RATS! I tried the method you suggested and the ElMedia player went away and the files could be opened. I worked with a few files earlier and everyone I tried opened and worked. A few minutes ago, I tried to work with another one of the files and…

Thanks Tallest Skil, You saved me from pulling the rest of my hair out.

I see that it is an old thread, but colleenamareena asked the question 1 day 12 hours ago. I was answering that post. Wrong answer, of course.

I have had a bunch of similar problems after upgrading to Mavericks. One thing that has helped occasionally (but not permanently) is 'Force Quit' (command - option - escape) and then relaunching 'Finder'. So every time I have a problem, I take a f…

Methods described in Help and online & drag and drop / copy and paste, FAILED to import old contacts into Mavericks’ Contacts. As I needed those contacts, I was determined to keep hunting for a solution. Eureka! I found one. I ‘Exported’ Addr…

I don't think there is a problem leaving an external drive on provided it is spinning down appropriately, but I would be more concerned about the reluctance to mount or eject, which may suggest a controller problem. Presumably you don't mean tha…

Thanks. Another question, but don't feel you must answer if you're uncomfortable doing so - For the present, I'm using my external backup as my main HDD. It's a new WD black caviar 2TB HDD in a Rosewill enclosure w/fan. It doesn’t mount the …

I accept your chastisement; however, in my defense, I’m in my 80’s and this old dog probably can’t be taught very many new tricks. At one time, years ago, I taught (command line) DOS, dBase II, WordPerfect, Lotus123, and later, Fortran at a local co…

Then, why doesn't Apple explain how to do it? If a user is supposed to RTFM, what manual? I switched to a Mac after twenty some years of using a PC because it was supposed to be more intuitive. At one time, I thought it was, but now everything seem…

It's another example of where a simple Google or Apple Support search would immediately have yielded the answer. The directory structure hasn't changed - the Library directories are just hidden by default. From the Finder, in the "Go" menu, ch…

That probably would have worked in another OS X; however, there is NO users' Library in the Mavericks that downloaded. If it's hidden, I don't know how to unhide it. In this copy, the only items that appear under Users are Desktop, Documents, Dow…

Belay that last request. Although the vCards wouldn't import from a backup, I was able to import them from my ISP address book.

Next problem: How do I import Contacts from a backup? I found this: Import contacts from an archive file Importing an archive file replaces your current contact information. Choose File > Import. Select the archive file, then click Open …

Thanks. That worked. How do you learn things like this? When I bought my first PC in the early 80's, it came with a stack of manuals about 8" high. Now, Help, Searchlight, etc. gives many answers to questions that weren't asked, but nothing about …

Too expensive. Well, I have the framework from Time Machine (as of last week). I could rebuild the file if I could get into my internal HDD. Apple, in it's infinite wisdom, chose not to provide access to that HDD since I did a clean install of Mav…

I have a whole slew of new problems since doing a clean install of Mavericks. The most pressing is that the internal HDD doesn't show up in the Finder. I was able to mount the externals with Disk Utility, but the internal HDD 'Mount' is grayed out.…

Belay that last request. Safari seems to be behaving - for the nonce.

Unfortunately, Time Machine wasn't up to date; however, it did have week old info which helps considerably. Thanks. Is there any other way to retrieve what was trashed? I would like last week's info, too.

So far; so good. Safari is working and goes to the URL. It isn't draining memory quite as much as before. However, every time a URL is accessed, it takes up about 120 MB which doesn't quit when the site is left. Each one shows up in the Activity…
