Running osx 10.3.9/FF 2.0/Lost tabs using Charamel & Silvermal 1.4.1. had to go back to 1.3.6.
i have an older mac. the highest i can run is osx 10.3.9 (Panther) w/ FF 2.0 When I updated the Charamel & Silvermal Themes (1.4.1) I the tabs wouldn't show. After troubleshooting I uninstalled them and reinstalled the 1.3.6 versions. I regained the tabs by doing that. This is the first time this has happened. When I updated to the 1.3.6 version from the previous one this didn't happen.
In addition to Brie Fly's good advice, make sure your hard drive has enough available space on it before launching the library upgrade process. To be safe, you should have enough disk space available to accommodate an entirely new copy of your present iPhoto Library folder in addition to the existing one, plus at least 10% of the disk's total capacity for the operating system's own use. So for example, if you have a 40GB hard drive and an 8GB iphoto Library folder, you should have a minimum of 8GB plus 4GB = 12GB of available space on your hard drive. If you don't, it may not be possible for iP 6 to upgrade your library.
You may get more specific advice in the iP 6 forums about how much free space the upgrade process absolutely requires — I've tried to err on the side of safety in my suggestion.

I have an Intel iMac running OSX 10.6.8. I would like to use Final Cut Pro 10.1. I know I need OSX 10.9 for this. Can I run both 10.6.8 and 10.9 on the iMac ? I do not want to convert completely to 10.9 because of my existing software. Thanks for any help
It would depend on how old your IMac is, how mush memory you have, it it can be upgraded by OWC, etc. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro and would NOT put Mavericks on it or espeacially FCP 10.1.1 on it because the most memory it can have is 4 GB. You need at least 8 GB to work with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. IMHO.
I would try to find a copy of Final Cut Express perhaps.
Does this answer your question? -

Using os9 on a laptop running OSX?
Hi Guys,
I'm new to Macs so if I saay something stupid, just slap me.
I have a Clamshell 366 running OSX Panther but a prog I am trying to use (an external hard drive gizmo) requires OS 9.
When I tried to install the software, I got a message saying that there was no OS9 on my system.
So, does that mean I have to buy a copy of OS9 and install that on my clamshell.
If I do that, will I overwrite the OSX?
Is there another way?
Thanks,
SteveHi, Steve -
OSX and OS 9 are designed to cohabit the same volume - neither will overwrite the other.
OS 9 (versions OS 9.1 and later) can be used within OSX as Classic - in that mode OS 9 is used as a program (not as an operating system) in order to provide an environment in which many OS 9 programs can be run.
I assume by Clamshell 366 you mean an iBook 366MHz machine - that description can be either an original iBook, or an iBook (FireWire) model.
Your machine can use OS 9 as a stand-alone OS. If it is an original iBook (which came with OS 8.6), it can use any version of OS 9. If it is an iBook (FireWire) model (which came with OS 9.0.4), it can use a model-specific OS 9.0.4 Install CD or a retail OS 9.1 or 9.2.1 Install CD.
Retail OSX packages do not include any provisions to install Classic (OS 9). You will need to acquire an OS 9 Install CD of adequate version, boot to it and install OS 9, then update it as needed via download updaters. I suggest acquiring a retail OS 9.1 or 9.2.1 Install CD - not only will that save on time when installing download updaters, but those CDs have current versions of OS 9's Disk First Aid and Drive Setup utilities. Provided that the device you wish to attach is compatible with OS 9.2.x, I'd suggest an OS 9.2.1 Install CD as the best choice.
You can usually get retail OS 9 Install CD's at sites like these -
http://store.yahoo.com/hardcoremac/index.html - Apple Reseller
http://www.applerescue.com/
EBay is another possibility.
Regardless of the source, be sure to get a retail OS 9 Install CD - those are white, with a large gold 9 on them; the retail OS 9 Install CD's have a universal installer; model-specific Install CD's do not.
In case you need the updaters -

