ICal won't launch on mbp running OSX Lion 10.7.4

iCal on my MBP won't launch iCal or Mail. When selecting each I get a 'dock logo' bouncing once or twice but no response after that. Any thought's?

Good evening Ferd 11
Thanks for the advice. I tried the Safe Boot with no luck, however, the 'client combo' update has worked and Mail and iCal is now up and running.
I wasted 3 hours today at Apple's Genius Bar in Sheffield, UK, in our 5 minutes of conversation the 'muppet' suggested I went home backed up and did an 'erase and install' on the HD.
Pre iPhone/iPad the tech service in our Meadowhall store was first class. As a working pro photographer I was able to build up a relationship with the team, nothing was too much trouble! Good times, they had a guy called Al, weird hair cut but top bloke!
Many thanks for your hepl again, Shaun

ICal won't launch in Leopard

After installing Leopard earlier tonight iCal won't launch. Whenever I try to open it I immediately get an "unexpectedly quit" error message. I've repaired the permissions in disk utility but that didn't seem to do anything. Any help would be much appreciated. I depend on iCal.

Look for files in a com.apple.ical...plist format. trash them and restart iCal.

ICal won't launch after 10.5.2 upgrade

my iCal won't launch after 10.5.2 upgrade. it won't even give an "unexpectedly quit" message, it pops up then quits, then nothing. This happened immediately after the upgrade today. I got the leopard disc out and did an archive and install then it worked perfect, no issues, then I did a software update (since I was back to 10.5.0), and installed the 10.5.2 security upgrade, now iCal will not launch, am I the only one with this problem?

I had the exact same problem -- doubled events and could not edit anything. I flushed the cache as describe in some more detail here: http://www.tipstrs.com/tip/2506/iCal-problem-with-Leopard-Upgrade and everything started working just fine.

Have a macbook pro running osx lion, connected a kindle fire using micro usb to transfer pictures and the disk icon won't show up on the desktop. When I ran disk utilities the kindle does show up there. Any thoughts as to why it's not recognizing?

Have a macbook pro running osx lion. Connected a Kindle Fire using micro usb and the disk icon doesn't show up on the desktop. Also sometimes get a message sayiing computer doesn't recognize device. When I opened disk utilities the Kindle disk does show up there. What am I missing?

Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

What exact model MBP do you have? Was Lion the installed OSX when new?
Have you tried a restart?
Have you tried a Safe Boot?

1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When its download finishes, close the installer and open Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable USB drive with Mountain Lion.
2. Press Option key while your Mac is starting, select the external drive and open Disk Utility.
3. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
4. Close the window and install Mountain Lion

iMessages comes with iOS.

There was a time when Messages Beta was available for Lion, but not anymore.
Best.

Problems running OSX Lion

I bought a 13"macbook pro running OSX lion 10.7.3 with 2.4 ghz i5 & intel hd 3000 in the ending 0f 2011.I am completely new to Mac.
1)Last time when i tried to start my laptop. it freezed in the start up screen with speening wheel over half an hour.so i restarted it pressing Shift to open disk utility.after repairing & verifying disk,it started normally.But it started to show numerous notifications like-
Insecure Startup Item disabled.
                      “/Library/StartupItems/BRESINKx86Monitoring” has
                      not been started because it does not have the proper
                      security settings.
2)i had this problem more than one time when installing new applications. It says-
                                                      System extension cannot be used
                                           The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/
                                            CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext"was installed
                                            improperly and cannot be used.Please try
                                            reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an
                                            update.
OK
This time after the first notification i started Onyx & excuted for Automotion. It started normally it freezed with progress bar written with 'Deleting misc it
ems...' for more than two hour. somthing must be wrong so i force quitted it.Then the second message showed up & after entering 'ok' each time the last massage continued to come up with other kext files--
“/System/Library/Extensions/KLog.kext”

3)Also another problem remains, although i tried multiple times to take "MacBookPro2011EFIUp2.7" through software update; it takes the update,installs it,but after automatic restart no grey screen appears showing progress bar etc. etc. as told in the update. the funny thing is every next time i open it shows that update again.Which means it's not installed at all. i checked whether it's an appropriate update for mine model,but its alright. Can anybody please help me?
For your convenience-my 500 GB hard drive is almost full(~40 GB remaining) & i have only one partition. Would it be better if i create a different partition on it with OSX ;keep it 50% free all time & keep all other things in the other partition?
Kindly let me know if there is any other solution without reinstalling lion cause i don't have a network connection which can be of over ~1.5MB downlink speed.

I suspect this is the cause of your problem, your downloads didn't complete correctly.
Your going to have to take the machine to a very fast and reliable Internet connection +5Mb p/s download speeds all to yourself and perform a #18 Reinstall Just OS X
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Them from there you check on the other fixes, wait for updates for your third party software to work etc.

I am running OSX Lion 10.7.4 and the computer no longer will go into sleep mode when I close the cover What happened with this option?

I am running OSX Lion 10.78.4 and the computer will no longer go into sleep mode when I close the cover. In system preferences I can no longer find the option that allows for this energy saving feature. What happened to this option and why is this no longer happening with the latest version of Lion?

No external monitors or devices attached. When you mention that this function only works when devices are attached that is true when you set up your preferences that way. Up until my upgrade to Lion the computer would always go into sleep mode when I closed the lid. There also used to be an option to check in system preferences that allowed you to choose this option. My question for the discussion is what happened to that option and how do you get the computer to sleep or at least the display to sleep when you close the lid as we have been able to do in the past. Thanks.

Read here > Known Issues | Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
And go to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the PDF Browser plugin to the Trash.
Quit Safari, empty the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. You should be able to view PDF files now.

I have a MBP running Mountain Lion. Tried to install Mavericks, but it keeps telling me that my disc is used as time machine backup, and cannot install Mavericks, any help appreciated

I have a 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. Tried to install Mavericks, but it keeps telling me " cannot install Mavericks because disc is used for Time Machine backup". I tried disabling TM by issuing the command in console " sudo tmutil disable local". Still no luck. Is there a way of erasing all the time machine backups from my system disc?
Thanks.

Thanks Matt. I tried erasing the "Backups.backupdb" folder. It does not allow me to do that, inspite of "sudo"-ing. I ended up installing Mavericks on another disc, and use disc migration assistant to transfer my data, before swapping out the old disc from the MBP.

HT201178 With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will there be support for a late 2006 iMac (currently running OSX Lion

With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will apple be supporting a late 2006 I mac currently running OSX Lion?

Ahhhh. Well, now you have earned a "Slap Kappy" coupon good for one slap. Expires in 30 days.
The 64-bit kernel thing will leave a lot of use behind. My main machine is a 2006 Mac Pro on which I've spent some money putting in two 4-core CPUs and an ATI 5770 GPU in the past year. If I want to run ML I can't do so. The only options I have for a desktop Mac is either a newer Mac Pro model - post 2007 - used or refurbed or a recent or new iMac. This assumes the Mac Pro line may be dropped. Apple has been very mum on that.
Clearly, Apple wants to get users of older hardware to buy new machines in order to run ML now and in the future. Because it is possible to boot the older models with the 64-bit kernel via some hacking, Apple might have been able to install ML on them by adding some code and retaining 32-bit drivers where needed, but they've chosen not to take that route. I think it's a bit of a marketing ploy to help drive up sales of new Macs, but I appreciate that Apple has chosen to abandon legacy support in the past in order to avoid having an OS like Windows - bloated by support for older and older hardware.

please can anbody help or advise?

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:
Calibrating Your Aperture System
