OSX 10.4.6 to 10.4.8 crash and burn (Macbook)

Hi all,
I just tried updating my Macbook from 10.4.6 to 10.4.8 to solve this (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304308) problem.
At around 90% of the install/extract process my macbook turned off and when I tried powering it back, it gave me a grey screen with a "power" icon in the background, telling me to restart. In back of this it has a code with:
panic(cpu o caller 0x0039BDDF: Unable to find drive for this platform: "ACPI".
It goes on like that.
I'm not quite sure what to do next. Is there anyway around this or will I have to take my brand new computer into the shop?

You are getting a Kernel panic.
Try starting off the DVD install disk that came with the machine. At the window after you select the language, find the Utilities Menu, and launch Disk Utility. Repair the disk. Then, quit DU, and run the installer to perform an Archive and Install.
Make sure all devices are removed when you try the install.

Old Entourage is POP and new Mavericks MAIL is IMAP I believe. I don;t know how to export in the forms you mention. Frances

Why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx? I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

I went through updates on my three newest Macs this week. As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42). I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available. I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
15 minutes later:
I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out. I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed. I'm happy again.

Im using intel macbook pro 13" and since I'm using the new OSX Lion, the keyboard backlit won't turn off and it's eating up my precious battery. Im always mobile so this is very important. Apple doing something to fix this bug immediately?

I don't think you have a case.
You can replace the logic board yourself if you are a DIY'er and save some money.

Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

More details on your upgrade would help. For example, did you upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard or did you simply upgrade from 10.9.0 to 10.9.1.

If you reinstall Mac OSX 10.5, does it erase all your files and settings??

If you reinstall Mac OSX 10.5, does it erase all your files and settings, if it does, how would you install iMovie by itself, because I accidenatlly deleted imovie

jd087 wrote:

that depends what reinstall option you choose. an erase and install will erase everything. an archive and install will preserve user data and applications.
However neither one will reinstall imovie which is part of ilife which is separate from the OS itself. you can reinstall ilife only. there is no need to reinstall the whole OS. if you bought ilife separately then use the ilife DVD. if ilife came with your mac then insewrt install disk 1 that came with your computer, open it in finder and double-click on "install bundled software only".

Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

It sounds like you've installed Mavericks. You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu. You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks. It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it. This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same). I want to copy photos from one to the other. how?

I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same). I want to copy photos from one to the other. how?

I'm sorry. I got a little off-the-wall there.
I want to have the same iPhoto files on both machines. A few days ago I spent several hours swapping photos back and forth until I had one event with identical picture files on both. Yesterday I scanned some old photos into the Macbook. Today I wanted to copy them to the iMac. I could not remember what I had done a few days ago, so I spent a couple of frustrating hours trying to either remember or find another way, to no avail. I have no idea what I did right before; I only recall that it was pretty easy.
I didn't write anything down. I used to do that, but what I do is so intermittent that by the time I want to copy pictures again either (a) the app has been updated and the old way doesn't work (b) I've lost the paper with the notes on it or (everything seems fine but it just doesn't work. So I gave that up.
Yes, I do want both iPhoto libraries to be the same. The Macbook is the one with the scanner and I download from my camera on the iMac, so I need to be able to move photos from one to the other, I think.

New OSX not does not work with RED Rocket Card and old OSX Randomly Logs Out - UNSTABLE

It looks like my MBPR 16GB (MacBook Pro) randomly logs out and causes my programs to quit unsaved. I can not update to the new OSX mountain Lion because the new Apple release is no longer compatible with the RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage. Mountain Lion causes the RED Rocket to not run correctly with Adobe Premiere.
At the same time, I am on Lion and my computer randomly logs me out and I lose all my work. It seems as though the Retina is unstable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can someone tell me how I can return this. It seems as though I may have to switch the entire company over to PC if this is not figured out soon.

You probably have not received responses for two reasons.
1. There are not many here that know what this is "RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage"
2. Your post appears to contain some sort of threat to Apple about moving to PCs. You are not addressing Apple here. We are users just like you. We don't care if you change over to PCs.
MBPs and Lion are very stable. Maybe your unsupported third party Red card is causing issues. Their answer seems to be that Mountain Lion is not supported. I wonder why?
My suggestion if this is a business environment is to not mess with this. If you know for a fact that your Red card works with PCs, change over to PCs. I know that if some tool was not working for my business I would not hesitate to get something that worked.

Intel IMac System Crash and Loss of Info bug on OSX 10.4.11....

I believe there is a bug (or perhaps is just my ignorance about unix OSs').
It has happened to me twice now since I got my IMac last year.
The thing is that I love the way my IMac Looks and I always try to customize the looks and to trick a little bit the performance by using Parallels, Garage Band, Photoshop, and running them perfectly with my 2Ghz Intel core duo. 1.5Gb RAM, and 512Mb only allocated for Parallels desktops memory.
I Usually change the Icons, folders Names and Backgrounds... you know, all the tricks you can do with these things... BUT... (The 1st time this happened to me, was about a year ago, one month after I changed from PC when I first configured my IMac. I had to reinstall Mac OSX, and I lost all the Info.)
I renamed the home folder from a finder window: pablozuluaga-giraldo > to > ZuLu...
and Boom... It Crashes, You reboot the computer and it does not remeber anything...
Folder views, Icons, Nothing... Even the mouse and Dock configurations changed drastically.
Maybe its my ignorance, like I said, and you cannot change the name of the home folder in finder because the disk suddenly gets lost and does not find nor remembers your information...
Is my Information Lost? I would not think so because the volume values have not changed, and I have not erased anything...
Therefore, I believe they are "displaced" from where they Should be....
Could anybody help me find them please?
I've managed to see the hidden files in OSX, but this is gonna take way more unix than that.
There is Invaluable information imperative for University projects in there....
Please...!

Hello & Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Renaming your HomeFolder is a bad idea....perhaps the info here can sort things out for you...

I need help with my Mac OSX 10.5.8. How can I use and install Flash Player 11.7?

From one to another day it wasn't possible to watch videos from certain TV channels in my browser (Firefox, but I think it doesn't matter).
I have Mac OSX 10.5.8 and don't know how I can use Flashplayer 11.7. Do I have to upgrade to Mac OSX 10.6? Does it really work then?
Or is the technical progress so fast, that if I upgrade to 10.6, they invent a new Flashplayer and I can't use it anymore? Do I have to upgrade maybe even to Mac OSX 10.7 and then OSX 10.8? I am confused...
It is really unfair, that a 5 year old laptop is too old to use normal equipement!
Can someone help me and tell me if my assumption is right?
Thank you very much!
Snootsy

Is this a PowerPC? See
What version of Flash Player should I use with my Power PC based Mac?
