My Mac Installer is acting weird

I'm installing Pod Farm, but the installer says that it can't install because it requires OSX 10.5 even though i have the latest update. I don't Understand whats going on, please help

The installer appears to be outdated. Contact the application's developer, or use Pacifist to extract the software manually.

Hi,
I work for Dr Pod, an iPod repair company. This sounds to be that the hard drive is dying in the iPod. As it is an older iPod it is out of its one year warranty, the iPod won't be repaired for free by Apple, and you'd need to consider wether it'd be better to have the iPod repaired by an iPod repair company such as my own, or to purchase a new one from Apple.
If you did choose to purchase a new iPod from Apple, then they do provide 10% off the cost of a new iPod if you exchange in your old one. I'm not sure if this applies to faulty ones though (I have heard of some people being turned away for having a faulty device).
Hope this helps,

Help with Spry, acting weird in Mac Os 10.5 10.6, 10.7 and Ios Devices

I use Dreamweaver CS4 for designing our school website. The url is http://www.stpiusxschool.org
The menu bar on the left is built with a Spry Asset, it is to expand to different choices on some of the lines. The issue started about a month ago, if I click on the first item that should expand out (Parent Resources) it will not expand out, then I choose the second one (Student Resources) it expands out, I go back to Parent Resources and it will expand....this happen on Mac 10.5 and Ios Devices (Ipad, and Iphone)
On Mac 10.6 menu bars will never expand out.
I have tried many things, I have ran the Spry Updater and uploaded those files. I have built a page outside of my site, it appears to work ok, then copied that Spry Asset folder into the site, no luck.
I have built a second spry on a test page within the site, and tried it out, it doesn't seem to work correct either. It can be accessed off the main page mentioned above, scroll to the bottom and click on test, that is just what it is a test page.
School is starting soon and this site is used a lot for resources during the day.
I have called Adobe and got no where with them but that even took hours.
If someone could help me out that would be awesome.
By the way, I know nothing about coding itself.
Thanks

You have got two problems
The menu is acting weird in Mac as well as on PC
The menu does not behave in IOS devices
The solutions
Add the DOCTYPE Declaration to your document(s)
Replace the current SpryMenuBar for an IOS friendly MenuBar
1. You can add the HTML5 document type as follows, making sure that there are no blank lines before <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>St Pius X School des moines iowa</title>
The title already existsin your document. I put it there so that it is easier to see where the rest goes.
2. There is a Spry Menu Bar 2.0 available here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2141544

