You have two different commercial "anti-virus" products installed. Both are worse than useless, and either one alone could wreck the system.
Remove the Sophos product by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version, the procedure may be different.
Remove "AVG Antivirus" by following the instructions on this page. To remove the free version of the product, you may have to download the installer from here.
Back up all data before making any changes.

Mac mini crashed, need help
I installed Leopard on my non-intel mac mini (it has a good processor and 512 ram, so it should work let me know if I am wrong) When I came to see the computer after a few hours, it had a solid blue screen, though the mouse still worked. I restarted it and still, the mouse only thing on the screen. Please help, I have a lot of files that I can not lose...
See the yellow post at this forum's main page.

I don't understand how much memory a mac mini has please help!
I feel really stupid asking this, but I can't understand how much memory a Mac Mini has...
512MB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 2GB
I hope that doesn't mean it only holds 2GB...but I don't know.
PLEASE HELP ME! I need to get a Mac soon before my PC dies again.
Mac MiniHi opera_rocker
I think that you may have found yourself in a little bit of a pickle regarding technical hardware terms, so I'll try and clear things up for you.
The Mac Mini comes as standard with 512MB of RAM (Read Only Memory). RAM is a little stick that is built into the computer that supplies the software with all the virtual memory that it needs to accomplish tasks. The more RAM that you have in your computer, the faster software will run, and the more things you can have going on at the same time. You never actualy use RAM for personal files and folders. The Mac Mini will accept a total of 2GB of RAM, which comes as an optional upgrade from Apple, however, 1GB is more than adequate.
All of your files and folders are kept on your hard drive, like that in your 30GB iPod. Everything that you use on your computer, whether it be Word Processing software, or Games for example, are stored on the hard drive. The Mac Mini can come with either a 60GB, or 80GB Hard Drive depending on which model you decide to buy. That's plenty more space than you have on your actual iPod and you will most probably never seem to run out of room!
Hope that I may have been of help!

PLEASE HELP THIS HAPPENS REGULARLYHi people. I just converted to mac and bought a second hand mac book pro. Its a mid 2012 model.retina. 2.7ghz, intel i7. 16gb ram. 500gb storage. Its running yosemite. and it for some reason crashes quite regularly when using photoshop. in the spec next to graphics sometimes it reads "Intel HD graphics 4000 1024 MB" and sometimes it reads "NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB".
Im not sure if the graphics cards operates when it is needed for certain programs or what the problem is. Usually it will read as the intel graphics card and when it restarts I will check the graphic specs and it reads NVIDIA, which is beginning to make me wonder if the switching between the graphics cards or perhaps the installation of the graphics card is faulty.
Otherwise I'm not sure. The computer is hi spec and should easily operate programs.
Im running photoshop cs6, perhaps I should try cs5?
When I bought the computer the guy told me about the problem and thought it might be yosemite operating system and thought that they might be still ironing out the wrinkles... If this is the case should I step back to Mavericks or mountain lion?
What do you think I should do?
Scott.

Thank you for reading and helping out !
All of a sudden, my left click on microsoft optical mouse stopped working. Then it worked for sometime then permanently stopped working after an hour. (its been 24 hours now). It was working fine before.
Here is what I have tried so far.
Tried Replacement optical mouse, which was not detected. so can't even use a replacement mouse.. it only seems to recognize original mouse and respond to it only.
I have turned Bluetooth off so that shouldn't be a cause.
unplugged keyboard and still left click on mouse not working.
unplugged computer and all cables for more than 6 hours.. still not working...
couldn't zap pram (for some reason being a microsoft keyboard ?? would you have proper instructions on how to to do this in windows keyboard??? )
My Specs: mac mini 10.8.2 with microsoft ergnomic keyboard and basic microsoft optical mouse.
i appreciate any help you would provide to get this solved!

Mac Mini crashes when HDMI-connected AV receiver powered off
This issue concerns a Mac Mini, mid 2011, running Yosemite. It is connected to a Yamaha AV receiver using HDMI and under normal circumstances works normally. However, whenever I power off the AV receiver, the Mac Mini crashes (spontaneously restarts).
I can't find any trace of a kernel panic, and there is no message after startup to say that the system has restarted unexpectedly.
For example, the system log from last night shows that is was performing a backup, and then there's the boot message at the time I shut the AV receiver down:
1/24/15 10:18:29.000 PM kernel[0]: hfs: mounted Recovery HD on device disk0s3

