  • When I go to system preferences expose and spaces is not there for me as an option. What can I do to restore it?

    I have tried to fix permissions and restart and that did not help it show back up and I have also deleted the system preferences cache and still nothing. What can I do?

    I also miss the grid layout of spaces.  In fact, I'm considering downgrading back to Snow Leopard just to get it back.  I used to use command+arrow keys to move around in my grid of spaces.  I used to use a hot corner to initiate spaces, then another hot corner to initiate expose while "zoomed out" in spaces.  I used to be able to click any window of any app in any space and move it to any other space.  I used to be able to move an entire space to another location. 
    Now I've upgraded to Lion and I cannot do any of that.  Serious downgrade, serious loss of efficiency.  I've taken the time to learn how Lion handles all this.  I've taken the time to change options to try to make MC more efficient.  Simply put, it's a downgrade that breaks something great from Snow Leopard.
    For example:  Initiate Mission Control while on desktop 1 and I see a window on desktop 2 that I want on desktop 3.  In order to move that, I have to first switch to desktop 2, initiate MC, then move the app.  Not to mention, if that window were under another window, I'd not be able to see it at all! 
    For example:  In SL, to go from space 1 to 9 on a 3x3 layout, I could use command+right, down, down, right.  On Lion, I have to use comand+right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.  seriously?  Sure, I could use command+9 (if that's even where Lion decided it wanted to keep the app!), but I prefer the efficiency of using 1 hand to do the keyboard shortcut. 
    Tell Apple you want the option of having spaces in a grid again.  Who knows, maybe if enough of us do, they'll bring it back: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

  • I have the original cd for acrobat 8 pro.  It was installed on a previous computer that melted down.  Now I cannot get it to reinstall on my replacement desktop.

    There doesn't seem to be any valid or capable help from Adobe support to fix this.  I was on a chat with a supposed Adobe tech for 50 minutes and we were still at "Hi How Are You?"  This is not what I call good customer support.  When it was obvious this person (probably offshore somewhere) was completely inept at helping me he told me that the "experts" on the adobe forum could fix this problem.  I'm not only frustrated but lack confidence this is where to get the answers I need to get this product working again.

    The case number for those of you associated with Adobe is: Your case number: 0215287205

  • HT204347 I CAN'T KEEP MY MACBOOK PRO FROM SHOWING APPLEMAIL WHEN I START UP.  I HAVE GONE TO SYSTEM PREFERENCES, USERS AND GROUPS, AND THERE ARE NO LOGIN ITEMS LISTED. WHAT DO I DO?ERENCESS,

    I cannot keep my computer from showing applemail mailboxes when I start up. When I go to system preferences, users and groups, login items nothing is listed.  If I try listing mail and then restarting and deleting it, that does not work.  What to do next?

    System Preference > General
    At the bottom of the section "Number of recent items"
    uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
    Best.

  • HT1420 I use two MacBook pro, two iPads and two iPhones. Upon connection and attempt to synchronize photos I receive a message that my authorization limit is exceeded. I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit.

    I use two MacBook pro, two iPads and two iPhones. Upon connection and attempt to synchronize photos I receive a message that my authorization limit is exceeded. I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit. One iPhone and one iPad show in the authorization list. iTunes wants to delete my purchased programs and books from the iPad to continue synchronization. What can I do?

    Ok, now I do wish I could edit....
    I forgot to APPLY the network settings for the USB cable to work. Connected thru USB I can tether.
    So, I kept playing, and playing some more...
    I had previously unpaired everything, and gone as far as removing network devices HOWEVER...
    I didn't remove the Ethernet, Firewire or Airport Network devices.
    Now, I have done so. I REMOVED EVERYTHING
    No pairing, no network devices.
    Bluetooth was already turned off, and I rebooted.
    I turned off tethering and rebooted the iphone.
    I turned on bluetooth (on the MBP), I turned on tethering. I browsed for the iphone. It said I was already paired???? Ok, repair AGAIN, and THE IPHONE SHOWED MY BLUETOOTH TETHERING BLUE BAR at the top of the screen!
    I opened a web page, no go... d4mn, I was close...
    Opened network preferences and the created a new bluetooth PAN and voila! Internet back on the MBP. I am about to reinstall the ethernet and airport (I can live without firewire for now) and see what happens.
    Basically, the link I posted two posts ago, I had already done that, but I NEEDED to remove ethernet, firewire and airport as well...
    So MAYBE it's fixed, we'll see for how long. I'm not going to mark this as answered for now, because basically, it has failed for no reason, and I want to know why...
    Hopefully someone can come up with something, but having to delete and reinstall all pairings and network devices (to me) is not really a solution, it's a workaround (at best).

