I got locked out of Mac os 9 and now I can't get into OS 9 or OS X. All I see is the Macintosh SE and a finder face and text that says "mac os 9.2 welcome to mac os". I can't get into COntrol Panel to reset the password to allow me to get in.

Do you have OS X and OS 9 installed on your Mac? If so, startup with the Option key depressed. This will open the Startup Manager window. Select the OS you want to start from & click the right arrow.

Trouble with home sharing after apple tv update

trouble with my home sharing after apple tv up date

Same here. iPhone, Mac Mini and Apple TV3 are all up to date. Logged in and out on each device and home sharing and airplay still don't work at all. Nothing shows up in the remote app. They're all on the same network and have been. The only thing I can think of is the most recent ATV firmware update, but why would my phone be unable to see my computer??
Any secret commands to try?

Apple Logic Pro Crashing after Apple Security update

Everytime I try to open up a Logic Project in my 3.0 Ghz Mac Pro Logic will not open and just crashes. This started happening after I updated with the new Apple Security update. Most of the Logic Projects were done when I had the 2.5 Ghz Quad. Not sure if it was the Security update or using the intel mac to open older projects.
My current set-up Apple Mac 3.0 Ghz Xeon chip Configuation. 3 gb of memory.
Any help on this would be a great. I have a performance in three weeks and have to get this sorted out before hand so I can master my instrumentals.

I have the Mac Intel 3.0 as well, and it's working pretty well. I do open up Logic tracks that were created on a G5, with only one big problem, all of the program change boxes become checked. Also, the old environments can cause problems.
I notice your profile says you're running system 10.4.6. If so, you should upgrade to at least 10.4.8. Trashing your preferences is also good, as is repairing permissions. 3 Gig of memory should be fine until you go nuts with plugins.
I've upgraded to 10.4.9, but you have to download the combo install from the Apple web site. The incremental upgrades create problems.
After you've upgraded Logic, try opening up a blank Autoload. If that opens, then the program is working, at least that far. You might have to rebuild your Environment from scratch. No fun, but it will eliminate problems from earlier sequences. Good luck.

2nd incident: no workie after apple sw update

long time mac owner, but currently a frustrated one...
imac less than 6 months old, and for the 2nd time after updating sw i am unable to use the machine. first time was after a security update, and the whole disk permissions / drive errors fiasco which resulted in a fresh OS install and unfortuantely some data loss (but machine was only a few weeks in use, so no biggie). now after installing (what seems to be weekly itunes updates) machine won't start: flashing ? folder.
started from install DVD and ran disk utility: it lists the internal drive, but won't let me actually do anything to it (i.e. can't mount, verify, test, nada).
next i thought i'd just re-install and archive, but the installer can't find the drive either. ugh.
suggestions?
(sometimes i miss the good old days of system 9... did i just say that out loud?)
thanks in advance.

Good morning,
I'll pretend I didn't hear the System 9 comment...
You ran your Disk Utility from the installation CD and it does see the drive? Does it correctly identify the drive size and filesystem? If it does, that is odd, it sounds like the drive has become corrupted or unreadable for some reason, possibly a bad drive, but the fact it's seeing the drive at all makes me a bit skeptical.
You might give it a try to boot into Safe Mode and see what happens, more information and instructions can be found at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393. Might not result in much, but if it boots then we can almost count out bad hardware.
Or, if the machine is under 6 months, you might give some thought to making a Genius Bar appointment and seeing if they can give you a hint or two... (Assuming the wealth of technical knowledge here on the boards can't get it fixed first.)
Let me know if it is IDing the drive properly and if the boot to Safe Mode works...

I bought a brand new mac after Apple said I had ruined my MBP with water damage- but now it works fine?

I'm a little bit confused here. I bought the latest Macbook Pro before university late September 2011, and unfortunately had a little accident involving a leaky bottle of juice.
I dried it out as much as I could, and took it to my nearest Apple store two days later, where, to my dismay the guys at the Genius bar said it was broken beyond a reasonably priced repair. I was faced with an estimated £800+ bill, or the option to buy a new one.
As I was going back to Uni for my last term, I needed a computer of some kind and hastily bought the new one. Instead of having it repaired, I stretched an extra £100 on the repair bill and bought the Macbook Air.
The guy who served me thought it was a good idea for me to buy a new one (obviously) and kept reminding me that even if I do get it repaired, the 'corrosion' could spread and it might need repairing again.
The problem throughout all of this is after spending ANOTHER £1000 only a few months after buying the first macbook, I am typing on the so called 'water damaged' macbook right now.
They told me it was completely busted, but apart from cosmetic water marks on the screen I am failing to see what's wrong with it.
Have I been ripped off? Can I sell the water damaged MBP?
I hope someone can help me!

