I deleted my media db3 file but I still dont have fx and filters what should I do?
Barbara told me since I could not get my fx and filters to appear when I click them in the full edit mode I should delete my media db3 file and let it repopulate itself after it launches. It didn't, what should do next? I also deleted that file from my trash and it is not in my finder file any more.

Barbara,
That was the problem. Once I changed the read write status of the user acct and then deleted the media db3 file in that user acct and relaunched the program it repopulated the effects and filters pallate.
Thanks so much for ending this frustration.
Like I said I purchased your book on the missing manual for PSE for Mac and I am slowly absorbing its content. Do you know of any helps that I could use to see some of your teachings in a live presentation somewhere on the web?

What should I try next? I have a movie in iDVD all set up to go and it keeps telling me that there is an encoding error, so I have changed it to all three settings but it still wont burn and shows me the same error.
Hi
• Delete iDVD pref. file
iDVDpref. file resides.----> Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iDVD.plist
com.apple.iDVDApp.plist (may be ? - not sure this exist)
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
But there are better ways to do this - but as I'm only in Mac OS X.6.? - I have no hand on know how - but the above way works if carefully done.

Just deleted a ton of files, but somehow I now have less space??
I decided to free up some space on my macbook, so I backed up to my terabyte external drive. I created a disk image through disk utility, and, out of paranoia, manually copied some of my more vital files over as well. Then I went through my regular hard drive and deleted a bunch of stuff I no longer use, or things that I know are backed up in two places. I got rid of a ton of music from my itunes library, photos, PDFs from my download folder, etc. I emptied my trash about three times. But then, when I first opened iTunes after that my library was gone even though I had only scrapped certain files. So I re-populated my itunes library with far fewer files than before and I got an error at first saying I had too many. I also just tried importing some photos from my digital camera, and it's telling me my startup disk is almost full. I am beyond confused- what did I do wrong here? I'm pretty green in terms of best standards and practices for archiving and freeing up space on my hard drive, so please don't be afraid to dumb down your reply.
After deleting files how much free spaces dose the hard drive list being free? After deleting did you try restarting the computer?

I am deleting my files but it does not go to trash? What should i do?
I am new to Mac, so kindly tell me the solution.
OK, I'm going to break down, essentially, what the article said:
Launch Terminal (found in Applications>Utilities folder). At the $ prompt, type (or paste):
ls -la
and hit Return. In the right hand column, you should see .Trash listed and to the left, you will see the "owners" name (in my case, clintondyches). If the owners name shows as root then the following will fix the problem. At the same $ prompt enter
sudo chown yourusername .Trash
(replace yourusername with your actual user name - such as mine being clintondyches).
At the prompt $ again, type or paste:
ls -la
If this was successful, you should see yourusername instead of root.
You should be in business now. You should have ownership of .Trash and be able to empty your Trash, drag items to it and empty it, etc.
Call back and let me know...

It was never jailbroken as far as i know and im not very computer literate, any help would be greatly appreciated
Has it ever gotten wet?.. I'd make an appointment with Genius bar at an Apple store, there's something majorly wrong that a simple 'reset' isn't going to fix...

IPod stuck in 'headphone' mode but I don't have headphones in. What should I do?
My iPod won't make any sound at all. When I turn up the volume it just says that there is headphones in But there really isn't. What can I do to fix it?
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Fix for iphone Earphone Bug
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

Im upset that nothing is working and no one is helping
I have this same problem. The album shows available to download from the cloud, but the 3 remaining songs won't download. The songs happen to be the first 3 songs on the album. The purchase & initial download was initiated via 3G; the rest of the songs were downloaded via WiFi. I have over 20GB of storage available on my iPhone, so it's not a capacity issue.

I just renewed my account services but I still dont have access to convert to word, why?
I cannot convert at pdf file to word document and when I look at my account, it does not appear as if I have just subscribe for the yearly charge on my account.
Hi marielaf40210050,
I have forwarded your issue to the concerned person, however if you urgently need to convert files, you can download Free 30 Days trial of Acrobat software.

Check System Preferences > Sound > Input has the correct device selected and the response bar above half way.
In iChat check the Video Menu > Microphone Enabled item is ticked.
Check in iChat > Preferences > Video section that the correct Mic is also selected here.

I did the software update on my mac, but i still dont have the "App Store" in the dock :(
i really need the app store
i just did that a minute ago.. got sidetracked and played chess, but its not there. My friend said something about lepoard... also does it help if i said im running on 10.5.8?
The Mac App Store requires a minimum of 10.6.6 to run, if you are running Leopard you need to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade. The upgrade is $29 and available from any authorized Apple Reseller or directly from Apple. No you cannot download it, you must purchase the dvd.

How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room). When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room. Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there? If so, how do I do it? Also, on a related subject, why does my mail not sync accross all devices? ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices? How can I change this?
I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem? Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...

I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday. They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule -
i have a license for all adobe files but recently i had a virus and all my files were deleted.Now when i want to have them back with my redemption code it says that i cannot use it anymore.But my license is not expired.How do i get my files back??
Your redemption code was used to acquire an activation code. The activation code is what you need to use when you want to reinstall/enable the software again. Check your Adobe account online to see if the number(s) can be found there.

I deleted my ibooks author file but the preview is still available on my ipad, can I get the ibook back into ibooks author to continue to edit? I have not published anything, just previewed on my ipad but the file seems to be deleted from my imac which is what I was using ibooks author on. Any help is welcome!
It's not a 'process' at all.
If it was easy/straightforward, people would be turning store versions into iBA versions left/right and all **** would break loose. It's not and that's a good thing, sorry
Work up from whatever version you have.
Any work you value should be backed up....period. That backup should be used and tested regularly. Consider this a lesson learned, perhaps. Good luck in the future. -
1: when texting, if I tap e.g. the letter T, occasionally 3 or 4 letters T will follow in rapid succession or when the letter T is highlighted to confirm the letter is correct, it will freeze at that point
. Also, when scrolling through a message thread to find a particular message, sometimes I have no control over stopping at the wanted message - rapid scrolling right back to the first text occurs & often when I then try again, the reverse happens with rapid scrolling (uncontrollably) through the messages to the last message received.
2: My iPhone is not backed up due to insufficient storage. I am deleting a number of files but would like to know what 'documents & data' (17.9KB) under 'PREVIEW' is before hitting 'delete'
Total storage: 5.0GB
last software update: iOS 7.1.1
Many thanks
