Installed Xcodes and now all "Help" topics blank.

In an attempt to play "Myst Online - Uru Live" I followed instructions to install Xcodes from my original install disks. I now have the following problems:
I can't eject the install disk.
All help topics present with blank pages.
Safari will open but also presents with blank pages.
I am currently using the Firefox browser to send this question.
I am not a developer but merely an apple user who is now very much out of his depth.
If it helps, as part of the overall process I also firstly downloaded something called Macports (I think!). The instructions also mentioned something about entering the Terminal and typing a couple of lines of code, but I haven't got to this stage yet. In trying to install Macports after download, I get this message "Either uname or sed could not be found in PATH. Your system appears to be incomplete or misconfigured."
I am running an iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 duo. OS 10.6.8

If I'm allowed to reply to my own question, I restarted the computer (which I now realise is the Snow Leopard OS and not Leopard) and everything is now OK with Help and Safari. I also downloaded the wrong version of Macports, which I have now corrected.
However, as part of my quest to play "Myst Online" I have to open Terminal and type in "sudo port install mystonline-cider", after which I will be asked for my password. The trouble is, after I type in the command and press return, my password is requested, but the keyboard freezes, so I can't type in anything else.

  • I've re-installed Lion using the cmd-r/boot re-install option and now all iLife apps are missing, how do I get them back?

    Hi Folks,
    after about 10 hours of usage, my new (and I mean new and expensive) MacBook Pro refused to boot. The support folks were good and as I hadn't yet created and files on the machine suggested I just did (as suggested by apple) a wipe and re-install as described in the subject line.
    Now I have no iPhoto, no iDVD and a few other apps I don't really care about. What can I do to get them back.
    please help, loseing the will to live here after trawling 2 hours of old posts
    best regards,
    Sam.

    Hi Twitty,
    hmm, I knew I was missing something fairly obvious. I went into AppStore and the apps were there with an "accept" option rather than a price. I've started the download.
    I've no idea if this means I'll be charged or not. I never got a screen with a price on it so hopefully not.
    thanks for your quick response,
    Sam.

  • Upgraded to 5.0.1 and now all keynotes are blank. Any ideas please?

    I just upgraded to iWork 09 and then as software update instructed, upgraded to 5.0.1..
    Now any new keynote or any old keynote file opens, shows the slides in the slide organiser on the left but the main slide window is completely blank.
    I drag a picture in, nothing, blank. I edit some type and change colours... nothing.
    Any old keynote I open has the slides there, I can export as powerpoint, pdf or anything else, but cannot edit in main window as there is nothing there.
    No theme data is there. Slides are blank. Even applying a theme retrospectively has no effect.
    I have repaired permissions, nothing particularly doing.
    No change.
    I am now stuck. I can try reinstalling, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
    Kind regards
    Joel

    I have solved my own problem here. This might be of use if anyone has a similar problem.
    Removed the Application support files and the Application folder for iWork 09.
    Re-installed iWork 09
    Tested to see if the slides now work
    They do.
    Re-applied the upgrades to 5.0.1
    Tested
    Works

  • Installed iCloud and now all Pages docs are missing.  How do I recover them?

    I installed icloud this morning.  This evening, when I went to use Pages, I discovered that all of my documents are missing.  How do I recover them from before I converted to iCloud?  Or can I?

  • I've just installed Maverick and now can't open iPhoto. I have 9.2.1 currently installed. Am terrified I'm going to lose photos as they weren't all backed up. What do I do? Please help...

    Pogs78,
    first things first — buy an external drive to use as a Time Machine backup destination and make a back up. That way, you won’t lose anything which is currently on your MacBook Pro.

  • I installed an app on my iPhone and now all I can get on my screen is a picture of a USB cable asking me to connect to iTunes - NOTHING ELSE.   Please help!  I need my phone!!

    I installed an app on my iPhone and now all I get on the screen is an image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.  I cannot use my phone and if I turn it off, I just get the same image on the screen!  I need my icons back!

    What version of iTunes is on your computer?  What version of OS X are you running?  What type of Mac (and how old) do you have?

  • I installed ios6 on my iPad3 and now all my calendar items are gone, how do I get them back? I tried deleting my account and adding it back I. Still no calendar

    I Installed ios6 on my iPad and now all my calendar items are gone.  I tried deleting my email account and adding it back in but still no calendar items

    I had the same problem on my iphone 4s and before I had realized it my phone synced up with my computer and deleted  all the appointments in my outlook calendar as well.  I run microsoft exchange and unfortunately my ISP doesnt backup for me so I am left reconstructing my calendar from scratch. Apple support said they had no idea why this had happened and couldnt help me.  Not very reassuring.

  • I've installed ios5 on my iphone4 and now all the applications (app store

    Hello,
    I've installed iOS5 on my iphone 4 and now all the applications (app store, books..) are in deutsch instead of french
    even if all my parameters are in french. I leave in Swiss, french part. Thanks for your help.

    I understand.  The Swiss Apple website offers a choice of French or German and you can download a French version of the Swiss iTunes to your computer, but I do not know how you can change the language of the app on your phone. You can of course choose apps and download them to your computer, then sync them to your phone.  http://www.apple.com/chfr/itunes/
    Perhaps somebody here from Switzerland has an answer?

  • I installed PS CS 6 and now all my iPhoto 11 pictures are missing.

    I installed PS CS 6 last night and now all my iPhoto 11 pictures are missing from the library. I had 45,000 plus pictures and some of them were not backed up. I have tried holding the command and alt keys down while starting iPhoto several times but no luck. Does anyone have any idea how I can recover these photos?

    Don't see how installing CS 6 could do this.
    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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    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.

  • I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
    If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.

  • I upgraded iTunes to 10.6 and now all of my playlists are gone - help!

    One simple update to iTunes, and now all of my playlists (smart and regular) are gone.  Any idea on how to get them back, or to revert to 10.5?

    Do you see a file Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl ?  If so, there's your playlists.  Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and guide it to that file.
    If that files is gone, do you have other content in your iTunes folder, in particular media and or a file ending in .xml or backup files?  Depending upon what you see you can probably recover your lists.
    It is always a good idea to back up before installing new software.  Some day your hard drive will die and nothing (except maybe $2000+) will recover it.

  • I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the Mac, they are all locked.  Help, please.  Thanks

    I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the mac, they are all locked.  Help, please!

    "I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop.  It looks like it went from read only to not locked.  Is this possible?"
    Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
    I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup.