MacBook Pro acting weird at startup

Hi,
First of all thank you for reading this, it's quite a long story. And sorry for any grammatical mistakes, I'm Dutch.
Summary
My MBP suddenly has been acting really weird: kernel_task eating 150-200% of the CPU which caused a super slow MBP, power button not working well, and MBP shutdown after ten minutes without touching it and with the battery on 90%. I did a clean install of OS X Lion, some PRAM and SMC resets and removed the MacBookPro7_1.plist file from the system library. The kernel_task high CPU problem is now fixed. But the power button is still not working: most of the time my MBP shuts down three seconds after I push the power button in a first attempt. In the second attempt I hold it for like five seconds and this works. Sometimes it works fine on the first attempt. Restarting the MBP from the desktop works fine. I'm also worried about the random shutdown. What could probably cause the problem with the power button and the MBP shutting down when I don't touch it, and is there a way to fix this myself? I'm not really into tech, so please keep your answer simple.
My MacBook Pro "13 (mid 2010) with OS X Lion has always been a charm since I bought it. I've never had any problems with my MBP until now. Two weeks ago I was going on a holiday and had to check a few things on my MBP in a hurry right before I was leaving. I'm afraid I forgot to turn off my MBP before I went on my holiday, but I can't remember this exactly. When I came back after a week, my MBP started acting weird at startup and then became really slow. The kernel_task was eating my CPU with 200% and I've tried many things to fix the MBP myself but it still isn't working well. I hope you can help me with this.
This is what happened:
1. When I push the power button to start my MBP, the first time it shuts down three seconds after I push the button. After the first attempt I hold the power button for five seconds, and my MBP turns on the right way. After all the fixes I've done this is still an issue.
2. When I finally got my MBP started the first time after my holiday, it was really really really slow. I later found out that the cause was the kernel_task eating my CPU. It was using 150-200% with no applications running.
3. The MBP was acting normally (not slow) in safe mode, but in safe mode I couldn't open some sites in Google Chrome, like Facebook and Google Maps. So this didn't work either (and was not the solution to my problem).
4. I did some things with PRAM and SMC reset but this didn't work.
5. A clean install was already on my mind for weeks, so I decided that this was the right moment. After I did a manual backup (not with Time Machine) I restarted my MBP holding some buttons to startup the OS X Utilities screen. I first erased my Macintosh HD and then I wanted to install Mavericks because that was the only option from the menu. It took me five hours and at the end it came up with a 'can't download Mavericks, try again' screen. The MBP wasn't starting up anymore because OS X Lion was already erased.
6. So I became annoyed and decided to use my original Snow Leopard dvd which came with my MBP. Installing Snow Leopard took me two days!!!!!!!
7. When I finally got Snow Leopard installed, it still was really really slow and the kernel_task was messing up my CPU again.
8. After some hours of searching on the internet, I read the following thing: fixing the kernel_task problem was easy by removing a file from the system library (http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259). Of course I've researched this solution because I'm not a fan of changing things in the system. But I decided to give this a try and it worked! Like a charm!
9. I still was on Snow Leopard and decided to upgrade to Lion again, because I did know for sure that my MBP could handle Lion and I wasn't sure with Mavericks. So I first downloaded Lion from the App Store and then opened the installation program. This took me one day again, probably because the file from the system library was put back with the installation of Lion...
10. When I finally got Lion running, the kernel_task was using a high CPU% again so I removed the file from the system library again and restarted my MBP. This worked.
11. I'm working on Lion for a day now and I've installed some applications (Adobe CS5 Master Collection, Office for Mac, updated my 17.000 mails in Mac Mail, and installed some browsers). It's working fine and the kernel_task is at 1-10%. The issue with the power button is still there but sometimes it works fine at the first attempt. Yesterday my MBP suddenly shut down when I didn't touch it for like ten minutes. The battery was still on 90%. Maybe this was caused by the fact that my MBP was running for four days non stop because of the OS X installations, and it was a hot day yesterday.
So this is what I've done so far in this order:
1. First of all I did a manual backup on my external HDD. Not with Time Machine.
2. I tried to restart my MBP multiple times. Restarting from the desktop worked well, but shutting it down and than turning it on with the power button didn't work well.
3. I did PRAM and SMC resets multiple times.
4. I decided to do a clean install and erased my Macintosh HD from the OS X Utilities screen at startup.
5. Then I wanted to upgrade from Lion to Mavericks but Mavericks couldn't be downloaded.
6. I've installed Snow Leopard from the original dvd, this took me two days.
7. I've followed the instructions from http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259 (remove the file MacBookPro7_1.plist from the system library) and this worked for my MBP.
8. Because my MBP was working fine again, I decided to upgrade to Lion. This took me one day.
9. My MBP was really slow again: Lion put the MacBookPro7_1.plist back in the system library so I removed it again. This worked.
10. The problem with the power button still holds so I did a SMC reset again. Didn't work. My MBP also shut down yesterday when I didn't touch it for like ten minutes. I hope this was caused by the fact that the MBP was running for four days non stop, and it was a hot day so maybe it was overheated.
So everything is working fine again, but the power button still isn't. Most of the time my MBP shuts down three seconds after I push the power button. In the second attempt I hold it for like five seconds and this works. Restarting the MBP from the desktop works fine, and the kernel_task is now using 1-10%. I'm also worried about my MBP suddenly shutting down. Is there a way to fix this myself?
Thank you!

TokkieTor,
This is the full error message I got from the test:
4SNS/1/40000000: IP0R-9:166
I read that those letters (IP0R) stand for different errors in the hardware, in my case it's something with the Power Bus according to this website: http://www.cnet.com/news/how-to-invoke-and-interpret-the-apple-hardware-tests/.
Again, I'm really not into tech so what is a Power Bus and should I be worried?
what you have is a problem with a sensor which monitors power bus current. The power bus is the main pathway along which electricity travels in your MacBook Pro. If the sensor isn’t individually repairable, then you could have reason to worry — if they tell you that a logic board replacement would be needed, then that could cost hundreds of euros. (One would hope that replacing a sensor would not require a logic board replacement, but only hardware experts can say for sure.)
I think that posts here are only editable for ten or fifteen minutes after replying.

