PSE 8 for MAC does not start

Hello,
I can not start PSE 8 on my MAC. The program starts but crashes after the welcome screen again.
I have an Intel Mac with Mac OS X version 10.6.2 Operation Build 10C540.
Thanks for your help

EyeTV: Mac does not start automatically

Mac does not start automatically for EyeTV recordings. I reinstalled EyeTV but it did not help.
Any help appreciated.
iMac i5, 2,7Ghz, OS X 10.7.4
Kind reagards,
Torsten

I have to same problem: Bought Elgato Sat 3 years ago. Now I decided to install it in the living room and bought a new i5 Mac mini. EyeTV works fine but does not wake up Mountain Lion 10.8.2 sometimes.
When I program wake up events manually via System Preferences or pmset command in the terminal, all works fine and my Mac wakes up. I tried everything, from clean reinstall to debugging AutoWake.plist and such.
Annoying!

Imac-- Upgrading elements 10 to elements 12. Did successful backup of 10. When restore to 12 message said the disk in drive My Passport for Mac does not contain a valid backup

IIMac doing upgrade of Elements 10 to Elementys 12. Did full backup of 10 on my external hard drive "MY Passport". Rec'd message backup successful. Did restore on 12 and rec'd message "The disk in drive My Passport for Mac does not contain a valid backup". Any help suggestions?

The funniest part of the whole situation, Apple Care explained it to me as some kind of feature. The told me how to adjust the time when my computer sleeps and recommend I don't shut it down, let it sleep and "instant wake". I would bet if you called them about your Macbook, they would suggest you just close the lid and let it sleep rather than shutting it down.
Basically shutdown and restart have a problem and the solution is to not shutdown is how they explained it to me. They kept saying buzz words like "instant on" and "fast wakeup". My computer already could sleep and wakeup fast, but now shutdown and restart don't work right. I called them 3 times about it, but since they use these buzzwords, sounds like Lion is meant for a Macbook Air or a Mac with an SSD. If you have a normal hard disk, some of the saving/versions/resume features take too long to be written to the disk on shutdown. And when you start again, it takes a long time to reload the system to it's previous point.
Even if I uncheck the box to reopen windows on next start, it reopens them anyways.
If they can't give me a better explaination or some kind of fix, I will have to go back to Snow Leopard. I use my Mac in a production environment and depend on stability. They assured me before I upgraded that it would be stable and all the new saving and versions features could help my productivity. So far it's not helping me and downright annoying. You need to close all your windows before you close the program... if you have 5 windows open in terminal or textedit... every time you launch, they will launch all those windows. I just really want versions, not resume it seems.
But I can deal with it opening a million windows, just can't take it getting stuck on booting or not shutting down properly. This is a "feature" that should be fixed. LOL

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

My Intel Mac does not start.

My Intel Mac does not start. When I turn it on I hear a loud beep (a sound I never heard before) and then I see the spinning wheel and nothing else. I tried to start from the installation disc, I also try to reset the SMC and the PRAM. Nothing worked. I replaced the RAM cards too. It is a IMac 24"/2 Intel. Model number A1200 2006.

When I turn it on I hear a loud beep
Beeps are an indication the RAM (memory) is failing or has failed.
Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2
If you feel confident doing this, you can purchase RAM online. Crucial comes highly recommended. You can use their scanner > Memory upgrades from Crucial.com - Crucial Mac System Scanner
And uninstall the bad RAM, then reinstall new > iMac: How to remove or install memory
Or, take your Mac to an Apple Store.
The beep sound is not permissions related.

My I Mac does not start properly without pressing option and apple keys ,and it freezes

My I Mac does not start properly without pressing option and apple keys ,and it freezes

Try any of the following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

My outlook for MAC does not upload emails unless I hit send/receive. This is even when I leave it open for period of time. I want it to upload anytime a email comes. How?

My Outlook for Mac does not upload emails unless I hit send/receive even though it is left open. How do I change the schedule?

Outlook is a Microsoft product, there is a forum specifically for Office for Mac's at:

My recommendation would be to repost there.

Mac does not start is asking me to reboot from back up

My Mac is not starting and is asking me to reboot from the time machine however it is showing me that the latest complete backup is form September. Should I reboot from there and once I am in I will be able to rescue latest backups or should I re-install the OS? If I re-install the OS will I loose everything or will things still be there, including folders that were loose in the desktop as opposed to being inside the hard drive?

Time Machine is not bootable.
Is it asking you to Restore from Time Machine?
Re-installing the OS X on top of what you have will preserve all files, photos, documents, settings, bookmarks, history etc this includes items on your Desktop.
Recovery http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
From Recovery you can also run the Disk Utility>Repair Disk to see if there is a problem, this may sidestep the need to Restore.

