I'm trying to upgrade 9.0 academic version to 9.1.7 to use on a new MacBook pro. When I try to do incremental upgrades to 9.0.1 or 9.0. it says I don't need them. When I try to upgrade to 9.1.7 it says there is no version eligible to upgrade.

I'm trying to upgrade Logoc Pro 9.0 academic version to 9.1.7 to use on a new MacBook pro. When I try to do incremental upgrades to 9.0.1 or 9.0.2 it says I don't need them. When I try to upgrade to 9.1.7 it says there is no version eligible to upgrade. This all on the older MacBook currentlu running 9.0. But I need to upgrade to 9.1.7 to transfer it over tp the new MacBook w/ Retina display.

I think I just got it. I had the actual Logic Pro.app in a folder called Logic Pro inside the applications folder. When I moved the actual app out of the folder and into applications it worked. I am in the process of updating now. However it seems a little strange because that's how it installed from the discs - into a folder named Logic Pro within the applications folder. I would never have figured that out on my own. So thanks for those who posted solutions to other users similar requests.

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility. You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply. You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler. If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish. However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
Ask again. I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice. As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities. At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

I am trying to open a garageband file that my friend sent me, but she has a newer macbook pro than I do, so I can't open the file because it says I need to update garageband. I installed the updates but it still won't let me open it. How do I fix it?

The newest version of garageband can't be downloaded on my computer because my operating system isn't new enough, but I can't find a link to download a newer version of garageband than the one I currently have (garageband '09 version 5.1).

What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

Have PS Element 12 using it with new MacBook pro. When I edit and save a photo in jpeg format, and try to e-mail it, it has a duplicate but ghost image underneath, and I don't want this second image. How do I get rid of it?

Unwanted ghost image underneath edited file. Need to solve!!! Have not experienced this with my old CS2. Please help.

Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

Why does namcap say I don't need stuff I definitely do need?

I have developed some bash scripts using ffmpeg, imagemagick's convert, yad, and lots of other tools that I had to explicitly install, but namcap claims I don't need to list any of those dependencies. It's called silentcast and makes it easy to create a variety of animated gif recordings of the screen. I haven't put it in the AUR yet because I'm still working on the README.md, but the package is basically ready for use and available on github: https://github.com/colinkeenan/silentcast/#silentcast. I created the animated gifs in that README.md with silentcast itself.
Anyway, I was listing all the dependencies in a table in the README.md and realized I had missed a lot of stuff so added more. Then, still worried I had missed something, I read the wiki to find out how to test for missing dependencies and discovered namcap. First, I tried running namcap on PKGBUILD, but that didn't do anything. Next, I did a makepkg -s and ran namcap on the package just created. Here's what namcap has to say:
namcap -i silentcast-1.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
silentcast I: Script link detected (bash) in file ['usr/bin/genffcom', 'usr/bin/silentcast', 'usr/bin/temptoanim']

silentcast I: Dependency covered by dependencies from link dependence (sh)
silentcast I: Dependency covered by dependencies from link dependence (zlib)
silentcast I: Depends as namcap sees them: depends=(bash python)
So, namcap thinks I only need bash and python! This is crazy. All the stuff I listed as dependencies are explicitly called in the bash scripts or imported in the python script because they were needed in that script. Many of these I had to install myself and were certainly not included with bash and python! Why is namcap saying I don't need this stuff?
It occurs to me that maybe I haven't properly created the PKGBUILD so that namcap thinks the dependencies are covered by installing the various included scripts. Do I have to somehow make it clear all those scripts ARE the package? Here is my PKGBUILD.

colinkeenan wrote:The specific answer I was looking for and hoping namcap would give me had to do with xdg-open from the xdg-utils package. I use it to open the desktop's file-browser. On the Packages page for xdg-utils, optional dependencies are listed according to what desktop it's being run on. So, for example, I use Xfce and it lists 'exo' and 'xorg-xprop' as optional dependencies. I have no idea if those optional dependencies are actually required in order for my script to open the file-browser in Xfce.
How can you not know? Do you use exo or xprop in the script or not? If you only use xdg-open, then only specify that as a dependency. Users can then figure out which specific tools they wish to use to satisfy that dependency. I use my own replacement for xdg-open, and if I wanted I could package it listing "xdg-open" in the provides array so your tool would then call my xdg-open replacement tool. It's not up to you to worry about how other users chose to implement xdg-open unless your scripts depend on a specific implementation.
Much the same could be bash. If your script uses a bash hashbang, then bash is a dependency. If you use a "sh" hashbang than any shell will do - but then you must use only posix shell commands and conditionals - there are a lot of "bashisms" that will not work in other shells (e.g. the [[ bash builtin for conditionals). But even if bash is a dependency it does not need to be listed: you should not list dependencies that are in base or base-devel.
On a related question that you touched on in this thread, you do not need to list recursive dependencies. If you list python modules that have python as a hard dependency, then you do not need to list python. But just like the 'bashisms' example above, if you use a specific version of python (2.7 or 3) these are generally not compatible. The modules might not care which python is installed to meet it's needs, but your script may require a specific implementation of python. In such a case, you'd have to specify which python you used in addition to the python module(s).
EDIT:
Bear in mind I just whipped this up on the spot, and I have no idea how reliable it is - but in principle the following line should find dependencies for any script or anything else for that matter - provided that simply running the script/command will use everything that is required:
pacman -Qqo $(strace ./script 2>&1 | awk '/^(open|stat|access)/ {sub(/[a-z]*\("/,"",$1); sub(/",/,"",$1); print $1}') 2>/dev/null | sort -u
This is assuming the script is in the current working directory and named "script". I'll put together a more flexible and useful version momentarily.

