Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

There is nothing you can do with iMovie program itself. Slow response in usually due to a shortage of system resources (CPU, RAM and disk space).
How much free disk space do you have on your boot drive and what is the capacity of the drive?
You can check memory utilization while running iMovie using Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities). What does the Memory tab show for Swap used?
Are you running many other processor-intensive applications a the same time?
If you have a lot of events and projects, it will help a bit to hide the ones you are not using by moving them from your iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders into an enclosing folder so iMovie doesn't load them.

When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder? The endless scrolling technique is far too tedious when trying to add a new bookmark, because the window is simply too tiny. Is there maybe a plug-in that will let me grab the corner of that window and re-size it? Thanks!
I suggest you install the "Add Bookmark to Here2" extension, then you can expand the the list but you will not see the bookmark itself in the list if that is what you wanted. At the top you have three major folders you can select one of them and scroll up and down. Below that you have your most recently used folders and you can select one of them instead and scroll up and down. You can see the folder the bookmark is in -- they get added to the bottom
If you really want to see the bookmark within the folder the same extension allows you to bring the bookmark to the folder from say the bookmarks sidebar that is why it is named as such. I use it but mainly i use the dialog.
Please continue reading about bookmarks and some related extensions at

If you are not using tags at all, you can remove a whole lot of confusion by removing them from the dialog via the extension. -
My mac air is running slugiish and my internet connection takes forever to change windows...what can I do?
If the computer is brand new, it may be reviewing (indexing) all you files for search. This will take a few hours to complete. Otherwise you likely have a program that is running poorly and slowing your system down.
Open the Fibder
Click the Go menu at the top of the screen
Click on utilities menu item under go
Open the Activity Monitor
When Activity monitor opens, there will be a lot of data in the window, to make better sense of it click on the column labeled CPU. This will sort entries by how much of your computer's CPU they use. The lower the number the better.
Locate any programs using 80% or more of your CPU. They are the likely culprits of your speed issue.
If the speed issue is only related to surfing the internet, then you more than likely have an issue with WiFi instead. Try moving closer to your wireless router to see if it speeds up. -

Just purchased a new iPad and the sound works on Siri, music, videos, alarms, but on games it will not. Is this a preference or perhaps a defective unit.
Double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar (at bottom) to the right. Check volume and mute settings.

I have just setup a new ipad and first app I downloaded was ibook. my ipad says its installed but I can't find it. any suggestions please?
For some reason this happens to some people. The one thing that works is to reboot your iPad. To reboot: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad wil restart. Once it's back up, I'm betting you'll see iBooks.

I believe my macbook pro hard drive is bad. I erased the drive and reinstalled the OS and the macbook still runs really slow. I dont know if the hard drive is the issue.
Did you try an SMC reset too? It's easily done and none of those resets to the best of my knowledge hurt anything. When I was fooling with my system, which at one point was a home made Fusion setup, I needed to reset the SMC sometimes to get the drives recognized. Reading the documentation the sudden motion sensor is drive related but that seems to be about it.
Some more specifics may be needed about the drive itself, the model number of your unit, and the OS version you're running.
At present, the problem seems sort of odd to me. FWIW cable problems can be quite intermittent. I used Scannerz to find some of the problems on my original system that I later converted to a new HD and SSD combo. It can find lots of problems if you learn how to use it right (HD problems, logic board system faults, and cable problems) but you need to get a system at least partially up and running to use it, and it doesn't sound to me like your there right now (in other words, don't go out and buy it because at this point I don't know how it could help you)
Another word of advice would be to not go out and start throwing parts at a problem unless you have a good idea what the source of the problem is. If you have a logic board problem, new drives and new cables won't make it go away, you'll just be wasting your money. Logic board problems, cable problems, and drive problems can all have very similar end user symptoms. The article that I linked above named "Hard Drive Problems" has a section on general symptoms of problems and if you read the article it becomes clear there's a lot of overlap associated with different types of problems.
I assume that your unit isn't under warranty. If, by chance it is I wouldn't even fool with it and I'd take it to Apple and let them deal with the problem. You also might want to check with whatever Apple sources you have available to test your system, like an Apple store, and see how much they'll charge (if anything) to evaluate the system.
I certainly hope this helps. -
i have a ipod touch 2nd generation 8gb 4.2.1 im new to itunes i made a itunes account but it says i need a payment method is there anyway i can use my paypal if not is there a way to not have to use a payment method for itunes store please help ty
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Using those instructions you may also be able to select PayPal if that is allowed in your country. -
What does 'include render files' option mean for when I duplicate a project. I deselected it and the duplicated file is very slow so maybe this has affected it. It's a shame cause original project is deleted. Have I lost the rendered files? Thanks
Yes, if you duplicate without the render files and delete the original project you lose the render files. But render files get recreated - automatically if you have it set in the preferences (which is the default option). It just takes time.

Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library? I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC. I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos. The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor. I am using IPhoto 11.
Thanks in advance

I just opened my new earphones and the volume buttons don't work! Help
I just used my iPhone 5s earphones the first time yesterday and the volume buttons don't work. I tried unplugging them and then plugging them in again and they still don't work. Also when I plug in any kind of earphones in my phone it doesn't completely go in, is that supposed to happen?
Never mind, I found out why it didn't work. Since my phone and earphones were new the earphones didn't plug in well. So when I plugged it into my mac it went all the way in and the buttons worked. When I plugged it back in my phone it went al the way in this time and the buttons worked.