Taking Z1 back to shops!! going back to Apple: Sony Bridge for Mac does not work

Been an Iphone owner. really, really wanted to try a good android phone, and the z1 looked the best. However
I have had the most frustrating experience- this junky bridge software looks slick but it simply does not work on a mac .
I have spent nearly a week mucking around on forums, reading technical 'get arounds' this is a £600 phone and its not good enough. It might be Apples fault for being so locked down, but sony should not claim it works when it has so many issues.
1) it spent 3 days trying to load my media. It eventually got stuck on 10 min remaining. I pulled the cable.
no contacts had even been added, however 1/2 the photos have, but they are a little jumbled up from when they were on my iphone.
2) i try to download the lastest sony for Mac update 3 times- it cant even do this and gets stuck
3) i then try to update the z1 with the latest software, again this also it gets stuck and hangs. OMG how can i update my software, do i have to buy a PC to go with the phone.
im annoyed now and cant play with my new phone
4) connect phone again and just ask it to do my notes, messages and contacts. This seems to work , but all the messages to my Girfriend are completley missing?? why?
5) i try to load a few folders, the pictures on the bridge pop up window seem to freeze , ai cant even drag these across, the same happens with my music
6) i have a lot of photos on my mac form my iphone 3000. If i choose to load them it only allows me to load all of them and not browse.
can i avoid bridge and view my z1 as a drive? also why wont any of the software update?
the next thing is it seems to have infected teh mac, the new version f itunes will not install correctly!! this is very unusual.
some one please helpme before i rant in my blog!

Hi Inventsc,
I apologize for the late answer. I'm sorry you haven't had a pleasant experience using Bridge. We are aware of the problems you mention and are working on it. As mentioned, you can connect your phone in MSC (mass storage mode). To do this, disconnect the phone, find USB connectivity settings and set it to MSC mode before plugging it in again.
Again, I am sorry it's not working properly for you.
Best Regards,
David

Firefox desktop for mac does not save history

Using firefox desktop for mac. Recently it stopped saving my history. Forward and back buttons still work, typing something in the address window will make it pull up places I've visited in the past, but only ones I visited two or three weeks ago. Nothing recent. "Show all history" brings up the window, but there is nothing in it."
Private browsing is not enabled. I have enabled "remember my browsing and download history."
Another answer suggested I might have an anti virus or something that is disabling history. I looked, but I don't have anything doing that. Safari and Chrome are both saving their histories normally.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The "places maintenance" add on found that something had become corrupted. It had me restart, and it was replaced. Working fine now. Thanks.

Face Time for mac does not show contacts window or allow me to sign in

My Facetime for Mac launches but does not show me my Contacts sidebar or allow me to 'Sign In'. Preferences is grayed out as well.
It works under a new user account (System Preferences > Accounts). I added a contact into the blank address book to test it out. I'm troubleshooting it right now to get it to work under my account, I think it has something to do with not fully accessing the keychain.
The tell-tell sign for me is when I launch FaceTime for Mac the preview window does not show immediately. I have to click on the app a second time for the window to appear. This does not happen under the new account
I have already:
- Restarted
- Removed preferences and Caches
- Re-installed Face Time
- Repaired and reset keychains
- Signed in under a different MobileMe account in System Preferences
Any other suggestions

SOLVED !!
After many, many more steps and close to total ruin of my MobileMe sync structure, I have the found the hidden files to remove that solved my problem.
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist temp
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .6Va7JFn [+these letters may be than different yours+]
Logged out, then back in again
When I launched Facetime it worked exactly as it does on my test user account.
here are the terminal commands to try for your solution
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
ls -A [+To get the letters for the third file+]
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ temp
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ .[+your letters+]
Please Post any problems you run into or if it doesn't work.

LATEST DESKTOP MANAGER FOR MAC DOES NOT WORK!!!

I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and an iMac running 10.6.4 with the latest Blackberry Desktop for Mac (v1.0.4 build 10) that just came out August 2010 and it will NOT allow me to update the handheld software either. It is for a different reason. It says I don't have enough memory on my handheld, but that does not make any sense since I have totally wiped my handheld.
Is RIM every going to figure this software out?? Years in the making and they still can't get a functioning software app for the Mac !

BB desktop for Mac Does not work Curve and G5 OSX 10.5

The RIM software simply does not work very well. I will keep it to update software, but as a product to sync my data between my BB and my 2 macs, it simply does not do what is needed.
Sync did not move the Address Book groups data over. The groups moved to the BB, but the groups were empty. Most of the address book contacts did have the group information in each file, but I could not filter by group as each group was empty. Also, a disturbing number of entries were duplicated, with the duplicated entries missing the group information.
The sync from the iCal application did not seem to go very well either as I received error messages on my Mac.
I am disappointed that RIM would not have a 32 bit version available for OS 10.2 - 10.5 and a 64 bit version for 10.6
I am surprised and disappointed that RIM would release a product with less functionality than the Mark/Space offering, and have a lack of bluetooth syncing.
I have gone back to "The Missing Sync" as that product does work and their support is very good. Unfortunately I had to play around with setting up a test account with no data in iCal and Address Book to zero out the errors that the RIM product put into my BB. I then had to do a second overwrite, this time with my main Mac account and my iCal and Address Book data.
My BB is back to running and syncing, but not on the RIM software.
I hope that RIM will revisit the Mac software and provide a product that answers the needs of the Mac community.
