Bug in screensaver OR graphic card? Help me figure this out
I have a 15" MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz purchased in late September 2009. There is an odd bug that shows up in the mosaic screensaver (the one that represents one of your iPhoto pictures using a mosaic of your other photos) when I use the "Better Graphics" settings. If you have a similar computer, see if you can replicate this bug and let me know I'm not crazy...
This 10.6 standard screensaver shows a single picture, then zooms out to show that picture as part of a mosaic that represents one of your other pictures in iPhoto. When the photo mosaic is complete, it gradually dissolves into the actual photo, then repeats the process using that photo as part of a mosaic.
This screensaver works perfectly when running on the default NVIDIA GeoForce 9400M graphics card. When I switch to "Higher Performance" graphics and use the NVIDIA GeoForce 9600M GT card, the final image before the dissolve flips upside down, then dissolves into a right-side-up version of the image and starts the mosaic process again. Very odd!
I have noticed no other issues on my computer when using "Higher Performance" graphics, but this one is weird and disturbing because it is in an Apple screensaver. Any thoughts or experiences with this?
Thanks for the suggestion - after someone else reproduced the problem on their MacBook Pro, I submitted a bug report. It's not a big deal, but this should probably be fixed.

So i have an apple ipod touch 1st generation and it is not charging! It shows the charging sign but its taking a really long time to charge. Ive had it charging for at least 3 hours and it still says under 20% so can someone help me figure this out??
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

I'm having issues loading Youtube on my MacBook Pro for about a week now. I'm not sure if this is because of my computer or internet but my sister's PC loads Youtube completely fine. Can someone help me figure this out?
Hi, I had been having the same problem for over a week, but both my window's HP and my 2011 macbook pro barely could load youtube. What kind of router you have? I was using a belkin play router that was only 8 months old, switched to a new AirPort Extreme Base Station and now everything works perfect.

I would like to change the owners name on my ipad2 to my daughters name and credit. Could someone help me figure this out?
Sign out from Find My Phone in iCloud, and sign out from your Apple ID in Settings/iTunes & App Store
Then setup as a new phone with iTunes and when your Daughter sets it up for the first time she can add or set up her own Apple ID.
Cheers

Seems I have a iCloud account on my iPad but not sure how I got it as I do not remember signing up for this feature. I got an e mail message saying I was running out for space on my iCloud and was given directions on how to find it on my iPad. I followed the directions but there was no iClound anywhere in my iPad settings.
Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated.If your iPad is running iOS 5 or higher, iCloud would be listed in Settings. If you are signed into an iCloud account your iCloud ID would be listed in Settings>iCloud.

Hi, My iMovie program stops responding upon opening. I can't figure it out. I haven't really used it in the past but I would like to start. My Mac is one of those aluminum Macbooks that look like a macbook pro and were on the market for a little bit. I'm running OS 10.5.8 and its on the most recent update for the operating system. I don't know how to correct the glitch. Any help would be great! Thanks
-EOK, you have iMovie 08, which is also known is iMovie Version 7.1.4. It has been a few years since i used this version, so this is based on memory.
The only components you must have in the Library/QuickTime folder are the AppleIntermediateCodec.component and the AppleMPEG2Codec.component.
All the others could potentially be causing problems. I would drag the DivX components, the Flip4Mac components, and the Google Camera components to the Desktop temporarily, so nothing is left in this folder except the two Apple components.
Then restart your Mac and start iMovie. If it works, yay!
If you still need these other components for some other app, you can probably get updated DivX components for free at Perian.org.
You can get updated Flip4Mac components by running WMV Player and updating. It should prompt you to update automatically.
I am not sure about the Google components, but if you are running something that needs them, it should prompt you to install the current versions.
If none of that works, post back. -

A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

is there a way to alter that brush so it will connect...?
i tryed to just make the ends of the shape not taper and be more blunt but it didnt really work....
.... also
is there a way to change and define the start/end point of a already existing closed path so that i control (if i never figure out how to make the ends connect id like to place those nonconnecting ends in different places.)
thanks for any help anybody providesis there a way to alter that brush so it will connect...?
Drag&drop the brush onto the ccanvas, modify, drag&drop back to the palette, update.

Select the anchor point, hit the scissor tool in the tool property bar. This will split the path at the point, re-arranging the point order. You can then join it again, if needed.

Could someone help me figure this out (screenshot)
What is happening here? This is under shared...
Your mac is not disconnecting from the share properly, so each time you log on it thinks that there is another mac connected to the network with the same name.
There are a few places to look to try and solve this issue.
1. Reset your router. Sometimes the router it to blame.
2. Are you using more than one port for network connection. i.e. wifi and ethernet? Try turning one off.
3. I have seen that repairing permissions sometimes cures this conflict.
Hope this helps.

A couple of days ago, my I opened up my iMovie and it just goes into the blank screen. I am able to click on things like, "import" or "create" and it will take me into the next window, but when I choose an option, I receive a message that there is a problem, but they don't know what the problem is. It has been like this for the past couple of days. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app about 3 times and it still comes out the same. Please assist in any way possible!
Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
When it's rebooted you can force a backup via Settings > iCLoud -

This was happening all the time on my old 2006 iMac, and I thought that when I upgraded to a new computer it would go away. No such luck.
Sometimes the program works just fine, and other times I have this error. I haven't been able to pinpoint what is causing it.
Basically what happens is, I will try to type a number in the box to edit the size of the image (or sharpness, etc. something that requires you to enter a number), and as soon as my mouse hovers over the box, the numbers start changing on their own. As soon as I move the mouse away, the problem stops, but of course this means that I am unable to type in the number that I want.
I've tried unplugging my mouse and keyboard - that doesn't change anything.
Has anyone run into this issue before?

straightened image.
My recommendations:
a) put a crossreference list on each page
or
b) straighten the scans and improve the contrast, both by Photoshop.
Then apply a program which converts images of text into machine coded text
by OCR - Optical Character Recognition , for instance Abbyy Finereader
http://finereader.abbyy.de/professional/?adw=google_eu&gclid=CMirrcCMx7MCFZHRzAodlisAJg
(I'm not related to the manufacturer of this software, I'm just a user).
In coded text it's easy to replace isolated character groups as required.
