Upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.4 and cannot watch bbc iplayer, upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.4 and cannot watch bbc iplayer

Unable toplay itv or bbc iplayer since my upgrade to this OS X 10.7.4
Please healp!
It works well on my ipad....

For pdzach:
Buy a suitably-sized external HD (allow for future increase of your internal data), preferably firewire but a USB drive will work. (Although it used to be that some USBs won't boot a Mac, but my 5-year-old SATA ex-internal in a USB case works OK, as do LaCie drives).
Download Carbon Copy Cloner (search for it). Its free (donations invited). I have used it for years, 100% reliable, and SuperDuper is also said to be good.
CCC is very easy to use. It asks you for the source disc (your Internal system HD) and the target disc (your new external). Press a button and it takes about an hour the first time, less later. Meanwhile, you can continue to use the computer.
The result is a bootable copy of everything (and that means every single thing) of your internal HD. For example, you can specify that copy as the start-up disk, or more commonly, hold the option key down when restarting the computer and when asked, choose the copy. Restarting on the clone can take me back to exactly where I was at 7 am that day. A huge life-saver. The loss of an internal HD without a backup (and it happened twice to me but I had a clone) would cause huge disruption.
I have CCC set to make a bootable copy at 7 am every day. If my HD failed in some way, I could get bace to exactly where I was at 7 am that morning.
I also have Time Machine set up, but it has failed three times and I would only use it to recover a recent file or two.
Another thought: When upgrading the computer's OS, I make another clone of the old system, just in case the new OS installation fails (or better, I install the new OS when booted on a very recent clone, so I can ditch the clone if the installation fails and return to the old OS on the internal). Also, I have a bootable copy of Snow Leopard for the remaining old software that will not run on Lion.

I started a section with my Apple ID (the account that I have I use to iTunes) but when I try to update it says that there are upgrades available for other accounts and that I have to upgrade using the account that I used to buy iPhoto. What do I have to do to upgrade iPhoto?

2007 iMac freezes up, rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve?

My circa 2007 iMac freezes up, and rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Most of the time I ONLY have 1 thing open at a time, and keep my tabs down to a minimum. I bought this to do film editing on but with it acting like this I cannot do that. I know I need a ram upgrade (currently running 2 gb) and my OS is old, 10.5.8, but I think even with it being a bit outdated it should run better than this. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve this? Or any other suggestions to keep this clunker chugging along for a little while longer?

How full is the hard drive?
Do you run any virus software or hard drive "cleaner" software like MacKeeper?
If your model is from 2007 you can install up to 6 GBs of RAM.
2 GBs is the barest of minimum RAM for OS X to run on.
Especially if doing video work. You simply do not have sufficient RAM.
Also OS X 10.5.8 Leopard support ended around 2009.
You could update to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, at least.
It is available on disc from the Apple store for U.S. $19.99.
I Would seriously upgrade your iMac's RAM to the max. 6 GBs before doing this.
Reliable Mac RAM can be purchase from online Mac RAM source Crucial memory or OWC ( also known as macsales).

Go to the Purchases tab in App Store and click on the Mountain Lion download. See if there is a Resume option.
There also might be an icon in the Dock where you can try the same.
I can't remember from Snow Leopard what it shows when you are downloading.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud. When I go to the mac app store it says pages 5.0 is installed, but Pages says it's running 4.3. I just want to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

I am puzzled by iMac(Intel ?). I am running an iMac 24 and use Mac:Office 2008. After having downloaded my Os X LION upgrade, I am suddenly unable to SAVE (and thus alter) my Excel quotations. This is a major issue for a salesman. Can anybody help me

I am puzzled by the meaning of iMac (Intel) as I use an iMac 2 period. I am running Mac : Office 2004 and do all my quotations in Excel. After upgrading to OS X LION, I am suddenly unable to SAVE my spreadsheets. As a salesman whose quotations need frequent updating, my situation is perilous to say the least. Can anyone help me ?

Office for Mac 2004 is NOT compatible with Lion. It must be upgraded to Office for Mac 2008 or 2011, once you have upgraded the files will be accessable. Office for Mac 2004 is written for old PPC (Power PC) based machines. Beginning with Lion support for PPC based apps has been dropped.

Upgrading from Illustrator 10: CS2 or CS3? (CS4 and CS5 do not run on my Mac)

Provided I'm able to find a legitimate copy of the upgrade version from a reputable source, which one is the highest Mac version that one can upgrade from Illustrator 10? CS2 or CS3? Higher versions won't run on my PPC Mac anyway.
I'm asking now because I just finished upgrading my ancient Acrobat Standard 5.x to Acrobat Professional 8 for under $29, shipped. It turned out to be a sealed, unopened box, and I've registered it with Adobe already and collected the registration incentive received from Adobe (11 hours of training at lynda.com).
Any input will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

CS4 requires OS10.4.11 or newer.
Basically, you can go all the way to CS4 or anything short of that. Without moving past the PPC chip and OS10.4.11.
Since CS4 will work, CS3 will certainly work. I believe CS3 required OS 10.4.8 or newer. Checking my disk.... yup 10.4.8 or newer. I would simply look for whatever you can find, short of CS5. That itself may sort out what you can purchase.
Actually thinking upgrades.. you're right. Only 3 versions. So for "upgrade" you're limited to CS3 from Ai10. CS3 will run great on a PPC with 10.4.11. I'd search for that if possible. I wouldn't settle for CS2.

