HT201340 OK! Now what do I do with my Aperture library from my old mac that will not open on my new Mac with a different operating system? do I just loose all of the pictures ?

I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and I had Aperture on the old one. Went to open it with the new OS and it says it wiil not open. How do I save my pictures and use them on the new computer?

Hello Pete from another old guy,
It sounds like you have an older iMac than the 2006 and newer model this forum covers. The problem is that, in 2006, Apple changed from PowerPC to Intel processors and third-party developers soon stopped making new software for the older processors. That's why you cannot upgrade Flash player--the current version requires a Mac the "2006 and later" processor.
However, not having a current version of FlashPlayer should not affect your ability to download. If you try downloading, do you get an error message or does something else happen?
Do you have another web browser like FireFox or Camino on your computer?
but would love to get my MAC back up to date and running right.
Well, "running right" may be doable but "up to date" may not be. You are already at as high a Mac OS level that a pre-2006 Mac can use. We need to pin down your variant to make recommendations. From your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar, do "About this Mac":
That brings up this window:
Let us know what yours say for "processor." The two choices are "PowerPC" as in the example, or "Intel." If you have an Intel processor, you have more options available.
Awaiting your report,
Allan

Wireless apple keyboard will not pair/connect to new mac mini

So, I cannot complete setup and use the computer. The keyboard IS discoverable by my macbook air.

Same with my new mac mini.
Got it brand new via the online shop.
Happy to start with the new mac i really got dissapointed by the fact that it`s impossible to pair the wireless keyboard unless you first connect a USB keyboard to the mac mini and start the configuration.
THIS ***** !!!
No hint at all from apple that you first have to connect the USB keyboard.
I had to borrowed a USB keyboard from my neighbour :-((
After setting things up it was no problem at all to establish the BT connection with the keyboard.
Works fine now.

My CD/DVD drive will not open

My CD/DVD drive will not open when I insert any type CD/DVD. The CD/DVD just runs but will not open.

Try cleaning the lens:
Use a DVD lens cleaning disk.
Use a few shots of compressed air in the slot.
Wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth?) around a business card and gently insert it in the slot.
If no success, a trip to the genius bar at an Apple store is the best option.
Ciao.

My external hard drive will not open and only shows up in Disk Utilities. When I try yo repair it, it give me and error of invalid sibling link. How do I fix my external hard drive?

My external hard drive will not open and only shows up in Disk Utilities. When I try yo repair it, it give me and error of invalid sibling link. How do I fix my external hard drive?

Invalid sibling link may not be fixable by Disk Utility. (Disk Utility is very conservative, and will not attempt repairs that might cause you to lose data.)
It is an indication of serious Directory damage.
that leaves
a) third-party Utilities that will take those risks, or
b) re-initializing the drive (which deletes all your data) and restoring from another backup source.
c) "Copying off whatever files you can salvage" has gone by, and you cannot copy anything off a drive that will not mount. You may be able to use "rescue" programs such as prosoft engineering Data Rescue to copy files to another drive, but that sounds a lot better than its reality. You may get many files, but not get ANY filenames.

Optical drive will not open disc

Optical drive will not open CD or DVD since upgrading to Lion.

My Macbook Pro has just developed the exact same problem within the last month. Mine has been working fine since upgrading to Lion (upgraded when it was launched), but it has suddenly stopped playing any DVDs or CDs.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I book a genius bar appointment?

Optical disc drive will not open

Hi there,
All of a sudden my disc drive will not open. Neither will it open when rebooting and ejecting it before windows has finished start-up. I've checked power cables etc. etc. I do see the drive in Windows Explorer, and there are no mentions of driver issues or whatsoever. Can anyone help?
product: hp pavilion p7 1040nl
operating system: windows 7
error message when trying to open drive in explorer (front button doesn't work): An error occurred while ejecting 'DVD/CD-RW drive'

Open Device manager, expand DVD/CD-rom drives
right click on your dvd drive and select "uninstall", then reboot your PC, windows will reinstall the device, see if it opens now.
If it still will not eject, take a small paper clip that has been straigtened out and slide it in the eject hole on the drawer front, see if it will open this way, doing this will check to see if it is jammed. If it opens with the paper clip and the drawer works smoothly then there is something wrong with the drive itself and will need replaced

CD/ Blu-ray Drive Will Not Open/ Function Correctly

My CD/ Blu-ray drive will not open. I can force it open with a paper clip and put in a disk that way but it does not activate and read the disk. The drive also does not appear as a file selection under my hard disk drives section of my computer.
With this I am assuming my optical drive is broken so I tried looking for a replacement. I searched for the name of the optical drive in the HP PartSurfer and it says it is called SPS-DRV DVD SATA BD Combo 12.7. Just to be sure, is that the correct part I am looking for? If so, and say I were to go ahead and order this part, how do I go about removing the optical drive in my labtop and replacing it with the new drive?

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
SO...
When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
Many Thanks!

Verity Credit Union site will not open with the new Firefox. How can I get the old Firefox back?

I want old Firefox back. My credit union, Verity, will not open with the new version of Firefox I have downloaded.

@glennhaste, the public pages I visited seem identical in IE8 and Fx10, but you may be referring to a part of the site that requires logging in (impossible for non-customers to view).
Since the problem is so recent, can you recall any changes you made in Firefox, or are you aware of any changes your CU made on its site?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, "right-click" and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" (''Sorry, I don't know how you right-click on a Mac'')
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

EXTERNAL USB Drive will not open with Snow Leopard

External USB drive will open with SL. The drive icon appears on the desktop. When I click on it, Error message, "The alias USB Drive can't be opened because the original item can't be found." When I click on "Fix Alias", a window pops up and shows the usb drive in a list but does not respond when I click on it. I then tried disk utility and tested the disk and it tested OK. The drive still will not open. This problem started after I installed Snow Leopard. Need Help.

The same error is produced when I try to mount a smb share.
I select the "connect to server" (cmd-K). Input the share info "smb://<user>@<server>/<share_path>
At the auth prompt, I input my credentials.
The error pops up, same as original poster.
