Explanations:
Folder Depth: This number indicates how many folders are nested inside each other. If a disk contains only three
folders and Folder A is inside Folder B and Folder B is inside Folder C, then this disk has a maximum folder depth of
three. Folders nested too deeply can cause software compatibility problems.
Property List: This is a standard file format for storing data and is often used to store preferences. The names of
these files normally end with a .plist file extension. Corrupt property list files can cause system instability.
Resource Data: This is an older file format for storing data and was often used to store preferences. The names of
these files normally end with a .rsrc file extension. Corrupt resource data files can cause system instability.
System Symbolic Link Files: These are files used by the operating system that are similar to aliases. If these files are
damaged it may prevent startup or cause system instability.

Any ideas why this is happening?

I have a 2011 MBP, i7 13 inch. My MBP has been lagging really badly and eating up bandwidth. When I go to Activity Monitor, two things seem to be going off - syslogd and mtmd. Their CPU percentage is really high.

Even typing this, the computer will lag and the fans are really loud.
When my partner is playing xbox, he lags really badly and when I turn off my computer, it stops.
Does anyone know what might be wrong with it?
Thanks in advance.

How much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Video quality in scope is really bad and dark

When I send my sequence from Final Cut Pro to Color, why does the video in the scope area come out so bad where I can barely see anything? Basically the video is nothing like the quality in final cut pro and the picture is very very dark.
When I see the tutorials online of the videos being sent to color from final cut, the quality is exactly the same and they don't do any adjustment.
Can someone please help me fix this? I work with AVCHD. Thanks!

Thanks George.
Now the quality is not "really" bad anymore, it is bad. ;-)
The quality got better, but still there is a difference between drawing shapes and cell borders. And the difference is causing problems with customers, who are demanding professional quality.
Here is a .jpg of the original Excel table. The drawing shape is the outer one, the cell borders are the lines beneath the data. Both line types are very delicat. This is how it should be.
And this is how it looks after a pdf-print with setting "high quality print" (2400 dpi).
The outer drawing shape is ok. The thin horizontal lines are twice as thick than before.
I know, it is about details. But those details make the difference between a professional and an amateur performance.
Do you have another idea, how to improve the pdf quality?
Thanks for your help so far, I appreciate it.

The FaceTime camera is really bad and has tiny things scrambling everywhere on The New iPad why?

The FaceTime camera is really bad however the front one is clear why is that?!

First, this is a user to user forum, so you're not talking to Apple here...none of 'us' broke the card reader.
Have you tried to give your iPad a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot.
Also, I've noticed with mine that the import window doesn't always pop up like it used to, but instead you'll see 'import' as a button added to the bottom right of the screen when you plug in a SD card that holds properly named and formatted content (as in if you plug in a SD card without a DCIM folder you get no response, there has to be something for it to import for the option to even appear

I have The New iPad and the FaceTime camera is really bad and fuzzy and does not autofocus properly however the other camera is really good how do I fix this?

I'm also on iPhone 4, iOS 6, and have exactly the same problem. I've tried resetting privacy settings, turning restrictions on and off, deleting and reinstalling apps. Nothing seems to work. The lists of apps in privacy settings are all empty, except for location services. When using Tweetbot the app is regularly asking for permission to access my twitter account, but even when I allow that, the app doesn't show in privacy settings. When I try to go into the camera roll from the Facebook app, the app tells me I have to allow access to the camera roll from the privacy settings - which I can't do since the app is not listed there.

