Opening HD on desktop...

I have 3 users on my ibook. My side works fine = no problems. The 2 other users have a problem with the desktop HD. whenever you click on it for it to open, all you end up with is a beachball that just keeps rolling... you can open up finder from the dock no problem but it's a pain that the HD won't open.

Ok thanks. As seen below the file shows unlocked but won't save because it says it's locked. Any ideas how to assure it is unlocked?

    We don't know what Apple plans on doing to change this (and it may not be just Apple but more likely the publishers, since Apple would, of course, do whatever it could to maximize sales/profits).  Right now you can only read Apple books on mobile devices. Sure, buy them from Amazon if you want to read them on the computer. We don't work for Apple so we're pretty impartial on this kind of advice.
    You might also see what your library can offer.  My wife can browse the county library from her iPhone, borrow e-versions, and read books on it too.  Free!

    I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

    It's almost certainly too late.
    The time to create a backup is before a catastrophe.  After a catastrophe, it's too late.

  • Todays update! After todays update I can no longer send Safari or Spotify to the task bar without it cutting out (dropping audio in and out). Streams normally if I keep the window open on my desktop. This needs to be fixed immediately.

  • Finder window won't open on the desktop when rebooting in Lion

    One problem that I have is: I always have a finder window open on my desktop. In Lion 10.7.1, when I shut down and restart my Macbook Pro (15 inch early 2008), the finder window will appear momentarily then close itself, leaving empty desktop and drive icons on it.
    I have to click Finder icon on the dock to open finder window, and it never remember it's last location on the desktop and settings I applied to it in Preference.
    This is annoying. I have tried and search many solutions but none of them are permanent. They are:
    1. Delete com.apple.finder.plist in user/library/preferences, then force restart finder, set it the way I want in Preference. Then restart the Mac. Finder windows will open at boot in some case, and not working in many cases. And if it work, the solution is not permanent. The probelm will come back again in 3-4 days time
    2. Right click on the finder in the dock then options assign to this window. This won't work for me
    3. go to: System Preferences>Mission Control> and UNcheck "Automatically rearrarange spaces based on most recent use".  This was the only change I made, did a reboot, and finder window is now visible and usable. This won't work for me either
    I think this is a bug in Lion, and would like experts here to advise a permanent solution for me Thank in advance

  • Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install

    I am running Win 7 Ultimate. Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install on my computer after I signed up for Adobe CC tonight. I am currently using the CS5 suite (perpetual license) and do not want to uninstall any of the programs until I am successfully running the Adobe CC versions. The AAM gives me an error message saying that it failed to open when I select it, and the creative cloud installer fails to install. I have tried restarting my computer. Help? This is very frustrating. I am a student and use this software on a daily basis, and can't afford to not have these programs available when I need them.

  • Why won't new version 4.0 open on my desktop while version3.6.17 works fine. When I check the processes running on the computer the firefox is running but it won't open on the desktop(monitor)

    When I updated firefox from version 3.6.16 to 4.0 the program would not open on the desktop after I double-clicked the short cut on the desk top. I checked the processes running on the computer and it showed firefox running. I followed the short cut to its file and clicked on the executable file with the same result(it won't open). I went back to the previous version and it works fine. What could be the problem?

    Hey djclark24,
    Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
    There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article.
    You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I there a way to see what apps open in which desktop?

    Since installing Lion, the loss of "Spaces" took a little while to get used to, but I'm over that now.
    It would be nice to see a list of desktops and what apps appear / open in those desktops.
    Is this possible to see in Lion?
    -TIA
    -jP

    Not like it was in the old Spaces preferences, no.  The best you can do is go through the apps in the Dock and check whether they are assigned to a specific Desktop in the Options menu.  The Menu Bar has no reminder of what Desktop you are in, either.

  • Using external editor (PSE12), sometimes photos open on wrong desktop

    Using external editor (PSE12), sometimes photos open on wrong desktop. This is annoying and only happens 10-20% of the time. I then have to drag the photos to the desktop PSE is running in. Unfortunately I cannot find any pattern s to when this will happen. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

    Workflow-
    iPhoto 9.5.1 open in desktop 1
    PSE 12 open in desktop 2
    In iPhoto I select 4 photos, rt click on one of the photos, select edit external editor
    Most of the time the photos open in desktop 2, but 10-20% of the time they will open in desktop 1. I then show all the desktops (F3) and drag the photos to desktop 2.
    I can see there is going to be a lot of finger pointing (iPhoto vs OSX vs PSE) as to which piece of the operation is dropping the ball. iPhoto finds the 4 photos, opens them in PSE, but someone lost the desktop information. With that said, I think the iPhoto programers need to talk to the OSX programers to determine if the desktop information is being correctly passed. (I would guess that PSE assumes all PSE windows will be on the same desktop)
    As an aside, I can perform most of my PSE operations in desktop 1 using keyboard shortcuts.
