Just upgraded my macbook pro to Mavericks, and I can't open iTunes. I get a message to "uncheck the 'use 32bit' Option". But it is uncheckd anyway!

I have just "upgraded" to Mavericks and cannot open iTunes. I get a message to uncheck the "Open in 32-bit mode" in the iTunes info window. It it is unchecked anyway. I've tried checking it, then unchecking it - still no go.
iTunes was working fine until the upgrade.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi B,
This thread says reinstalling iTunes made it work again: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23702832#23702832

I have OSX 10.6.6 MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and i am trying to format my whole hard drive (back to factory settings) from the original CD. Can someone please give instructions?

I have an OS X 10.6.6 MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and i am trying to format my whole hard drive (back to factory settings) from the original CD.
Can someone please give instructions?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To restore the MacBook Pro to factory settings:
1. Make a backup of your files because everything will be erased.
2. Insert the Snow Leopard disc and press the C key while your Mac is starting to start from the DVD.
3. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
4. Close Disk Utility and install Mac OS X

Pleeease help! cant boot macbook pro running leopard!

i am having a huge problem with my macbook pro running leopard. i was originally trying to partition my hardrive for windows with boot camp but that failed cause it "couldnt move files" so i ran disk utility with the installation disk to fix the harddrive.
anyways next thing i know i boot my computer and it stops at the blue login screen before it has the option to login with the spinning wheel and does a loop of blue screens with spinning wheel. wont boot in safe mode and it always stops at the same screen. so i looked around on the web and it sounded like a had to archive and install. so i did that and then half an hour in it told me i had a corrupt file and i had to restart.
so i restarted and then it brought me straight to the leopard installation screen and told me that "mac osx cannot be upgraded to v10.5 on your computer" because "macosx 10.4 or later could not be found"!!! i used the disk util to repair the hard drive but it said everything was fine. i cant safe boot, it wont give me the option to archive and install again its only giving me the option to erase my whole harddrive!
pleeease help! i have not backed up in 2 months! is there anyway to get this to start up or back up some files from this point?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Ok... if you have another Mac, you can do Firewire Target Disk Mode
To transfer files using FireWire:
Shut down the computer to be used as a disk. Leave the other computer on.
Connect the two computers with a FireWire cable.
Start up the computer to be used as a disk, then open System Preferences, click Startup Disk, and click Target Disk Mode. (Or, start it up while holding down the T key.)
A disk icon appears on the desktop of the other computer.
Transfer files by dragging them to and from the disk.
Eject the disk by dragging its icon to the Trash. (While you drag, the Trash icon changes to an Eject icon.)
On the computer you used as a disk, push the power button to shut it down, and then disconnect the FireWire cable.

How do I get my macmini running Mountain Lion to see my Canon USB printer connected to my Airport Extreme? I have a macbook pro running leopard and that works fine. The versions of airport utility are different and I can't even see the printer from new 1

I am having trouble seeing my usb printer from my second gen airport extreme using the newest version of airport utility under Mountain Lion. UGH! And while I can see and network to my Canon IP5000 from my macbook pro running leopard, I can't from my new macmini running Mountain Lion. Any help would be appreciated in configuring my macmini so it can see the Canon IP5000 on the airport extreme. Don't want to "share" the printer from the laptop because that would be a cludge. Thanks ahead

I solved this one based on another post. Turned out I needed the snow leopard IP5000 driver. I had just copied over the leopard driver (I had saved my .dmg file) and installed that but it didn't work. So I downloaded the latest driver which turned out to be for snow leopard and I am guessing since it is 64bit that is why it worked and the leopard driver didn't. Anyway, I also had to hook the printer up via usb to the mac mini to get it to work locally before the O/S would see it over Bonjour via the airport extreme.

MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard and Exchange Server

My wife is considering a MacBook Pro for her business (we have one at home). At her work they have Exchange Server. With our home MacBook Pro I have been able to connect to her Exchange server through Entourage. (however I think her Exchange server is version 4 and not 7). Anyway, we are getting mail, contacts and her calendar through Exchange but we are not getting shared calendars and I don't know how to access her files on the Exchange server. I really want her to buy a MacBook but we need to make sure that shared calendars and file sharing works. Can someone inform me about this?
Her company is upgrading to Exchange server 7 in December and I know that Snow Leopard allows Exchange to work through Mail, Address Book and iCal. Again, I need to know if calendar sharing and file sharing can work. Thanks.

Hello,
Wondering if you had any luck getting this issue resolved (I have the exact same question).
Thanks,

Help with iMessage with MacBook Pro, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.

