Has anyone experience the "cricket" sound on an iMac pro ?

Has anyone experienced the "cricket" sound that seems to come when connected to the internet? It is disquieting ....

Thanks a ton for your quick response, Todd...
I do have the playback resolution set at 1/8th and the paused resolution set at 1/4, and the footage seems to handle just fine. I don't know the specifics of the computers, but I did notice that they had only 4GB ram, a single HD, and they don't have a GPU enabled graphics card installed.
I played around a bit with some of the footage on one a little while ago and it seems to play pretty smoothly (though certainly not as good as my editing system in my office!)
I don't think I've got any further questions, but if I do I'll be sure to let you know.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If the hard drive does not appear in the DU sidebar list then it has died and will have to be replaced. No need to proceed beyond this point.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Footer missing when using Stripe. Has anyone experience the same when using Stripe, is there a way around it?

I'm trying to implement Stripe onto my website. But when I insert the HTML widget, my footer goes missing, or any graphics below the widget for that matter. So weird.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,

If your whole page suddenly looks weird in the browser after inserting custom HTML, the problem is usually that the HTML you've inserted isn't valid. You may be missing some close tags or something. You can use the HTML validator to check your page:

Has anyone experience the IPOD FROZEN in the middle of the song? I recently bought the Ipod 30GB Video. It functioned fine for the first couple of weeks (last approx 12-15 hours of uncharge played song). Then comes the frozen. I fully charged the Ipod and played for half of an hour or so and suddenly, It froze and I could not do anything with it. I tried to reset several times and the problem still persisted. I also tried to restore to the manufacturing setting but it was not a successful restore. It hang in the middle of process. I took the Ipod to the Apple Store and one of the guy at the Genius Bar looked at it and said "it might caused by your song" ... ***? Anyhow, it turned out that it was the Ipod problem ... so he said. I got the replacement one.
Well, brought the replacement home and I thought it was fine until today ... the Ipod froze AGAINNNN .... grzzzzzz ... WHAT's HAPPENING? This time even worst, I cannot even reset ... It display a small sliver of red color at the battery and even though I plugged it into the computet for an hour or so, it still not being able to charged. Well, I paid another visit to the Apple store. Murphy Law, it's not working at home but it worked at the store (although, one of the Genius Bar guy explain that the Ipod "somehow" got into the critical low battery and the the provided USB cable does not have sufficient power to boost the Ipod to its recovery mode.) In fact, this guy (Genius Bar Guy) had to plug the Ipod into the other connector (not the USB one ... I am not a fan of Apple therefore not knowing the exact term for this connector) from his laptop and waited for 10 minutes of so and voila ... I took it home an charge for a nother few hours or so before I can put all of my music back into the Ipod.
Sorry for the long story but has anyone experience this ... if so, how do you comes into the fix ... I am not convince that the problem will go away and the the "boosting" thing ... or I just come with an unlucky Ipod ....

Try removing your sim and insert it again and make sure that its clean as well as the sim tray. insert it seucrely locked in place. See if it works, quick fix. If not try to use a different sim or try your sim to a different h/s. For you to be able to isolate if its with your sim or iPhone. Tricky Tips!

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly. This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle. I am not sure what causes it. The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working". It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop).
Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

TS4069 Has anyone resolved the yahoo server unavailable on the iPad when trying to rest email account

Has anyone resolved the yahoo server unavailable issue with iPad

the issues are on Yahoo's end. They have been updating/upgrading their servers for the past few weeks, and when they are working on the server your mail is on, you will experience outages.
Usually all you can do is just wait it out or try a different way to access. For example I accessed my mail via safari when mine weren't working.

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

Has anyone experience this! - default browser helper 537

Hi,
I use Firefox as my default browser, since the firefox plug-in "default browser helper 537" was installed (in November) my mac has slow down, especially when browsing using both firefox and safari. I un-installed firefox a week ago and my pc has gone back to it original state. I installed Firefox again after two days from the previous un-install and the browsing slow down again. I then un-installed again. Has anyone experience this! IS there a issue with Firefox???

Has anyone installed the GIMP?

