I performed a clean install, and upgraded to Yosemite. Now iPhoto is gone.

I recently performed a clean install of Yosemite and I am able to install all my old apps expect iPhoto.
It reads, "iPhoto failed to download" "Use the purchases page to try again". Ive ben trying for the past 5 hrs.
I have a good strong internet connection, I am signed in to app store.
This is the only app that will not install.
Please advise

If a partial download is hanging, have a look at the Launchpad. Is there a progress bar below iPhoto?
Then wait and see, if there is any progress. If not, delete iPhoto from the Launchpad:
Hold down on iphoto until it wiggles and you are seeing a cross in the upper left corner.
Click the cross to uninstall.
Restart your Mac to clear the App Store caches.
Reload the App Store "Purchased" page by pressing ⌘R.
Then try to download iPhoto again.
Another problem may be a firewall interfering. Disable Little Snitch or similar.
If all fails, try the download again while running the Mac in Safe Mode. That will disable non-standard extensions. See this, on how to start-up in Safe Mode: Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode

Clean Install and upgrade of MBP 13"

I've recently noticed that my MBP 13" 2010 has become really sluggish. It takes a lot longer to buffer commands and open apps. I use Logic Pro X alot and sometimes Final Cut, so for my main workstation to be sluggish with quite CPU intensive apps is really annoying!
I was wondering if there was any way to upgrade the CPU. I doubt it, I know, but what's the harm in asking?
Secondly, would a clean install with upgraded hardware be a good idea for updragding? I wanted to install an SSD and HDD with the SSD containg the OS and Logic and a few programs. I don't really have anything of value on my current HDD and don't want to go through the process of cloning, so a clean install was my first thought
I've upgraded the RAM to 8gb, but you can't go to 16gb, can you?
I've thought about getting a new Mac (both iMac and Macbook) but they too expensive. A hackintosh was the next thought but they seem unreliable.
The SSD and HDD combo could work because I'm running out of space on my 320gb HDD and that might be a benefactor, so a faster SSD for a few programs and 1tb appeals well! Upgraded RAM and CPU (though unlikely to be possible) will be done if the Macbook can handle it/can be done!
Thanks for any help or comments in advance!!!

No. Only by purchasing a MBP with a faster CPU can you obtain more speed.

As far as the data is concerned, that is you decision. An SSD will enhance performance.

Yes, OWC has demonstrared that 16 GB RAM will be accepted by a 13" 2010 MBP:
http://blog.macsales.com/16302-some-2010-mac-owners-can-get-more-ram-than-they-t hought
I would urge you to purchase the RAM from them. It will work, if you purchase from another vendor it MAY work.

That will not be discussed here, Illegal.

A 1 TB SSD will serve your needs well.

Upgraded to leopard, now iPhoto is gone

Hello,
I upgraded my parents' computer to leopard (my mum tried and messed a bunch of stuff up so I just wiped it all and started afresh) and now iphoto is gone. We used to have it on this computer, and when I upgraded my computer iphoto came with it. I'm not sure how to fix this and since iPhoto is one of their favorite features I really need to fix it soon. Does anyone have some advice?
Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It’s on the System Restore disks that came with the computer. Isert and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only’.

My hard drive recently crashed and I had a new one installed and upgraded to Yosemite since then I have not been able to get on my banks website to do online banking. Any suggestions on how to get back on there?

My hard drive recently crashed and I had to have a new one installed, at the same time I upgraded to Yosemite since then I have not been able to get on my banks website to do any online banking. I just get a blank page after I log onto the bank. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Using Safari? Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

Server used to be listed on Remote Access web page before installing and configuring RemoteApp. Now it's gone.

I am new to RemoteApp. I have been using WSE 2012 R2 for some time, mainly for the remote web access web site. I would log into my site (<my name>.remotewebaccess.com/Remote). Then, I would see my server listed under "DEVICES".
I would click on the tile for the server, and the Dashboard would open.
I just followed a tutotial to install the role for RemoteApp publishing. It looks like it worked. I now go to my RD Web App site (<my name>.remotewebaccess.com/RDWeb), and I can log in and see my RemoteApp. But now I cannot
figure out how to get to my server's Dashboard, because when I go to my main web acess site (that ends with "/Remote"), the server is not listed under devices.
Ideally, I would like to see all of my computers, including the server, on the main Remote Web Access site. Also, it would be great if I could see my RemoteApps there too. But I don't know if that is possible. Can anyone help me get
to that state, or know if what I want is possible? I want everything on the same web page:
Devices
Shared Folders
Links
RemoteApps

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that DEVICES tab disappears from Remote Web Access website after RemoteApp
configured. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
à
But now I cannot figure out how to get to my server's Dashboard, because when I go to my main web acess site (that ends with "/Remote"), the server is not listed
under devices.
Did all users encounter the same issue when access RWA? Please open Dashboard and navigate to USERS tab, then
click the problematic user account and select View the account properties. In Properties of this user account, please navigate to Anywhere Access, then please check if Computer option was checked in
Show selected links on Remote Web Access. Meanwhile, please also use an administrator user account to check if this issue still exists.
In addition, please follow the path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs\WebApps folder and check
RemoteAccess log file if find more clues.
Hope this helps.