ASL Module "com.apple.authd" sharing output destination "/var/log/asl" with ASL Module "com.apple.asl".
Output parameters from ASL Module "com.apple.asl" override any specified in ASL Module "com.apple.authd".
I have swapped out the HDMI cable in case it is faulty, but this has not changed anything. This issue is easily reproducible but I haven't been able to find any possible solutions. It started after the Yosemite upgrade. Also, the AV receiver need not be displaying the Mac Mini video for this to occur. It will crash regardless of what channel the receiver is showing.
Any help would be much appreciated!I have a similar issue after recently buying a receiver (Sony STR-DN1050) and wiring my mac mini through it.
Some observations that seems to be linked.
1. When I power up the receiver with another hdmi input than the mac mini, the mac mini switches fast between displays, from the TV name to unknown (observed through Remote Desktop), and sometimes log out the user.
2. Then, when switching to the mac mini hdmi input, everything works fine, as the mac will recognise the TV.
3. When switching off the receiver, the remote desktop disconnects and usually the mac mini will log off user or restart- not sure which.
Edit: Right now, when I powered off the receiver, the mac stayed on... no idea why, as it usually disconnects as mentioned above.
Edit2: As I look in the Display settings, the mac now recognizes my receiver as Display when it is turned off, presumably because I turned off HDMI pass-through on the receiver settings.
However, I still have problem 1 above: When I turn on the receiver with any other input than the Mac Mini, the mac will start switching displays and log out the user. -
Mac Mini crashes when exporting imovie projects
Hi.
When I try to export imovie projects, my Mac Mini crashes. Not ever, just every two or three times.
My system is 10.6.7 and imovie is 11. Can anyone help me? Thanks, I apologize for my bad EnglishThank you, I'll try!
I hope you're right, because is boring to see out of the blue all the screen getting grey and the window that invites you to reboot, without hope... It happens, for example, after two or three succesful exporting projects, then I reboot and go on for another two or three projects and then again... I'm afraid it's a RAM problem, but I'll try to update system and software.
Thank you again -

My macbook pro's screen constantly goes dim. I have set the energy saver settings for battery to 7 mins but it goes dim even if the period of inactivity is less than 7 mins. Please help. MBP 13" OSX 10.6.8 (2011)
Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you're being logged-off.
Does your Mac go through the complete Restart cycle -- black screen, gray and/or blue screen momentarily, startup chime, etc?
If you're not sure, do a Restart just to watch the process; the next time the problem occurs, see if it's the same.
You need to know which it is, as these will have very different causes, and different places to look for a solution. -

I've been hearing static/hissing sounds on my speaker for my ipad mini. Please help!
Set the system alert to a completely different LOUD sound, like the train whistle. If the beep persists, it ain't the Mac.

Why Does My Mac Mini Crash So Much?
I have a Quicksilver PowerMac and a Mac Mini, and they both have (substantially) the same software configuration - the latest Apple software. The Quicksilver is solid as a rock. It never crashes.
The Mac Mini crashes frequently - I'd say an average of twice a day. Many different applications are in the foreground when it happens, but it is usually Safari. I suspect it might have to do with the memory that I substituted. I put in a 1 GB memory module - Kensington from Fry's. Memory tests say it is fine.
How can I track this down? Does Apple help?
BrianFirst off, I would like to thank you all for attempting to help me out.
Next, I'd like to correct my original message. The memory is "Kingston", not "Kensington". (I was working from memory, and that doesn't always work so well.)
I think I'm going to go with the suggestion to swap the memory out and observe what happens. I was hoping that someone would come up with a method of finding a "smoking gun" - something that would positively identify the memory as the culprit or eliminate it as the problem. I guess it doesn't work that way. Last night (all night long), I ran REMBER, a GUI "wrapper" for the "memtest" command line program, and it found nothing. I suspect I can run it for a weekend and get the same level of information.
I hope Andy's right about his "no quibble" comment. I called Kingston, and when I told them that I had the 1 GB PC3200 DDR, he informed me that the Mini was spec'ed for the PC2700 memory. It's my understanding that both of these are supposed to work (the 3200 slows down to 2700), but I can see the beginnings of quibbling.

my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible
i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!! -
I have PDF files in iBooks on my iPad and am not able to sync them to my Mac computer. Please help!
You should be able to copy them over to your Mac's iTunes by connecting the iPad to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (that should copy PDFs and epubs that are in iBooks, not just actual ibooks) - does that not work ?

Mac mini crashing when booting up
Hi, does anyone know why the mac mini crashes at bootup. it gets teh strart up ping, then the loading screen, then the harddrive turns off. any ideas why this is happening
I had a similar problem recently, my mini froze during a backup, held the power button down left it for a few mins and rebooted, only got the grey screen with apple logo and the spinning gear and that was it, could not get past that so I installed OS X on an external drive, the internal HDD took upto 10 mins to mount then vanished copletely a day or so later, in the mean time the optical drive stopped working as well!!, took it to the Apple store who thought it ws a dodgy interconnect board, but they called yesterday to say that both the hard drive and optical have conked out, and that the machine was packed full of dust, and possibly caused everything to overheat!! (am allergic to dust so keep my flat quite clean!!), to replace both costs about the same as a new machine so not worth it!. So off to collect it today and buy a new one. Have had the machine barely 2 years! and thought it would outlive my Dell PC!

Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKIOk. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?
