I have just returned from a business trip to China and my Macbook is not well. My internet connection is very slow and drops out intermittently. Is there a utility I can run which might clean it up.

Hello,
I have very similar problem. Suddenly Firefox stopped work - It was working few days after ver. 4 update. I was looking everywhere for some solution but nothing worked.
- uninstalled firewall - did not worked
- added full exception for Firefox into the firewall - did not worked
- Firefox reinstall - did not worked
- Firefox complete reinstall (registry included) - did not worked
- IPv6 diseabling - did not worked
- diferent proxy options (no proxy, system proxy, autodetect proxy) - did not worked
- new firefox profile - did not worked
- complete coockies, history... deleted - did not worked
- there is only one solution which partly works - I have used public proxy addresses for Firefox but the ping is (750ms), down/up (0.8MB/0.2MB originaly (10MB/2MB) and yes I have tried different proxy server from different countries from my included.
- IE is working perfectly and without proxy
- other companies browser - did not worked too
- only IE is working
- I have used three different malware, trojans, spyware, anti-virus programs and nothing
It seems to me as hopeless situation or very clever move from Microsoft, I am forced to use IE - at least this works
Any ideas, solutions?
System Windows 7, firewall Comodo Internet security
Thanks everyone for the help

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?
after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

I have just returned home from holiday and reset my phone to icloud (having said it wouldn't lose any information) I now find that I appear to have lost all my holiday photos. Has anyone got an idea how to retrieve them?
If you've enabled PhotoStream, you should be able to find photos there. Otherwise, you are SOL.

I have Soundtrack Pro 1.1 It opens OK but the everything takes 4 or so seconds to work. It's very slow and unusable in its present state. Is this a well known problem?
STP 3.0.1 was the version designed to work with OSX 10.6.8. Anything earlier than that and issues may arrise. Hard to tell what yours are.
You may want to run Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to reset the prefs back to the default state. If nothing else, it is a good troubleshooting step.
Good luck.

I am unable to connect my iPad to the internet following a trip. My home WiFi is working on my desktop, so I know I should be able to connect. I'm a cyber-nincompoop and can't figure it out...please help!
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

If any of the above solutions work, please post back what solved your problem. It will help others with the same problem.

Model : Macbook 2008
Symptoms: The screen was, intermittently, going black last year and then went black completely. I have been using it on a monitor ever since.
I can see the screen with a flashlight.
I completely erased the drive and loaded OSx 10.7. I believe that's the last version of OSx Mac will be supporting on this computer.
When I booted up the computer this morning the screen came on !
While typing this question, my screen went black again, not to return.
So sad.
I did bring it to Apple and they believed the entire screen needed to be replaced.
They say that they tried a new inverter and it didn't work.
I have a feeling I'm just out of luck unless I want to cough up the $300 to fix the screen.
Although it is a solid machine, 2Ghz processor with 4 gigs of ram, it is still six years old.
I imagine that's like putting a new transmission in a 95 Honda civic. Yeah, it's a reliable car but it's old and it's probably going to break again.
I love my mac so much but I can't justify buying a new one or paying to fix this old one.
I have a Gateway dual booting Windows 7 and ubuntu linux that's actually pretty slick and has taken it's place on business trips and coffee shop excursions.
If anyone has any thoughts or feedback I'd appreciate it.The current Apple hardware warranty provides the following coverage for replacement parts:
A replacementpart or product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance withinstructions provided by Apple, assumes the remaining warranty of the Apple Product orninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coveragefor you.
Check your particular warranty and see where you stand as to the period of coverage.
Good luck,

The Air Port fan icon on the menu bar is greyed out and when I click it to connect a message appears ' the wi fi network could not be joined '. The wi fi is turned on both on the router and selected as on in the screen drop down. The smart phone works perfectly with the wi fi router so it must be something to do with the Mac book. It worked fine before I took it to Italy. It does work Ok using an Ethernet cable. Could it be that some Italian IP's are being stored in the laptop and the UK IP is not being recognised? Any ideas on what could be done? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks !

I have a MacBook Pro opperating on Mavericks, Apple is all new to me having switched over from Windows, my question is, I have been unable to download my two COLLINS talking English and French, both worked well on Windows but will not download on my MacBook, is there a method or way to download, help please
I don't know these programs myself, but I suspect they are not written for Mac (if they are, it will say so on the packaging somewhere). If they are Windows only, then your only alternatives are as follows:
You can use Boot Camp which comes with your Mac to install a copy of Windows on your Mac so that you can boot into windows and run this software via Windows. This, of course, requires you to have a copy of Windows that you can install on the Mac. Copies of versions of Windows can be purchased via e-bay etc.
Alternatively, see if you can find similar software that is Mac compatible (this may be a cheaper option) on Amazon or other sites. -

My computer is getting slower and slower. Is there a standard utility I can run to clean things up?
My Imac is getting slower and slower. Is there a standard utility I can run that will clean things up? I am an old PC guy but changed to Mac about 5 years ago. PC had a program called DeFrag. Is there anything like that for the Mac? Thanks, Rick
Rick,
A Mac that loses performance can be caused by many many things. Forget about Defrag, that isn't the problem and is something done by PC users in the 1990s. The more common things to check are RAM (do you have enough) and Login Items. You can easily check if you need a RAM upgrade by operating your computer as you normally do and opening Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and click the System Memory tab. In the lower left you will see:
Free
Wired
Active
Inactive
Used
If the amount of Free RAM is in the vicinity of 500MB or less your system needs more RAM.
To check the Login Items navigate to System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items. If you seen applications in the list that you don't need loading when you login simply highlight them and click the - symbol at the bottom of the box to remove them.
Finally I would recommend your visit and read 25 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac.

I have just moved from using Windows all my life to buying a Mac Book Pro running on OS Lion. But my accounting softwares Tally 7.2 and Tally 9 do not run on it.
I just learnt that the software platform of Tally Accounting softwares are specific to Windows only.
I need to run the accounting software, Mail and several spread sheets and documents at the same time.
Is there some way I can do this on the Mac Lion OS?
Help solicited !Yes, you can share files across a network as long as the network server is setup so your Mac can connect to it. See Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to shared computers and file servers on a network, Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect your Mac directly to a Windows computer, Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to a Mac from a Windows computer, and Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to shared computers and servers using a network address.

I have recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand and transited for 6 hours in China. Since returning to the UK my maps app on Iphone 5 will not show my surroundings in hybrid or satellite. I have also noticed that the data from section that usually displays data from TOM TOM and others now just says others. Has anyone encountered this before or know how to get the Satellite function on maps back?
Your phone is "stuck" in the Chinese version of maps. This also happened to me once I got back from China recently. I believe I solved the problem by logging out of iCloud and reloging in.
BTW the App Store app was also stuck in China. It only displayed Chinese characters and I had to log out and relogin.
Hope this helps.
