it's not always like this, just sometimes.
cheers
tominic,
Go to System Preferences>Sharing and turn File Sharing off...
Or de-select the Applications Folder from File Sharing's Shared Folders (if you need File Sharing on)...
If you're not sure that you need file sharing on, you probably don't, so turn it off for your system's safety.

Finder has gone from slow to nearly unresponsive!!!
I have owned a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 2GB of RAM for about a year and upgraded to Leopard the week that it was released, and I had no problems with it off the bat; in fact, my system ran as well as it had in months once I first installed it. However, within a few weeks, there were small slow-downs in various aspects of my system. In the the past month, though, my system has slowed down drastically, primarily when using Finder. Some of my application load-times are still a bit slower than usual, but it is when I am using Finder to move files/navigate my system that the biggest problem exists. Whether it be moving a single text file from one folder to another, moving a file to the trash, or even sorting files in a folder, rather than doing it immediately (as it should when moving a single file) my computer gives me the spinning beach ball and becomes unresponsive for about 5 seconds before finally completing the task and returning to normal. If I want to move another file immediately thereafter, the same thing occurs.
I admit that I like to try out various applications and keep my hard drive relatively full at times, but, other than that, I make sure to take care of my system. I understand that the application slow downs can be attributed to a large hard drive capacity or any number of other things, but a problem like this in the Finder seems very odd and (hopefully not) serious.
I have updated to 10.5.1, I run Cocktail weekly and have run the Disk Utility operations as well. For the first time since I've owned my MacBook Pro, in fact, when "Verifying Permissions" my system came upon various errors, and I think that they might be the culprit. I ran "Repair Permissions" and, after quite a while, the following was the output, and I am hoping that someone can help me interpret it and/or point me in any direction that he or she may feel will be helpful. My system is backed up, but I would prefer not to re-install Leopard, as I am just beginning final exams in law school and would not want something catastrophic to happen right now. That being said, if that seems like the only option, then I am willing to do it and will just have to wait a few weeks to get down to it.
Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to read this post. Any help that can be contributed to my problem, or any suggestions, advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks once again.
Sincerely,
Brandon

Try starting in "Safe Mode" and see how your OS performs. This will take a while to boot up because it performs a directory check first, so be patient.

I updated to the latest version of itunes and since then I have a problem with sound on playback. I can play music tracks with no problem at all. The problem is with music videos and tv programs. The sound has a warbling effect, sounds garbled and is out of sync big time.
Everything was perfectly okay before I updated, but now I am mystified. Any ideas?
Windows media player and media monkey play music without any problems.What country are you in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries), you haven't changed countries since buying it, it's still in the store (rights-holder occasionally remove their items) and it's not hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases ?

Safari History flow has gone weird!
I used to get a window with coverflow access to all the history pages. Now when I choose it, I get a translucent black window. The top of the window shows a black smaller window, the lower part is filled with horozontal white lines. At any rate the History flow function is now totally useless.
I emptied cache - no help.
I reset Safari - no help.
Any ideas?HI,
Quit Safari if it's open. Command + Q
Open a Finder window. Select your home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Safari folder.
Move the HistoryIndex.sk and History.plist files from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems, login to another user account on your Mac. Launch Safari. See if the same thing happens there.

I have an iPhone 4s. Today I went on to my calendar app to find everything deleted from it. Then I went to make a phone call and every single one of my contacts has gone from my phone. Can I get them back and how?
Whoa whoa no need to go restoring stuff yet, once you've done that check to verify you have done what Overlook2011 IF that doesn't work for calendars ensure your default account for calendars is set to iCloud and in calendars that it is told to "Show all calendars"

How to find at what time Idoc has gone out of SAP
Hi Gurus,
Could anybody let me know , how to check at what time Idoc has gone out of SAP in case of outbound Idoc.
I am not talking about Idoc creation date which we can see in control records in WE05.
-B S Byou have to see the status of the idoc ,if idoc status is green color ( Succesfully completed ) then use
EDIDC-UPDTIM ( This should be last Time)
Date is EDIDC-UPDDAT.
See the other table EDIDS to check the idoc status.
Thanks

Regarding Mail: When I return to my computer after it has gone to sleep, my accounts go offline, and are always asking me for the password. THis is very annoying. How can I prevent this?
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -
My Aperture 2.1 has gone into a continual thumbnail mode. I left the computer, a MacBook Pro, run all night, about 12 hours and it is still making thumbnails. I tried reloading Aperture 2.1, but that did not change anything. I have also turned the system off, for a period of time, and then turning it back on, when I click on Aperture, it comes up and locks in the thumbnail mode. I can view my stored pictures, even modify them, but it still says thumbnails.
I got in this mode by trying to import "one jpeg photo", from a scanned slide using a Nikon Scan4 IS5000ED scanner. I had saved the scan to my desktop before I tried to import it.

ThanksMy daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

I updated to Firefox 4 but now Fire FTP add on has gone
I updated to Firefox 4 and was about to go to Fire FTP to upload some files to a web site but it has gone from the tools menu. I have looked for it and cannot seem to find it in any other menus. Do I have to reinstall it? Does this mean I would have lost all my passwords that were stored on there??
There was not information during installation that this would happen even though I did get the message about another add on!Try to (re)install the latest version of FireFTP.
