Upon start up, got "HD needs to expand" message and then memory disappeared
Last night I had nearly 8GB of free space on my PowerBook. This morning, everything was fine before I left for work. I returned home to get one of those exclamation messages upon turning on my computer saying something to the effect of "your HD needs to expand, you will not be able to make changes during this process". Okay, fine. It did that and I looked at my memory, it's down to 4GB.
What the **** happened?! Please help!
Here is the bit from the Console:

I appreciate your help, I've worked on PCs for so many years that when it comes to fixing my Mac, I'm clueless. Probably because I don't have many problems with it.

After you finished installing did you launch Adobe Reader from your /Applications folder and accept EULA(End User License Agreement)?
What is your Adobe Reader version?

On new MBP I keep getting message that I need to shut down and then restart
I just got a new 13" MBP. I took the old 500GB 7200 rpm HD (which was operating perfectly) out of my old 13" white MB and put it in the new MBP. Now at boot I get as far as a gray screen, then I get a black screen with text in several languages saying that I need to shut off and then restart the computer. I went through this drill 5 times with no indication that anything was improving. I am sure that the edge card connector is fully seated on the old HD. Any ideas as to what is happening here?
The Operating System for the old and new machine is different, you can't just swap drives like that, what you're getting is a Kernel Panic.
You need to install the OS from the install discs that came with the new machine onto that hard drive. Boot from your new install DVD (hold c at start) and do an Archive Install of the OS so it saves your user data. -
I recently bought a Macbook Pro, this is my first Mac. I restarted it, but when it started back there was a plain white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to do this manually like with PC's?
The new Mac's came with OS X Lion 10.7 and there are no boot disks.
Since it's so new, take it back to the Apple Store and let them deal with it.
If not you can hold Command and r (as in rotten) keys down and boot the computer.
You'll be presented with a several options, including one to reinstall OS X Lion provided you have a Apple ID, which means you have to use Safari in there to set one up. To do that you need to set up a email account with Google or Yahoo. Once you get the ID, then you can download Lion and reinstall it.
It's so stupid not having a copy of the OS on hand to perform your own repairs.
Of course Apple will be happy to sell you a $69 Lion USB stick.
Like I said, take it back to the store, and try to get your money back, that will force them to think about just giving you a replacement machine that works.
Lion doesn't work really but it can be acceptable until the patches get released. -
When opening any Microsoft documents ( docx, ppt etc) in SharePoint 2013,
Internet Explorer behavior : "Sorry, something went wrong" An unexpected error has occurred message and then nothing happens.
In Chrome : Pops (Microsoft Office needs your permission) message and on clicking RUN, it opens the document.
In Firefox : the documents opens, after asking which application do you want to use to open it.
The feature (Open Documents in Client Applications by Default) is not activate.
Why the MS documents are not working in IE 10?Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to open Microsoft documents in SharePoint 2013.
I recommend to Run the following PowerShell in OWA Server :
Remove-OfficeWebAppsHost # To Remove any restriction
Or
New-OfficeWebAppsHost -Domain <String> # To allow specific domain Name
In addition, you can allow OAuth via HTTP using the following commands:
$config = (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig)
$config.AllowOAuthOverHttp = $true
$config.Update()

I've been using my cell phone number to imessage from my ipad for a while now, but yesterday I got signed out of I message and when I signed back in, I didn't get the option to use my number, only my email adress. How can I fix that?
Hey bill.rizzo2,
Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
- Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
- Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
- Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
- Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
I have tried to update the operating system on my ipad several times without success. Each time it reaches 353.2mb of 353.3mb and starts to process the file. Nothing happens and then I get a message saying the network connection has timed out. The network is still connected.
Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have had success downloading it after doing so.

