HT3773 Why does my iMac that is loaded with Lion when in System Preferences also list (32-bit) along with the Preference Title?

I read up on the info offered here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3773?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US and used the Terminal Sudo:
sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64 System Profile lists Software overview as 64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes so I am not sure why the
Preference (32-bit) list info is still there?
What am I missing?

Why does Firefox 6 struggle and stutter with the new 4Od?

Why does Firefox 6 struggle with the new 4Od?
OK, so here’s my question. I have been using Firefox for years; it’s a wonderful piece of software and an excellent browser. Recently I’ve been having problems with plugin-container.exe. The general advice has been to make sure that Flash Player is up to date (10.3.183.7) and that Firefox is up to date (6.0.1). I still have problems, particularly on YouTube and the new 4Od site, so much so that I used about:config to disable “dom.ipc.plugins.enabled”, I set the value to false. Plugin-container.exe was, prior to this, hogging all the CPU it could get its grubby little mits on, this no longer happens but whilst watching 4Od Firefox eats my entire CPU and the rendered video stream is filled with stutter, almost like frame dropping. It’s fun to watch Firefox struggle, but its no fun trying to watch a program. In desperation I downloaded and installed Chrome. Watching 4Od my CPU usage dropped from 98-100% down to 82%. I don’t particularly want to use Chrome but I do increasingly use my browser to watch streaming video content. Incidentally, if I use Firefox to watch the BBC Iplayer I only burn 35% CPU using Firefox. Oh, and I’m XPSP3, up to date.
How do I solve this stuttering problem?
Is this a codec issue with-in Flash Player?
Does 4Od use some sort of unsupported codec?
I can’t be the only one out on this limb and I know the problem solvers like a good challenge. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

You can use Themes or Personas to change the display of Firefox browser.

Why wont my imac 27'' not work with the Belkin AV360?

Recently bought a Imac 27'' a couple of months ago. Thought I would buy a Belkin AV360 converter to play my PS3 and XBOX through onto my Imac. Plugged it all in and it doesnt work. apparently you have to press Commmand and F2 at the same time to turn the screen onto the ps3 but that doesnt work. Does this belking ocnverter only work with older models of the Imac?

at some point forget when
apple removed support for some firewire things in their pin30 connector which caused some older
accessories to stop working sounds like that could be what you're expeierncing

Why does my iMac crash after installing ios lion?

I bought my iMac 21 in 2010 and it crashes due to the lion softeware. It's not a Kernal Panic crash but after I leave it on for awhile the wireless keyboard and mouse are frozen, I can't even wake it up after hitting the space bar. Is there a setting in Lion that turns off the bluetooth after awhile? How can I fix it?

I would reinstall Lion, preferably from scratch if possible.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer and Without Erasing the Drive

In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Why does my imac camera not work with maverick operating system

Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

When on internet my iMac keeps going to gray screen with message reading 'You are not connected to the internet'. My wireless connection is fine for my other devices, why does my iMac keep losing connection with network?

I have read other post about this and one of them said to uncheck "enable auto channel scan" in my router settings and chang from chanel 6 to 5. I was able to change the channel to 5 but i can't find anywhere on their page where it has the option to uncheck "enable auto channel scan". I have a Netgear router WGT624 v3. Can anyone recomend anything?

I've had this problem for months and finally called Apple support and paid the one time support fee to get a solution. I purchased a 21.5" iMac in the summer of 2011 and am currently running OS X 10.7.3. After confirming all my wifi settings were correct (already suspected this, since every other wireless device in the house works great), the Apple support tech recommended changing channels on my router from "Enable Auto Channel Scan" to one channel out of the 11 available. I currently have a D-Link DIR-655 router, but the tech said the same structure exists on all wireless routers. In other words, my situation would not improve if I bought an Apple router (Airport Extreme, Time Capsule, etc). I logged into my router (here are common IP addresses for routers... http://compnetworking.about.com/od/workingwithipaddresses/f/getrouteripaddr.htm , and made the channel preference change (in my case, unchecked "enable auto channel scan" and changed from channel 6 to channel 5). It's been a few days since applying this change and so far, I haven't lost my connectivity. Even though I live in a residential subdivision (not an apartment / condo), my iMac is detecting up to 21 other local networks and this was causing interference (some of my neighbors using the same channel). Sure enough, when I check the channels of nearby networks, I find many are using channel 6 and no one is using channel 5. To find out what nearby network channels are being used, go to Apple icon in top left, "about this Mac", "more info", "system report", under network choose "wifi", scroll down and see other wifi network info. Changing the router channel from auto enable to a specific channel has improved both my internet connectivity and speed (not sharing same channel with neighbors). Hope this helps!

Why does my iMac now ask for a password when trying to create a folder in Finder?

Hi guys
My iMac has started to ask me for my login password when I try and create a new folder using Finder. I concert folders on the desktop and drag to the correct location in Finder and I can also create folders in the tree view of Adobe Bridge both without having to enter a password. Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Click on the Reset button.

Why does my Macbook Pro keep freezing with the spinning beach ball?

Hi,
This issue started yesterday. Every minute or so or less, my Mac will freeze up and I cant do anything, and then the beach ball will pop up for 5-60 seconds before going away, my machine unfreezes, and it happens again pretty quickly.

Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball

Get warning on Imac that another computer with the same IP-adress is active in my network ??

i do have an Imac, MacBook Pro, apple tv, Ipad and 2 Iphones just in my private house
Next neighbor is 200 meters away. Please advice me !?

It is one of your other devices that are connecting through your Router. Your Router is only using a single IP address.
Your Router is using 192.168.1.1 However the very last two numbers can and will vary from the .1.1 this is nothing to be concerned about. If all of your stuff is working then there is no reason for concern.

Why does my MacBook Pro 13 freeze with the samsung p2770 monitor?

My MacBook Pro 13 (late 2010) works fine, but when I use the Samsung P2770 external monitor through the DVI port is will suddenly freeze. The display goes black, the keyboard lights up, and only a hard reset will bring it back. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Try unplugging your charger from your MacBook. Weird bug but that fixed it for me... Kinda stupid though.

I REALLY hate the page up/page down functions that automatically loaded with the program. I LIKE to use my page up/page down keys for web browsing. How can I get these keys to work properly, or any of the keys to work "normally" as I have in the past?

When using certain keys on my keyboard, they don't work like they are "intended" to be used. I HATE how Firefox has changed those functions without my request. How can I get my keyboard to function as it "should"?
Thank you.

I just recently upgraded to Mavericks. Why does it take awhile to load messages in mail after I click to open them?

I just recently upgraded to Mavericks. Why does it take awhile to load messages after I click to open them?

I should have put more info with my question. Anyway, I regularly use Seamonkey with its built-in mail client because it works so well. I also can use the Yahoo site's mail feature and the mail also goes out instantly once I click on the send button. Only Mail takes up to 32 seconds to send out a mail. I watch the spinning wheel churn until the whoosh sound comes. Not acceptable, that is why I use Seamonkey. Another iMac in the house shows the same low level of performance sending out the mail from that computer, and that computer uses the ultra-fast Comcast internet while my computer uses the AT&T land line. I tried changing some of the settings, like changing the port numbers to no avail. I returned to the recommended AT&T port setting. Since I have never been able to get Mail to work the way I want it, I switched to Seamonkey, but have always been curious as to why it wants to take so long. I like Safari as the browser a little better, but will use Seamonkey because it has it all and works the way it should. Unless a cure for that elongated wait with the outgoing mail is found, I will have to stay with Seamonkey.
