IMac :: Why Does Safari/chrome Fail To Load A Webpage

Jan 14, 2011

here's the issue, when i open a new tab and go to a website, i then wait for it to load, while it does load, i go onto the other tabs, but then when i go back to the tab that was loading, i get this message/error saying that the website cannot be found etc. as if there is no internet connection. i then click on refresh and it loads up the page just fine. this only happens when i go onto the other websites and don't wait for the new tab to load. why does this happen? it is very frustrating. i already reseted safari numerous times and im still having the same issue.

OS X Mavericks :: After Upgrade From Snow Leopard - Python 3.3 Scripts Fail

Jul 1, 2014

After upgrade to Mavericks 10.9.3 from Snow Leopard my Python3.3 scripts, called through a shellscript, fail. They work fine when called from Python 3.3 in Terminal. The issue appears to be the path. Currently Python 3.3 is located in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3, whereas all the other installations are in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/..., and include v2.3, v2.5, v2.6 & v2.7, plus a "Current" folder alias. I read somewhere that simply adding the new path was not advisable. If that is true, what's the best way to include other version.

MacBook Pro :: Attachments Fail To Attach In Email On Any Browser - OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

Jun 4, 2014

I have the latest MacBook Pro with Retina display with quad core. No attachments whether pdf, images, or documents will attach to any email program on any browser on the Maverick OS. This is a defect only with the MacBook Pro. My iMac quad core works great with attachments as would be expected. 

Any answers as to why attachments fail to attach and gives the spinning beachball requiring a force quit. Eventually, I take the file on a memory stick to my iMac to attach it there on any browser with any email.

IMac :: HD Fail ... Weird Boot Ups?

Jan 22, 2010

my imac boots normally unless three things happen prior to it

1. i put the computer to sleep

2. i schedule a shut down via energy save

3. my computer undergoes a forced shutdown e.g. via power button or power failure
if any of these occur i get the infamous flashing question mark, however if i wait 30 mins it boots normally again, is there a reason for these problems other than a failing HD and can i do anything about it

f.y.i. i have already attempted clean/fresh installs of leopard and snow leopard

Hardware :: PS3 + Airport Extreme + Imac + Ethernet - Fail?

Feb 13, 2009

Bt homehub shoots the internet wirelessly to my next room, to the Airport extreme. This airport extreme sits next to a ps3 and an external network Hard drive (see model below). Basically, I want to be able to dump files from my imac into the other room on this Hardrive, whilst my Ps3 being able to access the Hardrive as usual. Unfrotunately, I can only get the ps3 or the airport extreme to connect to my hardrive through the USB slot. As the HD only has one USB slot, this means I can only use one at a time! Neither of the devices will see the Harddrive when it is plugged in by ethernet alone.. How can i make it so i can use the harddrive with my airport extreme AND my ps3 at the same time?

Hard drive model:
Freecom 30725 1TB NAS Drive Hi-Speed USB/Ethernet 10/100
brand new Imac with latest airport extreme

IMac :: Fail At Installing Bootcamp / Won't Create Partition

Dec 12, 2009

Okay this i7 iMac is barely a few weeks old and I went today to setup bootcamp and during the partition creation, I get this error:

The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.

Er...WHAT? I don't even know what to do about that one, but it sounds suspiciously like I have to completely redo my Mac which is not going to make for a good Saturday.

Any hints on what in the world would cause this? I haven't even barely used this machine to begin with.

IMac :: 27" Mouse / Keyboard Fail To Reconnect After Sleep

Jan 20, 2010

I have noticed a few times now that when my iMac has gone into sleep after being left alone (usually for a couple of days) that it is impossible to wake it up with either the wireless keyboard or (magic) mouse because both have disconnected from the bluetooth and refuse to reconnect. Has anyone else seen this? The only solution seems to be to connect a usb mouse, turn off bluetooth and turn it back on and then the keyboard and mouse re-appear.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: IMac 10.6.8 Pointing Sudden Fail With Bluetooth Enabled?