Sorry Josh, I'm having a bad day with my illness.
Can I ask you to repost this question? Might try in the Mountain Lion forum as well as here.
Put "Mountain Lion Install fails" in the headline box, then from your second post -
"When i run The OSX Mountain Lion Icon i downloaded from the App Store it always gets to the point when its about to restart but the it keeps saying "please quit the application and try again" Now i've tried Re-Downloading it a lot of times but that doesn't work"
and add the Mac specification -

Just got an Airport Time capsule,
I set it up as a network extension and began back-up.
It estimated 4 hours so I left it run. After 10 hours I noticed it had stopped backing up but had not back up to the time capsule. So I tried again and it just got stuck on Calculating Time Remaining. I reset the capsule a few times and have set it up as instructed. The same has happened each time.
It backs up about 17kb of info and then freezes with Calculating time remaining below the progress bar.
Anyone any ideas?
ThanksNetwork extension sounds onimous.. is this wireless extension.. it is super bad for large TM backups..
Always do the first backup direct by ethernet to the TC even if it has to be in full isolation.
Stalling at 17kb might be just the wireless having issues. Or it can be a corruption in a file.
Pondini is our source of all things Time Machine.. and trouble shooting it.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
A1.. install the widget so you have access to the TM logs.. what the heck it is doing.
A4. if you upgrade installed OS.. do a reset of TM and start over.
A5 verify the disk.
C9 watch out for network names that are over long and over complex.. especially with Mavericks. It is hopeless.
I do recommend using a USB connected drive.. to do a first backup it is often the easy way.
Much faster and more reliable than over network. -
Can anyone help me get all my info that is locked in a NUmbers spreadsheet? I was inputting a lot of info when it started being a little difficult, and then it closed down on me. It now will not open telling me that there is no index in it!!
I need that info and of course it has just happened when I am having problems with loads of houseguests and trying to set up an exhibition. I need that data.
Please help me someone!The proper way to close Firefox is through the File menu "Exit" or the equivalent with the Firefox button.

[http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6) (#fx4interface)]
Firefox already running, to properly shutdown Firefox when closing the last window use File → Exit/Quit (or Firefox button → Exit). Closing Firefox with the [X] in the upper right corner closes the window ("Ctrl+W") but that does not necessarily close Firefox if it has subtasks running. If you want to close and reopen Firefox use the "Restart" within Add-ons if you made a change requiring a restart, or install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/restartless-restart/ Restartless Restart]" ("Ctrl+Alt+R") which will allow you to take Firefox down and restart without having to check the Windows Task Manager to see if Firefox first actually ended.

How do I change Mac desktop folder/safari pictures to registered business icons? I have tried almost everythin but none are working. First how do I capture the business icon from the website, then what?
OK, well to start with, you must have the icon file in the correct format. You need to end up with an .icns file. One of the how-to articles should tell you how to do this - iConvert will also do it.
If it is in the correct format, when you click the icon file to highlight it, and click cmd-i, you will see the Get Info window - at the top left, you should see a mini version of the icon. If you do NOT see that icon correctly, the file is not the correct format. So this will not work for a jpg or png file, for example.
Once you have this window open, go to the thumbnail, click it to highlight it blue, and click cmd-C to copy.
Go to your Safari app from the Applications folder (not from the dock), again click cmd-i to open its Get Info window, and again click its icon to highlight it blue. Now click cmd-V to paste. You will be asked for your admin password to authenticate. The icon should now become the one you've pasted in.
You may need to log out and back in for the effect to show on the application file itself.
You might also want to look into Candybar if you plan on doing a lot of icon customization.

So I've started my quest for the correct information and software required to completely erase and then re-install the OS on my G4 Power PC (Quicksilver 2002) roughly 2 days ago only to be stuck and very frustrated! So I could more than likely figure this out on own BUT the OS currently installed is so screwed up I cant even safe mode start it.. so I cant get the information I need from the "about this Mac" details if it were running. Is there another way to figure the correct OS X and build I'll need to reformat. I just want to return it to it's factory state and then give it to my kid. Anyone's help on this matter will be so very appreciated. Thanks
Be sure to look only for original or retail versions:
Original OS
Mac OS 9.2.2 (Mac OS ROM 9.0.1) and Mac OS X 10.1.2 (5P63)
Later OS
Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.1.3, 10.1.5, or 10.2
Maximum OS
Mac OS X 10.4.11 (733, 800 MHz) Mac OS X 10.5.8 (933 MHz+)
