Updated to 10.6.1 and now won't log me in at all! HELP!
Upgraded our black Macbook (bought July 08) to 10.6.1. Started having wonky issues (firefox crashing, beach-balling all over the place, etc) with install of SL. After patch update mail wouldn't open. Then after the restart I clicked the username and goes to the wallpaper but no icons, no nothing and eventually just returns to the login screen. I'm dead in the water...what can I do?
I have simply been backing up to iTunes using the sync function.
My most recent backup using that method was a bit too old. To get a more recent backup of my data, I decided to do another sync backup before uninstalling Numbers from my system. (I did have the sense to copy the previous iTunes backup to another file folder on my PC before making that last sync - just in case I need it.)
Is there some way to extract Numbers spreadsheets from the iTunes sync backup? I haven't found any way to access these spreadsheet except by using Numbers. Since Numbers isn't working, I seem to be stuck. I did find some software that extracts a variety of data from iTunes backups but it doesn't extract Numbers data.

I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?
I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue. -
I plugged my phone in my computer to download my pictures once it finished downloading I unpluged my phone and it went black and now won't turn back on. Please help me!!
Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8 & I mistakenly added Safari for OSX 10.9 on it and now I can't use Safari. Is there any way to uninstall the newer Safari and leave my older version with its bookmarks, etc. or do I have to delete it and reinstall the proper update ?
Let it go... these DL's take forever, depending on the spped of your connection and the traffic on the servers.
If by morning it is still sitting there restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off. -

ITunes updated to 7.3.1 and now won't open
I started iTunes and it automatically updated. Now I get a message that OSX 10.4.7 is required to use iTunes. This computer will only go to 10.4.3. I tried downloading the system updaters, but they will not install because the 1GHz processor isn't enough. Now I can no longer use iTunes. I tried using a different login account and I got the same response. Any suggestions? I can't find older versions of iTunes, so what is an old guy to do?
When you say "My iTunes is located on my G drive" do you mean the MP3 library, or the actual program? If it's the MP3 library, you can remove the songs and start over. If it's the program itself, I'm not sure why it would even appear in Windows anymore. Usually, you can go to the "Add / Remove Programs" section, attempt to delete it, and when it can't find it, it'll remove the reference to it.

So yeah, got an iPod touch for Christmas and it's pretty much bricked it and I haven't even had it for a full month yet. Not amused. I've tried everything from reinstalling everything Apple related on my laptop to external programs that promise to kick that thing out of recovery mode. If there's any other way to fix it I'd love to know considering it won't show up in iTunes at all so there's no way for me to restore it. This is my first Apple product and I haven't found a solution to a problem that I've found dates back as far as 2012 with no semblance of a way to fix it. Though I've seen ways to fix each problem separately it appears you need one thing to be working to fix the other which is an issue.
Okay I'm just ranting to but help would be appreciatedTry:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Updated iBook on PowerBook CD and now it can't find Finder. PLEASE HELP!
Today I updated my iBook G3 from OS X 10.2.8 to OS X 10.3.x using a disk that I had found for my PowerBook G4. My PowerBook crashed a couple of years ago and has been sitting on my desk as a paper weight, so i figured that the disk would update the iBook with no problem. I turned on the iBook and logged in and Finder would not run I tried to relaunch Finder, I tried booting in safe mode and nothing has worked. I don't want to reinstall 10.2 but if I absolutely have to I will. Thanks for any help you can provide!
~KharpsAs you have found, software CDs that came with one Mac usually won't work with another model.
Did you back up your hard drive with a clone before attempting the upgrade? If so, you can easily revert to your previous system. -
On 7/27 downloaded 10.4
before that 7/6 downloaded 10.3.1
Just basic updates that come through
Running on MacBook Pro OS X version 10.6.8Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
1. Delete old Library file
2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension - 'iTunes Library'
You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file. -
Iphoto froze and now won't work after restarting... help
I uploaded pictures to my MacBook earlier today, and while editing them, iphoto froze. I restarted my laptop and when I opened iphoto, it comes up, but doesn't show anything and gives me the rainbow circle meaning its trying to load. I have restarted my laptop many times now to try to get it to work, and it does the same thing everytime.
I have a MacBook, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. It normally works fine, till I was editing today. Please help!What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My ipod nano's battery died and now won't turn back on... help? =]
Okay so I was listening to my ipod in the car and it died. I tried to charge it at my friend's house with her iphone charger and it wouldn't turn back on. I plugged it in at home and it still won't start and itunes shows that it's not even plugged in. I tried that shindig where you switch the hold button then press those two buttons but that didn't work either... help?
My 3rd gen nano did the exact same thing to me as well today. I tried doing the reset and nothing happened. I tried calling Apple, but they said it's out of phone warranty, so they couldn't do much. They said they didn't recognize the error I'm getting, so they recommended taking it into a store. When I attach it to my computer, I don't get any response from the ipod, but my computer says that there is new hardware that says "Apple Recovery (DFU) Driver." iTunes tries to read the ipod but says it has an unknown error (-185). I am extremely frustrated. Anyone have suggestions as to what is going on?

MacBook Pro lost and now won't detect wifi in the house - HELP!
I'm using a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. I'm staying at a friend's home which provides wifi via Shaw Cable. We've been here for a week. When we arrived the MacBook detected the wifi in the house and I was able to sign in without any difficulty. Suddently, today in the middle of a web chat with a customer service provider, the connection was lost. When I attempt to reconnect it detects other networks but not the one in the house. I've rebooted the MacBook, rebooted the modem, turned airport on and off, deleteted all remembered networks (then rebooted), attempted to manually enter the network name and password all without success.
Other devices are connected: my iPad and a Windows PC. I can connect the MacBook via ethernet and it works. So I know the connection and modem are working.
Most solutions I've see talk about resetting either the channel (to 11) or changing some other setting on the modem. Since this is not my house or system, I don't have access to the modem settings. Nor do those solutions make sense since I was connect for 6 days without any issues.
Does anyone have any idea how to get the MacBook to detect the network again?Might be corrupted network preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Turn off the base station for about ten seconds then turn it back on.
Then try Wi-Fi.
Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you. -
