O.T. New Macs Won't Run Tiger
For information :
Over on another Adobe Forum I came across a thread which pointed out that the latest Mac incarnations will not boot up with the Tiger software. So, if you or your software don't like
Leopard,now installed as standard, you can't go back to 10.4xxxx
This is true of all macs, Malcolm. They can never successfully boot from any version of the OS earlier than the one they ship with. So if your mac came with 10.4.7, it is iffish whether you can boot from a retail disk even of Tiger (which would have 10.4.0, of course.)
That's always been the way. A mac that came with system 9 couldn't run system 7, either.

I want to upgrade my phone to the 4 or 4s. My macs are still running Tiger. If I bought an iPad 2, could I sync everything to it from the 4 without using a Mac at all, and then be able to iCloud my calendar and contacts, etc?

You don't need a computer to activate a new iOS device anymore. Anything with iOS 5 can be activated over a WiFi network (or cellular if that applies). -
I downloaded version 4 and replaced the old files. The new version won;t run because my Mac dose not have an Intell prossesor. I uninstalled the new version and I cant find the old version to download.
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Repost: brand new mac won't play/recognise/mount audio-cd's
No idea what's going on here. I posted a question which I will paste below. Someone posted some suggestions for me (Dave Sawyer if I remember the name correctly, thanks again!) which lead me to ask wheter I was or was not supposed to have a file named cd info.cidb in a certain folder.
Now all of a sudden my thread is gone and I find the following mail in my inbox:

You wouldn't have that file unless you used iTunes to get CD metadata from Gracenote. I hate Gracenote, therefore I have never had that file on my system

The origial question post was the following:
Hi all!
I am totally new to the macbussines (got one for a month now) and not using cd's much I never tried importing one untill today... and it simply won't. I think it's supposed to show the audio-cd on the desktop and give me an 'import cd' button in itunes whenever I insert an audioCD right?
It won't do... it'll take it in, turn it a few times and slide it right out again.
What I tried so far:
* toying with itunes settings for importing (import cd & eject, show CD, ask to import cd etc)
* toying with the cd&dvd preferences under system preferences
* click the mount 'button' in disk utility as was suggested in all those threads regarding cd's not mounting first time (my cd's won't mount the second or 30th time either)
* resetting the PRAM
Nothing so far.
It does recognise DVD's but no audio cd's whatsoever, originals, burned ones. You name it. As I don't use CD's a lot the newest CD dates from 2003, but that can't be it, can it?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated...
o/
Am I going para? Where did my post go? It's totally gone, not even under 'my posts' or anywhere...
Still no solution either... suggestions still welcome thereforMy guess is that someone didn't like that I said I didn't like Gracenote.
Anyway, I Googled for your thread and luckily found it intact in the iTunes for Windows forum and posted a condensed reply there for you. -
My older mac book pro and iMac are both running 10.6.8 and both have started running safari and email VERY slowly. My new mac book pro running 10.9 is having no issues. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
No noticeable speed differences running the four latest OSs on my machine.

Can anybody help?
I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money?
Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound?
Will I need adaptors and an interface?
Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.Can anybody help?

Brand new macbook won't run off battery, only when plugged in
I just go my new macbook last week and being new to mac computers, I didn't realize that it won't run from just the battery power until last night. The battery light shows it's fully charged. If i'm working with it plugged in and it becomes unplugged, it shuts down and when I reconnect the power cord, it resumes from the same webpage or whatever I was last working on. I opened up the battery compartment and removed the battery and then held the power button for 5 seconds, but that didn't fix the problem. Does anyone know what I might try or if something needs to be set up in order to run off the battery? Thanks! Leigh
Hello leighdk,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can by all means take some good advise from the people on this board in response to you problem.
But here is the best advise, especially since you're new to Mac.
Call Apple Care or take it back to the store and have them check it out. It is under warranty. You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return the Mac for a completely different or give it back because you do not like it. they may try to charge you a restocking fee but this should not be the case since there is an issue with you machine.
Call Apple, see what they say... Then if you can't get it resolved then post back and maybe we can give you some sound advise. -
Updated my 2008 MacBook pro to Mavericks.Lost some programs that won't run on Mavericks. One being Tuneup for Mac. Used for housekeeping and cleaning up the machine. Can't figure out how run maintenance on drive w/o this. Seached for scheduled maintenance in help, nothing.
"Scheduled" maintenance is all done by the OS - there's nothing you should run for "housekeeping". DO yourself a favor with the new OS and read...

Good luck,

My iBook seems to come up with some code and the this that tells you to shut down your computer in different languages thing, when starting up and holding "c" to install tiger. WHY WON'T IT LET ME INSTALL TIGER!!!!
Hi, Jef.
The 500 MHz iBook came with OS 9 as its default operating system, and that's where I keep mine.
Most of them came with a tiny 9.31 GB hard drive. This makes upgrading to OS X and running iTunes problematic, since it's generally recommended to leave 5 GB of free hard drive space in order for OS X to run smoothly.
She will be able to use iTunes and AirPort in OS 9, but if you are talking about using a newer iPod with it or buying music from the iTunes Music Store, that will be a problem.
How big is the hard drive? (Some were custom builds and may have a larger hard drive.) Were the original software CD's included in the purchase?
10.0.4 is as high as you can go without buying system software.
Some people are running Tiger on them (256 MB of RAM required for installation; I recommend upgrading with a 512 MB RAM module placed in the one user-accessible slot), but not with an eye towards using iTunes (at least in any major way) with that small hard drive. -
IPhoto missing from a brand new mac book pro running on Yosemite
I have a brand new mac book pro, and trying to open iPhoto I receive the message " in order to open iphoto, you need to update to the latest version." However, when I "Search App Store" I receive the message "Not Available, the item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store." Does this make any sense? How do I get iPhoto??

