Lion will not allow AFP file sharing
After upgrading my iMac to Lion, I tried to turn on File Sharing, but it would not allow it - I'd check the box, it would refuse the check. I had to go in to Options and check SMB Sharing to get File Sharing to work. However, I'd like to use AFP file sharing, not SMB. I still cannot turn on AFP sharing - I check the box, it unchecks itself in 1/2 a second.
My Macbook Pro was upgraded a couple months ago, and it does not have this issue. What am I missing?
I had this same problem so I opened the console application and viewed all messages. Then I tried to check the File Sharing checkbox and noticed that two new entries showed up.
3/31/12 9:21:05.415 PM com.apple.coreservicesd: launch_msg(): Socket is not connected
3/31/12 9:21:05.645 PM com.apple.coreservicesd: bind(): Address already in use
Each time I tried to check the checkbox, I received the same messages. I could of done more detective work but Address already in use may be some kind of memory leak issue or something so I simply rebooted my Mac Pro and then I was able to check the box and it stuck this time. Also, I was able to share my file like I intended.

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2
Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
Then, follow the steps above.
Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up. -

Mountain lion will not allow me to download an emailed photo directly to iPhoto
Since I downloaded Mountain Lion, my iMac lost the capability of saving an emailed photo in iPhoto. The only way I can save the photo - is drag it directly to iPhoto, or drag (multiple) photos to desktop and then drag into iPhoto.Apple Care tells me it's one of the glitches of Mtn Lion.
has anyone figured out a way around it?Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?

"SEND AGAIN" will not allow unattaching files
I have 3 files I must send to a customer "A,B,C"
Typically I send "A", call up the sent message "A", change the wording to read "B" delete the "A" attachment, attach "B" and send again and repeat for "C".
This saves me from typing addresses, body copy etc three times and works fine on windows outlook.
Now I cannot do this. When the file is called up using "send again" I cannot edit anything in the message. Is there an "EDIT MESSAGE AS NEW" setting that will allow editing a sent message?Jack Ball wrote:

there is no such setting. this should be automatic. if it doesn't work something is wrong with your Mail. try restarting Mail. -
Safari on Lion will not allow popup windows to return data to the website
I have a web-based application that uses pop-up windows to capture certain user changes. One example is the user changing the default number of hours to a new specific number. The problem is that with Safari on Lion, the data does not get returned to the website.
I have tested this function with Windows and IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari with no problem. I have tested it with my Macbook system running Snow Leopard and Safari, with no problem. I have tested it with my Macbook and Firefox with no problem. I've used the Firefox Firebug debugging tool with no errors found.
Debugging has proven that the data is being captured by the popup, and it is assigned to the returnValue. However, the website never receives that data - the object is empty. This error is happening with every popup I've tried in the system covering a wide range of uses.
The only thing I have found that fixes/masks the problem is turning on the Developer menu in Safari, and then starting Javascript debugging. In that mode the problem does not occur, but I can't find any errors to fix.
It seems as if there is some change in Lion that affects the security of popup windows and returned data, but an internet search turns up no similar complaints. I have been able to reproduce the error on 3 different Macs running Lion.
I have verified that pop-up windows are not blocked, and java and javascript are enabled. I've also compared the settings on my system with the failing systems and find no Safari settings that make any difference. I've tried all the simple things like system reboots, safari resets, and cookie cleaning.
I would appreciate any ideas or information that might help. I am an experienced developer but relatively new to Mac's.
Here is the code that calls the popup and waits for the returned data :
if (window.showModalDialog)
retVal = window.showModalDialog(templink, "name", "dialogWidth:275px;dialogHeight:350px");
else
retVal = window.open(templink, "name", "height=350, width=275,toolbar=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no,resizable=no, modal=yes");
if (retVal == 'cancel')
return;
else {
frmnewhrs.lid.value = tempid;
frmnewhrs.newhrs.value = retVal;
frmnewhrs.submit(); }
This is the code in the popup that captures and sends the new data :
function preSaveCheck() {
var tempstr = document.getElementById("newhrs").value;
if (tempstr.length > 0) {
window.returnValue = tempstr;
window.close();}

