Recent upgrade using mac totally freezes - no menu to choose and doesn't respond to clicks or typing.

Just had FF4 update on Mac (OS 10.6). Upon opening, I can get first web page and that is all. After about 10 secs it freezes/ hangs. The menu disappears with the exception of the file menu. When I go to preferences section I can see the rest of the menus, but the moment I am done in preferences section the other menus disappears.
In addition, I can't open any new tabs or windows. Basically can't do anything and I am leaning towards reinstalling FF3.
What's gone wrong?

> The laptop is 6 months old, on warranty, with original software and I treat it gently (never fell etc). The nearest authorized service is way to far from my place and I can't be left without the computer right now (exams session). What can I do to check the laptop by myself (I don't mean dismantling, i'm a girl)? Maybe some software that I could run and it will report any errors? Any ideas what that sound was?
Such sound could be developed by different parts.
Generally its not easy to say whats wrong exactly.
In most cases we can only assume (like the user pyoc1_1 ) but this are only own, personal suggestions.
The strange sound could be developed by HDD or by cooling module.
Like Luke suggested, the HDD can be tested using the software Drive Fitness Test but the cooling modules can be tested just only by a Toshiba ASP.
I understand that the nearest ASP is far away but I think you should still contact the guys in order to get more details how to handle this issue. I mean the notebook is covered by warranty so everything should be done for free.
I would strongly recommend containing the ASP in your country.

I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I open my i photo library there are no pictures. The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.Scared to hit upgrade!!!

I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I opened i photo, it says the photo livrary needs to be upgraded to work with this version of I photo. Where are my pictures? The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of Iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete". I'm scared to upgrade!! Does this mean my photos can't be read once I upgrade? Where are my pictures?

First have you backed up your computer, if you have and your iPhoto library is in the back up you have nothing to be concerned about. If you are not using at least Time Machine to back up your system then you should be concerned because well frankly that is simply bad computing practice and you risking all of your data.
As for the message you received all that means is your system was using an earlier version of iPhoto with the version of OS X you previously had installed and now that you have updated to 10.9.2 (Mavericks) your version of iPhoto has also upgraded and needs to get ready to import all of your pictures. If you have backup then you should be confident the upgrade will go through smoothly, Apple generally has very good instructions and will not give bad advice, second guessing them may be cautious but is generally unnecessary.

I recently upgraded my Mac to Yosemite and I can't use the custom function (grayed out) in Image Trace Illustrator CS6 (physical version). Anyone else having this issue?

Custom will show automatically as soon as you just edit some options. So just go ahead, you don't need to select "custom"

Recently Upgraded to Mac 10.6.6. and I lost my CD extensions

I recently upgraded my Mac OS to 10.6.6 and lost my CD extensions. No music CDs, no DVDs, not even the Snow Leopard cd wil mount now. Any ideas where I can download the CD extensions?

Yes I've checked with Roxio and they are not offering an update to Popcorn 4.
If you can get hold of a version of iLife '11 including iDVD, it would serve you well. Roxio's flagship burning program Toast Titanium is extremely good as well, although not as flexable as iDVD IMHO.

You won't be able to buy Pages from the Mac App Store on 10.6.8. You need to reload it from the original source.

I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.8.1. I had an Epson Inkjet printer (Stylus C88 ) that had seen its better days. I purchased a refurbished model (C88+ ) to replace the old one, simple enough. Since I've done this before, I didn't think I had to install the CD. I have since discovered the CD isn't recognized on my computer and/or by this Mountain Lion system and that I had to go to Apple to upgrade the new driver for this product, and which I did, but I can't find the epson folder other than the attached. I just want to place an alias printer logo on my desktop but I can't find it anywhere. What to do???

Hi, one question & one suggestion...
What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work. What can I do??

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

EZ-under the Apple, then About this Mac, then "More info" . If you check somewhere on your mac you may find a serial number, but the first way works the best, I've found

I have recently upgraded my mac and ipad to IOS7 and find that Safari will not load onto my iPad. It just shuts down the app. Any ideas? I have been onto Mac who took me through a very long iPad robot, but the problem is still the same! Help appreciated

Do you mean that you did a soft-reset ?
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't fix it then try closing Safari via the iPad's multitaskingbar and see if it works when you re-open it :double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
After trying the above you could also do a soft-reset (even if this is what you've already done it might be worth trying after clearing Safari's cache and closing the app via the taskbar) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I have recently updated my macs software then been onto Photo Booth and realised that all of my pictures/videos have been deleted and are not in iPhoto? Im not sure where they have all gone?

PLEASE HELP

Photobooth and iPhoto are two quite different apps with no connection between them. I'd try the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.
