    After i install OS X 10.10.3 my macbook pro gets really hot. I don't know why. Someone has a solution?

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.

    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • My MacBook Pro getting slower and slower, what do I need to do to speed it? Thanks.

    Help to speed up my MacBook Pro.

    By slower you mean starting up slower or during regular operation slower?

    Over time, as you install more programs, they may be running at startup (login). Check what items are set to start during login.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Users & Groups.   
    Click your account’s name, and then click Login Items. Select the ones you dont want and hit the minus bar to delete from launching during log in.

  • Macbook Pro not working right after getting it back from Apple Store

    I had to bring my last generation Macbook Pro into the Apple store to have a faulty optic drive and logic board replaced. I just got home and the date in the preferences was set to 2001 and it will not connect to my network, even though I am typing this on another Mac using the same connection. It does see it, it just shows a message with an exclamation mark in the Airport area saying no internet connection.
    Any ideas of what I may need to do? Are both of these a sign that they may have messed something up? I did reboot it after getting it back.
    Thanks.

    Just bring it back. Have them check it out and demonstrate that it's working properly.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the configuration that may be related to the problem.
    Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: In each of two steps, you copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is copy; paste; paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, use that.
    Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. They do nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to think carefully before running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
    If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    PB=/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy; PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; PC () { o=$(grep [^[:blank:]] "$2"); PR "$1"; }; PF () { o=$($PB -c Print "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); PR "$1"; }; PN () { [[ $o -eq 0 ]] || printf "\n%s: %s\n" "$1" $o; }; { system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | sed '8!d;s/^ *//'; o=$(system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | sed '5,6!d'); fgrep -q P <<< "$o" && o=; PR "POST"; o=$(( $(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{sub("\\.",""); print $2}')/256 )); [[ $o -gt 1024 ]] && printf "\nPageouts: %s MiB\n" $o; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); PR "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); PR "Inserted libraries"; PC "cron configuration" /e*/cron*; o=$(crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "User cron tasks"; PC "Global launchd configuration" /e*/lau*; PC "Per-user launchd configuration" ~/.lau*; PF "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; PF "Per-user login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; PF "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); PN "Restricted user files"; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist") || ID=; ID=${ID:-No bundle ID}; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf '%s\n\t(%s)\n' "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); PR "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); PR "Unsigned shared libraries"; o=$(system_profiler SPFontsDataType | egrep "Valid: N|Duplicate: Y" | wc -l); PN "Font problems"; for d in {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}*; do o=$(ls -A "$d"); PR "$d"; done; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 1 done'
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "Step 1 done" to appear below what you entered. The output of the command will beautomatically copied to the Clipboard. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-Vagain. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
    PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; { o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); PR "Login hook"; o=$(sudo crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "Root cron tasks"; o=$(syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail -n25 | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'); PR "Log check"; } 2>&- | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 2 done'
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    You can then quit Terminal. Please note:
    ☞ Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — type only your login password when prompted.
    ☞ When you type your password, you won't see what you're typing.
    ☞ If you don’t have a password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
    ☞ Step 2 might not produce any output, in which case the Clipboard will be empty. Step 1 will always produce something.
    ☞ The commands don't change anything, and merely running them will do neither good nor harm.
    ☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard. You don't have to copy it. Just paste into a reply    
    ☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of either command, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    ☞ Don't post the contents of the Terminal window.
    ☞ Don't paste the output of Step 1 into the Terminal window. Paste it into a reply.

