Mac Help in Tiger won't work

When I go to HELP for Mac Help-- nothing! I get the main screen, but when I type a word to search; or when I double-clik on any of the links-- NOTHING! With my PBG4- Panther 10.3.9 this works immediately; but with my new iBook running Tiger 10.4.3-- NO HELP FILES. I re-installed the bundled software (but not the OS)-- still no help!
Please help!-- Thanks,

Please help! Ipod won't work with my itunes after plugged into MAC

Hi, I am brand new to my ipod and i plugged it into my PC to get it started, then i plugged it into a friends mac to get his songs- now when i plug it back into my computer it says it is linked to another itunes library and asks if i want to link it back to this one and replace all of the music. I do not want to loose all of the music but want it reconnected to my itunes with the music on my computer and taking the music on the ipod (from my friends itunes) into my itunes. What do i do? I apologize if this is something posted before,i couldn't find an answer. Please help!! thanks

That above article will not resolve the issue. It explaines it clearly in the article.
"Using an iPod formatted for Macintosh on a Windows computer is not supported. Using an iPod formatted for Windows on a Macintosh computer is not supported."
this means that it won't work with out a 3rd party tool. You HAVE to restore it if you take it between different OS. That document works only if your taking it between windows machines or all mac machines.

Help please - GB won't work - Midi driver conflict with Snow Leopard

I use Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro. Ever since I upgraded to this version GarageBand won't work. When I try to launch it I get 3 or 4 pop up screens saying GB has detected software midi conflicts please update your midi drivers. If I click through these and wait for 3 or 4 minutes, GB does open but it takes ages to change anything and it shows there is no Core Audio. It also won't 'Play' an already recorded track and there is no sound for anything.   I have several plugins Including Line 6 Podfarm, and the midi drivers for Melodyne and record through an old Tascam US122 with midi.
One driver for the Podfarm was automatically put in an incompatibel Software folder when I upgraded. I put this file in Trash and updated my Podfarm drivers but it's made no difference.
In GB Preferences it shows the Tascam US122 as my recording/playback and my midi device, but also 'no midi device detected' even though it is connected.   There are no driver updates for this old Tascam model.
Everything still works perfectly in Melodyne. How can I find out which driver(s) are involved in the conflict for GB? I have no guarantee that even if I buy a new Tascam interface, or any other brand, that GB will work, even then.
Is there a way to identify which driver, or drivers, are the problem? Surely that is not beyond what a MacBook Pro can do?

I should have mentioned I use GarageBand 2009. I've read other posts all over the web where people have trouble with this Tascam US122 but with the older Leopard versions. I had no problem with ordinary Leopard 10.5.6 - it's only since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and it's only in GB.
I've tried a powered hub which has helped others, but doesn't help with my problem.
I reallly only want to know which driver/drivers are the problem.
Then I can work out a solution, even if it means buying a new interface. So long as I can't identify what the problem is, I'm not prepared to buy new equipment that might make no difference at all.
Bad luck with your electronic drums macuserrich - it's annoying isn't it!!!!

Help - Php just WON't work

I followed these directions and it simply won't work. Help. Why don't you put PHP and MYSQL in the installer itself? This is why I use Apache, and I can't stand Apache, I want to use sun, but apparently there is no hope for mysql to actually worth with your server, and php can?
4.2 Configuring Web Server to use PHP as NSAPI Plug-in
To configure the Web Server to use PHP as NSAPI plug-in, perform the following steps:
Go to the web server instance's config directory.
For example (UNIX):
/sun/webserver70/https-mywebserver/config
Add the following lines to the magnus.conf file:
UNIX/Linux:
# Initialize PHP v5.x
Init fn="load-modules" shlib="libphp5.so" funcs="php5_init,php5_close,php5_execute,php5_auth_trans"
Init fn="php5_init" errorString="PHP Initialization Failed!"
Windows:
# Initialize PHP v5.x
Init fn="load-modules" shlib="php5nsapi.dll" funcs="php5_init,php5_close,php5_execute,php5_auth_trans"
Init fn="php5_init" errorString="PHP Initialization Failed!"
Edit the obj.conf file to enable the Web Server to process a PHP-based request.
Important note: If there are more than one file with the name "*obj.conf", be sure to edit the correct file. Use wadm's get-virtual-server-prop command to get the correct file name. For more information on this command, see http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3283/6n5h03hsu?a=view.
For example:
<web server install dir>/bin/wadm get-virtual-server-prop --user=admin --config=CONFIG --vs=VS object-file
(a) Add the following lines as the first directive of the "default" object in the obj.conf file.
<Object name="default">
Service type="magnus-internal/php" fn="php5_execute"
</Object>
(b) Modify the PathCheck directive if you want the Web Server to handle index.php as an index for document directories.
change
PathCheck fn="find-index" index-names="index.html"
to
PathCheck fn="find-index" index-names="index.html,index.php"
Add the following line to the mime.types file to register the PHP extensions with the Web Server.
type=magnus-internal/php exts=php,php3,php4,php5
(Windows only). Add the <php install directory> to the system PATH so that web server can load the required dlls. Because the web server runs as a windows service, any change in the system PATH requires a restart to take effect.
For example:
PATH=...;C:\Sun\Webserver70\plugins\php;

You might also consider simply using the pre-compiled, comes with an installer script copy of PHP from here .
Unfortunately this version of PHP is a bit dated. Hopefully Sun will update it at some point.

