When I update Mac OSX and it can not rebot

I got alert from mac website to update mac utility for example quicktime, itune,...and OS X combine intel!? (something like this can't remember exactly name) and after finish install and required me to restart or shutdown so I choose shutdown, then I press the power to restart but it pass the apple symbol and going to the blue screen and stop there, I leave it all night but still blue and tried to restart again and the result the same. I have the same problem like this before (can't reboot) I updated software & firmware (SMC. ?!) the only way I can solve this problem is restore Mac OsX.
Why it can't reboot?
How to fix it without restore Mac OsX?
If I am not ubdate any thing my computer will be ok for long term?
Please advise.

Welcome to the forum.
There are a few things to try.
1. Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance
2. If that doesn't work, you can try installing the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo update over the top. It has been known to solve some issues.
3. If that doesn't work either, and you don't have DiskWarrior to try, you can consider performing an Archive & Install which will preserve your files, applications, etc and give you a fresh installation of OSX.

HT1414 My Ipod Touch have a black screen when an app shut down and I can not shut down the Ipod. The screen is still black and I did the press two buttons solution and it doesn't work. What I have to do now?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 and later can not be installed on OSX 10.6.8.

Hi
I bought a new Canon EOS 5D mark 3 and noticed that my MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 can not handle the new raw files.
Searching google shown that I need Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 or later.
So I tried with 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14, but all failed during installation with error: "Dieses Update unterstützt nur Aperture 3 und iPhoto 9."
Hmmm
Checking iPhoto ...
About IPHOT shows "Iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424)"
So I've updated Iphoto with version 9.2.1 (which I found matching my OSX after stepping down from highest version down ..... Apple is here not really supporting users here .......)
Unfortunately this is only an update.
So I need to install first a newer Iphoto version.
Iphoto 11 I can buy in the app store, but I can not install it on OS/X 10.6.8 .....
Lost!
How do I get my raw files of 5Dm3 visible in OSX 10.6.8 ???????
Any help welcome
Thx
Wolfgang

I maintain up to date my system, yet I have from time to time when I take RAW picture issues in iPhoto not reading them. Today, looking for another issue I came across this update and I was hopping it would resolve my issues with the RAW photos from my Pentax K-30.
The error:
Installer quit unexpectedly.
Click Reopen to open the app again. Click Report to see more detail information and send to Apple.

This laptop cannot be upgraded further without hindering its performance. Hence, I need to keep the version of iPhoto that I currently have.
Thank you for your response.

Macbook Pro won't boot mac osx and files are not backed up!

I have a macbook pro 13" (mid-2010) model. I upgraded the HDD from a 500 GB to a 1TB and the RAM from 4GB to 8GB.
From when I upgraded the laptop till about a week ago, it was working fine - I partitioned the 1 TB into 2 parts using bootcamp I installed windows 7 operating system and on the other part I have snow leopard. Since lion osx and mountain lion osx were released i updated my mac os.
Basically the problem is that I was recently watching a movie on my laptop and then all of a sudden it was stuck and I decided to restart my computer by doing a forced shut down and from then on my mac os stopped working - it would always go to the white apple screen and then would not start. I then went into disk utility and it said that the mac hdd partition is damaged and could not be repaired and that I should start backing up as much data as I could.
Since I upgraded the hardware myself - the warranty that covers the computer is basically nulled. Please help I need to back up my files and repair my HDD. I am more concerned with backing up and saving all my data and I am willing to replace and buy a new HDD if necessary!
oh and one more thing the windows part of my HDD is still accesible which means that the HDD itself is not fully damaged.
If anyone can help me - I would appreciate it!

Since I upgraded the hardware myself - the warranty that covers the computer is basically nulled.
Warranty is not made void by upgrading memory or storage. If you have AppleCare then you should be fine.
Disk Utility is powerful, but not the most powerful tool out there. There might be other applications (sometimes expensive) that can fix the volume. If your Windows partition works but not the Mac partiiton that leads me to believe the issue is solvable.
Can you read the Mac files from your Windows partition?

I just updated my iTunes and now can not access it at all. I click on the icon and it flashes, then nothing.

Hello,
I installed the updates that iTunes has been bugging me to install for a long time now and now I can't access iTunes at all.
Also, my mac is now extremely slow in opening other programs.
I've rebooted the computer twice.
Thanks,

Hi thanks i just finished uninstalling itunes, i restarted my computer and then reinstalled itune and now the ipod is being recongnised but i tells me "this ipod can not be used because the apple mobile device is not started"what does this mean?

I put pictures on my iphone when i first got it and i can not see them when i look for them now

I need to get ride of photos that are on my phone but I can not find them when the phone is hooked up. How can I find them?

If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

We have a new mac book and i can not connect to the internet

I am setting up a new mac book and the wireless is not connecting to the internet. I have gone to airport express in utilities but it does not give me any options for set up. I have a mac and we use wireless with a dsl modem.

If your Mac is new you should call AppleCare. Telephone support is free for the first 90 days of ownership.

I have updated my PSE9 and still can not open the RAW files from my new camera, I get an error?

I bought a new camera (Canon T5i) and took photos in RAW, tried to open them in PSE9 and they wouldn't open. I got the following error...
Canon RAW Codec found a new CR2 file that is not supported by the installed version.
You can download the Canon RAW Codec update program from the link below.
(Canon Server)
I have been to the link & downloaded what update it had. I have also done the available updates on my PSE9 and I am still getting this error messge. When I called Canon regarding this they said I needed to contact Adobe.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing so I can open these files???

The T5 is supported by Camera RAW 8.4 which needs PSE12. You can use the Canon software to convert RAW to TIF or the Adobe DNG Converter. The converter will convert the CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format that will open in PSE9's RAW processor. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.

IOS6 and update my iphone4 and I can not use bluetooth

el dia de ayer actulice mi iPhone 4, 16 GB con la nueva version de iOS6 y al querer usar bluetooth este no se puede activar.

We don't know that; in fact it actually looks more like it's a problem with various Bluetooth manufacturers, as many devices work just fine with iOS 6.

My playlists only appear in itunes when my ipod is connected, and it will not allow me to drag songs into playlists from the music library, can anyone help. Have downloaded newest version of itunes and using windows xp.

My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP. Thanks

Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
Hope this helps!

TS1362 I have a Mac Pro tower, am running osx and iTunes will not work.. It basically just stopped working after having run faultlessly for...years... I can see all the songs, playlists etc, but the progress bar will not progress..it's 'stuck'. Suggestion

I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is 'stuck'...any suggestions?

Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

I currently have a mac osx, and my CC keeps coming saying its expired, when it should be running the CS6 design standard. So how do I get my platform to use the CS6 as my default instead of the CC one.

or the family pack of 5 licenses

Buy it quick, as many feel that when Mountain Lion comes out SL disks will go to the secondary market at more than $29 for single or $49 for family-pack
Make a good backup first, preferably a clone, as you may need it if the upgrade does fail.

I received an Keynote update notice on my Mac Air. I updated and now can not get into my saved keynote docs. I am being asked to upgrade again and purchase the upgrade. Anyone else having this issue?

Try this repair, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, use Appcleaner from Mac Update to           do this, its freeware
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and           click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
Please report back to let us know if this helped.