  • Macbook Pro running slow/(crawling) after 10.9.4 update

    I paste in information on the system from EtreCheck below.
    The Macbook is really crawling very slowly.
    It may be a coincidence, but happened when I restarted after the latest software update 1st july from OSX 10.9.3 to OSX 10.9.4
    Regarding How does it behave/How slow:?
    Now, every task that may require the use of resources not recently used (menus, lists etc.) will take exceedingly long time. For example after the desktop appears with the top menu, it will take 3-4 min before any menus can be pulled down, same with dock, 3-4 min to show up. Clicking an app, 3-4 min before launches. Then after launched, some apps may run OK, for example Logic Pro.
    When working in the Finder. Opening a folder may take 3-4 min, before the the file list shows. Then selecting a file - takes a minute before it gets hi-lighted. But is then fast to drag to an open folder on the backup drive. Copying a folder to a backup drive, is also fast.
    Another example: It took two hours from logging in at this Forum, until getting here to post.!! (I'll read answers from another machine)
    What I have done:
    I have backed up with Time Machine,, in addition to manually backing up files.
    I have ran Disk Utility and it reports the hard  disk is OK. I have ran fix permission, only two were fixed. No difference.
    I have reset the System Management Controller (SMC). No difference.
    It is not a network problem, My network is fast and smooth with other devices,
    I don't want to change hard drive 'just in case'. It fast to restore files from the backup. However
    I  have many licences apps and contents which will take several weeks to restore.  I've done that before.
    Is it likely that it is the hard disk that is failing without disk utility having a clue?

    Thanks Melophage
    You ask some  (5) questions regarding the output of Etrecheck
    Re #4 :"Have you tried uninstalling the fastestyoutubedownloader.com user launch agent, in case that’s causing a problem?"
    Yes, now I have.  Now it takes 40 min. from powerup to the login screen.!
    My system report  showed as I posted, before the removal:
    "User Launch Agents:
      [failed] com.fastestyoutubedownloader.TrialExpired.GoldFreeFirstWeek.plist"
    I am ignorant about the matter.  I too was surprised to find that item and the conspiracy deamon on my left shoulder had wild thoughts.
    The app that generated the Launch Agent must have been FastestYouTubeDownloader.app,
    It was downloaded as an app and no uninstaller. I think it was supposed to run fast  the first week, and if you paid for it(upgrade license), it would remain fast or else work slowly. I tried it on one file and then threw it in the trash, as I would have no more use for it. But a nagging/promo dialog telling me the trial period was over came up 1st july, while the nagging came up I was notified (by appstore) that a new update of my system required a restart. I pressed that, my system was updated to 10.9.4 and after the update everything was slow. So the conspiracy deamon was whispering that maybe the app had made everything slow, by mistake, and not just the FastestYouTubeDownloader.
    I really don't think so.
    But I think the developers have to leave a mark somewhere to tell them that I have tried the software and maybe they have chosen the User Launch Agent for this?  Then trying to remove it may just cause more problems, since it is not anything I should be able to do for obvious reasons.
    I couldnt see what it was really doing from its content, it seems to me it should do nothing if the application was not found.
    Re # 1 and #2
    I have had these drivers all the time and not experienced problems with earlier versions of Mavericks.
    Also, the ZOOM and the GR-55 is not connected.
    Both had at least their own kernel-extension, a launch agent and a preference panel, but possibly more.
    But I have now tried the Uninstaller that accompanies the GR-55 driver  to remove it.  It gave no improvements.
    Re # 5
    I have apperently two Flash Players, both have the same version number, one is outdated.?
    Probably not good, but probably not my main problem(s).? I'm not using Flash often.
    Re # 3
    I have no idea, what the following listing
    Launch Agents:
      [invalid] entries
    may refer to. In my HD/Library/LaunchAgents folder I only have
    "com.zoom.R16DeviceManager.plist" the other entry in the report with same file name with added extension  ".svn-base" I have no idea where is coming from.
    I think this is not my primary problem though? even if  I am curious where it comes from.
    My Conclusions
    Obviously with a boot time of more than 45 min  doing diagosics and tests takes long time.
    The Disk Utility verifies the disk as OK.   Onyx verifies the disk as OK (mabe the same test?).
    I think my maachine is just getting worse.  There must be a serious problem, not  just a fine tuning issue.
    The conspiracy deamon on my other sholder tells me that Apple have decided its time for me to buy a new computer again :-) ,It  would have been a good idea if not for the pain of  reinstalling licensed software which will require a 2 week vacaition doing nothing but restoring, Possibly having to purchase new licences costing more than the computer.

