If i go to sleep every day and I came back like 10 or 12 hours later and use the computer, should I shut it down or put it to sleep? Cause I dont know when I have to do each.
I dont know when I have to shut it down and when put it to sleep
Unless you plan not to use the computer for an extended period of days then just put it to sleep. I leave my computers on 24/7. When not in use I put them to sleep but never shutdown.
With laptops I only shutdown for travel.

I've got a 15" white macbook which I bought about 2 years ago. It froze the other day and wouldn't respond so I shut it down. When I turn it on now it comes up with a flashing file with a question mark on it. How can I fix it? I've tried a few things i've seen online but the futhest ive got is to put the start up disk in when you makes it go to a grey screen with an apple logo and the spinning wheel which then stops spinning. Can anybody help?
That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once.It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left handlist. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead. -
Can you stream video and use the computer at the same time on a mac mini with hdmi
Can you steam video and use the computer at the same time? I have a mac mini with hdmi.
Shouldn't be a problem, unless you want to view it in Full Screen Mode at the same time with only one display.

i am running 3.6.6 version. FF has been crashing almost daily for the past week. i have 3 tabs open on it most of the time. i usually use Google Chrome for most of the tabs/sites i use during the day. i only use FF for a game and the local radio station, sometimes 1 other tab. i had a lot of personal links in the bookmark section--taxes, music, ministries, medical and state assistance info. they were there this morning after a crash/restore, but when i got in this afternoon, the bookmarks were all gone.
1. The message you got about the Library needing to be upgraded was bogus. There has been no new version of iPhoto 11 that runs on 10.8 in more than a year. You got that message because your Library was damaged. So, nothing to do with Apple's updates - none have applied to you for a few years anyway.
2. Do you have a back up of your Library? The most simple way forward right now id to restore from it.
3. If you don't - and you really should change that policy right now - then
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -
I use my MacBookPro sporadically during the day. Should I shut it off after each use or put it to sleep?
You will get various answers to this type of question. Everyone has their preferences. Read the user manual that came w/your MBP for sleep & shut down recommendations.

I dont recall when I have been more frustrated.... the "loops" I am in on the web for support are endless. After downloading Yosemite on my Mac my CS6 no longer works. On your support web site you state the following for downloading and installing previous versions of apps, such as CS6 " 1. open CC for desktop and go to the apps panel (no link is provided so I explored until I could download a trial version of "application manager" as that was required. When I attempted to open it to download "Previous Versions" I could not. I have my license number, my CS6 will not open in Yosemite and after over 2 hours I am really frustrated.... Rich@
When I go to that link, download and then attempt to install I get the message "Webe encountered the following issues, Installer failed to initialize. Please down load Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem" I then select the link "get adobe support advisor" that takes me to a site that describes a better support link since the one I have been sent to is no longer available. I then go to that site and am told to go to CC for desktop apps, that requires me to download CC... I don't want CC.. just want to have my CS6 PS work again.... so frustrating...

it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.

Hi People!
Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.Hi Alan,
Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now... -
Bought my I=pad (wi-fi) in Nov. Use sometime alsomst every day and re-charge battery at 50%. Usually every 3-4 days. Just finished re-charging to 100% and was playing a video. Stopped and I turned it off and when I turned it back on, just got the Apple Logo. is the battery no good after only 6 months?
The battery is not likely the culpret. Something to hung up. You need to reboot:
Hold the home and power button at the same time for about 10 seconds (Keep holding past the swipe to shut down) and when the Apple Logo again appears, let go and your iPad should come back to life. -