Please help guys, I have a Time machine at home and it will not allow me to remove the listing of my external hard drive from the excluded files list.
I am trying to use time machine to back up the hard drive. For backing up from Macbooik pro and Imac, there is no problem. It seems to not want to allow the external drive to be removed from the Excluded list and as such will not back up from it.
Is there a way to be able to transfer files (music, movies etc) to time machine, format the external drive then put the files back to hard drive?
Sorry it is a long winded question but it is driving me nuts that I cant sort this out.
The <Macbook and Imac are both running mountain lion.
Thanks GuysAs for the hard drive to which you have never been able to write, is it by any chance in NTFS format? OS X can read NTFS for importing files, but it does not contain code for writing on an NTFS volume. That's a choice, not a bug.
There is third-party software available to install NTFS-writing capability into OS X. An example is Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X. Another alternative would be to use a disk format that both Macs and Windows systems can use for both reading and writing; this would require either a new drive or erase the existing data.
If by "the new system software" you mean OS X 10.9 Mavericks, you may want to repost that portion of your query in the Mavericks forum at https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mavericks . I haven't made the leap yet.
I don't know what other problems you have been having, so I cannot comment on them. You don't seem to have any other recent postings on these forums. -
HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files
My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?
I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file. I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application. What is the problem, and how do I solve the problem. Thank you. Jeff
First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Hello, Indesign 6 will not allow me to save and close my file
Hello, Indesign 6 will not allow me to save and close my file
Try exporting to .idml. If that works, openthe .idml and save as a new .indd.
If it doesn't work, force quit ID and then restart. Auto-recovery should kick in and reopen the file at about the last state, then try again. -
i have acrobat standard and it will not allow me to edit.. every file i go to open it says "there is a active file open and must close in acrobat" other times it says account cannot be validated after I have already paid for it.. please advise
Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

"Set Associations" will not allow Office 2013 Programs / executables to be Associated to a file type
Have Office 2010 and 2013 installed (installing 2010 first, then 2013) and after Windows Update applied Office 2010 SP2 later on, all of my Office file associations (except for Outlook, it points to 2013 as
expected) open up Office 2010 programs. And I'm happy that some programs (Access for example) continue to default to Access 2010.
Ok, so the problem is that for those Office programs that I want to associate to 2013 versions (Excel, PowerPoint & Word as the biggest examples), when I go into "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default
Programs\Set Associations" and pick .doc as an example (I've also tried .xls, .xlsx, .docx) and click on "Change Program", then "More Options", "Look for another app on this PC", and finally navigate to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office 15\root\office15" to double click on excel.exe or winword.exe as appropriate, the selection is ignored (i.e. the icon doesn't change to the Office 2013 style and double clicking on .doc file opens it up in Word 2010).
I do understand there is a "Fix" by either repairing the Office 2013 install or I believe to have seen a Microsoft downloadable fix program, though I do not want to run these as I'm told they will reset
all file associations to Office 2013, and there are still a couple of programs I want to open up in Office 2010, till I get a comfort level with Office 2013. Also realize that once Office 2013 SP1 comes out, it will do the same thing that Office 2010
SP2 did and change the file associations to 2013, whether I want it to or not, hopefully by then I won't have much need for Office 2010.
Also, I find it troubling that the "Set Associations" will not allow me to select specific programs, and I wonder which other File Associations has Microsoft felt appropriate to restrict access.
Look forward to the feedback as it pertains to the above (which I realize is unique to my IT Testing needs).
Thank you,Hi,
We can try to change the file associate in Registry key:
For all users on this computer, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes.
For current user account, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes. If there is no such extension, please create new keys for it.
Hope these could be helpful.
