Plex Media or Server will not install on MacBook Air OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion

I am trying to install Plex Media Plex Server on the latest Mac OS X 10.8.5 - it will not install? Keep getting error. Have to manually open up server from downloads folder - rather than it automatically be on top menu bar like it is suppose to be? I get message that the program is not supported or a recognized Mac software. But I know several have used this media server with the Apple platform and their smart tvs with success - however, on older operating systems.

Since April 22, 2013 Netflix won't stream on my MacBook Pro 17" 2009 ver. Called Netflix support and was given the heave ho. Netflix asked if I used any other device. I told them I use an iPad with a Netflix app and they responded; "If you can successfully stream on one device its not our problem!" And that is Netflix Support response in a nutshell. Apparently, Netflix is trying to disable any device that they feel is simultaneously streaming from a single account. This is a pretty dastardly approach to enforce that policy which Netflix doesn't want new members aware of. I personally feel this is a misquided business approach devoid of any ethics or fair play whatsoever. But what else is new. Time to CANCEL YOUR NETFLIX NOW.

Snow Leopard will not install on Macbook Air--have spent days on this!

Hi, all!
I have tried almost 10 times to install the Snow Leopard upgrade to my MacBook Air via the remote disk and it has either frozen, quit, or disconnected each time (freezing is the most common occurrence). It takes 5 or more hours to get to that point. The computer with the disk in it is a MacBook (Intel), and both computers have plenty of space available and are running on the same secure wireless network, so there shouldn't be a problem. (I have installed applications between these two computers before.)
This is incredibly frustrating, so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Lisa

It's highly likely that your wireless network is the problem. Normally I'd recommend grabbing a couple pieces of CAT5 and hooking both machines up via wired network temporarily but that's not an option with the Air.
You could try at least connecting the MacBook via wire, eliminating at least half the wireless contention (turn off the wireless on it to be sure you're using the wire). Since you've already tried 10 times, an 11th probably isn't out of the question.

Adobe Flash will not install on MacBook Air.

Just picked up my MacBook Air and need Adobe Flash for Adobe Connect for a class I'm taking. I've downloaded it and installed it, clicked finish but when I run the test for Adobe Connect I keep getting the message that I need to install Flash. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am new to Mac.

Try the suggestions here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
If nothing helped, repair permissions.
Disconnect the iPhone.
On your Mac open Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Then select: Repair Disk Permissions
This process can take a few minutes.
When it's done, restart your Mac and connect the iPhone.

Download version will not install on MacBook

I purchased Version 2.0 as an upgrade download, but it will not install on a MacBook. Is there some trick. I have the multimedia version or so I thought.
Thank you,
Mike

You can't install the App Store version of Mavericks because your model needs a special version. If you ever need to reinstall it, boot into Recovery.

The iMovie 11 update I just bought from the App Store will not install on Macbook Pro

I have a Macbook Pro and I have iLife 09, I updated all the other iLife 09 apps to iLife 11 (iPhoto, Garage Band) . So I bought the update for iMovie yesterday and it seems to downloaded fine but when I click the install button it doesn't do anything. Can you guys point me in the right direction to get this installed
Thanks

You have a corrupted old system. At the very least you need to repair the hard drive and permissions before trying to install Mountain Lion. However, this my not be sufficient. You may need to reinstall your old system before trying to install Mountain Lion.
Of course it would be more useful were you to provide the full information on the error message and what OS X version you currently have installed. Also check that you can install Mountain Lion on your model:
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

App Store will not open on MacBook Air

Hello - I am unable to open the Mac App Store. When I click on the App Store App it briefly apprears in the dock (less than 1/2 second) and then disappears. I have tried:
1) Restarting
2) Closing all apps, and trying again.
3) Forcing all apps closed, then closing as many things as possible in Activty Monitor
I am farily good with computers but am unable to figure this one out. I am getting to the point of reinstalling OSX but would like to keep that as a last resort.
Below are the details of my machine. Any help would be appreciated.
13in MacBook Air (Late 2010) running OSX 10.9

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Lightroom 4 will not start on MacBook Air

New Lightroom and Mac user so help needed please - Lightroom installed on Mac Air Book (LIon OS) but will not open - keep getting error message - "error occurred when attempting to change modules" - Any ideas please
Thank you
Tony T

I have exactly the same problem. I was running on a 32 bit system without any problems, but after instaling Win7 in 64 bit, this is the result. Sometimes an error message appears when starting Lightroom, saying the application crashed, but most of the time it just doesn't start.

IPod Touch 4th Gen will not connect to Macbook Air

Okay, so I've been trying to connect my iPod to my Macbook Air for a few days now to get some very important videos to transfer into iPhoto so I can get them sent to people that have been requesting them of me by their deadlines. I've also wanted to do some general charging of my device.
Here's the problem; when I connect the USB cord (Original one that I received with my iPod from Apple) to the only USB port the Macbook Air has, it refuses to connect, charge and/or synch with my computer. Up until about three days ago, it would connect and charge just fine with the computer, but now it is not.
When I plug the usb into my wall charger however, it recognizes and charges the device just fine.
I've had both my Air and iPod inspected recently at the Genius Bar, and there is NOTHING wrong with either device, so that is NOT the cause of the issue.
I want to know how to fix this, and whether or not buying a new cord would help, as I need the files on it to get to my computer ASAP. (Emailing the videos from the iPod is NOT an option as they're longer than one minute, and it will only let me email one minute clips.)

