Reset the SMC > Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Zap the PRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

  • I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord).  The result is that the project would not load

    I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord).  The result is that the project would not load in the edit Projects window.  I can see the file in the finder window and it will launch iMovie but the file itself will not load in the projects window.
    I have contacted apple support and they tried to do a few things... to no available.
    With my limited knowledge of file structures I assume that the header file must be corrupt.
    Is there a 3rd party utility that can decompile and fix the file structure so it will load properly.  I've been working on this project since june and would hate to have to redo the whole thing again.

  • HT1551 When use AirPlay to watch hbo go from my iPad on through my tv using Apple TV suddenly it stops and I get an error message that it needs to be played back using hdcp something or other.  Then I can't get it to come back on. Any ideas what is going

    When I use airplay to watch hbo go through Apple TV it starts running. However for no apparent reason it will suddenly stop and the error message that I need hdcp something comes on and then I cannot continue watching it. It is so random happening after 40 min of viewing or 15 min or sometimes not letting it start at all. Support topics are no help. Any ideas?

  • HT204053 I updated to I0S6 but when I go to update my apps I get error message that I need IOS5

    I updated to I0S6 but when I go to update my apps I get error message that I need IOS5! Why am I getting that message after already updating to IOS6?

    The Apps are probably a bit behind and have not been updated to work with iOS6 yet.

  • I was installing an update when I got the error message that the MSVCR80.dll file was missing.  It wants me to reload itunes.  What do I do?

    I was installing an update when I ogt the error message that the MSVCR80.dll file was missing and windows error 126.  What do I do?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • How do I apply special effects to a track when I keep getting error message that "Could not find layout Default Reverb GB"?

    How do I apply special effects to a track in GarageBand when I keep getting error message that says"Could not find layout Default Reverb GB"?

    I go to  Applications to see if
    GarageBand has changed and dthere is no change, still 1.42GB of file size ‹
    no evidence of the 10+ GB that the installer told me I was downloading, no
    evidence in my download folder that I downloded anything, and most
    important, when I click on ³Effects² I¹m back to the same error  message.
    I¹ve been at this now for about 3 hours.
    Downloading the extra content will take a very long time.
    When the download has finished, the prompt for the password will appear and the installer will continue to run in the background.
    Let t run. As long as GarageBand is still installing, it will give a warning, when you try to quit.
    When you can quit GarageBand without a warning, restart your Mac.
    The size of the GarageBand application will not change, but you should be seeing more loops. They are installed in the System Library, and the folder "Library" on your Macintosh HD should by now be 10GB larger.

    Trying to install flash player on a Mac. I keep getting an error message that I need to turn close Safari to continue. I don't have Safari open. How do I get past this impediment?

    What Pat said:
    Open Safari
    From the upper-left of the screen, choose Safari > Quit Safari
    You can now proceed with the installation.

  • II have downloaded several Apps that state they work with iTouch but they will not install and give error message that I need updated software, while all my updates available are installed on both iTouch and my computer iTunesWhy will Mindtools app not

    My iPod Touch will not function with certain updated apps ie MindTools, YP.com, Mint, Ymessenger etc and I get the error message that I need to install updated software to load these apps to my iPod Touch; however, I have double checked and all the software updates have been loaded in obht the iPod touch and my computer. There are no updates availabe; yet the error message on App is a software update is required for App. "was not installed because it requires a newer version of iPod software."
    The iPod Touch is using 3.1.3 software and it tells me that is the current and updated software version.

    You are correct in that your 1G iPod Touch has all the latest software updates.  It can only be updated to version 3.1. 
    However that Apps you are trying to download and install likely require iOS version 4.0 or later, which is not compatible with your iPod Touch.  So either you'll need to buy a newer iPod Touch or find other Apps that are suitable replacements if possible. 
    Sorry.

  • HT1338 App Store updates:  Repeated Error message saying I must sign in, though I already did.  , I click on update, Error message that I need to sign in to the same account I already signed in.

    App Store updates:  I sign in, my password is accepted, I click on update, and still get the error message that I need to sign in to the same account I already signed in at.  What do I have to do to get my app updates?

    Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
    1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
    Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
    2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
    3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
    4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
    5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
    Then repeat step 4.
    6. Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
    7. Launch iTunes and select
    Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
    from the menu bar.
    8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.

  • After upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and iTunes 11 on my PC, I plugged my iPhone into my PC and got the error message that I needed to install iTunes 11 on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

    After upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and iTunes 11 on my PC, I plugged my iPhone into my PC and got the error message that I needed to install iTunes 11 on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

    You got it downloaded and I assume you mean it is installed as well.  It was buggy for me.
    I had to close and restarted iTunes before I could use it properly.
    Then, I had to unplug and replug in my phone before it recognises it.
    Just had to try everything.  As final choice, update over the air.  I try to avoid it as it tends to have more problems than a tethered update.

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
