Just updated to '09 and can't use Garageband at all

I keep getting error messages that say "required software extensions are missing" and "garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers." I don't have additional drivers anywhere, and I'm pretty sure the upgrade from the iLife 09 DVD was complete.
If gb does manage to fire up, I can't use it at all. I click on one thing and the multicolored ball spins for two minutes. I've tried restarting, doesn't help.
Anyone know what's going on?

isteveus, yep, I'm using 10.5.6. MattiMattMatt, thank you for the suggestion--I took out the two GB-related files I found in preferences (com.apple.garageband.cs & com.apple.garageband.plist) and repaired permissions (which took about an hour...is that normal?).
Still having the same problems. Any other troubleshooty things I can try?
Just to confirm: when you removed the preference files, did you throw them out? It's probably a long shot, but just to make sure, you should throw them all the way out.
Repairing permissions does take longer in Leopard than it used to in Tiger, although an hour sounds like a long time even for Leopard, (after all that time, I hope it at least found a few permissions it could repair).
Other than that, if you're sure you didn't install any other drivers, perhaps it needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled (just guessing)?

Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

Your best bet is to check the version of QuarkXPress you have. Since Lion does not include Rosetta my guess is this may be why it is not working. Check out this site http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. This site has a list of apps that work and don't work under Mac OS X Lion.
If you are working in a production environment freelance or stuido that uses design apps like QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop you should always wait to upgrade your OS. We have a 3 to 6 month policy for upgrading computers and software.
I hope the website helps. http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Just updated to Mavericks and can't open spread sheets in numbers

Just updated to Mavericks and can't opean spread sheets, says I must update numbers but numbers is already updated?

Hi REBOS1,
A key point in the article to which YeOldMacFan links is that you now have two versions of Numbers on your Mac, the new version in your main Applications folder and the old version in a subfolder named iWork '09.
Both versions can coexist on your Mac, even run at the same time, but you need to make sure you are opening a particular document with the correct version. The old version can't open documents that have been edited in the new version, and that's probably the reason you are getting the error message.
If you have old documents, it's best to make copies of them and open the copies in the new version, leaving the orginals unchanged.

I just updated my Iphone and can no longer find my notes...

I just updated my Iphone to iOS 6.1.3 and can no longer find my "notes". Please help!

Notes usually sync with a mail service i.e gmail, yahoo, aol, etc. Do you have a mail account setup on your product? If so, have you went into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Select your mail account > see if notes are toggled on

I recently had an update to firefox and now cannot use it at all. Apparently a 'bad image' not valid Windows image. Help.

I recently had an update to my Firefox account and since then cannot use it at all. When I try to a window opens which says the following:
The application or DLL C:/Program Files/Mozilla/Firefox/xul.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check your installation diskette.

Please do the following.
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox '''and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').
Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox '''at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
This is what's known as a 'clean install'. It will overwrite the corrupt files which are preventing Firefox from starting.

I just upgraded to Mavericks and can't use my Epson Scanner

Everytime I try to import with my Epson V600 scanner Photoshop just crashes. Anyone have this happen and find a solve?

Thanks for the help, part of it was that I was using CS3 and that's a big problem with Mavericks. Instead of spending hours working around it I bit the bullet and signed up for the photoshop cc service. A bit steep but it's solved several problems. I do have to say that I really like some of the new features so I'm not as annoyed by Adobe's blackmail as I could be.

Just updated to Yosemite, but can't use aperture 2.1.4 anymore. What to do?

Here we go again, I update my mac to yosemite, but still had an old version of aperture 2.1.4. Now I can't access my pics anymore. Any other solution than purchasing aperture 3.6?

There is no application that I know of that would compress your files.
I was not asking about compression - I was talking about a lossless transition of the Aperture library as a library. The library is more than the collection of RAW photos. There are years of work in the edits and organization.
All images are in limbo - edited versions paired with original master files. A successful transit needs to preserve the master-version pairs and save the edits.
The Aperture library has an organization that we want token - folders, albums, smart albums.
Plenty of metadata - keywords, captions, ratings
M of D cannot open Aperture 2.1.4 on Yosemite to export the edited version. At best the Master folder can be extracted. It will be a mess of nested folders. It will not be possible to export the edited versions associated with the metadata, without the upgrade. I migrated old iPhoto Libraries to Aperture, before the unified library had been introduced, and it was a pain. No master-version pairs, no timezone support in iPhoto, lost places tags. Essentially I had to do the complete library organization and tagging again. And after the unified library has been released, I discarded all previously migrated photos, upgraded the old iPhoto libraries to version 9.3 and migrated the libraries again, and finally had a lossless transition.
CaptureOne, afaik, supports migration from Aperture 3, but my question was, how it supports migration from Aperture 2. I am very skeptical, since the libraries are so different, if it will be supported at all. And Apple did not say anything, if migration from Aperture 2 to the new Photos.app will be supported.

I just updated to iso5 and can't open any of my apps. HELP!

Example... I click on my Angry Birds app icon and it blinks then nothing.
I went into itunes but couldn't find any of my apps there.

Try two things:
First, try going to the App Store and download any app, paid or free.
Second, if not fixed, try a reset.
Doing a Reset:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears.

Updated to iOS 6, can't use iMessages for all of my numbers. It sends message that the number is not registered on iMessage. Help!

Updated to ios 6, imessage sends back "number not registered". I need to know how to register numbers to imessage account.

On your iPhone running ios6 whose number you want to register, simply log out of imessage and log back in, it should then ask you if you want to add it.

Any ideas about how to restore old appearance on my iPhone? I just updated to IOS7 and really dislike the new appearance. I have to log on to see percentage of power used since I can't see it on my opening screen. I also want the gray folders back.

I just updated to ios7 and do not like the redesign. I want the old design back. Has anyone found out how to restore the old appearance. I do not understand why the change. I now have to unlock my phone to be able to check my battery level because my screensaver has a light color in the upper corner and I can't read the text. I want the gray panel back.
