HT1338 why won't my macbook let me transfer files to a SD card after the first time i plug it in?

My macbook stops letting me transfer files between it and storage devices (SD cards, hard drives etc) after i use it for the first time.  it works originally but after i eject the device then i cant use it again.

Lightroom is not a file browser. If it thinks the photos are in folder A, you need to tell Lightroom that the photos are really in folder B. This is not a copy or a move. This is a "re-connect".
Here are instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

    Yes, it will do a full backup.
    and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?
    Only if you want to be able to go back in time to those previous Time Machine backups.  When you plug in the new larger external drive, you will only be able to go back as far as the first day you plugged it in and ran the first Time Machine backup on it.

  • HT1338 Why won't my MacBook 10.5.8 receive updates?

    When I click on "software update" it opens, and after it runs it reports that no new software is available. This has been happening for a few months, and I am beginning to get worried that Apple is no longer sending updates to the old MacBooks (I have a 2009 generation MacBook). Is there a way to download a software update via the Apple website? Thanks for any help!

    There are no updates. 10.5.8 is the end of Leopard. To upgrade you must purchase Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion depending on what your computer can support.
    What updates do you wish to download? You can find standalone updaters at support.apple.com/downloads/. For OS X upgrades see:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.

  • HT1338 Why won't my MacBook Air Update iPhoto and iMovie ?

    I bought my macbook Air mid last year and the flash drive was faulty in it and i had to have it replaced and ever since that i cant use imessage as they didnt put the serial number back in and now i cant update some applications on my computer and as iPhoto and iMovie. when i try to update these applications it just says " to update this aplication, sign into the account you used to purchase it" i am on the sane account as what i have always used the only differance is i have changed the email from what it use to be

    The download takes a long time. If you have a Ethernet Adaptor use it. Try to locate a high-bandwidth wireless connection. Do you have enough free space on your SSD (including keeping 10-20% empty for VMEM and temporary files)

  • HT1338 Why won't my MacBook Pro completely restart?

    When I have installed updates to my MacBook Pro and select to restart my laptop it will not completely restart. The system starts the process but never completes it so I end up having to shut down my laptop. Is there a way to fix this?

    You can try VLC, I belive it supports playback for AVCHD. It I am wrong, it's free, so no harm no foul. You can find it and videolan.org.
    As for iMovie, it should recognize AVCHD, unless your camera has some sort of new or proprietary version of the AVCHD codec, in which case you can only cross your fingers and hope Apple updates iMovie as there is no codec plug-in architecture to expand iMovies native support.

  • Why won't LR5.7 let me add files in a folder to its catalog?

    I accidentally imported files from an SD card into two different folders. Lightroom made me aware of this when I tried to copy them from folder A to the 'correct' folder B, by saying that they were already present in the destination folder.
    The stats for folder B show only 10 pictures, not the 277 I tried to copy from foler A. I don't know how to persuade LR to show the 277 files, which it says are in folder B. File explorer confirms that the files are in both folders.
    I've tried synchronising Folder B. LR says that it doesn't contain any files that aren't already in my catalog.
    Any ideas what is going on and how I can make LR show these photos?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

  • HT1338 I am a 20 year Mac user.  I just downloaded a book for the first time using iTunes.  When I go to "Books" in the left hand margin of iTunes and click on the new book I downloaded, nothing happens. It gets hi-lighted, but  it doesn't open?

    I am a 20 year Mac user.  I downloaded a book from iTunes moments ago.  in iTunes, under the left hand margin "Books" when I select the book and double click on it, it doesn't open.  How do I read this book?  It won't give me an option to open with other apps, but isn't there a built in app?

    iBooks can not be read on macs, only on iDevices.

  • Why does the "more info" of "Get info" get erased after the first time I look at it, and how can I get it back?

    When I download a graphic, photo, or PDF, I can get information about it, including size and the web address of the download, using Get info. But in Mountain Lion, after I look at a file once, this information disappears. This wasn't true of Snow Leopard, though I can't remember whether it was true of Lion. In any case, it seems like a bug. Is there a way to recover this information?

