I am a new user of Mac after many years of Windows my question is What am I doing wrong:
I am busy working when the rainbow wheel comes up as would the spinning mouse on windows, I then have to wait for the rainbow to disappear ie the program to catch up before I can continue. It is brand new machine and shouldnt yet be bogged down.
I have to say at this point in time I am not sure that I have made the right move.
I have installed Mac Office as that is what I have used for many years, so firstly I thought there was a confliction with mail and Outlook as window users know that has been an issue with windows in the passed so I have uninstalled Outlook so as not to duplicate. I have cleaned the calender and contact with downloaded Mac Apps. I am now at a loss what to do next because this isnt a spedy machine. Its a 2.9 HGz Quad core i5 so no light weight my old Dell is a Quad and still has enough speed to keep up with me and is 4 years old. So y only thought left there must be another confliction. Please advise as I am not completly in the know as I would have been with the Windows
As to any conflict between 2 different program that do the same thing and are installed on the same computer at the same time there simply isn't any unless both programs are running at the same time and trying to access the same file at the same time. That is except for AV software that runs all the time.
So having MS Office Outlook installed and Mac "Mac Mail" there shouldn't be any conflict at all. Even if you were to run them at the same time. They are both just Mail and contact programs, in the case of Outlook. They would both just go out to your Email account servers and download the available mail on those servers. One doesn't interact with the other. They just interact with your email account servers, which may cause a conflict on the server but not on the computer.
On my Windows computers I have 2 CAD programs installed, Autocad and Visual Cadd, and run them both at the same time. No conflicts between them as long as I have different CAD drawings open in each. If I try to open the same drawing in each program the program will popup a warning that the files is in use by another program and it willl be opened for Viewing Only or not opened it at all.

After I make a trailer or movie on my Iphone 4S using IMovie and try to save it to the camera roll, I get the message "An error occurred during export." The message appears after the piece has seemingly finished exporting. What am I doing wrong????
I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever. -

I'm having trouble logging into facetime. We do not have a new account. I've changed the password and still cannot get in. The message that pops up is "the server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." I want to talk to my granddaughter but can't. Can someone help me. Thanks
I had to same problem. I found forums about adding the DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in System Preferences - Networks I did that and it still didnt work. Just found another forum saying to go into System Preferences - Time and Date and check the Set time and Date automatically. And it worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro and am a very new user to Mac community only started to use this PC a few weeks ago.
My Mac is just hanging and I am unable to shut it down or do anything at all. I left it for 2.5 days hoping the battery will run flat but it is not working. Pls help! I am desperate. TxIn order to resolve the issue if it occurs again, more info would be helpful as to what occurred prior to the "hang." One potential fix would be to try a Safe Boot:
After the Mac is completely shut down, push the power button and immediately after the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
There should be a message that says "SafeBoot." After the Mac is completely booted, try restarting and see if the issue is gone. -
I am a new user to Mac and trying to set up an Epson XP-215 All-in-One printer without any success. The Mac Book Pro is not recogising the Printer automatically and when following the instructions to add the printer, it gets as far as a display box for teh user and password for "System" Keychain but I am not sure what info to add there...
The printer is meant to have a function calle dAir Print also that is meant to be used for Mac but I cannot figure out any of this! Why would the MacBook Pro not automatically pic up the printer? Please help...If you have not already done so, you should read the user manual that came w/the printer and/or contact Epson tech support.
Check out the following KB Articles:

Hi, I created a new user on mac, Admin but I can't use adobe CS6 while the original user is admin too and all programs are running normal. How can I solve this problem?
Hi Amanda,
Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:

You may need to contact Adobe Support if this does not resolve your issue:

Can't log new user onto Mac Mini Server
I can't log a new user into Mac Mini server. Have added the user to the Workgroup Manager, and am now trying to use the password created there for log-in on user computer. Any advice?
Do you have Server Access Control Lists (SACLs) configured? If so, you will need to add this new user to the appropriate SACLs before it can connect. As an example, when I create new users, I need to add them to the File Sharing SACL or they never see any available shares on the server.

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one.
On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
What am I doing wrong?If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I got a new Ipad 2 and I am trying to get it work in vain. I have downloaded the iTunes on my PC, but even after executing the program nothing happens to the IPAD. I still get the image of the USB cable and the iTunes logo. What am I doing wrong?
You know that you have to connect the iPad to your PC with the cable that came with it - and then iTunes should start automatically and it will guide you through the set up process?
If you have already tried to connect the iPad - and you have launched iTunes - and you still have no luck - reboot your PC and then begin the process again. -
I am trying to use the liquify tool for the first time. I created a new document (RGB/8). Before I place my photo, the liquify option is available. After I place the photo, the liquify option disappears. What am I doing wrong?
What am I doing wrong?
For one thing you forgot to mention the version of Photoshop you use.
Did you place the image as a Smart Object? Liquify got Smart-capabilities with Photoshop CC.
