I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day.  It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account.  The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines.  I have been to the local Genius bar and through trial and error we have determined that Mail is working ok but somehow the account is causing the problem.  I have used this account for years.  Any ideas what is causing this?

No idea why, but one thing you may try if you have the time, is create a new user, and set up the problem mail account in the new user space. See if it causes your MBP to hang as well.  That will tell you if it is something wrong with your main User, or something wrong with MBP.
Assuming this works, I'd nuke the problem account in your main user space, re-start, and reinititate the account and see if that helps.
Depening on how many email accounts you have setup, it may be necessary to nuke the whole Mail folder in your User/Library....   Hard way to get it to work, but just my idea.

  • My firefox crashed when I was on Facebook and now facebook won't load up right while on Firefox but will on Internet Explorer, any ideas what would cause this?

    Facebook loads but the page is all messed up and can't click on the stuff in the right place. It loads up fine on Internet Explorer.

    This is probably some corruption in the settings file that stores the on-screen position of the Firefox window. Could you try the steps in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen]. Any luck?

  • TS1398 my new ipad works perfectly. the iphone 5, however, cannot connect to the same wifi, can barely get a 3G signal, and the power level is at 53% after being barely used for 1\2 a day. Is this a hardware problem?? My old 3Gs was fine until it died.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have coloured vertical lines about a quarter of the way from the left of the picture when using my apple tv 2. Anyone got any idea what is causing it. Have done a reset but still same. ATV2 is only a month old.

    Just to make sure, try a different set of cables. If the problem persists, have the unit replaced by Apple.

  • HT1338 Videos created in iMovie and also played in iMovie occasionally have white steaks. There doesn't seem to be a conflict in fps. Any idea what is causing the flickers?

    Videos played and produced in IMovie have white streaks, like flickers sporatically throughout. I don't think there's a conflict with fps. The videos imported do not have the streaks, it's only after they have been imported into IMovie. Any idea what is causing this?

    I have just read your thread and will respond more fully after you have read through the link provided in this thread. Right now I want to point out where I do not agree especially with SG's "The text can only be one line long" when it comes to the Premiere Elements Titler Text Animation Feature. Not so.
    For starters, please check out my blog post on the Premiere Elements Titler Text Animations and a sampling of some of the text animation effects that can be achieved in the Premiere Elements Titler Text Animation feature.

  • I have two graphics workers on osx 8.  They are both complaining that their files are changing label colors on it own.  Any idea what could cause this?

    I have two graphics workers on osx 8.  They are both complaining that their files are changing label colors on it own.  Any idea what could cause this?

    and there were and have been problems with any two nvidia cards which was the main part of my question.
    To provie details try pasting all but serial number from system profile. Sorry but Mac Pro tells me nothing, not model, year, or what graphic card it came with or updated with.

  • I'm using Logic 9 with a Macbook Pro. On one project I'm getting a message ' not enough processor power.' I've tried freezing all tracks but this seems to have no effect. I've also bounced all soft synths to audio.

    I'm using Logic 9 with a Macbook Pro. On one project I'm getting a message 'not enough processor power' and the computer stops playing
    I've tried freezing all tracks but this has no effect. I've also bounced all soft synth tracks to audio, but to no avail. The computer stops playing
    even at the start of the track where there is nothing but a kick drum happening.......

    Thank you for the suggestions.
    I had previously tried all of the above but the airport/wireless thought. Unfortuneately, none of these things made a difference, including the wireless suggestion.
    Currently, I am using my Mac's "cheapo" internal audio hardware  (haha). I have a one year old 27-inch iMac,  a good pair of bose speakers, and a polk sub. I don't believe it is an issue with my setup, considering I completely disconnected and unplugged it.
    I did, however, do a little info hunting on the internal audio situation, since I was curious what is actually included, and I stumbled upon this interesting little tidbit about my model of iMac:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2718054?start=0&tstart=0
    I had previously wondered if I was hearing my mouse in my speakers as well (not just in logic). It appears that this model of iMac may have some grounding issues, as someone later in the thread suggested purchasing and using a ground loop isolator, which seemed to fix any extra interference for them.
    Ironically though, I have since opened logic, and do not seem to be encountering my previous static issue(yet).
    Fingers crossed, hoping that I will not be experiencing it again. Going to purchase a ground loop isolator, and continue to mess around with logic, just to make sure it was not just an internal audio issue with my iMac.

  • I'm getting a blank 'FAQ" window on my iMac running Google chrome after I close it or when the imac is switched on. Any ideas what is causing it and can I get rid of it?

    I'm getting a blank 'FAQ" windown on my mac after closing Google Chrome or on start up. Any ideas what it is, what is causing it and how to get rid of it?
    Many thanks

    Try another browser such a Safari. If you get the same issue then it's probably the site, if it works OK on another browser then it's probably Chrome and you should re-post on a Chrome forum discussion board.

  • I bought an Apple TV two days ago for a lg tv.  We had a blue ray player on one HDTV connection.  It was working fine.  Unhooked that plugged in the apple and ... Nothing.  No Signal.  The on light illuminates all cords tight.  Do I take it back to store?

