How do I recover my mac from being so slow?

My mac is running slower and slower, in all kinds of programs. I don't know where to start searching. How do I go about to find the cause of this? Is there a protocol or any programs to run?
Thanks for feedback.

How to remove photoshop elements 3 from being the default program to open photos

how to remove photoshop elements 3 from being the default program to open photos in iMac 10.6.8; want to use Preview 5.0.3 as before. Somehow I clicked an "ok" to a question asking if I wanted photoshop e 3 to be the default program (NOOOO - too slow, too cumbersome just for viewing pix) What was I thinking????

This might help just found googling http://www.bittbox.com/os-x/how-to-set-the-default-program-to-open-a-certain-type-of-file- in-mac-os-x
Try once please.
Thanks,

How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!

How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!
I have tried many online programs but nothing seems to recover the last 60 photos i accidentally deleted.

i have i cloud but because my phone memory had been so full lately i believe it wasnt being backed up?
the last back up noted on my phone is 9 nov 2013 - i deleted the photos just on monday - does this mean i can still recover them somehow?
they were never imported to a comp but yes the pics were saved on my photo stream buti acutally first deleted off photo stream. what i did was create a folder within my albums then added the 60 photos to the album, then deleted 1 off photo stream to test and it didnt delete from my new folder, then deleted all off photo stream and then i thought i could delete off camera roll, then did that and realised it also deleted off my new folder created - so was left with nothing!
if you know anyway pls help?

How do I keep my Imessages from being viewed on other devices under my apple ID?

No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

While I have a few ideas, I think you'd have better luck troubleshooting this in the iCloud forum.

An account that old is not likely to be accessible, but try http://iforgot.apple.com and see if you can get to it. If you know the Apple ID for the account you can also see if you will get anywhere with http://appleid.apple.com

Change the password for your AppleID you used to set up iMessaging, and do not tell them the password. Tell them to get their own AppleIDs for use with their own iMessage accounts.

How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

Internal or external hard drive? Was the drive still working before you replaced it?

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

Thanks Andy,
I wish I could have told my sister about this as she could not open my homepage back before my new iWeb site. She now can open my site without the yet in case denial window does appear = I thank you.
I think my iWeb site works as Noone has said otherwise from any platform etc...

I do agree that should not have to be a consideration for any users so i agree that it would be great if Apple could allow simplicity to run seemlessly.
I have had this problem since Homepage, and here is
what has worked for me. I send out the link, and
then for PC users I send the link with "<" after the address (without quotation
marks. e.g., <http://site.com>).
I also put a note that if that doesn't work, to just
copy and paste the link into a browser. With that I
have only had 1 person say they still can't open.
Everyone else gets it to work.
It's a lot to do and seems like a hassle, but you get
used to it.
Hope this helps!
Andy Martini
PS - APPLE! When are you going to fix this??! It
seems like such a small thing yet you guys have been
stumped for YEARS on this!
