Hi Maclapa!
Do you have more than one account on the Mac?
Are you sure that you are logged in with an Admin account?
Have you run Repair Permissions?
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
Rerun RP until the only message it reports is:
"We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.
New permissions are 33261"
This is a status message and not a cause for concern. You may safely ignore it.
Or these:
"We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/jobs. New uid is 1"
"We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/spool. New uid is 1"
Again, these are status messages, which appeared after Security Update 2005-001.
There may be others that you can ignore. Complete list at link below.

When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

  • Why doesn't my new hard drive come with Pages and Numbers?

    I just got a new hard drive installed in my Mac Book Pro.  It doesn't have Numbers and Pages as an included app.  How do I get those w/o having to pay the $40 app fee?

    If you previously downloaded them from the Mac App Store or associated them with an Apple ID, log into the Mac App Store with that Apple ID and download them from the Purchases tab.
    If you got them on an iWork DVD or with a Mac that originally shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier, install them from DVD.
    If you got them with a Mac that originally shipped with 10.7 or newer but didn’t associate them with an Apple ID, click here.

  • Epson CX6400 driver for Leopard?

    How can I get my Epson CX6400 to use an Epson driver in Leopard?
    The Printer Features/Presets are not active in Gutenprint.
    The CX6400 worked fine in Tiger. I installed Leopard as Archive with Preserve Users. I customized for Epson printers only.
    After the install, the CX6400 could not print.
    I downloaded and installed current Epson software, but CX6400 did not appear in the driver list.
    Apple says Leopard uses Gutenprint V.5.1.3 so I downloaded current Gutenprint software, and reset the printer.
    It prints, but no access to presets.

    There have been many reports of printing problems after doing an Archive and Install of Leopard. Try resetting the printing system. Open System Prefereces -> Print & Fax. Control-click (right-click) in the white box where the printers are listed. You will see an option to reset the printing system.
    After you reset the printing system, you will have to add your printer again. There should be no problems with accessing all the features of the Gutenprint drivers. There is one problem with the Epson Gutenprint drivers in Leopard. You will have to manually select the Resolution you want to print at. Selecting the *Print Quality* (eg Standard, Draft, High) does not work. It will always print in the Economy mode if you do not manually select the Resolution. You can make a Preset for the resolution you want to use most often.
    I downloaded and installed current Epson software, but CX6400 did not appear in the driver list.
    The Epson support page for Leopard does show a download for drivers for the CX6400. It indicates that it is compatible with PowerPC Macs. You have an Intel Mac, so I think their drivers will not work on your computer.

  • Help!! Why doesn't MCP recognize 16gb ram?

    Hi!
    I recently bought 16gb ram to upgrade my MCP 13'' from early 2011, although the computer doesn't recognize ll the 16, just says 8 when i check the settings, both slots occupied with 4 instead of the actual 8. I have tried to take them out and inserting them again, no change, as well as checking the sticks so they're what they should be, 8gb. It's the Crucial 8 GB DDR3L 1333 SODIMM I've got.

    Edisislost wrote:
    Thanks for the replys, didn't help though. Just saw that the sticks are supposed to be 1333 DD3, the computer is reading them as 1600 DDR3, and for half it's actual memory...
    Are you saying that one module is 1333 MHz and the other is 1600 MHz?  If that is that is case, there would be a compatibility problem.    Again I would test each 8 GB module independently.
    OWC has tested 2011 MBPs with 1600 MHz RAM and found that it works with their RAM.  This may or may not be the case with RAM from other vendors.  Macs have a reputation of being very selective with RAM.
    Ciao.

  • HELP ME PLEASE - TROUBLES WITH BB APP WORLD AND CANNOT INSTALL APPLICATIO​NS

    Hi there,
    can anyone help me... I've been trying all day to try and download apps from my desktop to my BB Curve 8520. i was trying to download dexrex... so i select to download it, i get redirected to a page that asks me for my email and PW, I provide the info and am redirected to another page "blackberry app world setup" 
    step 1 states "You have installed the BlackBerry App World Browser Plug-in on this computer."
    Step 2 asks for me to connect my smartphone and select my device. I select the only PIN available that comes up. I am prompted for a Password and provide it.
    Step 3 states the following... "you have a version of blackberry app world that enables account creation"
    I click onto Next on the bottom left - and terms and conditions come up, i select "i agree"
    then this comes up from paypal....
    "Our records indicate that you have already paid for items in App World with a PayPal account. To transfer your paid items to your My World account and connect your PayPal account to your My World account, please click the button below to be taken to the PayPal site to validate your credentials."
    the only thing to click on really is the paypal ... and i get redirected to the blackberry ID sign in page and repeat all the same steps as above.
    Please help me!!!

    I've gone through the exact same process as you. Frustrating!!
    It's infuriating to get an error message that says "Blackberry App World cannot be downloaded from Blackberry App World."
    And it's downright SCARY to get the following message when you've NEVER used PayPal in your life:
    "Our records indicate that you have already paid for items in App World with a PayPal account. To transfer your paid items to your My World account and connect your PayPal account to your My World account, please click the button below to be taken to the PayPal site to validate your credentials."
    These are problems that just shouldn't be happening. Don't tell me I have a PayPal account when I do not.
    At this point I don't see a way to proceed without creating a PayPal account... is it the case that Blackberry App World is unusable without a PayPal Account?
    If there is a way to proceed without a PayPal account I would love to know what that is.
    If there is not, then why don't you just say, "You must create a PayPal Account to use BlackBerry App World"?
    Let me know which it is. Thanks.

