Just installed Mavericks and now Time Machine is unusable. Time Machine can be entered and appears to be working, but a large black rectangle covers most of the screen, blocking Time Machine's Finder display, making it unusable. I suspect this is related to EyeTV because the black rectangle...

I installed Mavericks yesterday and am having a problem with Photoshop Elements 8. PSE will not launch. Instead, it says "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and "Error: 150:30". I found a page on the Adobe web site that addresses this error and tried everything it said with no...

1Password tells me I'm using the latest version. Maybe he's not using the latest version of Mountain Lion.

Oh, and thank you for informing me of the existence of the Agilebits forum. I'll try posting there, too.

No, this is something different. The symptom is that the first time she goes to a site that wants a log-in, clicking on the 1Password icon produces the familiar pulldown except that the content is blank. I haven't found anything to correct this except to download and reinstall the 1Password...

Firefox installed on my wife's Mac repeatedly loses the 1Password add-on, which has to be reinstalled each time. She and I are running, as near as I can tell, identical configurations: OS X 10.8.4, Firefox 23.0.1, and 1Password 3.8.21. We both run Adblock Plus and Ghostery. My Firefox also...

Thanks. That was really helpful. I'm going to try some of the suggestions for getting quality export from iMovie and if I can't get that to work then I'll try FCPX, for which Apple now offers a free trial.

I recently bought a Canon S100 camera that shoots HD video and took it on a vacation trip. This was my first experience with HD video. The camera produces video in .mov format at 1080p. The clips have been culled and copied to files on the hard drive, where they play perfectly well at full...

I was able to recover the mac.com password by answering the security questions. The problem was that my idea of which was my favorite car changed over the years. That, and the fact that the correct favorite was a 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spyder, which can be represented by a half-dozen variants...

I have two or three Apple IDs collected over some years. Now, when there is a software update, the App Store insists that I must log in with my old mac.com ID that I haven't used in years. I don't know what the password is, and when I click "forgot your password" the email is sent to some email...

The sudo command did it. Thanks. (Slaps forehead) I should have thought of that myself. Gandalf:~ john$ codesign -vvv /Applications/iTunes.app /Applications/iTunes.app: valid on disk /Applications/iTunes.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement Gandalf:~ john$ Oh: and regarding Apple fixing...

I don't think this has anything to do with Apple IDs (though just to be sure, I did check that my old password is valid and I could have changed it if I'd wanted to). Thanks anyway for trying. Recall that the same problem was corrected for me in the past, with an earlier version of OS X, by...

A reasonable suggestion but, alas, one that doesn't work. I hadn't thought of this possibility so I did try it. I tried something I found elsewhere on the web, at http://superuser.com/questions/42776/itunes-app-to-accept-incoming-network-connections, with this result from Terminal: Gandalf:~...

Every time I open iTunes lately a pop-up asks if I want to allow iTunes to accept incoming network connections. Whether I accept or deny, iTunes goes ahead and runs. The firewall preference of course already allows iTunes to accept incoming connections. The same problem arose some months (or...

One reason I posted here was that I figured if it was a server problem I would not be the only person experiencing it. Since in fact I am the only one experiencing it, I was forced to rethink and of course it was all my fault. A couple of weeks ago I bought the new version of Little Snitch and...

Everything was working yesterday but today there are no maps in iPhoto. The map area of the Manage My Places window is blank. The map in the Info for individual photos is blank. The data base for Places is at least partly there because the Manage My Places window still lists all the place names...

I don't recall where I went to look for it. Probably MacUpdate.

Okay, problem solved. First let me describe some more peculiar behavior: Since the mixed-language panes occurred only when trying to open a locked System Preference and only in my user account, it seemed obvious that the problem lay in a corrupted pointer somewhere. This sent me back to the...

It turns out there is no Onyx after 10.6 so I fetched and ran YASU to no avail. I'm ready to give up and live with it. But I would like to know how that happened.

Good suggestion; something I should have thought of myself. I switched to the Admin account and its authorization pane is clean. My copy of Onyx doesn't work on anything past 10.5 so I'll have to go get a current version.
