I'm running OS X 10.7.5 on my MacBook Air, but I cannot download Mavericks. I've tried downloading after a safe boot, but the progress bar and the download hung up. Any ideas?
It can be a long download, so keep trying. My first download was at 3 am Cupertino time and took less than an hour. The second took close to three hours one evening.

Computer won't boot--suggested fixes haven't worked. Any other ideas?
Hi, this is kind of a last-ditch effort, hoping to find out if someone has a magic spell I can try (perhaps some command I can run from single-user mode?) The problem: my new MacBook pro won't boot up (gray screen, apple logo, windmill of death) and I've tried all the suggested avenues: it won't respond to Safe mode, I've reset the PRAM and the power, I've done fsck -y: nada. The problem is that I'm out of town, and so don't have my original install disk or access to an Apple Store. I've tried booting from someone else's OSX disk, to no avail--Apple Care says that other people's disks won't work. So basically I have to wait for the universal OSX disk to come from Apple, which will take days--in the meantime, does anyone know anything else I can try? I realize I'm probably SOL here, but I figured it's worth a shot to see if anyone has any other ideas. I'm desperate.
Thanks in advance for your help.Yes if you have no firewire port then you will not be able to use Target Disk Mode. But if your partner with the mac happens to have a bootable backup then you could boot into it using USB port, As long as they have the backup in a USB enclosure.
I realize that you stated you tried everything to no avail but we are new to your efforts. So just to clarify any miscommunication on our part here are a few links that you can verify with us the procedures you have used in your effort.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard? Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?
Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system. -
I downloaded a trial of photoshop. It runs for a minute or so, then a message displays saying that photoshop has stopped. No error codes, just the message. I have exhausted the "try this" stuff that I can find. Any other ideas would be appreciated. I would also like to know what some alternative applications might be. This trial does not give me confidence in Adobe's product.
I saw a similar question deeper into the forum right after I posted. I followed the fix steps and it took care of the problem.
Thanks for getting back to me. I am good to go. -
I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!
The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
605124.pdf.html
Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted (ie have red exclamation mark by them) but are still OK on iPhone. If I sync, will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal or will I lose that as well? Or could I back up the calendars on my iPhone somewhere and then import them into iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please? it's driving me mad. thanks.
I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is 'stuck'...any suggestions?
Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound. Others still do. I checked general settings. Any other ideas of how to fix this?
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Help..!! I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on a MacBook Air. I had keychain issues with passwords etc and bumbled my way out of it by deleting the current keychain and creating a new one with a new log-in (yes, I wrote it down this time!) But now these little boxes appear wanting my log-in ie. calendar, Safari, Outlook) and its annoying....entering the login gets rid of the box but what a pain and I know it's not right.....I know I need to enter somekind of automatic logins to these apps but how do I do that....and go easy on me, I'm not computer savvy.
Did you install the latest driver set for the device? there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

I keep getting error message -42408 when I try to open ITunes Store.I sent a email to support and they sent me a link from Roy B,I tried both of his sugegstions and neither worked.Anyone have any other ideas????
Did you get anywhere with this, ikeaheerlen?
I am having the same sort problem (although my keyboard is recognized so I'm much further along than you).
I had a MacBook Pro with an XP SP3 partition and a Windows 7 partition on it.
I switched to a Mac Pro and wanted to migrate them over to it.
I used WinClone to make backups of both partitions and transferred the WinClone images to the Mac Pro.
I manually created the partitions and restored the WinClone images into each one.
But VMware wouldn't recognize either one.
So I deleted them both, and let Boot Camp Assistant (re-)create a single Boot Camp partition. Then I restored the Windows 7 WinClone image into it.
Ever since then all I get is "BOOTMGR is missing" error.
I thought maybe since I had dual-boot working (with a boot manager) in the old MacBook Pro setup, that the boot manager must've lived on the Windows XP SP3 partition, and it's completely missing from the Windows 7 partition. So I figured I needed to recreate it somehow.
After using the Windows 7 DVD ISO disc image to boot from, and trying several automated/manual steps, I can now actually get VMware to recognize the Boot Camp partition as being one, but when it tries to set it up for use with VMware, it complains that it isn't ready because it must have shut down incorrectly. It says to boot into Windows, then do a clean shutdown. But when I select the Boot Camp partition from Startup Disk, it boots from it but I still get the "BOOTMGR is missing" error even in a 'native' Boot Camp boot
I've tried all the steps I can find (including manual "bcdedit" steps booted from the Windows 7 DVD disc image) to no avail. I don't know what else to try at this point ... -

On starting up my new iPhone 4s, it freezes on the apple logo. I have tried the reset buttons trick and have tried restoring again too but neither works. Any other ideas? Or is the phone simply corrupt in some way?
Did you try to connect in recovery mode and restore without using the latest backup?
Recovery mode and How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If setting up as new device does not work, you'll have to get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store.
Did you try to remove the ipsw firmware file and restore, to make iTunes download a new copy from Apple?
Those files are located here:
Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your iPod or iPhone. If those files are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file to a different directory. This will cause iTunes to download a new copy of the IPSW. When a restore issue is specific to a user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:
Mac OS X
iPhone
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
iPad
~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
iPod touch
~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates
Note: The tilde "~" represents your Home directory.
Windows 7 and Vista
iPhone
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
iPad
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
iPod touch

i was texting and locked my phone and now it wont turn back on and i tried charching it and everything.. any other ideas?
Try reseting. You may lose everything on phone though
To reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
'Home Button' is the Black depression in the Iphone that you can press
'Sleep/Wake Button' is the black raised area at the top of the Iphone -
Any other ideas on the reception issue?
I am wanting to ask if anyone else has any other ideas on fixing the reception issue?
I just got off the phone with an Apple "Supervisor". He agreed with me that the software update will only correctly display AT&T's signal that I am getting. He agreed that it will NOT remedy the dropped calls that alot of us are now getting with the use of the new iPhone 4. He also agreed that I either need to hold the phone differently or pay extra money either to Apple or to another manufacturer for a case that I have never used on previous iPhones.
So, I am not going to return my beautiful new iPhone 4, but I do want to find out if anyone else has found anything else to remedy this problem without doing anything listed above. I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but I am tired of dealing with the big corporation that Apple has become. The same corporation that now, only cares about the number of iPhones and "Bumpers" sold as opposed to the customers satisfaction that purchased their iPhones.

Message was edited by: Denverk1972I don't have any problems either, with or without the bumpers on... it would be nice if ATT had mentioned where in particular their network was having the issues... also I've seen a lot of reports from the UK re the reception problems and one carrier's sim card (which is slightly too big and is shorting the antenna) seems to be the culprit in some cases...
AT&T's statement is below
"AT&T has come through with a statement on reports the company has been capping upload speeds for iPhone users.
In a statement we first spotted through D: All Things Digital, AT&T is describing the problem as one pertaining to a software issue.
AT&T informs that a software defect some Alcatel-Lucent equipment has been crippling 3G HSUPA performance, and says that vendor is working on a repair, though a schedule isn’t forthcoming just right now.
AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent jointly identified a software defect — triggered under certain conditions – that impacted uplink performance for Laptop Connect and smartphone customers using 3G HSUPA-capable
wireless devices in markets with Alcatel-Lucent equipment. This impacts less than two percent of our wireless customer base. While Alcatel-Lucent develops the appropriate software fix, we are providing normal 3G uplink speeds and consistent performance for affected customers with HSUPA-capable devices."
