Mac update os9 and keyboard

hi i have 2 prob. 1; only half of my keyboard works 2 i cannot install mac 9.1 udate

Hi, MainePunk -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
There's lots of room for us to use here when we post - feel free to enter a lot of information, not only about your problem(s) with your machine but also about your machine. The better the descriptions, the fewer questions we may need to ask.
What specific model iMac do you have? If you're not sure, what is the CPU (processor) speed, and what kind of CD drive does it have (tray-opening, or slot-opening)? How much RAM does it have? Has the hard drive ever been replaced? How big is the hard drive, and how much free space is available?
Have you tried a different keyboard? Most keyboard key-response problems are traceable to the keyboard itself - damage from dirt or liquids is most common, but keyboards do sometimes fail outright. The best test is to use another known-good keyboard - if the problem disappears, the fault is with the keyboard.
What kind of problems are you having with installing the OS 9.1 update? Just stating "i cannot install mac 9.1 udate" is about the same as taking your car to a repair shop and saying it makes a funny sound. With more info about the nature of the problem(s) we can probably help.

App Store MAC Updates download and install, yet show as needing Update

I have, 4 times now, selected UPDATE on two apps that show as having free updates. they do so and tell me they are installing, and the buttons change to installed.
Then I quit App Store, to find the red button with 2 in it re-appears and I start the process again.
Never had this issue on iPad.

Ok...
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the LIbrary folder then the Caches folder.
Move these files to the Trash: com.apple.appstore and com.apple.storeagent
Now from the same Library folder open the Preferences folder. Move these files to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder, open the Cookies folder. Move this file to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
If you don't see the com.apple.storeagent files, don't worry about it.
Restart your Mac. See if that made a difference.

Mac OS8.6 and keyboard access

Greetings.
I have an old PowerComputing Powerbase 180 computer, which I believe was based on the Performa. It has Mac OS 8.6.
After several years of not using the computer, I got it to boot up--but found the USB mouse (I added a USB card) did not function. The Mac said it could not locate the software. I must have thrown out the original mouse, which I think was broken, long ago.
I have not been able to find a convenient list of access keys and functions, for use on the keyboard, without the mouse. I am hoping to be able to operate the computer from the keyboard, locate the USB functions and turn them on (I think they are disabled).
Can anyone help me? I used to use these occasionally, but cannot remember how to work the computer from the keyboard. Thanks very much.

Jan,
If you are still looking, you are probably going to think this is really elementary.
I was going to double check and go back to the system folder, as you suggest, and look for the Universal Access controller. I was working okay with the machine--after I had inserted the PowerComputing CD (recall that I was getting a question mark when I tried to start the Mac alone). After putting in the CD, the machine opened normally, with my original hard disk showing and controlling the computer (thus, I could get to the System Controls, yesterday). But then, something happened and I re-started, and then only the CD showed up, not my hard disk. So now I can't do what you asked, accessing the machine's actual control panels (the Startup Disk control panel on the CD does not show the original hard disk--which I think I could not select anyway, because I don't have a mouse).
So now I have this neutered computer running on the CD (by the way, again I was unable to startup the Mouse Keys that are located on the Universal Access control the CD). I have restarted, removed the disk, tried to start up, with no luck.
I used to to go through this on occasion, and was always able to start up from my hard disk. But I have not had to do this in years! I have had no such problems on my PowerBook.
So, what am I doing wrong now--and I know this is all elementary....

After catalyst 10.10 / xorg 1.9 update, mouse and keyboard don't work

Hi guys,
Yesterday I got the new catalyst update together with the new xorg server, but after rebooting and starting x, I neither could move the mouse nor press short cuts.
I have reinstalled xf86-input-evdev and xorg-input-drivers, but still same issue.
How to fix this?
Edit: Solution: remove [xorg18] repo from /etc/pacman.conf
Thanks

yes, see my rc.conf

New iPod touch 5g is only recognized in iPhoto, not iTunes. Restarted mac, updated software and have most recent iTunes. Help?

The iPod is my son's birthday present and I wanted to have his music on it for him for tomorrow. Help?

Thanks roaminggnome, I appreciate the reply. Unfortunately I have already gone through the troubleshooting steps (twice) and still have the same results. I'm puzzled about the 5th gen thing though... 4g... 5g... I guess my learning curve is pretty steep. : )
My macbook is still not recognizing the ipod in itunes...boooooo... Any other ideas on how to fix this are much appreciated. : )

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Does the App launch form the Applications Folder rather than the DOCK ?
The icons in the DOCK are links to the App. Sometimes this link can get broken.

Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?

What kind of noise?
The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

Share Magic Mouse, Screen and Keyboard between two Macs

Hi folks,
I'm considering buying a Magic Mouse for my work/studio-setup, mostly because of the way the touch and gesture features are implemented in Logic Pro X. Until now, I have used a Mac Pro directly connected to one DVI-display as well as a MBP. Both computers are also connected to a KVM-Switch sharing a second DVI-display and a wired Logitech Mouse and wired Apple Keyboard. I always liked this setup because I can switch between mouse and keyboard for the computers and the screen they share with the single click of a button on the KVM's remote control.
Is there any way that is as simple to control as this that I could set this up using a Magic Mouse while making sure that I can still use all Apple-specific gesture and touch functionality? From what I have read some people are using Bluetooth-Dongles on their KVMs USB-Ports, other use Software like Synergy or ShareMouse. But all of these solutions seem to make the setup more complex or seem to make some of the functionality I would buy the Magic Mouse for unusable. Instead of having to install some additional software on my machines that runs in the background all the time and is prone to compatibility issues etc., I would prefer a solution that is based on hardware and uses just Mac OS system features. Also, a solution that takes more then a couple of seconds to switch everything (KVM) between systems is not of practical use for my workflow. I would very much appreciate any hints or experience on this topic that you can share.
Regards,
Michael

Automatic does not work for me on this particular task. . My primary computer is an iMac. On travel I use a MacbookPro. I want the MacbookPro to have the same Contacts list as the iMac. I am logged into iCloud on both computers. The MacbookPro needs to be syced. On it I logged out of icloud, and in doing so I chose to delete files from the computer. Then I logged in again to icloud. That put a lot of additional lists of groups into the Contacts, lists that are not on the iMac. But some individual pages are not updated to match the iMac.
I tried to manually copy (and overwrite) the various files on the MacbookPro that seemed to deal with the Contacts, including
my Library/Applicatiion Support/AddressBook
my Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
They are still not the same.
On my Macbook I unchecked the Contacts, which deleted them and checked them again. This now deleted all of my groups and the individual ones are not synced with the iMac.
So now I have had three different versions of Contacts on the Macbook, as I manipulated turning on and off iCloud, and not one of them has been the same as on iMac.
How do I get the Macbook contacts to be the same as on iMac?

Can't update iPhoto and other apps after upgrading to Yosmite. Bought the computer at a Mac Store complete with iPhoto, iMovie, Numbers, Pages etc so the App store sayes we can't upgrade because these were not purchased through the App store.

Until this gets resolved we can't access iPhoto or my iPhoto library. Unfortunately didn't back up my photos before we "upgraded" to Yosmite. Any ideas?

You need to update the information regarding what Mac this is and what version of OS X you're running.
You show a PB G4, which won't run the Mac App Store.

Just did a Mac update yesterday for Yosemite and I can not open a picture in elements with out it crashing. Spent over 4 hours with Mac and it came down to an Adobe Issue with the New Photo which is replacing the I photo. Elements does not recognize it,

Does anyone know a direct number for adobe that will not cost you to just ask about their program which will not work with a new mac update!

You can do that in iPhoto, too. Just go to the iphoto prefs>advanced, and set PSE as your external editor. Note that the actual editor is not the file at the top level of Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number >, but rather hidden away inside the Support Files folder:
Then you just right the click the photo in iphoto and choose edit with external editor.
If you have the new Photos app, you can't drag and drop, either.

I am using FCP 7.0.3.on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?

.. and by the way, the jump from FCP 6.0.3 to FCP 7.0 (or higher) isn't an "update" It's a full version "upgrade" that has to be done using the install discs (or disc images).

There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4". Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files. Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen. Do you not have a backup? The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear.

My MAC did a software update tonight and now my mail wont load, it is teeling me I need to update my mail software, can someone tell me how to do this please?e

My mac updated softwar tonight and now I have no mal, can someone tell me how to udate my mail sofware please ?

I assume you're talking about Security Update 2012-004 for Snow Leopard? Have you by any changed moved your Mail application out of the Applications folder? This will cause updates to fail to work - Apple's included applications should always be left where Apple installed them.
If this is the case, move it back, then downlad the update from Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard) and run it again.

I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
Any ideas ...Please!

Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?
