My system got a gray screen a week ago.  I started open windows and files when i wasn't touching system.  then I went into system to see logs and found all this info was getting sent out - and a history of log showed I had changed print share file share-- which i never use.  //  OK after getting gray screen - it wouldn't reboot.  I put in disk for repair (Utilities Disk) and it shows that permissions wrong and that the "volume" has a error but that it couldn't fix.  When I tried to go back to old backup - there is none YET I have it turned on...
system.  ERRORS RECEIVED - PERMISSIONS are all wrong - in logs apple can't find the correct paths to files.  I have Library out of my system Library.  I have folders that are titles
MAC OS10.6.8
processor 2 ghz core 2 duo
2gb 667 mhz ddr2 sdram
From what I can tell NO backups can I access from disk recovery. all this started when I updated APril 12, 2012 Java.  It has changed everything to Alais "A" and "B".  If I delete scripts because they are running -- they appear 2 & 3 times more.  Call me parnoid - but also my sound keeps getting turned on and so does my camera...If I need to reformate - how if I back up will it not effect newly reformated system?  I just know my MAc is doing weird things.  Also On my other system it has users with same names but different numbers after it -- example: user, user1, user 2 user 3, etc. up to over 100 BUT I am unable to access...
I feel Like I am on a PC not a MAC.

  • HT201318 I BOUGHT 15gb of storage and it is not enough. I then bought the 25gb.Does this mean I have 40gb now or can I cancel the 15gb plan. All I need is the 25gb plan.

    I BOUGHT 15gb of storage and it is not enough. I then bought the 25gb.Does this mean I have 40gb now or can I cancel the 15gb plan. All I need is the 25gb plan.

    This should answer your question:
    "If you purchase a higher-tier storage plan for your iCloud account to replace your existing storage plan (for example, a 20 GB plan to replace a 10 GB plan), the existing plan will be canceled and you will receive a prorated refund for the time remaining. The new storage plan is applied to your iCloud account and the annual payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan." - https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874

  • I believe I might have a virus on my mac.  Mackeeper shows up 4 times on my download listings but there is no icon on my applications tab.  Does this mean I have installed some sort of problem on my computer now?

    Hello  Last night while watching a video on Facebook a pop up window said I had a virus and to clean it click on the link.  I did so and followed a prompt or 2 and then I thought this was a scam so I stopped.  However I looked at my download file and it shows Mackeeper listed 4 times.  Does this mean I have installed MacKeeper and if so does this mean I have installed some sort of malware/spyware or problems for my computer hence for myself. 
    Thank you for your help

  • Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there?

    Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there? It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was  a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?

    1. No, you haven't.
    2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
    3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.

  • Every time i click on a link another random link pops up in a new window. Does this mean i have a virus on my mac?

    every time i click on a link another random link pops up in a new window. Does this mean i have a virus on my mac?

    No; it means that the computer has adware. Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone.  See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
    If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

    With Firefox 11 it looks like I have been hacked but I can't tell for sure. With a right click in the browser menu there is a Volcano option at the top. I can't find and help information of this menu option. I don't dare click on it.
    Is this something new that was added?

  • When I view "On this iPod" on my iTunes, nearly half my songs have an exclamation mark next to them. Does this mean I have to go back, download these songs again and upload them to my iPod again?

    I've never had this problem before but today, when I connected my iPod to my computer and uploaded some new music to it, I finished and ejected the iPod properly but about 6GB of music was missing. So I connected it again and when I went on to "On This iPod", the songs that were missing were named on there but had an exclamation mark next to them. Why is this and how do I fix it?

    I posted this in the iPhone forum seeing someone had an issue there about this. I had the exact same issue but with my iPad. It was really annoying. I had to delete all the songs in iTunes that it thought were still on my iPad, but weren't. Then I was able to manually put the songs back onto the iPad. If I didn't delete the songs with the exclamation point, then the syncing was very slow and sometimes would freeze when "waiting for changes to be applied".
    About a third of my music was deleted (about 6GB) and so were some of my videos. I updated to the most recent iTunes too. I've never had this issue before and did take a lot of time. I'm running Windows 8.1 (I know - has many issues) and I wondered if that maybe did something?
    I don't think you have any option than to delete the songs with the exclamation points and put them back on the device. Hopefully Apple will figure out the issue - ios 7.0.3 or the new iTunes.

  • I just opened iWeb for the first time in several months and the fonts have changed and are garbled in the headers.  Is this a result of switching to Lion, and does this mean I have to go through all 70 pages on my site and manually change them back?

    The text on my pages are messed up.  The letters in my headers are on top of each other and the letters in the body of my pages have no separation between them.  Is this a result of switching to Lion?  (I haven't opened iWeb in several months, since before I installed Lion.)  Any ideas of how to fix this, or do I need to go text block by text block and page by page to put it back right?  Thanks.

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
