Does anyone know why ?

It's hidden. Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and supply that path to access it.

I have had a real problem after installing ML. In mail my archive files were tripled (exact copies), then when I tried to remove one set of the archives, they all disappeared taking all of my files with them. Any comments which could be useful would good

I have had a real problkem after installing ML. The archives in my MAIL tripled (exact copiesof the original files) and when I tried to delete the extra ones, all of my files disappeared. Is there any way that I can get them back as I need them for business?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I recently installed iTunes on my new HP laptop computer, authorized it according to the instructions, but now can't get past a screen that tells me that I need to authorize the computer. I purchased an album and it's in the library, but it won't sync.

I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone. The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On. This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

I have ordered a movie from Apple TV and found it would take 10 hours and 27 minutes to down load. How do I stop it, and reverse my order????

I have ordered a movie from Apple TV and found it would take 10 hours and 27 minutes to down load. How do I stop it, and reverse my order????

The problem is generally due to a slow internet connection.
AppleTV files are fixed size.
For SD you need 2.5Mbps, 720p HD 6 Mbps and 1080p 8 Mbps sustained speeds to view immediately.
If your internet delivers these speeds you should be able to play within seconds.
If slower AppleTV works out how long it will take do download the rental of say 3.5GB for a 720p movie, then subtracts the running time of the movie and whatever that figure is is how long it'll take to start.
So if a movie is 2 hours long and you have a fast connection and it calculates the movie could download in under 2 hours it'll play withing seconds.
If it thinks it'll take 4 hours to download, it'll subtract the running time of 2 hours and allow you to play in 2 hours time.
While this may not seem ideal the reason is that if it didn't precahce on a slow connection you would not be able to play a movie through without stopping and starting to cache the next section.
Unfortunately this is compounded by using the AppleTV for other things as this can reset the clock by flushing any of the rental cached.

I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens, but I get the error next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions?

I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
Thanks
Carol

The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

I can't seem to update my software, every time I do it says that there is a problem and to close everything that is open. Once I close everything it still doesn't work. How do I get it to complete?

Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk to install software updates...
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

My CS6 program that has never had a problem before, is not telling me that there is an error and that it "unexpectedly quit" when I simply try to launch the program. I have restarted my computer several times. It does the same thing each time. So then I tried uninstalling the program and re-installing. It said that it could not install due to an error. So I STILL can't launch my program. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. I have to edit photos for a photoshoot and return them tomorrow. :/

I paid for CC in October and now when I try to download 2014 I am told that I can only get trial versions. What can I do to re-install my account?

I have a copy of the invoice. How can I get it to you? My CC had been working just fine until I tried to upload the new 2014. I have uninstalled ALL of the 2014 version I had thinking I could re-install all of them but now I cannot even find my account.
I bought two packages. The other eMail address of my colleague who has the other version bought is <Removed by Moderator>
Right, now I no longer have ANY versions of CC and I need to get them back. Help.

I have a new computer and want to sync my iPhone's apps. when I tell it to do so it says that all apps in my phone will be replaced by the ones in iTunes, but it's empty because it's new. If I do so will all my apps be deleted?
