Is this disk diagnostic anything to worry about?

I'm running a 2011 27" imac. I keep getting this Verify Disk alert on a pretty regular basis. I don't honestly detect any performance issues with the computer. Should I be concerned aboutn this error. I do repair it, but it keeps returning.
Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

You cannot repair the startup disk from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Is this anything to worry about?

Using Javascript to apply XSLT when importing XML [using Mac OS 10.6.4, CS5 7.02], and all seems well. But when I "sort" using the XSLT, I get the message "International sorting unavailable on this system - sorting natively. Line: 7, Column: 12".
It seems to work OK, but that looks like an error message. Is it anything to worry about? Is there any easy way of avoiding it?

If it appears to work, then I shouldn't worry too much about it. You can try adding a "lang=" attribute to the xsl:sort command, so the XSLT processor won't worry about what you mean (see http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_sort.asp). I think the message is to remind you that there might be a difference between international and 'native' (system?) sorting.
The lang= attribute accepts international language abbrevs such as "en", "de", "fr", "en-GB", and "en-US".

Is failure to install "N-Mon.kext" anything to worry about?

When I've done the latest update I get the message (appearing twice) that N-Mon.kext can't be installed and I should contact the vendor.
This has happened each time I've updated on two separate bootable partitions I use.
It has not happened on a fresh OSX install on a third partition that had no additional software and where I went straight from 10.6.3 to 10.6.6, only on the ones that had a version of 10.6.6 that was downloaded recently and lots of software.
Is it anything to worry about..? Everything (so far) seems to work ok.

Strange crash with shrill noise - anything to worry about?

A few minutes ago I was moving my cursor across the screen and accidentally clicked on the garageband icon in my dock, which I haven't used in over a year. The program goes to load and while it's loading, my computer starts emitting this loud, shrill sound while freezing up. It allowed me to open a few new windows but as I was trying to force quit Garageband (which eventually loaded up), the computer froze. I turned it off and it seems fine now but it was a strange incident...anything I should be worried about now?

Hi Jiggymike!
Run Repair Disk.
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, on the Menubar at the top of the screen, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu for Panther, or Utilities for Tiger.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number. Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.
8.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
9.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
10.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
11.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
You should also run the Apple Hardware Test.
Post the results.

IPod makes clicking noises, but works normally. Anything to worry about?

As i've been using it i've noticed my ipod has been working fine for the longest time, but reciently there are 2 things I notice that happen occasionally.
1. Once in a while when I plug an ipod into the comptuer it freezes, though this hasn't happened in about a month now.
2. Sometimes I hear clicking sounds like what you hear a lot on like older mac laptops that usually occurs when the mac has to process a lot (kind of?)anyways reciently I hear that on my ipod but it hasn't before.
So I just wanted to know is there anything I should worry about that could happen in the future or will it likely work just fine?

ive got excatly the same problem, my pod (also had it 3yrs 30gb 5th generation) has started making the clicking noise, i get the apple symbol appear or the sad looking face, im unable to restore it and i think the sad face may mean its a hardware problem from wot ive read on the online support. but i dont know what to do or where to send it to be fixed or if it can be fixed, if you find out how it can be fixed please let me know its doin me head in.

Can anyone tell me if this is something i should worry about?

I just repaired permissions and it says this about ARD.
Is this something i should worry about?

these messages are harmless and should be ignored. the ARD message one indicates that you might not be running the latest version of leopard. is that right? your profile does indicate 10.5.5 which is the latest.

Under "About My Mac"-"Memory", it says " ECC:Disabled" Is this anything to worry about?

ECC is a different kind of RAM and it is not as fast. ECC is supposed to be disabled in your laptop.

My macbook pro keeps logging me out whenever I try to software update. How do I get it to stop and is this something I need to worry about?

Recently my macbook started logging me out at random times and then I thought that maybe if I updated the software it won't do it anymore but whenever I go to click on the software update icon it logs me out. I'm worried that this might be something serious. Any ideas?

You've posted this once already.

Got a Lenovo G50-70 computer running windows 8.1. Got a pop up says Adobe Air needs to be updated asks when do you want to update. Is this legitimate? I'm worried about viruses, worms. thanks.

