Problem setting up Mac after downloading OS X

This is an issue with my mini Mac.
I downloaded the OS X maverick
It downloaded and now I am stuck
At this white screen it says
Setting up your Mac...
Grey check mark complete
Second check mark complete
Picture of grey mini Mac
Then timer searching..... Setting up....
It's been doing this for hours!
I can't access anything.
I tried shutting down but I end up back here.

See if it created a Recovery Volume. If so, boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions. Then reinstall the OS.

  • Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

  • Desktop Icon does not launch program on Mac after download

    Purchased from Adobe via internet.  Akamai interface downloaded and then Photoshop Elements 11.  Both icons on Mac desktop.  Double clicking on PE 11 does not launch program.  Is it fully downloaded?  I get Read Me file in four languages as well as a PE 11 icon after double clicking the desktop icon.
    Thanks

    Thank you.  The download directions did not include the part about double clicking the desktop Elements icon, double clicking the elements icon within the box that opened and then clicking on "install."  Okay, so i am not computer savvy, but the directions gave the impression that the download was complete after following the supplied instructions.  Who knew?  I did not want to duplicate a download, so was apprehensive to take this action.  Did it anyway out of frustration and it worked.  Obviously, the application was not entirely downloaded.   Now, i get to learn a whole new application as IPhoto bites!  I spent hours and hours, days upon days scanning and editing old family photos in IPhoto only to learn that the program re-sorted my photo order when i tried to make copies for family.  I lost my edits, lost my photo notes and had to retrieve my entire library before presenting several hundred multi generational family photos to everyone in my extended family!  Hopefully, this application will be an improvement!
    Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

  • Is anyone having wifi problems on their iPad after downloading iOS8?

    My mother has downloaded iOS8 onto her iPad3 and is now unable to get wifi on it. It keeps asking her for the wireless key but when she inputs it, the wifi icon appears at the top of the screen as usual then just as quickly disappears. Has anyone else experienced this and been able to solve it?

    This is great news that everyone's WiFi are having issues after an iOS update!!!
    Let me explain, and I hope someone from Apple really really looks and responds to this issue effecting everyone.
    I updated my iPad2 to iOS 7.1 a few months back, and then I stopped getting WiFi when I'm more than 10 yards from my router at home.  Tested in multiple WiFi networks, locations (in different countries even), and even went as far as changing the settings or shutting off any other airwave frequency devices at home (like 2.4 GHz handsfree phones, radios, tvs, PS3 wireless controllers, bluetooth signals).  I even had my iPhone4 (iOS6) and iPhone 5S (on iOS7.1.2) as comparison since they have no issues. What I found out was, my iPad2 on iOS7.1 performs weakly on 2.4 GHz signals.  5.0 GHz much better.  I don't mind replacing my old 2.4 GHz only router to one with 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz, but it won't solve the problem when I go to a network in the public (like airports where I frequent). 
    I went to the Apple Store 4 separate times (in 2 countries), to let them know about the situation.  They could not do a distance test at the Apple store, because they are on the 2.4/5.0 routers. They did a diagnostic twice with the hardware, and everything checked out fine.  So they began advising me to "Reset Network Settings" and even as far as "Reset All Settings"... basically started from a blank iPad2, nothing worked because I'm sure it was a iOS7.1 issue.  I don't think they have 2 different pieces of WiFi receiver on the iPad2, and I am certain it is a software issue.  Makes me think, did they purposely change settings to weaken the receiving of the 2.4 GHz signal?  (That's just a civil lawsuit waiting to happen...)
    I downloaded iOS8.0 on to my iPad2 hoping they fixed this WiFi issue that has already been a hot topic in these forums since iOS7, but of course the update failed to correct the problem.  Right now, to me, it sounds more and more like an overlook iOS programming that maybe causing this WiFi issue, since it is also happening to people who upgraded to iOS8 and iOS8.0.1 for many different type of devices (even on brand new iPhone6).  An WiFi only iPad2 that can't receive WiFi is very close to being a brick.  Is not a good feeling bringing your iPad2 to the airport to find out it won't pick up a signal. 
    I'm no computer expert, but if you can tweak your router to broadcast stronger on one signal via software (b/n/g/ac, or 2.4 vs 5.0 GHz), I'm sure something can be done with the receiver?  Apple, if you are reading this, please do something!!!  This isn't just an iOS8 issue... it has been an issue since iOS7 but no one in the Apple world believes it is an issue.  And now I hope you can see from all these postings about WiFi issue, you have to believe that it may be a software/programming issue. If the software somehow created a hardware/firmware issue, then replace our hardware/firmware please. 
    Perhaps Tim Cook should get this message maybe he will respond better. What's his email address? #TimCook.  #Apple.  #iPadTurningInToABrick  #FixtheWiFiPlease

  • Major problems and vital errors after downloading

    left the mac downloading from itunes (through firefox) and did not return for a few hours - when i did i found a program called Talkback had installed itself, and the computer seemed to have crashed. i restarted to find a large number of vital errors:
    1: finder is non-responsive
    2: all documents from hard drive have disappeared/unable to see anything
    3:the programmes themselves are working - i can access the internet on firefox for example- (as i am now)
    4: when i open Safari this programme TALKBACK appears on the dock (and error messages pop up). it cannot be dragged to the trash
    5: all drop down menus are blank (including apple menu), all dialogue boxes are blank
    6: all typing apart from in specific apps(ie here!) is blank
    7; all desktop files and folders have disappeared
    8: fonts have changed style
    What can i do? luckily i have everything on an external hard drive, but most of the computer is unusable. What is Talkback and what has it done?
    Any help GRATEFULLY recieved.
    p.s- i have already posted on this topic but did not give a good title to get attention!

    It would really be good if you had the original disks so you could run the Apple hardware test. You can call Apple support and if they still have sets available, they're around $60. You could also buy the TechTool Pro utility which does the same type of hardware testing, as well as has pretty good disk repair functionality, better than what the Apple Disk Utility can handle. When the Apple Disk Utility won't repair a hard drive, Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro are the two choices for repairs.

  • Problem with License MAC after change Time Zone in UCCX 8.02

    Hi all,
    Please I need Help.
    The last weekend, we changed the Time Zone in we Cluster of UCCX 8.02.
    Now when entry to administration page, show a warning that says.
    “The Unified CCX Systems is currently using a license that has a grace period of 30 days”
    How i can solve this problem. I must go back with the change , and return time zone previous ?
    Thanks
    Guillermo

    Welcome to the wonderful world of Cisco Licensing with 8.5 (perhaps 8.0 as well). Changes to the IP address, hostname, DNS, Time Zone, and a few other fields will change your License MAC and invalidate all licenses.
    Send an email to [email protected] asking them to rehost your license for the new license mac.

  • Problem with keeping Firefox after downloading

    How do I save firefox after it is downloaded. I get it up and running and I have the icon on my desktop, but when I shut the computer down it is not saved in the applications files.
    I have moved the icon into the applications but it keeps disappearing
    Craig

    After you've double-clicked the Firefox dmg file, a disk with a white icon should appear on your desktop. Open this icon and locate the item inside named Firefox; once this is done, drag that item to your desktop or into the Applications folder. Firefox should now remain where you've put it.
    The mounted dmg file will be unmounted each time you log out of the computer, which is done when you shut it down. You can add the file to the list of login items for your account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences if you want.
