How do I restore "Restart" and uninterrupted program processing on my 3.6 GHz Intel Core i5, running Mac OS 10.6.8?
Restart gets hung up on a blank screen with a little circle of black spokes that sequentially fade and recover in a spinning wheel effect.
Computer turns off after power button is depressed for a few seconds. Computer turns on with a short press of the power button. While off, all wires and power cord have been unplugged, to no apparent subsequent effect, compared to leaving them connected. Programs, especially iMovie, get increasingly interrupted, with a spinning color ball appearing during longer interruptions. Although Restart shuts down all programs, it won't stop and start the Computer. After manually stopping and starting the computer, programs run uninterrupted for a couple hours before interruptions begin again.
Try this repair your hard drive with disk utility, also repair your permissions. If you are still having problems check your CPU and RAM usage with activity monitor.

How do I connect a Apple VGA Display Adapter to my iMac 2 GHz Intel Core Du
I can connect the PC VGA side of the adapter to my external flatscreen monitor though for some reason can't attach the mini-DVI to the back of my iMac. The connection just doesn't fit which is odd since they both carry the same logo. I looked online to see if I needed a special cable to connect the adapter to the back of my iMac with no such luck. What do I do?
I understand your caution, but the symbol next to your Intel-based iMac's mini-DVI port designates the port as a display connection, while not specifying the exact type of display connection.
I can confirm that the same symbol that you see next to your Intel-based iMac's mini-DVI port is also seen next to mini-VGA ports on iMac G5 models as well as on iBook G4's.
The mini-DVI video display connector that you need is a 32-pin rectangular connector, while the mini-VGA connector that you have is a 14-pin rectangular connector. Looking inside each, it's possible to count the pins. If there were accurate external photos not too small, you could tell there's a difference between the two adapters by comparing the shape of the mini ends. Without side by side display, however, they are apparently easily confused, as an Apple Store employee once sold me the wrong one for my iBook.
The M9320G/A adapter you need won't connect to the M8639G/A adapter you have, but is to be used instead of it, as it will connect to the Mini-DVI port of your Intel-based iMac (as well as the MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4). The Intel-based iMacs don't have a mini-VGA port.
Matching your proposed connection, the July 11 Apple Store review by "MV" of the M9320G/A adapter said: "mini-DVI into the back of my Imac, plugged the VGA into a VGA cord...".
Your M8639G/A adapter connects only to the mini-VGA port on the eMac, iMac G5, 12-inch PowerBook G4, or iBook, but will not connect to any Intel-based iMac port.

How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?
In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed. This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager. To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab. On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request. If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136See How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

Hi
Hi I just got my new Apple TV and I cant figure out how to connect it with My MacBook Air (11-inch, Late 2010- Processor 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) OSX Version 10.8Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi. -
I have a mid 2007 iMac. 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OSX 10.9.5. I attempted to do the latest update and got the message: Start up disk is full. Delete files. How do I do that?
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Get an external hard drive on which to store some of your files after which you can
erase the data from your internal drive to free up space.
5. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
6. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
7. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located. -
I have a 15" MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (Early 2008) running OSX Lion 10.7.5.
I want to erase the Hard Drive, install Mountain Lion, and manually restore select applications and files.
Is there a known procedure to do this? Any tips or feedback?1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When its download finishes, close the installer and open Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable USB drive with Mountain Lion.
2. Press Option key while your Mac is starting, select the external drive and open Disk Utility.
3. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
4. Close the window and install Mountain Lion -
HT1338 i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6
i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6 pls help me
ok but i have mac os x.
I'll explain the numbering system for you.
With the operating systems numbering format it works as this: for example with 10.5.8, the first number is redundant because they are all 10 since 2001. This is the X in OS X
The second number is the upgrade version, which have cat names attached to them. 10.5 is Leopard. Each of these upgrade names must be purchased. If you want 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you need to buy it,
The last number is the update version, which is free, but requires the upgrade before you can install it.
So, you currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and you ask how to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I have given you the link of how buy it.
so do i must change mac os x (10.5) to snow-leopard.
The choice is yours. You do not have to upgrade if you do not wish to. -
I have mac book OS X 10.4.11 model No.A1181 (processor 2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo and memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM). To which newer version can I update and how?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and then, you should be able to use OS X Lion.
First, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup of your data, insert the Snow Leopard disc and upgrade to Snow Leopard.
The disc will install Mac OS X 10.6.3, so open > Software Update to install 10.6.8, the most recent Snow Leopard version.
See if your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If you see that it's compatible, call Apple to buy OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Also, check if your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com -

Thanx for any help!Hello,
if you need to sync your media files as well, you might want to have a look at FoneSync for Android. It features an iTunes like interface and syncs contacts, calendars, music and photos.
Kind regards
