I have multiple files that appeared when I imported songs. They have names like TFS_TRECG_L46. They are copying themselves and filling up space. I have run Norton and Spybot. Nothing is showing up. How do I fix this issue?

Thanks.

The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

After taking a pix with my iPhone, it shows up in my Album. But when I select it to look at it or forward it, it disappears and the screen is blank. How do I fix this?

After taking a pix with my iPhone, it shows up in my Album. But when I select it to look at it or forward it, it disappears and the screen is blank. This doesn't happen with all of my pictures. I have the camera set on photo, with HDR off. How do I keep this from happening?

Not sure if this helps you, but I had the same issue. I inadvertently must have chosen a filter instead of none. Once I went and fixed this, my pictures were in my roll and I could see them. Hope this helps. I think you should be able to pick a filter and take a picture, but it worked for my phone.

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

When I'm in LR and click edit in PS CS6, I lose my edits and presets once in PS. How do I fix this?

When I'm in LR and click edit in PS CS6, I lose my edits and presets once in PS. How do I fix this?

OK, as you noted, the problem began when you upgraded to LR6, but you did not upgrade PS. LR6 needs Photoshop to have Camera Raw 9.0 for full compatibility. But, there is a workaround. Normally, LR passes the raw file and the adjustment metadata to PS for rendering using PS's camera raw, but LR can render the file as well. Here are the steps to take:
1. Edit > Preferences > General. Under "Prompts," choose "Reset all warning dialogs."
2. Now choose "Edit in Photoshop." You should see something similar to this warning dialog; choose "Render using Lightroom."
In this way, all the adjustments you made in LR will be rendered and the already rendered file will be passed to Photoshop.
Note the checkbox "Don't show again." You may have checked this once before, which is why you may not see the warning dialog. The reset in step 1 brings this warning back in case you've dismissed it.
Hope that helps!

When I try to access GameCenter on my Mac it says "The requested operation could not be completed due to an error communicating with the server." How can I fix this?

When I try to access GameCenter on my Mac it says "The requested operation could not be completed due to an error communicating with the server." How can I fix this?

This usually caused by a customised hosts file.
These need to be the only entries in your /etc/hosts file:-
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0     localhost
Remove anything below these entries, then try and reconnect with GC. Once GC starts properly you can put the extra entries back in your hosts file, GC should start normally afterwards.

When sharing an email the background like corkboard is not there- just black background shows. How do I fix this?

When sharing an email the background like corkboard is not there- just black background shows. How do I fix this?

Check, if the backgrounds are installed correctly in the system library.
Compare with your other two apples
The corkboard pattern and other backgrounds should be found in
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Shared/Backgrounds/
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Assets/Email/
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Assets/Shared/Backgrounds/Cork/corktile.jpg
To quickly open these folders select the complete line above, ctrl-click it (or right-click) and select "Services" from the pop-up menu. Then select "Open".
Inspect the folder that opens and compare with your other mac, if all files are there and if the permissions are set correctly. Restore from your other mac, if necessary or reinstall iPhoto to restore.
If all folders are there and missing theme files are not the problem, post back.
Regards

HT2953 When I try and import a CD it will import maybe a minute of one song, then a second of five others, and then a minute of another, and do the same thing. How do I fix this?

I just got a new CD I would like to import. Recently my laptop has been malfunctioning so I can't import it there, so I have to import it on our family's main computer. When I try to import the CD, it'll get maybe a minute of the first song, then get maybe a second or two of the next couple, then get half of another, and repeat the same thing.
How can I fix this?
Please, it is getting on my nerves. I have updated the Itunes and fixed what I was told to do but it still does it.
What do I do?

You're not alone, but for me, it doesn't happen very often. Maybe one in fifty. Sometimes it will read after multiple tries, but a few (two of the three Shins CDs) never work. This was a common problem two years ago when I first got my iMac (many discussions but no answers). I'll keep looking and I'll let you know if I find something.

I am trying to burn an iDVD, but get message menu contains no buttons. How do I fix this issue?

That essentially means that there's been no videos or slideshows added to the project as each of those items will create a button to play. What have you added to the project?

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

If it is longer available then you can't get the app on your phone.

Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.
