Issue switching back to 10.4

The wife's ibook g4 had some problems handling Leopard, so I switched back to 10.4. The installer saved the old system, however when I try to open a folder such as documents I get a message that I don't have permission. I tried changing ownership and permissions and apply to all enclosed, but to no avail. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to get into the old folders so I can retrieve mailboxes, documents and bookmarks?
Thanks

Drag that folder to the desktop, click Authenticate if prompted, and provide your administrator password.

OSX login page resolution issue switching back from a mirrored TV

I have an issue on my MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2).
I use to connect an external tv via Mini DisplayPort - HDMI cable.
Everything is ok untill I switch back to the single Retina Display: the OSX login page inherit the TV resolution (Full HD) permanently.
To fix it you untill the next mirroring you have to reset the PRAM memory on startup by holding cmd (⌘) + alt (Opt) + P + R.

I've also been having this problem. My computer now consistently shuts down between 10 seconds and 2 minutes of startup. This only happens if my computer is not plugged in. (my battery has been between 70-90% the entire time.) If I keep it plugged in...no problems.

Hi godavina,
Need a little more info here. You are trying to switch back into the British store? Are you living there now? If not, can you tell us where you are and what you are trying to do?
Thanks,

Need switching back to interleaved.

Couple of days ago the homehub3 has decided it will switch back to "Fast" latency from "interleaved" and has been causing issues which has needed me to unplug the DSL line and replug it back in after the Broadband light has switched off every evening and morning. This is causing issues when attempting to play games on steam or minecraft such as horrible lag and being kicked off the server cause i am "moving too fast" in minecraft
Can I phone up BT India and get them to switch me back to interleaved as "fast" latency is having more issues than normal with "interleaved" or do the mods need to do this.

Problems switching back to BT .. Thanks, BT - now ...

I've recently (1st June) switched back to BT .. but my old provider (Pipex) knows nothing about the switch yet BT are happily charging me for my new Unlimited Anytime Plan.
So, what went wrong BT?
More to the point HOW DO I GET SOMEONE AT BT TO CARE?
Are these forums really the only way to raise an issue?
Aaaarggh.

Hi Fredd,
Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.
BT will only start charging you for service once the service is activated, so there is definitely some confusion here.
Please drop me an email to [email protected], please include your BT account details and the link to this post. Once I have your details I will check the order from my end to see what is going on.
Cheers

Switching back to Domain-0 console

I have been playing around with the xm console <domain> command to see if I can get an X11 or Windows desktop on my computer screen without going through vnc. I want to run a vm server on my laptop and be able to switch back and forth between Windows and Linux. ( I realize that this isn't the intent of the product but I thought it would be fun to try ).
The two issues that I am having are
1) it appears that the consoles are mapped to vnc. Is there a way to map these to something else so that I could get the Windows console or X11 desktop through the xm console command?
2) once I connect to the xm console to a Linux machine, how do I disconnect from this console connection and go back to Domain-0? Do I need to install the xm package on this Linux instance to make this happen or is there a magic keystroke that can be interpreted as something for Domain-0 to switch the console back. The only way that I can see how to do this is reboot the guest vm which then releases the xm console.

Q1:Is there a way to map these to something else so that I could get the Windows console or X11 desktop through the xm console command?
A1:here are steps to get windwos/X11 desktop for guest OS.
1)start your VM guest.
2)ssh -X your_oracle_vm_server
3)vncviewer :5900
5900 is the first vnc server port default. you may try "vncviewer :5901" if you start other VM guest.
Q2:once I connect to the xm console to a Linux machine, how do I disconnect from this console connection and go back to Domain-0?
A2:Typing Control-] in the xm console will detach your screen from the guest console and go back to Domain-0.

