After trying to install Mavericks, got an error message my hard drive was bad.

After trying to install Mavericks, got an error message my hard drive was bad. Took it in to the Apple Store and the 'Genius' bar guy couldn't see it as an external drive when he connected another Macbook. If I get another hard drive what's involved in getting my system operational again?

Hi there
Looks like I may be experiencing a similar issue to yours as having issues installing Maverick on snow leopard?

I have a Free Agent external backup hard drive connected to my iMac Intel desktop via USB. Why do I get an error message, from time to time, upon startup stating: "disk was disconnected improperly, always eject disk before disconnecting"?

I have a Free Agent external backup hard drive connected to my iMac Intel desktop via USB, I never unplug it. Why do I get an error message, from time to time, upon startup stating, "Disk was disconnected improperly. Always eject disk before disconnecting."?

I never unplug the external harddrive, and the error message comes up only occassionaly upon startup. Maybe the USB connection gets disrupted enough to cause the computer to see it as disconnected and then reconnected while the iMac is powered.

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine:Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on? the WD disk has mounted??

After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine: "Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on?" I've reformatted in Disk Utilities...not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by "booted" from it.
If the Mac OS is installed on the external drive, then it's possible to start up from it, just as you do from your internal drive. Please open the Startup Disk preference pane in System Preferences, and verify that your internal drive is selected as the startup disk.
Assuming that's the case, then it may be that your TM settings have been corrupted. Turn off TM, then move or delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist. Turn TM back on, recreate your settings, and try again.

DELETING FROM HARD DRIVE ( USING AN APPLE)

I had a hard time at first to figure this out.
Flag pictures with an X

Secret !!! to remove from Hard Drive (you must empty trash)then they are removed
Good Luck,
Rick Rickard

This is pretty standard behavior on a Mac, and it provides you wil another chance to reconsider esp. if you learn that you've trashed a whole folder instead of one image.
You can also just hit delete from a folder view and get that dialogue.

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

Permanently Deleting Photos from Hard Drive

Hi, I recently upgraded to a macbook pro from a macbook. I backed up all of my photos to an external hard drive from the macbook, then moved the entire library to the trash then emptied the trash. I just ran a program called "Disk Inventory X" to find out why my hard drive was still almost full and it turns out that the deleted photos are still on the hard drive in pictures/iphotolibrary/originals/ then their folders (which I can see in the "disc inventory X" program), however I cannot see the files in Finder to delete them. How can I proceed to delete them (there's about 100 gigs)?
Is there another way to open Iphoto Library to erase the files without opening iphoto because the photos are not visibel there?

In Disk Inventory X, when something is selected, just do File > Reveal in Finder or its shortcut on the menu Command-F. That will reveal the folder in the Finder.
Also, in the grid of squares, right-click something and Reveal in Finder is on the context menu.
If the photos are stil listed in iPhoto, select one and do File > Reveal in Finder > Original file. This will show you where on disk any iPhoto photo is.
Note that if you can still see these original photos in iPhoto, it is best to delete them from iPhoto and then empty trash in iPhoto. If you delete photos in the Finder, behind iPhoto's back, you can really screw up your iPhoto library as it loses track of the files it thought were there. You really do not want to go there...

Deleting from library does not delete from hard drive????

itunes support states when deleting from library, it should prompt to remove from hard drive. i am not getting this prompt. i cannot find a setting that changes this either. please advise
thanks,

It only deletes it from the hard drive if it is in the iTunes Music folder path;
Look at your itunes menu > Edit > Preferences >Advanced tab.
"itunes music folder location"
For example, say it is set to C:/Music. If you delete a file from the itunes library list that exists in C:/Music you'll get asked if you want to keep or delete the file.
If you delete a file from the itunes library lists that exists in C:/SomeOtherFolder, it will not get deleted from the hard drive.

Lightroom 5: "Remove Photo" will not delete from hard drive

I just discovered that when I am using the "Remove photo" feature from the library, while the photo is removed from the catalog and "deleted", it remains on my external hard drive. Is there a fix to this issue? I did go to my external drive and create a file and then delete it. I had read in other forums that this allowed Lightroom to find the correct place. This did not solve my problem.
Thank you for any assistance.
Karen

Yes I do.
After I posted, I tried it again in a different file (I organize my photos
on my external drive by month and year). In the month of August file, I
can delete in Lightroom and it deletes from my hard drive. It appears to
only be happening in my September file, at least as far as I can tell now.
I created all of my file folders 2 months ago, so it isn't something I
just did.
Any thoughts?

Colour differences & LR not deleting from hard drive

Hi,
I am running a Dell Dimension 1100, a NEC MultiSync 70 monitor, Xp SP 2 home, Olympus Master 2 and a full version of Lightroom 1.0,Photoshop CS2, and use a Olympus E-500 DSLR.
I have a slight issue with how Lightroom shows the colours of my pictures when i am comparing Olympus Master 2 v. Lightroom 1.0. Most pictures its hard to tell the difference without going back and forth constantly, but when i look at my pictures of flowers or landscapes, my pictures look so much more vibrant in Olympus Master compared to Lightroom. Is this a settings issue? or perhaps something else?
Also.....
when deleting pictures from Lightroom, it asks me if i wish to delete from the hard drive or just remove from Lightroom, when i choose delete from hard drive, after it says its done, if i go look at the folder its still there :/.
any help would be apprieciated, I am a novice dslr user and still learning how to use the softwares out there

Are you shooting images in raw or jpeg mode?
I assume that Olympus Master 2 is the raw processing software bundled with your camera. If so, then you are asking why Olympus software renders pictures differently than Lr. This question has been asked (and answered) many times but it boils down to the fact that the Olympus default rendering could be far different than that chosen by Lr. Also, Olympus may embed proprietary information in the raw image useful to Master 2 but entirely unknown to Lr.
If you want Lr to operate more like Master 2, then create a Lr preset (with the appropriate adjustments -- likely a saturation boost), then apply this preset when importing.
Finally, the camera raw engine (ACR) used by Lr is noted for producing images more muted than that produced by software bundled with cameras. In my opinion this is a good thing since the default rendering that many cameras produce is not at all natural. But the powerful Lr develop module allows me to create any interpretation I choose. Including a head spinning contrast and saturation boost.

HT204406 ITUNES MATCH Windows 7 Error message on upload (Step 3) from PC - 3 times get "Windows close program [iTunes]" with only 30-50 of 500+ songs. Help!

ITUNES MATCH - Need help. Windows 7 Error message on upload (Step 3) from PC - 3 times get "Windows must close program [iTunes]" with only 30-50 of 500+ songs. Anyone have this issue of iTunes crashing?

Exactly the same problem here. As far as I can see this problem has been around since Match was first released with no action from Apple to rectify it. I've spent days trying to get this to work now and unless I get a fix soon, I'm going to pull my Match membership and ask for a refund because this is not what I signed up for...
