I updated to Mountain Lion and can't access most of my photo libraries , both Aperture and iPhoto
After updatiing yesterday I cant access my libraries, I get two different messages, one says :"Aperture can't access this Library' "to use this library , make sure its file permissions are set correctly". The next one says "Unable to write to library iPhoto Library 2
check that you have permissions to write to the library directory.Any ideas what I have to do tho get access again.
I have been having the same issue, although the external drive is not an array. It's a multi-disk setup where the drives are manually duplicated using Super Duper, although it could be set up as an array. The suggestion to remove the external drive(s) from the system, spinning them down, then plugging them in worked ONCE. After that, the next time Aperture was relaunced, the problem resumed. And now spinning them down or taking them out and restarting them, even restarting the Mac, has no effect. I'm testing to see if moving the Libraries to another drive and reformatting the drives in this external enclosure before bringing the libraries back will have an remedy. It may be there needs to be a firmware update to the external enclosure in order to work properly with Mountain Lion.

Okay, so I can't upgrade to Maverick because it's incompatible, nor do I happen to have thousands of dollars to dish out for a new Mac. I can't even find the next upgrade. Every time I click "Software Update" it finds nothing related to this. And it's also really important for me to be able to use iPhoto which lately just gives me the rainbow wheel of death even though I've tried several fixes.
There are no software updates for Lion (10.7) past 10.7.5.
If your machine supports Mountain Lion (10.8) you can buy it at the Apple Store. They'll send you a redemption code via email and you can use it at the App Store to download Mountain Lion.

iPhoto is not part of the OS and each of those apps can be purchased via the App Store. -

my macbook pro (with retina) has stalled whilst installing an update of mountain lion, the blue bar has stopped progressing, it has frozen and hasn't moved, I can't cancel the installation, I can't shutdown the computer, can't restart it, nothing...help!
Thanks for sharing...
To the OP - I had a upgrade from the App Store 'stall' on me last week - I couldn't even Force Quit the App Store app. I ended up just powering down with the power button and when I logged back into the App Store, the update finished downloading in seconds and I was ready to begin installation.
Try that and see if it works for you...

Ever since updating to OSX Mountain Lion, I can't access my FCPX files
When I went into FCPX after updating to OSX Mountain Lion, I was told I needed to update my FCP files or they wouldn't play. I clicked update and left it running all night (I have a lot of large files). The next day, after rebooting, I tried to access my files, but when I click on the "reel" symbol to load a project, the Apple wheel starts to spin endlessly. It goes on for hours, and finally I have to force quit the program. Everything appears to be there, but I can't bring anything up or work on projects. The second the program starts, the wheel starts spinning.
Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.) -
My screen brightness used to adjust itself and if not I could use f1 and f2 keys. After my last upgrade of OSX Mountain Lion, these do not seem to work. Does somebody know what happened and how I can return to the original situation?

Digidesign midi timeout in mountain lion but can't access library files
Hi,
I have tried installing an old version of Pro Tools before realising it was not compatible with Mountain Lion. I have deleted all the drivers I could find but every time I try to use Garage Band, I get a Midi timeout error. M-box 2 and M-box Pro 2 are still showing in my Other folder in the Finder but I can't seem to be able to remove them and I suspect they're clashing with Garage Band. I have tried the various options offered in this community to access Main and User libraries but no matter what I try I can't get the Library folders up and therefore remove these plug-ins. Can anyone help, please?You download all of Apple's software and OS's using the App Store app.

I would like to setup a new messaging service between my employees because we have issues with most online services. I'm thinking of getting a Mac Mini Server, so I can run Messages Server, but I have an employee outside my network. Can they login to the server remotely to use the Messages Server?
ThanksIf you're talking about setting up and using the Jabber messaging service provided by OS X server then yes, it's really easy to set up and use in and out of the office. The only trick it is, and also most other services, is a correct DNS setup so you're able to connect and use the server from the "outside".
I use this myself (via Lion server rather than Moutain Lion server) from behind a dynamic IP addressed ADSL line and have no problems whatsoever. -
If I select Aperture as the option to sync for photos I can't select photos from the Pictures folder. Currently I have my photos synced to Aperture but I want to add photos from Pictures Folder. It doesn't really look like it's possible to add stuff as it would delete my photos from Aperture if I resync with the Pictures Folder. Really frustrating because I don't want to have to add those photos to my Aperture library as I'm currently moving away from using Aperture to Lightroom. So all my older photos are in Aperture but most of my newer images are saved in my Pictures Folder. Thanks for any help with this.
DarciHi Lawrence,
Thanks for that... I thought of that, of adding my iPad Pix as a subfolder of Pictures and syncing to Pictures but I remember many versions of iTunes' ago that I could add folders. Can I still do that or has that option gone? If the option doesn't exist then I suppose I will have to use folders and subfolders.
The thing is, I have iPad Pix as one folder then another folder of Pictures with various subfolders within it. It's a couple of those different subfolders I want to sync as well as iPad Pix and I don't want the hassle of moving and syncing specific folders etc... it really would be easier if I could sync more than one folder at the same time. Hope it's possible...
Thanks,