    I bought an Apple TV  two days ago.  Followed instructions to hook up and light is on on box.  Unplugged working HDTV connection on tv -it has two more unused - and made final Apple TV HDTV connect to tv tight.  Flip over from cable and...  no signal!  Everything else fine blue ray back to same port and works fine.  Do I take this back to store for replacement?  Might be new cord or Apple TV,
    .  Tried other ports on tv with no success.  Thanks for any suggestions.  Oh yes, mountain lion on air up to date on iPad and iPad min...

    I would test it with the tv of friends and or relatives to verify it was broken
    (I would do that with all such devices before taking them back)

  • Time Capsule Hard Disk Disappears from Windows 7 PC without changing anything on the PC, then reappears for no reason. Any Ideas what would cause this?

    Now spent hours trying to fix this problem. I am using a disk password, When I go into the explorer, around 1/4 of the time the timecapsule appears in the browse, and the other 3/4's it can not be found. I can leave the pc, then come back after a while and the disk is back.

    i'd also like to add that the time capsule is still recognised on the mac partition of my macbook pro, and also both mac and windows xp (as a network drive) on my iMac!

  • Firefox 4 not working with Javascript. Cannot close window. Any ideas?

    I first noticed the problem in my web site, but now in other sites. When I open a window and try to press the button to close it, it doesn't work. Code is: javascript:window.close();
    It worked in previous version of Firefox but not since I loaded 4.0. I tried it in Explorer and it works fine.

    Hi, I've noticed the same issue . But for me this happens if I use Print Preview first. JavaScript works just fine before using Print Preview. But the most interesting thing is that when using javascript:window.close(); after Print Preview all that happens is that the character set of the page changes. On the other hand the character set works properly only after Print Preview. Interesting...

  • How to share and update one iTunes master library on an external HD between an iMac and iBook

    Hi.  I am in the process of consolidating and switching gears from storing my iTunes libraries (which have roughly the same files) on both my iMac and iBook (both OS 10.7.5) to creating one master library on an external hard drive (Canvio Connect 2TB) and sharing that between both computers, updating the laptop (which I use less frequently) when necessary. I wanted to know if this is possible and if so, how to go about doing this in a way where I don't lose any data and am able to maintain it efficiently.  Thanks!

    There is a library file on the external drive that contains a list of all the tracks you have put into iTunes.  The list points to media files iTunes plays are on the external drive too.  Using the instructions I provided you tell the iTunes application on each computer to start up using the library file on the external drive.  If you add a file to iTunes while using computer #1 the file will be copied to the media folder on the external drive and the library file on the external drive will be updated to show there is a new file.  When you plug the same drive into computer #2 and start iTunes it takes the file listing from the library file on the external drive.  You are using the one library with each computer and it exists only on the external drive which both computers use.  They are truly sharing the same single copy of the  library.
    I have a box with objects inside and a list inside with an updated inventory of the objects. I give the box to you. You take some objects out and put some in and make a note in the list of what you have done, then put the list back inside and hand the box to me.  How do I know what changes you have done?  Simple.  I open the box and look at the list.  It's the same list that was in your hands only moments before.  I add a few objects and update the list, put it back inside the box and hand the box to you.  How do you know what changes have been made? Simple.  Open the box and read the list which was the one I updated moments before.  The only copy of the list is in the box so neither of us is needing to keep our own copy of the list updated.
    Everything iTunes needs to generate your library listing is in the iTunes folder, but it doesn't have to be on the computer.  In your case it will all be on the external drive and each copy of the iTunes application on each computer will look and use the same identical library file on the external drive as you pass it from computer to computer.  Once you have set this up you can delete the entire iTunes folder in Music from your computer because the application will no longer be using it.  The only thing "iTunes" left on the computer will be the application itself, but each copy will have been told to use the library on the external drive.
    Okay, enough.  I've said the same thing about 4 ways now.

  • Share fails when I try to share a large movie file (6.3g) to a very fast SD chip. Works fine sharing to a hard disk. Any ideas

    Share fails when I try to share a very large project file (6.3g) to a very fast SD chip. Works fine sharing to a hard disk. Using iMovie 10.0.5. Any ideas?

    If the volume's formatted as FAT32, it can't hold files which are 4GB or larger regardless of how much free space it has.

  • Any idea what happened in this crash and if my MacBook needs work?

    A friend of mine suggested that I post the crash report here to see if anyone knows what happened and whether I need to do anything. I would go to a Genius Bar, but the nearest Apple Store to me is 3 hours away
    Here's what happened:
    I was working in Firefox when the computer screen suddenly went completely black without warning or any sounds. I tiled the monitor forward slightly and the screen came back up for an instant before a partly opaque gray curtain fell from the top of the screen to the bottom. Then a message showed up on the far left - the box was half off the screen - saying I needed to shut down my computer. I did. I waited a few minutes and powered it on. The screen was gray with tiny gray horizontal pinstripes for a while with the apple logo (also crossed with the pinstripes) while it was booting up. However, it never fully booted up. I had to shut it down again. I booted it as a target drive with another computer to copy over important documents. Then, I ejected it and shut it down. Then I powered it on, and this crash report showed up after it booted up.
    And below is the crash report.
