I'm trying to copy a file from a mounted .iso file but it says i don't have permission to do so ( error code -39).

Is there any way round this?


Thanks in advance.

For awhile it's been crashing where it randomly goes to black, but I've been able to restart it. However, recently things have gotten much worse. When I restart the computer, it stays on the blue screen even as I can hear programs booting. I have to close the screen and open it back up and click to get to my desktop. I am unable to click on anything or control the sound or brightness for several minutes before all those things become active. All processes are slower than ever. This is incredibly frustrating. I've run numerous cleanup processes but they haven't done much. What can I do to make my computer faster and not crash? ]]> Mac Notebooks wiggumfloss3 http://www.mac-help.com/t212489-need-help-getting-worse-worse.html Traveler Microscope - Mac Driver? http://www.mac-help.com/t212488-traveler-microscope-mac-driver.html Fri, 17 May 2013 23:58:44 GMT I've been given a Traveler USB Microscope. It comes with windows software. I've been looking to download a Mac driver so I can use it on my MBP but can't find anything. Has anyone got any ideas what to do or where I might find the driver or some answers.
Any help would be great.
Thank you.

I am using 10.8.2 on a macbook air. I created a disk image that is 6.5 gigs big (when you do a get info in it it says the size is 6.5G), imaged from a HD that was 19.5 GB. When you do a get info on the image it says its only using 6.5 gigs of the 19 available. When I try to resore the image using Disk Utility to a thumb drive that is 16gigs big I get an error that says there is not enough space on the thumb drive. The thumb drive is empty, formatted with Mac OS Journaled, and is 16gb. I think whats happening is the restore process is seeing the full 19.5 gigs from the original drive I imaged, and not just the 6.5 gigs of data. Why is that? I thought that the image should only have gotten the data, not the tons of free space? I tried using the resize Image option, but it only lets me resize to 18gigs, not small enough to fit on my 16gb drive. How do I delete all the free space in my image?

Thanks

The 50 billionth app — Say the Same Thing by Space Inch, LLC — was downloaded by Brandon Ashmore from Mentor, Ohio, who received a $10,000 App Store Gift Card to commemorate the milestone. “The App Store completely transformed how people use their mobile devices and created a thriving app ecosystem that has paid out over nine billion dollars to developers,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “We’re absolutely floored to cross this milestone in less than five years.”

Just bought new HD for my old G4 iBook. I got a Hitachi HTS541660J9AT00 6OGB ATA/IDE to replace the Hitachi HTS541210H9AT00 100GB ATA/IDE one that was broken.
However, when I tried to install my 10.3.9 disc onto it, it does not recognise the new HD as a Volume. Comes up with Error 36. I have tried partitioning the HD using Disc Utility but, although both partitions come up when I try to install, they both have red exclamation marks on them and it will still not install!
I have been told that the new HD is an ATA-133 and not an ATA-100 as the old HD was, which is why it will not install. But through further research I found that there is not much difference between ATA-133 & 100, just a bit faster, and they should be interchangable.

Help. Is my new ATA-133 Hard Drive useless for my 14" G4 iBook? But if not, how do I install 10.3.9 onto it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,

I have purchased and install a new time machine (3 TB) and was going to sell the old smaller one, but I want to permanently erase all the data securely before I sell it. How do I do this please?

Suddenly, I sometimes see only an empty white field. My Flash is up to date (11.7.700.169). Even if I disable ClicktoFlash, I get the same empty field instead of the video preview.

Is this issue caused by ClicktoFlash? Could it be something else? How can I find out?

It is noteworth that in Firefox (20.0), the video previews that do not work in Safari, show up fine.