The popup says An Adobe AIR update is ready to be installed.
I'm not sure it's really a message from Adobe.
I may not have any need to use AIR if it was installed on my computer by Lenovo or Windows 8.1.
My last computer had a popup that was, I think, a worm which told me I needed to update Flash Player Pro.
So, I'm nervous now about popup messages. I wish all legitimate programs could have options to Automatically install updates.
Can someone tell me if the popup sounds legitimate? Some programs give you a third option of No Thanks but this one just has a box to click for Update Now and a box for Update Later.
Thanks.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just like Windows Update, Adobe AIR needs to update itself periodically. Just click Update Now to update to the latest version.

I get hieroglyphics in the top bar of he screen rather than "Firefox - Mozilla Firefox". Anything to worry about?

On some occasions, I get a series of hieroglyphics in the top bar on my web browser, rather than "Firefox - Mozilla Firefox". I'm concerned this may be linked to a virus. Should I be concerned?
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I launched Firefox

If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.
The ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.
Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.

Here is the direct download for the program.

My harddrive is listed as FUJITSU MHW2120BH in the system info.
Mac OS X (10.3.8)

HT1476 i heard that if you let the battery drain to zero that it could hurt the battery life (like if it goes to zero the battery life would go down from like maybe 10 hours, to 8 hours. just an example.) is this true because ive been worried about my bat

i really want all my devices working at full capacity especially the battery and i want more info on the care of it. like should i charge a device for a specific time the first time i get it, and if its ok to let a battery go to zero and if overcharging is bad. by the way i have an ipod nano 5g, ipod shuffle 4g an ipod touch 4g, an iphone 5s, a ps vita, a surface rt, and im planning to get a macbook pro. ive had some of these devices for a while and some are fairly new. i really want to make these devices last and i dont want to have to replace them for any reason.
please help and thanks.

It is not good for Lithium chemistry batteries to become fully discharged, however, iPads, iPhones and iPods will shut off before the battery is fully drained. That is, when the phone goes from 1% to 0% and shuts off there is still plenty of charge on the battery. However, you should not let it sit for a long time after it shuts off, as the phone still uses some power even in this state. So if the phone shuts off due to low power you should charge it within a day or two.
You also cannot overcharge an iDevice. The charger is actually in the device; it is not the adapter that you plug into the wall. That is just a 5 volt power source. And the charger in the device will stop charging when the device reaches full charge.
One advantage of Lithium batteries is that they have no "memory effect". That is, you don't have to fully drain them before charging, and you can connect them to a charger at whatever the current state of charge, and remove them from the charger if necessary before they reach full charge. None of these activities will shorten the life of the battery.
It is a good idea to run the battery all the way down, then charge to 100% every month or so. But this is to recalibrate the battery gauge, it is not to "condition" the battery.

802.11n anything to worry about

i was just thinking is the intel core 2 duo able to pick up 802.11n wireless, i was thinking of buying the new AirPort Extreme Base Station.Any help?????

To the best of my knowledge, Apple has not yet released or announced a software update for any of the 802.11n-equipped Macs that will enable "n". It's probably just a matter of time, but if you have a working wireless router now, I'd suggest waiting until such an update is available before you buy a Airport Extreme. That way you can be certain your system can take advantage of it.
Note, of course, that unless you're file sharing with other 802.11n devices on your local network or with wired (Ethernet) devices, having the faster wireless router probably won't do you any good. All wireless routers are faster than the fastest home Internet connection, so an 802.11n wouldn't connect to the Internet any faster, if that's part of your reason for upgrading.
Regards.

I'm worried about my PS4 Preorder

I preordered in June,and I played the full 400 dollars. I can't go to the midnight launch and will have to pickup my PS4 after school tomorrow around 3:00. The thing is I think my Best Buy will have sold my PS4 by then. The console is launching in a few hours. And I won't be able to get mine until after school tomorrow. Hopefully they won't accidentally sell mine. Or hopefully they haven't forgotten I preordered. I still haven't got a call or a e-mail. Hopefully all goes well.

Hello Damar-
I’m sure that you can barely contain yourself today in anticipation of picking up your PlayStation 4 after school. Hopefully you remember to sleep and eat this weekend as well!
All PS4 pre-orders should be held for 8 days from the date of release and we did receive enough system to cover all of our pre-orders, so I don’t believe you have anything to worry about. Your system should be waiting for you to pick up and take home today when you get to the store.
Have fun!
