I just imported some photos into IPhoto 09 and shortly afterwards my IMac did a hard shut down. Now when I open IPhoto I get the following error:
The Photo Library nees to be upgraded to work with this version of IPhoto.
After that I click on upgrade and get the following msg:
Can't open current photo library using this version of Iphoto.
My macbook running mavericks froze earlier today with everything but the mouse becoming unresponsive, since then I have tried rebooting in safe mode (which has been fine) and then normally a number of times, but everytime I do I always end up with the same problem i started with. I managed to get activity monitor open before it froze the last time and found that mds_stores is running at 99.9% CPU.Â
I understand that it is in relation to spotlight but have spotlight set to look at nothing in system prefs.Â
is there any way I can start up without the system remembering to start the process that is causing mds_stores to run as I feel this is the problem. I have tried quitting the process in activity monitor to no avail.
I just updated the OS to 10.9.4, and in the ~6 hours since doing so, my computer has locked up twice. Right in the middle of doing a task, all response ceases except for mouse movement. Three-finger salute is ineffective, and the only solution is the power button.Â
Is it possible to roll back to 10.9.3?Â
I have a 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB of RAM
Macbook Pro (or whatever it is called now) with Retina display, 256GB SSDÂ
I've got two interfaces, in this order:Â
1. Wi-Fi connection to Apple time capsule that links to the internet - 10.0.1.9Â
2. LAN connection to ISP that links to the internet -Â 10.0.2.250Â
This works perfectly well, however, I would like to rout traffic through the second link, not just have it as a fail-over.Â
So, I use the route command, like this:Â route -n add -host 197.242.144.171 10.0.2.250route -n add -host 197.242.144.175 10.0.2.250route -n add -host 173.194.41.182 10.0.2.250Â
This doesn't give any errors and a netstat -nr shows
197.242.144.171Â Â Â 10.0.2.250Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â UGHSÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1Â Â Â Â en0197.242.144.175Â Â Â 10.0.2.250Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â UGHSÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â en0173.194.41.182Â Â Â Â 10.0.2.250Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â UGHSÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â 12Â Â Â Â en0Â
If, though, I try trace route, this is what I get:Â traceroute 197.242.144.175traceroute to 197.242.144.175 (197.242.144.175), 64 hops max, 52 byte packetstraceroute: sendto: Cannot allocate memory1 traceroute: wrote 197.242.144.175 52 chars, ret=-1Â
It looks as if, somehow, the route command is corrupting the normal routin

I have an older macbook 3,1 running Mavericks OS and recently one of my left USB ports has not been:
1) able to eject external hard drives plugged into it (I have to force eject)-instead it gives me a message that one or more programs may be using it (even though I don't have any programs using it). The hard drive is being powered by USB has a 3.0 connection although this wasn't a problem in the past... I tried the other USB port and it can eject just fine from that port.
2)Intermittent communication with mouse. Not sure if this is a hardware issue but when I try to run diagnostics on this laptop by holding down the "D" key at startup it doesn't take me to diagnostics. I no longer have the discs for this laptop (containing said hardware test) so I can't boot the diagnostics from that discs.
In lieu of a hardware test I opened CONSOLE and did a search for USB and there were a couple of these messages:Â
8/29/14 12:13:43.000 AM kernel[0]: **** [IOBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport][SuspendDevice] -- Suspend -- suspendDeviceCallResult = 0x0000 (kIOReturnSuccess) -- 0xdc00 ****Â Â
Is this a logic board issue? Would rolling my OS back to pre-Mavericks work? The problem didn't emerge right when I updated to Mavericks however I have had luck changing OS stuff (updating or rolling back) with faulty USBs...Â
Here are other troubleshooting methods I have attempted with no success:Â -Disk Utlity (repair disk and permissions)
-RESET PRAM NVRAM
-Remove battery
-RESET SMC
-Shut Down
-Run Disk Utility @ startupÂ
I'd like to get access to a Hardware Test compatible with my macbook. The links I have found online are to incomplete files.