I brought all three yeah.
And the guy that assisted me hooked it to their computers and it worked fine, and then he hooked it to mine and wiggled it around for a couple seconds and it worked for him but now I can't get it to do anything at all.
And as I said he checked the hardware and everything of both my Air and the iPod and said there was nothing wrong with it.
I'll try buying a new cord when I get paid and see if that fixes anything.

External Hard drive will not mount on Macbook Air (mid-2011) OSX 10.9.4

Hello Everyone!
Needs some help resolving this issue. External hard drive (Toshiba v63600-C) will not mount anymore on my mothers-in-law's macbook air. She notice this problem starting on the Aug 6th. You can see it in the Disk Utility but is not mounted. I can get the her ext hard drive to mount on my Macbook Pro with no problem. I also tried my personal ext hard drive (Seagate) on her Macbook Air and it will not mount. Not sure what is going on here. Any help is appreciated in resolving this issue.
Disk Utility
Mount Point : Not mounted Capacity : 1 TB (1,000,096,367,104 Bytes)
Format : Windows NT Filesystem (Tuxera NTFS) Available : -
Owners Enabled : - Used : -
Number of Folders : - Number of Files : -
Actions Taken So Far:
1) Confirmed "external disk" is selected under Finder's Preference
2) Reset PRAM
3) Ran Verify Disk and Repair Disk under Disk Utility with no change.
4) Tried manually mounting disk in Disk Utility but get "Mount Failed" error

You may believe this is Apple's problem but I just like Baltwo have had absolutely no problems with any of my Firewire drives in Lion. So unless you can come up with much stronger evidence to the contrary, I doubt that your feeling are going to carry any weight at all.

New Epson WF 7620 will not print with Macbook Air, receive "Print File Was Not Accepted" message.

Hello! To anyone who tries to help me, thank you in advance!
I brought home a new Epson WF 7620 yesterday and did all the necessary stuff, installing it with my Macbook Air (Mac OS X ; 10.7.4.). I installed the software from the site, added the printer to my printer list, enabled "print sharing" and connected it to my wifi network. I am trying to use it wirelessly.
I tried to print a test page of a regular PNG image, but I am receiving the "Print File Was Not Accepted" message in my printer queue. I have changed the file type a couple times to JPG and PDF but more of the same. I have also reset the printer, and have repaired the disk permissions in the Disk Utility to try and get it to work.
None of this seems to be working, suggestions very appreciated!
Thanks
MP

Try Linc's suggestion first. That should cure your issue. If not, here's something else to consider:

Apple keeps a set of current software for Epson printers. You should start by going to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and delete the printer from the list (using the "-" key). Then download Apple's software version from here:
Epson Printer Drivers v2.18 for OS X
Finally, set up the printer as shown here:

Lacie HD will not mount to Macbook Air...

Ok, I have a Lacie Rugged 1TB HD. My 24'' iMac (running Snow Leopard) reads it fine. But my new Macbook Air (running Mountain Lion) does not recognize it. The HD does not show up in Disk Utility on the Air either. I have taken all the date from the HD and backed it up on a separate external HD. After that, I erased the Lacie and reformated it to the "Mac OS Extended" and the Macbook Air still will not mount to the Lacie external.
Is there anything I can do to get the Macbook Air to mount to the Lacie HD? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you used other external drives on the air before? Are you using thunderbolt or USB? If you bought your air from apple you should take it in to a store and have them check the ports. You could run an extended hardware test, although I'm not sure if that would check the ports working ability.

Wife's new iPhone 5 will not sync with MacBook air.

My new iPhone 5 syncs perfectly well via my iTunes account with my MacBook Air. Over time I think my wiofe and I may have shared access to my iTunes account but she definitely has her own as well and there are times I have needed to enter her password when purchasing something and vice versa.
So I tried to back up her old iphone to our (new) MacBook Air. It wouldn't. It seems to want to back up to our old PC. I wanted to set her iPhone 5 up from an IiTunes backup but can't.
What should I do? Set her phone up from new?
Help!

The MacBook has my iTunes account and plenty of music, photos, apps etc on it. I tried logging out of my itunes account and into hers but her phone would still not sync with the macbook. How can I get her phone to recognise the macbook and vice versa?

External superdrive is not working on macbook pro 15 inch(2011 model) with mountain lion

Hi,
I try to install windows in my macbook pro via bootcamp, but since I installed latest osx mountain lion on it, the external superdrive doesn't work anymore( even if on the startup mode, hardware can't detect it). superdrive works on my 2009-2010 mac mini server. help!

The USB SuperDrive only works on Macs without SuperDrive, so it's not compatible with your Mac. You have to use your internal SuperDrive to install Windows