Performing a Clean Install

I, like many others before me, have noticed some lagginess with the core animations (expose, minimizing, dock magnification) after doing an upgrade installation of leopard. I want to perform a clean install, as people who have done this say that it really helps with this problem and other speed issues in general.
What I would like to do is perform a clean install and then reload all of my documents and applications back onto the disk. What is the best way to go about doing this? I am also interested in freeing up some HD space so it would be nice to not have to do a full restoration.
Would it be unwise to try and selectively restore items back to my drive using time machine? Should I just do a clean install and then a full system time machine restore, or would that just bring back my same speed issues?
I'm just looking for a little insight into what would be the best and safest way to go about a clean install. Thanks a lot!

Use CCC (carbon copy cloner) to clone your system to an external firewire connected hard disk to a partition that is slightly larger than the in use size of your MBP disk.
Verify that you can boot from the clone.
Disconnect the clone disk.
Do an erase and install on your MBP hard disk.
Apply all of the software updates.
Reinstall any purchased applications that you use.
Connect the cloned disk.
Move your data from the clone to the MBP using finder on as as needed basis.
Keep the clone until you are satisfied that you have recovered everything that you need (3 months to a year).

Moving from XI R2 SP2 to XI 3.0 - clean install or upgrade?

My company is currently using Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 SP2 and they want to move to XI R3.0. Is there any benefit to completely wiping the previous version and doing a clean install compared to trying to use the upgrade process?
I'm still fairly new to this product so I don't know whether we do anything considered out of the norm. I presume we can back up our files/settings from R2, and them re-import them into R3.
If anyone has any advice as to what is the better approach I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi,
I am going to be running the upgrade on a demo install next week. It is a single box installation, so the upgrade should work. If it does not I will be falling back and creating a clean install, and upgrading the db. Finally if this is not successful I will be trying to use the import wizard.
I will update with the progress.

While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?

While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?
Originally I was running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion. I created a backup in Time Machine, performed a clean install of Mountain Lion, then I proceeded to use Time Machine to restore the back up.
When thinking about the essence of a back up restore, it occurrs to me that for all I know, I may have just wated my time IF Time Machine also restores all the old unneeded files that remain from Lion after an upgrade.
Since the backup was made while running Mountain Lion as an upgrade from Lion, did restoring this backup defeat the purpose of a clean install by reinstalling old Lion files?
If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?

Hello John!
Thank you for your response which solved my problem. For other users who may stumble upon this, I'll clear up the confusion and share how I solved the problem with your help; When looking for answers to my computer problems, finding unresolved questions where person B offers a solution and person A never comes back and says "That worked, thank you.", it demonstrates a "k-thnx-bye" user mentality that leaves others with the same problem lost. Without further ado:
It is not clear what you did because the meaning of "clean install" is vague. You can erase a volume and install an OS which leaves none of its previous content intact,
This is what I did: I erased the volume leaving no previous content intact, while then installing OS X Mountain Lion.
or you can upgrade an existing OS (or reinstall the same one) which does not alter your user - installed files.
An upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion is what I started with initially before erasing anything. This was undesirable. Since this can cause Macs to run slower (especially whereas I'm using a mid-2011 Mac Mini), my goal was to go from operating within an upgrade to Mountain Lion, to operating within an installation of Montain Lion that was not preceded by any other oprating system.
Hence a "clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files" is confusing.
Well put and understood. What I should have said was:
1.Erase the volume
2.Install Mountain Lion clean
3.Confirm that Mountain Lion is functioning properly
4.Proceed to use either Time Machine or Migration Assistant to Import/Migrate/Copy over only two things; My old apps (That had been stored originally in the designated Applications folder) and all files and folders originally stored in the home folder under users.
If you restore from a Time Machine backup then all modifications that occurred subsequent to that backup become erased. It renders moot any OS X upgrade performed subsequent to that backup.
That makes sense and is just as I later suspected.
If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?
Yes.
This is what I did and everything works perfectly. Thank you so much once again!