Jul 4, 2012

10.6 Aluminum iMac w/wireless keyboard and trackpad.Working fine long-term, no recent change to the h/w or system software.All of a sudden pointing started operating as if permanently in mouse-down state. In Finder, this means that the mouse would move around the last-selected object. It is impossible to put the object down and so impossible to operate the Mac. Restart doesn't help.I turned off the wireless devices, replaced the wireless keyboard and trackpad with old, wired keyboard and mouse, and restarted. Normal operation was restored. Tried putting back the the keyboard, but pointing was disabled the instant I re-enabled Bluetooth. Now stuck permanently as if in mouse-up state, so impossible to operate. Fail.Temporarily OK with wired keyboard and mouse. Ihow to return the system to wireless keyboard and trackpad operation?

OS X Mavericks :: Migration Assistant Exits Without Error?

Sep 11, 2014

My main 3tb iMAC is in the shop getting a new fusion drive as it died.  I have to use one of my other iMacs temporarily.  This other iMac as a 1tb HD but its mostly empty.  I have a Time Machine backup on my NAS drive of my main iMac.  I want to copy some of my backup files from the NAS to the 1tb iMAC. But I am having issues trying to copy files. 

Basically I launch Migration Assistant, it goes through the steps and I pick the user I want to migrate.  It start the process then says that the users files are too large for this iMac and so I have the option to go back and pick specific folders to copy.  I unclick enough folders so it fits on the 1tb iMAC, I click next and then the Migration Assistant just exits and I am returned to the login screen. 

I see the problem on two different iMacs - the 2014 one with 1tb and an older 2011 iMac with 2tb.  No error, it just exits.

OS X Mavericks :: Migration Assistant Stuck At 1 Minute Remaining

Aug 30, 2014

I'm attempting to use the migration assistant to migrate from one MacBook Air to another. It has been stuck on "less than 1 minute remaining" for over 18 hours now. If I look at the network, there is a large amount of traffic between the two machines, all of it TCPv6 going from the migration destination to the migration source machine, port 1024.

OS X Mavericks :: Migration Assistant Crashes While Examining Directories

Aug 29, 2014

M friend migrating from an old MacBook (with Snow Leopard) to a new one (with Mavericks). The old MacBook is connected to the new one with a firewire cable and is in Target Mode. We can see the disk and folders fine on the old MacBook, but when we try to use Migration Assistant it crashes while computing the size of the user accounts on the old mac (i.e. before we can even start migration). Disk Utility says there's nothing wrong with the old mac's disk. 

I checked the crash reports from migration assistant on the new mac, and it turns out that it crashes in the same way every time, and the backtrace looks like the following. My guess is that there might be a file with a strange/wrong name somewhere on that old mac. 

Thread 8 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.root.default-priority

IMac (Intel) :: OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) Safari Isn't Recognizing Installed Plug-ins

Sep 8, 2014

For some reason safari isn't recognising flash player or silverlight plug-ins despite uninstalling an reinstalling (seemingly successfully) a couple of times. I was prompted a couple of weeks ago to update flash player, and having done this I am unable to use it at all. In addition my netflix account prompted me to download silverlight (must have been previously present) and since will not play any netflix films at all. Im running an iMac intel on 10.9.4.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Get Migration Assistant To Successfully Migrate Between Two Desktop Machines

Jun 30, 2014

I spent 4 days trying to get OS X Migration Assistant to successfully migrate between two desktop machines, both running Mavericks 10.9.3. 

The two machines were connected by an ethernet cable, and all migrations would fail after 16-24 hours, with the progress bar stalling out at "Less than one minute remaining". 

Before every failed transfer, Migration Assistant would inaccurately show "157 KB selected" for transfer if the "Computer & Network Settings" option was checked, or "0 KB selected" for transfer if only the "Applications" or "Documents & Data" options were checked. 

