  • I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..

    I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..

    The way I resolved this issue was to create a dual boot Mac, so that I am able to boot from either Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Running Vectorworks in a virtual machine just didn’t cut it.
    I had already upgraded to Mavericks, which meant that trying to install OS 10.8.5 as a second operating system produced the error message saying it cannot be installed on this computer.
    First, if you need a copy of Mountain Lion installer and you has previously purchased it, open the App Store app, press the option key and then click on the purchases tab. You will see a list of all downloaded software from Apple and you can download OS 10.8.5 again without paying for it a second time. If you had previously created a boot disk of Mountain Lion, which I had not, you can obviously skip this step and the next.
    You will need a boot disk for Mountain Lion. After downloading the Mountain Lion installer, the easiest way to create a boot disk is to use a slick little app called DiskMaker X, which you can get here: http://liondiskmaker.com  Next you will need a USB flash drive of at least 8GB in size. Install and run DiskMaker X, plug in your flash drive, and follow the prompts. In just a few clicks, your boot drive will be easily created.
    Next, you will need to add a partition on your startup drive on which you will install Mountain Lion. Here is the procedure for creating the new partition: http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilitysize.htm  You can find this at Apple support, but this site gives you additional procedures that may be helpful. I set my new partition at 50 GB, but you can do with less is you don’t have the space.
    With those two operations done, and your OS 10.8.5 boot drive plugged in, restart you Mac and press the option key after you hear the chime. You will be asked which drive you wish to start from- select the boot drive. After your Mac boots up, you will see several options- choose install Mountain Lion (actually I think the option is reinstall Mountain Lion).
    After completing the OS install, install your copy of Vectorworks, copy and move whatever files you need to from Mavericks, and you are in business. To boot from either OS, simply press the option key and select OS 10.8.5 when you need to work in Vectorkorks, or OS 10.9 for all your other tasks. Switching back and forth isn’t as advantageous as otherwise, but it is the best way to run Vectorworks without upgrading for the $1,500 or so that would be required otherwise.

  • Deauthorization of less than 5 computers

    I have less than 5 computers authorized (three are authorized). I want to deauthorize one of the computers that I no longer have. The instructions say that you can deauthorize ALL computers once a year (and, then reauthorize the 2 that I still have). However, it says that you need to have 5 computers authorized in order to deauthorize all of them. How can I deauthorize "all" computers if I only have 3 currently authorized?
    P.S.
    I notice that there are MANY similar requests for deauthorization of less than 5 computers. Why can't Apple simply place a "Deauthorize All" button option regardless of the number of currently authorized computers?? Or, at least have a way to authorize additional "dummy" computers until 5 are authorized. Seems simple...

    "How can I deauthorize "all" computers if I only have 3 currently authorized?
    The simple answer is that you can't, the deauthorise all button will only appear when you have used the full 5 allowances. If this is a feature you'd like to see you can leave your feedback/request at this link: Apple Product Feedback

    Hi CPI Pierre,
    You can determine what is using the memory in your iPad Air by looking at Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage.
    If you are having issues with insufficient memory you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    If you have reached the limit of 5, then deauthorize all and authorize the active computers:

  • I have less than 200 pictures on my iPhone, but it is showing that I have over 1600 on it...

    I have less than 200 pictures on my iPhone, but it is saying that there is 8 GB of storage used and over 1600 pictures on the iPhone, I have checked everything that I know how, is there someplace that iOS 8.2 hides additional pictures?

    I had the same issue. Photo app said I have 500 photos and 7 videos but the about section said I had 62 videos and 1500 photos. I fixed it by changing the date on my phone, by going back a few months, then went to the photo app and found them all sitting in the recently deleted (even thought they had been deleted ages ago). I then emptied everything in the recently deleted folder. This fixed the problem for me.
    I backed up all the photos before I did this just incase I lost them

  • HT204053 Apperantly, I have more than 5 computers with the same apple ID. How do I de-authorize some computers?

    I am trying to rent a movie. After I put my Apple ID, it's telling me that I have more than 5 computers authorized in my Apple ID. Also, it's advising me to de-authorize some of these computers. How do I do that?

    If you can't individually deauthorize any of them, use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

  • HT1222 Hey, I've tried to install the new iOS 7.1 but it says that the installation cannot be completed and doesn't say why. I have more than 50% battery left but it still doesn't work, help?

    Hey, I've tried to install the new iOS 7.1 but it says that the installation cannot be completed and doesn't say why. I have more than 50% battery left but it still doesn't work, help?

    It probably means you don't have enough available storage on your phone.  It takes space to store the download - THEN unpack it.  Best method is to use a computer with iTunes (This allows you to back up on your computer as well). 
    PLEASE:  Do not purchase iCloud storage space - this will not give you more room for the iOS 7.1 installation.

    After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
    If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
    If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
    Good luck
