  • Why doesn't my card reader work when I take it from the camera and put it in the reader? Nothing happens and it doesn't show up in finder.

    When I put my card into the reader, nothing happens. It doesn't show up in finder so I can't dismount it. The pictures on it aren't readeable all of a sudden, except for two of them, and that's all that would download to iphoto, but I had to connect the camera since the card reader doesn't resond.

    Hi bricknut dab,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Are you asking about the SD slot on your Mac, or is this an external card reader plugged into a USB port?  If it is the one on your Mac, the article below may be helpful.  Did you try more than one SD card?  You can use Disc Utility to erase and reformat the card if needed.

    I put the card in the slot, but it did not mount.  What should I do?
    Remove the card and insert it again. Sometimes, if you put the SD card into the slot too slowly, it may not mount properly.
    Can I reformat an SD card with Disk Utility?
    Yes. Using Disk Utility, you can partition and format an SD device as FAT32 (using the MS-DOS FAT setting) or Mac OS Extended. The Mac OS Extended format can only be used on Macintosh systems. Cards formatted to Mac OS Extended will not be recognized by non-Apple systems. Formatting cards larger than 32GB for use with digital cameras, GPS, and other devices may require formatting them with the exFAT file system. When in doubt, format the cards in the device you intend to use with the card.
    Cheers,

  • HT1222 Why won't my Apple PW work when I'm trying to update iOS? Plz help!

    Hello~
    I am trying to update from iOS 7.1 to iOS 7.1.1.  When I enter my Apple PW, (the PW I used to log on to this site) it says it's invalid. What I'm I missing? I really have no other ideas as to what PW's it could be asking for. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

    Since the update verifies you by your Apple ID, it needs the password that is associated with your apple ID (which may be different from the password you use here with your user name). So, you need to use the password you use to purchase apps, music, etc.

  • Why did my airplay mirroring stop working when I downloaded the most recent update yesterday?

    Yesterday, I open up my computer and I received a notification.  The notification said new software update, so I up the app store and get my update.  I sit down to work on words with my daughter using the airplay mirroring feature and I am stymied.  It is not popping up in neither my menu bar nor the display tab of system preferences. 

    I just needed a restart of my apple television.  Thanks Apple support . . .

  • When I downloaded Lion why did my microsoft word not work, When I downloaded Lion why did my microsoft word not work

    Help!!  My Microsoft Work does not work with Lion!!  Now all my doc will not open

    Because Office 2004 is a PPC-only suite and will not work with Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011 for OS X. Or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, whose functionality is similar to Office 2007 for Windows.

  • Apple API Error when trying to upload app in application loader, help?

    I'm trying to upload my app to application loader and it keeps showing up this error. Your app contains non-API usage. I used zip files for the choose file thing. So how do I get rid of this error and send my app to apple?

    You're going to have a very hard time with what you're trying to do it if you don't know the basics or have enough curiosity to look things up on your own - Google is your friend for API and the hundreds of other abbreviations, acronyms and technical phrases you will eventually encounter.
    As for file type to upload, see:
    iTunes Connect Developer Guide
         Adding New Apps 
         Managing Your App 
    Good luck.

    Why doesn’t my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

    Yes, otherwise some people might have to walk up to the third floor and turn on iMac,
    and then go back down to living room in order to stream form iTunes. My iMac is close,
    but not in same room. There must be something I don't have set up right.

  • Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Hey MarieF-D,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides basic troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    Note: When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
    For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
