supply issue (I should be able to boot from the DVD with my external HD's connected) I now also know I may need to have the video ram looked at.

Upgrade from element 8 PC to element 12 mac and got an error that mac version doesn't support older element version. Any idea how to move catalog an pics?

Hello,
Just upgraded Elements to version 12 on a Mac. Did a full backup on my Window based version 8 to external drive and when I wanted to do a restore on the V12 (Mac) got the following message: This catalog is from an older version of Elements and currently is not supported on the Mac platform. Please create a new catalog and then import your media". Any idea how I can maintain all the catalog data from the PC (I have about 25K pictures)?
Thanks

There was a major change in catalog database format in PSE 9. You would need to install PSE 9 or later in windows, make the backup again and then restore that to the mac. You could conceivably do this with the trial if you didn't buy the boxed version of PSE 12 and so don't have the windows media.
