Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows. The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto. Any idea of what to do about this problem?
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out. -
I have been using GRAB to capture screen displays. It has just stopped working since the last OSX Upgrade. Can anyone, please help restore functionality?
Thanks for that. I did as suggested but when I tried again, it still did not work. Another com.apple.Grab.plist appeared in the Library.
I now have the following files in Library
file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist
file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist.lockfile
file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/
file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.plist.lockf ile
What do you suggest I do now? -
I have Mac mini and there is partition of boot camp but some miss understanding the osx 10.8.2 is deleted and while I m going to recovery mode the portition can not removing and the also cant repaired what I do I need urgent help ???? Please ?????
Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone? If not,
all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD
and install all else. -
Basically all in the title. Also, some additional info: partition was 115 GBs for Windows, 385 or whatever for OSX (I have a 500 GB Harddrive), I have tried restarting multiple times, and the drive will recognize the DVD, but almost as if the DVD is blank, as it asks me to format it or drag files to it, etc.
Hold your "Option" key down while starting your machine. Continue to hold it down until you are presented with the boot menu which should allow you to select either OS X or Windows (provided you didn't somehow wipe your OS X partition). When you get into OS X, you can go to System Preferences / Startup Disk. Here you can select the default startup partition (OS X or Windows)... when you're installing Windows via BootCamp, it gets changed to Windows so when you finish setting up BootCamp, it automatically reboots and launches the Windows installer. Installing all of the Windows drivers from the OS X DVD should provide you with a Startup Disk option under Windows as well.

Will the Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook work with the Thunderbolt Display?
I'm looking into buying a new Thunderbolt Display, but do I need to buy a new MacBook Pro or will the Thunderbolt Display work with my Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook?
Yes. You'll need to create a Mavericks USB installer from the App Store download, and the App Store is only available with 10.6 and above, so that's a challenge for you to overcome, but that SSD will install just fine.

OSX 10.9.x
We have device licenses which we have deployed via Deploy Studio image, however occasionally a single Mac in a classroom will refuse to load Creative Cloud apps and demands that the user signs in with an Adobe ID. If a valid Adobe ID is used (even the one attached to our account that was used to download the device licenses) then we get the option of activating a trial mode.
All Macs have Internet access, and CC has only been installed over the last few months. Re-imaging resolves the problem, but is a bit overkill as a solution.
Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?Hi screen-name-pf ,
We need to see the PDApp.log and amt3.log file of the machine where the install is failing to tell you the reason of failure. The log file is formed at /usr/Library/Logs/PDApp.log.

I can't install firefox on mu powerbookG4
Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac and require at least OS X 10.5 and '''an Intel Mac'''.
see [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/system-requirements/ Firefox 9.0.1 System Requirements]
'''The latest supported version for your os is 3.6.25 '''you can download from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/ Firefox 3.6 System Requirements]
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions if you like try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8

Usb keyboard keys stop working after 10 minutes on mac mini osx lion
I am using a mid-2010 mac mini with opitical drive, updated to OS X Lion. Within the last two days I noticed a certain section of my wired keyboard eventually stops working. These are the right arrow key, as well as the 1, 2, 3, zero, period and enter keys. The virtual on-screen keyboard works just fine. I've come home from work and powered the mac and all keys work fine for ten minutes so it can't be that the keys are worn. I was going to take it to Apple Store genius bar but now I can't tell if it's the hardware or the lion software that's buggy.
I had terrible problems last year with the USB ports on my 20" display. They were made worse when I installed a USB 2.0 PCI card in my G5.
At the time the advice I got was that I should avoid using the display as a USB hub. Apparently the ports are only intended for devices relating to the display (whatever that means). Ridiculous if you ask me. I succesfully use my Cubase SX dongle in the back of the display but that's all. -
My computer froze during a back up and since then I cannot access system because the keyboard doesn't work at all and the computer is password protected. Can anyone help please?
You may need a wired keyboard to carry out some of these steps. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
Step 1
Follow the instructions in these support articles:
How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
Bluetooth devices become unresponsive
Step 2
The keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Step 3
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
See these support articles:
Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
Bluetooth: Unreliable wireless performance may occur when USB 3.0 external devices are close
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. -
Im New To Mac (obviously) Do I Need To Download A Supplemental App To Use It? If So What Is The App Called?
Applications designed to run only on the PowerPC processors in the Macs of five and more years ago can't run on new Macs under the Lion operating system. If the authors of your textbooks and the software that accompanies them haven't updated their software in all that time, you can't use it on your Mac. There is no workaround.
PS: Your posts would be much easier for others to read if you used standard capitalization instead of capitalizing every word. -
Mac shortcuts (OSX Yosemite) stop working after Edge Animate runs for a while
When I first open up an Edge animation file all my shortcuts work fine, such as Command-S to save.
After the software has been running for a while all my OSX shortcuts stop working and I have to copy, paste and save from the File menu instead.
When I restart the program it all goes back to normal for a short while and then they stop working again.
Some more info in case it's helpful:
My current project is based around animating SVG shapes (character animation).
I'm running Yosemite OSX.
Adobe Edge 2014.1.1 is the version I'm using
It crashes consistently but pops up a 'save your work' message first. I'd say at least once a day if I don't restart frequently enough.
I restart about every hour or so as I'm working.
My OSX shortcuts work fine in other software such as Photoshop, this is specific to Edge
My hardware is as follows:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro10,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Just putting this up here in case any other Edge users on Mac have noticed anything similar.Hi Danny,
Thanks for writing to us with your concern. We are sorry to know that you are facing problems while using Adobe Edge Animate.
How often is it happen? Is there any time frame like after 1 hour or 2 hours this issue is occurred?
Can you please try updating your Mac Book 10.10.3?
Please share the result.
Regards,

I forgot to mention that there is a grey screen on startup also a flashing folder with a question mark. I have tried the solutions offered on these forum pages. I cannot get past the disk utility screen.
Regarding the DVD in the optical drive:

The MBP cannot find the OSX, and either the HDD or connector has failed. If you can get the installation DVD to work, start the installation process and when the menu bar appears on the display, select 'Utilities'. From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility>First Aid and run 'Verify' and 'Repair'. If unsuccessful, a new HDD is in your future.
If you cannot get the DVD to function, then a trip to an Apple store is your best option.

I have been downloading Mountain Lion for MAC for over 4 hrs. and it seems to be stuck about 2/3 of the way through. I have a I mac that is only 2 yrs old has 8 GB memory and I updated all software, checked utilitie for any disc repairs andbacked up everything before I started this process. Can someone tell me what to do Right now the version is OSX 10.6.8.
Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off. -
Keyboard keys dont work in Mac OSx
The following keys suddenly stop working and then continue working randomly: F1 to F7, but the F keys work (eg to show desktop) and also the right (and only the right) shift key.
This does not depend on what software I have running and happens very very frequently.
If I bring up the Keyboard Viewer when the problem exists, the keys also dont get registered on the keyboard viewer.
This is really annoying and happens in Mac OSx, not in Windows - although volume and brightness keys dont work (all the time) in Windows - less of an issue though.
Any suggestions??I'm having a similar problem. But it is not intermittent, they just don't work.
What can I do to fix this? If I use my wireless keyboard, it isn't a problem. Just when I use my laptop by itself...
