How do you run a diagnostics on my iMac

How do I run A diagnostic on my imac?  Some of my programs keep unexpecticly quitting. And I have one that i have to repair every time I open.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

    How do you run apps on creative cloud? I can't seem to run them or see them on my desktop

    Hi JasonLuong,
    You will have to go to www.creative.adobe.com and login with your Adobe Id on which you have purchased the subscription.
    You can go to the download center and then start downloading all the cc apps available. It will first download and install the Creative cloud desktop tool in your computer. This creative cloud desktop will show you the option to download all the CC programs, the updates, etc.
    Thanks

  • How do you run a full virus scan

    How do you run a full virus scan on the Imac

    Take a look at this article:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing
    Running a virus scan would not help at all - someone got your email address and is now hoping you're dumb enough to use the links they provided and give them information so they can use your credit card or checking acount number, password, etc.
    I would change my user name and password immediately (if not sooner!!) - make it difficult to guess. Do it at least with the bank involved; however, to be safe, it wouldn't hurt doing it with others as well.

  • HT5246 How do you run the Flashback malware removal tool?

    How do you run the Flashback malware removal tool?
    Thanks

    I am away from my computer and it is somewhat awkward to reply on an iPad.
    > I had already done what softwater instructed. I've read that it deletes itself on other threads, but it's still in my Finder as a Device. That's what confused me, because it doesn't appear to have deleted itself.
    Sorry, I wasn't clear. That is not the tool. It is the .dmg image mounted to your desktop. Next to the name you will see a small eject icon. Click on it or highlight it and choose "Eject" from the appropriate Finder menu. Once that happens you can drag the .dmg file to the trash as it will not delete itself.
    > I only recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and then Lion, in quick succession. My understanding is that there were (are) variants that would have infected my computer prior to my upgrading my OS to Lion. Before the upgrade, they were Adobe, but afterward they were Java. Could it be that be that the pop-ups were/are some other variant?
    Difficult to say for certain. Apple says it deletes all the common variants but does not specify which and I haven't seen the results of any testing done to verify that it finds and deletes those. The only dialogs that appeared with the initial variants were for FlashPlayer. They are depicted in the descriptions for Flashback-A on F-Secures site if you want to take a look. There have been none that I am aware of for Java, so that is probably either a web page or application that needs Java to run giving you that alert.
    > If the Flashback malware removal tool didn't find anything and my Software Update is current, does that mean the vulnerability has been fixed? At least for now? I understand that I Software Update will prompt downloads in the future if and when it needs to be patched again.
    The vulnerability is in Java, nowhere else, so if you don't have it installed there was nothing to fix.
    If you download Java in the future it will be the latest version Apple has available at the time, which hopefully will not be subject to exploitation, yet...

  • How do i run windows 8 on my imac

    how do i run windows 8 on my imac ?
    I have several engineering programs which have bee written for windows
    I have heard that boot camp does the job. Does anyone have first hand experience?

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How do I run Extended Apple Hardware Test imac 21.5 mid-2010 mavericks

    How do I run Extended Apple Hardware Test imac 21.5 mid-2010 mavericks?  I have tried to start my computer holding down the "D" key but my iMac simply just restarts as normal.
    I have checked the list of iMacs that can be upgraded to do an internet Extended Apple Hardware Test and I do not have one of those computers.
    I cannot find any solution as yet.
    I do not have the start up disks or the usb disks.

    You can't run the hardware test without the installation discs.
    Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity

  • How do you setup GNU/Linux on an iMac G4 with Panther OS X 10.3.9 ?...

    How do you setup GNU/Linux on an iMac apple computer
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G4
    with Panther OS X 10.3.9
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSX10.3 ?...

