Unable to find airdrop, searched finder and still no luck. Any suggestions?
We recently upgraded all the computers in the house with lion. My Husband has a Macbook Pro and I have a Macbook. I attempted to send him a file but I am unable to locate airdrop. My husband verified he had it on his Macbook Pro and was unable to find my computer in his Airdrop. I search via Finder, launchpad, and applications. Has this happened to anyone else and any suggestion on how I might be able to find it?
Thanks
AirDrop is supported on the following Macs:
MacBookPro (Late 2008 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)

my sound has stopped working on my iphone 4s I did a complete restore and still no luck, any suggestions?
If the silent switch is off, no change after inserting and removing the earbuds or headset cable a number of times, and the same after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem.
The iPhone includes a one year warranty. -

trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck - any thoughts? Have spent two weeks trying to get apple support and itunes to help me get lion after a hard drive fail and now they are closed and I really just want to get moving!
Are you installing OS X Lion over an existing installation of Snow Leopard, or are you reinstalling?
First be sure you have everything on your system backed up. Then reboot with the Command-R keys held to get to the OS X Lion recovery volume. In here, select Disk Utility and use the First Aid tab in here to run a verification on your boot drive. If there are any errors, fix them and then try the installation again.
The next step would be to format the drive, so with your backup secured, use Disk Utility's Erase tab to re-format the drive to Mac OS X Extended (journaled), and then quit Disk Utilty and attempt the installation again. -

After the recent update, my documents moved from Finder to Word. When I moved the folders to Finder, I am unable to attach a file to an e-mail. Any Suggestions?
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files? Does using time machine mean that that partition is no longer able to be used as it used to be?
HDD is a Toshiba 1TB, partitioned into two 500GB partitions.
OS X version 10.9.2Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.

Have you tried to repair the disk yet -
I updated the software on my 2009 MBP to Mountain Lion. Since then, my iPhoto has been unable to open my photo library. I have updated iPhoto, and still no luck. Any ideas for fixing this problem?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Do you see any message when you open iPhoto? Try to open iPhoto holding Option key and select the library -

My iWeb Account wont update it says Can’t create the file “mwmac_white.png.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges... This has never happend I deleted other sources on website and still wont work? Suggestions?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This is the image contained in the file causing the problem...
I certain the original is contained in the Combo updates and on the OS disks.
As a temporary fix, click on the image above to open it.
Use Screen capture (Shift+Command+4) and click on the opposite corners of the image.
It will be saved as a Screen shot 2011-mm-dd at hh:mm.png
Right click on the filename in Finder and rename it to mwmac_white.png
I'm not certain, but the file might need to be moved into the Documents directory in the Subdirectory named for the website name you are editing. That's where it is on my system, but I moved a bunch of files when I restored from Time Machine about 18 months ago.
I also have many copies of mwmac.png, a separate copy one for each web page where the image appears in my website. -
I cannot reply to Apple Support Communities questions? I have already cleared caches and cookies and still no luck?
Click on one of those files, then go to Get Info in Finder: select what application should open such files.

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 on my old iMac (running 10.9.5) to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?
For Mavericks you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1.
You cannot buy this version from the AppStore, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6, and that requires Yosemite. The easiest route for you would be to upgrade to Yosemite. Then you can simply buy the newest version of iPhoto from the App Store and can use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ), once it has been release for the Mac as well early next year.
If you want to stick with Mavericks, you'll have limited iCloud features, only the Photo Streams (iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ), but no iCloud Drive (iCloud Drive FAQ) and iCloud Photo Library. And to upgrade iPhoto you need to buy an iPhoto '11 installer. It comes as part of iLife '11. You can try to buy a boxed version from Amazon or try to find it at eBay. Once installed on Mavericks, download the iPhoto '11 updaters from the apple Support Downloads page. -
My computer had to be shut down this morning when I could move my mouse around but it would not respond when I double clicked on an item to select. Now I cannot open a file in my finder window by double clicking on it. Any suggestions?
Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.
