RE: "P.S. I found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain text?"
I take it you tried using the "right click" menu? That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key and while holding it down, press the "V" letter key.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + X = CUT
CTRL + V = PASTE

Video is synced from the computer to the iPhone via iTunes. You need to load the video into iTunes, make sure it is iPhone compatible before you do that, and once it is in iTunes, then sync to the iPhone.
Never said what computer OS you were using. Also, the computer processor, amount of RAM can make a difference with HD video.

My iBook is soooooooo slow -- can you please help?

I have an iBook G4 that I purchased about 2 years ago. The only software I have installed on it is the Microsoft Office stuff (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) and Photoshop Elements. I mainly use my laptop for photos (just uploading them from my camera to iPhoto) and surfing the internet. I have some word, excel, and other miscellanous files stored it, but nothing that I think would use up significant memory to slow it down. Anyhow, my computer is extremely slooooooow. I transferred a lot of my photos to an external hard drive, thinking this make help speed it up, but it didn't make it any faster. The photos are only 3MB or less each. Sometimes I will upload photos and then my computer will freeze (the little pinwheel thing just keeps spinning and spinning forever). What can I do to make it function faster? Please help -- I'm so annoyed with this laptop!

Hi Gritz,
Have you run the maintainance scripts that are part of the system? MacJanitor (freeware) will run them for you.
The following article was written for Panther but applies to Tiger as well.

Slow Macbook Pro- please help, I don't understand previous advice.

Hello all,
I have a very slow Macbook Pro running on Lion 10.7.3.
I looked up this problem on the forums before I sent this message but I didn't quite understand the advice. I have been on something called Disk Utility and Activity Monitor but don't really understand what I'm looking for. It seems a large percentage of my mac is 'idle' if that makes sense. Someone said to look at Page Out but I really don't understand what that means and what sort of numbers are normal.
I do have some storage left so I don't think it could be that. A lot of my gigabytes seem to be taken up by movies and 'other'. I've tried deleted a load of videos but it hardly made a difference. I have Mac Mail and it seems very slow on my Macbook compared to on my Ipad and iphone. iCal is also very slow on here and it always takes a while to load internet pages. It isnt the wifi connection.
Please help and bear in mind I am by no means a Mac whizz so you might have to talk in layman's terms!
Thanks,
Amy

If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.

My iTunes continues to say "Security Code Invalid" when I know it is in fact correct. I can't update my apps or purchase anything and it's extremely frustrating. Someone please help with what to do?

Every time I go on my iTunes account via my iPhone or even my computer, I get notified that my security code is invalid. My account did this a while back, but I ignored it for a while and it eventually accepted my security code. It's not doing that now. It's been a week, I need to update my apps and want to be able to purchase whatever I want. It's extremely fruststing that it won't accept my actual card security code. Someone please help?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ?

My iMac WiFi is extremely slow!!! Help me fix

I have tried so many things to get my WiFi to run faster than what it is now, It's physically making me impatient. I have done a internet speedtest from the mac and the results are -
Ping - 51ms
Download speed - 0.09mbps
Upload speed - 0.49mbps
I even made a youtube video on what is actually happening.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjd5k817hn4
What I don't understand is, Why is my macs WiFi so terrible? It's fully connected to the internet.
I have updated the mac and it didn't seem to change in its perfomance.
The iMac is new and it runs everything nice, just the internet is slow as anything.
Now, Let me compare the results to my pc.
Ping - 50ms
Download speed - 3.66 mb/s
Upload speed - 0.778 mb/s
And now my ipad -
Download speed 3.21 mb/s
Upload speed 0.686 mb/s
All these tests were done when there was only ONE device connected to the internet.
Please, Help me fix my problem! I can't even load apples website without waiting 20 minutes!

I spoke to apple yesterday and they run me through a few simple steps.
First I removed all my cables which powers my iMac and I then left the cables unplugged for 15 seconds, After the 15 seconds I reconnected the cables and waited 5 seconds before switch on.
Now, I was instructed to press the following keys.
cmd , alt , R , P
I hold those keys as my mac switches on and you have to keep hold of them until you hear the macs power up sounds twice. Once you hear it twice, let go of the keys you held down whilst you turned on your iMac. I then got told to skip the options what were given to me in the start of turning on the mac, Kind of like factory settings.
I was then told to change my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and save.
Once the DNS was changed I had no improvement in my internet speed what so ever. Now, I was then told to make a test account (login) which had no programs installed the the login. No change again...
The problem is NOT the iMac, It's the router. Because of my router being old'sh and so on, My mac isn't getting the right internet speeds because the firmwire is not up to date with the iMac.
As I spoke to my internet provider Orange or EE (whatever they call themselves now) They said lots of mac and apple users always seem to have problems with old routers. So they're sending me a new one.
My garunteed fix is for the new internet modem to make my connection problems go away.
So guys, if anyone is having the same problem as me, Ring your internet provider BEFORE you ring apple. It will save you time as you have to wait a few days for apple to ring your mobile/phone.
Thank you!
Stan

My Hard Drive Won't Slow Down! please help

Hi everyone,
I just got my B&W powermac up and running again after some upgrades: a radeon 7000, 500 Mhz Sonnet G4, 1gig of RAM... Well all of a sudden my hard drive just spun all the way up and will not slow down no matter what. I went to system preferences and checked "put discs to sleep when possible" - Nothing. I ran Onyx and cleared all my caches and what not - Nothing. I have restarted, reset my PRAM, pressed the CUDA button... I'm out of ideas. And my hard drive is raging like it is booting up or something so I don't know what to think. Please help me slow my hard drive down. It is a WD Caviar 40G, and I am running OS 10.3.9 and it is totally up to date. Thanks so much for any suggestions!
-Kurt

I don't think it's a ribbon issue. I checked it out. As for the jumpers, I'm not really sure exactly what to look for. I have only messed with jumpers one time and I was following a chart to set up a slave drive on a Dell and it was a long time ago... On My B&W, what exactly would I looking for if it was a jumper problem?
Thanks again, in advance!