Since doing a clean install of Mavericks (which solved a ReportCrash loop problem), everything has been fine except..for some reason the 3.5mm headphone port refuses to acknowledge the existence of headphones when plugged in. The internal speakers do not cut out. No sound comes through the headphones. If I go into Systems Preferences/Sound/Output there is no option for headphones sound, just internal speakers.Â
I have tried everything (deleting .plist files and rebooting, booting in safe mode, PRAM resets etc etc). I have also tried various sets of headphones (mono, stereo and three ring headphone plugs). They all don't work on my MacBook Pro, they all do work (and make the internal speakers cut out) on my MacBook Air. It's not the headphones.Â
The port will happily recognize, charge and download my iPod nano. I am convinced this is an OS problem, as the port has not suffered any shocks, and it happened directly after a clean Mavericks install. It was working fine on Mavericks before the clean install.Â

Saved my .AI file I was working on, the power shut down in the office and when I restarted my computer, the file was 2 previous saves before. I lost important info. Is there a way to find a hidden file from somewhere in outer space to access the most saved version of the file. I DO save my files often to avoid some basic issues, but this one seems like a software glitch.

The computer is completely unresponsive and won't shut down or turn off. It is stuck in Set Up Assistant after trying to sign in to AppleID. Attempting to shut down or restart produces the following dialogue:Â "The application Set Up Assistant has cancelled shut down. To try shutting down again, quit Setup Assistant and click Try Again."Â
HOWEVER it is impossible to quick Set Up Assistant— the icon is completely unresponsive even to force quit, right click or anything.I've managed to get into being able to see Dashboard and at the top Desktop and the dock below. But I can't click on anything from there. So it seems it is not the whole computer.
Updated to 10.9.4 today. Soon afterwards I plugged my TV into the HDMI port of my Mac. The monitor immediately went blank and even after I unplugged the TV, it remained so. I tried restarting via the Mac's on/off switch to no avail. Finally, I unplugged the electric cord from the Mac mini; replugged it in and was able to turn the computer on.Â
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have used ssh port forwarding in the past,I have recently upgraded to Mavericks, but it does appear that my ssh port forwarding stopped some time before this. The last time I know it worked was 5/14/14, and feel it has worked more recently as well.Â
from my Mac I ssh to my work jump server (port 22, let's say its IP is 11.22.33.44), and my jump server has access to work PC (lets say IP of 10.1.2.3). My work PC has RDP running on it on the common port 3389. I have verified that I can set up a working RDP session at work from another box. Also, I know that my jump server can get to my PC at work as I can ping my work IP if I just ssh straight to my jump server. And I know that there is no firewall stopping me from the jump server as I can also open a telnet session to my work PC on port 3389, without errors.Â
how I have done it in the past and it has worked, but now recently stopped working in Terminal app:Â
ssh -f me@11.22.33.44 -L 3388:10.1.2.3:3389 -NnvÂ
The verbose logging shows that it sets up connectivity. If I then look to see if my local port is listening I can type:Â
netstat -an | grep 127.0Â
I will note that port 3387 is in fact LISTENing and waiting for connectionÂ
I then start my RDP client app, and start a session to "localhost:3387" (I could also use "127.0.0.1:3387", and have, but it does not work either). My RDP client eventually times out. I have turned my firewall off and on, neither way works.Â
The verbose log shows the following is setup appropriately (with noted modifications to server names and actual IPs):Â debug1: Authentication succeeded (keyboard-interactive).Authenticated to somewhere.net ([11.22.33.44]:22).debug1: Local connections to localhost:3387 forwarded to remote address 10.1.2.3:3389debug1: Local forwarding listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3387.
How to customize the printing port number on mac?Â
I use OSX 10.9.3 and need to change the printing port number to 93100 which is not a standard protocol port.Â
I have searched on the net and clicked on all the buttons inside ADD PRINTER area but I cannot find anything. Â
Maybe this functionality does not exist on mac at all?Â
Having just migrated from 10.6.8 where this problem didn't exist, I don't know where or what might be causing this in 10.9.3.Â
I run the JRivers music program Media Center and the normal player feeds the digital stream out the usb port to my DAC. It has 2 modes, starting up with exclusive access and not starting with exclusive access. I have tried it both ways with identical results.Â
If I run music thru the JRivers app and out the usb and then stop the player to have a browser (safari or firefox) play a video, the audio portion of the browser audio is sent to the front panel speaker and not to the usb port.
This wasn't the case with 10.6.8 where I would switch back and forth frequently. Now I have to restart the mac in order to 'release' the usb port back to the browser.
That is until I run the Media Center over usb.Â
I have run Audio Midi Setup, to see if I can 'release' the usb port, to no avail.Â
How many of you would like to see a HDMI Port? Why the miniDisplay port? Why not remove ethernet jack and miniDisplay port and replace it with a HDMI port. That way one HDMI cable feeds digital video AND audio. Am I the only one thinking of this?

