Problem restoring stuck MacBook Pro system and time machine
This morning my retina MBP (El Cap 10.11.4, updated about a week ago) has frozen. It was working fine yesterday, but wake from sleep this morning nothing would go, apps wouldn't start, nothing, so I rebooted. He got about a third of the way between the progress bar white on black screen and hung with a spinning wheel.
Then I tried to secure boot and made me to the login screen, but it still turns after that I entered the password. (The guest account and the other I put in place but rarely use seem to work well, it's just me hanging). Reset NVRAM made no difference.
Then I went to recovery mode and has conducted an audit of disk first aid, who reported no problems. So, I used the disk utility to make a disk image to backup to an external drive and then to the Time Machine system restore. However, it asks for the password for 'System administrator' and rejects everything I try. The TC is configured as "Discs safe with accounts" (not ' device password') and there are two custom accounts and the wifi password. I can't check my backup settings now, but I think that it is only for my account, so I wonder if even is a system restore file. I would try to change the airport disk access settings but I'm afraid it will just trash my backups.
Suggestions for free my Mac or enter the system restore (or restore just my account) until I try a reinstall?

AI CS5 keyboard shortcuts do not work. I restarted and have no other problem with my MacBook Pro. What is the problem?
Bill,
The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.
If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.
(1) close Illy and open again.
(2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);
(3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);
4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:
https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html
5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);
Even worse, you can:
(6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.

Take it back to the Apple Store and ask them to check it out. It should be under warranty. Bring the MBP along too. It sounds like there might be a problem with it.

Difference between Macbook Pro 13 "and 15" Exit screen
Hello
I know there was a difference between the new Macbook Pro 13 and 15 "video, maps, but is there a difference between their output capabilities? I am wanting to use this machine for Keynote, PowerPoint and video output for large-format projectors, mainly in 1080 p, but want to know if the two can handle higher resolutions. Thank you
The 13 "and 15" Mbps will support the external resolution up to 3840 x 2160.
Ciao.

I just restored my HD Mac from a time machine backup and PS 4 will not open. I get an error code 150:30. No idea what I need to do?
Most likely your Photoshop installation was damaged by the restoration. Re-installing Photoshop CS4. You can find the latest version that has been published here: products CS4 download

The airPort Extreme (2007) and Time Machine
Hi all
I read the info "how to ask a good question" and apparently you need details. I'll try and be concise but informative with my problem. It has been a long journey to get to where I am, but hopefully, with a little help from this amazing community, I can get to my destination.
Task
To produce a backup solution Time Machine for the family spending as little money as possible and using the BRIC and broc, I already have.
Equipment available
I have a House with some ethernet cables for most rooms that through switches to allow a variety of, most entertainment devices to communicate. It is:
1 x NAS/Media (ReadyNAS Duo v2) server,
2 x TV (Samsung),
2 x TEU (Beyonwiz),
2 x Apple TV (a 2 nd generation the other is the latest version)
2 x DVD players,
1 x iMac.
2 x 8-port switches,
1 x 16 switch ports,
1 x AirPort Extreme (2007).
1 x Airport Express (age unknown but older than the extreme)
1 x Fritz! Box 7490 Modem/Router
Courses in place
All the associated TV stuff are connected in 2 rooms through ethernet via switch 2 x 8 ports switch 16 central port and then to the Fritz! modem/router box.
There are also all the usual WiFi going on with mobile phones, iPads and laptops.
Remarkably, it seems just to work!
However, I want to add some backup data on our computers. I tried to do by using the ReadyNAS as it is supposed to support Time Machine, but I can't it to appear as a backup destination. So, I thought, as I have AirPort Extreme, I add it to the network and attach a USB HDD for Time Machine since it is supposed to be easy. However, I've been home for hours and cannot make the HARD disk appear in system preferences/Time Machine.
I plugged the Airport Extreme in one of the switches 8 port said to create a wireless network with the same details as the Fritz! The box according to another article of the support (Airport Extreme wired AND expand network - need of entry). Airport utility shows me Wi-wired connections and seems to work.
I look at the AirPort Extreme disks tab and can see the attached USB drive here. However, it does not appear as a choice of drives available for backup in Time Machine preferences. I tried 2 different discs with the same result.
The Question (finally)
How can I get Time Machine preferences to show the USB disk attached to AirPort Extreme as a valid choice for backups? If anyone can give me a little help in the right direction, I would be very grateful.
Thank you for reading this,
Grant
Unfortunately, the key here is that the version of AirPort Extreme you have does not officially support Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.
The only version of the AirPort Extreme, which will officially support Time Machine backups on a drive in the USB port on the airport is the 802.11ac current version that looks like a "tower". Older versions of 'flat and square' of the AirPort Extreme don't support Time machine with a USB drive attached.
To check, please see "Time Machine in charge of USB drives" in this Apple support document... AirPort base stations: discs on USB - Support Apple
Support for time Machine to USB drives
OS X Time Machine supports compatible USB drives encrypted, related to the time Capsule (802.11n and 802.11ac) AirPort and AirPort Extreme (802.11ac).
Given that the average life of most wireless routers lasts about 5 years, and your AirPort Extreme seems to be about 9, your AirPort Extreme did very well for you... much better than the average. It might be time to start thinking about a replacement who will be responsible for backups Time Machine... either a time Capsule (i.e. an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive) or another AirPort Extreme.

External hard drive to format HFS + (not OS x) and Time Machine boot
Hello, I have a MBP of 2014 (10.11.2). Have a 2 TB external drive SG was NTFS but reformatted using THE HFS + and created two partitions of 1 TB (Yes, for my intended purpose in hindsight should have apparently formatted to a ready drive "Time Machine"). But just went with HFS + and Time Machine is ready to use one of the partitions to backup nonethelss.
Hmm... but 1) TM do not encrypt, and more important again, I wonder if TM 2) can perform full restore from a drive WITHOUT the OS X on the ext drive (no matter the format HFS + appropriate)?
(FYI, I received a warning when you use CCC related attempt to clone the drive to this disc hard ext, but received a warning "not re-bootable from any OS X"). Thank you!
HFS + Mac OS Extended is what should be the disk.
