I don't know whether to get a new MacBook or not.....

I have a 2007 MacBook. Cheapest one you could get, with the small screen. Specs are:
- 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
- 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
- Snow Leopard 10.6.8
When I go to get HD information it says this:
Capacity: 79 GB
Available: 47 GB
Used: 32 GB on disk
Been having a lot of problems. When I updated to Snow Leopard, things seemed to be better, but have progressively gotten worse. I tried cleaning up a lot of my files, but it doesn't seem to help. It goes SO slow (takes a full minute to open Safari, etc). The fan constantly runs. The batterly lasts about 30 mintues when not plugged in, it says I need a new one (don't know how much they cost?). I don't know whether to take it in or not. Would it be worth anything? There is nothing wrong with the disc drive. What should I do....

you can get a general value of what your mac is worth by entering info here: http://www.mac2sell.net/. A new battery costs roughly $129 USD installed by Apple.

So I'm thinking about buying a Macbook pro with 512 gb harddrive and 8gb of ram. But I don't know whether to get a 2.4 ghz or 2.7 ghz processor? I mainly use my computer for a lot of music, internet, and other teenage things

2.4ghz is plenty of processing, if it means you'll save money over the 2.7ghz. I'd have suggested 2.7 if you also do heavy video editing/rendering using FCP, etc... but the spec you have is plenty

Is there a way to re set Lightroom to original settings, I have been playing around with it and got somewhere that I don't know how to get out of...not particularly computer savvu

Is there a way to re set Lightroom to original settings, I have been playing around with it and got to a place I don't know how to get out of. Not very computer savvy

To begin, quit Lightroom
On Windows do the following
Click the Windows start button and in the search box type:-
%appdata%\adobe\lightroom
Then press the Return\Enter key
That will take you to the Lightroom folder (see image below)
Select the Preferences folder and hit delete to send it to the recycle bin.
Close the Lightroom folder and re-start the Lightroom program.

Don't know whether to buy a new imac

I would be extremely grateful if some of you kind folk out there could help me in this quandry I'm having. I am considering buying a new mac because I am starting to feel the pinch as it were on general preformance namely speed on my old mac. It's a 17" flat panel iMac
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
HD 80G of which 56G is used
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB Type: DDR SDRAM Speed: PC2100U-25330
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
It is also one of the models that came with the SONY DVD RW DW-U10A that well dosen't really work i.e. has never burned DVDs, now rarely burns CDs (music, data etc) and reads mabye 50% of dics put into it. On this point I have downloaded the instructions on what replacement drives to buy and how to install it if I was to go down the route of keeping that mac.
I, though not professionally use a lot of big and hungry apps. such as Garageband, Reason, Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, Flash MX and iMovie and am going to start using Final Cut (probably Express) and Logic 7.
The mac I am considering getting after looking at bang for your buck is a G5 20" iMac 2GHz and mabye upping the RAM to 1G. I really can't afford a Power Mac Duel 2.3GHZ or anything in that range, what with having to buy a moniter as well.
So looking at the all the costs (i.e running my OS from an external HD, more RAM, changing the Superdrive etc.) involved is there any way of significantly improving my old mac to enough of a point so as to feel a real change in prefomance because at the moment things are really slow and sluggish.
Sorry for being longwinded and thank you for any advice.

I've heard that the new imacs have a trouble with overheating. My cousin has replaced his main board twice (under warranty). I don't know if this has been fixed (http://www.macnewsworld.com/story/45900.html).
The other thing to consider is Apple switching to an intel processor(http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20050606-4974.html). Apparently people who have hacked the developer version of it to allow it to run on a non-apple intel machine reported that the system ran much faster than the G5 processor (http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,68501,00.html). If you can wait a year or more, then you might want to go with one of these new machines. Of course, you would be buying a first-generation system that might have a bunch of bugs.
I've also seen some sites(http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/09/16/daystar/index.php?lsrc=mwrss) where you can upgrade the processor that you have now to near 2ghz. If you want to invest a bit of money without completely changing your system you could look into these.

I am in the market for a laptop, but I don't know whether to buy a Macbook Pro or a windows laptop

I am going to buy a laptop in the next month and I don't know whether to buy a Macbook pro with retina display 13 inch or a windows laptop. I like the simplicity of apple but windows can run more games like minecraft or league of legends.

Hi Bueaucoop17,
     The computer I would probably recomend for you is a Macbook Pro. I love windows for gaming, but they are not as simplistic and easy to work on as Mac's. I recently bought a standard 13-inch MacbookPro six months ago and I game on it a lot. I run Minecraft and League of Ledgends all the time as well as Team Fortress 2, Garys Mod, etc. and always get arround 60 fps. If you have 2 more years of high school and all of colege ahead of you I would recomend a Mac over Windows any day for work.
     Cost can be a factor, though. A base model 13-inch Macbook Pro starts at around $1,000, while a basic 15-inch Windows laptop starts arround $500.
Hope this helps ,

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
Kind Regards

You need to transfer the iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one.

I've got OSX/Genieo.A virus on my mac and don't know how to get rid of it and why I have it

I've got OSX/Genieo.A virus on my mac and don't know how to get rid of it and w I have it

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You installed the "Genieo" malware. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the malware (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Applications/Genieo.app
/Applications/Reset Search.app
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this trojan. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the attacker sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run a fake "uninstaller." As he intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware, and is in fact malware itself.

I used to see a monthly "Feb 2014" photo stream category in my library for each month. Now all of my photo stream photos (from my iPhone) are under "iCloud" under "Sharing" and I don't know how to get my pix out of there and separate them into libraries

My computer has changed how it accepts photos from my phone. They used to post into a library by the month and year, e.g., "Feb 2014 photo stream," but now all of the photos from my phone for the past year or so are lumped together into the "Shared" section under "photo stream." I did not put them there (that I know of) and now don't know how to get them out and into a library where I can categorize them.

The monthly events "Feb2014" will show you all photos that have been imported from "My Photo STream", if you have enabled "Automatic Import" in the "Preferences > iCloud" tab.
The albums you are seeing under "iCloud" are the "Shared Photo Streams" and "My Photo Stream". To import from your "Shared Streams" drag the photos frommthe Shared Streams album to the Projects in the library panel.

Why can you not buy all songs as a ring tone but can buy the whole song? I have an app to get them but don't know how to get them to tones !

Why cant I buy a single song for a ring tone but can buy the whole song? I have two that I got with an ap on my phone but it was transferred to my e mail and i don't know how to get it on my phone as a ring tone !

Because not all songs are licensed (by the label) to be used as a ringtone.

I don't know whether to get a new MacBook or not.....
