  • Trying to install AOM in Bridge CC but can't find the "Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions" folder - where is it? Thank you!

    After updating to 10.9.2 the Finder changed and I feel something is hiding - for example, I no longer seem to be able to "GET INFO" about my hardrive... only my drive and "my documents" etc... maybe this has something to do with not being able to find this folder:  Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions

    Jeff... Yes. I meant to mark this solved - found another thread recommending using FINDER-GO TO- and /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions.
    It worked easy.
    That little bit of info would be a great addition to that install AOM instructions.
    Thank you for asking!

  • Applications Volume not found in Finder (Mac owner for 3 weeks)

    Hi, I goofed today. I had an error in my Verify Disk (Below), so I thought I would boot from my OSX CDs, and fix it in Repair Disk. I ended up actually going through a new installation, choosing the non erase option. (I did not know how to boot from CDs)
    However, the install would not complete. I booted from the Backup Drive and that worked well and copied the backup to my Mac HD. (Using Carbon Copy Cloner on a LaCie FireWire Drive)
    All seems well except in Finder, when I select Applications, it says Volume not found. However, when I choose Applications from my Macintosh HD Volume, the Applications are there and work fine. Documents, Photos Music is all accessible from Finder left side Icons.
    What do I need to do to get my system back to normal?
    For future reference, how do I fix the initial problem, and how do I boot from the OS CDs
    Thanks for your help

    Actually, it sounds like you have some sort of an alias problem. Just exactly where in Finder are you getting the error? Is it the Sidebar? If so, drag the Applications folder out of the Sidebar, it will go "poof"--then just drag the folder from MacHD into the Sidebar.

  • Trying to clean up my iMac.  Noticed that while in finder, I click on Applications and in the list I see another folder called applications that is a duplicator of the original folder.  Is this truly a copy that can be deleted?

    Trying to clean up my iMac.  Noticed that while in finder, I click on Applications and in the list I see another folder called applications that is a duplicator of the original folder.  Is this truly a copy that can be deleted?

    DO NOT remove either folder. DO NOT mess with any OS X system files either. If you have dupliocates check your files in iPhoto, iTunes and your iMovies libraries. Also check your data files, under ALL circumstances stay away from any OS X systems files or you will probably bork your Mac to the point it will not run.

  • Migration from PC to Mac without losing application data (savegames etc.)

    Hello everyone,
    I am migrating from from my old Windows PC onto a MacBook Pro, and I'm having difficulties with iTunes and my iOS devices (iPhone 4, iPad 1). Maybe someone here can help me out, I'd be ever so grateful.
    I set up iTunes on my MBP yesterday and logged in to my account. I replaced the empty iTunes Media folder with my old one (which contains all my music, videos and applications) via an external hard drive.
    First problem: it wouldn't import these files into my new library automatically. Just showed me an empty library I think I imported the entire iTunes Media folder manually yesterday via "Add to folder". The status right now (after some experimentation) is old iTunes Media folder copied, but nothing imported (that is, I have an empty library).
    When I connected my iPhone and tried to synch, I first had to authorize the MacBook for the iPhone. So far, so good. However when I tried to synch iTunes warned me that if I synch, all data on the iPhone will be removed and replaced by the data from my new local library (which is, of couse a copy of my old library, but doesn't store application data like savegames).
    I tried to do it via "transfer purchased items from iPhone", which took forever, but yielded the same result: a warning that all data on the iPhone would be erased.
    So the question is: How do I connect my iPhone and iPad to iTunes on my new Mac without losing application data like settings and savegames? And why is this so complicated and intransparent? I should be able to just copy my media, say "authorize this Computer, then add iPhone to the registered devices" and then proceed like nothing ever changed.
    I searched the net until three in the morning yesterday, but couldn't find anything that sounded safe enough to give it a try.
    Thanks in advance and best Regards,
    Nate
    PS: I do have the backup-folders from my old PC on a USB stick - are those going to help?

    I was fighting this battle the past few days myself; but actually it is REALLY easy now. See here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/moveitunes_windowsmac.html
    Then, once iTunes was on the Mac, I did this:
    1. On the Mac rename ...\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl as ...\iTunes\iTunes Library
    2. On the Mac delete ...\iTunes\iTunes Library Genius.itdb (Apparently the PC & Mac versions are not compatible - iTunes will just rebuild it later)
    3. Launch iTunes and immediately press & hold down the Option key until a dialog opens asking you to Choose a library. Navigate to the folder/drive you've copied from the PC and open ...\iTunes\iTunes Library.
    (thanks to turingtest2 for the above steps)
    That was it. Did it yesterday evening. All playlists, libraries, everything copied fine. No problems; no broken links. Perfect.

  • I have a g4 power mac and system is 10.4.11. Where do you find mac mail?

    I accidentally trash mac mail and now I need to reinstall. Where
    can I find mac mail. Is it on os 10.4.11 system disk. The g4 is a old computer.
    Please advice.

    HI Agnes,
    Did you just delete it from the Dock?
    If so look in the Applications folder.
    If you deleted the real Mail.App...
    Get Pacifist...
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    then extract/install what you need from your Install Disc.
    Or re-apply the big 10.4.11 Combo update...
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

  • Office 2011 - Can't Find Visual Basic for Applications Error

    I have recently installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my Mac and have been using the Dev tools to program macros in VB. Suddenly, it stopped loading it when I try to enter the VB workspace and throws an error stating that "Can't Find Visual Basic for Applications." The error tries to be helpful, but in a typical Microsoft way is just plain vague. Any thoughts?