Safari extremely slow....help!

I just installed Leopard today after hesitating for a long time.
Never had any problems with Safari on Tiger, the browser was always extremely fast.
After installation from the DVD (10.5.1) and the upgrade (combo) via "software update" to 10.5.3, Safari all of a sudden is extremely slow.....most websites just don't load (blue line in address just keeps hanging). Sometimes, after easily 1 minute, the page is finalle loaded, most of the time just nothing happens!!!
Before Safari used to be very fast for all websites....any help would be really appreciated!
Thank you very much!
Sven

The number one cause of problems after a major update like Leopard is the presence of third party add-ons or plugins that are not compatible with the new update. This is doubly true when dealing with Safari issues. So I guess the first question we need to ask is what sort of Safari add-ons, enhancers, plugins, etc. do you have installed on your machine? There are several places to look.
/Library/Internet PlugIns (this is the Library folder in the top level of your hard drive)
~/Library/Internet Plugins (where ~ is your user folder)
/Library/Input Managers
~/Library/Input Managers
It's also a good idea to make a note of what add-on you installed and when. Then you have a list of "suspects" to question when things go goofy.
As another poster suggested you can try booting into "safe" mode by holding down the Shift key while booting. This starts a sequence of clearing caches and other maintenance processes and will sometimes clear up trouble. Safe mode also does not load any third party extensions. If your problem is cleared by booting in safe mode then you can almost be certain that your trouble lies with one of the add-ons or extensions installed.

Hmm. Are you changing 100 GB of data every hour?
Do you use any virtualization software (VM Fusion, Parallels, Virtual box)?
Do you use Entourage?
We might see something in your logs. Download the Time Machine Buddy Widget here:

And post the information for the most-recent backup. Make sure you get all the lines--they might overflow the window.

Iernel panic plus extremely enlarged display screen, Please help urgent

I have verified that I had a kernel panic on this Tiger 10.4 Imac. It said to shut it down but that didn't help.
On top of that the magnification on the screen is about as high as it could go and its impossible to navigate/get bearings to even try to work on this.
Until I get the screen thing figured out I'm dead in the water so to speak. Maybe there is an easy way to reset the magnification but it escapes me what it is and I need help with that and the kernel panic.
I have a ton of research to do and I'm farther behind every day.
Please help thanks.

Were you able to figure the cause of the Kernel Panic and find reference to the activity
involving that problem within the Console logs, or the System Profiler> Software> logs?
Both locations would likely have some information, however cryptic & codified it may be.
Some kernel panics are caused by hardware issues; others can be caused by some
conflicts in software. And there are some which could combine both sources, as cause.

Extreme permsions problem - desperate please help!!!

I have repaired permissions three times, run tech tools twice, deleted preferences etc and it is not fixing the problem - which has got to be a permissions problem- here is what happens:
1. In illustrator CS:- when you have a file open and you have made changes but want to close it with out saving the changes - it wont let me close the file or quit illustrator util I have sved the file. no errors come up it just ignores me! I have to force quit out of it to close illustrator....unless I save the changes!!!
Also in illustrator I can't change any of the print settings - it will only stay on default, again the buttons won't respond
2. When I do get info on a folder I can change the settings (unlock etc) on a file but it won't apply to enclosed folders - whenn I click the buttin it does nothing!
3. Sometimes I can't save files into certain folders - it won't let me!
4. when saving it sometimes says there start up disk is full when there is 100G on it-I have to saveit to somewhere else then copy it over
5. in photoshop CS I can't save ontop of another file I have to save into another file then delete the old and put the new file in its place

This is not a permissions problem. More than likely it's a problem with Illustrator, one of its preference files, or your hard drive, or your OS is corrupted.
2. When I do get info on a folder I can change the settings (unlock etc) on a file but it won't apply to enclosed folders - whenn I click the buttin it does nothing!
This is a bug in 10.3.x. Upgrade to Tiger or use the freeware utility BatChMod (www.versiontracker.com.)
3. Sometimes I can't save files into certain folders - it won't let me!
This may be a permissions problem related to the specific folders. Note that some folders may have permissions set to deny access for a reason. Be sure you are not trying to access folders you are not supposed to access. BTW, repairing permissions will not fix this. Repairing permissions with Disk Utility does not affect the permissions on folders belonging to the user.
4. when saving it sometimes says there start up disk is full when there is 100G on it-I have to saveit to somewhere else then copy it over
Pretty good sign your hard drive needs repair. Again, this has nothing to do with permissions.
5. in photoshop CS I can't save ontop of another file I have to save into another file then delete the old and put the new file in its place
This may be the way PS works or you may be trying to save over a file in use. Some apps want you to use Save As to avoid overwriting another file.
Off hand I would say your hard drive is in dire need of repair. It's also possible your operating system has become seriously corrupted and possibly even some of your applications. To start the process to normal first do the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. Now select the hard drive entry (this is the one with the Mfgr.'s ID and drive size) and check the SMART status in DU's status bar. If it does not say "Verified", then the drive is failing. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If this does not fix the situation, then you may need to reinstall OS X. If these problems have been around for a while, then you have been updating Tiger on a corrupted drive or system. If that be the case then reinstalling is the only solution that is guaranteed to return things to normal. You can reinstall without erasing the drive by doing an Archive and Install. However, do not attempt an Archive and Install unless the hard drive has been verified as OK.

AppStore is extremely slow in Shanghai, please help!!!!!!!!
