MAC OS-X Lion and Error 51 - More help needed
There has been a great thread on this that was previously marked answered and closed. It refers to the a great article written by Anders Brownworth and includes a link to a tool to decrypt the "shared key" embedded in the PCF file sent by my company.
The decoder that Anders refers to will not properly decrypt the code from my PCF file and the client on my MAC responds with "The VPN Shared Secret is incorrect."
It looks like I am really close to making a connection, but I can't get past this error.
Is there no way to just import the PCF file into the MAC client?
Hello Robert,
In Windows 7 you would need to use the Cisco IPsec client which operates the same way as it does in XP with regards to the pcf. So I am not sure why you are having trouble with Win7, if you are still having trouble with Win7 using the Cisco IPsec client please start a new thread for that specific issue as it is separate and distinct from Mac OS X and using the Mac OS X built in client.
Did you follow this guide:

Thanks tomas.truchly.
I have not heard of an issue with the Mac OS X Built-in client when properly configured and when the head-end has the security levels necessary.
Also, since this thread has been Answered, to help ensure you get the help you need it might be best to open a new thread.

MAC OS-X Lion and Error 51 - Help Needed ASAP Please
Greetings,
I have been using the Cisco VPN Client (4.9.01) for Mac under Snow Leopard (10.6.x) without any issues.
Since upgrading to Lion earlier today I am now receiving an Error 51 - unable to communicate with the subsystem.
I found a thread that suggested restarting the system while holding down Opt/3/2 keys to force a 32-Bit restart and the Client will indeed run. However, this is a bandaid patch.
Has Cisco addressed this issue? Is there a better workaround at this time?
Thank you,

I have just up graded my i mac to Mountain Lion and now cannot open my e mails in entourage or my word documents. What do I do to get them back?
It looks like you have Office 2004, which doesn't run on Mountain Lion. Upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011.

New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.
I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL. Is it not compatible? Is it really a PowerPC program??? I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago! Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.
How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....
If you need further help, here is the URL for the Final Cut Studio forum:

I ran bootcamp and tried to install Windows 7. I end up with a DOS screen and an unresponsive keyboard.
I have been on line with Apple and microsoft and they can't help. I have lated versions of Lion and bootcamp. HELP!
My Lion is up to date.
I used the 64-bit windows disc.
Should I try parallels?Do you have a DOS screen with a command prompt or just a blank screen?
Is your Windows 7 x64 an original MS Full Version Installation DVD?
Did Windows 7 Install Disc start?
If it did you would have had to choose the location of where to install Windows 7.
Did you select the Partition named BOOTCAMP that corresponded to the Partition Size you created in BootCamp?
Were you asked to format the Partition?
Did you format the partition to NTFS and then get an option to click NEXT and actually start the Windows 7 installation?
Do you have a wired USB keyboard and wired USB mouse?
If you actual went through the installation and restarted then here are some things to try:
First try doing a CONTROL-ALT-DELETE and see if a Windows Option Screen appears.
If you get the Screen you will have some options displayed.
You want to highlight and click TASK MANAGER which should be the bottom choice I beleive.
If Task Manager runs you will get a window showing all the processes running.
See if you can find EXPLORER.
If EXPLORER is running highlight it and go to the bottom right and click the END TASK button.
Now go to the Top Left Menu Bar.
Click FILE
In the sub menu that opens select RUN or RUN NEW TASK (Not sure which it is in Windoes 7 as I am running Windows 8)
Once RUN is selected a new window will open to CREATE NEW TASK
Type in EXPLORER and then the OK button.
If Windows 7 installed properly the Desktop should appear after a bit of time.
Your first concern is to get your keyboard running so you may have to remove and reinstall Windows using Boot Camp on the Mac Side.
Let us know how it goes.. -
My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project. After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline. When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio. I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce, it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio. Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline. I've never experienced this before. Any suggestions?When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly? If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.

my ipod generation 5 will not come out of recovery mode. i was simply updating my software and this happened. it will not let me restore it comes up with and error. please help, thanks.
Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message

If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,

If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks will I get iWork for free.
If you buy a new Mac with Mountain Lion, any included software is free and can be redownloaded from AppStore for that machine only. Some software only gets reinstalled if OS X (only) gets installed over itself to fix issues. See #8 Step here.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If you upgrade to Mavericks usually only OS X itself is changed (sometimes the hidden User Library is also), all the software (and user accounts) also carries over (compatible or not), and Apple's software is upgraded.
So if your new Mountain Lion Mac comes with free iWork, then when you upgrade to Mavericks it will still be there.
If your new Mountain Lion does not come with free iWork, then it won't magically appear for free if you upgrade to Mavericks.
If you need a free Office suit, I suggest you look at the donationware LibreOffice.
You will likely need to control key or right click to "Open" LibreOffice to approve through OS X's "Gatekeeper".
You will need to manually update it also, as it's not on AppStore.
https://www.libreoffice.org/
Benefit of LibreOffice is it's completely cross-platform compatible, so you can share working files with Windows and Linux users, which you can't with iWork.
You also should learn Microsoft Office when you have the funds, because it's standardized in the business world. -
I downloaded Mac OS X Lion and when I go to install, it says file cannot be verified, may have been corrupted during download. How do I determine if it is corrupt and how do I get a clean copy of Lion, since I have already paid for it?
Download again, move the existing file out of the applications folder first.

I have my Mac with Mountain Lion and my IPad synched and have Pages on both. I have doc in Word on my Mac I want to access on my IPad while I am away travelling. But I can't locate them. Where should I look to find my previously saved Word docs?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It looks like you haven't got them on iCloud. On your Mac, open Pages and drag the Word documents to the iCloud window -
Incorrect link to "OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier". Should be http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6025
I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).
It does indeed do that, & HT4889 seems to be MIA. -
