My home movie DVD folders all have red circle with white dash and won't allow the files to be read. Is there any way around this so I can back up the DVD's on a external HD?

Drag the folders to the external drive, and if prompted, click Authenticate. You'll probably be asked for an administrator password.

This may seem obvious, but presumably you have authorized the MacBook Air in iTunes?

Something conflicting with Adobe Flash that won't allow email attachments in gmail

Something conflicting with Adobe Flash that won't allow email attachments in gmail
I have been speaking with senior techs in the google forum, and they suggested I post here. There is something about my computer settings or security software is conflicting with Adobe Flash.
I did a clean install of both Flash 10 and Firefox 3.5.7 (I uninstalled the previous versions).
The problem is with gmail. I get the error message when attaching files:
"Attachment failed. This may be due to a proxy or firewall."
Any ideas???
Using Firefox 3.5.7
Using MAC OS 10.4.11
Using Flash 10
I do not have security software, proxy or firewall settings.
I started a question in these forums:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?fid=791ff1130e2fc23100047e95d237082a&hl =en
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/554629?

So if your not using a Flash app, not running a flash program, and you are using a browser on a remote mailserver, why would you think Flash is the issue?
Secondly if you are not using the Flash CS3/4 program somewhere in the loop, than you would be better served in the Flash Player forum, this is a Flash Developers forum. Sounds more like gmail may use some flash components to display something, but should not have an effect on file transfer unless your Flash settings deny it. You have to allow local content from being run with active x/flash.

Mac App Store won't allow re-downloading of deleted apps

I am experiencing very glitchy behaviour with the Mac App Store. The store can't tell when individual apps are deleted, and therefore won't allow re-download. This has been going on for a while - when I click on the Purchases tab all Apps are still listed as Installed and the button is greyed out - I can't click to re-download. At the same time, an app that I previously did download and later removed called Cobook won't delete from the computer - after a few minutes to an hour it will re-appear in my Applications folder.
I have done a clean re-install of Mountain Lion trying to fix this problem, however the same problem exists even after a re-install - Apps that had been deleted prior to the clean install are still greyed out in the Purchases tab, and can't be re-downloaded. The only way that Apps can be re-installed is to use Time Machine backup. I am concerned that this means that updates also aren't working, since the App Store doesn't seem to know what Apps are on my computer and which ones aren't.
Yes I am using the correct Apple ID assocaited with the purchases. My purchase history shows up just fine in the Purchases tab, its just that they are stuck showing that they are currently installed, even the ones that aren't.
Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 21.5" iMac (mid-2011).

The problem is possibly worse than I expected. Since the clean re-install, now any App purchased and downloaded via App Store won't appear in the Purchases tab. So in other words, although the download seems to work correctly, and the app works, the App Store seems to lose all track of it. Which is a problem for paid apps.

Screen is frozen, it won't allow any action such as "slide to unlock

My screen is frozen, it won't allow any action such as " slide to unlock. When double tapped, a screen with "enter passcode" appears but passcode cannot be entered.

That is very unfortunate. When you connect it to your computer, will it sync with iTunes?
If your iPad will sync with iTunes, I suggest that you backup your iPad with iTunes, then proceed to do a software restore. To do a software restore, plug your device into your computer, click on your device in iTunes, then under the general device information (a picture of the device with the name, etc) is a button that says 'restore'. This will wipe all of the software off of your device (as well as all your apps and files, which is why you backed them up), including, more than likely, the software issue with not accepting user input.
If that does not work, power the device down into DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. Here are the steps for putting your device into DFU mode:
1.) Plug your device into your computer
2.) Hold the power and home button down for 10 seconds
3.) After ten seconds, let go of the power button but continue holding the home button.
4.) Stop holding the home button once iTunes recognizes the device as being in 'recovery mode' (really DFU mode in this case).
If still that does not work, it is most likely not a software issue, but a hardware issue. The way the iPad 'touch screen' (truly a digitizer) works is that you are not really touching the screen (LCD) of your device, but instead a front plate (the digitizer) which detects touches, interprets them, and tells the CPU of the iPad where touches occured, so that the iPad can then calculate what was at that location, etc.
The way it transfers this information is that it has a small cable leading from one corner of the digitizer to a port on the inside of the iPad, the same way the iPhone, iPod Nano (multi-touch version) or iPod Touch works. Opening the iPad to check for this cable can cause damage to the digitizer, damage to the internal components to the iPad, and will certainly void your warranty. If none of the software restores do the job, I would suggest taking it to your nearest Apple Store (or sending it to Apple if you do not live near an Apple Store) to have the hardware digitizer component replaced.

