I recently installed MacKeeper on my iMac. It was a disaster.  I lost applications and files. Fortunately I had back up. Worst of all it did something to my system software that it takes about 7 minuts to stat-up.  What can I do to get it to start-up faster?
Thanks

Given you have a backup you may want to think about erasing the hard drive and reinstalling Snow Leopard then restore your backup.

  • Was told I purchased an iMac i7, but just discovered it is an i5. Just saw in system info that it's an i5 not an i7!  What can I do?

    I checked the system info this morning because I wanted to see if it reported the extra 4GB RAM that I purchased and had them install and saw that it reported my computer as an i5 and not the i7 that I specifically asked to purchase and told that's what I was purchasing.  What can I do about this?  They were new in training but I thought they would not have gotten something as important as this wrong.  I'm very upset about this unless the system is reporting it wrongly.  Is there somewhere else I could check to see what I really have?  I'm new to Macs.  I love the product but not being misled or used as a guinea pig when sit comes to training new Apple employees.
    Thank you for this great forum!

  • My iPad recently flew off my SUV (embarrassing!) while driving, which mangled the back initially.  But a little while later, the glass cracked as well.  Without buying a new iPad (tight budget), what can be done to get it repaired?  Thanks!

    Looking for some help.  I'm on a tight budget and had an embarrassing mishap in which my iPad (1st Gen) flew off my SUV while driving!    I felt fortunate at first, because the iPad still works, but then the glass cracked a little while later.  Mega-bummer as I used my iPad a lot - great product that I used on the road and in my recliner at home!    The following are some pictures before the glass cracked.  I would really value any assistance that can be provided as I look into getting the iPad repaired vs. replaced.  Many thanks!
    One of my many questions is, would it be possible to get the glass replaced and just have the back bent back into place?
    Power Button, Volume Control and Rotation Lock (or Mute/Unmute) - none of these work at present.  I presume that the aluminum is crimped down on the buttons.
    Side profile - has a curve in it... similar photo to follow.
    ... and a shot of the back.
    I must say, the iPad in its case was pretty durable considering that it flew off my SUV while picking up speed in upwards of 50 mph!  Hats off to Apple for a good product!    Thanks!

    Apple does not repair,  they replace.
    I do not think they will touch your ipad since it was obviously abused and is not covered by warranty.

  • When I start my iMac up it takes about 20 minutes to start

    Hi since a few weeks, whenever I reboot my iMac it takes about 20 minutes before the login screen appears.  Is it possible that a program called "daisydisk" has something to do with it?

    Hello:
    If you have some third-party software (translate daisydisk) installed, remove it.  That is the first place to start.

  • My imac takes about eight minutes to be fully functional after a cold start or from the sleep mode. The hard drive sounds like it has to go through a number of gyrations before being fully loaded. When I first bought the imac start up was much faster

    My Imac takes about 8 minutes to be fully functional after a restart or awakened from the sleep mode. I can hear the hard drive making a number of gyrations before it's ready to let me do stuff. This is a 5 year old machine and was much faster in the beginning. Any suggestions?

    Impossible to say however it may need more RAM, or if you have been turning it off every day it isn't given the opportunity to run it's daily, weekly and monthly maintenance. This is all done in the background in the middle of the night. I would recommend following the steps in 25 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac until you find the cause of your slowdown.

  • Ever since installing MacKeeper on my IMac I can no longer watch videos on YouTube, they stop in mid sentence and cannot be restarted!  Could this be a problem with my Snow Leopard

    Ever since installing MacKeeper on my IMac I can no longer watch my subscribed to videos on YouTube!  They start very slowly and then stop mid-sentence and cannot be restarted!  I am wondering if it is time to change to Maverick or try to get rid of MacKeeper.  I purchased it because my email had been hacked and now I am wondering if it was a very unwise decision since experiencing these problems?
    Is there anything that can be done to unstick the YOU TUBE videos?

    Mackeeper is the worst pile of crap you can install. A search of these forums will tell you the same thing over and over.

  • Publication of the big-sized Enterprise projects from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server 2013 takes about 60+ minutes.

    Dear Sirs,
    I need your support over the following MS EPM 2013 issue:
    Publication of the big-sized Enterprise projects from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server 2013 takes about 30+ minutes. We
    need to reduce this total publication time down to acceptable working values 10+- minutes.
    Environment information:
    Single App Server (Virtual): 16 Gb RAM, x64 4xCPU, HDD > 50 GB free disk space, OS Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition x64 Service
    Pack 1, MS SharePoint Server 2013 and MS Project Server 2013 with CU December 2013 (KB 2850024) applied.
    Single RDBMS MS SQL Server (Virtual): 8 Gb RAM, x64 4xCPU, HDD > 200 GB free space, OS Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition x64 Service
    Pack 1, MS SQL Server 2012 x64 SP 1 Enterprise Edition.
    We have 1Gbit LAN between APP, DB server and 1Gbit LAN between APP and Proj Prof Client.
    Yes, we are on the way of migrating to the Prod environment
    with 3-tiered architecture (with SP1 slipstream and CU December 2014 applied), but this issue also
    presents there.
    Project’s file information:
    Tasks in the file: [~4900], resources in the file [~396] enterprise task’s custom fields used in the file [~23].
    Project save procedure for this new project would last about 7 minutes. Project publication would last about 47 minutes. We noticed that
    tasks synchronization process took about 1 second for each ~2,5 tasks, to add them to the sharepoint tasks list. So for all 5148 tasks it took about 5148/3/60 =  34 minutes. Other 13 min was used for reporting database publication and other tasks relevant
    for new sharepoint site creation.
    Case 1: Issue description:
    During the Enterprise project’s file save and publication we have the following sharepoint 2013 log messages:
    07.31.2014 12:43:17.22 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0358) 0x3D5C SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly High Leaving Monitored Scope
    (Persisting list changes). performing time =376.068676326181 22dca99c-4696-70f1-e9e2-06851d0bcffd
    07.31.2014 12:43:17.69 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0358) 0x3D5C SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly High Leaving Monitored Scope
    (Persisting list changes). performing time =361.652807828928 22dca99c-4696-70f1-e9e2-06851d0bcffd
    It shows that sharepoint spend at least ~350 milliseconds (or 0,35 sec*4900 tasks = 1715 sec, or 28,5 min) for each task update during
    project publication. And we also have another log file that shows that about 0,7 sec (or 0,7 sec*4900 tasks = 3430 sec, or 57 min) sharepoint spend for save each task in project file to project server. So total save and publication time more then 60+ minutes
    for that project file. The same result we have even if user didn’t do any changes at the project file.
    We use only enterprise projects (dbo.MSP_EpmProject_UserView.projectvisibilitymode = «False»), and do not use sharepoint tasks lists,
    but the synchronization between MSP Plan and SharePoint tasks list works at any case.
    Case 2: Issue description:
    - For the second test we created a new project with new sharepoint project’s site on basis of our «issue» project, with total amount
    of tasks in it of 5148 (yes, we increased the tasks list default limit at the sharepoint site up to 6000 items in it – standard limits for sharepoint view list – 5000 items).
    - Project save procedure for this new project would last about 7 minutes. Project publication would last about 47 minutes. We noticed
    that tasks synchronization process took about 1 second for each ~2,5 tasks, to add them to the sharepoint tasks list. So for all 5148 tasks it took about 5148/3/60 =  34 minutes. Other 13 min was used for reporting database publication and other tasks
    relevant for new sharepoint site creation.
    -Then we deleted the
    tasks list for that new test project from the sharepoint site and republish the project plan one more time. This time project save procedure took about 7 minutes, project publication about 2 minutes and 3 minutes for other relevant queue jobs. So total time
    is 12 minutes.
    As a conclusion: yes, we have determined
    the exact problem - during synchronization process (from Project Server to SharePoint) it perform copying all tasks and related data from Project to SharePoint in spite of fact that you changed only ONE task or ALL of them. At any case, synchronization will
    copy ALL of them from Project Server to SharePOint task’s list.
    Our workaround is to disable the task’s synchronization for such big-sized project plans:
    – to delete the SharePoint «tasks» list at the SharePoint site tied with project plan.
    - or deattach the SharePoint site from the project plan.
    Thank you for reading this topic, please if you also forced with such issue provide us any known workaround or maybe any official response
    \ feedback from MS about it.
    Thank you in advance,
    Best Regards, Andrey

