Files that used to be visible are now hidden in Mavericks 10.9.1. How can I change the setting to view the same files as before? I do not need the hidden files that are typically invisible.
I am having trouble locating such files as PDF's INDD, AI etc. When I view all hidden files and try to open it in the program..it looks like it is really not on the drive. Has anyone come across a solution?

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Hi all not sure where original request went but as a new apple user I have external hard drives that are now "read only" and I can't change or save documents. Went to Get Info and this did not help. Can anyone assist with solution, thanks.

I am a new user to apple and have external hard drives from previous computers. I have many documents I can no longer access and change as they say the drives are read only. How do I change the read only to read and write etc for these external drives. I tried Get Info but this did not assist. Thanks.

Hi foxie-d,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this.
iCloud: If email shows the wrong time
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2644
When you send or receive email, the time it was sent or received appears in the email header (the information at the top of the email). If the time shown in your email header is incorrect, you need to change the time zone setting for your iCloud account.
Change the time zone on iCloud.com
Click your account name, then choose Account Settings.
Click Time Zone, then click a time zone on the map.
You can also click the time zone name below the map, then choose a time zone from the pop-up menu.
Click Done.
You need to log out of iCloud, then log back in to see the changed time zone in iCloud Mail.
Happy New Year!
- Judy

The only way that I know currently know of to remove old or incorrect email addresses from the Mail app is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, which I assume that you don't want to to. You could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe one day we'll day be able to edit them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html#ipad

Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then login with your id. Any content already on the iPad will be tied to the previous owner's id and it can't be copied or transferred to your id - so it's probably best to do restore the iPad back to factory defaults and start as from new with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings

HT4527 my daughters iTunes are somehow connected to mine. how can I change that?

My daughters iTunes are somehow connected to my iTunes. Every time I add music to my library it combines the both of them and it will only let me add or update my music on one computer. How can I change this?

His Apple ID shows up because it is his software. He bought it and his Apple ID is encoded in the software, in it's DNA. Only your son's Apple ID can update or redownload the software. The only way to change it is to delete the software and buy it with your Apple ID.

Was using ps6 and lost power. Now it's locked up. How can I get it back?

Try resetting your preferences.
Hold down Ctrl Shift Alt keys, then start Photoshop. You should get a reset dialog.
If that somehow doesn't work, use Windows System Restore to go back to an earlier system state before this happened.

I tried some software that changed my settings to use Bing, How can I change my settings to have google as my new tab search. Not the upper right bar the center

Not the upper right the center one when you click on new tab

I'm guessing you want to use Google as your new tab page?<br>
You can do that by editing about:config:
*Go to about:config (via Location Bar)
*Click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" to proceed.
*Search for '''browser.newtab.url'''
*Right click and click Modify > type '''www.google.com'''
*Then click OK to accept changes
*Restart Firefox and see if the new tab pulls up as Google.

Printouts are always named "Labview document" - how can you change this?

If you print a front panel from an application made in LabVIEW the document will show up on the printer as "Labview document". Is there a way to change that name?
I do not want the users to be bothered by the fact that the software was written in LV, but see a name that they can associate with the software they printed from.

Calendar - Week view now only 5 days - how can you see a 7 day view again?

I like using the Week view in the Calendar, since upgrading to the latest OS a few days ago I can now only see 5 days in the Week view rather than the full 7 days I previously had. Can I change the settings so I can see the full week again?
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In the Calendar app swipe from the top, choose Settings > General > and set Week View to full week. That should bring back the two missing days.

I have a mac book 10.6.8 that has been upgraded to Snow Leopard (latest version.) How can I upgrade to mountain lion with 1GB of memory? When I go to buy it, it says that it's not compatible with my Mac but my Mac has all of the qualifications.

If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it. I just bought the iphone 5 and recieved the new nano as a birthday gift and now I'm up a creek without a paddle b/c I can't plug them into my laptop without the new itunes that runs on Mountain Lion.
Please help, I'm not very tech savvy.

You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11. iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can't upgrade without more RAM.
MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