My numbers program created on my mac version 3.0 won't work on my ipad version 2.0. It says I have to save the file with preview option but there is no such option in preferences. Any thoughts?

For the update to run Aperture must be installed in the system Application folder and named simply Aperture, not Aperture3.2.2 or anything else.
I don't know if this would also affect photo stream but if your Aperture is misnamed or installed in an incorrect location fixing that to see if it clears up the problem would be a good first step.

Mac Help "Support Articles" won't load

After searching for a topic in Mac Help, the resulting page has two sections: "Help Topics" and "Support Articles".
When I try to access one of the Support Articles, I get this error message:
The requested resource (/kb//apps/helpviewer/index) is not available
It appears that the folder "helpviewer" containing the file "index" is unavailable. After diligent searching I can't find a folder called "helpviewer" on my computer.
Test: Disconnect the computer from the internet and open a Help topic. "Help Topics" are listed, but there are no "Support Articles". This indicates that the Support Articles are on a server somewhere, and that I can download the article list but not individual articles. It appears that either the index file is inaccessible on the server or it is failing to be downloaded to my computer.
Is the fault on my computer or on the server? And what can be done about it?

I don't think that it's either your computer's or the server's fault. This happens sometimes when the support article has been updated, deleted, or re-issued and the older (referenced) version is no longer available. I just tried it and it worked with the article I asked for, but...
I've had this happen a couple of times; when that happens, I'd suggest going to the actual Apple support site and do a search there.
Edit: The "kb" refers to k nowledge b ase articles.

I need help. Earphone won't work on stereo

I have late 2012 macbook pro, upgraded to mavericks, and when i plug my earphone it won't work on stereo. the left earphone doesn't produce sound. I thought it was my earphone but apparently my earphone is fine when i plug it into my phone. Fortunately the internal speaker still works on stereo. Has anyone ever experienced this ? I can't work if there's no music.. please help!

Go to Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI setup and see what the settings look like for built in output. Maybe the left channel is muted.
I'd try another pair of earphones too. Maybe it's the earphone jack on the computer.

Java 7 for mac os 10.8 won't work

I tried to play minecraft but it wont even open. some couple days ego i was uploading my app to the app store and i was having trouble so i found this comands on a website to solve the problem.
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5
sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0
but i after i did that minecraft and the java settings won't work. I also tried to download java and install it again but it still doesn't work. Anyone noes how to fix this?
-thanks

What happened is you forced Java 5 to be running with those commands. You need to force it back to Java 7. Change 1.5 to 1.7 repeating the same commands.

Help! Cursor won't work!

I have a Blackberry Curve 8520 and the trackpad won't work. I can select the item it is on and I can access the menu but other than that, I can't do anything else due to the fact that the trackpad doesn't work

You may try to pull the battery out first and let the phone reboot and see if it fixes the issue. If not, then it is possibly a hardware issue and you need to contact your Carrier for that.
Goodluck

Help! - Filters Won't Work!

Hello!
I want to apply the photocopy filter on some of my pictures to create a mock coloring book.
It worked great on the first photo. However, now every photo just turns out all white. I even tried going back and redoing the first photo and that won't work now! I can't figure it out. Some of the other filters are having the same problem.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks!!!

Trashing the prefs will fix it, but a simpler fix for some "filters won't work" problems may just require hitting the "D" key to reset the foreground/background colors.

.mac mail send button won't work

I installed snow leopard, and now my mail won't work properly. I can compose and receive e-mails, but I cannot send them. There is no error message, the send button simply doesn't work when I click it. I tried using the manual command to send, no dice. Any ideas?

Please click on Window in the menubar of Mail, and choose Connection Doctor -- what does it report regarding the SMTP?

PLEASE HELP! LIVE won't work in LOGIC anymore

Hi,
This is my problem:
I happily worked on my MacBook Pro (2.33 GHz Tiger 10.4.11) for a long time, using Ableton LIVE as a ReWire slave to LOGIC and everything worked just fine.
I recently got myself a Mac Pro (2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-core 4 GB RAM) and on which Logic seems to be running fine by itself (as does LIVE), but as soon as I open any of my documents created on my laptop (files that were created in ReWire mode) there seems to be a latency issue, as in some of the tracks don't quite play on time and then when I quit LIVE it crashes and LOGIC crashes a couple of seconds after that too.
This happens also when I open an empty LOGIC file and start LIVE - again empty. A weird thing I noticed is that LIVE doesn't seem to crash when I quit, if I haven't pressed play. Only after playing something either in LOGIC or in LIVE do I get the crashes.
If anyone has got any suggestions for this I'd be SOO grateful - I've been searching the internet and forums all day and can't seem to find any answers for this weird problem ... Could it be something to do with Leopard?
PLEASE HELP!