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • I can't find iMovie on my brand new macbook pro. I'm pretty sure it was there the first time I started it up, but now I can't locate it. Suggestions?

    Does anyone know why it's not installed on this computer? I asked the sales guy before I bought it and he said it was there. And I think I remember seeing the icon. This is incredibly frustrating.

    Should be in the Applications folder - can be added back to the dock - or if accidentally deleted should be able to get it back from the CD that came with the system.

  • Won't print after the first time

    The printer worked fine after I used the installation CD.  Then it automatically updated the driver and now doesn't work.  So I deleted the driver and re-installed it.  I tried the original disc as well as the update on the website.  Now when I plug the USB port into the computer, nothing prints.  The program recognizes that the printer is there, but nothing happens.  The control panel says "printing" but nothing prints. I tried installing the newest driver onto my laptop which is windows 8.1 Lenovo.  It worked, but then as soon as I disconnected the USB port to pack up for the day and then reconnected it the next day, the printer no longer prints.  I just changed all the cartridges so they are full.  I am so fed up with this drivver issue.  Help!

  • Why won't my macbook pro play youtube videos?

    Why wont my macbook pro play youtube videos????
    I bought this over the summer and it's now Nov 28th. I've had it with this thing and nobody is answering my question! Please help!
    I reset safari, emptied my cache, cleared my history, uninstalled and re-installed flash player and nothing has helped. In fact, un/reinstalling flash player worsened the problem. And I cannot update it becuase it says "not recognized".
    I do have avast anti-virus: but I can't fix the warnings in it (after I scan, some warnings popup and it wont let me fix it and I have no idea where to find it in the computer itself). Does this have anything to do with it? I need virus protection, so I dont want to get rid of it.
    I do not have the money to buy firefox (and it's never worked for me ever anyways).
    I know it's not my internet because my dad's pc works great and my sister's mac (for school) loads youtube videos instantly.
    I also have this annoying issue where every page on the interned needs to be reloaded three times before itll load the first time. It sits there for five minutes and does nothing, then I reload the page and BAM its loaded: EXCEPT YOUTUBE.
    For a $1400 machine, I'd like to know what and why this is happening.

    Perhaps there is something wrong with your software and/or a corrupt cache file outside of the browser.

    Hmm hard to tell what's causing this. May have to do a process of elimination to cure everything on the machine.

    Uninstall the anti-virus, they always cause issues on Mac's.
    You say you need anti-virus, so install the free ClamXav, it's a program you run as you need it, because 99% of the malware out there is for Windows and won't run on a Mac, thus you can just run ClamXav when you need it on where you need it. Won't bugger up the machine.
    I do not have the money to buy firefox (and it's never worked for me ever anyways).
    Firefox is a free web browser by the open source community, it's very powerful and highly customizable with more add-ons, extensions, personas, themes than any other browser. Some things  can be done on Firefox can't be done on any other browser at all. Certainly for someone who is a bit more seasoned to use it fully.

    You mentioned your "dad" and you've mentioned a delay loading pages and not YouTube at all.
    Are you by any chance the Administrator of the computer? Can you install Firefox if you wanted too just as a experiment or does it ask for a Admin name and password and you can't provide it?
    "Nannyware" has the ability to block sites and slow down page draws as it's consulting with the nannyware company if that site is suitable to be loaded on your machine.
    If your are the Admin of the machine, then your going to have to methodically go through the fix it list I've generated here to resolve your issue as I cant' tell what's causing your problem specifically behind a screen.
    If it's too much for you, take the machine to a local Mac/PC software repair shop and they can fix you up.
    I suspect by #12 your machine will be fixed.

    It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
    And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

  • Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents??

    Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents saved in pages and save them again? It keeps saying access denied when its my computer and I have Lion OS X

    Right click the document and select 'get info'.  Check the permissions for the file.  If several of these files have the wrong permissions then you may need to repair user permissions.  See this for instructions:
