Finder freezes and applications crash once FileVault is enabled (OSX10.8 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB 1.067 MHz DDR3 RAM)
Hola!
When Mountain Lion was released I upgraded from Snow Leopard. It worked fine for a week, but then once FileVault was enabled, the finder slowed down durasticaly. This continued to become worse over a few days until it froze all together and applications would just stop responding and quit.
Not only that but the last thing that happened was that I would boot up, type in my password, and the computer would start to log in. Then as though nothing had happened, it would return to the login screen. This would happen every time I loged in. I was unable to reach any other screen except the login screen. It wasn't the wrong password, because typing in the wrong password on purpose would result in the password box shaking to inform as such. I called apple tech support, we ran a PRAM zapping, and a number of other procedures to no avail. When I ran the disk utility and verified the disk, it said the file system and all else was just fine. However, it would'nt allow me to verify disk permission nor run any reparing. In the end I had to reinstall Snow Leopard and reinstall Mountain Lion from there.
Wondering if there is a solution already or if anyone else has experienced this or a similar problem.
1. Yosemite, but you need to increase the amount of RAM in the computer before it can be upgraded past 10.6.8.
2. The current version of Flash is compatible with 10.6.8; the OS being too old isn’t the cause of that issue.

Help updating ATI graphics driver in bootcamp Windows 8.1 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch) with 4 GHz Intel core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and AMD Radeon R9 M295x 4096MB
Of note there is a new AMD Catalyst Omega driver released earlier in the week that brings 5K resolution to AMD graphics cards. Here is the link (support.ad.com/en-us/download) to the AMD site. But none of these work with my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), Windows 8 bootcamp.
Please advise.

Is installation on 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo (MacBook Pro)really not possible and why?
I would like to buy OS X Lion and install it on my MacBook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, but this processor is not in the list of the specifications (Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 or Xeon processor).
Is it really true that I can't install Lion on my Mac? If so, what is the reason?It has to be a Core 2 Duo. Those are the requirements for Lion.
Requires a newer Mac.
Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM. -
iMac 7.1 (2.47 Ghz Intel Core Duo w/2GB memory) operating OSX v 10.9.5. At the core level I find two Library folders, one within the System Folder and one by itself with the other core level folders - mostly same content. Is this right or do I have a duplication problem?
The system is slow. -
Updated CC2014 the other day, will not open, crashes everytime. I have OS X 10.9.4 - 3.4 ghz intel cor i7, 16 GB 1333 HHz DDR3, in vain talked on to adobe tech, with no help from Adobe.
This morning, I made a new "customer" and downloaded the "trial version" of CC2014 photoshop. This resulted a working CC2014. I hope Adobe can fix my "real" account which does not work at this time.
Anyone else tried this?
KenI don't think everyone with a Mac is having basic problems with Photoshop 2014.1.
What exact versions do you have in each case? Is your updated version 2014.1, while the "new customer" version is 2014.0? Choose Help - System Info to see.
Sounds like, given your specific system, you may want to try a full clean and reinstall, or maybe a downgrade to 2014.0 until 2014.1.1 or 2014.2 comes out. I think the older versions are available through the Creative Cloud application.

What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?
As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.
This info for Leopard courtesy of TexasMacMan;

http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

The fn key and movement keys on a MacBookPro 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
This is my first notebook computer so it may be obvious, but I cannot figure out how to use the fn key in combination with movement keys. While the fn home (right arrow) and end keys work, if you add any other command keys, like ctrl, shift, option, cmd the fn key seems not to function. For example shift-home (fn-left arrow-shift) which should extend the selection to the beginning of the line just functions as shift-left arrow. When I attach an external keyboard everything works as it should.
Actually, having played with things a bit just now, things seem to work oddly. If I hit shift (and hold it) then fn (and hold) and then left arrow, things work as they should, but if I hit fn (and hold) then shift (and hold) and then left arrow, it reacts as though I hit shift and left arrow only.
Is this normal (if it is it is strange to me)?
MacBookPro 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)my guess is a bug in the keyboard driver, maybe if
you report it to apple they will fix it, it looks
just like something that was overlooked during testing
That sounds like a good idea, but how does one report bugs to apple? There is nothing on the site that makes it obvious.

My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion. I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?
You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo" My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

I am not computer savy and like my macbook air because as a college student, and father that is very busy, I don't have to learn to re-use it every month after it crashes from a virus. Am I able to load the new version of osx that icloud requires onto this computer without changing it substantially or slowing it down?
If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.
