Leopard 10.5.7 update caused Mac name change and web browser errors
Since updating to Leopard 10.5.7 through System Preferences > Software Update, my iMac has been renamed "Evan's iMac (2)" as if a new computer with the same name was duplicated. I've also noticed significant crashes and performance issues in Firefox 3 and Safari 4 beta. The only thing that's changed to my iMac is this OSX update.
Go to System Preferences > Sharing. Change the name back to what you want it.
For the browsers, try resetting Safari, for FF > Tools >Clear Private Data.

I can not get ny updates and therefore not use Java, as it only run updates for MAC 10.7. and later. How do i get the updates to install and use JAVA ?
In Snow Leopard you update Java from Software Update (in the Apple menu). You can check your version by opening Terminal and typing
java -version
(don't get creative and type anything else)
The latest version is 1.6.0_65. -
I recently updated my mac to mavericks, and I can't use my iPhoto unless I update it and I have been trying to update it but it says I've "purchased it on a different account" or "the item has been cancelled/deleted" what do I do? It also says its unavailable. Please help.
Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently. Can I get my document with all my information back?
I suggest the easy stuff first:
1) quite Numbers and restart Numbers
2) reboot the computer
After that try opening the same document in another user space -

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files -
I updated my MAC to Mavericks and purchased iPhoto 9.5. Installed iPhoto; however when I try to open iPhoto I receive The folling, "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first must be prepared. To prepare use iPhoto Library Upgrade". I have have downloaded and installed the upgrader, with no success.
I need to add that I am a senior and am not as computer savey as I should be. Therefore, i really need step by step help.After you download the upgrader, you will need to go to your Applications folder and find the Utilities folder.
In there will be the iPhoto Library Upgrader (version 1.1). Open the application and follow the instructions. Should get you going. -

My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.
2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?
If so then:

Firmware update causes mac book pro to not respond
Hi all. I was hoping someone could help me out please? I just ran the latest firmware update for my 2011 mac book pro and after it installed it now won't start up, only getting to the gray screen before freezing there.
I've tried all the on line solutions I can find on Apple's site, but no luck. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this??
Thanks heaps.See gray screen
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Hold the shift key down upon boot, this will perform checks and disable any third party kext files installed into OSX and called a Safe Boot.
(Kext files can also be installed by software itself and if you have it auto-launcing at log-in that could cause a freeze.)
Once in, copy your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive (in addition to TimeMachine if your using it) and disconnect.
Go around and update all your third party software, or remove some that don't have a update and do have kext files in the System/Library/Extensions folder (use the devleopers uninstaller preferred)
If that fails then hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (or command r boot into 10.7 recovery) and simply reinstall OS X, this will replace OS X only with a fresh copy, then software update.
If that fails, then you likely have a failed firmware install, you can install it manually
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
If that fails, you'll have to take your machine in for service and get the logicboard replaced.
If OS X boots, but you can't log in or have a problem after logging in, it's likely a third party program or user account issue, create another user account and test again when your problem occurs. If you can't log in, there is a trick to create a new admin account at the command s boot. -
Leopard 10.5.5 update causes problem with PDF creation
Mac Pro 2X Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3 GHz, updated to 10.5.5. using the combo updater.
PDFs created from Illustrator CS3 (13.0.2) using print to Adobe PDF 8.0. Page size is correct, but the image is only half the size. When I boot to a backup system 10.5.4 disk, the same file is created correctly. Good thing I made a backup before updating! Anyone else have this problem?Hi everyone,
We at Adobe are working to understand the change and work with Apple to find a solution. In the meantime, I've published a KB article here: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb406381
I've tested to 15+ printers so far, and the only ones that showed a problem are the Adobe PDF Printer and an HP 1320, and only when printing from InDesign CS3 or Illustrator CS3.
I would help if you can post more details if
* You have a 10.5.5 printing problem from something other than AI/ID CS3
* You have had success/failures with workarounds in the KB doc
* You have had the problem to a physical printer (include details of the printer)
Thank you! -
Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10: Installation Failed error message.
Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac: Installation Failed error message. Update downloaded directly from Adobe website. Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished. Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?
thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it. according to the link you listed, that's correct. the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os. seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it! thanks again.