My MacBook Pro is acting really strange and unusual

Please read my 3 part chronicle named 'The Tribulations of M. B. Pro' Pictures featured at end.
I recently showed an apple techy (in-store) a picture of what my laptop displayed the other day and he said he didn't know but I should bring it in asap, he looked worried and slightly frightened for me. This worried me. I feared for the well-being of my Laptop. He also said I could try wiping it clean and reinstalling software via CD, but tried to persuade me to take it in. Frankly, I wondered if any of you clever gents know if I can do anything myself. I shall tell you all I know, its a long story but the details I think are rather important...
So it all started a few months ago, I was surfing the web on my iPhone and a new window popped up claiming to be the 'police' and I was in trouble for illegally downloading stuff. I regrettably copy and pasted the url onto my mac. D: So it turned out to be fake and tryied to make me pay out and it also tried to give me a virus I think, it said it has encrypted all my files etc. Every time I tried to leave the site a mac popup said are you sure you want to leave and it kept popping up so I couldn't close safari. Eventually it closed, but I was slightly shaken by this dreadful ordeal that we shall from now on call 'The Unworthy Comeuppance', I then downloaded Sophos antivirus software and it scanned to say everything was clean, although it did say 'issues detected but no threats found'. After search the web i concluded this was normal. End of part 1.
Part 2.
From the beginning of The Unworthy Comeuppance my Laptop has, I believe, slowed down considerably. It most certainly has done from 18 months ago when it was new. Putting this issue aside, however, you will be intrigued to hear the odd predicaments that have become of my much loved MacBook Pro. After resetting Safari and restarting my laptop the following day, I lauched safari only for it to present a jumbley scrambled mixed up mess of scary computer badness, I name it Lucifer. It appeared only for 3 seconds or so, enough to make me poo instantly and be sick all over myself. I soldiered on and all seemed to be well, other than the slowness/not very fastness. Weeks went by, all the while I thought my laptop may have been completely normal. However, one day I launched Safari for who else but Lucifer to reappear! The little **** has shown himself a few times since too, 6 or 7 times in total I think. It has never been an inconvenience or disruption, just a worry. End of part 2.
Part 3.
Noticing longer start up times and slower performance, I worry what has become of my laptop since The Unworthy Comeuppance. One day after restarting, a few graphics were slightly odd, some icons on the dock were blocks of fizzy colours and the bar at the top changed to black/invisible. The only way this went was after I restarted it again. In addition to this, sometimes when it turns on it makes a wierd noise. Normally makes that du u uuuu duuuuu noise, but it did this twice. I do not mean the duuuuuuuuu mac sound on startup. I mean the sound of the hardware, du u uuuu duuuuu. Generally applications take longer to load, especially iPhoto, but all apps take a while now, as well as slow start up. All of which has lead me to this exact moment where you are reading this right now. End of part 3.

I look forward to your suggestions.
Cheers

You don't say which year you have, however...
...there are known problems with the mid-2010 models (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) as well as early and late 15" 2011 models (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0).
Apple has taken ownership of the problems with the 2010 model but, unfortunately, the free logic board replacement for that model has probably long expired for you - three years after date of purchase.
One the 2011 models Apple has admitted no defect. You'll just have to skim the articles to get an overview of the problems that people are having (usually showing up as screen glitches at first and then going downhill from there).
Good luck,
Clinton

Computer goes on standby and crashes all open windows.

When my computer goes on standby, all open windows (word, chrome, excel) crash and reopen. Word appears with a solid orange or dark yellow. How can I stop this from happening?
It might happen most often when the screen is being projected during the work day.
This problem has only been occuring since I updated to Mavericks a few weeks ago.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Lightroom 4.1 (3, 4 or any version) causes computer to blue screen and crash

Recently bought the new Lightroom 4.1 in an attempt to fix this issue, which had been occuring off and on for some time. I have major difficulties with importing and/or rendering previews or editing Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 5D Mark III images using Lightroom. The computer abruptly blue screens, then reboots. The blue screen code is 124. I'll attach a record of minidumps (all caused by editing or importing images using LR4.)
Not sure if that can be viewed, but please ask so I can send you the dump file for inspection if necessary. It essentially shows the Bug Check Code as 0x00000124, caused by address ntoskrnl.exe+4b09bc.

