Hello Mac users and amazing helpers:) I have a Disk Activity problem!
Hello, I need some assistance; I have the same problem as the following link:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/248361?start=0&tstart=0
so my activity monitor shows that the cpu is fine the graph is ok but when i switch to Disk Activity the graph is too high on the red color but the reading and writing process is almost 0 bytes/sec. It's odd, i have things running on the activity monitor, but it's not all that huge. Otherwise it would also cause the cpu to react. I've got 8gb ram. I don't understand the problem...
I read when researching this problem in the following link above that rebuilding my database can be the answer to this problem but the thing is can someone tell me HOW can I rebuild my database step by step on my macbook pro mountain lion. Would it affect (delete things) on my mac? What can I quit on activity monitor that is not important? or better way of asking this question is what shall I not quit on activity monitor? please help answer every question.
Another problem that I have, is my macbook pro doesn't sleep when I close the lid, I've reset the SMC and it didn't help. I have replaced my orginal screen glass with another one because the original broke but the lid was working fine. It went to sleep whenever i closed it. I heard it could be from some program or software i installed i can't figure which specific programme or software it is, because as i mentioned above i dont know what can I quit and what shouldn't I quit. Please help This would be so great please help thanks a lot Support community, you're wonderful with offering help Thank you.
my problem statement is that my activity monitor when I switch to Disk Activity the graph is too high on the red color but the reading and writingprocess is almost 0 bytes/sec. may I ask you why is that? why does the ram usage increase? even though I don't run that may applications,but many processes. Here are some screen shots. Please tell me what can I quit thanks
yes my mac does sleep when i do it your way. I have stong hope that it's an application which makes it like this some people had this issue from a programme called litlle snitch I deleted it but it wasnt little snitch it could be something else please help i believe the lid can be fixed and it shouldn't be a big deal there should be a life hack for it

i just have downloaded Firefox.4 and unfortunately the "Back "Button and the "next" button are missing in my toolbar and i can't see them when clicking on "customize toolbar"
i also have bookmarks on my toolbar that disappeared!
In the Previous version of firefox ,i had many bookmarks on my toolbar but couldn't see them all,i had to make a right click to see the ones that were not in my toolbar,this function disappeared which is a little annoying
Would you mind helping me please?
CordiallyClick on the Desktop or open a Finder window. Select Preferences from the Finder menu. Click on the General icon in the toolbar, then check the items you wish displayed on the Desktop. Similarly click on the Sidebar icon to configure what appears in the sidebar.
These preferences can be all different for each user. When you create a new user your pre-sets are not duplicated in the new account. -
Hello guys..does anybody know how to install and use adobe master collection with the new lion?
I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!Lab79 wrote:
Are you on Apple's payroll?
well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

i am a new mac user and tried to update my firefox but now i have multiple foxes and a half fox fix something? how do i get it all together in one and be sure i have current version on only?
Hi there
I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
Good luck -
I am a new Mac user and I bought Pages and have no Idea where it is or how to use it?
I am a new Mac user and I bought the Pages APP and have no Idea where it is or how to use it? If I go into Iwork and click Pages it shows 3 documents that I have creates. THe only option I have is to download it. Then If I click it it opend in an app called Preview.
It is in me apps folder in Itunes. I expected it to be an app in my computer.Pages for IOS and Pages for OSX are 2 different programs, buying one doesn't get you the other, go to the App Store (not iTunes) on your Mac and buy it.

Hi, I'm a new Mac user and I want 10.8.2 but i can't get that unless I have i have 10.8.1 and I cant get that unless I have 10.8. Now I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a link that would allow me to download this version?
Again, that's not a problem - if you purchase Mountain Lion through the App Store, it's been updated to 10.8.2 - and when there are other updates available, you can just download and install them as well.
Just go to the App Store and purchase and install ML. Then run Software Update (Apple menu) to see if there are any updates available for your machine. I keep my System Preferences>Software Update prefs set to check automatically -
Some people would rather check manually. No big deal, just buy it and install it.

I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?
It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

I'm a new MAC user and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes music files to my Mac, however when I attach the external drive that contains the music files, the music files aren't visible on the MAC (but they are visible on my old PC). How do I get my music transferred? I have already exported the purchased music from the iTunes library, but I have thousands of songs from my private CD collection that I had previously loaded through iTunes.

Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player. Does anyone know how to get around this? I don't know how to wipe the hard drive, and the support online doesn't seem to work.
As posted previously:
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.
2. 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.
If installing Leopard the process is similar in some respects. If you wish to begin anew then after selecting the target disk click on the Options button and select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button. To install over an existing system do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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. Now restart normally.
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.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -

i want to buy a iPad2 to go along with my mac desktop and iPhone, do I have to repurchase the same apps. to put on my iPad?
You can use most of the apps that you bought for your iPhone on the iPad as well. Sometimes the apps are not optimized for the iPad's larger display. Sometimes the apps are limited to the iPhone and you must purchase a separate iPad version. As with your iPhone, Mac apps cannot be used on an iOS device.
