I trashed my Aperture preferences, so now I can open Aperture. The dialog box says Welcome to Aperture. Will I still have my old Aperture Library?
I can open Aperture now, but since it says Welcome Aperture, I just want to make sure my old Library is there still. I don't want proceed until I know my photos are safe. They are backed up on Time Machine and a Cloud service, too, if I need to retrive them. I had a problem where my computer shutdown during a rebuild/repair, but when I re-boot, I couldn't open Aperture. Any advice will help.
I have looked in my Picture folder and see "Aperture Library", but not "Aperture Library.aplibrary". Are they the same?
Have you set the Finder to hide the filename extensions? Then enable the extensions to be shown in the Finder Preferences (Advanced tab):
You could also have hidden the extensionin the "Get Info" panel for the Aperture Library:
Can I open this new "Aperture Library"? If I do open this new "Aperture LIbrary," will my old photo library be there?
If that library only has been created yesterday, it is unlikely, that it will contain your photos. How large is this "Aperture Library"? If it is very small, only a few MB, then it is probably a default library, that Aperture has created, when it could not find your regular library. But if it has several GB, than it can be your Aperture Library - then double click it to open it and see.
If your old "Aperture Library" is not in your Pictures folder, enter ".aplibrary" in the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen.
Does that turn up more libraries?

I have an iPod nano (3rd generation). I've recently dowloaded iCloud. So now when I open iTunes the window is entirely different. And I don't have the previous menu options. I have downloaded audiobooks for years. Is it not supported by iOS5?

I've had my iMac put away for about a year, now I can not remember the admin password upon startup. And I don't have the installation cd's (of course)! Is there any way to re-boot, re-do, get into my Mac to change it. I don't remember it even w/ the hint
Call Apple with the Serial and they will send you the ones that came with the Mac. Or search the Net.

I just downloaded 18.0.1; but now I can't use the search box feature on Start Page.
Encouraged recently by Mozilla to update older software. Prior to this had no problem inputting information into the search box of Start Page, clicking "search" and then receiving information.
Now, clicking "Search" does not respond.hello dkcurt, first please see if installing the search reset addon can resolve the issue: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ (a restart of the browser is necessary afterwards).
otherwise try the following steps in order to manually restore the search function on the default homepage:
#go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information and click on profile folder/show folder. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''chromeappsstore.sqlite'''.
#then enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''' - right-click and reset that entry to the default value.
#restart firefox -
Where can I report this to Apple, I've just spent 20 minutes trying to find some way to contact them.
Sorry Gimp, but in fairness you didn't solve my problem, you got the points though (accidentally).
It may well have worked, but just downloading the Combo update directly from Apple did the trick. This answer from Scott Newman put me onto it.
However, in this case, there is very clearly an issue that is correlated to two things: 1) Using the automated "Software Update" as compared to downloading and using the separate Mac OS X 10.7.3 Combo Updater; and 2) Certain Mac notebook computers. In most cases, but not all, running the Combo Updater over a failed 10.7.3 update using Software Updater will fix the problems. If a user can't get to the desktop or can't download the updater because of the previous failed update, there is information (albit geeky) in the previously noted thread to deal with this.
Most older, experienced Mac users never trust the automated Software Update process for system updates and always download and use the related "Combo" updater. Unfortunately, many newer Mac users know nothing about this. Apple's revenues and profit growth have come at the expense of having an exponentiall increase in the number of non-Geek users who just want their Mac to work like their toaster.
Thanks very much for your replies though -
Updated firefox to latest version with custom install, no task bar or startup (in past I think I usually included startup) late Friday nite. Then when trying to open Firefox shortcut on desktop Sat. could not, would freeze up. Then if I tried to open IE same would happen. After rebooting a # of times, opened IE 1st and worked but still could not open Mozilla within IE or the desktop. Also all our 3 wireless laptops including apple have no problem with this.
You said you tried the recommended solution, but didn't mention what that solution was. Try, from the Firefox menu bar:
<br /><br />
Tools -> Options -> Content
where you will find an option to block pop-up windows. If that box is checked but there are sites from which you would like to allow pop-up, click the button "Exceptions..." to add sites to your exception list.

I accidentally unchecked "Tap to Click" on the Trackpad preferences and now I can't click on anything!
It happens to me ALL THE TIME. I'm getting pretty sick of this! It didn't start happening until maybe a month ago. I'm pretty fed up though!
And NOW. This is great. Ever since installing iLife 09 my keyboard randomly stops working. Sometimes I can bring it back by closing the display and then opening it again.
The crazy thing is that these issues are TOTALLY random. I've been on here for hours and nothing has gone wrong. Then out of no where...with no other applications run or doing ANYTHING I haven't been doing for hours...it all starts to go wrong. First it's tap-to-click in this pattern of working-not-working. Then it's the keyboard goes crazy.
I'm doing a large backup of everything at the moment. Then I plan on running disk utility from the installer disks and see if that helps. If it doesn't I'm uninstalling iLife 09 to start with and after that i don't know what.
I'm just REALLY tired of this! -
I manually deleted back-ups from Time Machine and now I can't empty the trash
I manually deleted back-ups from Time Machine and now I can't empty the trash.
Using Finder (deleting Time Machine backups) to manage Time Machine files is a mistake. The remedy is somewhat easy, but you will lose all the files on that TM drive.
If there is nothing elese on the Time Machine drive, try reformatting the drive with Disk Utility. This will effectively remove the files from that drive from the trash. If you have files on this drive, temporarily copy the files to another drive, then reformat the TM drive. -
Help I have put some folders from timemachine in the trash and now I can not empty the trash can. I now realised I took the wrong action to delete these folders duh! but i canot work out how to solve the problem I now have, can anybody please tell me what action to take?
Hi Linc
Thank you for your reply. It did not work at first, I think there was just to much stuff. In frustration I held ctlr, alt and cmd keys down then empted the trash and it worked! I had to repeat the process several times as only a few folders were delt with at a time. but now are all gone.

Moved my iTunes library to my new 2TB time capsule, now iTunes can't find the Time Capsule.
Had my iTunes library on my older 1TB Time Capsule. Just bought a 2TB Time Capsule. Moved all the music from the old to the new. But, iTunes tells me now it can't find the server. I've checked the location of the library on the iTunes preferences, to point iTunes to my server. I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't find my server. I've already added the folder on the server to my login preferences, like it was with the older Time Capsule.
I did everything exactly as before but now iTunes can't find my Time Capsule.
Should I have just pointed the login to the server and not the exact folder? I've been working on the solution for an hour now.. Please, can someone here help me?What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

I was trying to click a link in Gmail, but the "Block" bubble popped up and I accidentally clicked the "Block" bubble instead of the link. Now I can't click the "Attach File" link in Gmail and I can't figure out how to unblock the link.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I clicked the small, yellow "Block" bubble.That sounds like an AdBlock Plus blockable element tab, right?
Try removing the ad blocking rule from Tools -> AdBlock Plus Preferences.
Find the rule that looks like Gmail ("My Ad Blocking Rules" should be at the top), select it and press the Del key or right click and choose Delete. -

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos
Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Unfortunately, I lost by an update all the apps on my iPad 2. Now I can not pull the data from the cloud to my iPad. How is this possible?
If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad? If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.
Refer to these articles for help.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software.
If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
You can also download the programs again.
If you live in a country that supports re-downloading apps then you can re-download them. You can refer to this article for more help.

iTunes in the Cloud Availability -
I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?
I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again...
