A good disk utility to empty caches: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
Use Onyx once a week, run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts and that will help speed your Mac up pronto.
Run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) once a week and Repair Disk Permissions:
Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
*Tip... very important: Run Disk Utility BEFORE and AFTER all software updates. That will save you headaches down the road.
In the future, would you please start your own topic.

    Take it to an Apple store to be repaired. The screen will need to be replaced as just the camera can't be replaced by itself. If it a newer unit and or you have Applecare and it is less then 3 years old it will be covered by the warranty. If it is older and or you do not have Applecare then the repair will be at your expense.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Since I installed the latest Firefox my Roboform dose not work. It still works with IE.

    Since I installed the latest Firefox my Roboform dose not work. It still works with IE.

    I have Roboform Pro, I don't want to down grade to Lite. Roboform is working, but I can't get the full Toolbar to display all that shows up is the Show Toobar icon and nothing happens when I click it. So I can't fill in log on forms. Isn't there a way to get the pro version to work?
    Thank you for your input and trying to answer my questions.

  • Nokia N95 - GPS dos not work & Barcode Scan not wo...

    Hi.. I have Nokia N95 (N95-1 by user manual) - device firmware soft version
    11.0.026
    17-04-07
    RM-159
    Nokia N95(05.01)
    When i try use "GPS position" application or "Maps" it's dos not work. All ways i see - "no connected" in status (in my home, in street and other open places). In all times that i'am user my N95 only one time by command "Satellites State" y have screen with 2 satellite (~5second) and other time allways "No Data or No Connected Satellites".
    Q: Whats the problem - it's that Qaulite(or Strong) of GPS(for that needed like it GPS)? or it's defect and GPS must work avrever (and home, and on street)
    When i try use application "Barcode Reader" - it's no one times dos not readed barcode? Only try? and try, and try... all times?
    Q: Why dos not work? who see worked "Barcode reader"?
    Thank to ALL..
    (with love from Russia)
    Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

    First of all , you should update to the newest firmware (v20). If you can of course, for some network branded phones update is not available yet.
    As for GPS, first fix is taking a long time (5 to 10 minutes).
    In v12 and above A-GPS (assisted GPS) was added to speedup the process. It's using data connection for initial lock.
    And make sure you're not covering tha hash key, that's where GPS reciever is. It will get a fix, just be patient because it will take some time.
    Barcode reader is not for reading normal barcodes (like on products). It's used for Nokia's mobilecodes. You can check it here
