fixed1t Apple Mac Support Renamed To Apple Mac Support Fixes
Hi, as you know I've been publishing 'Working' Mac Support Fixes and associated 'How I Do It' Youtube videos for some years, but realised that having fixed1t at the start of the title reduced Blog traffic and views.
Therefore, I've renamed the Blog to:
Apple Mac Support Fixes
Please delete your previous fixed1t Mac Support Bookmark and updated your bookmarks to this page. I've also taken the opportunity to embed some links in some of my youtube videos, as a banner note in the top right hand corner, to take you to a playlist of fixed1t videos on the related topic, so you won't have to search around for the next videos. Please try it out by selecting one of my recent Apple Mac Yosemite videos and let me know if this works. by leaving a note on this post, thanks.
I've also decided this blog shouldn't only be about the fixes I've already created, but should be an active tool for others to post items on, so if you find an Apple Mac Support problem that you'd like me to investigate and try and find a fix for, just post a question on this Blog and I'll try and take a look, if I solve it I'll post the solution.
Thanks for your continued support.
Malcolm (aka fixed1t)

Fixing iTunes Error - 45054 dont have enough access privileges
Hi,
One of my fixed1t software users did an update which included iTunes with a view to moving to Mavericks. He then went to open iTunes to test it out but it totally refused to work and displayed the following dialogue:
Clicking OK then brought up the following Dialogue:
He asked if I could kindly take a look into it and I have 'Another fixed1t Software Solution.
Looking at the relevant iTunes files and associated files and folders I spotted that the Users folder was missing an innocuous System Folder named Shared that needs to be present in the Users Folder.
Given that iTunes and other Applications and Processes use this folder to hold and share privileges, amongst other things, I set about to replace it.
As this is a System folder it isn't simply a matter of right clicking and adding a new folder called Shared in the Users folder. To do this, you have to do a little bit of Unix coding using the free Apple Terminal Program.
Terminal in found in the Utilities folder which is within the Applications folder:
Open the terminal window and type in the following Unix command mkdir to make a new Directory Folder within the Users folder and press Return:
sudo mkdir -p /Users/Shared/
If you have the Users folder open on the desktop it should now look like this:
A Shared folder should now be visible. However, this isn't the end of the job. The permission on this new folder will not allow iTunes to use it. To make the folder fully accessible your use the Unix Command chmod to and set it to the folders permissions and privileges to 1777 (if your running Mac OS 10.6 as I am here). If your running Mac OS 10.5 use the code 777) These codes give the shared folder a kind of 'Universal Donor' status so it can be used by other programs and processes, sort of permissions to all.
So at the Terminal Prompt now type:
sudo chmod 1777 /Users/Shared
After pressing Return, the job is done and you can quit the Terminal.
When you go back to the Applications Folder and open iTunes it should now spring back into life with the errors gone, it worked for me.
As with all system fixes, it would be advisable to logout and log back in again to see if it still works. If it doesn't rebuild and fix the disc permissions.
I'll do another blog about that shortly.

Emptying The Cache In Mavericks Safari
Why can't software designers leave the user interface of software alone and concentrate on making it more stable and quicker you ask? Well, thats because UI is a quick win "Look What I Did, Doesn't It Look Cool" even if it slooowwws things down and makes it problematic. So after messing up safari, here's how to kill the latest cache from the new secret (NOT) hidden items.

fixing Mac Adobe Creative Suite White Registration Window Lock Up Error
It always happens, just when you think you've got the handle on things and you decide to do that quick 10 minute job, then have an early night, you discover things have broken. LOL, Such as it was a couple of nights ago. And did I do the sensible thing and 'go to bed' nope, in the words of Conan Doyle voiced by Sherlock Holmes, "the game is afoot".
I was about to put a couple of lines on my fixed1t website, I hit the button and rather than Dreamweaver springing into life, a blank white pane appears and all the menus were locked up, the only exit from this was a forced exit.
I searched the adobe site, and used their software to reset the licensing, but to no effect. I even deleted all of the software and re-installed it twice to no effect. I also looked at the package trace and the Activity monitor. I then installed dreamweaver an older machine, and realised the window form that was opening blank was the online registration form. So after further deliberation and testing, I have created the following Youtube video showing people how to fix and avoid the problem.

If this fixed your problem and saved you valuable time please consider making a small donation using the Donate button at the top of the right hand column. Even a few dollars really helps and we all know how expensive it is to call an expert in. But if you don't wish to donate thats fine but it would useful if you could give the fix a thumbs up and pop back to leave a message.
Please check out my other videos and blogs.
Many Thanks

Fixing iTunes 45054 Part 2 - What To Do If The Shared Folder Already Exists?
Hi,
I'm really happy that my itunes fix is helping so many of you. I've received some comments to a posting on the Apple Community from those who have looked for and found the Shared folder and are a little stuck as what to do.
If the folder already exists then skip the mkdir step:
Go straight to the chmod section:
To make the folder fully accessible your use the Unix command chmod to and set it to the folders permissions and privileges to 1777 (if your running Mac OS 10.6 as I am here). If your running Mac OS 10.5 use the code 777) These codes give the shared folder a kind of 'Universal Donor' status so it can be used by other programs and processes, sort of permissions to all.
So at the Terminal Prompt now type:
sudo chmod 1777 /Users/Shared

Then try to start iTunes, it really should work. If it doesn't use the disk Utilities to repair your permissions and then restart your machine a try again.
