My login password is now not being recognized on MacBook Pro which is running on Mac OSx version 10.6.8?

I Was able to log-in just fine a few days ago. It recognizes the password but just goes back to the login page.

Boot to the 10.6 Installer/Utilities DVD. Do not Install. Wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility off a Menu.
Since you are not booted from the Hard drive, you can do a Disk Utility ( Repair Disk).
Then try again.

Canon G9 not being recognized by MacBook Pro

I'm having some issues with a Canon G9 not being recognized by the particular MacBook i have to use. When i connect the G9 via USB (obviously with a good cable and camera switched on) neither Image Capture nor iPhoto recognize it. I have tried connecting the camera to a bunch of other macs (Powerbooks, latest MacBook, same model of Macbook and system as the one I'm using), they all didn't have any trouble recognizing the camera. My MaProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
ook can see any other camera I have tried without trouble... I'm using 10.5.6...
The System Profiler does actually see something being connected via USB, but it only shows up as "Composite-Device/0x04a9(Canon Inc.)".
Any ideas what might cause the issue?

Updated information ... these card do get read on an older iMac, circa 2010 or so, also running 10.8.4. For some reason, they're not being read by the internal SD reader on the macbook pro. Odd.

IPod Touch 3G (iOS 4.1) not being recognized in iTunes (10.5.2.11) on Mac OS 10.7 Lion

Prior to updating my Mac OS to OS (10.7.2) Lion, and thus while on Snow Leopard (10.6.8), I began experiencing problems with my iPod Touch 3G running iOS 4.1 which was not being detected by the latest version of iTunes (10.5.2.11). It was quite frustrating since i could access the iPod on other computers and with this same version of iTunes, with no problem and thus, it had to be a problem isolated to my computer. In addition, my iPod was working fine and therefore, didn't merit an OS restore and I was also reluctant to perform one. Lastly, it seemed like upon plugging my iPod into the USB ports, the mac would detect the device but would subsequently, partially eject eject so that the device would cease charging but would still be visible in System Profiler.
These were some of the solutions I sought, after not finding an answer specifically for Mac OS 10.7 Lion. I hope it helps, as this was a complicated fix.
I would recommend deleting the 'AppleMobileDevice' Service see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (This should allow the device to remain connected and charging on the mac)
Re-install iTunes (latest version)
Also, make sure you have the most up-to-date version of Xcode which incorporate iOS connectivity in the software.
Launch 'Image Capture' from Applications, and in devices you should see your iOS device (iPod Touch in my case) appear in the 'Devices' tab
Select 'iTunes' in the dialog area which allows you to choose which app should launch the device.
Here, I noticed that iTunes didn't immediately respond, but by specifying iPhoto and Aperture, the iPod began to Open in these applications
At this point, I quit and re-install iTunes from a download from Apple's website.
Prior to re-running the installer I re-selected iTunes in Image Capture, and after the installer completed most of the installation, iTunes began to launch.
At completion, iTunes began to launch again, and loaded the iPod Touch in the side bar again.
P.S. I perhaps should acknowledge that I had spent maybe an entire week, crushed and loosing productive time over this problem. I eventually began to pray and trust God (Jesus) that it would eventually work again.

I have the same problem, that when iTunes is open it does not recognize when a CD is inserted. I don't have an answer but I have a workaround that may be similar to yours.
The problem occurred the first time I tried to import a CD after having updated iTunes on October 12. I think this is the first version to support iCloud (which I don't use). That version did not have a Help Menu. I reinstalled iTunes and now have 10.5.0.142. I did get a Help Menu but still no recognition of CDs.
I can import CDs if I close iTunes and let AutoPlay take over. I have AutoPlay set to "Import songs using iTunes". "Show songs using iTunes" is closer to the setting you want. When the CD is inserted AutoPlay opens iTunes and iTunes sees the CD.