As far as selling it, I don't know what you would get for it. I know in my opinion if I was going to buy it and it worked, if it didn't look really bad, I MIGHT buy it, but that would really mean taking a look at it and seeing what is in store and what kind of condition it is in at the moment. The thing with liquid, it does weird stuff when mixed with electronics. I once had a portable gaming system that I spilled some pop on. It didn't work right away because everything was still wet and liquid and electronics don't mix well. However, after letting it dry off, it worked great. Only problem I had with it at that point were the buttons started to stick. And when they stuck, they would cause me to screw up my games sometimes becuase when I would go to push the buttons, they wouldn't go down right away and would be delayed and with games, that is the problem. When you needed the button pressed now it wouldn't go right away. This is not necessarily a problem with the computer say if you were typing or anything, but the point being, it may not show serious signs right now, but that doesn't mean that later it isn't going to. However, as stated above, you might be able to get something for it as there are other parts worth value. Maybe not the full computer, but pieces to part out if someone else were to find one that needed parts because there were parts of theirs that went bad and needed replaced. I think if you were to fully disclose what happened and let them know that there could be something still going on with it that may cause a problem down the line, you might find someone who wants to try out a mac before making that purchase of $1000 to buy a new one. I would try to sell it, worst thing that happens is you don't sell it because nobody wants it, but if that is the case you are no different then you are now.

Error Message 3906 After Apple TV Update

Today my Apple TV updated. Once the update was complete I was no longer able to connect wirelessly. I keep getting the error message -3906. If I plug my ethernet cord into the Apple TV than everything works. The issues has to do with wireless connectivity. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
Also make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of comments? You might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

Extensions Load Slow (Mac) After Latest Photoshop Update

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the below:
(On Mac - Mavericks) The latest Photoshop CC 2014 update has slowed down the loading of my two extension (these are extensions I have created in HTML5). Prior to the update they loaded fine. Also, when I uninstalled one of the extensions and then reinstall it I get error code -180 (no documentation on this error code), I click ok and then open Photoshop and the extension loads (but slow) and when I quit Extension Manger and reopen it the extension shows it is loaded.
No problems with the extension in Windows 7 after the Photoshop update. The extensions load as before the update.
Also, error code -180 is a mystery. I have searched the web and can find no reference to it. Any idea where Adobe lists their error codes?
Any insights on this issue will be appreciated - Sam
PS - When one of my extension pallets displays a blank window, I click in the pallet and the extension loads. Strange!

Please post your problem to Photoshop General Discussion so that it can reach more people and get better support.

ICloud won't work on mac after apple ID changed

I just updated my apple ID today. The same ID seemed to work on the mac Apps and iTunes store and my ipad iTunes and apps after I restarted them (restarting and updating the new ID to be the same). But this evening my mac iCloud said it can't/ isn't working. My iCloud apple ID is the OLD applel ID. It is greyed out and I can't update it. Please tell me what settings to change or what I have to do to get my iCloud up and running again.
I don't want to delete everything from iCloud with sign out unless that is the only way.
I guess I don't understand what happens to my data if I sign out of the cloud. Is it lost to my old apple ID or is it just floating there until I pick it up again with my new apple ID?
Please help me fix this
Thanks

Good day haynechi,
If your external hard drive will not mount on your MacBook Air but it will show up in Disk Utility, you may need to erase the hard drive in order to get it to show up on the Mac again. NOTE - this process will destroy any data on the drive, so be sure you have anything on there backed up somewhere else before you begin!
Use the steps in this article -
Disk Utility 12.x: Erase a disk, CD, or DVD
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Locked out of iPhone. Can't update, access or save anything from my phone.

I was never able to access the cloud becuase of another problem where Apple seems to think I'm using an old email as my apple id. (i'm using gmail these days, and the old email- the one I don't use anymore was for comcast) and I kept getting alerts whenever I tried to use it: texting, net surfing, apps- would be interrupted. The message was of the old email address, and then it would ask for my password. I use the new email for buying things on itunes and what-not, so I would just ignore the alerts involving the comcast email.
To sign into the cloud, it ALWAYS wanted to use my comcast email. So I couldn't get into the cloud. So I was never able to back up my iphone/ save my pictures and videos.
The new update has been out for a few weeks now and I finally get around to updating my phone. (plug my phone into my macbook, itunes up and running) It gets through all the other processes pretty normal. Then a popup on my computer says that it cannot finish the update because of a lack of space. I delete a few albums, make space and try again. Now the screen- when not turned off- is stuck with an icon of the itunes note, and the image of the cord indicating that it is plugged in I suppose. My itunes on my computer is giving me only one option: Restore iPhone. (There's another button that says 'Check for update' but it's not clickable) It also tells me that my software is up to date.
Still, I can't do anything with the phone. Nobody can call me either, it goes straight to voicemail. Aside from deleting everything I've ever had for two years on that phone, HOW do I just use my phone?
Also: I was able to access and start up iCloud account AFTER all of this went down. Previously, because I couldn't get into it, I just didn't bother with it. When I asked a friend for help, they were able to set all that up for me, but the problem with the phone remains, so even though it's finally up and running, I can't access my photos etc to stream.

