Why won't GB open anymore after the 10.7.4 update?

I recenty updated the software to 10.7.4 & now GarageBand won't open. I try to open a project with it but it gives me an error message saying something about MIDI...I have no idea what to do and i'm guessing it really is because of the update. If anyone knows what I can do let me know please, [email protected] thanks in advance.

Glad it is working. As for the ownership on your home folder, before tinkering you might try running the list all, long command and see what it reports:
ls -al /Users
I have two users, myself and test account. Here's what mine says:
NoobiX:~ francine$ ls -al /Users
total 88
drwxr-xr-x@ 7 root admin 238 Jan 26 15:01 .
drwxrwxr-t@ 37 root admin 1326 Feb 23 11:35 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Sep 23 17:43 .localized
drwxrwxrwt 16 root wheel 544 Feb 14 11:29 Shared
drwxr-xr-x@ 44 francine staff 1496 Feb 26 08:27 francine
drwxr-xr-x@ 16 revelator staff 544 Feb 23 14:58 revelator
You can see that the "francine" home folder belongs to francine, group staff, the same as is reported by the id command. Let's see what yours says. Yours should say Miller, group Miller.
The numerical uid and gid depend on the particular user and group. The 501 is the first admin user created. The second user is 502. The old private groups from Tiger had the same number for the group as for the user, thus the 502 user would be a member of the 502 group. The staff group is 20, the admin group is 80. What you are getting (502 and 502) means that at some point you deleted the very first user and started using a second account, and that you upgraded to Leopard rather than doing an erase and install, as I ended up doing (after getting disgusted with all the bolixed up group permissions problems). Leopard switched back to the UNIX standard of having users be members of the staff group rather than private groups. I know, more information than you ever wanted to have!
Leopard also introduced the new Guest account, which can actually be quite handy. If you have someone who is visiting and wants to use your computer to check their email or do a little web surfing you can log yourself out and let them log in as Guest. The permissions are fairly restricted, there is no password, and all their stuff is deleted when they log out.

Why won't SSH/SFTP work after the 10.6.8 update?

I've tried just about eveything I can think of and have been googling information for awhile now but I figure I just ask the community!
I just recently updated to 10.6.8 and now I cannot remotely log into our Linux machine running RedHat. Strange because my computer is the only one that seems to have a problem with this and it was working just fine before the update. Sometimes I'll get a "Connection Refused" error msg and other times I'll get a "Connection Timeout" error msg. I typically use the NoMachine NX client to log in, but even the ssh commands from the X11 or Mac terminal give me the same error messages. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Any help is appreciated, thanks!!

Unfortunately... the MBP shut down after some minute... also in safe mode !!!! The problem is not solved !
Next step, boot in safe mode again and log in do this first:
On the menu bar go to the "Go" option menu.
Then go to utilities.
Open disk utility
Click on your Mac OS X Partition (Macintosh HD in most cases)
Click "Verify Disk"
If the results say "Macintosh HD appears to be OK", run it a second time just to make sure.
If the volume structure is OK then click the "Repair Permissions" button.
Shut down and reboot normally.
If repairing permissions does not work, you'll have to try and install the combo update. But before we go through that run the steps I suggested above. I would suggest however to download the 10.6.8 combo update to a usb stick in case we have to reinstall it.
Good Luck!

Pages does not open anymore after the latest update

I did all suggested problem solving steps, but after the last update Pages does not open anymore.
It opens a window and immediately crashes again.
I paid for it, and I used it for my business - and I'm so angry, that there is no support for apps in fact...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Turn off iCloud for Pages on your mobile device at Settings > Pages > Use iCloud > Off.
Open Pages on your computer and move any documents in iCloud to your desktop for safe keeping.
Navigate to system preferences > iCloud > Manage and check that Pages documents are not taking any space in the cloud, delete them if they are.
Enable iCloud syncing for Pages on your mobile device and launch the App.
If Pages now opens properly, start to add back documents from your desktop one at a time (or in small groups if you have many).

Simply will not open anymore after the update. Running Maverick on a brand new iMac . . .Solutions?

I've uninstalled . . . then went all the way back to iWork 08 . . . which opens just fine. Then downloaded/installed the update. It just won't open.

My phone does not open anymore, after the battery has been empty.

My phone?s battery turned off, it was empty. I plugged it and it never came back to life It's been 72 hours though... What could I do??

You could try another charger but it's possible that won't help. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

Why won't pages open my document even tho it is updated

Pages says I need to update to a newer version to open documents, but it is updated, there is not an old version stored on the Mac and it still wont open?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

My mac mini wont activate screen saver anymore after the os x latest updated. how do i fix this?

ever since the new update after ios6 came out, the screensaver wont activate after 5min like it used to. any reason why? can this be fixed?

Couple of things it might br...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect .plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect .plist.lockfile
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist.lockfile
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

Why won't files open in the space that the application is assigned to?

I have applications assigned to specific spaces, however, if I am in space 2 and I click to open an Adobe Illustrator (assiged to space 3) file, spaces will send me to space 3 but the file window will open in space 2 (where I was). I have to use F8 to view the spaces and drag it over to the assigend sapce. If i try to work on it in spaces 2 (where it opened) my pallets are blank. Any ideas?

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be? I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?