    There is a Ubuntu 10.4 version for Mac with PPC architecture; not sure
    how that would work in the computer you may consider running it in.
    Some leads on that kind of discussion can be found by using a Google
    search, and the words: *ubuntu for PPC G4 Mac* + read through results.
    Or choose to search using these terms: *Open Source Linux PPC G4 Mac*
    A few results point back to Apple Discussions, where there were inquiries.
    Note the version of a Linux-type of OS, compatible with Mac PPC hardware,
    on the following page-link: *• Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx)*
    http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/
    {You would have to put the image, as downloaded from such a site, on a CD
    for use as an Installer; then follow any instructions as available to install it.}
    An old page (from 2007?) with some details, some not up-to-date,
    may be of help to a limited degree, from here: Ubuntu PPC wiki
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Is%20Ubuntu%20supported%20on%20PowerPC?
    Or: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
    See their home page to look for other information on the site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
    These wiki groups are like communities, with rules & other such considerations; you
    may be able to also find +Open Source+ sites with information and builds of suitable
    Linux versions capable of running well in an older PPC Mac. There are newer ones
    that would have no problem on a newer Intel-based Mac, of course.
    • Mac Linux Links: (perhaps too dated)
    http://lowendmac.com/linux/index.shtml
    • Comparison of Linux distributions:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_Linuxdistributions
    Hardware support in the older PPC G4 Mac computer should be considered, in order
    to have the better experience possible with the Linux-based OS; and some specs in
    an old Mac may not be ideal. The graphics processor unit and amount of dedicated
    RAM for the graphics alone, could make a difference; depending on what you had in
    mind when running a Linux-based OS in a PPC Mac. So consider hardware specs.
    Some hardware in the computer may or may not be supported by the Software; and
    then, there may be some problems implementing a Linux OS version in your Mac.
    If you had an old Mac Mini (PPC or early Intel) & considered running Linux, there's
    a page of general ideas worth a peek: http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/
    You may not have enough room on the existing internal hard disk drive inside the
    iMac G4, for a complete OS X 10.3.9 or Later OS X, and a partition for Linux in it.
    And, you may find through reading further, if you need to (or don't) start fresh and
    have a partition for each different OS, or not. For organizational purposes and ease
    of removing one system or the other, a partitioned hard disk drive may be best.
    There probably is a way to have Linux on an external bootable hard disk drive; &
    that would have to be compatible with the Mac hardware requirements to be seen
    and used by the computer, and also the ability to restart from Linux into Mac OS X
    would have to exist in the system software. Hopefully without incident.
    You will have some degree of a learning curve in this matter, from reading up on
    the details of any viable Linux versions, through the ones likely to work in your
    old PPC G4 Mac, and then if there are more than two or three good ones, of those
    what one would be most likely to be worth the additional effort to attempt to use in it.
    Depending on the version and specifications of your iMac G4 computer, there could
    be different versions of linux systems capable of running it. However, some items
    may not be supported which you would need to have working, such as wi-fi internet
    and sleep mode, etc; among others. Searching the net does bring up more info.
    {You may find, that going to OS X 10.4.11 would be more worth the effort, in that
    most everything would 'just work' and you can still find many good software bits
    and some fine freeware or low cost shareware to run on it. Linux versions vary
    so much on what they can and cannot do, I would not recommend running it.}
    Since I am not an expert in the matter, hopefully someone with a experimental time
    and results in a similar vintage Mac as yours will reply and give you insightful info.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do you xfer info from ipad2 to iMac?  Is there a specific icon in iTunes for this?

    How do you xfer info from ipad2 to imac? Is there an icon on itunes to do this?

    What info do you want to transfer and from which app(s) ? If it's contents/files of apps then for some it'll be via the File Sharing section at the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, other apps may have wifi functionality so you can transfer files to/from your computer via your wifi network.

    Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

    how do you cut and paste on an imac

    If you're talking about cut and paste as you would do with files and folder on a Windows box you do it in a round about way.
    Either Copy ⌘C, (Yes copy not cut), and then move, ⌘⌥V (a variation on paste ⌘V).
    If you're a mouser.
    Right click the File and choose Copy from.....
    The right click the folder you want to move it to but hold down the option key and Paste item.....

    How do you adjust the bass in the iMac 27" (late 2012)?
    I am watching Youtube and the bass is very distrubing. Isn't there a way to adjust this on an iMac OSX?

    AFAIK, you can't with the internal speakers. Contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane, and see what they say.
