My dvd player is no longer working and my mac will not accept my installer disc
my iphoto is no longer working either, as well as my dvd player, so i decided to reinstall, using my installer disc, but my computer turns it around a few times, then spits it out! what can i do?
I updated recently to os x maveric, that is when my iphoto stopped working, yet i have previous photo;s in the iphoto gallery, the dvd stopped working a while ago for no reason.
Any ideas?
It's not possible to restore the operating sysem from your install disc on a Mac running v10.9 Mavericks.
The only way to restore OS X is to startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
Try iPhoto and the DVD Player app after you restore OS X.

I ordered my new S5 online and after following the steps outlined in exact order, my old phone no longer works and the S5 will not authenticate. Now I have no phone and I am becoming frustrating.
It downloaded all my contacts, photo's with no problem. I called the number they gave me from my old phone and then turned it off. I then put the sim card in and charged the phone. I followed all the setup steps and no I cannot send any text or make any phone calls. I get a message that they cannot authenticate my phone to dial #8899 but get the same message.Hello Notahappycamper1962
Let's get that S5 up and running! I want you to love the S5! Is the old device powered off? What zip code are you in?
I look forward to hearing from you and getting this addressed.

My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.
2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?

I changed my exchange password and my ipad2 will not accept it.
I changed my exchange password and my ipad2 will not accept it. The iphone 4 did accept the new passwork
some exchange policies require a non proxy or known and secured connection to the exchange server to propagate policy/pw sync. your iphone may have been registered to the exchange server via phone number. connect your ipad to the network at work and sync, or if you have cdma/umts sync over that protocol after you have registered that device with exchange.
you should be able to manually add your device to your profile via outlook webmail under options and mobile devices. -
Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them. What can I do?
Try the advice here. I had the same problem and it worked for me.
You have to delete the "SC Info" folder from /Users/Shared. You will have to use Terminal to enable you to see this folder first. Make sure iTunes is not running when you delete the "SC Info" folder
There is an article from Apple on this here. The "SC Info" folder contains iTunes authorization information.
I did this two weeks ago and iTunes accepted by login. I haven't been asked for my AppleID or password since. -
I redownloaded my Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw will not accept my RAW files nor will the Adobe Bridge display the picture view of these files. A message displays saying it doesn't support this camera. I have a Nikon 5100 DSLR Camera. It always displayed them in the past. How can I get it to display these photos in Bridge and open them in RAW?

09 I Mac goes asleep ends up with a spinning disk on the screen and the mac will not respond has to be rebooted
First this:
In EnergySaver deselect "put the hard disk to sleep when possible". You must logout after the setting to make this effective.
This probably will not solve it, but let it be deselected.
When the issue is still there:
Open Terminal;
copy/paste following command (after every command hit "enter" key)
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
when the answer is not 3 write it down;
then copy/paste following command
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
reboot
Open Terminal;
copy/paste following command
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
after that type EXIT in Terminal and close Terminal.
This does following for you:
it will set the hibernatemode to zero: the sleepimage (a copy of the complete ram) will not be written and the space on the HD is freed up.
This sleepimage does not do anything for you but taking time at sleep/hibernate and startup. It is an old remnant of earlier days. -

I updated my 3gs and it wiped all my apps, now when trying to rebuy the apps it is asking for a postcode(i live in ireland where there are none)and it also will not accept my payment card type.any help greatly appreciated
I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots. -

My cd player on my apple will not accept the blank disc to burn it keeps spitting it out
My imac
cd payer will not accept a blank cd -r to burn music it keeps spitting it outTypically this occurs if the CD/DVD drive has been captured by a virtual machine, such as VMWare Fusion or Parallels. If you have a virtual machine, then either close it, or disconnect the CD/DVD drive from that machine.
If that fails, try my other solution:
Subject: Blank CD/DVD Not Recognized by Mac OSX
Problem: Inserting a blank CD/DVD does not automatically launch the preferred application. The report indicates "unrecognized format"
Solution: Deleted the WDNotifier.app from the "Macintosh HD - Library - Startupitems" folder, then re-start Mac OSX.
Analysis: WD Notifier is capturing the blank CD/DVD status and blocking it from being reported to Mac OSX. This appears to be a Western Digital bug in their app.

I have been using this for as long as the feature has been available along with App tabs. All of a sudden it no longer works. I have tried resetting the option to something else and then back again. I've also tried reloading and reinstalling Firefox. Neither of these worked. I can't see any other anomalies. It seems to be working fine otherwise. I use Windows 7.
Hello Carla5, '''UNCHECK the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs"''', go from Firefox button > Options to access the options window > Tabs panel > Uncheck '''Warn me when closing multiple tabs''' [ ] , click OK to save it, exit firefox and restart it.

My front and back camera won't work, and my flash will not either.
I took some picture in the rain, my iPod 5th gen wasn't affected, then my iPod was dropped in a parking lot and found later. Other than that, nothing has really happened to it, but both the front and back camera do not work. When I open up a camera, it's just black. The flash doesn't work either. Can anyone help me?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare+ extended warranty,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
