After an update or installation, your MBP may take some time to index its files. Give it some time - but if you don't see any improvement, post here - you'll get an answer!

  • I've never used a mac before

    i've never had a mac before so i'm only familiar with windows. i'm getting a laptop for college and i'm considering buying a mac. a couple of my friends have them and they only say good thigns about them. however my dad is really hesitant on me buying a mac because he's afraid i'll need a program that's not compatible with the software. also he's worried that my plug-ins like printer/digital camera won't work. and he didn't know if they ran all types of cd and dvds that are on the market. overall he's just a worry-wart but maybe if there's good answers to all these questions i'll be able to reassure him. so for everyone who has used a mac what do you think?

    i've never had a mac before so i'm only familiar with
    windows. i'm getting a laptop for college and i'm
    considering buying a mac. a
    A MacBook Pro can run both OS X and Windows using Boot Camp
    however my dad is really hesitant on me buying a mac
    because he's afraid i'll need a program that's not
    compatible with the software.
    There are usually a Mac alternatives for most software.
    As the MacBook Pro can run Windows if push came to shove you could use Boot Camp to install Windows and run the needed Windows software that way.
    also he's worried that
    my plug-ins like printer/digital camera won't work.
    Generally cameras and printers work fine with the Mac. Check the printer and camera manufacturers' website for Mac drivers.
    and he didn't know if they ran all types of cd and
    dvds that are on the market.
    A Mac can run virtually all CDs and DVDs that any generic PC can.
    If a PC has written a proprietary format CD (ie a packet CD) then only it and Macs (and other PCs for that matter) won't be able to read it.
    overall he's just a
    worry-wart but maybe if there's good answers to all
    these questions i'll be able to reassure him. so for
    everyone who has used a mac what do you
    think?
    There are lots of benefits to running a Mac.

  • SD card is suddenly read only (and it never used to be before).

    I'm not tech-svvy at all, so I'll try to be as detailed as I can with my problem and hopefully some patient soul will be able to give me some step by step instructions on how to fix this haha.
    I've had my MacBook Pro for about a year now and I haven't had a problem with transfering photos from my phone and camera onto it. My camera has an SD card and my phone has a Micro SD.
    As of a few days ago, I've noticed that when I insert my SD card into the slot, there's an icon to the top left side of the window when I open it that never used to be there. It kind of looks like a pencil with a line going through it, but it still let me transfer photos to my computer, so I didn't think anything of it.
    When I tried to transfer photos from my phone's Micro SD, it does the same thing. I can still transfer pictures to the computer without a problem.
    The issue becomes when I want to transfer photos from my computer to the card for my camera or the one for my phone. I've tried to look through similar questions on here and elsewhere on the internet, but all I've been able to gather is that the little pencil with a line through it means my cards are in "Read Only" mode as opposed to the "Read and Write" that they should be in.
    I don't recall making any changes to any sort of settings on this computer and I haven't had any recent updates to the software.
    Also, none of the cards are locked. I know there's a little swtich to the side of them that manually makes them read only, but I never touch them and they're always 'unlocked' as it were.
    Can anyone guide me through getting these settings back to the way they were?
    (Since I'm technologically illiterate, I have no idea what operating system I'm on, so I apologize if this is an important factor in helping me.)

    The contact inside the SD card slot could be dirty. you can try to clean them by shutting the system down, get some electrical contact cleaner and put a small amount on the SD card contacts and push it in and out a few times. Let it dry for a few minutes (most of these type contact cleaners alcohol based and dry fairly fast) and power up the system. See if the cards are now Read+Write.
    Also check the cards to see if the little switch hasn't been pushed into the Lock setting.
    Even though these card may work in your camera and or phone they may be at the end of there life cycle. Try a NEW card and see if that makes a difference.
    As a last resort you can always buy a external card reader and connect it to a USB port.Some SD cards come with a small SD card reader that plugs directly into a USB port. The only problem I've had with them is that some of them do not go in all the way on MBPs. The case of the MBP stops them from inserting all the way and or if you have something else plugged in to the other USB port there isn't enough room, right to left, to insert another device. Or you could spend some more money and have Apple Care fix it, that is if none of the above work.
    Good Luck.

  • Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.

    Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.
    First my organize has Exchange on 2 site like
    site A (internet facing) : 2CAS 2 MB all are Services pack1
    site B (DR Site , no user active on this site) : 2CAS 2MB all are Services pack 1
    so today I upgrade Exchange 2013 from SP1 to CU5 start on "site B" and I found this issue and the details is....
    When I open EMS on any CU5 for query something (like get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus) the response return very slow and some query will not return at all (like get-owavirtualdirectory).
    But If I using EMS on SP1. Everything is ok then I try to use EMS on SP1 connect to CU5 and try to query something. the result is
    some query command cannot return for any result that are server on siteB (just some query command)
    Problem
    EMS on CU5 return very slow result.
    EMS on SP1 still ok.
    Does anyone face this problem before for CU5??? Please help me figure this out. Thank you
    reply from Social.technet

    Hi,
    Have you used the above cmdlets to check your Exchange server health?
    "all other command that I ran on EMS didn't logged on event viewer.", my environment is the same with you. I use Exchange 2013, only errors will be displayed in MSExchange Management. Actually, it is not related to slow EMS response.
    Hope it helps.