Locked in recovery mode after 3.0 update, common solution not working

A few minutes into updating my touch to 3.0, my computer says "found new hardware" and wants to install the driver for "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)". It can't find a driver so it asks me to install from disk, but of course there is no disk.
the ipod shows the picture of the usb cable and the itunes logo, and restarting it doesn't do any good. every time i plug it in, i get the same thing.
people have told me that the resolution to this problem is this
1. Dissconnect your iPhone.
2. Reboot & reconnect the phone.
3. Select "Install Drivers Later".
4. Open the Start menu > (Right click) My Computer > Select Properties.
5. Select "Device Manager" from the top left pane.
6. The phone will be listed under "Other devices" as Apple Mobile Device.
7. Right click it and select update drivers - Select "Browse my computer..."
8. Navigate to c:
Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
9. Click okay - Watch it install - Backup & Update with iTune - Chill out.
okay so i followed that to the letter, and it tells me "windows could not find the driver software for your device, etc."
so, could somebody please help?

Here's another option for you-
If you have access to another PC running iTunes 8.2, you can use that to restore you Touch to version 3.0. After the restore, you'll be able to sync with your regular PC and reload all your things.
Here's how-
Do not connect you Touch to the 2nd PC yet. You'll need to copy the 3.0 update from your machine to the 2nd PC. The update on your machine should be located at C:\Documents and Settings\(account name)\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. The file name is iPod2,13.0_7A341Restore.ipsw Copy this file into the same folder on the 2nd PC. It's possible that the folder ......\iPod Software Updates doesn't exist on the 2nd PC. If so, you'll need to add it, then copy the iPod2,13.0_7A341Restore.ipsw file into it.
Connect your Touch and do the restore, but don't sync it. You'll now have 3.0 installed and you should be able to connect to your main PC and sync your Touch.

Unable to print after Apple software updates

I was able to print wirelessly without any problem until I had last updates. I'm able to print with hardwires, but not able to print wirelessly except Text Edit let me print wirelessly, but Safari or any other apple application don't print including third party applications. I deleted and added printer several times, have updated driver from internet. I have three mac computer at home, they all are working fine. I also ran disk permissions, ran disk utility, still same issue.
What could be reason, you think, I may need to reinstall my system software (Archive and Install possibly)? Or should I pull out some printer plist files? I need your advice, thanks

I have exactly the same problem! HELP PLEASE!!
Thanks

Printing with Epson 2880 after Apple Software Update of Epson Drivers

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed the loss of "Print Settings and Color Management" controls in the print dialogue when printing from Lightroom or Photoshop after the recent Driver Update (which appeared in Software Update.) Prior to the Update which I had been avoiding until it came down when I updated iTunes (again, Software Update) all print options were available with the Epson software. Oddly, if you elect allowing the printer to control the output the color and color settings are available but if you set the (Lightroom or Photoshop) dialogue to the paper profile then the color and color settings are grayed out. I talked at length with both Epson Tech support and went through the drill of removing and installing the printer and installing the newest drivers (from Epson) and nothing changed. I talked with Apple and again, nothing changed inspite of various adjustments. This is just a little disturbing since I do a considerable amount of photo printing.
Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

I'm going to make an additional comment to my question and that is, strange as the behavior is, this may be a normal function with the update. Although during my roughly hour talk with Epson tech support, the rep was not aware and gave me reason to believe what was (not) happening in the software was in fact wrong. Clearly, the new print dialogue with it's grayed out settings is different from the previous print dialogue and print settings. If you now use a paper profile - regardless of manufacturer - the software assumes you are going to turn off color management - which is absolutely correct. Although I have not tried it, I am led to believe from some material I found deep in Epson's Support, the "color" area in the print dialogue no longer permits electing printing in "advanced" Black and White. More correctly, inorder not to have B&W grayed out you must be using glossy paper and the correct black ink cartridge is in the printer. This isn't a bad idea but sometimes I find the image is better with a Matte paper. Obviously you can, and I have, printed in B&W - you just have to be aware that within the Color settings of the print dialogue you no longer have the "option" to select B&W or advanced B&W. In some strange ways the new dialogue and settings areas of the Apple print menu for the Epson printers is simpler but it does come as a surprise when you first struggle with the changes.