    I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS).  Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one.  But I want it to sync with my stuff.  What can I do?  I haven't been able to find help anywhere online...  Thanks!

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • When i go to System Preferences and click on Desktop and Screensaver the computer goes to that screen but gets stuck and does not respond no matter how many times i try. Any suggestions?

    When i go to System Preferences and choose Desktop & Screensaver the system locks up and will not show any options. All i get is the circle of color and have to do a force quit. Any suggestions?

    First follow the instructions in this support article.
    If an iPhoto or Aperture library is the source of your desktop pictures, it may need to be rebuilt, or you may need to update the application to the latest version.
    Otherwise, continue as below.
    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following items to the Desktop, if they exist:
    Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the items you moved to the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items.

  • How do I split my albums in iPhoto, so not albums to bee seen, only 1?

    How do I split, or seperate, my albums in iPhoto, so not all albums can be seen at once?? This, if I send the link to someone, about +one specific album+.
    Some albums are for other eyes only.......
    Now, it seems, that everybody can see ALL the albums, after they have received the link for just 1 album.....
    Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you're referring to MobileMe albums created from iPhoto bring up the Info window while viewing the gallery and click on the Change Settings button.
    Next check the Hide album on my gallery page checkbox and set the Album Viewable by: to Everyone. Now you can send the URL for the gallery to visitors and when they go to the gallery they will not see the other albums.
    Click to view full size
    This will give you a galley like this one: Space Station Photos. It's isolated from the other albums in my gallery.

  • I am new to Mac and am wondering if I make an Album in iPhoto  by moving similar events that have been dated into the album will they just merge or will the events move into the album and keep their date

    I am new to the MacBook Pro and am wondering if I make an Album in iPhoto by using events that have titles and dates will I loose the titles and dates??I had hoped to combine my ie. 2010 Trip pictures  Grandchildren pictures etc but do not want to lose the dating of them.
    What advice does anyone out there have for a program to add text to the pictures. I have been using Paint Shop on my PC but want to switch totally to the MAC
    Thank you

    1 - iPhoto is a database and there is a learning curve - it  is all about photos and nothing about files - under teh help menu ==> iPhoto help watch the movies - that will help get you started more smoothly
    2 - there never is a reason to go directly into the iPhoto library - do not do it (inclusing via the all images display in teh finder) - doing so can cause loss of data and photos
    3 - preview or a third party editor can add text to photos
    4 - events are very basic automatic automatic things and generallly it is best to leave them as buckets of photos and organize via albums and folders - and using keywords, faces and places and smart albums
    5 - dates are part of the metadate stored in the EXIF fields of the photo - moving a photo will not affect that (but note that file managers like the finder do not look at the photo metadate - they look at teh file metadate which is seperate

    Help! I have recently updated LR5 and before doing so I was able to email files to clients! (Very Convenient) Now my problem is I have not been able to get pass this error message reading "failed to send" which gives no further detail about what to do to rectify the situation. Someone please guide me through this! Thanks in advance!

    Did this ever get resolved, as I am having the same issue.  Trying to learn LR5 AFTER a decade using Aperture.   I was able to set up a validated account but when I try to send an e-mail or photo I get the simple " Failed to Send " message.   Using latest version of Mac OS X.

  • I currently have no sound from my internal speakers. When I go to system preferences, internal speakers is not an option - there is nothing there. What should I do to fix this?

    I don't know what to do - I don't have any sound coming from my internal speakers, and with headphones there is still no sound coming out. When I go into system preferences under sound, there is nothing there - it says 'no output devices'. What should I do?

    MacBook Pro model?
    Hard to suggest a solution without knowing the model.
    The following tips may not apply to latest MacBook Pro 13 inch model.
    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

    You may need to force close all open apps, then restart the phone. If necessary, you may need to reset the phone after that.

  • I have osx 10.6.8 and have lost the side scroll bars on Safari.  When I go into System Preferences there is NOT an "always" option for displaying Scroll Bar.  How do I get it them to display again?

    When using Safari the scroll bars no longer appear on the right hand side.  When I go into System Preferences the option to Always have the scroll bars displayed is NOT there.  How/Where do I go to get these to show all the time?

    It SHOULD be under the General tab in System Preferences:
    (Note that this is a Mavericks screenshot, but it should be there in Snow Leopard, too, if indeed you're still running 10.6.8 as your profile says)
