Programs have started to shut down my finder bar (iPhoto, iTunes, Photobooth) and now it happens when I try to access my iPhone4 in iTunes. I have a Black Macbook running 10.5.8

I have a black Macbook running 10.5.8. A while ago iPhoto stopped opening. Time Machine also stopped working properly- it would back up for about 10 gB and then would stop. Photobooth also then began to stop working correctly; it would make my finder bar disappear if I opened it requiring me to shut down the computer and restart. Last week when I went to sync my iPhone4 the same thing happened. Last night I couldn't even open my iPhone4 in iTunes when I tried, closing iTunes and removing the finder bar again. I have been to the Genius Bar and it appears that my harddrive is okay. I have repaired permissions but still this keeps happening. Any ideas on what to do?

Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
See: Capacity
Before deleting anymore files, verify the startup disk.
Open Disk Utility   /Applications/Utilites
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions).
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.
If the startup disk is ok, try installing the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.
that I can't access my app store to set it up.
Just so you are aware, you use iTunes to sync, restore, and backup an iPhone, not the App Store for Mac OS X.

  • I finished adding my transtions to my timeline.  I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

    What Happened?
    No way for us to know.  But if your system was crashing, there definitely was a problem.  The FCE error message you got normally indicates the FCE project file has been corrupted.  This probably happened due to whatever caused your system to crash & shutting down the system.
    First, make sure your system is running correctly.  Then, use the Finder to navigate to /users/yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/Autosave Vault and find the most recent backup copy of your FCE project file.  Copy the file to your Final Cut Express Documents folder (copy the file, don't just move it).  Then double-click the copy to open it in FCE.  It should open ok, but will probably not have your most recent edits (transitions).  You may have to rebuild the transitions, but at least you will be back in action.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it.

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

    What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
    In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

    if that fails, uninstall ps, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and reinstall.  then use the manual updates.

  • You cannot update this software as you have not owned a major version of this software? This is what I get when I try to update my apps on itunes.

    You cannot update this software as you have not owned a major version of this software? This is what I get when I try to update my apps on itunes. What does this mean..I have been having trouble..and reached out but they seem to not understand the problem.. No one has been able to help..It is like I don't have my past history with them anymore? I don't have my past purchases either.

    Same here. Just becoming a nightmare. Updated iTunes and now can't update apps it itself is showing as available updates. Count me in on the latest "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." bug.
    Next I have to post about a new problem in iPhoto on a new thread.... it lost the "link" between some but not all photos I have in the library and what it itself posted to FaceBook a few hours ago...
    Incredibly frustrating.

  • I am getting this error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to Firefox home. I have uninstalled add-ons, uninstaleed and reinstalled a fresh new firefox which did not help

    I am getting the following error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled add-ons , uninstalled Firefox and then installed a fresh version. Still have the problem.
    Thanks for the help

    That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Packages) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
    You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).

  • When I try to access files on my external hard drive on one macbook, it says I have insufficient access privileges. I use the external hard drive on my other macbook and it works fine. How can I fix this problem?

    I've tried looking the answer up on google, but I've come up empty handed. Do I need to change permissions somewhere? I've tried setting everyone to have read and write acess on both machines and that didn't work either.
    My macbook that works perfectly with the hard drive is running snow leopard. the other macbook is running leopard. i'm not 100% certain what brand my external is but it says firewire800/usb2.0 on it.
    i appreciate any help i can get!

    Me compre un ipod classic de 160gb cada vez que trato de ponerle musica de mi disco duro externo solo copia hasta 1500 canciones y luego me congela el Itune  y no lo puedo cerrar, me pide que restaure el ipod como de fabrica, lo hago y nada.  Trato de cerrar el programa de itune y no me deja, trato de apagar el computador y no lo puedo apagar,  he buscado para ver si tiene errores  el disco del Ipod y me dice que esta bien.  Lo he restaurado como 8 veces y le he puesto musica y videos pero siempre me borra todo.  He aplastado Menu y Seleccion para entrar al sistemade diagnostic o del ipod y le pongo el test manual donde entro al IO y me dice q todo esta bien.  Le he dado ya varios Format directamente desde el Windows 7 y nada tampoco, siempre me borra todo desde que pasan mas de 1300 canciones y me congeal todo el equipo.  Ya no se que pensar de esta compania Apple porque no da ninguna solucion ha este tema.
    I bought a 160gb iPod classic every time I try to put music on my external hard drive only copy up to 1500 songs and then freezes Itune me and I can not close, asks me to restore the ipod as factory, and do nothing . I try to close the program and itune will not let me, I try to turn off the computer and I can not shut, I looked to see if the iPod disk errors and says it's okay. I restored it about 8 times and I've put music and videos but I always delete everything. I crushed and Selection Menu to enter diagnostic sistemade or ipod and I put the manual test where I enter the IO and q tells me everything is fine. I have already given several Format directly from the Windows 7 and anything either, I always delete everything from passing over 1300 songs and I congeal whole team. No longer have to think of this company because Apple gives no solution has this issue.

  • IMac stuck on start up - Shuts down after progress bar complete

    My iMac starts up, and immediately goes to a white screen with the apple logo and a progress bar starts.  The progress bar fills up and then the computer turns off.  My roommmate last used my computer and couldn't find the power button. He indicated to me he had to pull the monitor out far to find it. Could the connection to the back of the monitor have something to do with this problem?

    No.
    Try a SMC and PRAM reset, do each about 3 times. However before doing this ensure the power cable is firmly plugged into the back of the iMac and to the plug. If you have not done these resets before  please click the link below for instructions.

  • My iphone 4s keeps trying to shut down (the red bar keeps popping up) and I can only call using speaker or having headphones in.

    I have no idea what is wrong with my iphone.  Just this morning it started to constantly try and power down as if I keep pressing the power button on top which I am not doing.  Also I talk on a call or hear a call unless i have my headphones in or it is on speaker phone.  Also the very top right corner of my screen it a tad warped.  I did not drop it and it didn't get wet so I have no idea what is going on. What is wrong with my phone?

    Your device needs service.  Something is causing the Sleep/Wake button to act like it is constantly being pressed.
    If within warranty, and solong as Apple determines there is no user/accidental damage to the device, it should be free.
    Otherwise, it will ocst $199 for an iPhone 4S out-of-warrantry replacement.

  • Computer said start up disk is almost full a few days ago and now the locked files are gone or something like that. All I have is the pink and purple space screen and nothing else.

    I can't get to any of my files. All there is is the blank screen with the pink/purple space photo. The dock won't come up. There is nothing. What can I do? All my pictures from the last 5 years are on this computer. It is five years old.

    I unplugged the computer and plugged it back in. It says "Your startup disk is full. You need to make more space available on your startup disk by deleting files." How do I do this when I can't access anything?
