Since I updated my MacBook Pro system software yesterday (10.8.5) my LACIE backup won't work - says it's "read only"
What type of backup TM, clone, other?
Get Info (command-i) on your backup volume, under Sharing & Permissions be sure Ignore Ownereship is not checked marked. Here's what I get for a clone...
And like this for a TM backup volume... -
I had to return my first IPad2, and now the new one won't connect to iTunes. I verified I had the latest version, used the new cable and verified the port worked by syncing with my iPod, I reloaded 10.2.2 and restarted my PC. Still won't work - thoughts?
Sorry - found a couple of good threads right after posting.

Hi, a week ago my macbook pro wanted to do an update, so I clicked yes, it went on to do the normal and then offered to restart, since then I have not be able to restart. I have tried almost everything. When I turn on the power button, all you can hear are the fans and nothing else. Its not very old, does anyone know what I can do as I dont seem to be able to get any support from apple.
By everything, I am assuming you have tried resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) and PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379). If you haven't tried this yet, please do!
See the following support document as well: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367.
The update you're talking about was the firmware update. Hopefully resetting the PRAM gets you up and running. Try resetting it 3 times in a row (hold the keys down until you hear 3 startup chimes).

MacBook Pro froze on update so restarted now I only get to logo and loading animation
I was updating my MacBook Pro 15" i7 late 2010 when it seemed to freeze saying 'moving one item'. I left it for a while 1.5 hrs and still no change so restarted the MBP.
Now it won't to beyond the apple logo and spinning loading icon.
Started up on OSX lion recovery and verified and repaired but still no joy on restart.
Any ideas?Hey MSU16323,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you get a gray screen during startup. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Airport card will not turn on after security update yesterday. worked normally (for the download of the update) until then. Wifi here works fine with my Macbook Pro right now so the issue is with the card / computer / software not the provider. Did the update change something?

Instld. Moz. update; can get to site, but password won't work now
I loaded Mozilla update 10. My home page got changed. I fixed that. Now when I go to my bank website, it doesn't recognize my password and I can't get in. I checked add-ons; all are enabled that should be. I cleared history before; what is going on?? How do I get back into my bank? When I called the bank, they get into the site from the same page I'm using by putting in my password; the same page on my computer tells me that the password is not valid??? Did I do something when I downloaded? How do I get back in ? Thanks Judy
Hi!
It seems that in the upgrading process part of your data was lost. Take a look to this article to find out how to recover it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=3&e=es&as=s#w_passwords -

I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!
Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot. After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
Your help is really appreciated"Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help -
My early 2011 MBP 13" does not recognize my Sandisk 16GB 45MB/s Extreme Pro SDHC card. I went to the Genius Bar and we tried it in all the MacBook Pro's in the Apple Store and NONE could recognize the card. However, iMacs did. Any suggestions? Genius behind the Bar suggested wait for LION OS X release...
You really don't need to post multiple times, you will get attention eventually.

I have a Macbook Pro. I updated to 10.9.4 an downloaded the trial for Creative Cloud. It downloaded and installed but will not open. I shut down and tried reinstalling. Same problem.
Thanks.I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.

WHAT??? Now that's a disappointment! I was sure the all-seeing, all-knowing Prof. Kappy would instantly discover the problem thru time and space....
Ok, back to the issue at hand, the Prof. is right. In none of the OP's participation, nor in any of his choir of followers save mommy power is there the least hint of what Apple product is failing. While y'all get a move on and disgorge the details, may want to try a Safe Boot. Hold down the Shift key prior to the startup chime and wait awhile. IF it starts, then it means you have some third-party software that's causing the problem. Else there's a strong probability a complete reinstall will occur in your near future.
In the future and in spite of what some purists may say, be sure to service the system disk BEFORE patching. By "service" I mean booting up the Mac using your Install DVD (Snow Leopard or priors) or booting in Recovery Mode (Command R, in the Lions and successors), running the Disk Utility found in that mode and doing a Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions. Until NO errors show up. Cause patching up an already damaged system will only make things worse. -

Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPhone 4s is not recognized in iTunes for Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:
