  • 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.

  • I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

    I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud.  Any thoughts?

    There are two aspects to iCloud.  One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud.  The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
    First to get an iCloud account:
    If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration).  If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
    Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
    To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7).  Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
    The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html  You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
    So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address.  You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

  • My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
    Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
    Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
    Is the TC new? If old how old?
    If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
    Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security only.
    Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
    Tell us how that goes.

  • Mail won't keep password saved on iPhone 4. Help please?!?

    I am suddenly unable to retrieve email. iPhone 4 will not save my password in settings.
    I am able to configure my email successfully on a different iPhone (3GS).
    Help please!
    Thank you!

    cutwright 93,
    I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
    (I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
    1. On the phone, go to Music.
    2. Click "More."
    3. Click "Shared."
    4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
    5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
    The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

  • Bought an iPhone 4 locked icloud help please

    Hello, i just bought an iphone 4 white, then i connected it in iTunes & restaured it for removing icloud password
    but it has been blocked, and it ask me to put Email & password
    help please ! i bought it in opportunity !!!
    what to do ...

    Contact whomever it was purchased from and request the Apple ID and password that is setup on the device or have them remove the device from their iCloud account.
    Otherwise, return the device if possible. 
    There is no way to bypass the Apple ID activation lock.

  • Locked out! PLEASE HELP!

    Any help would be appreciated greatly! To start, I woke my computer screensaver and it prompted me
    with the login screen, as usual. However, when I typed in my password, the login screen shook as if it
    were wrong. Thinking I may have typed it wrong, I typedit in again...and again...and again....and again.
    Much to my dismay, it was not accepting my password. I hadn't changed it or fiddled with any of the settings
    prior to this happening. So, thinking it might be confused, I held down the power button and shut it off. Rebooting it, I was prompted again with the login. This time, it no longer showed my username. Just two blank fields. I typed in my user name, which I know as well, and my password. Still that littled prompt screen shakes in refusal. Now I am not a mac expert and I only know enough to just barely get by if problems come up. Knowing I am ignorant as to how to go about fixing this, I used my sister's computer to look around for answers. I found out I could use the mac OS X installation disk to try and reset the password.
    This ended in defeat as well.
    I clicked on my hard drive, selected my user in the dropdown and typed in the password (the same one I've always used. (Maybe that's the problem?) Everything seemed fine and I rebooted to see if the installation disk had fixed the problem. I ran into the two blank fields again. Nothing I typed in, all passwords I would ever use and different ways of typing my name, and they still refused the info I typed in.
    Booting up on the installation disk again, thinking I could try and change the password again, I was met with another horror: the dropdown said there were no users on my disk to choose from. This is where DiskWarrior comes in. I owe this software everything! I used it and found that my data was fine. I even moved my important files off onto an external hard drive just to be safe. While in there, I could even see that my user was completely intact.
    Still, even after trying to rebuild my directory with disk warrior, repairing my disk and permissions with the installation disk, all of which showed problems with my disk and fixed them, I am completely locked out of my computer. I called apple support and tgey said they could try and diagnos it over the phone or I could send it in to them. Mind you, no-one I spoke to knew what the problem was, let alone having heard of it. I'm a little low on cash and I'm not sure I want to pay to have my computer looked at only to find that they don't know what to do. (My computer us almost four years old. It's a tough little ****, having gone through a lot in my care, and it's out of warrentee, meaning the cost of diagnosis would not be covered by apple.)
    I need to know several things:
    1. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? If so, how dud you fix it?
    2. Apple seems to think it's some form of hard drive failure and suggested an archival restore or something, where the computer would reinstall its os without affecting my personal data. Chillingly, they said if that doesn't work, they recomend EARSING THE HARD DRIVE COMPLETELT. That's the last step I ever wish to take, but do you think the archival restore or whatever it's called will solve it?
    3. I did some research on the net, driven to find some way of fixing it at home, and my problem might have something to do with my Keychain. Now not being able to even log in to my computer, is there somehow a wat to access the keychain and alter/fix/erase the login info there?
    4. On the matter of the keychain, several people on the internet have suggested a solution on how to change or bypass the keychain by starting up the computer in single user mode and using programming code. I stress again: I am NOT very good with computers. I'm scared to death that I will do something wrong and mess up my entire computer. Even so, would you recommend I do this? Does my ptoblem sound like It has anything to do with the keychain?
    Thank you in advance. I really hope someone can help or at least give me a clear path to start on.
    Notes:
    My computer is 13" Macbook running Tiger version 10.4.1
    My computer also had a great fall as I stumbled over my cat and ever since, if I tried to lift the laptop While it is on it would shut off or restart. Other than that, my computer worked just fine. But getting it in to have that checked and fixed was on my to do list, but then this happens. Is there a possible connection?