Hello everyone. I've got a macbook pro running on mac os x 10.6.8; trying to set up norton antivirus and it requires mac os x 7 or later. How can I safely upgrade to mac os. 7?

leroydouglas is correct, DO NOT install Norton or any other commercial anti virus software. They all work very poorly with Macs. If you insist on AV software, consider Sophos, it is free.
If you do wish to update your OSX, here are the available options:

Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install fix does not work?

Hello:
After running Software Update, I am unable to log in.
I found the following support article:
Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install
Article: TS1543
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1543?viewlocale=en_US
However, upon step 8 of the instructions, the following error appears:
delete Invalid Path
<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eUnknownNodeName)
This is actually after an update (not an "upgrade"), so I'm not even sure these are the appropriate steps.
This is the second time that I have been unable to log in after an update. The first time, I attempted to reset the password with the installation DVD; however, this resulted in "No LDAP Master" errors and I installed Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server on a second internal drive and configured everything again. After setting everything up on the second install, I was going to reformat the first boot drive. Unfortunately, I'm just back to where I started after running the updates. I'm not sure if having two volumes with Mac OS X Server installed makes a difference in the instructions in the article mentioned above or not.
Another question: Is resetting the password with the installer DVD the same as using the Single User approach ("launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist", "ls /Users", then "dscl . -delete /Users/username AuthenticationAuthority")?
If so, I'll just do that; however, I am hoping that the Single User approach might somehow avoid "No LDAP Master" errors again.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The mail app on my Mac laptop will not open. This began happening after an upgrade during which "Security UPdate 2012-004" was installed. My mail app has a new icon, and I think i trashed the old program (trying to follow directions). Suggest a fix?

How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

The latest version of iPhoto - 9.5.1 - requires MacOS X 10.9.x. Is it possible to upgrade your Mac to Mavericks? Then you can buy the latest iPhoto from the AppStore.
If your Mac does not support Mavericks, you could upgrade to iPhoto 9.4.3, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650 , but this version is no longer availbale from the AppStore. Buy a boxed retail version of iPhoto '11 from Amazon or eBay, and then update it from the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650 .

FF Mac Desktop Addon and links download errors after upgrade to 35.0.1

My problem started when FF was repeatedly trying to automatically upgrade to 35.0.1. It repeatedly failed the incremental upgrade and said I should download from Mozilla.org. However, after doing that and installing 35.0.1 both addons and application support for links were broken and did not work. I have tried various solutions including deleting mimeTypes.rdf, deleting FireFox and all associated settings using AppZapper. A clean install of FireFox still is having the problem.
When I try to add any addon, such as AdBlock, I see the message "There was an error downloading" as in the attached image.
https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2015-02-07-07-12-42-8eb8ad.png
Similarly if I click on any link which would download a file, it always fails as in the following image where I attempted to download FireFox.
https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2015-02-07-07-19-04-eb8857.png
However, if I click on the download retry widget next to the failed download it will succeed as in the attached image.
These issues first arose after FireFox could not upgrade itself and I did a manual download and install of 35.0.1. Initially, I could not cleanly quit FireFox. It always aborted when I selected Quit. However, since my AppZap delete and reinstall it does quit cleanly. Although, I can not seem to get Addons and link support to work. With out Adblock I really can not use FireFox.
I also use Chrome and Safari. Those are behaving normally. I also used Disk Utility to repair permissions. Nothing was listed in any directory associated with FireFox.
Any suggestions as to how to correct?

<blockquote>
Sounds like a permissions issue. If firefox can not save things to your hard drive, it won't be able to download things. Have you tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling firefox? That can fix issues caused by update problems.
</blockquote>
I have checked permissions, using both Mac OS X tools, and terminal to assure directory was one to which it could write. I have tried to install a fresh clean copy several times without any improvement.
''finitarry [[#answer-687789|said]]''
<blockquote>
You can fix Adblock Plus by setting this in about:config:
* dom.indexedDB.enabled -> true
You could try downloading Firefox from

dom.indexedDB.enabled was already set to true. New installs do not clear the problem

I have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

i have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

No... Because it is distributed via the Mac App Store, it falls under the Mac App Store rules.. Which should mean that you can install it on up to 5 machines that you own.

I on os x 10.7 and I'm going to upgrade to 10.8 installed messages already do i have to uninstall and what about my mac os x 10.7 applications

I on os x 10.7 and I'm going to upgrade to 10.8 installed messages already do i have to uninstall and what about my mac os x 10.7 applications. Like word and minecraft What happens to them?

Not until the day that 10.8 is released will anyone know the details but it's doubtful you will have to uninstall Messages. Native Mac OS X applications that run on v10.7 shouldn't be a problem wtih 10.8 but again, we won't know until Mountain Lion is released.
