Recording gives way too much distort
Hello everybody!
I'm trying to record my guitar on the comp by placing a mic (which is plugged into the mic-in) near the amp but the quality of the recording is horrible, it sounds way too much distorted. It used to sound ok on my old comp which had an onboard sound card (AC97).
I don't know what to do.. any thoughts?
I think you would get better results my plugging the guitar into a preamp and the line-level from the preamp into the Line-in of your soundcard. If you search the forum for "guitar," you'll find lots of posts. This thread seems to cover using a SoundBlaster for guitar recording well, especially jutapa's posts.

In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back. I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps. A page zooms in so less than 1/4 of the page is visible and nothing I do will zoom back out, command minus doesn't do it, double tap on mouse does not zoom out, and the window will not scroll to show any of the rest of the page. reloading the page does not help. Loading a different page gives me a normal view again.
If it were a tweaked setting, it should happen less randomly. And there should be no settings that could override the zoom setting in unversal Access and the Mouse zoom preferences.
In addition, this only happens in Safari 6, and seems to happen more fredquently on some websites and not on others. That suggests some sort of conflict in the site code with Safari and Apple wireless mouse code. It does not happen in Mail, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, or other software as far as I can tell. -
The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk
I was hoping my files would stay in the cloud and not take up a ton of space on my machine (only a 128gb SSD). But while performing an overnight time machine backup I came back to find a "Startup Disk Full" error message. I only have about 20gb used locally but over 200gb in iCloud Drive at the moment.
Is there a way to clear the cache so my files stay on iCloud and not hogging space on my SSD? Or a way to redirect this library to my 2nd hard drive?
I'm using a 15" mid-2012 Macbook Pro with a 1TB hard drive and I've replaced the optical drive with a 128gb SSD for my OS (which is where my library is, hence the difficulty).
Thank you!While puttering around after posting this I think I found my personal solution here: http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/qt/Move-Your-Home-Folder-To-A-New-Loc ation.htm
I'm just going to move my home folder to my 2nd internal 1TB hard drive to solve my problem.
But my question remains, how can we minimize the amount of local space iCloud Drive ***** up? I wanted to get the rumored new macbook air that might come out next year but this is a big turn off if iCloud drive is going to overwhelm the SSD in the AIr. -
since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?
I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy! -

I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?
Playlists on the iPhone are the same as on the iPod. Just connect the iPhone and go to the iPhone Music tab in iTunes. You can check the playlists you want on the iPhone.
One "trick" is to create a new playlist and just drag all of the music you want on the iPhone to this playlist, then sync only that playlist.
Another option is to use the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC" on the iphone Summary page in iTunes. This will compress the music and you will lose some quality, but unless you are using $500 headphones you won't notice.
The manual is in Safari on your phone; its a predefined bookmark. You can also download a PDF:

I have an iPad. I have used it off and on. When I went to use it tonight, I kept getting an error message on my password which I have used for at least 7 months. Then I have to go through all kinds of contortions to get it reset. Then I have to read a 42 page iTunes document before my iPad will let me do a thing! So, after 5 o 6 pages I tell it to send it to my e-mail account. But it refuses to let me do anything until I have read the document. So then I go try to get support using my desktop and then it wants my serial number. After more than 40 minutes this is all too much! I am not a happy camper!
Your post wins the truth and most funny award! Who on earth "actually" reads terms of use all the way through? We scan to the bottom, and click agree. I figure one of these days, someone's going to knock on my door and tell me I have move out of my fully paid for home. When I ask why they think I should do this, they'll whip out some user agreement I clicked agree and there, buried on page XX will be the statement that after 12.7 years, they have the right to take my house.

Why is there too much extra info attached to my photo cd, when I simply burnt only 6 pictures on it?
This has been happening for several months now.
It used to work correctly.
For example:
I burnt a photo file of 25 pictures from my iphoto collection.
When I went to the store to print them, the computer indicated there were 155 photos on it.
All were cropped versions of my 25 pictures.
Weird.
Then when I only burnt 6 pictures today onto a cd, I took the disc to a Print Shop.
Sure enough, the disc had other data and files associated with photos on it.
Yes, my 6 were on it, but the Print Shop had to spend extra time searching for them.
What's uP?For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

Way too much stuff, need more locations
Yes, I have a 1TB drive - that's too full. I had to move a lot of stuff to a new 1TB drive. In order to find the moved stuff I have to go one by one to 'locate' and all is good in the world. Is there an easier way? Because I would LOVE to know it. Apologies if this has been answered before, I searched and couldn't find.
*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s really slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.