I finally realized that the migrations were failing because I was opening and clicking through Migration Assistant on both the source and target machines at around the same time. 

The eventual solution was to open Migration Assistant on the source machine first, and click through as far as I could until the source machine was actively looking for other machines on the network. 

As long as I waited until then to open Migration Assistant on the target machine, it would correctly calculate the size of the files to be transferred and the migration would succeed. 

So, the order in which you open Migration Assistant seems to make a big difference: source first, then target. 

My problem is solved, but only after several days of hassle, so I wanted to post this in case other people had a similar issue. 

(I tried many suggested fixes that did not work, included reinstalling OS X on the target machine, running disk repair and fixing permissions on both source and target, changing file sharing on the source machine to include the whole drive, trying to migrate Applications and Documents & Data separately, turning off wifi before the transfer, etc.)

OS X Mavericks :: Dual Boot With Mountain Lion And Migration Assistant

Jun 6, 2014

I have a Macbook Pro Retina which cam with Mountain Lion installed, and I want to upgrade to Mavericks. However, I have a need to run some apps in Mountain Lion, as official support for those apps will not go past 10.8.5 (Avid's Pro Tools 10) and I need to be able to open archived projects. 

I also wish to clean install both operating systems fresh, and do a stripped ML partition, with bare bones essentials, on the smallest partion possible. Mavericks will be the main system, and ML won't host user data, only the legacy apps. I am fine with erasing my 500GB SSD. 

My current process is to install ML from the recovery partition, and use disk utility to partition before I do, then install Mavericks from a bootable USB (already made). 

So my questions are these: 

For ML: 

1. What size partition is the minimum necessary to install ML, plus the apps and run without hitch? The legacy apps will take maybe 4GB.I want this as small as possible. 

2. When I do a fresh install of ML, what apps can safely be deleted without affecting the system? 

For Mavericks: 

When migrating my old user account to Mavericks, I don't wish to migrate the apps, just the user settings and the data. I will make an entire backup of the user directory on a separate drive before I start this process, as well as a Time Machine backup. I then plan to migrate the account settings and data, but manually reinstall the extra apps. The reason for this is I have a lot of third party apps, and some are trials I decided to uninstall, and they all leave junk behind. 

3. If I import the user account settings and data only, what cruft or orphaned files should I be aware of? 

4. Are there options to cherry pick the settings that are migrated? 

5. If I manually copy, for example, the mail folder, iCal or messages folder in my user library, and place it into the appropriate user folder in the new account in a worst case scenario, will there be any drama I should be aware of? 

Lastly, a question of Apple ID's/iCloud: 

6. Before doing this process, should I deauthorise my iTunes account, or will that be fine when migrated anyway? 

7. What will happen with my iPhone when I sync to a fresh install on mavericks, will it attempt to wipe my iPhone, or is that part of the user data that is migrated?

Intel Mac :: Can't Open Safari After Migration

Apr 13, 2012

Moved files from old iMac (2006) to new iMac (bought yesterday) that was running itunes music off of an external hard drive. Move seemed successful, and I re-attached external hard drive but Itunes would not open, saying itunes was a "newer version" than what was on new iMac already. Did software update and it did not finish the update, saying try again. Second time, it completed update, updating itunes and then the new iMac was able to read the external hard drive fine. I tested a few songs and itunes found them and played them fine, all artwork ok, etc. 

So, then I tried to open Safari and it told me it could not run this version of Safari on the new iMac OSX. Tried the update software trick again, but it still will not open, same message. Under Safari preferences, it shows two default Safari versions, 5.0.4 i thinkg and 5.1.1 (i think) [I am at work now].  I can get around this and get to the internet fine by double clicking my Amazon MP3 icon, which asks if i want to quit and go to website to update, where i am then on amazon.com and have all my bookmarks etc listed on web browser just like before and it works fine...So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop? I have not tried to download new safari from apple website yet to see if that works to overwrite the others...Am i missing something simple? Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ?
