  • IMac keep shutting down after installing OSX lion

    Hi,
    I have a mid 2010 27 inch i5 machine and after I had installed OSX Lion last month the machine randomly shut itself down while I'm using it.  At first I thought it was because of a software problem with Final Cut Pro X, since I installed that at the same time and it would shut down while I was using it.  Then it start to shut down while I'm just browsing the net.  Restarting is not a problem but a pain to loose unsafe data when it crashes.
    Does anybody else have this problem?  Again the machine was working fine before OSX Lion so I don't think it's a hardware issue.  On average it would shutdown once or twice per usage day sometime a few minutes after turning on the machine, still cool, and sometime after a while, not excessively hot.
    Appreciate any help and thank you in advance!

  • I am having mail problems after installing Mountain Lion

    The mail doesn't work properly and the cursor freezes up and I get the color wheel whenever I start typing and have to wait for it to catch up.  All this started after downloading the wonderful upgrade Mountain Lion.  Is there a way to go back.  I was happier then.

  • After installing OSX Lion, the built-in camera no longer works.  Solution?

    After installing OS X Lion on a late 2010 MacBookPro, the built-in camera no longer works.  Worked beautifully with Snow Leopard.  Reset SMU to no avail.  Any solutions?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your help with this.
    Yes to both questions: iMovie is in the Applications folder, not in any subfolders. And I have reinstalled iMove from the original disc (before and after the OS reinstall) but can only get up to 7.1.4 without buying a later edition of iLife.
    The camera definitely worked under Snow Leopard but not since I upgraded from SL to Mountain Lion.
    Found the following on this forum:
    If you have iLife '09 or older, there have been no iPhoto 8, iMovie 8 or
    Garageband 5 (or older) updates relating to Lion or Mountain Lion. The
    support and compatibility situations for those versions is unknown as
    Apple hasn't said anything. We can only determine compatibility
    anecdotally. If it turns out that there is a problem and Apple doesn't
    release an update, your only recourse is to buy the latest version of
    the application.
    I reinstalled some other iLife apps as well. iDVD went missing after the ML reinstall. When I reinstalled it from the original disc, it wouldn't open and I had to download a manual update to get it working. iWeb previously stopped working after the upgrade to ML (all the menu options were greyed out) but when I reistalled it (together with iMove and iDVD) yesterday, it started working again.
    All this seems to point to a compatibilty issue between iLife '08 and ML.

  • Quicktime problems after installing OSX 10.6.8

    Ever since I have installed OSX 10.6.8,
    1. I'm unable to play avi files even with Perian installed. This message always comes up: The document "xxx.avi" could not be opened.
    I've searched for solutions and some suggested that it might be DIVX pluggins problem so I have deleted all DIVX files/components I can find. Still, my problem wasn't solved.
    2. Playing .mp4 is fine, but I have trouble saving trimmed video into .mov. The messahe always comes up: The document “xxx” could not be saved as “xxx”.
    Before I installed OSX 10.6.8, I always have no problem playing .avi files and saving trimmed videos.
    I'm using Quicktime player 10.0
    So I thought it might really be the OSX problem, so I installed my old OS back using the DVD to 10.6.3. The problem is still there.
    Can anyone suggest solutions for me please? Thank you.

    Why do you think you need to change the IP address on the printer? Is the Mac using the same IP address or is it set to use a different IP address range (subnet)?
    If the printer is connecting to a router then it most likely is obtaining its IP address (known as DHCP) from the router, which the Mac would also be doing by default. And if the printer is set to DHCP, turning it off for several minutes is sometimes enough for it to acquire a new IP address when it is turned back on.
    If the printer has a static IP address set then it is often possible to change the IP address via the keyboard of the printer. If you can tell us what make and model you have, then someone who has this model can reply with the steps or we can refer to the manual for this model and provide you with the steps to take.

  • Problems after installing OSX Leopard

    Hi
    After installing Leopard on my Powermac G5 duel 2.0Ghz only the dock appears (nothing on the desktop) then the cursor turns into a beachball and constantly spinning and unable to do anything, any ideas?

    You "should" not lose anything, Archive and install moves you current items into a folder and then does a clean install of the OS. But, things can go wrong and I would suggest backing up all those things before you do anything else, Did you read through the sticky at the top of the Leopard forum? there might be some blue screen info there.
    If you can't get your computer to start to backup your data, there are a couple of options available
    1) If you have an external firewire Hdd, you could install 10.5 on it, boot your system from it and then you should be able to pull anything from your original drive to the external drive and when done do your install on your regular drive. (there are other options here as well--after you had everything on your external hdd you could clone it back to your original drive using carbon copy cloner or ? SuperDuper( i haven't used SD but others recommend it) This is a good solution, as after you are done and have everything working on your regular computer, you can then use the external hdd for Time machine backup.
    2) If you have another mac, you can start the mac you need the info from in target mode, hook the two together and drag your data off the corrupted mac onto the other one for temporary storage and then wipe and reinstall your computer.

  • Virus in safari after installing OS Lion

    Shortly after installing OSX Lion, I downloaded content from three "Rorshach" sites, and now whenever I open Safari, three windows open and a dialogue box pops up in front saying I have won a free iPad.  There is no way to close the pop-up, and I have to force quite Safari to use my computer.  I can't uninstall and reinstall Safari, because it is part of the operating system.  What should I do?  I have time machine backups of my data, but not my OS.

