  • I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • Hi, I hope someone can help.... When I open a new user account, which I want to set parental control on, the screen keeps freezing once the account is open. The wee rainbow circle appears and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
    Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.
    Does this happen if you just try to create a new admin user???

  • HT1199 Hi. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks on Macbook air. Every time I open the app it hangs right there and I can't do anything on it. I've uninstall and install it back again but the issue still persists. Any help please?

    HI. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks. Everytime I open it up it just hangs right there and I can't do anything with it. I've deleted the app and installed it back again but the problem sitll persists. Any help please?

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

  • I have a Iphone 5c and the screen light open when I press a button but nothing appears on the screen and I can't do anything

    I have a brand new Iphone 5c since like 2 weeks ans just today this happened, Cell is full charge everything is good i'm using it and then put it in my pocket for about 1hour and when I pick it out it don't work anymore !! the screen doesn't work like it lights up when I press on any button but I can't see nothing the screen stay black and I can't do my code to unlock it or even answer a phone call !!

    You have voiceover on. First try tapping the home button three times fast to turn it off.
    If it is still on the gestures are different. You tap once to choose an item then double tap the item to activate it. Remember everything that was one tap is now tap then double tap. Start with the lock screen. Tap, then double tap your code. Swipe with two fingers to open, if the screen doesn't slide with two fingers try using three.
    Tap then double tap each of the following. Settings> general> accessibility> voiceover > off.
    Good luck.
    Edit. I'm not sure if you need two fingers to slide to unlock. Try with one finger. If that doesn't work try two.

  • Every program opens as iTunes, it has taken over and I can't access anything. Help?

    All of my desktop and menu icons now show as the iTunes logo and when I click on them they open as iTunes. They still say what they're meant to be in writing underneath but they all open as iTunes. When I uninstall iTunes it goes back to normal but I really like using iTunes and I'd like to know what's going on. I don't want to have to uninstall.

    First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
    File Association Fixes for Windows 7
    Does that get your icons back to normal?

  • After Firefox updates I can see my tool bars, but the screen below is blank and I can't do anything in Firefox. I says "Done" in the lower left corner. What's up?

    Following the automatic update of Firefox, which happens when I open it, it often occurs that I can't do anything in Firefox. All the tool bars appear, but below is a white screen. When I click on a bookmark, nothing happens except the word "Done" appears in the lower left corner and the screen remains white.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • TS1702 Hi, I have just tried downloading Facebook app on, but the app store has frozen and I can't do anything on the screen. Shall I just try turning it all off and back on again? Thanks

    Hi, I have just tried downloading the Facebook app, but the app store has frozen. It will not let me click on anything. Shall I try turning it all off and back on again? Or is there something else I need to do.
    Thanks, Rebecca

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I have Airport Utility 6  but AU asks for 5.6 and I can't go back and the Ute doesn't find my base station.

    I did hard and soft reset the base station but then I get this ms.
    I cannot install AU 5.6 because I'm running OS 10.8.2.  What can I do?

    It is possible to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.

  • My iPhone just turned on after some damage but the brightness will not change and I can't see anything how do I change it.

    My iPhone had water damage and I have had it in rice for at least a month. This morning it started to play music and I got so excited. I plugged it up and left it and when I turned it on the brightness was all the way down. So I thought I just left it this way by when I tried to change it my phone said it was all the way up. I would want to use this phone again how do you change the brightness?

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Also, plug it in to mains power and let it fully charge.

  • I have IOS7. When I text message someone it freezes and I can't do anything.

    I Have ios7. When i text message it freezes. How do i fix this.

    Gather up the original receipt for the purchase of the iPhone by your business and
    documentation to prove you represent the business. Either contact Apple in your location
    or take the receipt and documentation to an Apple store to see if they may be able to assist you.
    If your business deals with an Apple Business Representative, contact that representative
    for assistance.

  • On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

    On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

    Click on the Hot Corners..  button and look at the four definitions.  In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop.  Set it to "-" to deactivate.

  • IPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens.  I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive.

    iPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens.  I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive. Anyone have ideas on how to get to them?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

    You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
    You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
