I just upgraded to Yosemite. Now when I try to open one particular document in Excel, I get a message that there's not enough memory. I can open other documents. The document I can't get to is the spreadsheet of my passwords. Go figure. When I check the storage under "about this Mac" it says I have 150 GB of 249 GB. I have a MacBook Air. Help please. Thanks, Connie

HT1338 The new update is here and ready to be downloaded to my computer. When I try and install it, I get a message that there is not enough room on my start up disc. I have no clue. I have tried to resolve it and am no getting anywhere. HELP! Huge Tha

The new update for my computer is ready to be installed. When I try and install it, I get a message that my start up disc is full and does not have enough room. I have tried every avenue I can think with no resolve, of course, I am not a computer genious. Can anyone at all help? Thank you so much.

You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.

How do I download a movie to my phone? when I click 'rent' through itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage my local device storage usage in 'Settings'. I have activated icloud, but this has not helped.

How do I download a movie to my iphone 3G? When I click 'rent' in itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage storage on my device in 'Settings'. I have activated icloud, but don't know how to change my storage so that I can rent and watch the movie on my phone. thanks for any help you can give.

I always do my Rentals with the itunes program on the computer.
Make rental from itunes store. It will show in movies under library, DO NOT click to play it. Plug in the device to the computer. Click the name of the device on left. Click on movies. There is an option to copy to the device. Sync. obviously you still need space on ipad to put rental but you can have it take computers hard drive space until you need it.

When I try to open firefox I get a message that it could not open because of a problem with chrome registration. After click close 3 or 4 times, the page that opens up is an "add-ons" , plug ins etc. How do I get rid of that?

Top of page that opens says
Add-ons
Get Add-ons, Extensions, themes, plugins, installation
Restart Firefox to complete your changes Restart firefox

Why is this happening and how do I solve this problem? I am just about ready to switch back to Explorer.

Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed

Why does my Mac keep telling me that there is not enough memory when I need to open Excel?

I have Excel installed on my iMac.
I only use this rarely, mostly when I have grants to write for my students.
When I try to open Excel, to look at an old document, I get the message that there is not enough memory, even though my Mac right now has 74 GB available.
I really, really, really need to access these files, so am hoping for an answer to this puzzle!
Thanks so much!!!

OK, so here's what I did.
First time, I reinstalled Office: 2008. It must have sent the first one to the trash, because there were 9200+files in the trash once it was finished. It looked for updates but didn't tell me that it needed any, so I tried to access Excel again, but got the same error message.
So, then I dragged the whole Microsoft Office 2008 to the trash (it is still sitting there----question about this, too). I reinstalled the whole thing again, but this time, it identified 3 updates that also needed to be installed. I did that, and now, I am able to open Excel!
Now my question about the trash: if I empty the trash, am I going to lose all the files (especially worried about all the Word documents) that I had used the original one for, or, are all those documents, and the Excel files, still there after the trash with the original Office 2008 is emptied; I wasn't able to only drag Excel to the trash so had to drag the whole thing.
Am thinking that somehow those updates were never applied, which is very puzzling, because the first time I reinstalled, it didn't say anything about needing updates, but the second time, it did.
Thank you!

I installed itunes and quick time but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096)"

I installed itunes and quick time but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096). I have removed both itunes and quicktime from my computer and re-installed them and I still get the same message. What do I do to get itunes to work?

That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

As Excel is not an Apple product, I believe you will get more useful help by using Microsoft's support community for Office:Mac here:
Office for Mac forums
They are as active and helpful as these, and sometimes employees from the MS Mac Business Group are available for helping.
Be sure to show which version of Office:Mac you have when posting there. It can make s difference in advice offered.

HT4623 When trying to sync my iphone 5 I continue to get a message that there is not enough room to sync. How do I remove old podcasts to create room

When I try to sync my podcasts to my iphone 5 I keep getting a message that I do not have enough room. How do I create more room by deleting old podcasts?

you just need either to delete apps, videos, and also podcasts until it alows you to sync.
hope this helped you.

HT3523 I can play an .mov file but cannot open it to move it to another drive/disc/etc. When we try to open it, we get a message that says "The movie file for "beanmine.mov" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."

We can play a .mov file (a full-length film created in final cut pro) but cannot actually open it in QuickTime. We get the error message saying that a file is missing, and the movie can't play properly without the file. The thing is, we can play the film, we just can't open it to move it to another drive. Help?
Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?
Help!

Sounds like you created a "Reference" file here. I.e., a "Reference" file is a file that tells the player how to play the data contained in a "Resource" file. When you try to open the "Reference" file in the QT Player app, the first thing the player does is check to see if the "Resource" data file is is still available where it is supposed to be. (I.e., moving/deleting the resource file or moving reference file without moving the resource file to maintain the relative path between the two will generate the error message you mentioned.)
Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?
That depends. Deleting a file does not actually erase the data immediately. Instead, the operating system just tells the system directory that the space containing the movie data is available for reuse if/when needed. As time passes, the chance that some of the data sectors will be re-written by other data continuously increases. To restore the file normally requires use of a special utility that both locates and restores all of the linked sectors containing the "deleted" movie data in their correct order. Other methods of restoring files would depend on the software you routinely have active on your system. For instance, do you use "TimeMachine?" or orther software that automatically backs up your data periodically? If so, then follow the instructions for your particular application to recover a deleted file.

When I try to open Firefox, I get a message that one is already open, though I'm not able to access it. How can I eliminate the invisible version?

I've been having problems with pdf and Firefox on my iMac. In the absence of being able to find an 'uninstall' function (and reinstall with a newer version), I deleted Firefox by dragging the application item to the trash and deleting. Then I downloaded a new Firefox version 5. But, when I try to open it, the above message comes up. This happens even if I shut down and restart. what do I need to do?

I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

When I try to open firefox, I get a message that says, "firefox is already running" and to close it or restart my computer when it is NOT running, so I can't get on the internet through firefox. What is wrong?

The information box pops up when I click on my desktop icon for firefox as well as if I try to access it in other ways. I have restarted my computer. I have tried removing firefox and redownloading it. No matter what I do, it still gives me a box saying it is already running, but not responding. When I pull up my taks bar, it is not running! I can't close it as the box suggests because it is not open to do it. I just keep getting a box saying it is already running no matter what I try to do, even though it is not running.

My iPhoto app was digressed back to 9.5, not sure how I did it. I then went to time machine and restored it. Now when i try to open it, I get a message that iPhoto is on a disk and locked tells me that I don't have permisson to unlock it. Help ?

My iPhoto app was digressed back to 9.5, not sure how I did it. I went to time machine and restored. Now it wont accept my password. tells me it is locked. Can anyone help me?

Run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility and see if that helps.
If not, you can select the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder, go File > Get Info (or Command-i), go to the bottom of the info window and set your permissions to Read & Write. On the Action menu at the bottom (the one with the gear) choose Apply to enclosed items...