IBook G3 acts weird

Hello, I'm new around here and I would like to ask some questions.
I don't know why, but my iBook starts to act weird lately. When I put it in sleep mode and then reopen it later, it froze. It has been like this for a few days. Then yesterday, when I was doing surfing on the internet, everythign was lagging and then my laptop froze. So I shut it down but when I start it up, it takes a long time before it gets to the desktop and there's some piercing noise all the long.
Can someone tells me what happens to my iBook and how to fix this?
ibook G3 14 inch Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Pendragon:
Welcome to Apple Discussions. Hope you won't be new for long. It is a good place for Mac users to visit.
Your computer probably needs a spot of maintenance. I would begin by booting from the install disk holding down the "C" key. Go to the installer menu and open Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the let panel and First Aid in the main panel. click on Repair Disk. If DU reports errors, Repair again and again until DU reports no errors. If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
The next thing I would do is to run Unix Maintenance (CRON cleaning) using a utility like MacJanitor or Onyx.
Here is a link to Gulliver's article on OS X Maintenance which I have found very helpful: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
Good luck.

Trackpad acting weird after spill

Hi,
I am in kind of a problem right now. My trackpad is acting weird after some juice spilled over it from a drinking straw. Everything else works fine. I have turned the power off just to be safe. I need advice as to what to do. I bought my mac (late 2013 15" retina display) in USA. I live in Ghana and there are no Apple stores here. What is my safest option?

Finder acting weird on AFP shares

Hi everyone,
I am using an OS X 10.8.5 Server with mostly 10.6.8 Clients. The clients usually open, save, copy to and from AFP shares provided by the server. Sometimes it happens that a client gets thrown out of a folder it is currently viewing on the AFP share. Once this behaviour starts it is near impossible to navigate down on the folder hierarchy since you get teleported back 1 to 3 levels. The number of levels depends on how fast you managed to drill down before you get thrown back. So an example would be:
The client views folder A on /Volumes/AFPShare/Stuff/Folder1
You start to navigate to a folder residing inside Folder1. If you now wait for a few seconds Finder will throw you out and back to Folder1. If you mangage to drill a few levels down really fast you might make it to /Volumes/AFPShare/Stuff/Folder1/data/more/here. But then you immediately are teleported back to /Volumes/AFPShare/Stuff/Folder1.
From this point it won’t ever work again until you unmount and remount the share. Sometimes even a reboot of the client is neccessary. It happens with ~10 clients so it is not just one isolated client acting weird. On the Server side I did not notice anything wrong or weird happening. There are no backups, syncs or other tasks running on the server while this occurs. It seems to happen more often when you are using list view (cmd+2), but I have already seen it with column view, too.
I’ve read about similar problems with SMB, but I am really stumped at where to look next. I already ruled out that it’s just with 1 client Mac. Deleting .DS_Store files did not help (not that I counted on that one).
Another weird thing in addition to that is that sometimes the Finder shows folders twice or even more often. These are exactly named the same. Sometimes they disappear when you want to click on one of them.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Björn

Oh great! I had hoped it would go away. I suspect AFP to be the culprit. Since 10.9 defaults to the new SMB2 it might help to explicitly connect via SMB instead.
I am not sure since it’s been a while, but I believe the problem was happening less often if you disable both preview options using cmd+j in the Finder. Might be worth a try…

Pop Art function is acting weird (not really acting normal)

On my isight camera (it is built in) pop art is acting weird! You know how there are 4 different coloured sections. Not all 4 are appearing. Only the upper left one is.... Why is that? Please help!
- mariah