I need help switching back to iPhoto

In February of this year I switched from iPhoto to Aperture for very specific reasons. My laptop's hard drive was running out of space, as it was housing my photo library that was quickly approaching 25,000 photos and pushing about 30 Gigabytes, and I wanted to take advantage of Aperture's ability to store photo masters on an external drive.
So why switch back? When I described why I had switched and my experiences doing so back in February I had said that I ran into many problems all of which I was able to solve save two:
"The two things I have yet to solve, which are rather large things: 1) Spotlight can no longer find my photos since switching to [edit: from] iPhoto. I am really not sure where to start with fixing this so I think I’m just going to have to ask someone. 2) Reorganizing my keywords in Aperture (since I had them set up in iPhoto) is impossible. When I bring up the Keywords HUD, I’m greeted with all of my keywords residing subordinately to a master keyword of 'iPhoto'. When I try to access the keywords that are “below” iPhoto Aperture freezes. Perhaps I have too many keywords (I do have an awful lot). I’m not sure how to solve this one yet either. Maybe there is a raw .plist file that I can manually edit (and I am willing to do so)." -- Me.
After using Aperture for the past 3+ months I've yet to resolve either of these issues. Recently there was an update to Aperture from Apple that, according to the documentation for the update, was supposed to help resolve my second issue with having too many keywords for Aperture to handle - but it hasn't helped much. So since switching to Aperture I've not tagged more than maybe fifty photos, which is discouraging because I know that once I switch back to iPhoto I'm going to be busy tagging photos again.
So I suppose you could say I'm switching back for two main reasons. First, I want it to be much easier to tag my photos since that is probably the single most important thing to me and the experience with iPhoto and Keyword Manager ( http://www.bullstorm.se/KeywordManager.php ) is far superior to that of using keywords in Aperture. Second, I want my photos to start showing up in Spotlight searches again. I'm more than willing to deal with the caveat, albeit a rather large one, that I won't have my photos with me wherever I go anywhere but that they'll forever reside on my firewire drive.
What I need help with...
When I open iPhoto I see all of the previews for the photos that I had the day I switched to Aperture. However, the originals have been moved by Aperture onto my firewire drive - so when I click on each photo all I get is a ( ! ) symbol. The previews still reference a file that does not exist yet the iPhoto database still retains all of the relevant metadata (date/time, keywords, comments, etc) that I had worked so hard to put into iPhoto. I need to retain this information and somehow get the originals back into place so that iPhoto sees them again.
What I thought about doing was this: 1) Somehow restore the originals for the almost 25,000 photos into the place where iPhoto thinks they should be. 2) Move the entire library to my external firewire drive. 3) Import the remaining images that I've taken since switching to Aperture into iPhoto.
Since I have Aperture store my photos by date - importing only the images that I've imported into Aperture should be a piece of cake. I do not need to retain any metadata from Aperture since I've only tagged a few photos in Aperture and all of the other information I may need should be on the original file (like date taken, etc.). I know I'm going to lose a lot of edits that I've done like cropping, rotating, color balancing, red-eye reduction, etc. but I'm more than willing to lose all of that if it means that I can pick up where I left off and get back into the swing of things in iPhoto.
I've Googled like crazy and haven't found someone doing exactly what I'm trying to accomplish so any help with my current situation is greatly appreciated. I've also posted this on my blog http://cdevroe.com/notes/back-to-iphoto/

2) Reorganizing my keywords in Aperture (since I had them set up in iPhoto) is impossible. When I bring up the Keywords HUD, I’m greeted with all of my keywords residing subordinately to a master keyword of 'iPhoto'.
Bear with me, my terminology may not be right. I'm heading in the opposite direction, and one of the advantages i see to Aperture is that I've got the same advantages in Keyword management as I have with KM in iPhoto.
Have you tried re-organising them using the control bar: Below the thumbs there's a drop down menu, by default it shows Photo Descriptors. Click on it and Select 'Edit Buttons'. You can merrily re-organise your Keywords in this window, and even have your changes reflected in live in the HUD.
As to the Spotlight searching, I'm afraid someone else will need to help on that one. Personally - and it's a regular on the iPhoto forums - I've never had much luck getting Spotlight to search within iPhoto for keywords, apart, of course, from using the search window in the iPhoto Window. I suspect a system-based search of iPhoto keywords is simply not possible.
What I thought about doing was this: 1) Somehow restore the originals for the almost 25,000 photos into the place where iPhoto thinks they should be.
That will work, but they'll need to be exactly as they were.
2) Move the entire library to my external firewire drive.
Easily done, after you've copied it over launch iPhoto holding down the option (or alt) key and choose 'Locate'. Navigate to the new location and that''ll be your default iPhoto Library Folder thereafter.
3) Import the remaining images that I've taken since switching to Aperture into iPhoto.
That should work too.
But the key is, can you return the iPhoto Library Folder exactly as it was, otherwise you'll need to create and populate a new library - and that will inevitable mean losing your keywords in iPhoto too.
FWIW, I need to keep iPhoto going for others in the household who are daunted by Aperture. My solution is a referenced library pointing towards the iPhoto Library Folder / Originals folder.

Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Cindi B
PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

How do I turn off Home Sharing / Switch Back to Local Library?

Last night I turned ON Home Sharing on my iPhone and switched (in the Music/iPod app) my library on the phone to use the Shared Library on my iMac. It works great and I have no issues, except...
Now, that I am away from home (and my network), I am unable to access any of the locally stored content on my iPhone and I can't figure out a way to change the library back to the local (iPhone) media library as the "Shared" button doesn't appear while I am not connected.
Am I stuck in the Shared Library until I get home and connect to my home share or is there a way to make the switch back to local storage while not connected?

I found a similar thread and it has answered my question.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16668040#16668040
Restarting the phone will reset it back to the local library. It works, but as the other thread points out it seems a little silly that you can't do it without a restart.

Can you switch back between CS5 and CS5.5 with the same project with Premiere??

Hey all,
I just got CS5.5 for Mac (Lion) and was wondering if i am able to save a project and open it with CS5 Premiere because I work with one other editor who has CS5. I have tested saving a project in CS5.5 and opening it in CS5 but it says that it needs to convert first but then it seems to work fine. So basically, is there workflow good between the 2? Any known issues or anything else i should know about when switching back and forth?
Also, I have the student edition of CS5.5 and was wondering how many times can I install it? I plan on buying a new computer in a few months from now but currently have 2 and was wondering if i should install it on both my current computers and then deactivate one and install it on my new computer in the future? Or is there a limit and that will not work?
Thanks!!

Because it has to create a new "version" of your project every time you go back and forth, you'll end up with umpteen versions if you go back and forth every time which could become a nightmare for you... And because it creates new "versions" every time, you're far more likely to end up with a corrupted file at some point... I'd stay away of going back and forth between versions...
As an aside, does anyone know if you can go back and forth between the same version (CS5.5) on different platforms (Mac/PC)? I may need to start doing that soon at work, and I've never tried...

