1. Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, go to Step 2.
If there's no change after taking this step, continue.
2. Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/var/folders
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "folders" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

In I tunes I can't down load a CD. I get the message "The file couldn't be convereted. You don't have write access for you ITunes media folder or a folder with in it. To change permissions, ... When I do this it still dosen't work.
Thanks C F McBlob but I recursively changed the permissions of my Music directory meaning every file and directory beneath it, as well as the directory itself, had the write permissions added.
I used "chmod -R u+w ./Music" and chmod -R g+w ./Music" to do it.
Alas, no cigar. :-( -

cannot synch my ipod classic. when i try to i get a message saying "file folder cannot be found" or ipod is not recognized. Anybody have any ideas or fixes for this?
Mine is doing the same thing, I have been seeing it happen to a lot of people lately. Maybe it's the company sent out a bug to crash old Ipod, so we would have to buy new ones.

hi!i updated to the latest version of ios and i had a lot of apps saved in icloud and i lost them all with tis soft update! i alo bought some music and i lost it too!what should i do?can someone help me? thank you
If you can't find these songs on your purchased list to redownload them (as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), you'll have to contact iTunes store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

my old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc. how can i make it copy everything?
cheers!The iPhone is NOT a storage device so it does not support transferring it's data to another iTunes library. You can transfer purchased iTunes music and apps, but any music you ripped yourself or purchased from somewhere else cannot be transferred without purchasing some additional 3rd party product.
Certainly in this digital age, everyone is backing up their important data, right? You can take the backup copy of the data on your broken computer and load it into your new one. -

"Went to work on my photos and something popped up that says, file 0ff-line or missing. This has never happened before. Can someone help? thank you!
This means that the photos (or the folders that contain them) have been moved, renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom. On Windows it can also mean the disk drive has changed letters.
To fix the problem see: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders -
When I try to use FT on my MBP, connected to a 24" display, and close the shell, the display camera says it is not turned on. With the MBP open, FT works fine. I have looked and looked for a solution. Can someone help? Thanks
Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.
