I continue to get crashes from my Mac Laptop Maverick. I was running Snow leopard without any hassles and have now upgraded to Maverick. I get continued crashes, on start up or if I am running a program like GoPro to edit video or Firefox. What to do?

I have a fair few more, but all similar. about 35 more!!

  • HT5381 I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and attempting to upgrade to Mavericks....installation completes and a message appears stating that my computer will restart in x seconds.  I then get a message "Application install OS X Mavericks failed to quit". A

    IMac upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks errors by failing to restart computer........after install message states that "your computer is restarting in x seconds"...then window appears that "application install OS x Mavericks failed to quit"...try to log out again, quit install OS x Mavericks and choose apple menu to log out...........this does not work!

    Are you running OS X Server (the forum this question was posted in), or are you running OS X?  If you're not sure what that difference is and why I'm asking it, then you're probably running OS X and are very likely not running OS X Server here.
    Hopefully you have a pre-upgrade backup of your data, on the off chance something has either already gone badly wrong already, or if something goes wrong with the following...
    To force the quit here and to force the shutdown here, press and hold the power button for ~10 seconds.
    If you don't have a backup already and if the box doesn't reboot, then you'll want to boot from the 10.6 DVD (of OS X or OS X Server) and create a backup — it won't be a particularly good backup of the OS X or OS X Server system, but at least you'll have access to your own files and related data.  This backup because recovering from a badly-failed upgrade might involve reinstalling OS X.

  • I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • I have a question? I update my macbook pro but every time I do and I go back to where it says software update it says that if I want to update my pro I just did, and Im using Mac Os X snow leopard is it that I have to upgrade to lion?

    I have a question? I update my macbook pro but every time I do and I go back to where it says software update it says that if I want to update my pro I just did, and Im using Mac Os X snow leopard is it that I have to upgrade to lion?

    It also says view updates, so select that option and see what it wants to update.

  • How do I downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard without losing iWork 09?  I upgraded my MBP from 10.5 (originally 10.4) to 10.6, then again to 10.7.  Should I go back to 10.4, 10.5 or just to 10.6?

    How do I downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard without losing iWork 09?  I upgraded my MBP from 10.5 (originally 10.4) to 10.6, then again to 10.7.  Should I go back to 10.4, 10.5 or just to 10.6? I don't remember which system included iWork 09 and don't want to lose it. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the information!  My sister gave me the MBP for my daughter with Leopard installed.  I purchased Snow Leopard and installed it, then my daughter purchased Lion.  So I do have all the installers.  If iWork wasn't included with any of those, I guess my sister purchased it while running Leopard.  I'll have to contact her.  Thanks again.

  • Can I move Lion from my old work laptop to a "new" one (still running snow leopard) without repurchasing?

    I had an old Macbook through my work that was running Leopard 10.5.8.  After a while, I could not use a few programs on it that I wanted to, and my company was not upgrading the OS, so I purchased Mountain Lion and upgraded to 10.8.4. Six months later, we got upgraded to "new" Macbooks that are running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  My question is, do I need to purchase Mountain Lion again? Or can I transfer Mountain Lion/the license from the old Macbook to the new one?
    Thanks!

    Of course! So simple, I can't believe I didn't even check.  Thanks a ton!
    Edit: crap: I meant to press that your comment solved my question, but wasn't paying attention and clicked my own.... Sorry!

  • HT3819 I have Yamaha a/v receiver connected to network but it does not pickup my itunes from my Mac computer.  My os is snow leopard.

    I have a Yamaha RX-A2010 A/V receiver which is connected to internt but it does not receive my itunes from my Mac computer.

    Well, I see a few things that can be in the way:
    1. MAC address filtering is really not a security measure since the MAC addresses are sent in the clear (unencrypted) and many devices can have their MAC addresses changed easily with software.  I'd recommend losing the MAC filtering and just use WPA2 and be even more secure than you are currently.
    2. If you disabled the firewalls during the install, that may have been a bad thing.  The installer is supposed to create ports through the firewalls during install, so if they are disabled and later enabled, the ports are not there.
    3. Does your printer show up if you type its IP into a browser?

  • I can not get Time Machine to back up an external WD Passport 2 TB drive!  Has anyone else had this problem?  The drive is new and I was running Snow Leopard and upgraded to Lion and it still won't do it.  Time Machine backs up the internal drive fine.

    I bought 2 2TB WD Passport Drives with the intention of housing my iTunes/iPhoto libraries off my older MacBook.  I have successfully transferred the Libraries to one and am using the other one for Time Machine.  In Snow Leopard I could back up my computer to Time Machine no problem but when I did not exclude the iTunes/iPhoto drive the back up fails.  Both drives have been reformatted, permissions repaired and checked in Disk Utility and one was replaced.  I have been to the Genius Bar now 5 times.  I have tried using USB drive and FireWire.  Both drives are recognized and are working properly otherwise regardless how they are connected.  Finally yesterday the Apple store installed Lion to see if that fixed the issue and it did not.  Time Machine successfully backed up a USB Flash drive, and today I will try an older external drive.  Any ideas on what else to try??? Do I have to resort to third party software like Carbon Copy Cloned to get this done?  Any ideas why this wont work?  I am using a FireWire converter but as I said, both drives are working normally otherwise (libraries working, time machine working for the computer's hard drive.  Any ideas would be appreciated!!?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • My imac was running snow leopard and was upgraded to Mt. Lion. My Microsoft Office for Mac now will not open.  SO since my Office was 2004, I just purchased Office for Mac 2011.  Do I delete the icons before loading Office 2011 OR after I load 2011?