Hello again, mariah
Unless you erase your hard disk as part of your reinstallation, your data files should be safe on your iMac's startup disk. Whether you erase or not, your data files will be safe on your backup copy, so be sure you have a good backup! If you do not have a current backup, NOW is the time to backup your important files. Having at least one good backup copy of expensive or irreplaceable information is good insurance regardless of whether you decide to reinstall OS X.
Sorry about the Leopard reference. You can reinstall the Photo Booth that came with your Tiger version of OS X using the same methods I mention above except that they will be in your Tiger disk.
Although you may decide that you want to reinstall your Mac OS, you do NOT need to do so to reinstall Photo Booth and your OS X bundled applications. If you have decided to Reinstall your Mac OS, carefully consider which method you want to use to reinstall.
If you use the "Archive and Install" (A&I) method and choose A&I's "Preserve user and network settings" option, your data will be preserved and you will save significant time versus other reinstall methods.
Unless you have already tried reinstalling only the Photo Booth application or are having problems with more than one of your iMac's functions, you should consider reinstalling only the Photo Booth app first. Reinstalling only the Photo Booth app may resolve your problem without the time and effort required for reinstalling your Mac OS. See the "Reinstalling the Software That Came With Your iMac G5" chapter of the Users Guide manual that came with your iMac if you need help on how to reinstall the apps only. Alternatively, you could use the Pacifist method I mentioned earlier with the Tiger disk that came with your iMac.
If all this is more than you want to contemplate merely so you can use Photo Booth, you might rather consider installing and using one of these Photo Booth alternatives: Funny Photographer or Freak Show.

HT1338 The G note is acting weird

I'm using a controller with Logic Pro and one of the G notes (I think it's the one above middle C) is acting weird. The first couple times I press it, I get nothing and then if I keep pressing it, eventually the note will play but it will be sustained. The problem isn't the the controller because when I change octaves with the button on the controller, that same key will work but that G still won't work. I tried playing that note with the controller in garageband and it works fine. This just started happening a few weeks ago. Any suggestions?

HI,
Instead of using the "Show the Previous Page" button (not a Return button) on your Safari browser, just click where you see Inbox Incoming mail.
You are using the *Safari browser tools instead of the Mail tools.*
Before you delete mail you have read this button is available to return to your Inbox also.
Are you really running 10.3 on a G5? If not, please click My Settings on the right side of this page and tell us which Mac OS X you are running. It will help in the future and... thanks!

My MBP CD Rom is acting weird

hello,
I have an early 2011 MBP 13" with OS X 10.8.4, my cd rom is acting weird it always rejecting any dvd that i insert in it and read normal cd as black even though they already contain stuff and the weirdest thing that it reads cds that contain drivers that come with printers and modems basically any thing like that no matter how old it is or its condition is and that is driving me crazy i don't think that it is broken because it can read some cds perfectly, so if anyone has had any thing like that before and was able to fix it or any help would be great cause i need my cd rom for my work.
Thanks

rejects ANY DVD, but can read some CD, = dirty LED laser lens on superdrive.
The superdrive in your Mac doesnt differentiate information (drivers VS movies VS music etc.)...It either sees the data or doesnt
Errors can occur when:
1. on the nature of the tracks (huge on CD or small on DVD) the LED laser has to read from
2. OR the nature of the reflective media in the write layer and the reflective backing (many many brands of cyano-layered DVD and CDs).
There is NO DVD/CD player/burner than can read from the plethora of oddball blank media that has been writen to.
IF:
A: it can read any commercial CD ok.....but no commercial factory DVD (movie) = dirty lens
B: its rejecting certain home-writen CDs/DVDs but not others = unrecognized Cyano-track and reflective layer (also indicates dirty lens and/or media read problem)
C: if its ejecting CD or DVD randomly AFTER insertion, ....then the loader is likely going bad inside the superdrive,..... a somewhat complex mechanism in fact.

Finder acting weird lately for certain features (Bluetooth, Adobe illustrator etc.)

Hi Everyone,
I have recently come across a new problem with my macbook pro.
While working with certain applications the finder is acting weird.
Adobe Illustrator - On trying to place a certain document from the desktop onto the art board on my AI file I tried to go the traditional way of placinf it by opening file > clicking on place > (finder pops open). Now, as soon as it came up it took just about 2 seconds for it to disappear. And it has been happening continuosly since then.
Bluetooh - to transfer some files from bluetooth on mac to my cellphone I chose the option: Send files to device...
Same thing happened again. Finder popped open and vanished in no time. Only this time I was completely unable to open it again at all.
The finder works perfectly everywhere else till now (atleast nothing wrong yet) but this is worrying me a bit as I have been reading about certain news of OS Mavericks being attacked by some flashback virus.
I would be grateful If anyone could help me with this.
Thankyou,
John Tushar

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.BluetoothFileExchange.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
Since I don't use Adobe Illustrator, I don't know which .plist might be causing the problem. You could try doing the above with all Adobe Illustrator .plists.

My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?

Reinstall OS X;
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
