View 2 Repliesi've upgraded my system to snow leopard last night.
I have been editing .mov files in Adobe Premiere.. and since i have upgraded to snow leopard it doesn't recognise the .mov files in premiere or quick time.. how can i solve this problem as my work meets its dead line in 3 hours!
why my Macbook Air will not recognise my wifi router when my MAcBook Pro and Iphone do immediately. I have switched airport on and off on my Macbook air repeatedly and it will not pick up the wifi that my Pro and Iphone immediately recognise and connect to. After 20 minutes or so of switching airport on and off, it found the router and I successfully connected. After use, I powered down the MAcbook air and crossed fingers that having connected once it would recognise the router again unfortunately not another frustrating 20 minutes of trying despite my other apple devices remaining connected.

MacBook Air, iOS 5.1
When i start my macbook air, its suddenly came out a question mark with a folder ( seems that it doesn't recognise the hardisk). I try many time to restart and its the same. Then i try to restart using macbook air install disk and press C button to reinstall the leopard but when installation , it cant recognise my hardisk.

I've talked to Apple who believe it's the motherboard but shouldn't the ports have failed completely if that's so? Machine is a Macbook Pro 15" Intel Core i5Â 2.4 GHz running Snow Leopard (tried Lion but lost too many good apps under that system). Also if I unmount my external back up drive, it's not recognised again unless I restart or interrupt power to the external USB 2 drive. Almost like the old serial devices!
Did a total erase and reinstall of Snow Leopard 10.6.8, tried a powered hub and Apple had me do all the usual key combo resets all to no avail so it looks like I'm going to need a muthaboard. It just nags me that it still sees USB 2 only. How can it fail just a bit and then stay that way??

Why when I open an app (i.e. Word) some of the files I previously worked on also load/open? How do I prevent this from happening?

My MacBook was working fine until in the last few days it stopped recognising some clicks with the mouse, and sometimes the clicks got stuck so that whenever I tried to move the cursor, it recognised as if I was dragging things when I was no longer clicking. This gradually got worse until it completely stopped working..The mousepad works fine at moving the cursor but I can't click on anything. I've tried to use an external mouse and the same problem occurs.I've tried all the restarting, removing battery, starting on safemode, etc. tricks, and nothing seems to work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just acquired a second-hand iBook G3 (Mac OS X 10.3.9) and I can't connect to my BT HomeHub using the AirPort. I can connect using a cable and the previous owner had no problems with the AirPort. My PC is connected to the BT HomeHub fine.
The AirPort is on and I can see the correct BTHH network in the list. When I try to connect I get the error message "There was an error joining the AirPort network 'BTHomeHub etc." I know this is a common error message but I've been through lots of forums and haven't found any advice that has worked. I tried stuff like cleaning up the keychains and adding '$' to my password.
It could be a problem with my password, because I've tried the Admin password on the back of the hub, the Wireless key BT gave me on the 'Wireless Settings' card, and the password I use for wireless internet on my PC. Does anyone know which one ought to work?
When I go into the AirPort menu and click on Internet Connect, 'AirPort Power' is 'on', there is no signal, and it says 'Base Station ID: Not available'. Do I need to reset my Base Station?
If anyone can help I will be soooo grateful. Thanks.

have recently acquired a Power Mac G4 using OSX which has a SCSI card installed in one of the PCI slots.
I have a very reliable Agfa scanner(Snapscan 310) which is over 10 years old but has always given me excellent quality and I'm reluctant to replace it. Even though I've re-installed the software from the original Agfa installation disk, every time I try to use the scanner through Adobe Photoshop in Classic mode, a message pops up asking me to turn on the scanner which of course it already is!!
I have just bought a new iMac. I also have an Ipad 3. I have an itunes account. I downloaded itunes on the iMac. Then I plugged in the Ipad and clicked authorise purchases. I stopped it from synching from this library which would have wiped out iPad. Now how do I sign in to my existing itunes account on my new iMac? it doesnt accept my Apple ID or password or even my birthday if I try verify?

I have a 24 inch iMac which was virtually silent. Last week the hard drive started failing so Apple replaced it under my AppleCare warranty. The trouble is now I constantly hear the new hard drive reading data, even when I?m listening to music I can hear the hard drive in the background which is very annoying. I never heard any noise from the original hard drive. I did notice that the replacement drive is a Seagate unit where the original drive was a WD. I called Apple again and they want me to bring it into the Apple Store again. I just don?t want to be going back and forth with this thing and not have anything improve. Shouldn?t I get it back from repair exactly the same as it originally was? I wonder if I they can specify what brand hard drive Apple sends to the store.

Now that I have recovered my existing system (which did involve a full wipe of HD, internet recovery and an update again from ML to mavericks).Â
My restored system does not recognise the back up drive as a time machine and it would appear I cannot append any future backups to this TM.Â
I would have to wipe the disk and start again which I did not particularly want to do.Â

is there anyway of forcing the installer? is there something else i can do to give the installer "root" access?
I've been having problems with my iMac recently, more precisely with my DVD drive. I think it's a software problem, and no mechanical problem. Let me explain:Â
When I insert a DVD:
- it will sometimes work perfectly. I can read, burn or whatever I feel like…
- it will sometimes not work. I don't know why, but the drive gives a few try (mechanical noises), and than ejects the DVD. If I try a few more times to reinsert it, it will sometimes just keep the DVD and not eject it, without recognizing it. When I try to open the Disk Utility program, it will simply froze. Or it will open after 5 minutes, but the DVD player will not exist and not appear.Â
I need to restart the computer. Sometimes it will work after the restart. Sometimes not. It's really random, and I haven't found out on what it depends… Sometimes, when I reboot it because of a trapped-unrecognized DVD, the DVD player will not open. "Initialization error [-70012]"…Â
I've tried Option-Cmd-P-R at the Start, but it didn't help… I feel like there's something wrong with the software.Â
It's a 2 years old iMac, using Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8).Â
I've tried looking on the net, but a lot of people are experiencing mechanical problems (it simply never works), which I think is not the case here (it does randomly work perfectly).

However Ive just bought a LG M2794D 1080p tv/monitor and now have a problem. The TV is showing it recognises when the HDMI cable is connected to the macbook (on the screen the input menu shows live connections) or not through HDMI cable and mini-DVI to HDMI connector but the macbook does not recognise any external monitor. In display preferences there is no arrangement tab either and no resolution greater than 1280 x 800. Of course the TV has full 1080p resolution.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis week my G5 started getting flaky. (Mac Pro G5, Model 5.1 2x2.4 GHz Quad Core with 24 GB RAM OS 10.6.8) Apps that I've been working with started not saving files, trying to open files not working. If I drag and drop a file on the app icon it will open. Sometimes I get a "Could not Open because of a disk read error" and "Could not save because of a disk read error" message. If I do a shortcut Cmd+S file will save or if I close window with out saving, I get the prompt to "save file...OK" and that works. If I go to Page setup, the dialog box comes up but is blank, with a Settings drop down that doesn't really do anything. I've used disk utility to repair permissions,..several times. I have set up another account and get the same results. It seems to be hitting all my apps. I have run techtool pro and everything it can check is fine. I have Sophos Antivirus on this Mac and it finds nothing.