Cannot perform a clean install of CF 10 - ODBC Agent and ODBC Server are not in Services - Win2k8 R2

I've tried to perform a clean install on a Win2k8 R2 x64 server several times and I can't seem to get it to install.
I was upgrading from CF 9, which took several attempts. I eventually got CF 10 working and running with the latest updates. But the server would only run for about 15 minutes and everything would come to a screaching hault. ColdFusion pages would fail to load with no error. The pages would hang and wait for the server to respond, which it never did. Restarting IIS would fix the problem.
I have about 20 CF sites on the machine. I came accross an article that talked about pool sizes, etc. I ended up trying a few things with the Web Server Configuration Tool, and as I was adding/deleting servers, I got an error that some application unexpectedly quit, but it wasn't the wsconfig tool. This happened about 3 times as I was deleting servers that I had previously added. Then I tried loading the CF Admin and I got a 500.0 internal server error.
So I bit the bullet and figured I would start all over again. I uninstalled CF 10... now there's nothing on the machine. Re-installed CF 10, and I get the same 500.0 Internal Server Error. I uninstalled, restarted, installed... same thing. Then I found an error in the event viewer that reads:
The description for Event ID 0 from source ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server error: 0
StartServiceCtrlDispatcher Error!
Then I found out that neither the ColdFusion 10 ODBC Agent or the ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server have been installed... at least they're not showing up in the list of services. msconfig also shows that they don't exist at all. I tried reinstalling several times and I can't get them to show up.
PS: It's 6:15 AM and I've been working on this since 10 PM last night. I NEED HELP! Thanks!

Hello,
Once you move your application from any prior version of ColdFusion to ColdFusion 10, you will have to tune your application, as the architecture changed from JRun to Tomcat.
You can refer to the article http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/tuning-coldfusion-10-iis-connector-configuration for parameters, that needs to be tuned appropriately to make CF connector works flawlessly.
Hope this helps

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud? That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!

Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
Answer:
Sounds like either:
A directory problem on your internal HD. Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Something in OSX may be damaged. You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that). See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2? I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

If the bank account permits, I suggest getting a 1 TB SSD anyway. One cannot have too much storage.
Unless you are having issues with your current installation, a 'clean' install is not necessary. It would be more efficient to clone your current drive to the new SSD, test it, and then do the swap. The installation of Mavericks over Snow Leopard can be done either before or after the cloning process.
Ciao.

I wonder if the disk being referred to is actually your iPod which is not plugged in. Maybe something has stuck thinking the iPod should be there.
Try completely removing all the iTunes related programs according to this method.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Restart you PC and see if startup improves.
If it doesn't improve you need to consider the possibility that there is something else going on.
If The problem goes away, hopefully a fresh install will be OK.

Performed tiger clean install on old pbg4 and no ilife

Hi all. I just performed a clean install on my old pb g4 (titanium) and now have no iphoto, imovie, etc. apps. I don't have a copy of the ilife disc as I've always just received my computers with the apps on them. How do I get these apps without having to buy new ilife 06? I don't have original discs that came with computer as I got it used.
Can I use target disc mode to move apps from my new macbook c2d to old pbg4? Both are running 10.4.8.
Thanks...:)
macbook c2d g4 ibook, graphite ibook, ipod Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The Tiger retail install package does not include iLife which is sold separately or included with the Tiger install package that ships with a new Mac.
The apps included with the Tiger retail install package are listed here.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/
Was an iLife version included with the install package that shipped with this Mac when new and if so, which version? If yes, you no longer have the install package for this Mac?
Or did you purchase iLife 05 or 06 separately and no longer have this install disc?
Either way, you are in trouble.
Doubtful the iLife applications on your new MacBook are Universal which is required to run the applications on a PPC Mac. More than likely they are Intel binaries only so will not work on a PPC Mac and regardless, doubtful just moving the applications over this way will work.

How to Perform a Clean Install of Panther 10.3

I am currently running Jaguar 10.2.8 (no OS9) on an iMac G3/400, 320 megs ram, dsl internet. I want to perform a clean install of Panther 10.3 (not the upgrade or archive + install). After placing the first Panther disc in the slot, I get a screen on which I click the install icon, I then click the restart, the machine reboots, gives me an installation screen asking me to choose the language, I choose English, then click "continue", I then get a screen telling me I cannot install OSX because the "firmware" is not up to date. I then have to click on the "close" button, then use a pin to get the cd out of the machine. I thought the only firmware update necessary was when you want to install Jaguar over OS9. How can I fix this situation so I can install Panther? I am not much of a techie, fairly new to Mac so please make your reply easy to follow. Thanks.

The firmware update for your model is required for running OS X regardless of which version you install. You will need to install OS 9.1 or later in order to install the firmware update if the computer has not been updated.
OS 9 should have been included with the computer as part of the original software that came with it. You can install OS 9 on the same volume on which OS X is currently installed or you can erase the drive before installing OS 9. After you perform the firmware update you can do an Erase and Install of Panther.
You should avoid using a pin to forcibly remove a disc from the optical drive. Just restart the computer and hold down the mouse button to have the disc ejected. See the following:
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject.
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
