OS X Mountain Lion does not allow me to change the disk contents
Hi everyone,
Last night, I noticed that I am not able to move files on my desktop to the Trash. Moving a file to the Trash, required me to enter my password. Even entering the correct password, did not remove the file. This just happened to files on the desktop.
I don't know why, but I have checked all the user and privacy settings in the system preferences. Nothing has changed since the last time the system worked as expected.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above. -
Safari 5.1.2 still does not allow me to view PDF documents in web pages. I am running OSX Lion 10.7.2. Any suggestions?
Read here > Known Issues | Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
And go to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the PDF Browser plugin to the Trash.
Quit Safari, empty the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. You should be able to view PDF files now.

Oh. Gosh. What's Windows got to do with anything? You're on Leopard, on a Mac.

Trouble connecting to Fios on my Macbook running Mountain Lion
I just got Fios installed in the hourse, and a PC and an Android phone have connected to it fine. But my Macbook (running Mountain Lion) won't work with it, either via Ethernet or via WiFI. When try to, the Mac's network "diagnostics" all light up. Sometimes I can get to a single website at that point, but after a few seconds the "internet" and "server" parts of the diagnostics turn to yellow or red, and I can't connect to any other websites. Wi-Fi and Ethernet behavior is the same -- the WiFi signal is strong.
I though this might be a DNS problem, so I changed the router's DNS servers to those of OpenDNS, and then also changed the DNS servers on my Macbook. I also "flushed the DNS," which didn't help. And I turned off the firewall on my Macbook -- still can't connect, except for a second at most. And I'm confused about what to try next.
The router is a MI424WR Actiontex, 3rd generation -- do you think getting a new model of router from Verizon might help? Is that the next thing I should try?Ha, so I guess I get 10 points. The problem turned out to be the DNSCrypt program (http://opendns.github.com/dnscrypt-osx-client)/, which had occasionally acted up before with public WiFi sites. It evidently doesn't play well with the FIOS's router either. So if anyone is having problems like this, remember to turn off this and similar programs first, before you look for anything more elaborate.

My pc does not meet the minimum operating system requirements for the 6th gen nano. Is there anything I can do to make it work on windows XP? This was sent to me from Apple after my previous Nano was recalled.
I think you've anwsered your own question. If it does'nt meet the minimum spec it won't work.

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2
Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
Then, follow the steps above.
Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up. -

I'm currently running Mountain Lion. Is it recommended to update to Mavericks first before I would update to the new Yosemite this coming Fall?

I would recommend that you do neither unless there's some feature in Yosemite that you absolutely must have. With broad adoption (i.e., after the OS is released to the public), all kinds of problems surface which get fixed in updates. You can take advantage of their discovery and resolution by giving the OS a chance to mature. Since you're asking about going to Mavericks, which has already been out for eight months, there was clearly not that much exciting (except, perhaps, the price) to encourage an upgrade, so staying put was prudent. Once Yosemite's wrinkles are ironed out, you'll be able to jump straight to it, after you make a bootable backup of your ML partition of course, so that you can always retreat if necessary. -
When I am typing in a browser window, my browser page shifts slightly, highlights in blue, and does not allow me to continue typing...i have to click in the browser to allow typing to continue...is there a function running that I don't know about?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
I have a desktop computer- MAC. When I am looking for information or pulling up games for my grandkids, it will say I need to download the latest version of dobe Flash Player to view. I have downloaded this numerous times yet it still does not allow me to view. What am I doing wrong?
Could be the OS X version is too old for the later recommended Flash player version.
So this is where knowing what your computer really is, and the exact OS X version running in it. There is a hardware limit to upgrading the OS X in a PowerPC Mac with a ceiling of OS X 10.5.8 at the latest. This also limits the upgrade to a later version Adobe Flash player.
If the computer is not an older PPC-based Mac, and instead has an Intel core-duo or core2duo, an upgrade to OS X 10.6.8 is possible through purchase of the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD and after installation, run Software Update to get the 10.6.8 Combo update v1.1 for Snow Leopard. This will not work on a PowerPC based Mac.
Should the computer be able to run a later OS X, a newer Player could be installed.
If the ceiling as suggested above be the case, and the workaround possible.
The question posed by Klaus is a minimal request for basic info.
Good luck

No.
You cannot add 3G to the device itself.
You have a 14(?) day return period to swap it out.
You can get a device called a mifi, it's available on several carriers.
