When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • Three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

    three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • I'm not familiar with MAC's.  Trying to insert turbo tax cd into my Dad's Mac OS X version 10.5.8 but it won't go in/stay.  Help please!

    I am not familiar with MAC's.  I am trying to insert Turbo Tax CD into my Dad's Mac.  But, the CD will not go in/stay in.  Need some help with this, anyone have an answer?  I would greatly appreciate it!  Thanks!

    Confused: You say nothing will "catch" in the slot, which I take to mean the optical drive won't accept anything. Just spits it out. Then you say you thought there was an eject button to push, which would imply there's a stuck disc inside.
    If it's the latter, try holding down the mouse while booting.

  • I can't seem to find any information on how to troubleshoot why I can't scroll down with my optical mouse. It works fine otherwise.

    My mouse works fine except it just started not letting me scroll down.  I can't find anything on how to clean it.  I tried unplugging the mouse from the keyboard then the keyboard from its USB port and there was no change.

    If it's the Mighty Mouse with the scroll ball on top then the problem is usually debris logged under the ball.
    Turn the mouse over and rub briskly with a microfiber cloth.  It should clear it.

  • How to remove other family members photo albums that automatically downloaded to my iphone and are taking up storage on my phone

    when I set up my 'new' iphone 4, itunes automatically downloaded to my phone my other family members photos albums. How do I remove them? The labums that I do not want on my phone are taking up storage space on my phone!! I am obviously not tech savvy!!

  • I am the administrator of my computer with other family members having accts. One member is grayed out and no one can access that acct.  Why and what do I do about it?

    I am the administrator of my iMac with other family members having accts.
    One members acct. is grayed out and cannot be accessed by anyone except him.
    I had put parental controls on it but now I cannot access it or change anything.
    I don't have permission.??

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

    The firmware was likely changed and it's not compatible anymore or the disk is bad.
    I was able to boot using the Snow Leopard disc from both my new MBP and my girlfriends MB, but both said that OS X could not be installed on this computer, and I couldn't even use the disc utility to wipe the drive.
    Those disks don't have the hardware drivers your machine needs.
    Your going to need to get a Snow Leopard retail install disk from Amazon/elsewhere.
    Do I need to have a serial number to reinstall OS X?
    Thankfully No.

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

  • How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?

    How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?
    Have an Exchange mail account setup and accessible in my mail on iPad... however my kids use it and i would like to restrict them from accessing this specific portion of the device.  I tried viewing restriction options and do not see that i can apply a restriction specifically to Mail.  Thanks for your help.

    Not a feature of iOS. Check the AppStore to see if there are other
    mail apps that allow passcode protection.
    Or use Safari to log onto your email via a web-based interface and
    enter your credentials each time. A bit slower, but the kids will
    not know the details to login.