Macbook Pro 10.5.8 won't allow upgrade of iTunes to sync with iOS 7

Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.5.8, won't allow upgrade of iTunes 11 to link in with iOS 7 iPhone update.
Do I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard operating system? Or Mountain Leopard operating system?
Help please!

You need to upgrade your version of OS X. Whether it is to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mt Lion (Not Mountain Snow Leopard) for the newest iTunes to work with iOS 7 I'm not sure. I don't own an iPhone and if I did I wouldn't be installing iOS 7 on it.
Oh and let me add you must first upgrade your Mac to Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade it to any of the newer version of OS X. Both Lion and Mt Lion are only availble from the Mac App Store which can only be accessed from Snow Leopard 10.6.7, or above 10.6.8, or from both Lion and Mt Lion.
So no matter which newer version of OS X you end up with you'll need to first upgrade to Snow Leopard.

Macbook with lion; external monitor won't wake

I have a 2008 unibody aluminum 2.0 ghz MacBook with an Acer s232HL 23" external monitor. Lately I've noticed that the external monitor won't come back to me after I put the computer to sleep. I'm using Lion and a Dynex MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter. I never used to have this problem with Snow Leopard, but I got Lion right after it came out, and I could swear this problem didn't really start until a week or two ago.
I'm able to get the monitor back, but only after unplugging and replugging it in about 15 times.
Here's what happens:
I wake the computer up from sleep. The laptop monitor comes on. The light on the monitor turns from amber to blue, and it cycles through its ports–DVI, HDMI, and VGA–looking for a signal, before saying "no signal", and going back to sleep.
I unplug the monitor from my laptop.
My laptop screen briefly turns blue as it is reinitializing.
The Acer light goes from amber to blue again, and cycles through its display. If I leave it unplugged, it says "no cable attatched," or something.
I plug it back in.
Laptop monitor briefly goes blue.
Acer light goes back to blue and it cycles through its ports again before saying "no signal."
I repeat this a multitude of times, until the computer and monitor seem to randomly agree to speak to eachother.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a more acceptable solution than mine?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sworden79, I'm having exactly the same problems with my Macbook Pro 2011...
I didn't notice the problem at the begining, I think it start to happend with one of the Lion updates...
Is really anoying... to make it worst, some times when I restart the computer if the monitor is plug in the computer freeze... I have to disconect the monitor from the computer, then force restart long pressing the power button, wait till Lion load and then connect the monitor back... (experiencing this issue that you are describing then...)
I notice that it reduce the amount of cicles it takes to recognize the monitor if you have display preferences open when you connect the monitor to the mac...
This is SO annoying!

Older MacBook Pro (10.7.5) won't update any software

Here's everything that's been stuck in Software Update for a while:
iPhoto Update - 9.4.3
Java for OS X 2013-004 - 1.0
iMovie Update - 9.0.9
Digital Camera RAW Compatability Update - 4.07
Security Update 2013-002 - 1.0
Airport Utility - 6.3
Safari - 6.0.5
iTunes - 11.0.4
If I try to update, all or individually, it'll proceed as normal, sometimes even ask for the restart, but even if it gets to the end of the cycle, a warning message pops up saying none of the items can be installed.
Now, when I say it won't update anything, I mean "anything." I'm running Lion (10.7.5), but Lion disappeared from my list of purchases in the Mac App Store, which I did purchase even though it says I didn't. I've tried rebooting to reinstall it that way because it still shows Lion there, and I even called Tech Support, but they couldn't figure out why it disappeared. I just recently came to the conclusion that nothing updating and Lion not being able to be reinstalled, are likely related.
Anyone have any idea why it won't do any software updates?
P.S. - My model (Titanium) cannot support Mountain Lion.

Ok then, we can rule out the "not enough space" scenario. Try repairing permissions and restarting your computer afterwards. If that does not work, set up a new account and try using Software Update. If that work, we can then rule out system wide problem.

