New Mac PPC Version Works After Self-Editing

My system: Old Emac, PPC, 10.4.8 and use primarily Safari as
a web browser. I had a tough time to get Flash Player, version
9.0.28.0 to work. I finally got it to work by using TextEdit to
modify the User/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash
Player/version.txt file. I noticed that the file provided by the
installed said,"9.0.27.0", and not 9.0.28.0". After changing the 27
to 28 and saving the text file, the new plug-in seems to
work.

Sorry, after further investigation, this is not a fix. This
new version 9.0.28.0 does not work for me. I had to revert back to
0.0.16.0 which does work. Sorry again.

Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.

Back to my mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion

Back to my Mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion
After I upgraded my home machines to Lion, I can no longer access them from my work computer, which is running Snow Leopard. When they were both Snow leopard, it worked fine. How can I get them working again? I don't have control over the OS on my work computer. Is it necessary for me to downgrade all of my home computers to Snow leopard in order to get them talking again?
Additionally the binoculars icon appears in the menu bar all of the time. In previous versions, this would only happen when somebody connected to my machine. Could these problems be related?

OK, so further investigation has addressed the BTMM issue on a remote machine.
With all machines running lion, I was having issues trying to log in to a standard user headless machine already running. In Snow Leopard, I had no issues with this since you can log in via screen sharing using an admin login that's running a standard login. Lion allows multiple accounts to be signed in which is handy since you can now run virtual sessions. This means you can admin the remote computer without bothering the remote user.
The problem was that now logging in using admin login brings up the admin account (which makes sense) instead of the desktop to the standard login. I applied a similar solution to a problem that was related to screen sharing I found on this board. What I believe to be the fix is to add the standard user to the screen sharing user list. Then screen share to the remote account using the standard user credentials.
So on the remote computer, in System Settings->Sharing->Screen Sharing, add the standard user to be allowed access. Previously I only had admins. This may not be an ideal solution for what I'm trying to do since the remote computers primary login is the standard user to be used as a common computer, but it now works so I am happy with it.
Now my only "problem" is my AEBS complaining about my MobileMe credentials, but it doesn't appear to have an impact on BTMM performance so I'll quietly wait for a fix down the road.

A few times when i try to quit out of firefox, it causes my new mac osx (version 10.6.8) to freeze--turning the whole screen whitish blue, which is the same color before the mac is to shut down. Why??

I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5). It says it "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Is there any way to install?

Any suggestions?
The message says "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
Thanks!

Thank you... spoke to Rosetta Stone and they said the same thing, and the give a nice discount when upgrading.
Normally 5 levels of a language run about $479. When upgrading, you can get the same 5 levels for $199.
Fewer levels costs even less.

There's a system component that 's missing that Photos is trying to use. You'll need to boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.

Select your My Book Studio for Mac icon on your Desktop and type Command + i to bring up its Info pane. Check the formatting. It should look like this:
If it's not formatted as such you'll need to reformat it after backing up what's on there now.

Brand New Mac Mini drops network after a few minutes

My new Mac Mini (Core Duo) arrived a couple of days back and I couldn't wait to set it up. The next thing I did was to download all the latest updates but the network connection kept dropping after a few minutes (seemingly randomly). This is the wired connection (not airport) and all other computers on the network are working fine.
I thought it might have been a problem with the updates site but now I'm trying to copy my data across the network from my old Windows XP PC (I want to switch) and the connection hangs again after a few minutes.
The only way to get the network back up is to reboot the system, then it works okay for a few more minutes. I've changed the Ethernet cable and the other PCs are working fine - it's just the Mac that has issues.
I wondered if the network card is faulty but does anyone have any other ideas?
I guess as this is only a few days old Apple might exchange it?

Hi John,
My ISP is PlusNet and there are 2 Windows XP PCs, a Windows 2003 Server, 2 Windows 2003 virtual servers, an HP printer, a DLink Wireless Access Point and a Linksys NSLU2 NAS box all working perfectly happily here - the Mac is the only machine that doesn't want to play.
The router only has a single Ethernet port so that's connected to a Netgear 10/100Mbps hub which the other devices use.
In addition it's all NATted so the ISP could only block my external IP address - they don't have access to the router config and in any case all the other devices are communicating with the Internet over the ADSL link with no problems so I think I can rule out the ISP doing anything nasty.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
So... here's the progress to date:
I spent two hours on the phone to Apple Support at national rate phone charges. I finally snapped when they asked me to check the firewall settings on my Windows PC (I pointed out that if there was a firewall issue then no data would copy - not several hundred megabytes before timing out). They suggested I took the Mac to an AppleCare centre for diagnosis to see if it could copy files from another Mac (so much for interoperability - they only care that it works with Macs).
I have confirmed that the problem exists on both static IP and DHCP configurations, and whether or not I set the duplex manually or automatically on the network connection. Interestingly it only occurs connected to a 100Mbps/half duplex hub (not a 10/half hub or a 100/full switch or a 100/full crossover cable) but as all the other devices are working fine I can rule out issues withe the hub.
So, now I have the Mac connected to a 100Mbps/full duplex switch, with no other devices connected. That switch has a link to the hub with the other devices connected and on to my ADSL router.
Everything seems to be working but obviously it's not an ideal situation as the Mac should work on the same Ethernet hub as everything else.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. If anyone has any further ideas I'd love to hear from you.
Cheers, Mark

New mac, iPhoto stopped working halfway through import

I've just started up my brand new (never had one before) iMac, followed all instructions, everything works fine. Plugged Phone in & iPhoto started up automatically, I clicked import and off it started, 894 photos to import, it got to 310 left to import & has been stuck ever since. I can't do anything at all with my new mac. Help!!! iPhoto version 9.5.1

I managed to sort it out all by myself by using the 'force quit' option that I found. Problem solved, iPhoto no longer frozen & I uploaded all my photos successfully. Just incase anyone was interested in how to sort out that specific problem.

Authorisation of an old account on a new mac, Password not working, no longer have access to that email address, and security question not working. But I do have my mac authorised! ...is there anyway to copy or get authorisation info off it???

Please help me!!!!
I have got a new Mac, I am trying to share my itues on it as well as my old mac, I have had two itunes accounts in my life, one is current now (this account) one I have not had access to the email for years. Since I have bought music off both accounts, I wish to play it all on both my macs. My Old mac has both accounts Authorised fine and all is good.
My new Mac, I have thios account running fine, but keep getting prompted for the password for my old account, I have no idea what my old password is, I have not had access to that email address for 5 years, and for some strange reason the security question isn't working eaither.
Since I do still have one Mac where it is Authorised, Is there any file I can copy accross or anyway to get the password out of the OSX 10.6.8 for my old account.
Secondly, is there anyway to roll both accounts into just my current one.
Many Thanks in advance for your help.
Steve

I too am having this same problem but I have not seen ANY solutions for it. Looks like Apple is ignoring it!!!!!!!!?

New tab (+) is not working after upgrading forefox to v 23.0.1

I had firfox version 22 i guess...Now today morning, I upgraded it to v 23. It displayed a message that one of the plug-in is not compatible with it and so wud be disabled. now later on I again downloaded the plug in to check whether its working or not but neither it worked (as I had already guessed) nor its showing in the add-ons or plug-ins.
Now I am not getting why the new tab is not working. Not at all. Its so very annoying. I have googled the question and tried resetting firefox and new tab setting in about:config. But nothing helped.
I think its because of that plug-in as I read somewhere that settings may be getting overridden by one of the faulty add-ons.
Please help.

Thanks
But the problem is still there when I run firefox in safe mode...

What exactly shows in System Profiler>Hardware>USB for those drives?
Boot from the Install Disc & see if they show up, not grayed out in Disk Utility.
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
We were thinking along the same lines. While at home I dug up a firewire enclosure and put a bootable GUID formatted drive in it (that I had in one of the usb enclosures) and started her computer holding down the option key and then chose to boot from the external firewire. All usb drives are now mounting upon connection. I asume that her drive has bad sectors on it (even though the SMART status says it's OK) and is not loading all the drivers properly for USB to mount. I was suspicious from the beginning that the OS was corrupt when she first had me look at it. It was at that point that I booted it in target mode, connected to my Macbook Pro, and then CCC'd to a usb drive that I had. I then had a couple of difficulties installing the new OS. Should have known......
I am now going to put a new drive in it for her and she'll be up and running.
Thanks so much for your help and thoughts that got me thinking as well.

Mac mail not working after Mavericks 10.9.4 update

Help! Mac Mail was working fine, on all 3 of my different email accounts, until I did the Mavericks 10.9.4 update yesterday. Now I cannot receive or send mail and it shows all accounts are offline. Connection doctor says it cannot connect to server. I am able to get online fine and I check with my provider Verizon and all is working perfectly with them......it must be something to do with the update that screwed something up. Any help or suggestions would be AWESOME!

Synced iPhone w/ new MAC and not working

I synced my iPhone with my new Mac about a week ago when I first bought the MacBook, I'm a first time Mac user. I bought a song on iTunes today and wanted to transfer it onto my iPhone, but it's not letting me transfer, am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great, thanks!

What do you mean "not letting me"
What did you try?
What happened?
Error message?
What did it say?

Daughter's new Mac laptop loses connection after about 15minutes on her apartment cable provider network. Her roommates older Mac works ok as did my daughters olde MacBook what could Be causing the shutoff?

Daughters new macBook loses connectivity on wifi at her apartment after about 15 minutes but works fine on other wifi networks. Her roommates older MacBook works fine on wifi as did my daughters older MacBook. what could Be the cause?---mmannaxx

Assuming this does not happen at a specific time of day but randomly when ever she connects, she may need to power cycle the modem/router, with the MBP off, after it reestablishes connection and IP addresses, then power up the MBP and reconnect.
