What to do with a wet Mac

Help !!!
Iced Tea directly onto my MacBook Pro and I took the back off.. It's drying but wanted to know if there were any other tips to ensure that I can get this back in working order. Any advice would be greatly recommended.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,

Step 1: Do not turn on. Turn off if it is on.
Step 2: Disconnect from power.
Step 3: Do not "tilt" trying to get get the tea to a "better place". Will likely make things much worse.
Step 4: For me ... Apple Genius Bar at the Apple store. Others say "maybe it will dry out. I would not take the risk for my MBP.
Locig board (if only that) could be $800. But if you *ever* want Apple to allow the remaining warranty to cover the screen/keyboard, etc ... Appple has to approve the condition after the repair or "no repair needed".

Irony: Bridge doesn't know what to do with .pictclipping file (Mac)

Bridge 5.0.2.4 running under Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 does not know to which application to hand a ".pictclipping" file.
This type of file normally opens in the Finder, without launching any other application or utility of any kind.
However, Bridge doesn't even show a preview in The Content panel or in the Preview panel either. Double clicking on such a file within Bridge's Content panel results in Bridge launching and/or bringing to the front the TextEdit application showing a totally empty window showing the actual name of the file in its title bar but a completely blank window.
Needless to say, it's not possible to establish a file association between this kind of file and the Finder from within Bridge.
Just another example of the lack of attention and resources Adobe has shown toward its stepchild application, Bridge.
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.5 does not open such files through its Open menu item dialog either, even though it correctly detects them as a .PICT files.

The only way to see an image contained within a PictClipping in OSX 10.8.4 is in Apple's own Finder App. and it appears that you can't do anything with it once you have "found" it?! …
That's exactly as it is meant to be, Ann. An image that is lightning fast to create, lightning fast to view and utterly impossible to alter, manipulate or edit!
You can, however, copy its contents to your Clipboard after Command+A.

Clicking on it, only opens it in an empty RTF window.
Double clicking on it in all Mac OS versions I know, from Mac OS 9.x and earlier up to and including Lion 10.7.5, immediately shows the image in the Finder itself in a stretchable, floating, Finder window.
Have no knowledge of Mountain Lion (which won't run on my Mac Pro1,1 Quad) but what you describe above is exactly what happens when you double click the image in Bridge's Content panel, and that's just plain wrong behavior. The blank window is not a Finder window in that case, but a TextEdit window.
CameraAnn wrote:
Images from other than MS Office progams can be drag-copied to the Desktop as JPEGs and MS Office images can always be Copied/Saved As to the location and format of your choice.
So I am not sure why anyone would need to make an Image PictClipping anyway?
Oh, I make pictClippings and textClippings all the time, every single day!
For example, I have a large collection of both pictClippings and textClippings containg killer tips by Photoshop luminaries like Bruce Fraser, Ann Shelbourne and Andrew Rodney, that I've created over the years—in a nanosecond each time—by simply highlighting portions of their Adobe forum posts and dragging the selection to the Desktop: instant, permanent reminders!
No application needed to open them or to copy their contents.
Another helpful use is to select text from emails giving me the registration or serial number of applications or plug-ins I buy online then save the clipping in a Reg_SerialNumbers folder for later.

However, Bridge will show only the file icon for any image-containing Clipping…
Sure, but that's just the unacceptable, unnecessary tease I'm complaining about.
CameraAnn wrote:
…Double-Clicking on one will immediately open a small Finder .app window floating over the Bridge CC window…
You're wrong there, Ann; it's not a Finder window but a TextEdit window. Just look at your menu bar next time you invoke such a tease from within Bridge: the focus will have shifted to the TextEdit application. That's why the window will show text but not images.
Clippings are one of the GREAT features of the Mac OS that are missing in Windows, and one very important factor that attracted me to the Mac almost thirty years ago.
I am very, very surprised that you haven't discovered its usefulness after all these years, as you are one of the savviest Mac user experts I've ever run across.

What to do with old PPC Mac Mini?

I've got an old Mac Mini Power PC lying around with 160 GB HD and 1 GB of RAM. Rather than just let it collect dust, are there any interesting things I can do with it within my home? I'm not looking to run my own web or email server, but any other ideas I'd love to hear.
Thanks

Hello Wayne,
Unless your running a SOHO (Small Office Home Office if your not familiar with the term) the mini server is WAY WAY overkill. For what your wanting to do, the regular version of the OS will work just fine.
Several companies have drive enclosures that look almost identical to the mac mini that is a concern, I'll post a link to one at the end of this response.
If you were going to connect connect your two Mini's directly via the ethernet port you would loose your internet connectivity unless you went (a)wireless for the network portion of your project or (b) got one of apple's usb/ethernet adapters. My suggestion would be to pick up like a netgear, or some other brand, multiport router and plug both units into it.
FW400 to FW00 works fine, I've used it several times when migrating some of the people I support from older macs to newer ones.
Hope this helps or gives you more ideas LOL

Random- What to do with 2 free mac's...

