Permissions differ on "System/Library/Components/AudioCodecs.component/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .
Permissions differ on
"System/Library/QuickTime/AppleProResDecoder.component/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .

Please help, I am going nuts, spend another day of my life in the black hole with a broken mac, my girlfrends PC has never had a problem in 3 years !

Maybe you have hardware problem.
I would try running the extended version of your Apple Hardware Test.
It's not perfect but may flag something.
A more thorough test for RAM is the free Rember.
Use the extended test also.
Here's a nice faq on RAM testing.

Thanks,

Contact Adobe sales or Adobe Customer Service.
You would have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac as a "cross-grade" or platform swap.
They will not allow you to simply swap for CS5 Mac, because CS5 is no longer sold or supported.
You can either upgrade to CS6 Mac by way of platform swap for some $200, or you can join the Cash Cow subscription mode.

Why should I switch my Nokia 1020 for an Iphone 5c

Ive been using an Iphone 4 for the last 2 year's and that phone never missed a beat ! when my upgrade time came the cost of new Iphone's was too much for me so upgraded to a Nokia Lumia 1020. It's a nice phone with some great feature's but I really feel the need to switch back.
Please let me know youre opinions. Why should I switch back.
Please help as it's driving me crazy.

Who do you want to be in email for support, etc.? Do you want to be kwarp on the internet and on a resume? What image do you want to project? Individual or business or phantom or...? How good are you at juggling both references? Which would you want on a business card?
I wouldn't want to strictly maintain two IDs (nick versus real), especially for the long term.
Pick one and stick with it. Let the other be incidental.
I also believe these are detailed when doing the contracts, with at least partial explanations of how they will be used, so you can ponder your way during the application process.
Developer ID/Name (as registered by you) shows up as 'seller' as I recall - different from the name version attached to the copyright tag. You could use 'kwarp' as seller with 'greg lieberman' after the copyright and at least for this example, use both.

Is there a known problem with the latest Shockwave player for Windows that will reboot a user without notification"

This problem is not with the actual Shockwave Application but the patch. Thanks!

This behavior was first observed with the 12.1.6.156 patch. The command line used to install the patch is: sw_lic_full_installer.exe /S. The /S switch installs the patch silently. However, in some cases, computers reboot without prompting the user

I am unable to install version 4, any dowload option automatically prompts a version 5 download. Where do I download version 4 without it switching to a version 5 download. Alternately, where can i find a reload-every addon that will work with version 5?

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

Does anyone have problems upgrading Premiere Elements 12 with the latest update that will fix bugs and improve the stability of the program?

Hi there!
I can´t update my software, it starts to download and everything but when it is supposed to start the update I only get an error message.
The update is to the 12.1 version of the software and with a size of 67 MB.
The error message that I get is like follows:
"Adobe Premiere Elements 12.1-update
An error has occurred during the installation of this update. Cancel and try again later. Error code: U44M1I210"
Can anyone help me to find a solution of this problem please?
I run 64-bit version of Windows 7. (And I have the 64-bit version of Premiere Elements 12)
Best regards!

lily
Please look at the following possible Premiere Elements 12 solution for the 12 to 12.1 Update.
I am assuming that you are using Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. If others, please supply more details.
Do you have Premiere CC or any Creative Cloud products on this same computer?
Right click the Premiere Elements 12 desktop icon and select Run As Administrator. Also, assure that you are running your
computer and Premiere Elements from a User Account with Administrative Privileges.
Disable the antivirus and in particular the firewall(s).
Then open Premiere Elements 12 to Expert workspace Help Menu/Update and determine if you can Update from 12 to 12.1.
Thank you.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for a 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

My iPhoto won't load. I click on it and it just keeps showing the spinning wheel like it's loading, but it doesn't. It doesn't even show my albums anymore. What do I do? Should I get the iPhoto '11 and maybe that would work?

