  • I just upgraded from Lion to El Capitan. Impossible to update iphoto now. How to do?

    I just upgraded from Lion to El capitan (face in RAW format with a new camera compatibility). iPhoto does not. A message says: not available for this material either under the name of another user or reimbursed. How is it possible with a MacBook pro reinstalled with iPhoto?

    How to get this update? 5I'm very few qualified in the computer and not ready for the pictures). Thank you for the France.

    This may be a long ball, because you are upgrading a Lion at El Capitan.

    According to the version of iPhoto you had on Lion, you may be able to recover iPhoto.

    And possible only if you iPhoto with your ID on your Macbook Apple.

  • upgrade to OSX 10.12 Sierra 10.6.8

    I have a MacMini running 10.6.8 mid-2010 Core2Duo. Only 2 GB of RAM, but I bought more (went wild and bought 2 4 GB 'cards' to replace the two original things from 1 GB) and install it after I do the upgrade (or did I miss something on the order of things... because I don't think that the new RAM is recognizable to OS 10.6.8... seems I read that somewhere) (, perhaps to OWC in descriptions of fleas?)

    I'm following the discussion 6271steps, the upgrade to 10.7 and above. I think it of a little too complete and covers many too on the ground which may not be suitable to my situation. I need to do this because 10.6.8 browsers are supported by less and less my online services (bank account, doctor, etc.) ... and of course, I need at least 10.10 download, install and use Google Chrome, if I want to access these accounts, for example.

    I'm hanging installation 10.7 Lion - point I paid for and downloaded the installer, so I'm ready to press the button install. I have two independent full backups on external drives, as recommended (disconnected).

    1. what happens next? The installation program will erase my hard drive to install the new OS? (There seems to be an indication that may arise - in this article - but it's not clear to me).

    If so, I guess I'll have to use one of these backups to get all my data, files, any return on the Mini?

    2. after that, the discussion indicates I'll need to upgrade from 10.7 to 10.7.5 until I can go to Sierra; is this fair? In the discussion 6271, there is the following:

    «Note, as the last written of this trick, only available to 10.6.6 upgrades are 10.6.7, 10.6.8 10.7, and take up to 10.7 10.7.5 Combo, Supplemental updateand Security Update 2014-004 10.7.5 followed by 10.7.5 Bash update.»  Available only to 10.6.8 upgrades are 10.7, 10.8. »

    3 the above quote does that I have the "combo, additional import" AND ALL THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES before I can install Sierra? (In other words, 4 additional "installed" after installation of 10.7, just preparation to take the giant step Sierra?)

    4. I understand, is that the only options available for me at the moment are:

    Upgrade to 10.7

    Update to 10.7.5

    Upgrade to 10.12 (no intermediate OS is available is never again?)

    (Reason for asking, is that the original discussion 6271 has several statements to be able to upgrade to 10.8 and more than 10, 7 - see #2 above, but I thought that Apple has stopped supporting 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10, 10.11 and don't allow anyone who has not already install.)

    5. an another link/rabbit Hutch in article 6271 says I need to install an update of the firmware to 10.6.8 if I want to 'internet restoration/command-R' * 10.7 (if something goes wrong, I guess, in all of the above steps). This document (article HT202313-"Computers that can be upgraded to use the Internet OSX recovery") provides links to the required firmware update. What do need me, or the installation of 10.7 and up to reduced Sierra negate the need for such an approach? (telling me I CAN do something without being clear, if I REALLY NEED to take this step, confuses me.)

    6. I have the original installation discs for my MacMini, but I do not remember if it came with OSX 10.6.4 or had 10.6.8 when I bought it. I can't find a 10.6.8 updater anywhere. Would not be "restoring the internet" average I would be taken back to 10.6.x when I used the original disks; If so, I would be able to return to 10.7 at all, or which would force to buy me a new computer?

    In summary, it would be a great help for me if I had a list of the steps that I really have to take to get my computer to use the latest versions of Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, in the order that they should be made, without all the links not applicable and sidetrips that don't apply to other versions of OSX servers or people who use Java to develop stuff...

    * (question 5 above: this quote is from "Doc 2465 #Eight"-)

    "

    Q: I have an old 2011 Mac and command-R won't let me restore of Mac OS X 10.7, or later on the internet.  Is there a way to allow him to do?

    A: Yes.   Update the firmware, as evidenced by this article:computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

    To ensure you have the right firmware first, see this tip:

    What should I do if I find a used without the original CD machine?

    Really sorry to be so needy, but it is a great leap forward and I need to be able to use a current browser and better protected than 10.6.8 Mac OSX... and well, I want to do things.

    Thanks for that help you can provide!

    1. it will not be unless a problem arises.

    2 installation of the Mac App Store of the Lion version upgrades the computer to 10.7.5.

    3 No.

    4. you can switch to Mountain Lion or El Capitan(but only from 10.6.8) If you wish.

    5. This step is important only if you replace the hard drive, or a problem with the drive itself (not just the operating system).

    6. without the recovery of the Internet system, you will need to use a disk or an external drive in the case of #5.

  • Upgrade from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr, now all downloads are not visible at all anywhere

    I just upgraded from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr. At first I noticed that download statusbar has not shown all downloads when they have been downloaded, so I decided to remove it. That has not changed anything because I do not see in tools-> Downloads tab. I tried to play with the browser.download.useJSTransfer and the browser.download.useToolkitUI, I've seen in my search, but they do not help. I also tried to change the options of the private browsing mode, and although I can see that downloads fail, I don't see when they download. I don't know what is happening.

    I have reset the settings of firefox and it seems to be fixed. I could not identify any option that could have been the cause. He could download status bar. I no longer need because new download managers to work pretty well.

  • Why the scroll bar arrows disappeared from Firefox when I upgraded from Fedora 17 to 18 years?

    Recently, I upgraded from Fedora 17 to 18 of Fedora. Before the update, Firefox worked perfectly. Now, the arrows have disappeared of the scrollbar on the right. How can I get back them?

    This problem is not moved in other applications - in Firefox.

    Alternatively, you can check for problems with the file localstore.rdf.

    Do you have a scroll bar (that is, only the buttons have disappeared)?

    You use the default theme of Firefox (Tools > Modules > appearance)?

    You can attach a screenshot?

    Use a type of compressed as PNG or JPG image to save the screenshot.

    You can try to check if another theme or icon pack Linux brings them back.

  • Main problems after upgrading from XP to Vista on Qosmio F20

    I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista on my Qosmio F20 and having problems. It seems that I lost the ability to change screen resolutions, to adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Basically, I lost the laptop functions. I also tried updating the BIOS but get the following error message "BiOS update only is not supported OS - unsupported OS or service pack installed.»

    This also makes very slow computer.

    You now have a few questions, or you wrote just a report on your experience of Vista on Qosmio F20?

    The fact is that Toshiba does not support Vista on this laptop model and thereby you will ever complete Vista of operation (including the Toshiba tools and utilities). For supported laptops, Toshiba offered special Vista supporting BIOS but for your laptop, this update of the BIOS does not exist.

    Sorry! :(

    1. the older system with Win7 should not go Win10 that HP provides no support any drivers for it unless it was made in 2013.

    2. your specific HP PS comment is false with no facts to backup. We should refrain from making these comments - does nothing to help other users.