External Hard Drive Not Being Recognized By MacBook

My Toshiba external hard drive (1TB, brand new) does not show up anywhere on my MacBook Pro (Also brand new). The light on the external hard drive comes on so it's not a connection issue, like the cord being broken. But nothing happens when I plug it into my MacBook, aside from the light coming on. It doesn't pop up on the desktop or in disk utilities or finder. I don't have my old PC laptop any more, all my files from that computer are on this hard drive and all I want to do is transfer them to my MacBook. And even though I don't want to lose any of my files, I can't even erase anything on the external hard drive to reformat it because it's like...not talking to the MacBook...

Your Mac should be able to recognize many different types of drives (including Windows-formatted drives) immediately for Reading, provided they are in good working condition and not damaged. There should be no need to transfer to a different type of drive.
If there is no recognition of this drive, see if it can be seen in Disk Utility.
If your aim is to transfer the data on it DO NOT use ERASE or PARTITION as these will completely erase all the information on the Drive.
If the drive is present while the Mac sleeps, it is likely to drop out and not be seen any longer, especially if it is a USB-powered drive.

New Seagate 1TB external hard drive is not being selected by MacBook Pro

My new Seagate 1TB external HD is not being identified by the MacBook Pro (10.7.5 Mac OSX). Whereas the same being recognized by a WIN8 OS based PC. I need a format wherby the external HD should be recognised by both Mac OS and Win.
Kindly help.
Pls note my system is being run on safe mode, as there is a problem in the left shif key. Hence, while booting, it is automatically being shifted to the safe mode. I need to format the external HD, so that I can transfer to store my data.

If you want the drive to be able to both read and write on OS X and a Windows machine, you should format the drive as exFAT on the Windows machine. As to why the drive is not recognized when you boot into Safe Mode, that may be because the drive is formatted for another OS and it MAY BE that it's disabled when you run in Safe Mode (which disables a long list of things: see -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US).
If you format it as exFAT on the Windows machine, you MAY BE able to have it mount on your Mac. No guarantees, though.
Good luck,

Downloaded facetime and the app will not load on my macbook pro. Works on my Mac desktop and Ipad great.

I tried to install the facebook app on my daughter's Macbook pro and when we try and load the program, it errors out. Anyone seen this on their system?

Hi All,

HT201303 Why is the only computer I have used now not being recognized by the App Store

I recently downloaded an App from the App Store, and then received an email stating the computer used "had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.". This is the only computer associated with my apple ID what is going on?

Dear Correct name,
Your Apple ID, correct Apple ID, was just used to download Codecademy: Code Hour from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase.
If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Security and your Apple ID for further assistance.

CD not being recognized by MacBook

Hello!
I recently purchased the "Glee Christmas Album" (don't judge) from Target, and I was excited to get it home and put it onto iTunes. Anyways, I put it into my MacBook, the right way and everything, because I know how to import CD's since I have done it quite a few times on my MacBook before. However, for this CD, it'll make the sound it usually does when the disc drive is working, and then after about 15 seconds it will just spit the disc back out without even recognizing it on the computer! This is very confusing & frustrating, considering I had a few other recently-purchased CD's that worked just fine on here, and now this? Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the disc not to recognize and how to resolve the issue?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem with the same Glee CD (be proud to be a Gleek!)
I think it might have something to do with the disc being a short recording. If you look at the back, the disc seems to have two different finishes. I think because only a small part of it is "written" on, it is not reading the whole disc. Anyone have a solution?

Optical Drive not being recognized by Macbook

I tried inserting a dvd into my Macbook today and it makes a clicking noise (something it used to do when it still played dvd videos), then it spits the dvd or music cd out. For a time it was not recognized in my system profiler, but I just checked it again and it was there, however, it still spits out the cd/dvd I stick in.
Also, when I try to open DVD Player it says, "There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]"
Any ideas? I'm up-to-date on my OS and drivers, to my knowledge.

Icc profiles are not being recognized by epson printer from LR 5 in Mac OS 10.10 yosemite

After switching to Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) my epson 3880 is no longer recognizing the icc profiles. Is anyone else having this issue?
I've already reinstalled all epson drivers and printer options to no avail. I'm thinking that lightroom and the printer are not communicating the icc profile info?