    I have the same problem, but have no odd characters in my hard disc name.
    I am pteey annoyed as I bought Office 2011 pre-loaded on my new Macbook, but it did not have the VBA (which is why I wanted Offfcie rather than the free OpenOffice in the first place).
    VBA is supposedly on the Office distrbution CD, so I went through the loop of re-installing Office 2011 with the VBA option ticked. No VBA apperared. After 3 times trying the install, still no VBA. The macbook has the VBA framework file installed in the applications folder, but the clicking the editor tab in the developer tab of Excel just brings up an error massage sayng VBA is not installed.
    Not clear where to go from here. Try the Genious Bar at the local mac store?

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • Can't find an eligible Logic application in  OSX10.4.3

    Logic Pro/Express 7.1.1 update doesn't work in Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.4.1
    Installing the Logic Pro or Logic Express version 7.1.1 update works fine in Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.2 and later, but it won't work in earlier Tiger builds (10.4 and 10.4.1). When you try to update Logic 7.1 to version 7.1.1 on a computer with Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.4.1:
    *     Software Update will not detect or offer the Logic update.
    *     The standalone installer will erroneously state that it can't find an eligible Logic application in the Applications folder.
    Hi,
    I'm experiencing this problem with a G5 with OSX10.4.3. Anyone else??
    buns

    If you have changed the name of the logic app in any way, put it in a folder or moved it from the applications folder, the updater will not see it. it must be left untouched, as is, in the apps folder.. so this could be your problem.
    as for the updater telling you that you have no valid version to update going from 7.0.1 to 7.1.1, that is in fact how it is supposed to be.. 7.1 was a paid upgrade, you have to order the update DVD for that and install it first, before you can go to 7.1.1. at least that is how it is for logic pro..

  • Why  won't software update find Mac App Store

    Why won't my iMac with OS X 6.7 find the Mac App Store application?

    Hi Rhys ...
    Which tabs are you referring to?
    Do you mean where you see Featured / Top Charts / Categories etc at the top of the window?

  • HT2492 I am using Snow Leopard and the icon for dashboard was removed from the dock.  Does anyone knopw how to put it back?  I have searched Finder, Trash and the Applications folder but i can't find it.  It works when i press F4 so it must still be there

    I have searched Finder, Trash and the applications folder but i can't find where it is kept.  I want to put the icon for Dashboard back in the dock - how can i do this?

    The combo update may replace anything you have inadvertently deleted.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    You can reapply it over the top of any previously downloaded version.  I see that your profile says 10.6.8.
    Then software update to pick up any new security, iTunes updates.

  • Everytime I open Safari on my MacBook Pro a pop-up window from my Finder menu, with the Applications highlighted on the left in the favorites column with the Resources folder highlighted comes up and locks my Safari page until I manually close the Resourc

    Everytime I open Safari on my MacBook Pro a pop-up window from my Finder menu, with the Applications highlighted on the left in the favorites column with the Resources folder highlighted comes up and locks my Safari page until I manually close the Resources window then I have to refresh the internet search address line at the top of Safari. Can someone tell me how to stop this. It started after a software upgrade. It didn’t do that before. Thank you.

    A few thoughts for diagnosis/testing purposes:
    Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions? If not do so.
    Boot into the Safe mode - hold down shift key on boot - and see if the problems are still there. Some functions won't work but see if anything odd happens.
    Check your startup items. Get rid of them temporarily.
    Create a new user account and see if the problems occur with the new account.
    Lastly, be sure your backup is up-to-date.

  • 2d Direct draw, and how to find out if the application is a java apps

    I am running a banner application that was written in java. And in some instances, we are seeing the banner flicker every 5 seconds or 10 seconds. The banner application is written by some other government branch and on their documentation they say that the flickering is due to java's 2D directdraw used by some other java application (not their banner application). I personally haven't seen this on our test VMs but it is being seen on some physical workstation at the client site.
    I am trying to find out the application that is using java's 2D directdraw in our environment. Some of the question I have is
    1) Is there anyway to find out what application is using java 2D directdraw? ( I know how to disabled it globally for java but don't want to do that, I would rather just disable it for one application than disabling it on all java application)
    2) Is there anyway to find out what applications are depended in JVM on a machine? So that I can narrow the list of application to test.
    3) Is there anyway to find out if a application is written in java. Our environments have a lot of applications installed on them and I'm not sure which one use JVM and which one don't. If there is a way to know that then I can narrow down my issue and try to solve it.
    Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it,
    Sudeep.

    Hi,
    if the database is running, start a sqlplus session. You will see in the banner something like '64Bit Production' (for 64-bit) or only 'Production' for 32-bit. Alternatively, especially if the database is not running, go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and type 'file oracle'. The returning strings shows either 32-bit or 64-bit.
    Best regards

    It depends in which modeu have deployed your applications:
    If you will deploy your Application using nostage=”true” in the Above ANT script then It will be deployed on the Server in no Stage mode ...means the Actual Location of the Application will be used by the Server.
    If you will deploy your Application using stage=”true” in the Above ANT script then It will be deployed on the Server in Stage mode ...means the the application will be staged inside the "<DOMAIN_HOME>\servers\<SERVER_NAME>\stage" directory.

  • CS5 Preview in Finder (Mac) not available?

    Hi all,
    I'm used to save a preview thumbnail with every ID file I make (a setting in InDesign preferences), so when I'm scanning a folder in Finder (Mac) I can almost instantly see what the contents of a certain ID file is. Well, was, until I switched to CS5.
    Somehow I cannot see the preview/thumbnail image in de ID CS5 file in the Finder, in Bridge however, the preview is very good.
    Am I missing something, or is the Finder not capable of showing InDesign CS5 previews.
    I run Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.3

    You were using a special program to see the CS4 thumbnails. It's not a native option from InDesign and/or Mac OSX.
