How is Lion's performance with the baseline 13" MBA (Late 2010) 2GB RAM? I know it works fine with the baseline 11" 2GB model, but because that's a smaller machine, perhaps the 2GB limit is not so detrimental to performance. MBA 13" 1.86, 2GB/2010
How does the baseline 13" mba (late 2010, 1.86 ghz, 2GB RAM/128GB) work with OSX LIon? I know the baseline 11" is fine, but does the larger form factor of the MBA 13" require more RAM to be speedy under Lion? I wouldn't think so, but please advise. Please answer this question ONLY with refrence to the specs listed (13" MBA (late 2010, 1.86 ghz, 2GB RAM, 128gb). Thanks much!
Overy time, every PC/Mac gets unavoidably bloated with junk like unnecessary files/downloads/apps or left-over files of video-streams/uninstalled apps/caches/... which slow down the overall system. That's why PC/Mac should be formatted (=deleting everything even including the operating system) once in a while to reinstall the operating system (here: Lion) from scratch -hence "clean install". To format a Mac is pretty easy, but all of your files (e.g. images, documents,...) should be saved on external harddrives/CDs/DVDs/Flash-drives... because they are going to be deleted during the formatting.
I'm NOT going to describe you how to format, because it might not be necessary for you.
But what you NEED to do anyway is (if you want Lion):
(( 0. Eventually, but not necessarily: Make a TimeMachine-BackUp to be able to return to Snow Leopard))
1. Download Lion, BUT DON'T install it (cancel the install-process).
2. Follow the instructions on this site:
http://lifehacker.com/5823096/how-to-burn-your-own-lion-install-dvd-or-flash-dri ve
This will give you a legal copy of Lion on a DVD or Flash-Drive, which btw allows you to install it on all of your mac at home. Why do you need copy of Lion? If you encounter problems with lion after a "normal install"(=NOT formatting and NOT clean installing the operating system), you still have the option to make a clean install. A clean install can't be done without the copy of Lion on a DVD or Flash-Drive.

Time Machine worked fine w. new HD for 16 backups, but started giving this mssg: [TIME MACHINE COULDN'T COMPLETE THE BACKUP TO "TOSHIBA EXT" ...An error occurred while creating the backup folder]
Make sure your hard drive is formatted properly for the operating system installed. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine what it is. You posted to the 10.5 forum, but your signature says you have 10.9. Here is the tip on what formatting supports what operating systems:

When I sync recently bought albums to my iPhone I get duplicated tracks. How can I resolve this. The duplicated tracks do not appear in my itunes library, just on my iPhone.
It seems to happen with songs that were purchased before synchronizing the new iPhone
I will tell you how I fixed it.
Note: I have iTunes in spanish so I will try to translate and figure out the commands that appear on ITunes in english. I will put my translations into brackets. English is not my native language. I will do my best.
The workaround is:
1.- Dragg no working songs from iTunes to a folder on the hard disk. (Only for backup purposes)
2.- Deleted those songs from iTunes library.
3.- On the left panel in ITunes click on "Purchased" under the STORE option. All your purchased songs will appear on the right panel
4.- At the bottom and right there is the option : "Download Previous Purchases". Click there.
5.- Click on the option "Are not in my Library" (top right)
6.- The songs you deleted from iTunes will appear.
7.- Downloaded them again. (You have the option to download at the bottom right)
8.- Syncronize your iPhone and that's all. -
I had music on my i tunes that I deleted. When I sync my iphone the music that was deleted shows up. How do I get rid of the music I do not want on my iphone?
Connect your I-phone to i-tunes , click on music . Not the one in the library but the music that opened up when you connected to i-tunes . Highlight the complete album or songs you want deleted, then right click and delete. Once you deleted the songs off you i-phone, then click the music from the library of your i-tunes. If that same music or album is also in there then repeat what you did in the i-phone to delete . This should take it all out.
good luck -

Adobe Connect: how to display a picture in the WebCam pod when not sharing video
The WebCam pod can pause a live video showing a static image. However, I believe that you are looking to use a Share pod, where you can upload a JPG or PNG image. Just place the share pod with the image where you would have the Camera pod.

i tried downloading an album - my itunes locked up, in purchases on itunes online it says it downloaded - how do i re-download to the same computer - can not find an option to do that?
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Hello. I recently pieced together a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15". Everything works fine except the battery constantly goes between "not charging" and "calculating" or, rarely "charging". It does charge after a long while and will report that it is charged.
I have reset the NVRAM and the SMC a couple of time but that didn't work so I ran an Apple Hardware Test and while testing the logic board it gives the following error:
4SNS/1/40000000 LB1T
I've done some research and found this is a temperature sensor related to the battery, but cannot find where the sensor is located in the computer. Would you know how I can find the sensor to test it? Could my battery problem be related to something else? Would a fresh install of Lion help?
Thank you!
Mike
Two pieces of information that may or may not b helpful, the hard drive is from my early 2008 MBP and the only test disc I have access to is from an iMac.Why do you have LION installed on that older machine?
So you say you built a macbook from a bucket of parts eh? Kudos

How do I get my Macbook Pro and iphone 5 to sync calendars in 2014? It worked fine in 2013, but the 2014 dates are blank on my Macbook. The all icloud is checked on my phone and the enable icloud account and push are selected on the Macbook.
ThanksDo the events from your iPhone calendar appear on icloud.com? If not, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) and make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if appears on icloud.com and your Mac now.
