Are you using iCloud?
If this were happening to me, the first thing I'd try is to remove the preferences files from your home library folder.
Do you know how to do that?

  • I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

    I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

    If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
    Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

    Hi Peter!
    I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
    Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    * Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
    * At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

    Why suggest "ignore iWork"? I use iWork exclusively now, since dumping MS Office and I like it.
    On its own it's fine, as a replacement for Office it's mediocre. Unable to save in Office format you are pushed into exporting (extra steps) simply to create an Office compatible file. Pages barely renders a Word document correctly (a trait also shared by Libre/Open Office). Numbers is a very poor substitute for Excel (the free ones are better).
    And for all this you are expected to pay, whereas the other alternatives do a better job (with MS Office files) without a financial insult.
    If Office is not in the equation I recommend iWork.

  • I "upgraded" to FF4, now it doesnt work properly, wont open pages, will open blank tabs when i click on a link, tried to go back to the older one but that doesnt work now either, have tested it with Safari and it opens everything fine. Any ideas?

    After upgrading to firefox 4 im now having a lot of problems using the browser.
    if i try an open a link in a new tab it will just open up a blank tab, if i click on links or even type in the google search bar at the top it doesnt do anything, it just says "done" and the circle thing stops as if im on the page already, have tested it with Safari doing the same things and Safari works fine. I'd swap but all my bookmarks and passwords are in Firefox so id rather stay with that.
    I tried going back to the older version of firefox (3.5 or something) but seems the bugs are here to stay now.......so.......any ideas? because its really annoying, shouldn't have "upgraded".
    Is there a new patch coming out anytime soon or should i start getting used to Safari?
    Thanks for your help.

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

  • My iPhoto libraries have been made with older vs. and cannot open them with iPhoto application or Library Manager

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries made with older vs. of iPhoto.  I cannot open any now with either iPhoto or iPhoto Manager, just get a spinning icon.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Microsoft Word 2011 will not open.  I have updated it.  Now Excel and Outlook open, Word still will not.  Can you help?

    Hard drive very recently restored.
    Version 10.7.5
    Word updated to 14.4.4
    I updated, I restarted, I tested everything and everything opens except Word. 

    Hi, Becca,
    Your MS Office 2011 may have become corrupted.  Reinstalling Office 2011 can address problems that you may be experiencing.
    The current version of Office 2011 is 14.4.8. You might try reinstalling MS Office 2011
    First - find your Office 2011 install disc with the product key # - and only then remove Office according to MS instructions
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
    Or go here to DianefromOregon's site for help removing Office 2011:
    http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
    Then Reinstall from DVD
    Then enter your Product #
    After successfully reinstalling Office 2011,  update your Office product using the Software update within Office called Microsoft Update or going to the Help menu within Word or Excel or PowerPoint and select Update.
    It may take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version.
    It should be 14.4.8 as of current date.

  • How do reset my mac? I have a mac that is nulled and cannot open anything except finder and system preferences. I don't have any cd's. How can I completely reset it like it just came out of the box?

    Hey, can someone please help me my mac is nulled.

    If you are running 10.6.8 as shown in your profile, there is no recovery option as that did not become available until 10.7. So you would need your install disks or a bootable clone to boot from. You can usually get replacement disks from Apple; however, you would need to give them your serial number so they send the correct disks.
