Two problems after i installed and retore my powerbook

Hi guys,
Two issues still remain in my powerbook after i restored my old setting from my back up drive to my new internal HD...
1. Well, after several attempt to get my powerbook to sleep probably, zapped the PRAM and i think i have resetted PMU as well. I have upgraded to OS 10.4.9. Still my powerbook doesn't sleep accoring to the setup in the system preference. Anyone can suggest me something else to do?
2. For some reasons now when i am using dial up to connect to the internet, the system just keep displaying connecting to the internet while the connection is established. Took me a while to realized that cuz i thought something happened to the modem. When i opened the "internet connect" in the summary, it still says contacting PPP server. Why is this? the system didn't detect any internet connection from the dial up yet i am able to access the internet. The system was able to detect my office's LAN, but why not dial up?
From the look of these symptoms, does this mean my OS is not stable now? Everything else runs ok though...

Problems After Re-Installing And Archive

After having a problem with a couple of applications in Final Cut Studio(Primarily Compressor), it was suggested to re-install Tiger and and archive, as that worked for others. Now, every other start up, the screen shows the multi-language "Welcome" at the beginning of configuring a new installation. When I get the reular start up, it says "Transport Monitor Application Did Not Launch Because Of Shared Library Error." Do I need to find the old system and toss it? It would be nice to find out what's going on before trying another installation. Any help is appreciated.

Transport Monitor is a login item that is normally found in the /Library/Palm/ folder. The contents of the /Library/ folder are not transferred during an Archive and Install. They must be moved manually from the Previous System Folder. If you are no longer using Palm software then open the Accounts preferences, click on Login Items tab, and delete the Transport Monitor item from the list.

Can't open itunes,even after un-installing and then re-installing!

I keep getting the following error message when trying to open itunes on my pc.
'The folder "itunes" cannot be found or created, and is required.The default location for this folder is inside the "my music" folder.'
This error message appeared even after un-installing and re-installing itunes.
I conducted a search for the 'my music' folder,and it came up with nothing.
Please help!

If you truly don't have a folder named C/......./My Music, there are bigger problems with that PC.
That folder is a default windows XP folder and should be there.
The file extensions setting is easy to change. Win Explorer > Tools > Folder options
http://www.fileinfo.com/help/windows-show-extensions.html
If your music folder really doesn't exist, see if you can do the shift-start and CREATE a new library. It will be blank, but at least that will tell us if itunes can even start. It will NOT run without an ITL library file.

It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating

I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating

PhotoStream is purely a conduit for transferring pictures added to or taken on one device onto all the others seamlessly. Photos are held there only for 30 days. There is no way of accessing, viewing or deleting individual photos; you can reset the entire Photostream, erasing everything.

My Late 2009 27" iMac i7 wake up problems after LION installed

About 5 or 6X, My iMac has had wake up problems after I installed LION. The screen wakes but the trackpad or mouse are frozen. I have to do a hard shut down (pressing the power button) for system to work correctly. When I power on the Mac, then everything functions. NEVER had this issue with Safari!

Exatly the same problem here with Lion on iMac 27" C2D late 2009.

No Battery Charge and Other Problems After OS3 Install - Solution?

This relates ONLY to iPhone Users using the "PUSH" Function for Email or Other Apps!
PROBLEM: It seems as though Apple is at least aware of the problem(s), i.e. once Exchange Email or another App using PUSH is configured, there is an OS3 bug that seems to be hardware independent (impacting ALL 1G, 2G and GS iPhones, but not consistently).
SYMPTOMS: Include some or all of the following . . . rapid discharge (less than two hours from a fully charged phone, failure to charge (by AC adapter or USB to computer), failure to charge completely, perpetual dead battery icon, inability to boot, inability to automatically sleep, quite warm on upper back side, slow email, indication of a full or partially full charge dropping to no charge or dead when removed from charging source.
CAUSE: OS3 Bug prevents consistent charging, draining the battery even when plugged in to a computer via the USB or into an A/C adapter (although I've been able to intermittently charge on an A/C adapter). In push mode, the Exchange email client on the iPhone continually queries the Exchange Server, cycling the iPhone CPU and continually draining the battery at a high rate (can
WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY APPLE:
1) Defective Hardware (though I'm on my third 3G in a week, so I don't think hardware is the problem . . . Apple will consider replacement with a new 3G if my third 3G has the same problem)
2) Corrupted App in iTunes - so I manually reloaded each app directly over wi-fi, one app at a time, this worked until I configured Exchange Email, at which time symptoms immediately appeared . . . so corrupted app unlikely.
3) Initial data transfer after email configuration . . . but symptoms continued long after this.
4) Wi-Fi - but turning wi-fi on or off had little effect, beyond normal.
5) Restore to New Phone - this works fine UNTIL Exchange Email is configured and activated. Thus, the time consuming practice of reload all apps, photos, music, etc. will be for naught, once exchange email is turned on with "push"
SOLUTION: Turning off "push" on your exchange email account
1) Go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Fetch New Data
2) Set Fetch Setting to 15 minutes to approximate the much more frequent "push" uploads and downloads. NOTE: Turning off \"push\" at this level will NOT turn off push on your exchange email account and the problem will not be resolved
3) Scroll down and select - Advanced -
4) Identify and select your Exchange Server account
5) Select - Fetch -
6) Leave settings
Phone should cool down in a few minutes and work normally. The problem can be replicated and resolved repeatedly merely by toggling "push" on and off in your exchange email configuration.
I was told that this is likely to be the "fix" until a patch is issued. No time frame was given for an actual fix that allows Exchange users to use push technology. Disappointing, since broader use of "push" technology beyond exchange was one of the big benefits of OS 3.0.
NOTE: THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ON ALL iPHONES WITH OS3 USING THE EXCHANGE CLIENT. I have second 3G phone, identically configured (including push to exchange email) that has no symptoms at all. Go figure.

