NEED HELP! loosing the will to live... MAC Lion OS
bought a brand new mac book pro this week, OS X LION 10.7.2
wanted a mac for using indesign as screen resolution and smooth operation.
PROBLEMS I AM HAVING
I wanted to download the free indesign trial (why not) and can't install the following...
1. Adobe download manager WONT install onto my system, it downloads and brings up a window with what I can only describe as a see through parcel
I double click it and it tries to unpack / install it, once the blue bar is complete I don't see anything relating to adobe again.
2. Adobe AIR will not install onto my system, however the download window does show a nice red adobe parcel, again a certain amount of installation occurs and then nothing...
the whole point of forking out on the pro was so i could do my companies flyers and graphic design and ive hit a brick wall with adobe!
is anyone facing a similar problem or is it a problem that is due to be resolved or is it my machine?
please if somebody could help me on this matter id be so grateful. I am a virgin to the mac os although everything else is very impressive so far.
if i buy the in design CD software would it install (not really ideal as i want the trial, but as a last resort)
Thanks in advance
Martin
You mentioned:
I can try a different browser i.e. chrome or something, but once the download is complete it will still save it to the same 'download folder' location? it seems to be the install process that can't complete itself
From Adobe knowledgebase:
If the installer doesn’t start automatically when your product download completes, you can start it manually.
Make sure that the download is complete.
If the downloader did not indicate that the download completed successfully, do the following:
Check to see if there is a Start Download or Resume Download shortcut on the Desktop. If so, double-click it. Akamai Download Manager removes the shortcut after the download is complete.
When you started the download, you were asked where to save the files. Navigate to that location. If you can't remember the location, search your computer for a folder called “Downloads.” Look for one or more files with the Adobe product name. On Mac OS, there should be one .dmg file. On Windows, there should be a .exe file and possibly a .7z file. If you see any temporary files ending in “.part,” it means that the download hasn’t completed. Go to your Desktop and double-click the Resume Download shortcut.
Important: Some Windows product downloads include two files: a .exe file and a .7z file. To install the software, make sure that both files fully downloaded and located in the same folder. Otherwise, an error may appear when you start the installer. Errors include "Windows cannot open this file" and "The file archive part of Adobe [product name] is missing."
When you are sure that the download is complete, double-click the .exe file (Windows) or the .dmg file (Mac OS) that was downloaded. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Try this and see what happens.

i have a samsung s4 and having trouble downloawding my photos to my macpro
If you're talking about an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, a good place to start would be in the Settings App. Open Settings, go to General, then Reset down at the very bottom. Choose Reset Home Screen Layout there. The apps are obviously installed, so they likely just have the icons hidden.
If that doesn't work, or you're using a Mac, please let us know your device and operating system version like Seventy One asked.
Good luck! -

You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools -

Need help finding the best Mac for gf
hi I need help finding the best desktop. I am looking to buy MAC for gf.
she uses final cut program question is does the GB/RAM/STORAGE matter on performance?
She has a 2009 Apple computer I want to upgrade her to a new one
I Dont know much when it comes to specs. She edits tons of videos and pictures.
what's recommended for a video/photo editor that's good in performance ?Pro consumer might go with iMac even.
Final Cut Pro latest benefits from dual AMD graphics.
Video is one animal, graphics a much different.
Great site full of performance, buying and configuration ideas:
MacPerformance Go to the main topics
I think you need to get clear on budgets. start with mid range and add all the options and can spend $4,000 or $7,000.
Go to the Mac Store and do some looking and Google for reviews of software, hardware of course.
Barefeats
Rumors Pro
Visit the forum for FCP-X would be a place to start.

I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???
If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac. -

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.
You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)? -
Need help accessing the router web page. I have been tol...
Need help accessing the router web page. I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range. I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins). Didn't work.
thanksWhat router are you using? Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS (not the WRT54GS).
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken. I recieved a photo via text on my iphone and then I synced my iphone to my macbook and now it is in iphoto. I already know that the date on the photo per the tag that shows up on it in iphoto is NOT the date the photo was actually taken. I need article or literature or something confirming the tag is from when it was sent to the iphone and/or when it was imported. I greatly appreciate some assistance!
All I am trying to do is find something on a forum board or article etc stating that the the date showing in iphoto could be the date it was imported or synced or sent to me and not the actual date taken.
The date on the photo could be anything because you can edit the date with iPhoto or any of 100 apps, free and paid for. So, the date on the photo will prove nothing, I'm afraid.