    As Kirk says, you don't have a virus.
    In Lion, apps re-open whatever windows were open when they quit the next time you start them up.  So, you quit Safari with those pop-ups open, so it's trying to re-open them every time you launch it again.
    Why can't you close those pop-ups?  All Safari windows should be closeable, and I'm not aware of any way to prevent that.  Can you provide a screenshot?  Use command-shift-3 (or command-shift-4 to select only a part of the screen), then upload the photo here by clicking the camera icon in the editor.

  • HT1338 After install mountain lion my superdrive do not work

    i facing problem after install mountain lion 10.8.2. my superdrive do not work properly , when i insert a disk to superdrive after 20-30 seconds left cd eject. if you have any solution about solve this problem , pls tell me. 

    After recently upgrading my mid-2010 Mac Mini from Lion to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 my superdrive stopped working. I did a clean install of Lion to a blank SSD. Then I upgraded to Mountain Lion from the App Store. Then I tried reading a Windows 7 installation DVD. Any DVD I insert in the internal superdrive is not recognized by the system and is ejected after a few seconds.
    I tried cleaning the superdrive with a DVD lens cleaner. This did not fix the problem.
    I tried a SMC reset. This did not fix the problem.
    I tried an NVRAM/PRAM reset. This did not fix the problem.
    I read on a related thread...
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4150905?start=30&tstart=0
    ...that many Mountain Lion users have experienced the same issue.
    I opened the Console to look for new messages appearing after inserting a DVD-ROM into the superdrive. No messages appeared while the superdrive whirred a few times and then ejected the DVD-ROM.
    Apple have been made aware of the issue but no patch has been issued. Mountain Lion 10.8.2 is the current version with no updates available at the time of writing.
    Some users with dual-boot systems have booted into Windows and their superdrive works fine. This points to a software issue with Mountain Lion. The problem appears to affect some systems and not others.
    Other users have reported that their superdrive works again after downgrading to Lion or Snow Leopard.
    I'm going to try booting ML into Safe Mode to see if the superdrive works. I'll then try downgrading to Lion or Snow Leopard to see if the superdrive works ok. That at least will confirm that it is a Mountain Lion upgrade related issue and not a superdrive hardware failure.
    Then we will have to wait for a patch from Apple to resolve the issue so we can upgrade to ML without losing use of the optical drive!

  • After installion OSX Lion... funny colors

    Hi there!
    After installing OSX Lion on my system I installed completely new my master collection CS3 with Premiere Pro.
    And now always when I cut or move my clips it makes funny red colors which is really hitting on my nervs - it's working but... seriously???!
    You can answer in english or german - THANK YOU ALL!!!

    Lars,
    Thanks for sharing the discussion with Adobe.That confirms my fears.
    Unfortunately, when one has an older program, that was written well before a new OS was even in development, things can go very wrong. The lack of support for a program, that is now 2.5 versions old, is about what I had expected. Adobe is not alone here, as I encountered many programs, that were written for earlier versions of Windows, when XP hit. Many would just not work, and could not be made to work. Also, none of those older versions were supported any longer.
    For a very few, that I used often, I had to build a new computer, just for them. Though the "parts" of that computer were then state-of-the-art, I had to limit the installed RAM to 512MB (contemporary computers had 4GB RAM, but those older programs could not see more that 512MB, so reported that there was "not enough RAM" to run them, when there was actually too much! I also had to run a much older OS for them. Over time, I was finally able to find replacement programs for those "old stand-bys" most of which were from dead companies. When I was able to find replacements, I could finally go in and add 4GB of RAM and unleash the potential power of that box, with a new OS.
    For other programs, I had to hold off on going to XP, until I had upgraded each. While not as expensive, as say Adobe Master Collection, because of the number, it was not cheap. It was not until XP was up to SP-2, that I could finally install the new OS, and then install all of my upgraded programs.
    With legacy software, and newer OS's (not just on the PC), there are often compromises to be made. In my case, I took what I think was your "option 1."
    I feel your pain, and that of several other users of Lion with older versions of Premiere. I have been there - done that, and had to bite a few bullets along the way. On one hand, we get more powerful OS's, but on the other, some legacy software will just not run on them.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Problems installing OSX Lion - new Mac Mini 2011

    Hi!
    I'm having major problem with my brand new Mac Mini.
    I wanted to upgrade it right away after reading so many succeful upgrading reports on various forums so I bought a 120GB Intel 320 SSD disk and 2x4 GB of Kingston 1333mhz ram. I swapped the drives right away and idiotically used to original drive in a case to create an external installation USB-drive (my 4GB USB drives didn't work).
    I then created a bootable USB-disk with the external original drive and tried to install but only get the circle with slash after selecting the drive in the "options" menu. If I remove the USB-drive I get a flashing folder icon. If start holding down Command + S I get a message saying that the "version of OSX is not supported on this platform".
    I also tried using the Recovery Assistant HD to create a bootable recovery tool but that gives the same results.
    In short:
    I can't install OSX Lion on a brand new Mac Mini with upgraded HD and Ram. I don't have the original installation anymore.
    Am I out of luck?

    Internet Recovery solved this problem. Option+Command+R.

    i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.