Since two days ago, my battery indicator has been indicating 100% until the phone dies, which seems to be one of the symptoms you're describing.
However, I don't use Push emails; my email client is configured to poll an imap server and has been that way since I got my phone over 6 months ago. To be on the safe side, I turned off Push anyway, but I'm still having the problem. Definitely 3.0 related as I've never had this problem before.
Perhaps it's linked to an app? Personally I don't have a whole lot of them installed: Aurora Feint, fstream, twitterific, flixster, wikipanion, google earth, urbanspoon, STM Mobile, iDicto, Air Sharing, Facebook and Apple Remote. I've removed a few and will see how it goes.

Problems after an "erase and install"

Hi,
I recently had problems with my mac and i needed to do an "erase and install" with the original Mac OS cd. Perhaps, before loosing all of my data, i saved it on an other macbook.
When i re-install my Mac Os software and all of my data (pictures included) i've just realize that i've lost the software iphoto 8 that came originaly with my computer.
When i bought the computer about a year ago, there was no cd of iLife or the iPhoto software with it.
How can I have iPhoto back?
Thanks
Fred

Fred
It's on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Opt to install "Bundled Applications Only".

Two problems with video: Import and gamma

I downloaded and tried LR4 today and found the new adjustment features quite impressive. I was also very eager to try the new video facilities. Woudl have loved to...
Running on iMAC with Lion, pictures and video from a Pentax K5. Video is full HD @25fps. Never had any problems in LR3.6 with importing or cataloging my videos.
When I tried to import already downloaded photos and videos two things happend:
First, some of the videos are not in their "correct" position in grid view, while others are correct. In finder date and filename are correct.
Second and more complicated, videos are completely off in colors and play with interruptions. I attached of few screen shots of what it looks like in LR3.6 and LR4.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joachim
p.s. just tried direct import from camera, with the same effect, at least regarding colors and slow video replay.

Thanks,
did not get a PM yet. After trying with several other sources I finally found the "mistake" after installing and trying LR4 on my MBP. The reason for the color shift is that I switched on the development preset Auto tone, which for video gives this crazy results. Other presets work just fine, even giving a warning that some of the adjustments might not apply in video. Auto Tone and the video is off.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Joachim

Firefox won't open after re-installing and can't remove from control panel. What do I do?

After a storm and short power failure, I started having trouble with certain sites loading, and pages moving slower. I emptied my cache and defragged and ran total virus/ malware scan, but still had problem. (Pages loaded fine on AOL) I decided to uninstall Firefox and re-install to help fix problem. I did this, and now Firefox won't open, no matter if I double click, right click (open), or go through "all programs". I tried to uninstall and re-install again, but now I can't get it to respond through my control panel, either.

Try the procedures in the [[Firefox will not start]] article.