Time Capsule is correctly recognised on the local WiFi and set with correct password. USB port is working for other printers correctly. Just the 4800 is not recognised. I tried everything (deleting the printer and reseting all printers too)...Â

I have just ordered a new MacBook Pro and it does not have enough USB ports for my needs.If I have a USB 3.0 hub and I mix USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 peripherals on it, will the whole hub/computer USB 3.0 port be slowed down to USB 2.0 speeds?I am thinking back to Firewire, if you have Firewire 800 and 400 devices on the same chain, the whole chain slowed to Firewire 400 speeds.I don't think this is the same with USB but wanted some reassurance..

When I plug an externally powered device (printer, external HD etc.) into my MBP via USB, there are small sparks around the plug and the plugged in speaker makes sounds. I think that this also caused my external HD to die.
View 3 Replies View RelatedTwice recently, when I empty the Trash on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro with OS X Lion (current update), the Trash empties but the CPU goes to 100% utilization, the fans come on high, the CPU temperature as measured by an app exceeds 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and of course any commands produce a long beachball. The computer will only shut down by force via the power button.
Is it harmful for the CPU to max-out like this? The power-on self-test on startup reported "passed" so there doesn't appear to be any damage but I am not sure how much these tests really test. The Apple Hardware Test will not run in Lion. I ran one with my old Snow Leopard startup disk and it reported pass but recorded the test date as in the year 4012.

Recently I purchased 8GB of G Skill ram from newegg for $90. After installing it in my computer, i thought everything was working fine until I noticed apps crashing more frequently. Is it possible that the ram is causing this to happen? Also, my computer kernel panicked once since installation.

The Air's screen dimmed and this popup came up. Now everytime I plug something in to my USB port, i.e. USB jump drive, External HD, even my External Air DVD drive, the same thing happens, screen dims and this message pops up. THe only item that it has not frozen up on is my Iphone, that connected fine without crashing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedTo cut a long story short, I'n on my 4th June '09 MBP. Those darn SATA issues have caused freezing and beachballing on each of the MBPs.
I'm taking it back to Apple today for a full refund. I'm convinced this generation of MPS are all affected and I'm staying well clear.
I've been looking on the Refrub Store and this seems to fit my needs but will it also have the SATA issues?
Also, is there anything about this notebook/generation that I should be aware of? I want this to be the last MBP! (well, at least for a couple of years).
I just installed Snow Leopard on a white MacBook. Everything was fine until I went to Update the rest of the software on the computer. I hit "Install 11 Updates", it started installing, and then it just turned off. I powered up, hit the update button again, it began downloading and then powered off again. I plugged in power and powered up and now im stuck on a blue screen with the black spinning showing up and hiding repeatedly for 5-7 seconds at a time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a 17 inch MBP with 3.06ghz processor and 7200rpm 500gb HD ticked and fancied playing Dragon Age as i'm giving my old desktop computer away.I installed windows 7 Ultimate (lost my XP CD), cranked the settings on Dragon Age to max, turned x4 AA on and set about from where I left off.After about 30 minutes of playing I noticed my MBP was getting quite hot - not enough to burn me (though getting there) - just enough to cause concern and make me want to stop. I've had the temperature of this up to 90 degrees while doing other things and never felt it this hot before or had the fans going this much. I expected it to heat up and the fans to go somewhat crazy but not this much.
I'd like this laptop to last me at least a good few years so i'm wondering if daily prolong use of doing this could cause damage to the laptop?
i have a question. i have installed windows xp through bootcamp on the mbp 2009, 2 GB RAM, 2.26 ghz, nvidia 9400m. the thing is the computer gets extremely hot when playing 'guild wars' on LOWEST setting. it is not a very graphics or cpu intensive game, i mean my old toshiba 900mhz celeron processor, 2gb ram vista laptop can run it without heat issues. is there any way to fix this? i have tried the smcfancontrol method, but with that it doesn't work for me because i have to shut off bootcamp.exe in windows and put the computer to sleep and then turn it back on in order for the keyboard backlight to turn off.