IPhoto on new Mac won't detect Faces
Have just got a new 27" iMac and assumed I was saving time just by copying the iPhoto library from my old iMac into my pictures folder and opening it. But I'm now having problems with recognising faces - iPhoto (on the new mac) is either not pulling up any new suggestions for faces already on my corkboard, or is just recognising one or two suggestions while I know there are . Other people already in my iPhoto library that I want to add to Faces are having to be added manually for every single photo. Is there someway of re-scanning my entire iPhoto library for general Faces recognition, or is there a preferences file or folder I should have transferred over from my old iMac to make sure that people already in the iPhoto library I've transferred onto my new iMac will be recognised and not be so time consuming trying to add them to the corkboard. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
I was saving time just by copying the iPhoto library from my old iMac into my pictures folder and opening it.
That wasn't "saving time". That's the only way to migrate a Library from one machine to another. Anything else means starting a new Library over from scratch.
To rescan your entire Library would require removing the Faces you have.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Old Flash in new Firefox won't run, no warnings.
Opened my laptop using a current version of FF but with Flash 11.9. Viewed one of my pages with Flash content and.... nothing, just an empty div. No warnings that Flash was out of date, etc. So if I have this right FF won't run out of date Flash for security reasons. Fine. I've always seen warnings in these cases. But apparently if Flash is old enough FF just doesn't bother. Visitors have no idea what is happening. It just looks bad.
Is this correct? What is the recommended way of dealing with this from a developer's viewpoint?We strongly recommend that users always run the latest version of Flash Player. Running an old version puts users at risk for malware infection. The vast majority of users are opted in to background update and are kept updated automatically, but there are users that for whatever reason have chosen to stick with an old, vulnerable version of Flash Player. While this is a bad idea, people are certainly free to do it. The upside is that the affected population that you're describing is pretty small.
The upgrade story will actually get better over time. The latest versions of both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer include Flash Player as a built-in component, distributed with the browser. Users are always updated with the latest version of Flash, and new updates are delivered inline via the Chrome updater or Windows Update respectively. Mozilla has spent a few years talking about how Flash needs to go away, while the other browser vendors have been investing in modernized plug-in interfaces and improvements in plug-in security, and unfortunately the prioritization is showing in the user experience. We're hopeful that Windows 10 will pick up the majority of the WinXP and Vista stragglers as well as many of the Win7 - Win8.1 users, which means that the whole Flash update problem for a very large population of people will be solved in IE once people upgrade.
It's hard to say what's at the root of the specific issue you're describing. With the major browsers on 4 or 6 week major update cycles (we publish monthly to ensure we can catch and address any new injections in the browsers that might come up in nightly/beta versions before they hit the general population, and to align with Microsoft patch tuesday), so you're talking something like 18 months worth of changes between the Firefox version you're running and the version of Flash that you're running. Everything at Mozilla gets done with bugs, and we'd definitely encourage you to file a bug on the user experience that you're seeing. They've been operating from a reactive place lately, and some of the changes that impact Flash definitely appear to be a little slapdash. It's ultimately good for them to hear from the developer community and not just me all the time, but feel free to add me to the CC: list in the bug.
We ultimately have no control over the longevity of a particular build of Flash -- there are way too many external variables -- and we're also investing a huge amount of effort in proactive security work (and it's been our top engineering priority for years). So each build usually includes large numbers of changes designed to either harden the player or address responsibly disclosed issues from researchers, the larger security and computer science communities and whatever the latest auditing and testing tools we can get our hands on are. The continuous stream of innovation and ingenuity in the offense space is impressive, but keeps us pretty busy. Browser-side changes can easily break older versions of the plug-in, and running an old version is just a bad idea.
So we've really streamlined the installation process to keep people on current versions, and Windows 10 will hopefully be a massive shift away from older, more vulnerable versions of Windows. The landscape is so different than it was even 4-5 years ago.. the days of running anything for years (or months) in your browser are long gone. The pace isn't going to slow down anytime soon, either. -
Pages 09 on new mac won't open documents correctly
I have recently got a new macbok and using time machine transferred the contents of my old macbook including Pages '09 (I haven't updated to the new version as it seems like it will not be good for me or the documents I have). My pages documents opne with all but the first page missing and the formatting all over the place. Opening a new document I find that even typing a text box is a mess and I can zoom in but not out on the document. Not sure why there are these problem when this is still the same version.
Would really appreciate any help as there is years of work that is now a mess.It sounds like you do in fact have Pages 5 on your new Mac and it is screwing up your documents.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder and
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.

New mac won't allow me to add files to my old external hard drives.
Hi there,
I've been trying my hardest to figure out how to do this without having to delete all of my files and reformatting my external HD, but I haven't been able to find a solution. Maybe I'm not using the right keywords when I search for solutions?
Anyway...
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro, and have since been unable to transfer any files (photos/video/documents) from this new Mac, to any external HD's (that worked fine on my previous Mac as well as other Macs).
However, I am able to drag files from the external HD to my mac, and transferring files to a small USB works without an issue.
How do I fix this, without deleting/wiping the external HD so I can transfer files onto it?