Also, Connection Doctor says I'm connected to the
internet just fine.
The Connection Doctor in Mail should list your email accounts and whether it can access them.
Sounds like Mail has gotten confused about your .mac password. In Mail, go up to the menu bar Mail, go down to Preferences, select your .mac account and re-enter your password under "Incoming Mail Server".
You may also have to re-enter your password under "Outgoing Mail Server" also.

Mac crashed, now mail won't work properly

I had a big crash last night and after several hours manged to get up and running. The problem now is that when I try to launch mail I get the "Welcome to mail in Tiger" and it attempts to import my messages (which I didn't attempt to move in the first place). When I hit continue it seems to atempt to start the import saying their are over 2600 messages to import, but then immediately stops and shuts mail down. What am I doing wrong here? Everything was working fine before the crash.
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Reinstalling won't restore your data, regardless of whether you reinstall the whole system or just the Mail application. If you have no backup and the contents of HOME/Library/Mail/ have really vanished, there is nothing you can do to restore your mail data. What I don't understand is why Mail crashes upon start up if there is nothing in the Mail folder...
Did you repair the disk after the crash? I'm not talking about repairing permissions here, but rather about repairing the disk itself. If you did, and Mail still crashes after moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the HOME/Library/Preferences/ folder, post the relevant part of the crash report here, so I can try to figure out why Mail is crashing.
In order to do that, open /Applications/Utilities/Console, choose View > Show Log List, expand ~/Library/Logs, then CrashReporter, and select Mail.crash.log. The latest crash report should appear at the bottom of that file. Look for a line that begins with "Date/Time:" as close to the bottom as possible, and another that says "Thread N Crashed:", where N is a number. Select everything from the "Date/Time:" line to the lines immediately following "Thread N Crashed:". Copy that text and paste it here. Do not post the whole crash log, just the relevant lines. See the following two threads for examples of what a crash report looks like (the second has extra unnecessary information):

ICloud/iTunes store/Mac App store login won't work

Hi there,
for about a week now I've been having troubles on my MBP (mid-2009, running 10.8.2). I can't seem to connect to my iCloud account from this MBP (on the other hand, iMac and iOS devices still working flawlessly with iCloud). It started first with iMessage shutdown, and later I found out my iTunes and Mac App accounts won't load as well (again, working flawlessy on iMac). Therefore I can't even update to 10.8.3.
What could be the problem? Has anyone else experienced anything of the kind? This is really weird, as I don't think I made any change to pretty much anything when the iMessage stopped working and everything else ensued....
please, help!

oh, I forgot, when I try to log in to the icloud thru the system settings, It takes forever (spinning wheel) and ends with a message stating: "You can't seem to log in at this time. Try it later" or something like that. I've tried reboot and everything, but to no avail.

Help! iPod won't work or connect to XP

Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. All the music was erased off my 5G 30GB iPod Video last week for some reason (interestingly, the photos were still there). When connected to iTunes, it gave me an error message about needing to "reinstall the iPod software."
Today, I got a new hard drive and installed XP Pro on it. I connected the iPod via USB and the little taskbar bubble popped up saying "Found new hardware -- iPod." Next, I installed the iPod + iTunes software from the CD, restarted the PC and run iTunes. My PC and iTunes didn't indicate that the iPod was connected, so I plugged the USB cable into another slot -- nothing. (I know it isn't the USB because I plugged in a thumb drive and it works fine). I've also tried to update/restore the iPod... but alas, I can't because it's not recognized.
What happened to the iPod is even stranger. After the hard drive was wiped, I was able to turn it on and off and view photos. Now, it only displays the white Apple logo with the black background. The backlight keeps switching on and off randomly, the iPod won't turn off, and the hard drive is making the same noise it does when you change a song, only every few seconds (I assume it's doing this because it keeps turning the backlight on and off constantly).
I've only been able to use the iPod one week out of the two weeks I've had it -- and I'm really disappointed about it. Will I have to send it back to Apple? (hopefully under the 30 or 90 day warranty, whichever I qualify for)
Help is appreciated.

5G Video 30GB Windows XP Pro

In order to restore it, it has to show up on the desktop, I think. It doesn't. I downloaded the software, and it's waiting for me to plug in the iPod (which is plugged in).
I actually have been reseting it every minute or so since I read your post. Before I restore it, the battery icon doesn't show any lightning bolt or motion. Then if I restore it, it appears to be charging for a short time. I was wondering if I was going to have to charge it in lots of short increments (I don't have the optional charger).
I dug out the manual from under the desk. And it says that if it is extremely low on power, I may need to leave it charging for 30 minutes before it is recognized. I think from a sentence in there: "Leave iPod mini connected until at least the battery icon animates." So, maybe it is actually charging when it appears to be unconnected and has no lightening bolt.
I've turned it off and left it plugged in and am waiting for a charging battery icon to appear. If that doesn't work, I will try leaving it on and plugged in (so far it just turns off when I do that). Again, any suggestions are welcome.