  • Why doesn't my external hard drive mount anymore?

    Hi Apple genius'
    I need some help here to avoid having to pay $$$ to send my hard drive off to be recovered. I was using it and deleting some old photos I'd not accessed in a long time and then the drive froze and crashed the computer. I had several apps open at the time and didnt think anything of it until I restarted the mba and the external drive didn't show. It doesn't appear in disk util, but does show in systen profiler (see attached pic). Is there any way I can get this drive back or does it need to be in the hands of the pros in a lab?
    It's a western digital passport 1TB with a usb3.0 connection which has worked solidly since I bought it in Feb this year. I called the "tech support" who asked me to switch my mac off and on again then plug the drive in. Thanks WD! How helpful.
    Can you guys out there help me?

    Do you have a backup of your disk? If not, proceed at your own risk.
    I would try to repair the disk using Disk Utility?
    If that doesn't work... try DiskWarrior to repair the drive directory.
    Beyond that you will need professional help to recover your data.

  • Why doesn't my cd/dvd drive appear in my device list?

    First see if Finder Preferences has the box checked for... show CD, DVD, iPods checked.
    Sometimes dirty DVDs won't read, mine is ery particular about smudges and scratches.
    Try a SMC Reset:
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • Why doesn't my password work when installing AFP?

    I am trying to install the new Adobe Flash Player and my password is not working, but I can sign into my Adobe account. I have reset my password and it still works for the account.

    It's not.... your Adobe password, but your Operating System password, required to install software.

  • Why doesn't iPad 2 have siri installed in it?

    I think that iPad 2 should have Siri in it,  don't you ?

    Welcome to the Support Communities. No, I don't think the iPad 2 should have Siri while it's still in Beta on iPhone 4S:
    ...Perhaps when Siri's bugs have been fixed and it's out of Beta, Apple will put Siri on the iPad 2.

  • Epson r1800 driver installed on intel mac

    OK, I spent hours figuring this out. If you have an epson and are on an intel mac here's how you get the new drivers to install.
    Go to espon leopard support page.
    http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/SupportLeopard.jsp
    Download your driver. Read the enclosed document, it's still based on tiger but here's what you do. Open the system preferences panel. Open Print & Fax. Where your printers are listed on the LEFT hit the "minus" sign and uninstall the printer there. Then install the new epson driver you downloaded.
    There it is in your printer panel, select the new driver as your default.
    IT WORKS!!!!

    Ok, I called Epson and they had me do the minus thing, then restart and then try to add again. I had already installed the driver on their website like they said. I could not add the R320 again, and got error message 9672, which they said was an Apple error message and to call them. Naturally, the phone is not even working. EVERYONE must be having some issues with Leopard. . . any suggestions for this error? My printer sort of works still, but doesn't have the right page setup options, etc. it did before upgrading. . . . Hmmmm, sort of makes the term "upgrade" seem wrong, doesn't it????

  • HT1212 hi...i brought an (American Sprint) i phone 4s from ebay, Now i cant active the phone. can you help me please

    Hi there, I bought an iPhone 4s (sprint USA) from eBay. Now i cant active the phone here in UK. How can I active this phone ? Can anyone help me please.

    Why on earth did you purchase an American iPhone if you knew you were going to activate and use it in the UK?
    If you like in the UK and you want to use the phone in the UK, then buy an iPhone 5 that you can actually use in the UK. 
    So you need to purchase the phone either through one of the phone companies of your choosing by taking out a contract - so EE (Organge and T-Mobile 4G), Vodafone, 3, or o2 or buy an unlocked iPhone directly from the Apple store itself for full price.
    If you buy from e-bay you have no valid warranty if the phone goes wrong, so you won't be able to get the phone fixed in the UK, but you will physically have to go back to the US to get it fixed - iPhone warranty is country specific and NOT worldwide.  If you buy the phone in the UK, then you will have an EU warranty.
    Return the phone to your seller at e-bay for a full refund and start again and buy and iPhone 5 that is unlocked from the UK and then you will be able to activate it.
    Do you have a sim card because you need a sim card to be able to activate a phone and have you connected it to iTunes?
    Unfortunately, not all US models of the iPhone 5 have sim card slots or if they do, they are not all unlocked, so if this is the case with your phone, then you won't be able to activate it here in the UK and there is nothing that you can do.  You will either have an unusable brick or you will have to return you phone to your ebay seller for a full refund.

  • Epson CX6400

    I have my Epson CX6400 hooked up to a D-link DRP 1260 print server. I can print via the print server, but when I print via the print server using iphoto 08 I get a red hue on some of the pictures. When I print via USB connected to my Macbook (10.4.11) everything prints out perfectly. When I have my Macbook plugged in via USB the Epson CX6400 driver is automatically selected. I have tried to manually select the print driver when the Epson CX6400 is connected to the D-link DRP 1260 print server to no avail. When the Epson CX6400 is connected to the print server all I can select is the
