Mac can't open??

I downloaded the lastest software update (it was 2 gb!) and was installing it when it got stuck at the end and won't finished. So I shut it down, open it again, and found out that it was stuck again at the start up screen! The loading button keep circling so I leave it for the night and it was still like that when I woke up... What should I do now?

Try starting your computer with the original cd that shipped with it, then run disk utility on your hard drive to repair it. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

I have CS5 Mac, can I open a CS8 PC file?

I have CS5 Mac, can I open a CS8 PC file?

There is no such thing as CS8 but CS5 cannot open any INDD file created in a later version. You’ll need to get an IDML file.

Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
Regarding all 3 issues:
I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
cheers,
Joern

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

MAC - Can't open a link/URL in a new tab inside a folder

I can't open a link/URL in a new tab inside a folder from a Mac. I am sure I can do that in PC. Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Does the URL go to a regular web page, or another kind of file (e.g., PDF, PowerPoint)?
If you right-click the link and choose Copy Link Location, then paste to the address bar and press Enter, does Firefox load the link as expected?

Recently purchased a new imac and thought my old iPhoto library transferred over. It wasn't. And I can't get iPhoto to open on my old mac ("can't open your current version of iPhoto using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo lib ...

I purchased a new imac (4G, OS X 10.6.8) in Feb 2011 and thought my old iPhoto library transferred over. It wasn't. And I can't get iPhoto to open on my old mac. It says, "can't open your current version of iPhoto using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto". I don't think my old mac will support the newer version of iPhoto so I feel like I'm stuck (this is why I got a new mac -- cheaper than upgrading all my software, etc). Help! I really need to get to my old photos, and no, they are not backed up anywhere. Thanks.

You have two options:
Run the Library on a machine that has the same version as the machine that was stolen.
or
Recover the files from this library and start over from scratch.
To recover the files:
Go to your Pictures Folder (or whereever you have the back up) and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Your originals are in the Masters folder.
Note this will only recover your photos as imported from you camera.

I have InDesign on PC. If I get a file originated on a mac can I open/edit this file?

I am thinking of installing InDesign on a PC instead of a Mac.
If I get a file that has been originated on a mac will I still be
able to open and edit the file

be aware of mac "forked files" these are resource files native to mac and cannot be read/opened with a PC.
You'll usually see two of the same file:
".__yourfilename.indd" and "yourfilename.indd"
the files beginning with ".__" are useless to you on a pc and can safely be deleted. The one without ".__" is the one you will want to keep and use.
Also if you have been saving to a mac formatted hard drive (HFS+ journaled) you may have some difficulty seeing/reading this drive on your PC. You'll need to save these to a drive formatted to be read by a PC. If you cannot transition the data off an HFS+ journaled drive you can read mac drives with a program such as "macdrive"

Windows 8.1 client to Mac - can't open volumes

I have a mini with a number of drives (two internal, a few more connected via USB3 and Firewire). I have filesharing turned on (+SMB). From any other Mac on my network, I can log in using my admin account and access every drive. However, from a new Acer Windows 8.1 machine, while I can log in using my mini's Admin credentials and can see all the drives, I can only get into my Home folder on the mini. If I double-click on any of the drives (including the drive containing my Home folder), I see a green progress bar growing across the path name (at the top of the window) but the drive never actually opens; I just get the spinning blue circle and the green progress bar goes all the way to the end of the path bar and sits there. Nothing has crashed, however. I can close that window and do anything else.
I've opened Windows Firewall for this Private network in both directions (and even tried turning off the Firewall). I do not have the Firewall turned on in my Mac.
I just tried logging into the Windows machine from my Mac and I could (using cifs://IP_Address and my account info on the Acer).
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Anand
It’s happening with all pdf email attachments.
I am using Outlook.
I have Norton Antivirus – I don’t know how to turn it off – I don’t really want to delete it because it came with the Windows system
I don’t know what version I was previously using, but the version on my system is Adobe Reader X1.

Post upgrade/new Mac, can't open 08 site in iWeb 09 :(

So it's been a while and I'm finally getting back to my web page. In the interim I've got a new Macbook, on Leopard and iWeb 09 now. Trying to open the groundwork I did and of course getting no joy, appears I don't have the .sites2 file. Didn't know I needed it, and while an avid backer-upper I don't have a backup of my previous Mac anymore. The html for the pages I made before loads up in a browser fine, is there any way this can be imported into iWeb 08 or 09? or am I starting from scratch again??
many thanks

The domain.sites2 file is the holy grail of iWeb. It is the heart and soul of your web site(s) in that it contains all of the relevant files for creating the site. By default it is located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. It's your responsibility to provide for a backup of it. An external HD and Time Machine is a very good backup solution. Or you could get a flash drive and manually backup that domain file to it after every use of iWeb.

Photoshop CS1 Mac can't open file by clicking icon

I am using Photoshop CS1 on my Mac Pro running 10.5.7. When I click on an image that is labeled an Adobe Photoshop image (jpeg or tiff), Photoshop opens, but the image does not. I realize that CS1 was not designed for an Intel Mac and I plan to upgrade to CS4 in the near future, but is there any way to set Photoshop CS1 to open the image when I click on the image?
Will I be able to open the image in this way on CS4?
I found this question was asked about a year ago, but the answers were links pasted into replies and I can't get the links to work. They just open the Forums main page. Thanks for any help you can give.

I followed the instructions in the FAQ and re-installed to the desktop and then trashed the Photoshop folder on the desktop and restarted. I clicked a jpeg photo and it opened--just like magic!
Thanks again and also for the heads up regarding updates. I need a deadline to convince my funding source to spring into action.

I downloaded and installed an app and my mac can't open it.

I downloaded and installed Spider solitaire from the app store and it can't be opened. I am running ver.10.7.5 and it is up to date. I also removed the app and reinstalled it as was suggested and it still does not work. Truly a pain in the neck.I clicked on the suggested developer's website and it is all in korean or some other language and I can find no help.

here is the message I get when I try to open it
Spider Solitaire cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Spider Solitaire works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.

One scratch disk - 2 macs - can't open projects

I cut a bunch if projects on my macbook using a g-raid 500 gig HD as my scratch disk. Firewire.
Now, I've transfered all the files/info off my macbook to my iMac. The mac-to-mac firewire transfer. I've been over seas in Afghanistan on deployment...now I want to work on my home computer.
I digress. Hooked up the g-raid to my iMac, tried to open a project and got this: "File error: Access denied"
I thought everything should work being that all the settings, everything, was transfered off my macbook to the iMac. I want to use that g-raid HD as a scratch disk on both computers.
All help is welcomed. Thank you.

When I hit the drop down arrow to "sharing permissions," it gives me 3 options -- (1) my name, "read and write, or, read only...(2) "no access" and the same options...(3) "everyone" the same options, plus "no access."
So frustrating. Seems like I should just be able to plug and chug with the hard drive. All the settings on my macbook and imac should be identicle. The project loads on my macbook. I'm pulling my fricking hair out here.
For what it's worth, it's a shoot of a memorial ceremony I shot in Afghanistan. One of my closest friends was killed in action. I'm responsible for cutting the package and personally delivering it to his family, and I can't even get the frickin' thing to jive with my imac.