Article #120030 - Mac OS 9.2.1 - Download and Info
Article #75186 - Mac OS 9.2.2 - Download and Info
<hr>
There can be some issues when installing OS 9 on a drive already occupied by OSX.
• The OS 9 installer may return a message to the effect that there is an unknown version of OS 9 already present. That message results from the installer mistaking a stadard OSX folder as being a peculiar OS 9 System Folder - it is not, but the OS 9 installer is not savvy enough to know that. The solution is to do a Clean Install of OS 9. Note that a Clean Install of OS 9 removes nothing -
Article #58176 - Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9: Performing a Clean Installation
• If the hard drive is not visible on the desktop when you boot the machine to the OS 9 Install CD, that would indicate that the hard drive was probably last formatted using OSX's Disk Utility, and the option to install OS 9 drivers was not selected. In the absence of those drivers no OS 9 can mount the drive. This Apple KBase article addresses that issue -
Article #106849 - Disk Is Available in Mac OS X But Not in Mac OS 9
That article mentions one possibility of recovery without re-formatting the drive - while booted to the OS 9 Install CD, run Drive Setup (it's in the Utilities folder on the CD), select the drive in the list, then choose Update Driver from the Functions menu. This is a non-destructive function, i.e. it will not erase the drive.
Most of the time that does not work, and the only recourse then is to re-initialize the drive; if that is done using OSX's Disk Utility, be sure the option to install OS 9 drivers is selected. Note - doing this will erase everything on the drive, so be sure you have backed up everythig you do not want to lose before doing it.
<hr>
There are work-arounds if you do not need a bootable OS 9 install, that is if you need it only for use as Classic.
Unlike OSX, an OS 9 System Folder can be copied via a simple Finder copy process and retain its functionality. This means you may be able to copy an OS 9 System Folder (of adequate version) from another source, and use it as Classic.
Some folk have found that copying the OS 9 System Folder from an OS 9 Install CD is sufficient. Note, though, that that System Folder has a very limited assortment of control panels and extensions, and many services will not be available.
Another possible source is an OS 9 Syatem Folder on another machine. Provided that it was a complete install of OS 9, better results are usually obtained.
Note - since a copied System Folder from a CD will not be bootable, nor will one from another machine (unless it was specifically created as a universal install), then download updates for OS 9 will not be usable to up the version of that copied System Folder (the installers on all OS 9 download updates require the machine be booted to OS 9). -
I have a late 2012 iMac with an I5 precessor running OSX 10.8.5 and a 1tb internal hard drive. I keep losing access to the internal hard drive/startup disk.
I can reboot and everything operates as normal for a few minutes or hours but then I lose all access again to anything on the hard drive. The computer is still up and running but no files can be accessed and certain websites cannot be acessed even though internet access appears to be normal. Disk utility can only find permission errors related to iTunes which can be repaired only to come back at the next scan (I would not think permission errors would have anything to do with the hard drive crashing). It does not seem to matter what program I am using at the time access is lost and it can lose access sometimes right after reboot when no program is running.You will need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during restart and select it) to run Disk Utility/Disk Repair.

My mid 2010 Macbook pro running OSX 10.8.4 sd card reader will not work
I have a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 model running OSX 10.8.4. I don't use the card reader very often so I can't tell you the last time it worked, but I have used it a few times without issue. (probably not for at least a year though)
I searched the forums and it seems this was an older problem with lots of suggested fixes. I tried blowing air through the slot and I also went looking for XQuartz but cannot find it under my utilities. (I assume it must be in the X11 category that is no longer supported under 10.8.4?)
I have tried putting it in all the way and pulling it out slightly as one person suggested and that also did not work.
Any ideas? For the first time in a long time I need the card slot and it doesn't feel like cooperating. LOL
edited to add that I am trying to access a Sony SDHC 32GB card model SF-32NX
Thanks in advance,
WayneIf you haven't already done so, eject the card by dragging its icon to the Eject icon in the Dock (where the Trash icon usually is.) Make sure the write-lock switch on the card is in the unlocked position. Then reinsert the card and test.
If there's no change, and the same happens with more than one card, the card reader is stuck in write-locked mode. I don't generally advise do-it-yourself hardware repair, but one ASC member managed to fix this problem. I haven't tried the fix myself and I can't offer any guidance beyond what's in that discussion. If you cause damage, don't expect your warranty to cover it. I suggest you instead make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store. -

Why does my macbook run so slow?? I am running OSX 10.8.4

What can i do to get my laptop back to fresh out the box performance???
This is getting irritating, since i need this laptop for school.First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
I have an IMAC and I'm running OSX 10.9.2. I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive. In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives. Is this possible? Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy. -
Again, I am on a 2011 MBP, running OSX 10.8.4, and I use VLC as my default player. I bought a Foscam FI8910W Pan&Tilt camera, which has 2-way audio capability through the browser. I have looked online and the only people who have this camera who can also use their audio functions are those individuals who are on a PC running IE. The Foscam website says to fix this issue I must download VLC player. I had VLC before I ever heard of Foscam. Still no audio. When I sign onto my IP camera by inputting the IP address, the user name, and the encryption password, I can then view the camera. At the bottom, it has a URL that says (audio). Clicking this does only one thing - it tells me that I need a plug in to have audio support. The plugin is the VLC player. So I am back at square one. Please help.
I just went to the IP address to access my camera's software; however, there is no mention of audio settings or anything called ADPCM. The included software (CD) does not work with 10.8 - a fact left out by the manufacturer

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.