I have an 850W PSU. Running Windows 7 Ultimate on a 150GB SSD.
I find this very frustrating because it's a PC that I built and that can do any complex task--anything from using PS CS4 with multiple layers, playing top-end games like Crysis 2 and Diablo 3 with graphics on full. Other than this RAW development issue, the computer is flawless and VERY fast. Anyone have any ideas, or see a hole in the system specs?
Cheers,

The video driver is up to date, and I would assume compliant with LR4.
My BIOS version is default, and I tried installing new BIOS updates but ran into troubles. The Asus motherboard uses ATI Catalyst to introduce new system updates, but it fries my PC (assuredly a conflict with my nVidia card) making the rig run even slower. In fact, using the ATI Catalyst disc (the one that came with my mobo) crashed once I had tried to install any motherboard utilities! I've gone through the BIOS configuration and turned off all of this mobo's overclocking features and set everything to default.
No overclocking going on whatsoever--not once, and never will.
Reseated the memory and tested the memory with no negative feedback.
The PSU is relatively new and of high quality. I replaced an old PSU because of exactly what you mentioned above. It's a Corsair GS800 (not 850W, 800W).
I'm at the point right now where I suspect the motherboard is failing me somehow. I only bought it because I was in a rush and would have normally opted fro a "non-overclocking-enthusiast's" board. Perhaps there's a way of updating BIOS without utilizing the disc (the ATI Catalyst, more to the point?)
The PC is new in a sense. I seem to recall a point where LR3 worked with fewer crashes. I built the thing April 2011. Just reinstalled Windows 7 and all the software again.

Laptop not even a year old and the power cord is stripping really bad and barely working

My toshiba laptop is not even a year old and the part of the cord closest to my computer is becoming really stripped. I noticed that it got very hot during pc use, I just assumed that was normal, but I'm starting to think that this heat made the rubber very soft and caused the cord to strip. I guess my question is, do you think toshiba will replace this or will they just say that it was my fault that it happened?

You can either use a cloud service like Google Drive, or use the built in Verizon Cloud Backup, or you could plug the phone into a computer and use it like a USB drive and copy the photos from there to the PC. Your contacts are backup up through Google if you've been saving contacts to your Google account, otherwise Verizon has a backup on the phone as well and when you restart the phone after wipe you can select either or both accounts to restore from.
To factory Reset: Go to Settings (pull down notification bar click on gear top right corner). Then go to Back up and Reset. At the bottom is Factory data reset. Press that then press reset phone. It WILL be completely wiped, but it will keep the current OS version. It'll be like you just bought it.

Computer Acting really Strange After 10.4.11 Update

Two days ago i updated to 10.4.11, at first i had some general problems with safari and some apps not working, but after reading and reinstalling apps, i thought all my problems was solved.
But !
Now i have a strange problem. Everything works fine on start up, but after a few hours it starts to work REALLY slow. For example, moving the cursor to the dock, it takes a few seconds before it pops up, and moving the cursor over the apps it "stutters", it does the same in all my programs.
i can restart and i wont have the problem for an hour or two, but many tasks i use my computer for takes longer than that, so i really hope someone can help me with my problem.
As english is not my main language, i also hope that i have described my problem well enough.
Thanks
Martin

I've been having similar problems with my G4 iBook after updating to 10.4.11.
After using the machine for awhile, my machine sort of 'freezes'. I say sort of because I can move the cursor around, but I'm not able to switch applications. The dock cannot be accessed. The menus at the top of the screen cannot be accessed. Force Quit cannot be accessed through keyboard command. The only thing that works is the cursor. I can't even switch applications by clicking on the window of a different application if I can see it underneath whatever is at the front of my screen.
I repaired disk permissions from my Tiger Install DVD. I ran DiskWarrior 4. Nothing has helped. I'm still getting the same problem. At first I thought it was Safari 3, but this problem is happening no matter what application happens to be open.
The only way to get out of this is to restart using the control-command-power combination. Until this problem is resolved, I'm going to hold off updating my other iBook.
An ideas?

Itunes acting really weird then crashes

When i'm using itunes to update my ipod touch and add songs sometimes it will act weird and the fonts all change and stuff disappears then itunes crashes. I have the newest version of itunes

Hey VK
Thanks for the quick response.
I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
6. Choose it to be set at bottom
Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!

I recently cracked my ipod touch screen really bad and i bought a replacement screen for it. I was wondering how much it would cost to have it repaired if i already have the screen?

Goolge for a third-party place. There are good ones and bad ones. Many will not allow you to supply parts.

I dont have a question. I just want to say mozilla is offensively bad and crashes worse than any browser ive ever used, i am going back to anything but mozilla.

Believe it or not but Firefox 12.0 itself is not crash prone but something else is causing the crashes.