Ok I bought my first mac in april 2007. It was a 2.2Ghz White Macbook, perfectly fine for me. 6 replacements later I Have a 2.53Ghz Unibody MBP and a 2.8Ghz 24" iMac. I have not spent a cent on a computer (apart from a bit of ram here and there) since my initial outlay of €1500. Do the maths and what I have now is worth €3848, well over twice my initial purchase, and well over my initial needs. My compensation is completely warranted, no question. The only problem is, how to get the most out of these machines.
I take a lot of photo's and edit them a bit, however my first mac could nearly do this.
I am probably going to be starting to do a little bit of video'ing and then editing soon, but that will end by april.
What I am looking for is ideas from you people on what I could start doing to get the most out my machines? I would love to write programs but the learning bit is very boring to me especially as in the beginning it is all command line and no GUI, which is what I love.
So has anyone any suggestions? I don't have that much cash to spend, I have an absolutly huge amount of storage, and two very powerful machines.
Thanks in advance! Hopefully this will lead me on to better things than games!
Regards

Depending on what kind of programming you've done (or want to do), you might want to take a look at REALbasic at http://www.realsoftware.com/
If you've used or heard of Visual Basic, it's a rough equivalent, but many say much better.
It's designed for interactive apps, although it can be used for console apps as well. It's object-oriented and event-driven, and can be used to make cross-platform apps as well.
Programming is done via an IDE (interactive development environment) -- a.k.a., GUI.
If you're new to such things, there will be something of a learning curve. It comes with fairly full onscreen documentation, including a tutorial and example projects. You can also purchase printed versions of two of the manuals (I got the User's Guide, and thought it was well worth it).
I think it's still $99 per year, including about 4 updates. And you can download it and use it in demo mode for a couple of weeks, as I recall.

What to start with my new Mac Pro

Hello Mac people,
I just got new Mac Pro (still in the box) and need to do several things to it. Can you help me to do it in right order?
Here are the things I need to do to my new Mac Pro...
* get it out of the box and plug the power cord, of course...
* put new memory sets 4x2GB=8GB (will take out the factory 2GB too)
* add 2 hard drives (750GB each)
* put pcie card (for video output device - blackmagic)
* put pcie card for the external hard drive
* and of course, I need to transfer everything from old ppc G5 to new Mac Pro...
OK, my questions are...
1. What would be the right order to do the things I listed above?
2. If there's no right order for putting the pcie card, memory, and hard drive, can I do all of them at the same time? or should be done one by one...?
3. when would be the good time to bring the stuff from old mac? regarding things I listed above...
Please help me...
Thanks,

Run Apple Hardware Test first.
Backup / clone your hard drive before making changes.
Once cloned to new drive, and run Repair Permissions and insure it works properly, pull the original drive and keep off line for now.
Don't import G5 PPC applications, reinstall (if they have installers).
Test it works with Apple RAM before pulling.
Make changes one at a time so you know if something isn't right.
It could take awhile to really know if something needs updating, and assume your PCIe cards are Leopard + Mac Pro compatible and you have the latest drivers handy if you need to apply updates (very common with new systems and new OS like Leo).
Plug in the power cord last.
Once you know everything works, import your personal settings to your new OS.

What to do with a damaged Mac Book Pro? Any parts worth keeping?

Hi
Ive recently spilt a glass of coke on my macbook pro and it stopped working. I took it to apple and they said it was damaged.
I have purchased a new mac since and transfered all the info from the old to the new.
Are there any parts worth keeping on the "Coke Damaged" macbook?
I have taken out the hard drive and keeping that, but would anything else be worth keeping?
Thanks

remove the hard drive (or SSD), which you did.

Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac. Pages only recognizes text. What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac. Pages seems to only recognize text. What app is recommended for pdf documents?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
They will show up in the iBooks application
(If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
One is Books, the other is Collections.
Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
Tap PDFs and you're there.

What is wrong with my 2 month old Mac book pro retina?

I bought a new 13 inch Mac book pro Retina at the end of May 2013. I have been to the apple store and called apple care several times. Now things are very bad. It would crash and give me a white screen every so often but over the last week things have gotten very bad. It will crash with the white screen, browsers and applications all close unexpectedly - it started with firefox then safari, then mail then face book, then adobe and finally iphoto and picassa. I did send in the reports. Also if I had a picture in i-photo my picassa program is set up to grab all pictures - recently any pictures that have been grabbed it says the files are corrupted. I keep having trouble with the air port utility in that it can't find the wireless network and or the time capsuel even though it can be wireless or plugged in by ethernet. I called apple care and got this very nice tech guy and he tried many different fixes and said he thought the hard drive would need to be replaced so got an appointment to take my computer in. They ran two tests and said everything is fine with the computer it must be the software. So now I'm supposed to get apple care to help me try and save all my data on flash drives! Can't back it up on time capsuel cause he said it would just back up the problem. So this seems overwhelming and I'm so upset. Well, then I thought about it and my old mac book in which all the data and software was transferred from hasn't been erased as I was having so many issues I hadn't done that yet. So my question is if it was the software, wouldn't it be making my older mac book do the same thing? What is wrong with my New Computer? As of tonight, I can't even open anything it gives a quick flash of trying to open and closes so the computer is totally useless - so no idea how to get the data off that is most recent. Apple says they cannot help cause it is a software program but now I have a 2 month old computer whish is useless. Any thoughts?

Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck

My Mac is stuck on grey screen what's wrong with it and am I going to lose everything

Hopefully you have a backup, but...
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

What's up with USB Ports in Mac OS???

One of the things I loved about my old TI-PB is that you could plug in any digital device and it would truly be "plug and play" (as opposed to my PC's which were a pain to get working correctly.) In that regard, those "Mac vs. PC" TV ads WERE correct...Until now....I have a brand new MBP, and I can't use my HP Scanjet or my Nikon Digital Camera. System Profiler "sees" the devices on the USB ports, but they don't work. I searched "USB" here and some one mentioned that while Rosetta can translate applications for the Intel chips, Rosetta cannot translate "drivers." WHAT!? A Mac with a "driver" problem??? Heck, that's inheard of, and one of the reasons "I Switched" several years ago....So guess what? I bought a copy of Windows XP, dl'ed BootCamp, dl the HP software for Windoze and the scanner works fine in WIN-XP....For the camera I didn't have to dl anythin else...It works fine with the "Windows Camera and Imaging Wizard."
Sorry for the rant, but this is ridiculous that after spending $$$$ for the MBP I had to buy Windows and have to boot into XP in order to use devices I used flawlessly for years. HP was quoted in MacWorld that all their stuff would work fine with the new macs...Not So...I dl'ed their "HP Image Zone" software marked specifically for intel-based macs to no avail.....
Did I miss something? Is their a fix (firmware, OS, anything!) out there or on the way?? Any Advice would be GREATLY appreciated....

Hi Tom,
Look at this article on Macfixit.com today.....
iPhoto 6.0.4 (#5): Cameras not recognized -- potential fix; Slide show issues
Cameras not recognized -- potential fix Users continue to report issues with importing from some cameras after updating to iPhoto 6.0.4.
One reader writes:
"Since the update I cannot import from my Sony DSC T1. iMac doesn't recognize the camera/memory stick at all."
In some cases (as noted in our Mac OS X 10.4.7 special report), setting the camera to "Printer/PTP" mode then re-connecting it allows photos to be properly transferred to the computer via drag and drop or some applications like iPhoto.
In other cases, you may need to download the latest firmware or driver updates for your camera in order for the device to be recognized and operate properly with Mac OS X. Check your manufacturer's Web site for a download.

What is the best CRM to integrate with Outlook for Mac 2011?

Hello,
I am rather new to Mac and need to employ a CRM for a new small business. After reading reviews we deciding on using Salesforce.com, since it is web-based and seemed to be the best option for mac users. However, now that we have subscribed to it we have discovered that it does not integrate with Outlook for Mac 2011. Even after inquring on third party apps and plug-ins, it does not appear there is a solution. MailDrop only works with Entourage and MacMail, which we don't use, or want to use. iHance and Riva seemed liked possible choices, however they do not support Salesforce Group Edition, which is what we have. Changing our subscription from Group to Professional edition is a huge jump in price per month. Plus we would most likely need to pay for a monthly app/plug-in fee.
Bottom line, we want to keep using Outlook for Mac 2011 and use an effective CRM. Any constructive advice is welcomed:
Any third party apps, plugins, work arounds that I may not have mentioned?
Any other suggestions for CRMs that integrate well with Outlook for Mac 2011?
At it's simpliest level, is there a way to export contacts from Outlook for Mac 2011 into our Salesforce account? If so, I want to make sure to avoid loading duplicates in the future.
Thank you.

Well, "feeling your pain" is almost cliche at this point. I imagine every MAC deployed business out there is not completely happy with the SalesForce answer. As a user, the perfect world is to keep using Outlook, have it be a powerful CRM - and not have to leave the MAC OS environment.....
I can tell you the direction I am going in, but I don't have any results as yet. I found a link from a MAC developer that has figured a stable way to do this. With the use of "Parallels" and "MS Dynamics CRM", there may be light at the end of the tunnel. Essentially, you can now have a powerful CRM - without having to leave MS Outlook - and still use your MAC. As I said, I will have to try it myself to comment further, but at least it is one realistic answer to keeping your MAC in the business world.

The light on my power cord is orange. What is wrong with it and how can I fix my computer?

You have a Macbook Pro. A Mac Pro is a desktop. The light on your power cord is orange when it's charging. It turns green once it's fully charged.
