Just Upgraded from iBook G4
My lovely boyfriend bought me a brand new MacBook Pro. It's really nice, but it's really different from my current computer, my iBook G4. I've had it only for a few days and worked out most of the kinks, but I still have a few things I haven't been able to figure out:
- How do I get the "Look Up In Dictionary" on right click?
- How do I get the spell check (red underline) back?
- How do I turn off the auto suggest/correct?
- How do I get to the information section on iTunes? With the iBook & iTunes 10.3.1, I can have my miniplayer and just got Applekey+I and get the information of the song pop up.
- Can I get rid of the arrows after the song name on iTunes?
- Is there a way to get the miniplayer more similar to the iTunes 10.3.1? I find the default information and having to scroll over to get additional stuff tedious.
- Is there a way to get the search bar back, instead of the combined URL and search bar? Is there a way I can use DuckDuckGo as default instead of Google/Bing ... or... Yahoo! ?
Sorry for the barage of questions and thanks for your time!
Also, I see that the cache and cookies are now in a single place. I only have select cookies on my computer from specific websites, so when I clear the cache it clears out these cookies too. Is there a way to have them separated? I want to be able to clear my cache but I want to keep the dozen cookies I have.

I just upgraded from Logic Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. I now want projects to open in Pro. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?
Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?
When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)

I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4. I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule. I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network. Airport Express no longer connects to my network. I have downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to try and configure, but with no luck.
TC first gen was not simultaneous dual band. So.. it's probably best to factory reset your extreme and then tell it to extend again.

Just upgraded from OS 10.3.9 to 10.4: Safari problems
I just upgraded from Mac OS 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4; everything is working fine, except as follows:
1. Software Update does not work. It seems that it tries to connect to the Apple servers (I can see the router and modem lights blinking), but a connection does not take place (the lights blink a couple of times every few seconds).
2. Safari connects without any problems to this and other Apple Support forums, but not to any of the bookmarks in the Bookmarks menu.
Also, I believe that I may have caused the problem, and will give the details hoping that my problems with Safari may help others solve theirs. I may have made a mistake right after "upgrading" to OS 10.4, specifically after the required restart.
When my iMac G5 restarted, a registration form showed on the screen. The form was the data on my account. My account is not an Administrator account, but a "User" account instead. There was an option to change the account's "User's name," so I went ahead and slightly changed it by adding a "dot" to my first name initial (I don't use my first name, just my initial).
-The old account name was as follows: R
-So I changed the account name by adding a "dot" (.) right after the initial, to look as follows: R.
Right after making the change, I had the option to immediately connect to Apple and REGISTER, however, a connection could not be established or the computer was not responding, so I clicked on "Register Later" and quit.
Mail works fine, and so the DSL modem and router. I can access this forum, but Safari tries but can't to connect to other forums.
Do you think that by changing the User Account's name I may have screwed things up? I have tried MS's Explorer, but it too shows the same problems.
Any ideas on what to do at this point?Steven: I know that the problems I had with Safari is not similar to yours, but I ended erasing the hard drive and reinstalling Tiger four times (I have posted the full story in a couple of Apple forums).
On the pre-final try i removed the router from the computer and only used the DSL modem. However, I decided to use Safari between Software updates, and again Safari stopped working, as well as Software Update. I had removed every USB and Firewire cable, set-up the network to stay active without interruptions, set the computer to stay awake forever, the screen to stay awake for over three hours, and the hard drive to stay awake.
Then on the final erasing/installing, I made sure that I didn't use Safari until every little update was finished all the way to a complete Mac OS 10.4.2. Once that was accomplished I used Safari, and I have been using it since.
A friend of mine is upgrading the router's firmware, just in case that was par t of the problem, but I don't think it was, since the router was out of the picture on the pre-final session.
I believe that for some reason OS 10.4 screwed the Network panel functions. If you just look at the settings they seem to be OK, but not really. The problem may be related to the G5 CPU and how Mac OS 10.4 works with it. While I was having a myriad of network problems, I could connect to the Internet, retrieve my mail, etc. using my son's Mini, as well as an old Mac 7300. Both of these worked just fine connected to the network (router and DSL). Only my iMac G5 would not work. -

I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?
If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.

I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks
There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage. This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port. There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options. -

I have recently just upgraded from my old white powerpc G5 which did not allow me to edit in HD and I had to down convert all my footage to edit in DV. I have bought the newest FCP studio, and I had to order a new firewire as my new desktop does not take the old one that I had before. The new firewire that I have which is the only one that fits into my iMac from my sony Z1 is a Firewire IEEE1394-B (800) 9 pin to 4 pin .
My Mac : Processor- 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory- 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
All my settings are set to HD and the ilink convert is off, and VCR is set to auto. Why is it not reading my Z1???
Please someone help me, i have been using FCP for years now and have not come across this problem before...camera not recognised in system profiler just says maximum speed up to 800mb/sec
still says "unable to locate the following external devices:
HDV (1440x1080) 50i" in FCP when i try easy setup
Try a different cable first ... it might be a connection problem
VCR HDV/DV- Auto
Component- 1080i/576i
i.link convert- off
down convert letter box
A/V-DV OUT- off
Bit of guesswork here - haven't used a Sony in a while - but try these:
• HDV/DV to HDV
• downconvert off/none?