I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

My iPad says I don't need an update when I do.What's up?

My iPad is crashing constantly. It says I don't need an update even though it is older - 5.1.1. I can't find a way to upload a newer version to see if that's the issue. Diagnostics at crash is telling me it's low on memory. Any suggestions as to the issue? The fix?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing. With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

HT4437 U-verse says I don't need APPLE TV to use Air Show. Apple instructions say I do. Which is right?

U-verse says I don't need APPLE TV to use Air Show. Apple instructions say I do. Which is right?

If you mean AirPlay, you can only wirelessly stream video (either the iPad's screen or an app with video out) via an Apple TV or a computer running software such as Reflector or AirServer (the computer would be connected to the TV). There are other devices, including Apple's Airport Express and a number of third-party audio receivers and speaker sets, that can stream audio only.

I am trying to sync my iPhone to my new macbook pro and it says that it is synced with another iTunes store which it is... is there any way i don't have to delete my content?

I am trying to sync my iphone 4s with my new macbook pro and it says that i need to erase the content because i am connected to another itunes store, which i am but i dont know if i want to erase my content.... any sugustions???

"would it work if i backed up or restored my iphone on my macbook? "
No.
"The computer it is synced to is a dell"
So, copy everything from the Dell to the Mac.
Your iphone will be erased and the content replaced with the content from the new computer. You need to amke sure that everything is on the new computer.

I have a new mac book pro and the os x mavericks says I don't have this and it won't install. What do I do? Thank you.

If you have a new MacBook Pro, it should already have Mavericks (10.9). To verify, click the Apple logo in the top left corner and select "About this Mac". What does it state for version?

FCE won't open on my new MacBook Pro - says I need a Quartz Extreme Card

I just bought a new MacBook Pro Laptop, and since I was having lots of hardware and software related problems with my old one, I clean installed everything rather than transferring things through archive.
Anyhow, I was initially able to register and install FCE from the original disk and then downloaded and installed all available upgrades. I opened it up, tried "Log and Transfer" to upload some video I'd shot on my Canon Vixia HFS10, and it worked fine. I saved and closed, but now, next morning when I tried to open FCE to edit my video it wouldn't open. A "Minimum System Check" came up that said "This system does not meet the following minimum requirements: Final Cut Express requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme Capable Video Card." I'm pretty sure that my NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT cards meet the requirements and that Final Cut Express just doesn't recognize that they are much better than the minimum requirements it is programmed to look for. How can I fix this? I saw another thread on a similar topic suggesting that someone delete their FCE, and then perform a clean install, but that's effectively what I've just gone through, and I'm not in the mood to spend a couple of hours seeing if the same thing I just did fixes the problem I have now. This seems like something that would be an easy programming fix, probably a simple modification to a preferences file, but I wonder if anyone out there has the solution?
Message was edited by: nate.andersen

No, I have FCE 4 - should have said that - and it worked on my older Intel based MacBook Pro.
As it turns out, though, I think I've solved the problem, adapting a solution to a related problem I found on MacRumors.com. Don't know why this is necessary, but here's the solution I tried:
1. right click on the FCE application icon and select "Show Package Contents"
2. open the "Contents" folder and then open the "info.plist" folder in Text Edit
3. find the line that says: "<key>AELMinimumQuartzExtremeCapable</key>," and replace it with "<key>AELMinimumGeForceCapable</key>", and then make sure that the next line says "<string></string>" without any number specified. Or, if you have some other kind of graphics card that you know is compatible, you could say what that is instead of GeForce. I found it doesn't work just to delete this line completely.
Again, I don't know why Apple didn't build in this flexibility when they updated their standard Graphics cards, but in any case this solution seems to work.

Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.

Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work