    Regarding my topic, I also said that every time when sync works it updates All items from project’s plan at Project Server to corresponded task’s list at SharePOint server. Inspire of the fact that you changed only One task or group /
    all of them at your project’s plan.
    And it seems to me and my colleagues that it’s probably (maybe) a “bug” at the product. Here is what we have if looked a little bit closer to the code:
    Share Point determines what task to sync from Project’s plan to sharepoint list. To do that sharepoint needs to know was that task changed or not, based on the following fileds (check SQL stored procedure “[MSP_READ_TASKS_FOR_SYNCRONIZATION]”):
    TASK_UID    TASK_NAME    TASK_START_DATE    TASK_FINISH_DATE    TASK_PCT_COMP    TASK_PARENT_UID    TASK_OUTLINE_NUM   
    WSS_LISTITEM_UID   TASK_ID    TASK_IS_ACTIVE
    We noticed that at any case synchronization performs for all tasks, EXCEPT the ROOT one. Then we looked at the comparison of TASK_PARENT_UID field. So sharepoint compares TASK_PARENT_UID with ParentID (this is internal name for lookup
    field “Tasks” at the Sharepoint, and it stores their values at the format "ID;#Title").
    And comparison performs like following:
    SharePoint looks for Task at the Tasks’s list corresponded to Project’s plan with ID represented at the TASK_PARENT_UID field. Then it takes SharePoint ListItem ID (“int” type) and store it to the “num” parameter;
    num = this.GetCachedListItemByUniqueId(listItem.ParentList, nullable.Value).ID;
       2.Then it compares “num” with task’s “ParentID” at SharePOint as follow with operator “!=”:
    ((SPItem) listItem)["ParentID"] != (System.ValueType) num
       3. If comparison was success (true) – then it tell us that values (at the Project’s plan for tasks) was changed, then it need to be synchronized. Corresponded Method setup “true” flag, and then returns it.
    The “bug” is that this expression at the Step 2 will always return “true”, because in fact it compares “string” (see above – that this is lookup field at SharePoint side)
    with “number”. For example if the parant task ID is “55”, then we get:
    "55;#Task 1" != 55
    And by the rules of .Net the “string” will never equal “number”
    Furthermore this is approved by the SharePoint logs:
    In that case we always get the note “Setting ParentID to” at the logs (we see it if turns on Verbose for “Project Server” -> “Sharepoint Integration” category).
    So at any case of publishing project’s plan we always get that note at the logs for tasks that have Parent task, and we have Parent for all of them EXCEPT the ROOT one, exact logs represented further:

  • Strange: suddenly logic takes about ten minutes to start!

    hi!
    some hours ago I worked on a logic film underscore project. so i had a quicktime movie loaded in my project.
    then I opened the final cut project from which the movie was from. I don't remember if I closed the logic project before, but the actual movie file was just a bounce, not used by both of the apps.
    when I tried to open the logic project later it seemed to stop doing anything just after closing the startup screen, so I thought there was a problem with final cut causing logic to crash.
    As final cut always takes "hours" to check the waves plugins on every booting, I always swich between special logic- and fcp- sets in "AudioUnit Manager", a tool to have different configs of AUs for different apps or so. Never had any problem for years with that.
    So I tried everything with the AU plugins. nothing.
    Then I renewed logic's prefs and all that stuff. nothing. then I installed the new pro application support. HEEY! it worked again. but just for a while.
    opening other (even small) projects still takes about ten minutes now. nice coffee pause..:-) but I can't drink that much coffee at night.
    what can it be? a problem with the project manager?
    any suggestion?
    cheers

    are you using sample base instruments in those projects a lot using exs or kontakt? when paths to samples get messed up for some reason it can result in along waiting times each time a project is loaded.
    lately my kontakt samples get loaded without any sign of activity. if it is a large orchestral score i see a dead screen for quite a while before suddenly everything pops up and is ready to work with. i recall seeing progress bars or similar things in the past though...
    repair permissions and defragging (idefrag) may help as well.
    btw. i can drink as much coffee as i want late at night, even five minutes later i can sleep well. seems i am immune. but right now i am also having plenty of hardware issues to deal with so that's a good thing i guess...!

    No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

  • I recently installed Mavericks on this iMac and upgraded to Adobe Cloud 2014 now InDesign CC 2014 fails to launch and I get a crash report. Has this happened to anyone else?

    I recently installed Mavericks on this iMac and upgraded to Adobe Cloud 2014 now InDesign CC 2014 fails to launch and I get a crash report. Has this happened to anyone else?

    It isn't happening to everyone else, but if there was a trend of it happening to a lot of people, that would probably show up in the official InDesign user forum. But there aren't a lot of crash reports there, so it isn't something that's happening to everyone. There are a couple, so you might look at those. But since there is not a huge wave of crash reports, the problem might be more related to a problem on the system rather than a problem with InDesign, like a corrupted font.
    The best place to troubleshoot is probably over at the Adobe forum since the users there know InDesign very well.

    jdotmattinson is correct! I have the same issue.
    It is a router/ISP issue.  Tried the software update drop down for 10.7.4, failed.  Tried to download 10.7.4 Combo Client update, invalid checksum.  Tried to download 10.7.3 Combo client update, invalid checksum.
    Went over to Win7 Dell laptop, downloaded 10.7.4 Combo update, transferred to MacMini via USB drive. Invalid checksum.  WHICH led me to diagnose it wasn't my Mac, but Apple's servers or my ISP/Router.
    Went to work, downloaded on XP, put on USB drive, brought it home, copied, installed just fine!
    Did a hard factory reset on Motorola Surfboard SBG5560, invalid checksum again.
    Going to buy a new router tonight and test it again with dowloading 10.7.4 Combo update.  Will keep you posted to see if that fixes it.
    Btw, if a new one doesn't fix it then it's my Comcast ISP service that is messing it up. Which is going to make me cry....check out this link... be afraid, be VERY afraid if this is the problem/solution.