    (My computer us almost four years old. It's a tough little ****, having gone through a lot in my care, and it's out of warrentee, meaning the cost of diagnosis would not be covered by apple.)
    Last I heard, there was "No Charge" for a genius appointment at the Apple Store. Repairing it is something else completely, but I believe they will take 15 minutes to do what they can.

  • Hp DVD Drive Locker! Help Please

    hi guys:
    will I tried to clean up my notebooks dvd drive. i made a mistake while closing it, idk where, and the issue is it doesn't close (lock) when i close it, help please, and thanks
    here is a video i made for a better understanding

    Ok, I didn't realise that you never found the DVDPlayback.framework folder, the way you answered my post, I just predumed that you had.
    The Mavericks version may or may not be differenect to the Lion version you have. I don't know. However, there is more to the folder than just this one file. How they all work and what outside looks into this folder, again I don't know, but I would expect these to be contributing to your issues.
    I don't know why you bothered to download a separate player, especially a blue-ray, but you may as well delete it as it is now help to you.
    The initialization error, is the same one I would normally see when the DVDPlayback file was still set to internal. I suspect that you are getting the error, because of other issues with the framework.
    No, I will not email my framework files to you, as again I have no idea if they would even be any use to you, plus, I just don't want to.
    You have to have the correct DVDPlayback.framework on you computer. I stongly suggest that you go to the Mac App Store, to your Purchases tab and download the full installer of OS X Mavericks. This is a large 5GB file and will fully reinstall the operating system onto you computer. It SHOULD leave all your data intact, but backup first, to be sure. If this framework is missing, you may have others too.
    Once you downloaded the OS X installer and installed, make the changes to the DVDPlayback files as before, make sure System Preferences > CDs & DVDs is set to 'When you insert a video DVD: Open DVD Player' is set, and you should be right to watch DVD movies.

  • Possable Connection Lock Out, Help

    Hi recently My main PC died on me, annoying yes as I do not have the money for repairs, currently I am using one of two old redundant spare computers.
    This one is is a Parckard Bell with an intergrated Graphics Card, as I use mu PC for games that is a bit of a problem, my other one however would be able to run my chosen game, (Star Trek Online)
    And now comes the problem, the other PC is an old one, i only stopped using it because it had been internet locked for Internet Spam based Virus, virus i was unsucsesful in removing hence its Internet Locked status.
    Time passed and here we are, im sure the reason for this cry for help is becoming clear.
    After talking to an american friend of mine, he sugested calling my ISP and telling them about the Lock Out, he had said they shoud be able to unlock said computer and as time had passed.
    Removing the pesky virus should be much easier, most up to date Anti Virus programs should be able to clear anything from back in the early 2000.
    Now my problem is not exactly knowing who to call, or what can be done, any help getting my PC unlocked and healthy would be greatly apreciated.
    With Thanks
    Mathew Berry

    The only way an ISP could recognise a computer is by its IP address but this is usually hidden behind the router firewall. So all the ISP can usually see is your routers IP address or rather they know the ip address issued to you. So they could only really ban you of their network not an individual computer. Unless they somehow hacked into your router to stop it connecting to the infected pc (very doubtfull). If I were you I would format the pc and install your programs again, to get rid of the virus. Then have a go at connecting to your router. No way I can see that it will be banned.