That's not how it works. If LR does the color management, it converts the image from its working space (linear ProPhoto RGB) to the space defined by the ICC printer profile that you have designated in the Print module and sends to the printer that (converted) data. The printer driver should be set to "No Color Management" and therefore has no need to know the ICC profile. If you set LR to "Color Management: Managed by Printer", no profile is designated in LR, the data is sent unconverted, and you have to set the driver interface to the appropriate ICC profile - again no communication of the printer profile, although LR does send data that describes the working space so that the driver can make the conversion.

SD Card not being recognized by macbook air. what do i do?

I have a Nikon D5100 and i was taking some photos and videos outside. so like any other person, i put in the sd card into the slot, but it doesn't recongnize the sd card! this is really annoying me. also, the camera-to-computer usb isn't working either! it was just working last week so what's the problem?

Another thing that might help is to open the Image Capture app.
It is in your Applications folder. You might try opening the app yourself, then inserting the SD card.

IPhone 3GS not being recognised by MacBook Pro

hello.
just a few days ago i was able to sync my iPhone 3GS via iTunes to my laptop using the supplied USB cable. Today when I tried, nothing, the iPhone doesn't do anything and iTunes doesn't launch. The only update I have put on my machine is the recent 10.5.8 Security update yesterday - not sure it is related?
so in the process of elimination, I've tried the following.
1. connected my 5.5G iPod using the same usb cable - ipod mounts fine and iTunes launches.
2. connect my iPhone to the AC Adapter using the same usb cable - iPhone charges fine
3. tried iPhone on all USB ports using same usb cable - nothing happens.
so I'm happy the USB cable and ports are all functional and the iPhone connector is ok, as it does charge when connected to an AC power supply.
normally when i connect my iPhone to the laptop, the phone screen turns on, iTunes launched and then it starts a backup and then sync. But this time, nothing happens at all. the iPhone remains in standby. I checked the USB ports in the Apple System Profiler but none of the USB ports are displayed as iPhone.
I have power-cycled both the iphone and laptop but it makes no difference. Any other suggestions - do you think it is hardware or software related?
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
Try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Ical invites not being sent from MacBook Pro but are being sent from iphone

Hoping someone can please help me! I am suddenly unable to send iCal invites from my laptop. They look like they send, but nobody receives them and also the events don't show on my iPhone and iPad2. If I add the event on my iPhone, I do see it on my laptop. I recently did a system update and I wonder if that is the cause. Any help you can give me would be so appreciated. Thanks.

I am having this problem as well. Specifically, when I create a new calendar meeting I am able to add users to the invitation and when I save the invite it gets sent. I have also modified an existing calendar event that has other people invited, and when I exit editing the meeting a pop up window specifically asks if I want to save my changes "and send it to the other invited participants" or something like that.
I click yes.
In both cases (the original creation and invitation, and the modification and send update to attendees) nothing is received by the other recipients. Not a calendar event or invitation, not an email with a .ics attachment or similar, or not even an email notification.
Thus, I set up an event in my calendar, invite others, and no one is aware that the event was set up.
Is there any way around this? I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as the process of creating an event, inviting someone, and sending out the invitation seems pretty straight forward. It just isn't working.

Updated iBooks on my ipad1 now not able to open bulky PDF which was opening easily on older version. Can I revert to older version ?

Please help

unless you have an older version of iBooks backed up on your computer there is no way to downgrade to a previous version. check your Trash Can and see if an older version is in there.
also if your going to be doing a lot of work with PDFs I highly recommed GoodReader, it is much more robust when dealing with PDFs than iBooks.

I have a 2011 Macbook pro that I updated with Mac OSX lion and now my computer keeps freezing when I am on safari or Microsoft word. Can anyone help me please? I need this computer for school.

I wake the computer from sleep and then it freezes either within 5 minutes or it could take an hour.

Try to repair disc permissions. Also see if MSOffice is compatible with Lion.
