To amplify slightly what Fruhulda says, you can export and reimport data in this way: obviously you will lose all formatting - more importantly you will lose all calculations, and simply import the result of calculations. So you will have quite a bit of work if your databases are complex.

You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Hi,

Did you point that SkyDrive changed to OneDrive?
Did you move your OneDrive to another location or change its name?
Please login OneDrive with web-based to check if you could access it successfully.

After installing Mountain Lion, TextEdit doesn't work anymore.

Before, I used OS 10.6.8, but tonight after updating the new system Moutain Lion, TextEdit doesn't work any more.
TextEdit is something I use offen, I need a solution.

Image Capture is one of the applications that comes with the OS and there doesn't appear to be a separate download for it. You would have to reinstall the OS to get in back if it isn't there.
Depending on the printer you have, you may have an option to scan from System Preferences/Print & Scan.
try deleting the .plist - com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Windows doesn't work

Hello,
I've just upgraded my computer to Mountain Lion (from Leopard) and Microsoft windows 'the Power PC applications are no longer supported'. I've tried to download different version of Microsoft windows - still doesn't work. Help!?
I'm aware that this question may have been posted but somehow can't access the main community room.
Thanks
Odyle

You can't run Windows on a Mac unless you use BootCamp or a third-party utility such as Parallels Desktop.
Perhaps you mean Microsoft Word (which is part of the MSOffice suite).
Only MSOffice 2008 and later will run in Mountain Lion.
However there are very good free alternatives, such as LibreOffice.

IChat in Lion simply doesn't work

I have a 2008 Mac Pro that has been through Leopard, Snow Leopard and now Lion upgrades.
And a 2011 MacBook Pro that saw an upgrade to Lion.
I cannot get iChat to work on either machine. Both have been transported to several different locations (hence different ISP's and router configurations), I have tried deleting and re-adding my AIM account on both machines as well. Have tried SSL on and off, Wifi, Ethernet connections. Nothing seems to work.
Username and password are obviously fine. It simply doesn't change from "offline". I have tried changing via Status, via iChat > Log In, nothing. No messages, no error messages, its like it doesn't even realize I'm giving it a command. Have also tried changing port settings, connecting without a router at all, etc. I'm very confident it is a software issue/bug, not something with my connection. As it worked just fine before the Lion upgrade (on both machines)
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Thanks for the Points.
The steps were listed in the least Destructive first.
They also served to show that it could be one or two causes.
The IMAgent issue has the possibility of messing up Face Time as well.
The Keychain issue could cause you issues with several apps like the Address book and Mail as well as Face Time and iChat due to the interlinking created by the Address Book use of your Contacts' info.
Although the last does and is sometimes the only course of action it is relatively extreme and lacks a certain finesse.
Doing all three without checking in between is a bit over the top in my book, and misses out of the staged learning I was trying to also get across.
Glad to hear you have it working.

Upgraded to Leopard, Mail doesn't work

I recently upgraded to Leopard and the Mail program doesn't work. Won't display any mail. Seems to send mail okay from my .mac and .aol (my main email address) accounts, but no messages are displayed, and it is impossible to quit Mail without going through a force quit. I resisted upgrading to Leopard because everything ran so smoothly in 10. 4. 11. But I thought it was time. So far, I've seen no improvements, and this one big problem!
Any ideas? Bob Krist

After upgrading from Tiger to Leopard with the default method Mail was the only thing that didn't work. It wouldn't open a Mail window, appeared to be open on the menu bar and in the dock but would not quit from either command. I had to force quit. When I finally got a mail window to appear, all my email profiles and folders appeared in the left hand bar, but nary an email to be seen in any location. I could not send or receive emails. Pretty much dead!
I didn't have a meltdown because I'd archived my most important emails that were in my folders. I dug through dozens of posts on multiple forums and tried a procedure I could see was making it worse. I shut down the computer so I could get help from AppleCare this morning.
I got in trouble following the less than adequate instructions from The AppleBlog; inadequate because it didn't say where to move the folders and plist to. My most helpful Apple Tech advised me that I needed to QUIT Mail before dragging ONLY the ~Library>Preferences>com.apple.mail.plist file to my desktop. The two folders need to stay in the Library.
After you are out of Mail, on the desktop click on the plist to highlight it. Use Control-click to display the popup menu and select Copy for the plist. Open finder window and select ONLY Preferences (~Library>Preferences) so the word Preferences is highlighted. Go to the Finder>Edit>Paste drop down menu of the toolbar. Select Paste. It will ask if you want to replace the newly created plist with the one you just copied. Select replace. Relaunch Mail and that should restore all your Mail Profiles and retrieve your messages.
This process even brought back my mail folders and put all my saved messages back where they were filed. I didn't have to get into my archived messages file after all.
I just wish I could have found this simpler fix online without spending hours searching and reading conflicting suggestions. Maybe this will help someone else fix their problem faster.

Appleworks doesn't work on my Mac Mini - spinning ball loop

I get spinning ball, with activity monitor showing 99% cpu usage for appleworks. Problem occurres when clicking in area to switch to finder. Rest of system works but can't get spinning ball to stop. Have to force quit on Appleworks.
Mac mini - Intel (1 month old) OS 10.4.6 with latest updates applied, which included a firmware fix. Appleworks Version 6.2.9 (but same failure with 6.2.7)
As suggested by Peggy did file permission check/fix and removed preference file to force a clean new preference file. Doesn't help.
Appleworks V6.2.9 seems to work OK, at least with the limited usage, WP & SS, on my PowerPC G5.
Any suggestions?
Chuck

Welcome to Apple Discussions Chuck
Obviously you found my user tip/posts on corrupt AppleWorks preferences although you said "preference file." There are four preference files in two different places. Take another look at my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for the file names & locations.
However, the spinning beach ball you see in AppleWorks has nothing to do with your Intel Mac or corrupt preferences but is the most complained about bug in AppleWorks 6 - known as the "Recent Items bug." The same problem will affect any Mac no matter what processor or OS. There are three user tips in the User Tips Library dealing with Recent Items.

IPhone 3GS upgraded to iOS5, vibrate doesn't work

I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS5 a couple weeks back and since then vibrate hasn't worked.
I've checked that vibrate is enabled in Sounds and also checked Notifications.
I managed to get the iPhone to vibrate once after the upgrade, but not since. Even using the silent switch doesn't vibrate the phone anymore, neither does plugging the phone into a power source.
Any ideas?

Hi to the forum. This is my first post - ever!
It's taken me 25 years of Apple equipment purchase and enthusiastic advocation to get to this point.
And what has got me here? 'The GPS on my iPhone 3G has doesn't work'. If you Google this statement you get 12 million hits. It seems to me that's probably 12 million people who have a problem with an Apple product they've purchased.
I've read a lot of the solutions that other users have come up with - dozens of different ones. I've updated the iPhone software as soon as I can, I've been patient, I've given Apple chance to sort it out. I've even gone back to printing out Google maps onto paper (remember 'paper') and taken those out with me in the car to find my way around town.
However - the southern hemisphere summer is coming and I want to use the (totally brilliant) Navionics chart/GPS App on the boat. No chance. According to the iPhone we're in Africa not New Zealand.
So what to do? I can't find any 'official' info from Apple. I've no idea how the politics of these situations work - and I don't care! 12 million hits can't be wrong. Apple needs to tell it's users what is happening (even if they're still working on it), and when we can expect a fix.
Come on Apple, keep us in the loop - we love your products - and we want to keep advocating for you!
PS - this is the best place I could find to have ths little discusion - if anyone has a more direct line to God (err I mean Apple) please let me know!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
