New updates screwed up my mac
Just got new updates for Safari, security and iTunes. Now I cannot swipe between screens and my iTunes artwork screensaver doesn't work. Help!!!
Hello Karolina,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you did not repair permissions after you restarted your updated Mac, repair permissions now. Then check iChat again.
If permissions repair does not correct the problem, and if you have not tried shutting down everything, do so now. Restart your modem first. Wait until the modem finishes its self-test. Next, if you have a separate router, restart it. Allow the router to finish its self-test. Then, restart your Mac, and try iChat.
If neither of the above resolves your problem, you may have been victim of a bad download or faulty install. Download the appropriate versions of the new updates from Apple Downloads, and reinstall the updates again manually. If your updates require that you restart your Mac, do so. Next, repair permissions again and try iChat.
Please let us know how it goes.
Jim

Did the new update screw something up? My AME won't queue from Premiere
It was working fine last time I used it, but now when I go to File > Export > Media in Premiere, select my settings, and click Queue, it will open Media Encoder and then nothing will queue. The queue remains blank with the "Not currently encoding" dialogue. So I try again with Encoder already open. Encoder will flash for a second (move to the front of my screen in front of Premiere and then move behind it again), but still won't add anything to the queue.
So I restarted everything and tried again, no luck. So I uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere Pro CC altogether, no luck. Encoder will also not open a project or sequence to queue when I use encoder's internal File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence. I select Open, but the queue remains blank.
Could this be completely unrelated to the update? I installed the CS6 family recently so that I could use Encore, and I uninstalled everything but Encore shortly after. Could that have altered how Premiere Pro CC and AME CC communicate? Should I uninstall and reinstall my entire creative cloud? Thank you for your help!I think AME installation has gotten corrupted somehow.
Please try each of these steps and see if they help:
1. Hold the shift key while launching AME. it will reset AME's settings. Perhaps one of these settings got corrupted.
try your tests, see if that helps.
If that doesn't help...
2. Well, I don't have any other solution except to uninstall AME and re-install it.
unfortunately, AME doen't have it's own installer. In order to uninstall AME properly, you have to uninstall all the apps that install it. So please uninstall all these CC apps if you have them on your system. Flash pro, Premeire pro, AE, Indesign, Prelude. Now check to see if AME is still on your system or not. It should be gone. if you still have AME 7.1 on your system, uninstall the remaining CC products until AME is uninstalled along with it. Make sure AME application is not on your system any longer. If you still have AME on your system, well, that's not good. we have to run a cleaner tool to remove it. hopefully it won't get to that point. Now that AME is uninstalled, you can re-install just Premiere Pro CC. See if the issue is resolved. Hopefully this will solve the issue.
Let us know if you still have issues after following these steps. -
New update installed now mac wont start
I installed new update and when the mac restarted all I get is the gray screen with the progress ball.I cant start in safe mode and when I start in single user mode I cant type any commands. It says something about no keyboard kernel dependency and eventdriver has no kernel dependency. I am not all that computer savy and I cant find my boot discs. I think I am screwed and need to buy new os discs.Any help would be great.
If you are having problems at this early a stage in the boot, having this happen after an update is probably coincidental since the OS software hasn't even started loading. Kernel panics are often hardware related, and I would say something happening at this stage is probably indicative of that rather than a software issue.

I'd say you really, really need to find your original disc(s) that came with this computer. The disc contains tools that can help you with determining the problem and with your problem right now there is almost nothing you can do without them other than take it to a costly repair place. If you can't find your discs you can contact Apple Support and have them send you a new set at a nominal cost.
Of course, if this is under warranty I'd go to Apple first!
Incidentally, a lot of KPs at this stage may be related to bad RAM. Some people undertake the analysis and repairs themselves but that is up to you and requires you be able to run tests.
You should not use Leopard's tools to repair the drive on your other computer. Will the other computer even start up in Target Disk Mode to allow you to recover files?

Have iphoto 9.0 working on a mac osx 10.7.4 yesterday ilife with idvd was downloaded into my mac,i can't open my iPhoto now its telling me to update app, but when i do it says no new updates are available at this time,and iPhoto update mesg pops up again.
Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,

I downloaded the new update on my Iphone. When I plugged it into my computer it wouldn't let me sync because my computer didn't have an updated i-tunes version. When I tried to update Itunes, it said I needed Mac OS 10.6.6 or higher. Then when I tried to download that it said I needed 10.6 or higher to download that...so...what do I do...Is my computer too outdated?
10.6. is available for sale on DVD, ONLY through the online store and leftovers from other sellers (not local Apple stores).
But since the launch of 10.8 Mountain Lion, it has been "put away" and you must CALL the Apple Online Store support line and they can arrange to sell it to you.
When you get it updated to at least 10.6.6, the MacApp Store will appear. But 10.7 is also "put away" and you will need to call again to buy that, if you want it, probably by download using a special code they will sell you. -
My Mac OS 10.4.6 won't boot normally after new updates?
Pardon the fact that I'm a newbie...
It seems like a lot of people are posting about problems with the latest Mac OS updates. I installed some new updates Sunday night, and the system needed to be rebooted.
I was working, multitasking with Fire and Word, and in the process of printing a large Word document to my Acrobat printer, my system crashed. I could move the mouse, but there was no response from the keyboard or from my touch pad clicker. The only solution I found was to hard reboot.
Upon the reboot, there were no icons on my desktop, and neither my mouse button nor keyboard are functioning. However, I could move my mouse cursor.
I can boot in safe-mode, and all my files appear to be intact. I reboot from safe mode back to normal mode the problem in normal mode is the same. Clearly Mac OS isn't loading like it should.
I'm used to WindowsXP where multiple reboots usually solves the problem, but I gather thats not wise, and I really shouldn't be hard-rebooting.
Can anyone help me and give me some needed intuition with this? I'm a newbie with Mac, but pretty comfortable with Unix.
Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB DDR2 SDRAMJake, I didn't have any problems with the updates.
I always run Disk Utilities permissions repair and verify disk before and after an OS or Security update. If verify disk reports an error, run Disk Utilities from the Installation Disc 1, specifically Repair Disk. (Some think running permissions repair is useless. I don't agree and have seen this clear up problems.)
If that doesn't do it, go back to Safe boot and check the startup items. A third-party startup item may be the problem.
Good luck. Don't want to rub it in, but I've been running since the MBP arrived on March 30 without any problems. But I've had glitches in the past, and probably will again in the future. That's life. -
.Im trying to download the new itunes so i can use my iphone 5 , however , the new itunes requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later and i cant seem to install that onto my imac even after searching for the new update (my imac is currently on 10.5.8.
You have already seen that you cannot load the new iTunes into your 10.5.8, so as Neil says, you need Snow Leopard (current cost £14). And you'll probably need to update the disc you buy via the combo update, though that is free.
As far as the new iTunes is concerned, there's been a certain amount of grumbling so you may want to study the forums before you update. The main problem has been with album artwork which does not transfer easily. -
Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini
There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that eitherYou would make address lables with the Contacts app.
If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself. -
Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2?
Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2 ? My 2010 Macbook Air has crashed 15times since the 10.8.2 update. Have only once since owning it.
Turned out the hardware was bad. Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great. Thank goodness it was a defect. If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.