IPhoto won't open after new install and restore of back-up

Hi guys
My hard drive just died (for the second time in 6 months!) so I have just gotten the computer back with a new drive. I did a new install of Tiger from my original install CDs, did the download thing to get all the updates, and ran a "restore" from my external drive using iBackup (http://www.grapefruit.ch/iBackup//index.html) to restore all my previous system settings, documents, etc. So far this seems to have worked well, a couple of 3rd party applications didn't re-install - specifically Neo Office and WiFind - but I was able to manually install those and everything seems to be working fine.
Except iPhoto. It won't open. When I click the dock icon it bounces once and does nothing. No little arrow under it or anything. Nothing at all happens when I click the icon in Finder (in the Applications folder). When I searched it in spotlight it told me there was a file called iphoto.crash.log, so I went and had a look at that hoping it would tell me the problem, but I don't understand it. I'm not particularly good at the behind the scenes stuff with computers.
Wondering what I should do now - if someone can perhaps interpret the log file and find the issue if that would help, or if I should uninstall and re-install iPhoto by itself (and if so, how?), or if there is something else that may be causing the issue. I noticed there are a few files relating to it when I search with spotlight but I don't know which of them might be relevant. I could post a screenshot if that is allowed, or post the log file if it would help?
Thanks in advance for any advice or help!
Regards,
Chloë

400 Updates???
Did you Repair Permissions before & after each one?
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Would it still be possible to retrieve encrypted files from a Mac OS X 10.8.5 after clean install and performing command p and r?

I'm just wondering, if it would still be possible to retrieve encrypted files (such as home folders using legacy filevault) from Mac OS X 10.8.5 after clean install of new OS and performing command-p and -r during bootup? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something to know. All of these tools have two things in common:
1) You must have another drive to save the recovered data to. You cannot save it back to the same partition you are recovering from since doing so could overwrite data you are trying to save.
2) They take forever to complete. In Windows, a deleted file or folder simply has a flag changed on its entry in the file table so the OS knows the space it used to occupy is free to use for other data. To unerase, the software simply changes the flag back to "live". That's why they work so easily and fast in Windows. How long an item has been marked as erased determines whether or not the space it sat on has since been used by new data.
On a Unix system (which OS X sits on top of), deleted data has its file table entry removed. The only way then to find deleted data is to scour the entire drive for BOF (beginning of file) markers and reading the data of each one it finds to its EOF (end of file) marker.
So be prepared to wait for hours for a search to complete. It could take more than a day for a terabyte or larger drive. It also doesn't help that recovered data rarely has any of the original names.
Edit: Also, did you do a simple erase of the drive, or a zero write erase? If the latter, your chances of recovering anything is virtually nil.

Slow MBP after Yosemite install and other concerns

Hi
There are a few discussions on this topic, they did not help due to the fact that I have no clue what to do or if I even have a problem.
The problem:
My MBP is slower after I installed Yosemite, sometimes the wheel of death pops up and freezes what I am busy with in Safari. Apps take longer to open than usual.
I have added EtreCheck results from this morning.
Please give advice on:
How to improve the speed.
Whether there is there something in the results that I should be concerned about.
Hardware that should be updated.
Should I get an app to delete or prevent unnecessary files (from apps?) from being saved without my knowledge.
Thanks

Hi epwebb,
The good news is that you have a good MBP. It seems to be hugged by that google crapware that you have on your Mac. They spy on you, use the bandwidth that you pay for and hugging your Mac obviously at your cost.
Your Mac should be motoring. Look here and here to get the Mac to perform as it should
Have fun

TF10121: The path '' is not found or not supported. Type or select a different path. After SQL2012 install and Solution upgraded to VS2010

I have recently upgraded a solution from vs2008 to vs2010. This solution happens to contain several .rptproj file (SSRS 2008R2 reports). I was able to upgrade the solution after I installed SQL2012 (which installed the necessary templates
into vs2010).
However whenever I open the solution the Output window now pops up and continuously lists the same error (shows output from Source Control - Team Foundation).
TF10121: The path '' is not found or not supported. Type or select a different path.
I have tried reinstalling Team Explorer SP1, and VS2010 SP1, but with no change.
If I unbind the solution from source control the messages go away. Rebind and they return.
The problem doesn't always start straight away, it may take a few solution explorer clicks.
Opening an rdl into the editor seems to halt the messages, until I go back to clicking in solution explorer (similarly the issue doesn't always re-occur first click).
E.g.
TF10121: The path '' is not found or not supported. Type or select a different path.
TF10121: The path '' is not found or not supported. Type or select a different path.
Audit.rdl has been automatically checked out for editing.
Then no errors until going back and clicking in solution explorer (which is using auto hide)

Does anyone else out there share this problem or more importantly a solution/work around?

Hi Evanw21,
Based on the current information, it seems to be the known issue described in the following KB article:
FIX: TF10121 error when you right-click a project file of the project or a folder in the project in Visual Studio 2010
The root cause of the problem is that we hold onto a stale reference to the old project and get back an empty string when we try to get its directory path. To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Customer Support Services to obtain the hotfix. For a complete
list of Microsoft Customer Support Services telephone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft website:
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support
Besides, there is one easy workaround. If we close the solution and re-open it prior to attempting to re-add the project, we should be able to add it successfully.

Hope this helps.