Has anyone installed the GIMP on their iBook? I have a couple questions because of the way their site is worded:
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/
In the requirements section are they just explaining why it doens't run on version 9 or earlier? It almost makes it sound like you have to go download that stuff (which is why I feel stupid for asking this). :-/
This site, http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ , which is the first site they list on the places to get GIMP, makes it sound like the application there is all you have to download, except for the extra install from the OS X Install Disk. Would that be all I needed?
I'd love to have this program on my iBook, so if anyone who has installed it could walk me through it, that'd be great.
Thanks,
Mandy

Hi Mandy,
I myself have not tried GIMP.app because I have lost the urge to use X11. In order to use it, you will to download X11 from your OS X disk and install X11; not to be confused with X11SDK. I bet you can find a bunch of GIMP and X11 users in Mac OS X Technologies > Unix forum.

Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

Short answer: I don't recommend it, but it's not "a scam" or malware, per se. If you use it, you may have some real performance issues.
Me: I was an actual MacKeeper user (paid version) for about two years. What follows is my experience and conclusions. I am not a paid reviewer, nor tech professional. I am an educator with about 15 years of experience using Macs. I am what most people would call a "prosumer," in that I know a good deal about my systerm, but am not a techie, anti-utility software zealot, etc. I have no affiliation with Zeobit (manufacturer of MacKeeper) nor any of its competitors.
I bought MacKeeper in 2011, and then upgraded last year. I used it to remove junk files and duplicates, and experimented with the anti-virus software. I didn't use most of the other features.
The problem: I am running a 2009 15" Macbook Pro 2.8GHZ Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 512GB HDD. Over the past year, it has been having major performance issues. Slowdowns, hangups, applications quitting and more were all becoming the norm. I deleted duplicate files and ran MacKeeper a few times a month. I also ran permissions repairs regularly (disk utility). I looked for the cause of the slowdowns everywhere, from too many user accounts being open, to resource hogs. I decided that MacKeeper's Anti-Virus software was just taking up too much RAM and CPU, so I disabled it. I continued experiencing slowdowns and started monitoring my available RAM with a freeware app called Memory Clean. It often reported that I had less than 500MB available, even with very light usage, application wise. After "cleaning" memory, I could get my available RAM to about 1.5GB, max. I struggled with these issues for a year or more, and was about ready to concede defeat and buy a new machine. I figured my MBP was over four years old, and perhaps running Mountain Lion and normal wear/tear were just too much.
This morning, I noticed that the biggest resource hog on my system was a process called "MacKeeper Helper." The process relaunches even when it is forced to quit. It was consuming over 100MB of RAM and up to 99 percent of my CPU at times! I also noticed a process called "anti-virus" that also could not be quit, and was consuming over 100MB of RAM itself. I started researching how to kill these processes, and was introduced the the Great Online MacKeeper Controversy. Here is what I learned:
Some in the Mac community have pure hatred for this product (and some hate all like it).
There were numerous user reports of it slowing down systems
Zeobit seemed to be guilty of questionable ethics, particularly in its advertising.
There was no way to stop MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus processes from running with deleting the entire application.
I wasn't the only one annoyed by MacKeeper's system pop-ups, trying to sell me something I already bought.
The software got good professional reviews, even from well-respected publications (e.g. MacWorld)
It is often confused with Mac Defender, which WAS malware. They two are not associated.
The Decision: After researching ways of fully uninstalling MacKeeper (and considering whether or not I should), I decided to try the uninstall instructions from the manufacturer. It said that it would remove ALL traces of the application. I also didn't want to get into too much Terminal work and manually deleting things, as some users suggested doing. I followed the process (close app, drag to trash, enter password, click "uninstall"). I then ran a permissions repair and restarted.
The Results: I have been MacKeeper-free for about an hour as I write this. Put simply, my problems appear to be completely solved. MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus are gone. Available RAM is now up to 2.75GB. I have experienced no slowdowns or app crashes. Even bootup appeared to be considerably faster. Launching iPhoto with thousands of images now takes a few seconds instead of minutes. Everything feels faster. It's like I have my Mac back! I was ready to admit defeat and dish out another $2500+ that I didn't have. I now think that won't be necessary!
What Should Yo Do? You'll find a lot of controversy out there between professional reviews, ethically dubious paid reviews, Zeobit's own defense through public statements, and Mac users themselves. Some users like it, and swear up and down they are real people. Others are extremely angry and hate the product with the passion of 1,000 burning suns. All I can do is tell you my experience and make the following statement:
The bottom line is that I would not install MacKeeper/buy MacKeeper on my Mac. After investigating my own system's problems (which made iit nearly unusable) and concluding that MacKeeper might be the issue, I uninstalled it. Magically, all my issues went away. So...I report, you decide. Best of luck.

Has anyone used the ATTO ExpressSAS R644 in a Mac Pro?

Any thoughts on your experience if so?
