Terminal Errors: What Do They Mean And Are They Affecting LimeWire?
Hello.
I am having a problem with LimeWire even starting up (after it bounces in the Dock, it stops as if it is suddenly quit. I'm guessing this is a crash). Normally, the Java dump/update works, but this time it did not. I deleted several plists due to errors a few weeks ago, but now I cannot run LimeWire at all. I go through the Java process here (1.4.2):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301380
I get these errors after the first part (after I enter in my master account password):
Loading classes to share ...
Preload failed: apple/awt/ContainerModel$PaintingLock
Preload failed: apple/awt/EventFactoryProxy$3
Preload failed: apple/awt/CocoaEvent
Preload failed: apple/awt/PeerPaintEvent
Preload failed: apple/awt/ContainerModel$SurfaceLock
Preload failed: apple/awt/CocoaEvent$1

Preload failed: apple/awt/NSGraphicsContextAPI
Preload failed: apple/awt/FlushEvent
Preload failed: apple/awt/CocoaEvent$2
Preload failed: apple/awt/FullscreenRaster
What does this mean? I think this may be why LimeWire is not running properly. Did this happen because I deleted so many plists or because I had to restart several times yesterday?
I have also repaird disk permissions as well, just not via safe mode.What do you mean when you say that you did a restart in safe mode? I have the same problem as you had with limewire.

Icons in finder bar; what do they mean and how to get rid of them
Hi I notice these icons in my finder bar. I'm confused; what are they there for and how to get rid of them?
Thanks for the help!One is a Flash movie project and the other two a PDF files - you usually have them in your Finder window bar because you've dragged them to that location. You can get rid of them by selecting the icon with the Command key held down and drag them to the Desktop - poof! - they'll disappear.

Why does my computer not recognise the latest update for iTunes that the iPad 4 said I need?
You still didn't provide full information. Look at http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html and you will see the number of iMacs that fit your description, all of which have widely varying capabilities.
So going on what I know:
1) Make sure your computer meets Snow Leopard technical specifications - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 This mostly means making sure it is an Intel Mac and has at least 1GB RAM (at least 2 GB is recommended). Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window to "About This Mac". Does it mention "PowerPC" (not Intel), or Intel? To check RAM continue to "More Info...". It should say you have at least 1GB of "memory".
2) Buy a Snow Leopard disc from Apple online
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - USA
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - UK
or telephone Apple. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but anticipate paying much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple
3) Backing up your computer before upgrading is always a good idea.
4) After installing from the DVD, update your Snow Leopard installation using Software Update or manually downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v.1.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
I have one of the first iMac 20inch with the bit built into the screen.
"Bit"? = big?
The truly first 20" iMacs will not upgrade to Snow Leopard which is required for iPad4 support. -
I was advised by Firefox to download and install an important software update. But the bar with green lines running across and saying 'connecting to the update server is going on indefinitely (about an hour now). Can you advise?
With Thanks,

You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

Events: what do they mean and how can I use them?
Hi everybody,
I'm new to this, so it's maybe a silly question. I can't understand what an event on iPhoto is and I don't know how to use it: for example I'm used to take photos with my mobile now and then so the pictures are not related to an event in particular like a birthday or a travel. They are just everyday pictures. So how can I manage them?
Again: I have some big folders of pictures related to some job experiences abroad. In that case the event is just "Germany job" for example? When I import the pictures iPhoto automatically create an event for each date of the folder, so it becomes boring to rename every single event.
Thank you very muchI'm new to this, so it's maybe a silly question. I can't understand what an event on iPhoto is and I don't know how to use it: for example I'm used to take photos with my mobile now and then so the pictures are not related to an event in particular like a birthday or a travel. They are just everyday pictures. So how can I manage them?
Don't get hung up on the Word 'Event'. I have Evetss called Spring 08, Autumn-Winter 05 and so on. An Event is just a Folder of pictures. They can mean whatever you want them to mean. When you import from a camera iPhoto will break the pics into Folders of Days, called Events.
Again: I have some big folders of pictures related to some job experiences abroad. In that case the event is just "Germany job" for example? When I import the pictures iPhoto automatically create an event for each date of the folder, so it becomes boring to rename every single event
iPhoto -> Preferences -> Events: Uncheck the box at "Imported Items from the Finder"
Now iPhoto will not attempt to split the Folders of Images.

Firefox is trying to download a software update but it's been over an hour and it still says "connecting to the update server". It doesn't seem to be working. What's the problem? I have a Mac Mini.
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

10.6.8 in software updates but not installing
I am having issues with installing software updates for my iMac. I had to manually download and install the 10.6.7 update (I chose the combo) from the apple site. It shows that the update is downloaded in my software updates but it will not install before or after restart. I was successul at installing the 10.6.7 combo, but now I am having the same issue with 10.6.8. I did download the update combo from the apple website, but when I try to install, I get an error stating "The installation failed. The installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install." I am a newer (1-2 years) mac user so I'm having issues finding solutions.
Thanks in advance.appologize in advance if I have posted this in the wrong place ... I am a newbie

To use iCloud, you must first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

downloaded Appleworks 6.2.9 for Mac Updater-2.sim but when i try to open the file i receive the message "legacy image should be updated". what does this mean and/or entail?
Mavericks is not recognizing the .smi extension - on my Mac it thinks it's a RealPlayer document. You are not going to be able to do anything with this - it requires AppleWorks to be present to be updated, and you can't run AppleWorks on Mavericks (other than by the rather roundabout process of installing Snow Leopard Server in Parallels and installing AppleWorks on that, as described here).

I downloaded a software update on my iPhone. Now it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I don't have my computer with iTunes to connect to and won't be able to for a few days. What can I do to use my phone now?
Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done. -

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing.
