I have a MacBook Pro. When surfing the web it will eventually slow to a crawl. When this occurs, there will be a small multi-colored wheel spinning until my latest command is handled. What is causing this and is there a way that I can modify or prevent this from happening? Is there a setting that will prevent this?
When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Please help! I have a Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 13" Late 2011. i want to upgrade its RAM from 4GB to 16GB. But OWC sells two kinds of RAM, the DDR3 and the DDR3L.What is the different and which one would work better for my mac. Thanks!!!
I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.
Good luck,

I have an Apple MacBook Pro 1,1 Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have tried to load Native Instruments Guitar Rig 4LE.
It would not load and said the following. System extension cannot be used.
The system extension "/system/library/Extensions/AppleUSBthernetHost.text" was installed improperly and cannot be used.
Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product vendor for an update.
I do not have a copy of the OS X 10.6.8 software. It is second hand so I have no product vendor to contact.
What can I do?You recently updated iTunes to v.11.4? This message has popped up on many a Mac screen when this version was first made available, because this kext was obviously faulty.
You should try to download iTunes 11.4 again from Apple's website: the new version bears the same name, but this kernel extension has been updated, and the issues it was causing are now a thing of the past.
Should solve your problem, too... -
I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

i have reset my macbook pro to factory reset the screen is now asking me to put in my details, do i have too as if i am showing it to someone they need to be able to see it working but does that not mean that my name will be on it. please help
Use a alias, but you might have to use a zip code that matches the location used.
Also if you click the right button there is a way to bypass the registration, like register later or something, Apple has it hidden. Also to bypass the internet connection to send the registration off.
Never place your name on a Mac or PC, it's spread throughout the entire machine, in emails, on the network in plain sight etc. -

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF files to my iPad, via a Hotmail account. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad Mail account already opened at the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent this auto-opening of the PDF. I've seen screen shots with the box, and PDF listed inside the box, but mine open automatically. I want to get them into iBooks...?
I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong? -
When I run out of funds in my I-Tune account (I always redeem I-Tune $15 or $25 prepaid cards) if additional music or apps are purchased, they are billed to my credit card. Why? Is there a way to prevent this?
Roaminggnome:
I have just found a way to do exactly what I wanted to do!
I opened I-Tunes, then clicked on the "Account" link under the heading "Quick Links".
After entering my Account ID and Password, I got the "Account Information" window.
I then clicked on the Edit link at the end of the "Payment Information" line which listed my current credit card information. This opened the "Edit Payment Information" window. On this screen, instead of selecting Visa, etc... I selected NONE and then clicked on DONE at the bottom of the screen. Just like magic, my credit card information disappeared and was replaced by "No Creidt Card on File" which is exactly what I wanted. FYI. -
When I save photos or videos from my iPhone 4S to my PC they are all sideways. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? All are taken with the phone in portrait mode.
Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook?
Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook? We use Apple Configurator and would love to be able to set up the MacBook to open Apple Configurator when we plug in an iPad.
When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad and iphone that I download for them. Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades? My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Is there a setting that would prevent this from happening?
Yes. You can set restrictions.
This is covered in the manual.

Why does multi-colored spin wheel keep coming up and computer is unresponsive?
I have a macbook pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB.
When I am on my user account and on safari and doing other things, the multi colored spin wheel always comes up usually every 20 seconds or so and my computer becomes very sluggish or unresponsive.
Also, when that wheel comes up, my mac makes a faint loading, clicking noise every 4 or 5 seconds.
If I switch to a "test" user account on my mac, everything works fine.
Any suggestions??
Bought this computer in May 2010That is the "Wait cursor". This indicates that computer is busy performing a task and it takes a while.
To resolve the issue follow the suggestions in this article including "Repair Disk".
