TS3926 When I go to my Partition tab, there is no blue section, and it will not let me select anything, and says I cannot erase my startup disc. Other suggestions?

I'm trying to download Mavericks on my 2007 imac version 10.6.8. When I attempted to, it said "Install Failed: OS X could not be installed on your computer. OS X can't be installed on the disk because a recovery system can't be created. Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more" I've tried other discussions and they say you must erase your disc, but I want to make sure I have a back up of version 10.6.8 first. I'm not sure where my CD ROMs are that came with the computer to download the start up disc. This forum suggested changing the partition manually in the Disc Utility, but when I went there, there was no partition to change. Any thoughts? Do I just have to hunt down my start up disc download? Is there a way to download Disc Recovery???

Go into your system profiler and tell us your Machine Identifier that says:
iMac x,y (give us the x and y values)
That will tell us whether you are Mavericks compatible or not.
Also tell us how much RAM you have installed.

  • When i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add some security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

    when i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add three security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

    Thanks Liam. After the second ap download it asked me three security questions on iTunes and on my MAC it allowed me to set up these with no error on the third question. iPAD 3 now downloads apps fine.
    Apple really need to sort out this issue or provide guidance on this. Two days of the unit not really being fit for purpose - what use is an IPAD without the ability to download aps.
    Also NO Response from Apple via online tech support and it's now been nearly 24 hours - I was told by telephone support I would get a response within 24 hours or less, as also stated in the email response too!??
    It would be good to get a formal response from Apple on this rather than radio silence.

  • Hi i am currently editing clips in premiere pro cc but everytime i go to change the speed not the duration of a clip it will not let me select it - also when i go to effect controls it will not let me select time mapping? please help

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
    Please review the following that I excerpted from an older post here regarding Adobe's PRE_help comments about Hollywood Effect and mention of
    Red Noir. Does any of the following apply to any of what is happening to you.
    - Whenever I try to add an effect from the Hollywood Looks menu, it brings up a warning that all my previous effects on that clip will be deleted. However it will let me add those same effects *after* applying Hollywood Looks.
    This is because of how the Hollywood Looks are designed to be used. Since these are effect presets (multiple effects in combination) that result in a specific "look"; they are best applied in isolation. If any previous effect is applied and we still allow a Hollywood effect to be applied, we will not be able to see what the effect does clearly. For e.g. if you already have a Gaussian Blur effect applied to your clip, and then we allow you to apply the "Red Noir" Hollywood effect, the fact that the "Reds" in the scenes will be highlighted and the others converted to B/W will not be clearly seen since the content is already blurred out. So any previously applied effects was designed to be removed. This holds good even if you apply a Hollywood look "on top of" another one. The previous one will be replaced. Having said that, you can customize the look further by either tweaking an already applied filter or by adding a newer effect on top. That is the reason you can apply an effect on top of the Hollywood Effects and not vice versa.
    Please review and consider and then we can proceed from there if necessary.

  • HT1212 My Ipod is reading Ipod diabled connect to itunes but when i connect it tells me it has a passcode and will not let me do anything

    My ipod reads Ipod disabled connect to itunes. When i connect to itunes a box appears on the computor screen and will not access the ipod and says it has a passcode and will not let me try to enter a passcode into the ipod? What can I do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • My iPod Touch 4G facetime with my specific iPhone 4 only works when I restore from an Apple Store...my PC (XP) iTune Restore will not let my iPod facetime (10 seconds connecting then hangs up)...all other device like my iPads can connect to my iPod...

    So, I have an iPhone4 iOS 4.3.2 restored from Apple Store iTunes. I also have an iPod Touch 4G iOS 4.3.2. These two devices can facetime other Apple products, but not each other.
    So when I discovered this, I restored both at the Apple Store iTunes and they worked for the first time!! The Genius Bar guys told me to just set my iPod as New Device to my PC then manual sync it. I deleted all my iPod backup from this one since they are all from fresh restore.
    I did as directed. iPod does not want to connect facetime to my iPhone. I tried uninstall and reinstall my iTunes to the newest version. Still not working after a full restore. My PC is XP Service Pack 2 with Japanese setting. I wonder if my PC iTunes has to do with anything or my iTunes account...

