    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

    Hi Paul ,
    It could be a compatibility issue as well as Acrobat 8 is an older version.
    Do you get any error message while registering for the product?
    Try repairing it and once and also check for updates as well.
    Is it happening with all the word files or any specific one'?

  • I had to get a new hard drive and some of my pictures show up but when I go to click on them to open them there is a triangle with an exclamation mark.

    I had to get a new hard drive and some of my pictures show up but when I go to click on them to open them there is a triangle with an exclamation mark. Did I loose those pictures or is there a problem with iphoto

    How about the most likely occurance - something incorrect about how the iPhoto library was transfered
    What version of iPhoto '11 (9.4.3 is the latest)?
    exactly how was your iPhoto library transfered to your new hard drive
    This indicates that there is a problem in the iPhoto database - a possible solution to try is Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
    Why did you get a new hard drive? What kind of backup do you have?

    i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating.  Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,
    Joern

  • I have a 10.6.8 OS and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but when I try the applications tells me my computer can't support it

    I have a 10.6.8 OS and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but when I try the applications tells me my computer can't support it. What does that mean. I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and was told (by Mac Store) that after that I would be able to update to Mountain Lion.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You need 10.6.8 to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but it doesn't mean that your computer is compatible. Mountain Lion is compatible with Late 2008 Aluminum or Early 2009 MacBooks. If you have an older one, you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
    If you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion, open  > About this Mac, and tell me what processor and memory you have got. If you have a Intel Core 2 Duo or newer processor, you can upgrade to Lion. Call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Make a backup of your files before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • 23 mb used on brand new 1G Nano, and other problems...

    Brand new 1G Nano. I followed all directions for setting up, so there was no problem getting started.
    However, as soon as iTunes automatically detected the iPod for the first time, the memory bar at the bottom of the iTunes screen showed 23 mb used, and 889.6 free.
    So, i thought i would follow the reset, restore methods, and see if that would work to clear it out.
    Well, after countless times of resetting, restoring, reinstalling updater, and upgrading iTunes, I still cannot get the iPod to show a clear 1G of memory.
    As well, everytime I hook up the iPod now, all I get on it's screen is "Do Not Disconnect", and the only icon on the desk top that appears is the nano icon with the red circle and bar. Once it's hooked up to my computer, and iTunes is open, and the iPod is detected, the only way I can turn off the iPod, or access the menu screen, is by ejecting it. Once ejected, I can access the menu and everything works fine.
    What's going on?
    PowerBook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1G Nano, iTunes 6.0.4, iPod Updater 2006-3-23

    You can't get that space back.
    The Apple 1GB Nano is advertised as having a capacity of 1 Billion Bytes. (1,000,000,000 bytes)
    Since a true binary megabyte (MB) is actually 1,048,576 bytes, the actual unformatted capacity of the 1GB Nano is really about 953MB. (1,000,000,000 / 1,048,576 = 953MB)
    Since the iPod operating system, formatting and extras take up a small amount of space... you are left with about 892MB of usable space for your content.
    A 4 minute AAC file at 128kbps would be about 3.75MB in size.
    892MB / 3.75MB = 238 tracks. (Apple's estimate of 240 tracks is pretty accurate.)