Hi all, needing some help please.
I send an iMessage using my MacBook Pro, I receive a reply on my iPad 2 but nothing appears on my iPhone 4S.
Why is this?

in the iPad you are using as acount one ore more e-mail acounts, for example: [email protected] !
in the iPhone 4 or 4S you can use a TELEPHONE acount! for example:   +1 987654321
and !!! you can use one ore more e-mail acounts, for example:   [email protected]
in the mac you are using as acount one ore more e-mail accounts, for example:   [email protected]
So, very important is, that on ALL devices is the same MAIN acount activated!!!
For example:   ipad: [email protected] / mac: [email protected] / iphone 4(s) [email protected]
Your e-mails must be registerd in the appl store, your main acount for example.
iCloud must be con mail activated!!!!
After this doing, sending a imessage from each device apears instantly in the other devices!!
Anathor very IMPORTANT detaill: in the apple store, in your acount you must enter the correct tel. nummber.
Don´t forgett the country code... +1...+41...or so.
Then you can use the tel. acount on your iphone 4(s) also by this way!!
Good look!

Logic Pro unexpectedly quit and now won't open at all please help!!

Hi all,
I have a Macbook Pro, 10.7.5 - just the standard one. I use Logic Studio (Logic Pro 9) and normally it works fine but the other day I tried to bounce a track and I got the beachball of death and the message 'Logic Pro has quit unexpectedly, a version has been saved xxxxx (crashed) etc'. This happened everytime I tried to save or bounce or import, in any session - a blank one, or an old one.
So I did some research and on an apple support page ended up deleting the 'Prokit' thing from my library, and downloading the new one (Prokit update 7 I think). I tried opening Logic again and got this message:
'Logic Pro cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Logic Pro works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.'
I gave up a bit at this point, and thought I'd uninstall/delete every trace of Logic from my laptop, including the items in preferences (this was recommended online somewhere). I went through the (lenghty!!) process of reinstalling Logic and all the audio content and extra CDs, and the problem is still exactly the same and I can't open Logic.
Can anyone please help? I'm lost without being able to use Logic every day, any advise would be great!!
And I've also just updated Logic and still no luck.
Thanks,
David

My Macbook Pro went crazy and now won't turn on!

My macbook pro (that is barely 1 year old) wont turn on - I take very good care of it and it has been functioning perfectly fine. I uploaded some pictures to my laptop (which already has thousands of pictures) and my laptop started lagging and freezing and eventually just randomly turned off. After trying to turn it back on it wasnt responding so I left it over night. The next day I turned it back on and it loaded my desktop picture but none of my desktop icons were visible and not even the top bar or the scrolly bar and the spinning rainbow ball was there for half an hour. After a while I tried restarting - didnt work, tried closing the lid and opening it and the top bar appeared after a while but still nothing else. I tried starting it in safe mode and my desktop image was gone but the desktop icons slowly appeared and it was apparent that everything was there and nothing was lost - but I couldnt open anything because it kept freezing and then after half an hour returned to idleness and had not opened anything. After finally leaving it I decided to restart it one last time and it switched off after freezing for another half an hour but now when I try to turn it on (in anyway) it loads the light blue background with the apple and the spinning loading icon thing - and after 10 minutes just switches off - refuses to turn on at all... what to do? The battery is fine, it had been charging fine and my laptop is given to me by my university which means if I mess it up (or people who think they know what they're doing in the apple store mess it up) I have to pay. As of now I am on vacation and really need to use it but dont know what to do right now. Help?

Try running Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen select the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself).

Dropped MacBook Pro retina display and screen won't work

I accidental just dropped my MacBook Pro with retina display on its left side from about 2 feet. There doesn't appear to be any external damage except for the screen which is just white with some black on the left side. I can change the brightness and everything else appears to work. Any ideas on how to fix it or how much it would cost to repair. Thanks

Oh dear
Call your local Apple Store to get a quote for a repair.
And check your home insurance to see if it's covered (it might be if you have accidental damage cover and you dropped it at home).
If you're not ready or able to afford a repair or replacement, you might be able to keep using your MBP if you connect it to an external display.
I don't know how important portability is for you, but if you would normally only use your MBP in one or two specific places (eg home and work), you could set up one external display in each location.
Good luck!

Upgrade failed, it corrupt my Firefox and now won't open at all???

I just received a notice this a.m. to upgrade Firefox. I accept it and followed the defaults. Now, FF won't open at all.

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Installed Aperture with new Snow Leopard and it won't open

I just got Aperture 2.0 and it installed fine but when I tried to open the application, its says it does not work with this version of Leopard. Is there a fix for this?

So essentially, you'd have to purchase the 2.14 update from the mac store?
No. He's saying he used the serial number that came with 2.x when he bought it, and it will work with the 2.14 download.
There seems to be a catch 22: Aperture 2.1 won't work with Snow Leopard, and the 2.14 update won't work because it can't find 2.1. The work around Daniel found is to download the 2.14 trial then authorize it with the 2.1 serial number.
See if it works for you ,and let us know.