My iMac20 powers off by itself and won't switch back on

I'm sorry this is a bit of a saga but I'm at the end of my tether with so will be really grateful if anyone has any experience of this issue and can give me some help?
The problem started in May when, after an hour or so of use, my iMac 20 suddenly started to turn itself off and wouldn't turn back on again until the following day. This happened around half a dozen times so I took the machine to the local Apple store and was told that it was probably the thermal trip and if I removed the power cord and left it disconnected for a while, it would power up again more quickly. That evening when it cut out, I followed the advice I was given and removed the power cord from the back of the machine but it made no difference and the machine would not restart until the following morning. Back to the Apple store I went and this time they took the machine in to the workshop; a day or two later I was told that they had cleaned out the fans and tweaked some software and had run it successfully on the bench for several hours with no problem. After paying £49, I collected the machine, took it home, ran it for an hour or so and off it went again and as before, refused to turn on. Back again to the Apple store; "Had I reloaded the operating system?" Well no, because I hadn't been told that I needed to. And anyway why would I... surely the thermal cut-out was a hardware issue? The response was that the problem was definitely software-based and nothing to do with overheating or a faulty power supply unit (which was/is my favourite candidate for villain of the piece). So off home I went, backed up my stuff and ran Disc One successfully and started running Disc Two. After about 20 minutes into Disc Two the machine did its usual trick and powered off, and I went looking for a bottle of wine.
Back to the Apple store. The guy controlling the 'guest list' for the Genius Bar said that if I wanted to return the machine to the workshop that day it would be considered a new incident and there would be a further charge for any repair work. However, if I made a fresh appointment (for a couple of days later) then the work would be done as part of the previous 'repair'. Somebody at Apple really needs to look at the way the stores deal with dissatisfied customers.
So, Saturday the 11th of July arrives and I head back to the Genius Bar for my free appointment. I explained to a very helpful guy that this is my fifth visit and I would like to get to the bottom of the problem. He referred to the tech person who dealt with the original workshop repair and she came out to explain that the issue is caused by 'something' lurking in my Library folder and that if I wipe my hard drive and re-install the OS from scratch but without the Library folder, the problem should be solved.
I spent Sunday wiping the hard drive, running the OS discs and then reinstating my iTunes, photos etc and waiting for the machine to turn itself off - but it didn't! I left my external hard drive returning all my files and documents overnight and when I woke up on Monday, everything was still up and running... bliss!
Then, this afternoon, after downing loading a music file in flac format, I found that it wouldn't go into iTunes without the help of Fluke software. I downloaded the Fluke stuff and then as I dragged the flac file into iTunes - boof! The machine went off and won't switch back on again.
So finally... has anyone seen any similar behaviour with their iMac and was it caused by software or hardware? And if it is software that's causing the problem, why can't I switch the machine on again immediately?
,

Amsys plc, the company Apple uses for off-site repairs returned my iMac20 today and the accompanying advice note states that the fault was resolved by replacing the power supply unit. I am really grateful to Apple for finally getting to the bottom of the problem, particularly as the repair was done free of charge, although I had already paid £49 for a useless workshop investigation at the Kingston store. The service given by Amsys was exemplary... the collection and return of the machine was carried out at the times promised and whenever I contacted the company by phone, each person I spoke to seemed to have knowledge of the repair without having to refer to the case notes (and none of the 'press 1 for service, 2 for sales...' rubbish).
So once again BDAqua, many thanks for suggesting I call Apple... it's just a shame that the staff of the Kingston store refused to accept what was obvious to me.

How to switch back to old depreciation calc method during upgrade to ECC6.0

Hi Everyone,
We are doing a technical upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 and we have activated the enterprise extension EA-FIN via SWF5 (switch framework) to use the functionality of accrual engine, closing cockpit etc. However, activating EA-FIN has activated the new depreciation calculation method (Period based depreciation calculation) which, we do not want. We still want to continue using old depreciation method (transaction based depreciation calculation).
So, is there a customization that turns off the new depreciation calculation? Or an OSS note? I read in SDN Wiki and it said, one has to post a customer message (OSS) to SAP and they in turn provide the notes to switch back to old depreciation method and also it is mentioned that these notes are not available in service market place. Is that how it is? Had anyone got into this issue before? Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
K

You already found your answer on the Wiki:

What is not clear about that?

Firefox switches back to originating site instantaneously.

This question, I'm sure, has been asked before. I just can't seem to find the CORRECT solution.
This has been going on now for, I know, a year or more. I just get tired of trying to find the solution so I just deal with it. Well, I've got to the point that someone has had to have the same problem as I and has found the solution.
Problem: Almost(not every time), when I open a link in a new window, after the site opens, FF immediately switches back to the originating website from where I clicked the link. I then I have to reselect the the new window for FF to refocus on it.
This does not seem to be version specific only because FF has updated its versions multiple times over a year and still having the same issue.
Of course, no other browser I use does this. I've always been a FF fan so don't like to use other browsers much.
FYI; FF 31.0, WIn7x64 is up to date. All software(Adobe, DX, slvrlt, etc) is up to date as well. No Java installed.

Hello,
To find the correct solution to your problem, we need some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:

When I app switch back to Photoshop, any selected text is deleted - Help!

When I app switch back to Photoshop, any selected text is deleted - in text elements or Inspector values.
