    why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

    I'm getting this same problem. It seems random when it asks for the password, maybe every 3 or 4 days it'll ask when I plug it in at night. I've tried restoring from an older backup, which has not resolved the issue.

  • Must update firmware before installing OSX Tiger on OS9

    I'm trying to bring an iMac G3 with OS9 to life. It's brand new, never been used before, and doesn't yet have internet. I will get internet (Airport Card) soon, but first have a software update problem.
    After starting the iMac, I have inserted the install DVD for Tiger. The computer says it must restart to install, and when it restarts, the computer says it must update firmware before installing. I have to choose a system with which it will start up and my choices are:
    OS9: Hard Drive
    OSX: Install DVD
    My 3rd option searches for a location, and ends up restarting in OS9.
    Every option either results in the inevitable error message that the firmware needs updating or using the OS9 environment.
    I read Apple support saying that firmware needs to be updated to fix this problem. Support suggests updating firmware from the OSX install DVD, but I haven't found such updates on the DVD, and need to overcome the firmware problem.
    Please help, I am anxious to use my computer!
    Thank you!

    Hi, Kristine -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    You can download the firmware update you need from either of these Apple KBase articles -
    Article #58174 - iMac: When to Install Available Updaters
    Article #86117 - Firmware Updates
    In order to install the firmware update, the machine must be booted to OS 9 on its internal hard drive. It's a good idea to have no external devices connected when you do it, other than the keyboard and mouse. If you can, print out the ReadMe that accompanies the update.

  • HT1338 I dont have a mac book air can you install apps like (angry birds, temple run)

    I dont have a mac book air. Can you install apps like angry birds and temple run?

    Can you install them on what? Those are both iOS apps (meaning they can be installed on iPods, iPhones and iPads), but iOS apps cannot be run on either a Mac or a PC. I believe that there is a Mac version of Angry Birds as well, which is completely separate from the iOS version of Angry Birds.

  • Did not update firmware before installing tiger now imac wont turn on....

    I bought tiger for my imac dv g3 400mh computer and bought additional memory from crucial so that it would load on.
    I got a message on screen saying that I needed to update firmware and to restart my computer which I did and now it will not turn on. The power button is on but the screen is blank.
    I have read an article posted on here and I tried everything (the sleep/wake trick)etc but it still will not work.
    any help will be appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Fortunately your Mac has a VGA port in its back panel, which should work to connect an external display while you apply the firmware after the fact. So find someone who has a VGA display, and download this firmware update and apply it while booted off the hard disk.
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n75130
    It is only the internal display which goes dark if the firmware was not applied before attempting to install 10.2 or later.

  • Why does my compiled exe ask for the location of subvis when installed on another computer?

    Hello,
    I have a piece of deployable software I have developed and so I have created two build specifications to produce an .exe file and an installer.
    The build specification for the installer includes the compiled exe and all of the required SubVIs to reside in a sub directory in the install directory and when it installs on another computer the SubVIs are located in the correct place.
    However, when I install and run it on another computer, a dialog box appears prompting for the location of the SubVIs, I select the one that it is asking for and it then loads the remaining VIs and runs as normal.
    Is there something fundamentally I'm missing in the way SubVIs are called after using an installer, or is there a way to bundle them into the .exe/installer so that I don't receive the dialog box?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Sam

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes - but on my computer, I believe the exe is finding the files from the .exe build, rather than the installer location.
    In fact, I just renamed the default build directory (where it places the installer / exe after the build and I get the same dialog - it is looking in C:\LabVIEW Builds\etc.
    rather than...
    C:\Program Files\My Software\subvidirectory
    So maybe it is the problem you suggested Yamaeda? If so - is there a solution/workaround for this?

    Are you being serious?
    If you've done any programming in Java then I'd really have hoped you already realised it is a platform independent programming language, that was Sun's original intention when they created it ,  to be able to run compiled code on any Java Virtual Machine regardless of the platform:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29
    And as for "dot net" - do you not realise that this is purely a MS Windows development framework?!!
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework
    Just to be clear, (and I realise I'm being picky here, given that English isn't likely to be your first language), they are not "developer programs", they are programming languages or frameworks.
    And for further clarification, the Mac operating system does support Java development, and does not support .Net (unless you install Windows on it!)
    I can't comment on the 'mainframe' bit you're referring to without more detail.

  • I Have office for mac home and business 2011, can you install on both users on one iMac?

    I Have office for mac home and business 2011, can you install on both users on one iMac?

    That's often a permissions problem. Try launching Disk Utility and running the Repair Permissions. That may fix the problem. Also confirm that the Office 2011 folder is in the Applications folder at the root of the hard drive, not a folder within your wife's Home folder.
    If that doesn't help. post back with further details; your version of Mac OS X, whether you installed Office via a user account with admin privileges or not, and what happens when you try and launch Office from your account including error messages if any.
    Hope this helps.

  • Zen is frozen, Reset doess nothing, recovery tool only updates firmware,

    When I power up my zen it is frozen at the beginning of a song.
    The only button that works is the power button.
    reset does nothing
    Downloading the rcovery tool, only updates firmware
    the internal tool does not work, when I hold down Play/pause during boot, then release,
    the zen goes straight to the frozen song.
    I had tried to install and Audible.com book
    Is that what did me in?
    how do I fix this.
    PS
    Not pleased that the only support is email,
    I sent 2 emails yesterday, and have yet to hear anything.
    Thanks for helping!

    I do not think that the Audible book download is to blame, because I use my ZENs also for Audible books.
    When I first started to use my ZEN I also found that it froze on me, but then I took to carrying a paper clip with me and whenever the ZEN froze I just pushed the end of the paper clip into the little hole and the player would work again. Have you tried that yet?
    I must say that my player seems to have recovered from this little hiccup and is not freezing up any more so that I do not have to use a paper clip.

  • Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install?  This seems like a big error by Adobe.

    I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro.  No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers.  I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use.  When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message.  What is the point of a universal player that is not universal?  It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8.  Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

    Where are you getting Flash from?
    Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.
