I'm trying to install dropbox on my MacBook Pro. The "permissions" page won't take my password. Any advice?

Dropbox install issues

Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Do you have a retail disc with a picture of a Snow Leopard on it, or is it a gray disc? If it's gray, did it come with the machine you're trying to install on? If it came with a different Mac, it won't work.

Try on a different computer. If you get this error again, go to an Apple store or call AppleCare. I've only seen this error once, & I was unable to solve it. Took the phone to the genius bar & they replaced the phone.

You need to either upgrade your OS or buy install an iWork 09 DVD. If you're using a Core 2 Duo or better Mac with at least 2GB of RAM, it's cheaper to buy 10.7 or 10.8 unless you'll also need to upgrade any other software such as Microsoft Office 2004; neither OS supports PowerPC applications. If you're using a Core Duo Mac, you must buy the iWork 09 DVD.

Trying to install Boot Camp on MacBook Pro (late 2011) os x Lion

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to install Boot Camp for my MacBook but when I get up to installing the Windows support software it just stops at around 20% and won't go any further. I've tried restarting the whole thing a few times but it still won't move at all. It's very frustrating as I need some software for one of my University papers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Error while trying to install safari extensions on Macbook Pro Retina

Dear All,
Yesterday I had to re-install Mountain Lion OS on MacBook Pro Retina. Everything went smoothly however after the installation process and updating sytem to the newest possible version, I am not able to install any Safari extensions. I was trying to find any information in the internet about this but so far I am unsuccessful in solving this issue. I am currently running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.1. I would be grateful for any help.
Best Regards,
Jan

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Trying to install Win 7 on MacBook Pro with OSx 10.9.3 and computer does not recognize install dvd

I'm using a 2009 MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.3 and I am trying to install Win 7 using BootCamp 5. I've been able to install BootCamp before using the original Win7 install dvd on this computer but ever since I updated it (not sure how many time, its been a year or so since I last used BootCamp) and started using BootCamp 5 its been giving me problems reading the DvD. I know my internal DvD reader works because I've imported music recently but whenever I get into the very first step of BootCamp 5 (Download Support and Install Windows option screen) I click next with only install windows option checked and it tells me to wait for the DvD to be recognized when its already in. However it does come up with the option later to open with/eject the "blank DvD" which is the Win install DvD. Any ideas on how to get around this issue?

2. Attempting to download latest version of Photoshop CS5 fails.
     a. Downloading CS5 from Adobe.com requires pre-installing Adobe Download Assistant.
     b. Adobe Download Assistant can be downloaded but cannot be installed because it requires pre-installing Adobe AIR.
     c. Adobe AIR can be downloaded but won't install. Sometimes it issues error msg saying it requires most recent version of Adobe AIR, other times there is no screen activity after attempting to install from <AdobeAir.dmg>.
2. There is no option to turn off automatic graphics switching in Energy Saver System Preferences on this computer, so that suggested solution does not work.
3.   Turning off (unchecking) "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep" has no effect — still unable to install AIR.
This is a nightmare. The reason I bought this computer rather than a less expensive model was to run Lightroom (which did install OK) and Photoshop CS5. HELP!
Robert
My suggestion would be to reinstall Lion from zero. No update.
I did that, and now I can install / uninstall Air without problems.
The installation takes about 20 minutes...

Trying to install PS4 on new MacBook Pro. I have already installed PS 3 extended. When PS4 asked for my PS3 serial number will not accept # on back of my PS3 case?

I have PS3 and PS4 installed on Mac 27", but when I try to install PS4 on my new MacBook Pro will not accept Serial # on my PS3 Extended case. Even though I have PS3 Extended installed!! Tried Serial # with and without dash, but neither works. Had both installed also on my MacBook Air OK but I wiped intend installed new OS. Not clear why PS4 not accept PS3 Serial # despite the fact that PS3 Extended already installed with the correct Serial #.

Photoshop 3 and Photoshop 4 for the Mac were released in the 1990s before Mac OSX and will only run natively on the Classic Mac OS (OS 9.x or older). They may run under emulation in "Classic Mode" on a PPC Mac up until OSX 10.4. They will not run on any Mac with an Intel processor nor with OSX 10.5 or newer. Same with Photoshop 5 and Photoshop 6.
Photoshop 7 came with both Classic and OSX versions, but will only run on a PPC-based Mac, or an Intel Mac up to OSX 10.6.x with the Rosetta emulator
Now, to clarify the naming of versions;
Photoshop CS = "Photoshop 8.x"
Photoshop CS2 = "Photoshop 9.x"
PS CS and CS2 came as OSX versions only and will only run on a PPC-based Mac, or an Intel Mac up to OSX 10.6.x with the Rosetta emulator
Photoshop CS3 = "Photoshop 10.x"
Photoshop CS4 = "Photoshop 11.x"
PS CS3 and CS3 came as OSX versions but run on either a PPC-based Mac up to OSX10.6.x with the Rosetta emulator or an Intel-based Mac, at least up to Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.x (the latest I have tried personally)
As for upgrades, you can go back about (3) revisions to use the old SN for an install; e.g. a PS 7 SN can be upgraded to PS CS3 (10.x) but not to PS CS4 (11.x). So, there is no way PS 3 could be upgraded directly to PS CS4 (11.x)

Trying to install Windows 7 to Macbook Pro (late 2011)

1) Have installed bootcamp 5
2) when I attempt to download "Windows Support" to 8g usb, after 20 min. it says "can't download windows support software
because fo a network problem
NEED HELP, THANKS IN ADVANCE

Sometimes it's not possible to download the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant. In that case, you have to download the drivers from the Apple site.
If you are trying to install a 64-bit Windows 7 edition, you have to download this Windows support software > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Follow the steps of the website to burn it to your USB drive. Then, install it after installing Windows 7 in the MacBook Pro
If you are trying to install a 32-bit Windows 7 edition, you have to download > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630

Trying to install FCS2 onto a macbook pro running 10.8.2

I know there are threads regarding similiar situations but without 10 hours to read them all, I thought I would just ask..
I have a fairly new macbook pro running 10.8.2, trying to install FCS2 from install cd...I am getting the PowerPC no longer supported message...I do not have a way to downgrade my operating system..
Is there any other solution?

Here comes ROSETTAMAN to save the day!
Use Pacifist to install it:

Or read Jeremy Johnstone's blogpost about using Terminal to install it (I personally think that Pacifist is easier...):
