    Why can't I open itunes after installing Lion?

    I do not know what to tell you. iTunes is working fine on my system. What don't you give a little information about your system and when this problem began on your mac.

  • Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion

    Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion. I have a Laice 1 terabyte external drive that worked fine with Snow Leopard and now no show ... tried connecting it to front port and Mac Pro can't see it. Also lost Office,Quicken, and Final Cut Pro  says: " You can't open application because Power PC apps are no longer supported" this is Not a good surprise!

    Does the drive work when just directly connected? If so, have you prepped the drive?
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Why can't I open Quark 8 with Lion?

    Why can't I open Quark 8 with Lion? How can I de activate Lion?

    Hi David,
    David Armstrong (SE) wrote:
    Hmmm, I might be a little wrong in my earlier statement.
    Yes, QuarkXPress 7.01 (and higher), released August 2006, and QuarkXPress 8.x are both universal binary builds. QuarkXPress 9 is actually Intel-only.
    And though v8 and v9 should under Lion, Quark will officially support Lion with QuarkXPress 9.1, a free update to Version 9, scheduled for end of this month.
    Version 9.1 will also contain App Studio to export rich designs for the iPad.

  • Can't get comcast mail after installing Lion

    Hi All,
    I've read a lot about problems with Comcast emails after Lion has been installed but couldn't find anything that was just like my situation.
    I just installed Lion and created iCloud last night and this morning when I went to check my emails in Apple Mail I found that one of my Comcast email addresses would not connect.
    I have 4 Comcast email addresses and one other address.   All of the addresses are working like they should except one of the Comcast addresses.
    I can send email from the address but can't receive anything.
    I seem to remember during the setting up process for iCloud I was asked to choose 3 security questions and answers and to  provide an email address which I think would be used in the event I forgot my security answers, but I'm not quite certain of it's purpose.
    Anyhow the email address I gave them for that purpose was the one Comcast address that  does not work now, so I have a feeling that somehow the problem is with Apple and iCloud but not sure about that.
    I've read lots of posts that are similar to mine but in their case none of the Comcast emails would work at all.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions that I can try to fix this problem.
    Thanks

    Problem Solved,   I'll put it down to  operator error.
    After checking out the Preferences for Mail and for that one particular email address I found that the password had one too many digits so I reentered the password and it worked just fine.
    Don't ask me how come the extra digit as I haven't had any  reason to go into Mail Preferences for months and all of the addresses were working fine until after  loading Lion.

  • Problem opening iTunes after installing Lion

    I just installed lion.  When I try to open iTunes it says it cannot read my library because it was created by a newer version.  It asks me if I wannt to download iTunes.  What should I do to fix this?

    Uninstall QuickTime then download the file again and reinstall QuickTime. iTunes needs a functional QuickTime in order to operate properly. I had the same error, and iTunes has been working fine.

  • TS3212 I have downloaded iTunes, but every time I click on the link it does not open. Why can I not open iTunes after downloading?

    I have deleted old versions and uploaded the new version. Now that I have completed the install, I cannot open iTunes. I double click it on desktop and it shows thinking symbol for one second and doesn't open. I go through the start menu and it does the same thing. Help!! Please.

    Can you check something for me please?
    Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
    Now try to launch iTunes.
    Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

  • Why can't I start Mac after installing Windows using boot camp???

    I'm new to Mac.... Have installed Windows 7 through Bootcamp... Well, I tried to at least!!  I can now only get into Windows every time I start the mac up.... What have I done wrong - and how do I fix it!?!

    Thanks Vinmar.... I can't see anything down on the bottom fit of my screen, apart from the time, date, connectivity, speaker volume etc. am I looking in the wrong place??
    The restart in Mac OS X icon (a grey diamond) will only appear after you've installed the Boot Camp drivers. If you installed the drivers, try clicking on the sideways triangle to show any hidden system tray icons.  You can also use the boot camp control panel to restart in Mac OS X.
    For how many partitions you have, you should be able to see those in the Disk Utility application in Mac OS X or the Disk Management app in Windows.  Be careful not to delete any of them.  If you want to remove a partition, I'd use the Boot Camp Utility to do that.  Nore as well that OS X 10.7 and above add a hidden recovery partition to your drive that you won't see in Disk Utility but will see in the Windows app. 
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Why can't I open photos after updating an iphoto Library on new computer?

    I have saved a 13,000 photos from my old Mac onto a hard disc, and am now trying to import those photos onto a new Mac computer.
    When I copied the 2012 iPhoto Library onto my new computer, a prompt came up to tell me that the Library needed to be updated in order to be used on this computer. So I followed the steps and it seems to have successfully updated itself. But see all the photos when I scroll through the Library... but, when I try to click to open it, I get a HAZARD sign -- triangle with a big exclamation mark.
    Please, can someone advise how I get my old photos onto my new computer?
    Thanks. Corinna

    That sign turns up when iPhoto loses the connection to the actual file.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why can't I open Illustrator after downloading a free trial?

    I have successfully downloaded Illustrator and Photoshop but keep on receiving a message telling me that either my computer is offline or the clock on my computer is set incorrectly, causing a connection error. Neither of these is true. Can anyone help?

    Thanks, I tried the live help yesterday and spent nearly two hours with them without any success. Then I called my computer engineer son to come over ( I normally try not to bother him). He uninstalled my firewall protection, and got another one on. That seemed to sort out all sorts of problems. However he thinks I have a fundamental problem with the way the machine is set up, so it may only be a temporary situation. However I finally have Illustrator opened!

  • Can I bootcamp snow leopard after installing Lion

    So I got a macbook pro 13 inch. in July (it came with Snowleopard) so I bought lion and installed it. My question is whether I can use the snowleopard disk that came with my mac and make a bootcamp with it. Because I downloaded a few games that are not compatible with lion (powerpc) so I was wondering whether that disk that came with my mac was a recovery disk or if i can use it and make a bootcamp without losing everything

    While the subject is open, please verify/deny ...
    BootCamp requires a 1-partition internal disk to make the partition.  If one creates a second partition for SL, then BootCamp for Windows will not work.
    I would like to know for myself at least.

  • Why can't i open wmv videos in Lion?

    since upgrading to Lion we cannot open .wmv.  Why?

    Because it's a windows format.  You need Flip4Mac to convert it to a Mac format.

  • Can't get wifi connection after installing lion osx

    I upgraded my OSX to Lion, and ever since i am unable to pull a connection to my wifi, neither at home nor at work. I have tried almost everything... I even reinstalled all of my software and NADA..... And needless to say it took me the whole saturday to do it, since it is recommended to start with the Discs that originally came with the computer..
    I´m on the verge of hating my computer!!!
    PLEASE HELP....

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion
