OS X Mountain Lion :: ITunes Is No Longer Syncing To IPhone 4s

Dec 4, 2014

I have an iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011)  running ITUNES version 12.0.1.26. 

2 days ago ITUNES got locked up and would not quit - even attempting a force quit which did not work.  I then tried a reboot of the Mac which gave me another opportunity to force quit the app which was successful..

Ever since then ITUNES appears not to be working with my mobile device IP4S.  I tired the IPAD which seems to work.

I did a hard reboot on the IP4.

iOS 6.1.3

OS X Mountain Lion :: ICal - Calendar No Longer Pops Up Message Alert

Aug 31, 2014

I have used iCal and now Calendar for many years. For every event, I choose to show "Message with Sound" for the alert. In the past few weeks, I noticed I no longer get any on-screen pop-up message. Not sure of the proper term for that, but my choice for each event is the same: "Message with Sound", so maybe it is called "message". I do get the sound alert, just am now missing the tiny even message window that used to pop up. 

Here is an odd chain of events...

I looked in ~/Preferences to try trashing something, found only "com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist" as an obvious choice. I expected to find com.apple.Calendar.plist, but no such file. When I launched Calendar, it showed no change at all in any of my preference settings, and I do have several settings that are not default, such as "Start week on Monday" and "Alerts > Event: At time of event" instead of 15 minutes before. 

After re-launching Calendar, I noticed a new file, "com.apple.Calendar.plist" appeared in ~/Preferences. I always use column view, so it isn't possible that i missed it before; this file was not there before. Nonetheless, the alert sounds with no message window issue continues. How to restore the alert window?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Time Machine Restored 'Macintosh HD' Inside 'Macintosh HD'

Jul 3, 2012

After reinstall of OS X 10.7.4, I restored an older copy from Time Machine backup. I want to completely replace the current "Macintosh HD" folder with the folder that TM put inside it. I created a separate user account, that did not exist before to do it. Do I need to create a root account? Is there an easy way to copy /Macintosh HD/Macintosh HD/to/Macintosh HD/?

OS X Mountain Lion :: Installer Can't Find HD

Sep 4, 2014

I have a MBP 13" early 2013 / Mountain Lion 10.8.2...A while ago I got a spinning wheel right after starting my mac. I contacted Apple since my mac was still under warranty, and after further diagnosis, they told me that I have to replace the HD, so they mail me a new HD. 

I connected the new HD on a USB cable to format and re-partition it using Disk utility (At this point, DU was able to see the HD on a USB connection). After partitioning, I removed my Mac cover to replace my HDs. I booted using a Mountain Lion USB drive, but the installer couldn't find the new HD, just the recovery partition. I bought a new HD from Amazon, same result, my mac can start with teh old HD. Also, the disk utility can read the new HDs if they are on a usb connection, but it cant read them if they are on a SMART connection !

OS X Mountain Lion :: Can't Find System Fonts On HD

Jun 26, 2014

In My Suitcase 5, I can see a list of OSX System Fonts > Local, (such as Calibri, Calisto MT, etc.). I realized I cannot locate these fonts anywhere on the HD. I see them in Suitcase and they load, but the physical files are nowhere to be found. I did a search in Finder for Calibri — nothing, like it doesn't exist. I went to all 3 common system fonts folders — nothing. I went to Users / Library/ Fonts — nothing. 

Where are these fonts, really?

OS X :: Upgrade 10.4.11 To 10.5.8 - Scanner No Longer Visible

Dec 8, 2009

I upgraded my PowerMac Dual G5 2 GHz from OS 10.4.11 to 10.5.8. Now the Mac can't see my SCSI scanner (Epson Exprerssion 836XL). It doesn't show up under the system profiler.

Before upgrading, I cloned my 10.4.11 installation. When I boot from the clone, I can use the scanner with no problems. So the hardware is working and connected properly.

What is there about the Leopard system I can do to help it recognize the scanner?

The problem has survived system restarts, including restarts after complete shutdown.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Time Machine Cannot Find TC Any Longer

Jun 7, 2012

I use a TC for wireless backup at home. When I return home after being away, Time Machine usually finds the TC and resumes its routine. Now this doesn't work any more. Even though the TC appears in the sidebar and is recognized by Airport Utility, when I select "Back Up Now" I get a message saying "the backup disk couldn't be found". I recently updated the OS to 10.7.4.

ITunes :: Folder Full Of Important Playlists No Longer Visible

May 25, 2012

To complicate matters, a few months ago I moved my entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, and that is not backed up by Time Machine.But, the folder was there after I moved all the files. It just recently seemed to disappear. Is there a way to recover the playlists from the files on my hard drive right now, or do I need to recover an older version from Time Machine Backup?How can I get all the playlists to return?

OS X :: Laptop Restarted Itself - Items No Longer In Macintosh Hard Drive Folder

May 21, 2009

I have searched for this as much as possible but am not finding any conclusive answer and am not a techy enough to try and figure it out myself. My laptop restarted itself last night for no reason and when i restarted it, all the items on the desktop were no longer there and in the Macintosh HD folder there was a ~ file with what seemed like a system dump (approx 500kb in size) Now Firefox and iTunes no longer work. iTunes says it can not find the library file. Here are some images of what it looks like: [URL:...] and here is the log from around that time too. [URL:...] This happened 6 months ago when i tried to install CS 3 suite and i had to reinstalled OSX and start all from scratch. If i delete the file and restart the laptop, the file returns, and then it begins to no longer recognize external hard drives and the only way to access them is via Terminal. i am backing up what i can for the moment but would prefer to know what has happened and how to fix it.

IMac (Intel) :: HDD No Longer Visible After Yosemite Update - Critical Error

Dec 2, 2014

I have a later 2012 iMac 27". The computer was running slow for the past week or so. I decided to update to Yosemite today. The installation stated it had a critical error and the downloaded file was corrupted. It asked to re-download the file, and then the iMac froze. It went to a gray screen without a restart. I forced the iMac to restart. After the restart, a progress bar with the Apple symbol would come up and then the iMac would shut down. I have attempted to restart using Internet Recovery; however, the OSX will not show a drive to install to. I did another Internet Recovery and had Disk Utility come up, but it only sees a partition with approximately 2 gigs of the 3 terabytes I actually have. It seems as if iMac is not properly mounting the drive. I have two questions.

1) Is there some way to have the bios remount the drive and
2) if 1 is not possible, is it possible to recover the data off the drive?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

OS X Mavericks :: Extra Data Partition For Windows In BootCamp Is Not Visible

Dec 6, 2014

I created a new Boot Camp partition with Windows 7 Ultimate on my MacBook Pro (i7, 2.8 Ghz, 750 GB HD) running Mavericks 10.9.5. The 2 disks were about 70 GB (Mac side) and 680 GB (Windows side). I wanted to create an extra, data partition and created it after having installed Windows. I used IPartition to do this and resized the Windows partition to about 90 GB and created an empty partition and formatted it with IPartition as Microsoft NTFS.

Now, when I boot into Windows I cannot see the empty data partition: but it's visible and mounted when I boot into Mac side. 

I tried to to create new volume on empty space with Windows Disk management but got this warning and canceled that operation fearing that that would mess up the booting into Mac or Windows or both: How can I get that empty partition visible in Windows?

OS X Mountain Lion :: Restore Missing Files To New HD?

Dec 1, 2014

8 nights ago my drive failed.  Tech replaced it & restored data from Time Machine.  He said TM gave him no options (time/date of backup to restore).  I noticed immediately that several files were missing off my desktop, no idea if other files have gone missing, too.  Suspect the final backup was after the drive began to fail, therefore data was corrupted. 

I don't know how to locate & replace the missing files, nor how to do a restore.

OS X Mountain Lion :: Can't Move Files From External HD

Sep 7, 2014

Currently running OSX 10.8.5. Trying to move iTunes Music directory and iPhoto to new external hard drive. They currently reside on a 1.5T WD My Passport drive. Need to copy the directories to my iMac (3.4 GHz i7) desktop and then onto my new external HD. When trying to copy to my hard drive, I get the popup: "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)." 

These popups occur every few audio files. Thing is the files are not corrupt (I can play them in iTunes) and the volume was confirmed as clean by disk utility. 

How do I move all the files? Line command via Terminal (if so I need specific instructions as I am not a coder). 

I wanted to move the files originally because I was having problems in iPhoto. Rebuilt iPhoto using iPhoto Library Manager, but in rebuilding and reimporting images, I ran out of hard drive space. Saving iPhoto is paramount because it's the only source for my digital photos.
