I have no idea whether there is a causal relationship but since moving to Lion and iCloud, my iMac has become so unresponsive that I wind up having to crash and restart most of the time. This is true regardless of the app I am using at the time.
The specs of this iMac are:
iMac 27 inch, late 2009 model with a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gig 1067 Mhz DDR3, using OSX Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have Mackeeper installed and according to the scans I have run, everything is fine. No virus, no junk files . . . no problems at all . . .
Except that for all practical purposes, my computer isn't working.
I am nearly totally deaf and live in an isolated, rural area of NW Missouri and this computer is what I mainly rely on to contact friends, relatives and business associtates!
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.

My brand new Envy 4-1030us model's fan is running most of the time. it is noisy and annoying.

Just bought HP Envy 4-1030us 2 days ago and i have configured my needful software. The fan seems to be running most of the time (battery or powered) and it is very noisy and annoying. I turned off the coolsense too but still noisy. Pls let me know what to do? Is it problem with the laptop. Should I return?

You can enter the BIOS and disable the "Fan Always On" setting.
I suggest leaving the coolsense on.

E-mail won't send most of the time

Ever since my Touch upgraded to the v. 4 firmware I've had trouble with sending e-mail. I don't have as much problem receiving mail...sometimes I can only preview my messages and but most of the time I can open received messages. For a while I couldn't send mail (I use Yahoo and the Touch already had the server settings for it), then after a couple of days it suddeenly started sending again. Now it's not sending! So aggravating!!
The error message says "The connection to the outgoing server "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars." This seems silly because it works - just off and on! Does anyone else have this issue...any solutions? Thanks

I am having the same problem. I have an ipod touch that worked fine up until the 4.0 firmware. The only thing I have noticed with mine that it was glitchy when it came to sending mail (which I use yahoo). Then most recently it stopped sending altogether. My isp is verizon & I have an airport extreme. I noticed today I can bounce off of a neighbors linksys wifi. Now I have no clue who their isp is. It's either verizon or comcast. Regardless I was able to send mail using their internet. Mine on the other hand is a no go.
I too am *extremely frustrated*. I have deleted my mail accts several times in hopes of it fixing the problem. I also updated to the latest firmware of 4.1 in hopes of it resolving the issue. I even tried using other smtp servers with no luck.
I hope someone out here has a solution to this problem. It is very frustrating.

Ever since upgrading to v5, most of the time, I am unable to get Firefox to start.

I have upgraded to Firefox v5 and now, most of the time, it will not start. I can see Firefox added to the process list each time I click on it, but there is zero activity against the process. I am able to bring up IE so there is no problem with my internet connection (I am having to use IE to enter this note....). Once in a while after a reboot, Firefox will start, but even then it is unstable (may or may not stay up).

Have you tried to restore your iPhone:Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support. You're supposed to restore it to make sure it is not the problem cause by the operating system. After then, you can contact apple for support: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/. Apple will either repair the phone for you or replace it with a new one.

For battery life is it better to run my newly acquired 2010 Macbook Pro on battery most of the time down fully then charge or plug it in most of the time?

Just wondering about my 2010 Macbook Pro 13'
For the best overall battery life is it better to run battery down each time then plug in til fully charged or just plug in and use most of the time?
Thanks

Hi C,
Run it about 30 minutes a day on batt, the rest on the power adapter. Every month or two, run the batt all the way down until it goes into forced sleep, wait five hours, then charge it all the way up.

Fan is running most of the time

I bought a new DV6-6c53cl a week ago, fan is running most of the time. I updated all the drivers, Bios is F12. The laptop does not feel like being too hot, I am in a 68 F environment, not running games. In fact this morning, I have Outlook open and a couple of browser sessions and still, it barely stop running. It is annoying to a point that i am considering returning it!
Any advice would be really appreciate.

Hi Rdore,
Welcome to the HP Forum! Congratulations on your new notebook.
I doubt there is anything wrong with the fan since the system is so new; there are some things you can check (and possibly adjust) to make sure the system is operating efficiently.
Take a look at this document:
Reducing Fan Noise (Windows 7)
Comments:
The dv6 you have purchased should provide good service - HPs do run hot compared to some brands on the market - the fan settings are usually adjustable to some degree. You will find the computer serves you better when the fan is allowed to run as necessary to keep the notebook cooler. Never put the notebook on a bed, couch, or carpet... or your lap for extended periods. Contrary to the name, HP notebooks are not laptops; they are smallish computers with lids. They don't take well to being smothered.
If you use your notebook on a desk, keep it elevated to allow good air flow - this will help reduce the load on the fan. You might consider a laptop-cooler; these run quiet and reduce notebook fan noise by keeping the notebook cooler, especially during gaming or heavy load. There are lots of posts here on the forum on the subject and you can learn alot by reading as many of them as you find interesting.
I hope this helps.

I did everything lllaass suggested and removed most of the itunes related components, but when I tried to remove itunes, I got the message, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" so I was not able to uninstall it.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

With version 5 of Firefox, if I open more than 1 session, most of the time I cannot see anything in the navigation bar and my back and forward buttons do not work.

I open 1 session of Firefox 5.0.1 and everything seems to work fine. Then I open a second session of Firefox and most of the time the navigation bar does not show the page that I am on and the back and forward buttons do not work. When this happens, the first session always remains working. I am an internet marketer so I have at least 2 or 3 sessions going at any given time.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

When I open a link in a new tab, most of the time it opens to the bottom of the page, and I have to scroll back up to the top or hit the Home key.

When reading a web page, I will right-click on a link and select 'open link in new tab' and most of the time it will open the new page right at the bottom. I then have to scroll up with the mouse or hit the 'home' button on my keyboard to get back to the top of the page. I've already looked at the tab settings in the options menu, and there's nothing there that seems to apply.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Yes.

I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
See: Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

HT201270 I have followed the instructions provided in this article but none of them worked. I even tried getting a new sim, still my phone network goes no service most of the time. There is no apple store in Philippines and I feel so helpless.

I live in the Philippines but my iPhone 4S was bought from Korea. There is no Apple store in my place and no one can help me fix my problem with my iPhone. I don't think Apple would replace my phone either despite the fact that it's still under warranty.
My phone would normally go on "No Service" status since I updated to iOS 5.1, so I am not able to make/receive phone calls/messages most of the time. It's really frustrating especially because my iPhone is just 3 months old.
Can anyone help me with my problem?
- I have restored my iPhone's OS and didn't do any back up
- Did reset network, reset all settings, among other resets available in my phone
- Used a new sim card from my network provider
- Used sim card from other network provider (since my phone is factory unlocked)
All the abovementioned didn't work and I'm getting really frustrated.I never had this problem when I was using iPhone 4.
Help me, please.

Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

Fan is on and loud most of the time
