  • I have a 15 inch mac book pro running osx 10.5.8. I recently moved to FL and switched to Comcast (only option). Now when I access one of my banks, I can get past the login page and the opening page of my account but the data is unavailable. Bank no help.

Now when I access my bank website, I can get past the login to my account page but the data is permanently unavailable. The bank says no one else has this problem. Everything is up to date as far as software is concerned. . .I just update anything that comes up. I have not had this problem with this computer anywhere else and I am not having a problem with any other website. I have the problem with both Safari and Google Chrome.

  • Slow after download and installing Aperture 3 on my Mac with OS X Lion 10.7.3. Have any one else same experience and an idea of how to solve the problem ?

    My recently bought and up to date MacBook Pro 17" became very slow after downloading and installing Aperture 3. Is there onyone out there who have experienced the same problem and have an idea of how to go about fixing the problem ?

    Are you experiencing the slowness only when you are running Aperture or all the time since you installed it?
    Have you done anything with Aperture, imported images, iPhoto library etc?
    How much memory is in your system? Did you have any external disks attached? How big and how much free space is there on your internal disk?

  • Hi, I have a 13 inch mac book pro

    brought in feb this year I want to install windows on it as it works better for my work requirements can any one tell me how much this will cost and what is needed and if anyone has done it? thanks Marcel

    You need a Retial version of Windows 7. Home or Pro doesn't really matter unless it it matters to you personally.
    And basically that's it. You use Boot Camp Assistant to partitioin the drive and then install Windows 7.
    Or you could use one of the Virtual Machine software programs and install any version of Windows in a virtual machine. So for that you would need the VM software and a version of Windows.
    EDIT:
    Or you could go out and for a few dollars more buy a Real Windows computer with Windows 7 Preinstalled.

  • Can't install adobe flash and how I solved the problem

    This will sound crazy, but I was desperate. And then it worked, on the Air and on my Pseudo-Husband's new MacBook Pro.
    I changed the download folder to Applications. (Just for this one download. I've since changed it back to Desktop which works best for me.)
    In Applications, it installed fully, and works fine. I have no idea why, as I'm not a trained person on these things. But it seemed like a good idea to try. (Macs for 20 years.)
    Try it! I have no idea if it will work for you, but it did for us. Goo

    When the Flash installer reports that Safari and System Preferences need to be closed to continue it gives you the option of closing them from the panel.

  • I have found that my Mac Book Pro 15 inch late 2011 is slower than my PC Windows 7 for certain downloads, and working with iPhoto.  Would adding RAM be helpful in speeding up this process.  Currently I have the stock 4GB RAM, and storage 500GB HD drive.

  • I have a 2nd gen Mac book air with Lion. The hard disk has filled up even though i keep my data , music etc on hard drive . I used disk inspector to find where problem was and it is 20GB in the hidden files under the user directory can i resolve this ?

    I have a 2nd Gen MAc book Air with Lion .  The 60GB hard disc has quickly filled up despite me keeping most of my data on a portable hard drive .  I used disk inspector to locate the problem but found that it was was in 20 GB of hidden files in my user directory .  Is this correct and is there anything i can do about it ? Using disk inspector you can not see individual hudden diretories or files. I did unhide them but there is a mass of diretories etc and so no way i could see if this is one or multiple files using the space. Library System and  Applications are at 4 3 and 3 GB respectvely.  The data I actually keep on there is 9GB    Thanks for any help

    I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
    I tried it out again.
    I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
    After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
    I watched to the end of the movie.
    Then I quit Quicktime Player.
    And I shut down the computer.
    I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
    I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
    I normally use vlc to watch movies.
    Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
    I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
    I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc. 
    So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
    I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
    So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that.