Safari eats way too much memory. Can I curb its appetite?
This has been an evolving problem and I've solved it by moving to Chrome, but I enjoy using Safari, so I'm looking for a way to give Safari one last chance.
When I use Safari and open up Activity Monitor I can see three different processes for Safari: Safari, Safari Web Content, Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in). If I have many windows open with lots of tabs -- something I often do -- then that Web Content will go to upwards of 2GB. If I leave the computer running all night, it will be on 3 to 4 GB when I go to use it in the morning. Needless to say, Safari is very slow when that happens.
Chrome has it's helper programs, too, but they never exceed 100MB of Real Memmory. That makes me wonder if something's not wrong with Safari that I can fix.
Thanks,Hi Linc, I know its a long time ago, but I came across your offer of scanning Steven's Terminal read out for a very slow Safari response .
Would you be willing to take a quick look at my readout as well ? (as I also am having similar problems) ( I have the latest updates for Safari and Mac OS)
Many Thanks in anticipation
Phil

I have been searching this helpless website for 3 nights after work trying to figure out how to get my old phone back to "WHEREVER" it needs to go. I am soo frustrated, I'm ready to throw this phone away and forget it. I've read through posts and tried the links left to only be taken where I've already been, with NO LUCK AT ALL. I've even called verizon myself to get, yet again, NO HELP!! Can anyone give me the real answer as to what to do.???
I've got the box I received my new phone in, with the plastic bag for the old phone and some papers the clearly read, "Keep this for your records" nothing that says RETURN LABEL. Don't have an address, either!This is the same response other community users have gotten, there is not option to print a label. This is also where li was told to go look for the receipt when I card
Verizon. THERE IS NOTHING THERE TO PRINT. I've tried to include a link to that page, so you can view yourself, but I'm thinking it won't post in this community discussion.
So, with this, I'm still stuck in the same situation... HOW DO I RETURN THIS PHONE? WHY CANT VERIZON EMAIL ME A LABEL DIRECTLY???

Time Machine Craziness: Way too much data getting backed up
Hello.
I'm on a retina MBP running Mountain Lion. Each time that Time Machine does a backup, it's backing up way more data than corresponds to any changes I have made. I'm aware of issues with virtualization software (I'm not using any) and I'm also aware that it will back up entire large files even if I make a small change to it (that doesn't apply here; I have not altered any files that even approach the size of backups being done).
According to Console, Time Machine is backing up much more than backupd is detecting in its initial scan. Here are a couple excerpts from the Console representing today's backups:
8/3/12 3:28:37.450 PM com.apple.backupd[4027]: Finished scan
8/3/12 3:29:12.480 PM com.apple.backupd[4027]: Found 2659 files (290.2 MB) needing backup
8/3/12 3:29:12.486 PM com.apple.backupd[4027]: 999.3 MB required (including padding), 141.67 GB available
8/3/12 4:28:43.148 PM com.apple.backupd[4027]: Copied 20.37 GB of 20.37 GB, 7322 of 7322 items
8/3/12 5:28:43.700 PM com.apple.backupd[4027]: Copied 40.06 GB of 40.06 GB, 9058 of 9058 items
8/3/12 5:53:34.220 PM com.apple.backupd[4027]: Found 564 files (18.4 MB) needing backup
8/3/12 5:53:34.228 PM com.apple.backupd[4027]: 673.7 MB required (including padding), 95.99 GB available
8/3/12 5:59:10.509 PM com.apple.backupd[4027]: Copied 274 files (1.65 GB) from volume RUBYEXS.
8/3/12 6:00:46.867 PM com.apple.backupd[4027]: Copied 7185 files (1.66 GB) from volume Macintosh HD.
I'm pretty sure this has something to do with files on my external hard drive. There may be some corruption in the Time Machine indexing that is forcing backups of the same files to be made over and over again even when no modifications have been made. In the Time Machine menu bar extra, I can see the backup size snowballing. It will say, for example, "backing up 2.4 GB out of 3.0 GB," and one minute later say "backing up 3.5 GB out of 5.4 GB" and just keep going up to as much as 60 GB.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I can provide more detailed Console logs if anyone is interested. Do you think I should wipe my Time Capsule clean and start backups from scratch? That's what I did when I got my rMBP a few weeks ago, but doesn't the Time Machine utility also need to be cleared out somehow so it doesn't look for the old backups? And what about deleting local snapshots? I don't mind starting from scratch again if necessary, but I want to make sure I'm really getting a clean slate.
Thank you to anyone who has ideas about this!ClayG wrote:

Use one of the apps in #A2 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to see what's really getting backed-up.
Also verify your internal HD and repair the external and the TM drive, to be sure there isn't directory damage.
If that doesn't help, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in the above link.
Do you think I should wipe my Time Capsule clean and start backups from scratch?
Only as a last resort.
doesn't the Time Machine utility also need to be cleared out somehow so it doesn't look for the old backups?
No. It looks at the last backup on the drive, then figures out what's been changed since then. If the drive is empty, it just starts from scratch.
And what about deleting local snapshots?
No, they're completely separate and independent.
