I have just relocated to Africa and brought my 21.5" iMac along... when I plugged it in, using a power bar with a surge protector, I went to turn on the computer and received an incredible shock. It happened a few times, so I didn't turn it on. Help?
Do I need to purchase a voltage regulator for it? I spoke with someone at the Apple store in Vancouver, and he told me that the machine should convert itself. Is this correct? Should I turn it on or will I blow up the machine? Has anyone had this issue? I would appreciate your help. Cheers.
Hi! Thanks for the reply..
No, I do not get any prompt whatsoever.. I can move the mouse but cannot click on anything.. Just frozen screen, can't close a window, can't click on apple symbol on top to try to force quit an app..

I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message "speech synthesis server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please can you advise me what to do next? Thanks
Something went wrong with your upgrade.
Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. -
I have a Dell Inspiron with Win-7. I had FF on it but too many conflicts developed so I deleted FF.
Only I miss FF a LOT! And I want to use it again.
Can you help me out? Will FF run on Win-7?
And what do I have to do to make it happen.
I have a Laptop too. I'll be going to it after we get the Wireless Router working.Your title line is certainly not a true statement. It is certainly also used for "Enter", it depends on what you are doing. It also is used for entering the highlighted choice in a dialog window and is part of the reason why my middle mouse button is set to "Enter". Old keyboards used to have two separate keys, one for new line, and one for Enter.
Perhaps if you explained where it is giving you a problem we could provide a more reasoned answer -- may not be what want, but there is probably logic behind what you get.
Of course Firefox can run on Windows 7, it would not be popular if it couldn't.

You can make '''Firefox 6.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 6.0, look like 3.6)].

There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional. -
I need help as I am new to IOS.
Currently it is not showing anything after I plugged in the hdd to my mac book.I had the same exact issue, which you can see in another forum.
I "killed" both my MBP and my wife's MBP by plugging in my iPhone and getting a message about USB drawing too much power.
It was not fixed by using an SMC reset.
I DID fix it by unplugging the battery, I left it unplugged long enough to remove the RAM, HD and put some RAM and HD back into place. (I initially swapped the RAM and HD from my MBP into my wife's MBP.
After that everything was good, although upon first boot, some apps crashed because of the "system date" being set to a date before 2000. I forget the exact date, but it will be some time in 1984, the birthdate of the Macintosh. It is not a big issue, just correct the date and time.
If you are curious about that date, copy a large file on your drive and look at the CREATED/MODIFIED date....it will show this same date, until the copy is complete, at which time you will see the correct one.
Once again, try to disconnect your battery, very carefully by lifting up the connecter evenly on both sides to avoid damaging the connector or the board. -

Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears:
"The licensing of the product does not work"
Fault 6
How should I proceed?
Have the program installed on only one computer.Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.
Run the License Service Update.
Mac OS X 10.7 and above:
a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg It will extract the folder. Open the folder.
b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
c. Double-click Applications.
d. Double-click Utilities.
e. Double-click Terminal.
f. Type sudo python
Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery111 folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return.
It should look like this:
h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
(Note: the cursor will not move and you will not see stars or dots, just enter your password anyway.
i. Let the script run, it will tell you when it is finished. Quit terminal and restart Photoshop

iPad1 has just gone off. Battery was on 40%. No life when I plug it in to the mains nor when I attach to computer. Only had it since March 2011
Many thanks for this information; iPad is now back up and running. As I'm in the UK the iPad ,via the respective digests,is the only way I can access "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report". So truthiness still prevails.

G4 just replaced power supply , it powers up , but the screen is not on and the mouse and keyboard aren't on either. A few times the computer came on with screen working but then it froze up, can't do any type of reset cause of keyboard not working. Help! Pressed pmu button already, nothing ,.. Ppc g4 Mac
Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
Yes.
Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
Reseat is also good.
The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
Never an issue.
Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
Want cheaper, try this:

The NEC chipset is the desired chipset, regardless of what OS the maker says is compatible.
OS X has native NEC chipset USB support. -
I have just reformatted my drive and reinstalled creative cloud and lightroom. When i open it, it says there is another version running the catalog and i have to switch to it to fix the problem, but there is no other version on my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Where did you put the LR catalog?
Did you install the same version of LR, which one?
OS and version?
Open the folder where the catalog (*.lrcat) is located. If you see a file with lock in it while LR is not running, delete it.
Now try to start LR again. -
I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?
Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud. -

I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

I have just purchased Apple TV and an ipad, i have uploaded my itunes to icloud from my pc and activated sharing, i now have all my tunes on the ipad and pc and all have a little cloud with a red arrow next to them so all seems well, but when i go on Apple TV, and i'm all signed in and all boxes checked, i click on music, my music, and all files are empty, should i not see my itunes and be able to play them from my apple TV, or have i misunderstood what the cloud is for.?
Any answers please. Apple TV 3rd Gen, Ipad Air.Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't play music from the computer if there is none there. If you are using iTunes Match you should now be able to download and play all your music on the Apple TV from the music feature on the main page. -
I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?
And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.
