Can I run the hardware test when I have four different accounts on my mac 10.8.4, can I run the hardware test when I have four different accounts on my mac 10.8.4
Hi Noticed that the top of my mac is nearly too hot to touch. Did a search online and found out about the hardware test. Looked up online user manual for my mac (Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 10.8.4) and noted how to perform the test. However, when I keep my finger on the D button through start up it just brings me right to the screen where I have to sign in to my desktop account (there are four accounts on the desktop as it is a family mac). Am I doing something wrong.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, you should know that it's normal that your iMac is hot at the top. Here are the fans, so it's normal that it's hotter than other parts. Before going further, download Temperature Monitor and tell us which temperatures it indicates > http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
If it gives dangerous temperatures, then you should run Apple Hardware Test. Looking at the processor the Mac has got, your Mac came with DVDs. Apple Hardware Test is in Mac OS X Install Disc, so insert it and hold the D key while your Mac is starting to start in Apple Hardware Test

I have a packardbell laptop with photoshop elements 8 installed from new. I have used it on several occasions but I cannot get it to run now. When I open a photo using elements the Adobe box pops up saying that the programme has unexpectedley quit? can anyone help me please as I have several photos to edit before the end of this month. Many thanks for any help
The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -
attempted to mail an email with a large attachment file. One of the addresses was bad. When my Outlook is running, the Mac tries to send it and shows the progress. However, when I look in my Outbox the files are not there. It does show up in the Outbox progress section but I can not delete it when it is there.
Where do these files reside?
Is there a hidden Outbox??
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

I have an iMac (Mid 2007) upgraded to Lion OS. My fan runs at high speed all the time. I reset the SMT without results. I had no way to do the hardware test.
Can I fix this high fan speed?Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above doesn't help then create a new user account. Log into the new account. Does this fix the problem? -
Is the mac mini g4 spost to come with the hardware test disks?
Hi,
Is the mac mini g4 spost to come with the hardware test disks?
If so how do I get them?
I did not get it when I got my mac mini?
Thanks.I know that booting up while holding the D key with the Install disc in the drive will boot to the Apple Hardware Test on a Macintel, and although I haven't tried that key on my G4 yet, I believe that the proper way to select AHT as the startup volume from the Install disc is to do so from the Startup Manager (which is accessed by holding the Option key during startup) ...

I'm also having a music issue. When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything. I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.
By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.

When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running, but not responding and that I should close it before trying to run another Firefox. But I cannot find a way to close Firefox program that is not running as far as I can see. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did not work. I've tried various other things, but no luck. I thought programs should stop when the computer is turned off, but that didn't work either.
How are you opening the Profile Manager?

Sounds that Firefox is still or already running.<br />

I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro....
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that. -
I am running Photoshop CS6 on a Mac OS X 10.9.3 and every time I save a large eps I can not open it again. I get this message when I try. "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript."
Oh, dear.
If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos. -
Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance
You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
Here's the link for the US. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it. -
Trouble with iMovie '11 transitions and themes? I'm running Lion, Mac OS X and just noticed today that the transitions and themes don't seem to be working at all when I start new projects or try to add to old projects. What is the solve here?
I've seen notes about clearing the cache but it seems that this is an older OS and I can't find the plist mentioned here because it's an older system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cL9RuDV3Qc
Thoughts? Anyone?GUYS, I NEED HELP !
ANYONE? -
I currently have a mac osx, and my CC keeps coming saying its expired, when it should be running the CS6 design standard. So how do I get my platform to use the CS6 as my default instead of the CC one.
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
And you can change the default program for a file type under File --> Info.

I have downloaded "Lightroom_5_LS11_mac_5_7.dmg" for Mac to update my Lightroom 5.6 (build 974614) but when I attempt to open it I get the following error message "Lightroom_5_LS11_mac_5_7.dmg can't be opened as the disk image is not recognised". I'm running Yosemite OS 10.10 on a Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012 with 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 processor).
Vk2mh it sounds like the download was not complete or corrupted. Where are you downloading the update from? Have you tried downloading again?

Icant upgrade mac os x 10.6.8 to 10.8.3, when i try it says the mac os 10.8.3 cant run on this startup disk what should i do?
First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks. -
Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?
First, go install the MacOS 10.10 updates - you should be on 10.10.2.
I haven't heard of Photoshop not responding during opens and saves. Does it stop responding while the open/save dialogs are visible, or while Photoshop is actually reading or writing files?
10.10.1 did fix a crash in the open/save dialogs, but 10.10.2 still has some odd issues (mostly program errors coming from the OS code) in the open/save dialogs.