  • When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow

    When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow. Mails take a long time to be send and receive, and the mail boxes disconnect frequently. I am using the yosemite mail server and don't have this issue with user with Maverick.
    Many Thanks

    So let me see if I understood it right... In Mavericks you didn't had this issue, this only happens in Yosemite and you are using Apple Mail, not another mail client. Have you tried in System Preferences > Internet Accounts unchecking and rechecking the email checkbox on your account?? If that doesn't works try deleting and adding your account.
    Sorry for the bad English

    Yeah.... only thing in the list that might possibly work is the handsfree kit. As roaminggnome stated, pairing to other phones is not supported.
    When trying to pair to the handsfree device, was the device actually in discoverable mode?

  • I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am having some problems.  This sounds really dumb, but I can't figure out how to put a border around a text box.  Also, how do you edit the border, i.e. border color, thickness, etc. Help!

    I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am running into some real problems.  How do you put a border around a text box?  Can you edit the border - color, thickness, etc.?  Help!

    I think the best solution is to read Pages documentation, go to Help and you have a long list of options. Pages is capable of quite sophisticated things, some features are above Nisus or Mellel, so it is not so simple to summarize things in a few lines.

  • Very slow graphics when using AMD Radeon HD 6490M with Yosemite

    I'm using a 15" MacBook Pro early 2011. When I switch to the GPU using gfxCardStatus (or because an app requires it), all graphics become very slow: window dragging, window miniaturize animation, moving the mouse in the menubar etc. 3D view in Maps.app is very slow. All is fine when using the integrated Intel HD 3000. I did not have this problem with Yosemite Developer Previews (I did not install the GMs), nor with Mavericks.
    I tried using AMD kext from the DP, but things are worst (I suppose the kext are not loaded at all because the signature does not match).

    Hi. I tried to do that with the same download package on my Pavilion DV6 CTO Quad edition and it fails to install the driver because of a conflict with the C++ Redistributable 2010 package build into the installer. Does anyone know if HP is going to update the switchable graphic drivers for Windows 8? They better!

  • VERY Slow Respons When Changing Songs on iPod

    My work computer is a Windows Vista machine, with Vista, SP 2 installed. I installed iTunes 8.2.0.23 this morning, upgrading from version 8.1.1.10. The new version works well when I play songs stored to the library on my hard drive, but I find that it has a VERY slow response when changing songs that I play from my iPod Touch. At one point, it took 17 seconds to change to the next song in the iPod's library. It changes instantaneously when I play songs from the library stored on my HDD. The iPod Software is version 2.2.1.
    Can someone please offer insight?
    Is there a way to download and install iTunes 8.1.1.10? I had no problems with that version.

    wen6275,
    It looks like you're actually using a camera or phone to take a photo of your monitor.
    That's not what is commonly known as a "screen shot". 
    It looks like you're on a Mac.  Hitting Command+Shift+3 places a capture of the contents of your entire monitor on your Desktop; hitting Command+Shift+4 will give you a cross-hairs cursor for you to select just the portion you want to capture.
    I'm mentioning this because I fear I'm not construing your original post correctly when you type "I am working with a large files [sic], currently it has 149 layers, all of which are high resolution photographs", so I'm wondering if there's some similar use of your own idiosyncratic nomenclature in your description of your troublesome file.
    Perhaps I'm just having a major senior moment myself, but I'm utterly unable to imagine such a file.  Would you mind elaborating?

  • Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

    Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
    We have implemented the following configuration
    Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
    Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
    Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
    \\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
     What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
    reboot.
    Considerations until now:
    1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
    2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
    3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
    \\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
    What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
    located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
    Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
    Thanks to all who respond.

    Dear all,
    sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
    What was done:
    Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
    Carefully recreated folder targets
    Deleted and recreated  replication groups
    Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
    Created EnableTCPA registry entry
    Checked that the following Updates are installed
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688074

  • Very slow response when I click on a link, but almost instant response if I go back and click a second time.

    I often get very slow response when I click on a link, any link. But if I go back and click on the link again, then the page will open almost immediately. I discovered this by accident and noticed that this happens every time. It would be nice if I got fast response on the first click without having to do this silly procedure and it seems to me that there's a simple fix. I would appreciate it if you could help. I'm open to any and all ideas. Thanks again.
    Sincerely,

  • My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made.

    Hello,
    My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made, with those little moving lines indicating the selection (the lines that look like walking ants). When I'm adding to the selection, it's fine again, because the "ants" aren't moving, same with when I hit Q to enter Quick Mask Mode--as long as the "ants" aren't moving, my Photoshop isn't slow. Is there any way to fix this? To either speed up Photoshop or to stop the "ants" from moving, and simply allow selections to be indicated by broken lines, but not moving broken lines?
    Thanks