    This is the iPhone forum
    That said... PhotoStream is a stream of photos. The contents of the PhotoStream are not part of the backup. PhotoStream will hold the last 30 days of photos on-line. After 30 days, the photos are deleted from the servers. If they have already been downloaded from the cloud and appear on a device, they will remain there. However... if the device is wiped, restored, etc. or PhotoStream on the device is turned off then back on, ONLY the photos still resident in the cloud will download.
    If the photos were over 30 days old, they are no longer in the cloud. If you didn't have them backed up elsewhere, they are gone.

  • When I try to run a FindChangeByList.jsx in InDesignCS4, it will not let me select a txt file

    Hi all,
    I have a 100 page document that uses two javascript FindChange queries to cleanup an imported XML file. I've been using the same cleanup files for years and they have worked just fine. (I still only open it in CS4 because I've had some issues when trying to use this XML/Find-Change combo in CS5 and 6.) The only difference is my computer has been upgraded, the apps reinstalled, and I am now running 10.9.5
    I can import the XML just fine into my template, but when I double click on FindChangeByList.jsx, select Document, hit OK, nothing happens. I do not get a second dialog box asking me to choose my txt cleanup file.
    I only run this job once a year, so it's possible I am doing something wrong. I've place copies of my txt files in as many scripts folders as I can find on my computer, but they are greyed out in the FIndChange Support folder within InDesign.
    Please help, this is the only way to fix this XML!

    Hi,
    2 things:
    1. Assuming your script is original - it is not asking for a TXT file till it is found in expected location. You can choose between 2 solutions:
         to remove FindChangeList.txt from FindChangeSupport folder ==> script will ask for another file
         to override this file by your query ==> script will not ask but execute your query
    2. You can see greyed TXT files in Script Panel since this panel shows executable files (script's formats)

  • When i got to download multiple images (only in firefox), it will not let me select more than one at a time. Wondering if anyone knows how to fix this.

    I will hold select, control or try to select all and none of the above work. It does in explorer

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I can access the "Firefox Prefereences", but when the "about:preferences" starts, it will not let you access anything except the "General" tab.

    All of the other "tabs" show up on the tab menu, but when you click on them, only the "General" tab will be there. You can make changes to the items in the "General" tab, but nothing else. I am using a HP Pavillion dv7 laptop, running Ubuntu 13.10, and Firefox 29. This only started with version 29. Before everything worked.

    Works for me on Linux.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • When I try to download Firefox for Windows, it unzips the file and says it cannot find 7-Zip file and stops download

    I have windows 7 on a desktop. I had firefox before which worked fine then I attached a router to my computer that may have been defective and may have damaged the computer. I took the router off. Firefox suddenly reverted back to the start up page of when you are new to firefox, e.g. here's how it works, and stopped loading my normal home page. Even though I entered the tabs I wanted for my startup home page every time I shut down my computer it went back to the beginning thinking I had only just loaded it. I did lots of system diagnostics but nothing appeared to be wrong with my computer so I uninstalled Firefox, restarted, then downloaded it again. When I download it, it says run or save and I choose run. Then it extracts the file and a message comes up that says "7-Zip. Cannot find file. Then nothing more happens. No files are downloaded to my computer and it's as though I never tried to download it.

    SAVE the installer to your hard drive (do not use the "Run" option); save it to your Desktop so that you can find it. When the download is complete, close whatever browser you have open, click or double-click the file you downloaded and see if it installs without a problem.
    The downloader is a self-extracting archive and should not need or use 7-zip. I have 7-zip installed on my system and it does not interfere with nor is it used in the Firefox install process. Hopefully, you have not set the downloading of .exe files to be associated with 7-zip.

    After downloading the new IOS for Ipad I cannot use Words for Friends from Ipad.  I uninstalled it but when I try to reinstall it pops up with "item you wish to buy is no longer available". 

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4. when I click the shortcut it placed, a explorer.exe box opens and says it cannot be accessed because I do not have the right permissions. I was upgrading from Firefox3.

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811905''
    I'm running Windows 7 with Nortton 360.

    if you are in a company, ask your network admin. if this is your own computer in your home, get the administrator previledge, ask yourself who installed the win7, ask him/her for the administrator account, use that account to login and install firefox.

  • Ever since the upgrade, my computer will not let me pick a new tab. I can't hit the plus or ask for a tab. How do I correct this??????

    Ever since the firefox did an automatic update, it will not let me select a new tab. I can't hit the plus sign or even if I click on New tab..it will Not work. If you right click on something and say open in new tab it will but it WILL NOT let me open a new blank tab to search in since the update.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
