Lion runs like a charm, I only have two small "problems"...

2. When I start my MacPro the DVD tray opens and stays open, till I close it manualy.... any idea how to cahnge that?
Thanks for your help.

  • Upgraded to Mtn Lion, runs like a tortoise

    Upgraded to Mtn Lion, runs like a tortoise: how do I speed up my system?

    Ok, so then we can proceed to determine what process is sucking up all CPU cycles. Have a look in Activity Monitor, sorting out processes by %CPU (click on the column label). Holler back if you need help identifying what each process is.
    May also want to check out the items in the bottom pane for more clues:
    In CPU, check out how much %User, %System and %Idle is the total CPU time being apportioned. On a personal computer, most should be in idle time (compared to a server). Note that people have reported that ML has a lot more background processes running than Lion did.
    System memory will show how your 8GB are being used. In mine, free mem (green) is usually from a fourth to almost half of the total, unless I'm running heavy duty stuff like VMW Fusion and a VM or two. Check also the swapping activitu (page ins vs. page outs).
    In Disk Activity, if you're doin' nothing, so should the drive; if something is pegging it, will need to find out who the culprit is.
    Same for Network. Unles you're downloading multiple copies of the ML installer or othe such massive undertakings, traffic should be light unless some unknown is hogging the wire.
    Hope this helps.

  • I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

    Hello,
    the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
    >>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
    If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

  • I can't email a photo directly from iPhoto.  First, I only have two "themes" to choose from instead of 8, and when prompted to fill in the "to" and "from", the "from" box has "MobileMe" already in it, and I can't get rid of or change it. I have OSXLion

    I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available?  Any idea why that would be?

  • Why does Apple say that I`m using 5 computers whilst I only have two?

    Hello! I`ve got a problem with iTunes. I usually use iTunes on my MacBook Pro. Today I installed it on my PC and entered my Apple ID. After that I got a message from Apple saying that I am using 5! computer - and I sure am not as I only have two ( My XP laptop has given up a long time ago - it doesn`t exist anymore. Got no iPhone, no iPad either). Can anyone tell me what`s going wrong here?

    Some of your computers may have been (or still may be) using multiple authorisations.
    Perhaps try doing a "Deauthorise all" and then reauthorise the computers you still have access to? (That should get you back down to 2 authorisations.) See the following document for instructions:

  • I have two small charges on my credit card from the itunes store. I tried to call for answers as to what they were for. A recording told me to go to this website and i still can not find the items charged anywhere.

    I have two small charges on my credit card from iTunes store and I would like to find out what they are. The number listed is a recording and tells me to come to the website for answers. There is no sign of any purcases in my itunes store. Where can I get a person to talk to from I tunes? Has any one had this happen to them?

    Look at you purchase history.
    Open itunes, click on your name in the top right corner and go to your account and look.
    BTW, there is no telephone support for itunes at all.

    I have a small problem with MSI G4MX420-T(S+C) ( MS-8878 ). Exactly with nVidia WDM Video Capture (universal), which  " can't be turned on " by Windows XP.

    If you only have 10 seconds of content in a 15-second composition, then you need to either add more content or shorten your composition.
    You can shorten the composition by changing the duration in the composition settings.
    Since you're obviously very new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you start here to learn After Effects.

  • I have two new problems that started today- I can't delete drafts and I can't move emails from my inboxes to folders in mailboxesleft column ( I work on a MacBook 10.7.5- I have 2 active email accts in Apple Mail

    I have two new problems that started today- I can't delete drafts and I can't move emails from my inboxes to folders in mailboxes in the far left column. I work on a MacBook 10.7.5- I have 2 active email accts in Apple Mail. Any suggestions for steps I can take short of going to genius bar?

    However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
    saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
    Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

  • Will upgrading my memory to 4gb make lion run like snow leapord use to?

    I downloaded Lion thinking I would be able to do all the cool stuff the commercial said I would. Well I can't, so now I have Lion running on a computer that doesn't seem to be up for the task. I read that the min memory is 4gb and I only have 2gb. I am debating on whether or not go back to snow leopard which will make me backup everything or just ugrading to 4gb. I just worry that since 4gb is the min ram it still will be kind of slow.
    Thanks

    No really SL used way less resources then Lion does. upgrading will help some but Lion still won't run as fast as SL did on your Mac.
    When I say more resources I mean more CPU cycles and accessing the HDD more along with using more RAM.
    So it's just not the amount of RAM installed in the system.

  • I can't open iTunes on my brand new Mac!I am getting the message that I am exceeding my limit of 5 computers! Huh, I only have two desktops and two laptops (not counting my new MacBook Pro). I do have an old (discarded) laptop that had iTunes! Help!!

    Hi! I have a new MacBook Pro, but I haven't been able to put iTunes on it even though I have used it for years on my iPhone, iPad, and two Windows desktops and two Windows laptops. I keep getting the message that "I am exceeding my iTunes account limit of 5 computers (not counting my iPhone and iPad, which are explicitly excluded from the count according to the message)". As anyone can see, I only have 4 computers, so I should not have any problems with installing iTunes, but this same message says that I need to deauthorize at least one computer or maybe I have extra authorizations on a computer.
    I can't even find a list or map of the computers on my iTunes account! Please, somebody help ASAP!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

  • I tried to authorize a new computer with windows 8. Per iTunes Help,there should be an "authorize computer" section on the iTunes store menu. I only have two computers authorized so I know another one is possible. Suggestions?

    I tried to authorize a new computer with Windows 8 for my iTunes acct.  Per iTunes Help, there is an "authorize computer" prompt in the menu selection on iTunes store website. I can find no such listing.  I have two computers linked to my account so I know that adding another one would be ok.  Any suggestions?

  • Why my iPhone have full memory when I only have two apps downloaded?

    My phone has 15gb. I have only downloaded Facebook and Messenger and now it has 196mb left . Please help me!. (Sorry if I wrote something wrong, I speack Spanish)

    Go to Settings / General / Usage / Manage Storage. You will see a list of all the apps currently installed on the device and how much space each is taking up.  If you tap on each, you will further see whether that space is taken up by the code itself (fairly common in games) or by the app's documents (the norm for apps like Photos, Music, etc.).