I don't know what to do. I've restarted, I've tried redownloading and updating. It's really frustrating and upsetting. If anyone could help it'd be appreciated!!

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the new library can be created and open without a problem make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I have same apple ID as my kids and I have all of their contacts and app's show up on my phone. I was thinking I should create a new apple ID for myself but will I lose my contacts and my songs?

How do I get rid of my kids phone contacts and app's from showing up on my phone?

Keep the existing ID for yourself and either give the kids their own individual accounts or check out the new family plan.

New SSD, but LOTS of Permissions Problems

I have installed a new SSD drive alongside my 1.5TB spinning drive on my 24" 2009 iMac 2.93GHz. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to move my everything except my User account over to the new 60GB SSD.
I originally assigned the User's folder on the old drive using the Users & Groups User/Advanaced Options window to change the Home directory, but that resulted in unrecoverable crashes and I had to reinstall the OS three times until I finally left my old files on the old drive and just ran my Applications on the new drive, keeping everything else on the old drive, but not connected as a "user".
However I've run into a ton of permissions problems with every file I open and many programs that access thos files and have done this so far to fix it:
Run resetpassword on both drives in terminal when I rebooted to the Mac OS X install disk (Lion).
Run Drive Genius' repair permissions utility.
Run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
I continue to have issues with every file I use on the old drive, so I'm at a loss to fix this in place. I did read somewhere that moving your files to another drive, then reformatting then moving back can by default fix any permissions issues, so am considering this as a fix:
Move files on the old 1.5TB drive, folder-by-folder to an external drive.
Reformat the "old" internal 1.5TB.
Recopy everything on that external back on to my 1.5TB drive.
Run Repair permissions on both drives.
This isn't fast or elegant, but I want the issue fixed. I don't want to have to open "info" on every file I use and check and change every file permission before I can use it!
Any input on whether or not this is a real fix or is there a better one?
Thanks!

May not have anything to do with your issue but often
the master disk image loaded on your hard disk before
it leaves the factory has old (and/or odd) bits of
code on it. Plus the transfer is done as fast as
possible. Last they do not zero and erase the drive
before putting the image on it, so if there are bad
sectors they may not be marked as such and may be in
use (& corrupted).
As you are having trouble get your data off as best
you can, erase AND ZERO the drive, repartition, and
only then re-load from your Install DVD.
Takes extra time but better safe than sorry...
Well, I have no real means to do this now as I sold off my G5 already
Also, how do you zero it?
When I reformatted my G5, I picked the option to wipe and reinstall, yet when I did, the drive name and bluetooth names were still my old ones! - Not encouraging.
In any case, its clear I have a software problem, so looks like I'll need to burn a zillion dvds and start over .
Thanks.

Should I Switch Compan

I purchased a Nomad?Zen Xtra in 2005. After a short while it failed and I returned it. Creative sent me a new one as it was still under warranty. Within a few months I had problems with the replacement?unit freezing. I tried to follow the self-help and e-mail support, but the problems persisted. I found that about once a month the unit would freeze up. The only cure was to remove the battery and let it sit overnight. It would then work fine for awhile. Yesterday it froze and the recovery feature says there is a problem with the hard dri've. Unfortunately, the web site says service/support is discontinued for this model. Not only that, but you can't even pick up the phone and talk to customer service. MY ONLY QUANDRY - Does Creative make good products and I'm just unlucky, or should I just dump the brand for something else? Two dead players in 3 years and a lack of support suggests?
POOR QUALITY.

its more like a symptom of todays manufacturing industry, where products must be made at the cheapest possible price and sold for as much as the companies can get away with, they manufacturers probably have to do so many units an hour for the production line to achei've its cost targets, and at the end of the day mass produced goods made for as little as possible are going to suffer in teh qaulity department one way or another, it doesnt matter weather its a creative player, or whatever as long as stuff is mass produced witht eh aims of keeping costs to a bare minimum theres bound to be some units that wont last long.