HT201304 New iPad won't allow me download apps

New iPad won't allow me to download apps or go to iTunes store. How can I correct this?

usually when you get that message "you account have never been used in itunes store" you just need to review your information and update what they want to have on your file and once you do that you can use account.

Is the website myfitnesspal no longer compatible with you? It won't allow me to log in but works with ALL other browsers. I've done troubleshoot. Didn't work.

Yesterday I had problems with the website Myfitnesspal.com. I have a tab set to automatically open when I start the browser every day. I could not log any information into the site, so I tried a log off and log on. It won't let me log on to the site. I contacted, myfitnesspal and we worked through many trouble shooting steps. I also tried all the troubleshooting steps from your site. I even did a complete shutdown and start up of my computer. Nothing has fixed this problem. I had the same issue with a couple of store I like to browse. The store site are finally working after more than 6 months of frustration. Myfitnesspal works on ALL other browsers. So with everything that has been tried and done, the problem seems to be on your end somewhere. I am running Windows 7 Professional, 32 bit.
I really hope that this can be fixed because the website displays best on your browser. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.
Thank you for anything you can do to fix this and for your time.

Any difference?

New MacBook Pro 'sees' WLAN but won't allow to select

Hi
So I just arrived home with a new MacBook Pro and tried to set up my inbuilt airport to connect to my wireless router and no cigar. So frustrating. My old MacBook and iMac are able to connect to the wireless router via inbuilt airport but not my new MacBook Pro. I have tried using the assistant and diagnostics and have achieved no joy. The weird thing is that WLAN comes up as an option and I select it wherever possible but when it comes to the last screen in network preferences, where you select the Network Name, it allows me to select it and then in less than a second it reverts back to 'no network selected'. Go figure.
So it clearly can see my WLAN. I have tried to see what setting are different on this MacBook Pro (accessing internet via cable as no other choice at the moment) and my old MacBook and can't see anything obvious. But then again there's not a lot of settings.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I love Macs and have been a user/owner for eons but this new one is really frustrating me. Not the usual warm and fuzzy oh I have a new Apple experience. Disappointing.
Fingers crossed one of you out there can help me discover the joy again :-)
Thalia
P.S. I am using an older Belkin wireless router that my MacBook and iMac can recognise in a heart beat.

looks like I hit the nail on the head with that one. Fact is I'm back to 10.5.2 and NO more Airport connectivity issues.
I have 2 black macbooks, a 15 Pro and 2 macmini's. I've had to roll back 2 of them for the same reason, 10.5.3 clearly breaks Airport connectivity reliability, no ifs ans or butts about it.
I'd like to use automator, 10.5.3 fixes many of the problems with that I've experienced but I cannot go to it as wireless is the only way I have to connect.
Here is what my system.log looks like AFTER rolling it back with Archive & Install:
Jul 16 11:51:07 Macintosh kernel[0]: sleep
Jul 16 11:51:07 Macintosh kernel[0]: System Wake
Jul 16 11:51:07 Macintosh kernel[0]: Previous Sleep Cause: 5
Jul 16 11:51:07 Macintosh kernel[0]: EIR is not supported.
Jul 16 11:51:11 Macintosh kernel[0]: AirPort: Link Up on en1
Jul 16 11:51:11 Macintosh configd[34]: AppleTalk startup
there is NO Airport Beacon Lost as before, no connectivity problems. My daughter has a brand new white macbook she bought last week, she has a WRT54G Linksys and doesn't have any problems with connectivity, her boyfriend bought a 15" Pro at the same time, he upgraded to 10.5.3 he immediately started having problems (there IS a reason new ones come with 10.5.2), he rolled his back and it works again.
I've done this several times, apple may know about it but they haven't come out with any fix that I know about. I reported it to them the day 10.5.3 came out. I am not upgrading again until I see a patch that specifically says it addresses Airport reliability.
I don't run parallels, or any other virtual machine, hard enough keeping a vigrin OS up to date. The only 3rd party software I run is Firefox and Office 2004.

Firefox interfers with my bank and won't allow password or ID to be accepted .Why?

When I login to my account, it asks for my id and password. Firefox won't permit the id and password to be used. This happened before and I was lucky enough to talk to a real person, and he was able to fix it. However, Firefox has no business messing with ID's or passwords provided to banking organizations. For your information, I was able to go to Safari and complete my business.
