When I insert an SD card into the iMac nothing happens. It worked until today, when I double clicked on the SD card icon on the desktop and then it disappeared! Cannot find in "Finder". iPhoto does not open upon inserting card. Reformatted card with device (camera). Used Time machine to restart computer before the double click occurence...did not lhelp. Any suggestions?
Have a look in Finder Preferences: Click on the desktop, Finder>Finder Preferences.General tab - is there a tick in "External Disks'? If not, tick it.

What is your operating system? Reader version? Are these local or online PDFs? If online, in what browser?

Mac Mail is fine on Lion but on the Snow Leopard computer its rejecting the password - been absolutley fine up until today?
Any ideas?
SteveYou have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing
When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing, and I can't figure out why, nor how to stop this behavior. When I click in the upper right corner of my screen where it says "Finder", it shows the Finder as the only application running, and yet SOMETHING must be causing the CD to play. If it is an Extension that is being loaded, is it possible to terminate the Extensions one by one without restarting the computer to see which one is playing the CD?
Is the OS9.1 operating system supposed to automatically play audio CD's when they are inserted into the iMac? Or could it be an Extension that is doing it?And if so, why is no means provided to actually CONTROL the playing of the CD (such as a control panel with PLAY, STOP, SKIP, etc. buttons)?
On a PC, I can press Control/Alt/Delete to bring up the "Task List" that will show me ALL applications and processes currently running, and then terminate apps and processes one by one without having to restart the computer to see which one is playing the CD. Is there an equivalent way to display this information on an iMac that will show me which application or process or extension might be causing the audio CD to play, and allow me to terminate them one by one without restarting the computer until I can see which one is the "problem"?
JerryHi, Jerry -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Finder uses QuickTime in the background to do that, hence no specific app is shown in the Application menu (the far right item in the main menu bar) in addition to Finder.
To unset automatic playing of CDs (and DVDs) -
Open the QuickTime Settings control panel (Apple menu > Control Panels > QuickTime Settings).
In that control panel, select AutoPlay from the pulldown menu in the control panel. Uncheck both the items shown in the new window. Close the control panel.
No restart should be needed in order to make the change effective.
Doing this will also guard against the (now ancient) AutoPlay virus, which could still be lurking somewhere on the net. -
Linksys Wireless Card (Linksys Router) in G4 Power Mac works fine until...
Linksys Wireless Card (Linksys Router) in G4 Power Mac works fine until...
new software upgrades on the 14 August 2006 (yesterday) which includes Airport 4.2.
The Linksys wireless PCI card (WMP54G) was installed just under a year ago with no problems. There was no need to install drivers, the Apple Mac recognised it and used it as a wireless card. I was browsing the internet last night (14 August) and the software updates downloaded in the background. Once it finished downloading, it requested for a re-start. I carried on browing the internet and then switched off my machine and went to bed.
When I turned on my computer in the morning, the wireless card no longer activates. The computer recognises there is a card but there is no connection to the router (meaning no internet). The router settings have not changed at all.
I believe it could be the Airport 4.2 update has interfered with the Linksys Card, but I'm not sure. I've been through all the Assist functions etc and there is no luck. It does seem that the big update released on the 14th August has played its part.
Any opinions and assistance on getting the card back to normal, and if possible assistance in removing the new updates to previous drivers/settings.
Thanks people.
G4 Power Mac Dual Processor Mirrored Doors Mac OS X (10.3.9)Sorry, I do not have a solution for you but I have the same problem upgrading from Jaguar to Panther (on my home machine not listed which is a G3 b&w). Now my WMP54G doesn't see any wireless network (I used to be able to see several in the 'hood), and Apple Profiler recognizes the card. Apple updater changed the Airport system files, I believe.
Is it possible to find the old Airport software and install over current system to get it working again? I doubt Apple still offers the old airport software, but if someone has it, maybe it can be installed with Pacifist.
We need some wireless help here, community.

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help! I don't want to have to be stuck using my internal speakers!
Thank you,
ChrisMichael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,

Premiere Pro CC has been working fine until today. I have completed my sequence and it is active. I have both audio and video checked when I am exporting using H.264 with Match Source Hi bitrate. I am choosing entire sequence. The audio exports but the video and title does not. Can anyone tell me how to troubleshoot this so I can complete this project? Please!
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M. -
I received my new iphone 6 last week, backed my iphone 5 and then restored my new handset. It has been working fine until today when I deleted all my contacts from my old handset. Contacts have gone from my new handset too, how do I get them back? I don't think the back up was done using icloud as I keep getting the message "not enough memory"
The point is not whether you used iTunes or iCloud to restore your new iPhone. It's whether you have Contacts turned on in Settings > ICloud. If you do on both your old iPhone and new iPhone then those devices are connected through iCloud. Deletions on one device are also made on the other.
You may be able to restore your Contacts be using your old device backup to restore your new iPhone again. Make sure that you turn Off ICloud functionality on your old iPhone before you delete anything else from it. -
I am not able to open any app on my iphone. While i'm trying to open an app it just shake the screen and it does not open and remains in the same screen. It worked fine until I charged the phone this evening. After that suddenly I'm facing this. Please can anyone help me to recover this issue? pls!
This is covered in the basics section.
A restore loses nothing.
A restore does. If you are using the iphone as designed, then everything should be on your computer. -
I have downloaded Windows 8 on my Mac Pro 13'' retina display. The first few hours everything worked fine until I open windows today and the trackpad/mouse and keyboard aren't working. Ive tried resetting windows but it didnt work. help appreciated thanks
It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch... -
I bought Apple TV3 , it was working fine until today and stopped showing the status light. Please help.
try another cable it's a std cable that most consumer electronic use
if that does not help then I would try to connect it by a microUSB cable to see if I could restore the firmware from a computer running itunes
if that does not help then I would say that the appletv have died -
I have experienced issues on certain web sites not being able to open some articles. Everything worked fine until 9/24/12. Perhaps it is related to the software update IOS 6.
The web site I open a lot is Racer X and that is where I have the issues!
Anyone any suggestions or have the fix for it?Reinstall Safari 5.1.1
If that doesn't help install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
Restart your Mac after installing software. -

There are some databases/sites that I have access to when having an IP number on university campus or with a proxy. This worked well in firefox until today. When trying to visit those pages the addresses automatically change a second or two after pressing enter to something like: http://www04.sub.su.se:###/ combined with showing random webpages in the window. This seems to be something associated with firefox since I still have access to the pages in internet explorer.
For example:
If I write http://www.isiknowledge.com/ the address changes to http://www04.sub.su.se:2133/cgi-bin/[email protected].
If I want to get to scholar.google.se I get redirected to http://www04.sub.su.se:2087/
When wanting to visit http://pubs.acs.org/about.html I will end up here: http://www04.sub.su.se:2110/about.html
This problem only occurs on services where I in normal case can get access to articles in scientific journals. I have not encountered this problem in other cases/websites.
