Lion, Mail, and Outlook. I can't get preferences in Mail to accept Outlook as the default mail program. Outlook works fine within the Office world but not with Preview or Lightroom (to choose two that I've tried today). Any ideas?

As per the heading, I can't get Lion to accept Outlook 2011 as the default mail program. When I go through the Preferences in Mail to set the detault mail program, I can see Outlook, I can select it, but it doesn't "stick." As soon as I reopen Mail, Mail is the defailt mail program again. It also doesn't work though the Outloook Preferences menu. I'm a recent transfer to Macs, and could use some help. Any ideas?
Thanks!

There is a forum specifically for MS Office for Macs, just click Office for Mac Product Forums and post there, they should know.
If for some reason you don't want to do that you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support, this might be a good time to use it. You can find the number in your owners manual.

I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be

I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be selected. Any thoughts? TIA

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

I have an ipod and an iphone 3GS and a wireless LAN device, with my ipod I have a connection, but not with my iphone ... why is that?

I have an ipod and an iphone 3GS and a wireless LAN device, with my ipod I have a connection, but not with my iphone ... why is that?

- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

I just installed OS X Mavericks and now I can't get iMovie or iPhoto to accept and install on my 2014 Macbook Air.

I recently installed OS X Mavericks and when I tried to update iMovie and iPhoto, it wouldn't let me becaus it said they were downloaded under a different Apple ID, so I tried to uninstall and reinstall them from scratch, and now it won't even let me accept them. I keep punching in my Apple ID to accept them and it doesn't appear to be doing anything. What do I do?

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Associate your Apple ID with your user account. Then sign in to the App Store with the same ID.
Step 3
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open with a file named "adoption.plist" selected. If it does, move the file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Log out, log back in, and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4
Contact Mac App Store Customer Service.

A video clip that works fine in windows media player but not in Premiere

I have an AVI video clip file that I recorded from an old VHS tape many years back. The file plays just fine in Windows Media Player but when I import it into the latest version of Premiere Pro CS6 the video portion shows nothing but a green screen. The audio track plays fine. I've tried using Adobe Media Encoder to change it into a variety of different formats. Some don't even produce a file and some do but don't work any differently than the original within Premiere. Any suggestions?
thanx a bunch,
mike

My speakers and earphones will not work. worked fine last time I used but not at all when I started

I used my dv6 6033d last night on Skype and it worked great. Today when I started my computer, I have no sound from internal speakers or the earphones. It dosn't show on mute. What can it be?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If none of the above resolves the issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

I updated iTunes and iPad software and now the iPod function doesn't work--it just displays a large musical note with no controls or songs.

Why does the iPod on my iPad not work after I updated the iTunes and iPad software? All I see when I touch iPod is a large musical note, no controls or songs.

happened to me the first time i used the i pod app after the i tunes update. simply back all the way out - (double hit the home button - the ipod app is one of those things that seems to continue to live in the multitaking bar). When you restart the i pod app, it should dome back fine. I do not think (but maybe I did) that I needed to do a full shut down - just fully close and reopen.

Re-installed SL then to Lion again and now I can't get my backups from Time Machine!

Here is the problem.
One day I booted up my mac with lion, and it wouldn't go through to booting up.
It did this more than once, so I decided to re-install the whole thing ( I checked the drive first, and tried all the tricks plus utility before doing so )
So, I ended up putting Snow Leopard, ( Had my External off this whole time in case )
Then upgraded it right away after the updates to Lion.
I update again and then let Time Machine do it's thing.
I go into Time Machine after, to look into old back ups, I go just a month ago and I'm not finding anything.
All the dates are on the side and everything, I type what I am searching for, and nothing.
I know they are there because I checked before this all happened.
What in the world is going on with this?
The only thing I know that I changed right now was my name for the home folder, but that was about it.
Nothing else has been changed. And again, the dates in my machine go all the way back to 2008.
Am I suppose to let it sit for awhile or what?
Please, any help is appreciated because there's some valuables in here =/
( iMac 2008, with Lion right now )

Ok, The problem was, when I re-installed Snow leopard and it asked me for my mobile me, I put the name I have for it in.
What I didn't notice is, it used that name as the main computer name ( it didn't do this way back when I had first had Leopard/Snow then lion )
Then again, I didn't have Mobile Me until later.
***ANSWER***
Point is, the changing of names for the Home of the computer is what caused Time Machine to now not see the originals.
So word of advice, make sure the NAMES on your Home folder never changes from the original that you backed up with.
Now just to throw this in here, the reason why Lion stopped cooperating I now know is, my Hard Drive was failing and on the verge of dying.
After the few re-installs, I had decided to try and stick with Snow Leopard. After I updated it, it went blank with just the wall paper.
I force restart it after it wasn't doing anything and get greeted by the folder with the question mark.
I then try to go into disk utility and then end up seeing, my HDD doesn't even show! =O
So the Hard Drive went kaputs, got a new one now : )

HP finger print technology was not picked up by firefox4....how do i get ff4 to use HP's finger print technology...it was working fine on the previous version of ff

in my previous version of firefox, any time a userid and password were required, HP's finger print manger box came up and I was just able to swipe my finger print and the finger print manager would populate the userid and password automatically. After I installed firefox 4 the finger print manager does not come up. Not sure if firefox 4 recognizes the technology. How do I get HP's finger print manger to work on firefox 4??
Help!!!

The company that make the fingerprint scanner for HP have abandoned it, for more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

Do you have the Onavo app installed? If so, try removing it.
1. Go to your Settings app -> General -> Profiles
2. Locate the profile called "Onavo"
3. Tap Remove
4. Go back to your home screen and delete the Onavo Extend icon

Does anyone know what programme i can use as iDVD is not on my mac. I want to make a DVD from a movie created on iMovie? Is Burn any good? and if so, can I get it free?

Hi does anyone know what programme I can use to create DVD of a movie that I have created on iMovie? There is no iDVD on my mac. Is Burn any good? And if so, can I get it for free?
Thanks.

There is no iDVD on my mac.
There is NO alternative. But iDVD is very easy to get.
iDVD is on the iLife 11 DISK. Buy here:
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U
Is Burn any good?
iDVD is vastly superior, especially for movies.

paulcb, you're a genius, it worked, thank you so much, you don't know how much stress you have taken off my shoulders, I am constantly on my email in my iphone everyday. Thanks a million, take care. Robert.

I upgraded my iphone 4S to ios 6 two weeks ago and yesterday when I tried to go into my App Store the only ares that I could get was Genius, Genius Categories, and Updates..can't get Apps or search in Apps. Anyone else having this issue?

Is anyone having an issue with the App Store since upgrading to ios 5? I have iphone 4S and upgraded two weeks ago to ios 5, and yesterday I tried to access the App Store and could only get Genius and Updates....no App Store and couldn't search or go to Catagories in App Store!

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.
