Do you have to "clean up" a Mac like you do a pc?
Just wondering if you have to reconfigure a Mac to make it run faster, and if you do, how do you do it?
Fortunately OS X is not like MS Windows that requires lots of third party utilities to keep it running. If you let the machine run 24/7 (I've been doing this for 4 1/2 years with no problems) it will run daily, weekly and monthly utilities in the background. You can manually run these and also see when they were last run by downloading the Maintidget Widget.
There are many reasons why a Mac may slow down, you didn't say yours was you only asked if it's possible to speed it up but you didn't say why you asked. For example if you said something like, "My Mac isn't as fast as it was when it was new." then we'd have some clues. If you fall into that category then I'd suggest using the troubleshooting article 25 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac.

My phone is not showing up in itunes. I want to sync it. I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes. What do I do now? It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac. Help!
With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up. If not, you are having a sync problem. If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

No Adobe support for CC Team Members if you have installed Parallels on your Mac
No Adobe support for CC Team Members if you have installed Parallels on your Mac
First let me make it clear my iMac is running native OS X 10.8.5 and all Adobe Creative Cloud Apps are install on the iMac running natively in the OS X system environment. I only have Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac installed to run Microsoft Office software in Windows 7 when needed (because PowerPoint for Mac sucks big time compared to the PC version)… absolutely no Adobe CC Apps have been installed on the Parallels virtual PC environment.
I have been having problems with Creative Cloud Desktop not updating so I uninstalled it and tried to install the latest version from Adobe. I then get the following error:
We've encountered the following issues:
There seems to be a problem accessing a critical file/directory during download. For troubleshooting tips. please visit our customer support page. (Error code: 204)
[retry] [cancel]
This has happened all last week. Because we have been so busy at work I waited until the weekend to contact the 24/7 chat support.
This was going well. I was sharing my desktop with the agent who was adjusting the permissions of some folder. The problem came when he launched chrome on Parallels and not on the MAC and tried to install the PC EXE version of CC desktop. When I pointed this out to the Agent he instantly stop the screen share and stated in the chat box that virtual computers are not supported and I must find my own solution without giving me an opportunity to explain.
Every time I tried to start the chat again I was cut-off while trying to explain that Adobe CC was running natively under a native OS X and the Virtual PC was a separate to this
Only after my 4th attempt (having per cut an pasted my arguement into the chat box) did a get any further. The Agent refused to continue to try and fix my problem but did say the Adobe engineers are aware of the "204" error
Has anyone else had this "204" error installing Creative Cloud Desktop or can direct me to a solution it would be much appreciatedUnfortunately I am still getting the 204 error
I download the Creative Cloud Desktop App at home and brought it into work to install — which failed
I then tried to install the same file on the only Mac in the office not on Creative Cloud and it installed with out any problems
I then tried plugging my iMac into the same ethernet socket incase it was a problem with the ethernet socket. No luck it still had the 204 error
These are the Adobe download log files which show errors but they me nothing to me

Do you have to turn off your Mac book pro ?
Do you have to turn off your Mac book pro ?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you aren't going to use your MacBook for days, turn it off to save battery. If not, you can leave it in sleep mode. Sleep mode doesn't consume a lot of energy and allows you to start up your Mac in seconds, being faster than turning on the MacBook, so it's better to leave it in sleep mode -

Does Apple TV actually shut off when you switch back to regular TV? Or do you have to sign out? How do you sign out? Or is there another way to shut it off? Thanks!
No, you need to go into the settings and select sleep now.
You can also press/hold the select (centre) button on the remote for 5 seconds. -

CS4 Upgrade, the serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected
I have a valid CS2 premium license and have installed CS4 upgrade to a new machine but get the dreaded error "the serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected" Now I got this error when I originally installed in 2009, back then I could call customer service and get the problem resolved but now when I phone I get an automated message saying phone support is not available for CS4? Does anyone know of a work around or a UK number where I can get this resolved? Any help would be appreciated.

No, but you should sync it to iTunes before you update it.

When you have location service on for camera when you post to facebook, instagram etc. can people find out were I took it?
Hey jerzeyzfynest,
Unfortuantely, no -- Geek Squad Protection plans require that repairs be sought before a product is considered for replacement. This means your current laptop would only qualify for an exchange if one or more of the following conditions are met:
A factory-authorized technician has determined that repairs cannot be completed
A factory-authorized technician has determined that replacement parts cannot be obtained
The unit has accrued two previous qualifying repairs a factory-authorized technician has identified a third qualifying hardware failure
A detailed overview of this policy may be found in your plan documentation, as well as in the sample brochure available on the following site:
http://bbyurl.us/TandC
If your current laptop hasn't been performing up to par, then I'd encourage you to speak with a technician at your local store when you have the chance to do so. Diagnostic services are included in your service plan coverage, so we'd be glad to help find out what's going on.

To add meta tags, you open your published .html pages with TextEdit or any other text editor and modify as required. You have to do redo it each time you republish. I need step by step instructions on how to accomplish this please .
Rage Sitemap Automator and iWeb SEO Tool are two different applications.
Use SEO Tool to add the title tag and meta description. These need to be added to the html file for every page of your website. SEO Tool stores all these so that when you republish you only need to add tags to any new pages and click the re-apply button to refresh the existing ones.
Once you have added. refreshe the tags with iWeb SEO Tool and uploaded the files with your FTP application, then open the site in Sitemap Automator and create and upload a new sitemap.
Once you have set up accounts with Google, Yahoo and Bing, verified your site with each and submitted a sitemap, on subsequent publishing Sitemap Automator will resubmit the sitemap with one button click. It will also notify Ask.com whch doesn't require an account since you can add your domain name to this URL to ping them...

How do you do action recording in Photoshop Elements like you can in regular photoshop?
How do you do action recording in Photoshop Elements like you can in regular photoshop?
One of my clients is a club promoter and they would like to put their logo on the bottom left of their photos from their events. Usually I can do this by opening the logo (which has like 50% opacity), copying the logo, recording an action set, pasting the logo i copied to memory into the photo, resize the photo and export and close the photo, save the action set and then just batch- automate and choose all currently opened images to run the action on.
*I mentioned the 50% opacity because I want to put the logo on the photos but not totally hide what's underneath the logo.
How do I do the same with photoshop elements?
-LineJust another option that may work for you there are a number of relatively cheap and a couple of freeware programs that are listed here, there are many others I am sure.

I have not used any of these so I can not recommend of course but most have trial versions.
Good Luck,
