Can someone validate what AppleCare told me
I posted a question regarding an audio out-of-sync issue and it turns out that Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 does not work with the Intel processor machines. I keep getting out of sync audio every time I capture clips (and they are only about 20-50 seconds in length) when I capture on my 2.4 Ghz iMac.
But the weird thing is that I have the 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 MacBook Pro running FCP 5.0.4 and I don't have the sync issues there.
Could it have something to do with running FCP5 on OS 10.5.6 (iMac) whereas I'm running 10.4.11 on the MB?
I called Apple Care and they told me that FCP5 isn't even suppose to run on any Intel machine. I've been running it fine for the last year. So is it the OS?
Final Cut Pro 5.1.0 -part of the second release of Final Cut Studio is the first Intel and Mac OS X 10.5 compatible version.
Not all parts of the first Final Cut Studio release, which contains FCP 5.0 are Mac OS X 10.5 compatible, even on a Power PC, in particular Compressor and Qmaster.
So yes, AppleCare is right.

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!
Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

How to unlock a locked ipad It is locked and now i can not unlock it, the screen is not responding to my sliding the arrow to unlock. can someone suggest what should i do?
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

I have downloaded ios 5.1.1 and the wifi has stop working or it would stay on for less then 20min its only 9 months old can someone explain what is happening and if some know how to fix it
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

If the word "Off" is sort of cloudy and the settings are greyed out - that means you do not have restrictions enabled - but just in case - do you use a passcode to lock the iPad?
Exactly what message are you getting and where are you getting the message - what does the "email icon" mean? -
Streaming, can someone explain what I am doing wrong?
I have two ATVs both synced to one computer. I have a large music library on a second computer but can't find how to stream to one of the ATVs.
I followed the instructions in the booklet, opened iTunes on the relevant computer, chose sources on the ATV, "Connect to New iTunes" and noted the passcode, selected the ATV icon and "Click to set up", entered the passcode and the ATV icon disappeared. "My Library" shows in the sources but the ATV icon only re-appears on the computer if I switch to "Connect to New iTunes". If I then click on the icon the ATV page opens up with details of the ATV and a message saying that the ATV icon will only appear when "My Library" is selected on the ATV, but as soon as I do that the ATV icon disappears. The help file says in System Preferences sharing pane make sure "iTunes Music Sharing" is on! There is no "iTunes Music Sharing"!!
Please, can someone take this idiot through the process step by step, including how you start streaming once you have successfully made the connection?Glad to see everything is starting to work out.
You might consider two user accounts (that's logins) with a music library in each. It's a little more work to operate, but probably less than having two libraries in one user account and providing both users are logged in and have itunes running you should get both libraries available to you at the same time on the tv (obviously you would need to switch between them on the tv).
Otherwise I'd consolidate them by opening itunes (with library 1) and then dragging and dropping the music files from the music folder of library 2 onto itunes, I'd start by doing a few tunes to satisfy yourself that all is OK, you can probably do them in large chunks but I'd probably not drag them all at once, if something did go wrong you probably wouldn't lose any files but it might be difficult to figure out what files had been added and which hadn't before the problem occurred. -
Can someone explain what DHCP is and how I do I connect to WiFi hotspot?
Can someone explain how a wireless network/router with an internet connection allows computers with a wireless card to connect to the internet? For instance, In an internet cafe with WiFi, how does my macbook get the IP address for the ISP that the cafe uses to allow me to open a webpage with Safari? What is DHCP and how should I set my internet preferences to allow me to use a network other than my own.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe. Can see the network but not connect.Most Internet Cafes utilize DHCP to dynamically provide a wireless client with an IP address for that session. DHCP is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. It facilitates access to a network because these settings would otherwise have to be made manually for the client to participate in the network.
You Mac's AirPort, in turn, is set up to be a DHCP client by default. This allows your Mac to accept the dynamically provided IP address information from the Internet Cafe's DHCP server.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe.
It sounds like the AirPort settings that your Mac is using is no longer at their default settings...and my be the reason you cannot connect to the Internet at the Cafe...or, the Cafe has additional settings required. I suggest that you check with the Administrator of the particular Internet Cafe you're having trouble connecting with to find out what settings are necessary to use their wireless network.
A typical AirPort is set up as follows:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked) -

Can someone explain what exactly is involved when it comes to Time Machine snapshots?
Can someone give me a brief and succint description and tutorial on how Time Machine snapshots work?
I use Time Machine (on Mac OS X obviously, ML 10.8.4) to backup my HD onto a separate external drive at least once a week.
However, like so many other users I'm online in a variety of places so most of the time (about 99%) my laptop isn't able to be connected to the external designated for HD backups and I've heard and read that the application Time Machine can use "snapshots" to create temporary backups to hold until you've connected your external the next time.
I wonder how that works?
How do I go about setting up this snapshot option so that my laptop can be regularly backing up my files without me having to be tethered to the external at the same time?
Won't that fill up my entire drive due to virtual memory or sleepimage or swapfiles or something along those lines?
And last but certainly not least, how can the user take use of this option but also prevent the TM snapshots from hogging every availabe byte of memory.Read > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html

That's how it works.

Local snapshots are made automatically in portable Macs with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion. Simply disconnect the Time Machine drive from your Mac and your Mac will start making local snapshots.
CS7981 wrote:

These snapshots are stored in the hard drive and they consume a lot of space, as they are backing up the whole hard drive. A lot of users complain about the space they take, but in general, you don't have to worry. See below.
CS7981 wrote:

Local snpashots will be deleted automatically when the hard drive is full, so don't worry about it. If you want to remove them, simply open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn it off. Leave it for some minutes or hours, and turn on Time Machine again, but there's no reason to do that -

How about going the extra mile and actually posting the error message you receive rather than expecting everyone to guess? The more pertinent information you can provide, the easier it is to answer your question. And you want your question answered easily and quickly, right?

Can someone explain what "gfx-surface-win32" is in about:memory?
I have an extension that causes "gfx-surface-win32" in about:memory to use excessive amounts of memory. I have tried to contact the developer of the extension without any success. I was going to try and see if I could fix it but I can figure out what "gfx-surface-win32" is. Can some please explain what this is?
It's a graphics memory usage. The only solution I see is to [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?|update your graphics drivers]] because it's not recommended to change an extension you are not going to maintain.
Note that in Firefox 15 (released on August 28), leaky extensions won't leak in Firefox. See [http://blog.kylehuey.com/post/21892343371/fixing-the-memory-leak Kyle Huey's blog post]. -