    Upgraded my Imac to Mt. Lion and now the Microsoft Office icons will not open WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT, or ENTOURAGE.  I just pruchased on Ebay
    OFFICE 2011 since my old version was 2004.  DO I REMOVE THE OLD ICONS BEFORE LOADING OFFICE 2011 RO AFTER I LOAD IT???
    THANKS, DR PEPPERMINT

    Office 2011 will install in a separate folder. But do not install Office 2011 until you remove Office 2004. It comes with its own uninstalled located in the MS Office folder. Only use the uninstaller to get rid of it. Then install Office 2011.
    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Is there a way to down grade my Mac Pro 5,1 firmware so it will run Snow Leopard?

    If so will it still run Lion?    I believe this machine is the same hardware that ran Snow Leopard 6 months ago.   Brand new Mac Pro 5,1 two months old. 

    HURRAY!!!  Houston we have Snow Leopard!!
    FatMac your post of the firmware data got me digging deeper....   To sum-up
    Prior to the death of the old Mac Pro1,1.  I was in the process of re-building my emergency boot disks.
    As a result my Snow Leopard Emergency Boot Disk (SL EBD) was a fresh 10.6 install.
    The old MacPro died before I was able to update the SL EBD to 10.6.8.  This I of course forgot.
    The new MacPro would not boot from the old MacPro hard drive (10.6.8).  (It must have gotten taken out in the crash).  And obviously would not boot off of the SL EBD.
    Initially Apple told me that the new MacPro would run SL.  But later conversations with tech support emphasized that it would not and it was standard practice to not make new machines backward compatible.
    I assumed I was done-for.
    Thanks to FatMac's firmware info, I investigated deeper and found my SL EBD was only 10.6. 
    The 10.6.8 combo updater will not run from Lion.
    Now if I could somehow boot into Snow Leopard  so I could do an update.  
    I stumbled across a Carbon Copy Clone sparse image of my old MacPro 10.6.8 start-up disk that I had made DAYS before the crash and burn of the old MacPro.   (Am I lucky or what?)
    CCC'd the old sparse image on to a spare hard drive, restarted & Bingo!  I was running Snow Leopard! 
    Ran the 10.6.8 combo udater and updated my Clean Snow Leopard install.   Now I have a virgin copy of Snow Leopard to boot from. 
    I guess I can toss out my Leopard 10.5.6 Boot disk.
    Now I need to make a sparse image of the virgin Snow Leopard boot disk so I can re-install it at anytime in the future.
    Anyone know how to burn an 8 Gig sparse image onto to several DVD's for archiving? 
    FatMac,  the screen capture was the old fashoned way... I pointed a camera at it. 
    Thanks to everyone for their contributions.  
    Today was a good day!!!    

  • Have a New MBP with Lion preinstalled. Need Snow Leopard instead. Have time machine from old computer running Snow Leopard as well. PLEASE HELP!!

    I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Lion preinstalled. I haven't even turned it on yet. I desperately need Snow Leopard because my music software is not Lion compatible yet. I also have a Time Machine backup from my old Macbook that is currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. How can I get Snow Leopard on my new Macbook Pro? Also, will Time Machine replace the applications on the new Macbook Pro with the older versions I have in the backup or how exactly does that work? I've been staring at the box for 2 days now worried I won't be able to use any of my software. PLEASE HELP ME!

    It depends on the build of your machine; normally, no Mac can ever boot from a system older than what it came with. However, there are exceptions: right around the time the new OS is released, there may be some machines which will be able to run both OS's.  Here is some information on software builds:

    You may have to call Apple to figure out if you can use SL on yours or not.

  • Is there a way to access notes from iPhone 4 in Snow Leopard without using Mail?

    I want to be able to access the notes from the iPhone 4 notes app on a Macbook Pro, running Snow Leopard, without using Mail.  Is there a way to do this?  Any good 3rd party software that does it without storing the information in the Cloud?

    You could probably use something like PhoneView
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    but, frankly, I thnk that's more of hassle than just setting up an iCloud or other IMAP account on the iPad.
    Even if Notes syncing is the only feature you use, it's going to be a far more seemless experience.

  • I'm getting faint electric shocks thro my forearms from my mac book pro. Is this normal as its very uncomfortable and tedius?

    I'm getting faint electric shocks thro my forearms from my mac book pro. Is this normal as its very uncomfortable and tedius?

    Sounds like something is shorting out inside your machine or electricity is coming up through your ground wire.
    Do you have a proper ground in your location? Don't open or touch anything with a live current insdie, it can kill you
    The ground is that third plug in the socket, there should be a wire attached to that, perhaps green, that follows to the electrical panel and from the electrical panel to a thick cable that goes outside to a rod driven deep into the ground or attached to metal sewer plumbing (although I think this isn't legal anymore)
    Some people plug their three prong computer power bricks into two pronged (no ground) extension cords, this is very improper and offers no safety protection.
    Sometimes if you have a electrical problem elsewhere in the location, electricity flows back up the ground wire and you feel a slight pain when using your machine with a metal case. This also could be a improperly grounded system. There are ground fault interupters for this you can buy, doesn't let electricty flow backwards, audio people use them to prevent noise coming into their equipment.
    The current level the MacBook Pro's use is very low DC current, you shouldn't be feeling anything but it's possible.
    Have your electrical system checked out by a electrician, also take the MacBook Pro to a more newer location with power and see if it continues.
    If it occurs while on battery, no power attached, then it looks like a MacBook Pro specific issue. Perhaps your battery is swelling.
