Lagging scrolling for everything in Mac OS X And Apps

hello. I just got a MBP. Out of the box it seemed slow so i used onyX to clean it up. Everything went great and it speed up alot! Now it seems the scrolling its jagged/ laggy and it quite annoying... I just re-imaged the computer today and same outcome... Any tips on fixing this would be great .

Create a new User account and login to that. Is it any faster there? If so, the problem may be isolated to your main User Library.
Have you got the two graphics circuits in that model? If so, try switching between them and see what happens.

External HDD formatting for use in Mac OS X and Windows

I've been gifted with WD (My Passport) 1TB External HDD. On the box it says it requires reformatting for use in Mac OS X.
I used the earlier discussions. I couldn't decipher the steps details as it was mostly by level 4 above.
Can any honourable member advice me on how to reformat my new external HDD for use in Mac OS X and Windows (As in office and during meetings I might haveto use wwindows system)
Also if done with formatting will this be allowing to setup Time Machine back ups.
Please be sure that I want to use time machine exclusively for backup, some earlier discussions mention that TM can also be used for OS booting etc.,
I would be greatful to all who will help me in these regard

Normally the drives are formated as exFAT which could be used by both a Mac and a PC out of the box. Connect the drive to your computer it should be able to read it. If not then the system will ask you if you want o erase the hard drive. Select yes, it will format the drive for use with a Mac only. This is the required format to use it as a Time Machine backup. As stated in our post you would like to use this hard drive on both Windows and Mac, you should reformat the hard drive as exFAT in disk utility.

Hey there FlamingTurd!
If you are having issues connecting to the App Store on your phone, there is an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
We also have an article that deals with troubleshooting apps you have downloaded from the App Store and installed on your computer. That article can be found here:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Finally, if neither of those articles resolve the issue, you may need to restore your iPad:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Partitioning Hard Drive for Use with Mac (Time Machine) and Windows

I have a brand new Imac on which I am also running WIndows Vista through Boot Camp (sweet, by the way). I have a large external hard drive on which I set up Time Machine easily enough. I would like to partition the drive somehow so that I could use half the drive to separately back up files on the WIndows side, but I can't seem to do this. Any suggestions? Is this even possible with Time Machine?

You can use Disk Utility create two partitions. Choose FAT for the Windows partition and Mac Extended (Journaled) for the Mac. One limitation of FAT32 is that you can't write files bigger than 4GB. You can reformat this partition as NTFS within Vista which will allow bigger file sizes but you won't be able to write to this partition from within OS X without other utilities. Also you can't write to the OS X partition from Vista without other software.
Time Machine will not be able to back up the windows formatted drive partition.

Purchased Lightroom educator version for use on Mac with Yosemite and it won't open. It crashes overtime I try to open it.

I purchased Lightroom for use on a MAC using the new operating system of Yosemite, and it crashes every time it tries to open. I have removed and reinstalled it, but it does not help. Is this program mac compatible? How can I get it to work?

This should not be so difficult, and really does not require a screenshot, or a chain of a dozen email.
The message says “Lightroom quit unexpectedly. Click report to send a report to apple.” There is no error number or any other message. That is it.
It has been installed, removed and reinstalled.
IT DOES NOT OPEN.
How do I resolve this. I have now spent hours on this issue and I am in the same place.

Upgrade support for users on Mac 10.6 and above

Help: I received a message from Skype that my Mac system (10.6. was using an outdated version of Skype and that I needed to upgrade to Skype version 6.15.0.335. So I did so and whenever I have tried to open the new version of Skype it says I can't open the skype file since I am using an outdated version. I have tried about 8 times now and keep getting the same outcome. Help please. Thanks? ejpj

I'll be happy to get skype back on my very old secondary laptop that still must remain on 10.5.8 ... it cannot be updated, so at least I'll be able to get my skype back. In the future, I hope you'll make sure NOT to disable a previous version of skype until you've verified that the new downloaded version will install on that person's configuration. It should just say sorry, you can't update your version of skype, not disable your current working version and then say that.

Audio works for everything apart from the itunes festival app

Audio works fine in menus, music and video. But when trying to watch concerts on the itunes festival app there is no audio, only video. Have tried changing settings and restarting apple tv but has made no difference. Seems very strange.

I called Apple and got this fixed. It was a simple "Restore" from the settings menu. Not the restart but restore the Apple TV back to factory settings, I went straight onto the featival channel and it worked (and has continued to work) perfectly.
Hope this helps everyone else!

Can't find the tic-off for music in iTunes (only books and apps), Whats wrong?

I run on PC with Vista

That doesn't make sense Otto, it found the other
artist's rendition. (edit: "take on me" by amber g,
I tried the same search Philip L tried)
The database isn't correct.
No, you missed my point. That search turned up a lot of hits. The fact that it's an exact match for the name doesn't matter, it's probably trying to find the most relevant results, where "relevant" is not defined as "exact matches".
The database is correct, as "take on me a-ha" clearly turns up the right results. But "take on me" is rather vague, all those words are commonplace terms.
Searching 101: Always add more specific search terms to a general word search.

Can we have a BE-ALL, END-ALL thread for your BEST Mac solutions for video?

Sorry if this already exists. But I am trying to find the sweet spot for encoding my videos (existing files, like AVI, not from DVD - I get Handbrake).
There are SO many programs and SO many options. But the discussions of these seem to be far-flung and unorganized.
So.
If you have spent hours experimenting, what have you found? I'm looking for the best Mac-based programs, and the best settings in those programs.
- I want videos that will look good on TV, but not have a crazy file size.
- I want it to be relatively fast (QuickTIme Pro is horribly slow).
- I want it to have a queue.
- I REALLY want it to be free of audio/video sync problems.
I want, I want, I want.
So far I have tried iSquint, Podner, QT Pro, FFMPEG, MPEG Streamclip...
All of them work, but they all have problems to some degree. However, one of them may be your favorite.
Have you found ONE program and ONE set of settings that you use all the time now? Share!

Justin,
I hate to stomp on your post, but unfortunately what you're asking here is against the Terms of Use for these discussions boards. Polls, petitions, surveys, etc... are not allowed.
If you have a specific question or problem regarding your iPod , you can feel free to ask it and someone here will try to help.
Otherwise, a forum such as those on iLounge might be a better place to post non-technical topics.

When I compose an email in either gmail or yahoo, the cursor lags behind for about 2 seconds. This does not happen when I compose an email with Safari or Chrome. I am using a Mac with Firefox version 3.6.3. Any idea why this happens?

Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.

I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.