  • My Macbook Pro running slow even after format

    Hello guys, I've had this problem with my 2009 unibody 13" Macbook Pro for at least a month. Last month I tried to reinstall OSX Lion which i previously had, but the install failed for saveral attemps (probably for my slow internet). I finally managed to get OSX Lion on and it was increadibly slow even no programs are installed so I reinstalled it again and again but the same problem still comes up. So i went to an Apple Store (Thailand) and the apple guy assisted me by trying harddisk permission repair, reinstalling the os again, none worked, i still get a super slow computer. So I went home and downgraded the os to snow leopard, it seemed to work just fine at first but after i install several (4-5) basic applications, it started to get slow again (still faster than when it was lion). Whenever i open two or three applications at once or even browsing a webpage alone i get the spinning rainbow cursor. Somebody told me its probably the harddrive, who do u think? please help - thanks.

    Yes it is your hard drive.
    Backup your files off the machine and before you reinstall OS X again, this time use the 10.6 disk > Disk Utility > Erase with Security Option > Zero All Data, make sure your ENTIRE hard drive is slected on the left.
    Let that complete and install 10.6, then update to 10.6.8, that should be the fastest OS X version for that machine.
    If you go to 10.7, it's going to slow down a little bit again.
    If you can't complete the Zero erase (it takes some time to finish) after trying 2x and or still having problems after that, then the drive is causing the defective sectors and needs to be replaced.
    Keep your boot drive below 50% filled for maximum performance, but never more than 80% filled.

  • My Macbook Pro gets slow the longer I use it?!

    Hi everyone, recently my MacBook Pro 2011 has been very slow. It started acting up about a week ago after I left my laptop on stand by mode for a while and when I returned to using it, the laptop was really slow, significantly slower compared to before. I restarted it and everything seemed fine but after using it for about 20 to 30 mins it starts to get slow again... As the result, I have to restart my laptop every 30 mins or so if I want to use it smoothly, but really... its very annoying having to restart it all the time. The symptoms are lag, slow application launch, applications not responding and A LOT of rainbow wheel...
    I have verified and repaired the permission and the drive in the Disk Utility but the problem persists. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

    Here it is:

    MacBook Pro 2011 gets slower and slower the longer I use it.

  • MacBook Pro painfully slow, lagging after Mavericks install

    I know I'm not the only one with this problem, but I'm not often able to follow the advice given to others -- it's too technical for me and uses abbreviations I'm not familiar with.  I would so appreciate any suggestions anyone might have -- expressed so people with not much expertise can follow them.  Here's the report on my machine.  Thanks!!

    MacKeeper is not capable of doing anything that can't be accomplished more safely and easily using the Mac's built-in tools.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Macbook Pro not booting right after installing mavericks

    I downloaded Mavericks on my 2007 macbook pro and after I booted it for the first time it has the apple sign, loading circle, and loading bar. After it is done loading it powers down, if i start it up again it repeats the same thing. Please help.

    Hi, I had exactly the same issue last night on my Macbook Pro late 2011 model.  Unfortunately, I could not find a way out of it.  Has yours actually installed?  Mine kept saying it was installing but then getting stuck and saying "error in install there is a problem with your hard drive." 
    Sadly, I found the only way out of it was to restore my Pro from my back up copy (which thankfully i'd taken 5 minutes before attempting upgrade.)  Others might me able to advise you of more ways round it, but I took to the forums and read up and this seemed the only way to get my Pro back so I could use it again.
    You need to get it to the screen to provide options to do this, so start in recovery mode, which I think is CTRL CMD, plus R button.  It should then bring you up with a list of options and choose recovery from time machine.
    I decided to wait until they've ironed out some of the clear difficulties with this new operating system.

  • Slowly I turned.... Why is my Quad Core MacBook Pro getting slower with each Lion update?

    I upgraded to Lion on my 20011 15" 2.0GHZ Quad Core MacBook Pro. The machine crashed at least 7 times (reports forwarded). I upgraded to 10.7.1 hoping for the crashes to go away. It began to crashed once a week. On checking the console reports Virus Barrier and Kaspersky (****!) used with Parallels seemed to be causing the crashes.  Turn those puppies off and the crashes disappeared.  HOWEVER, the computer is slow; opening mail seems 50% slower than on my MacBook 13".  Today after spending 3 hours updating to 10.7.2, all apps seems to be dragging.  Any ideas out there?

    OK. Here's some test results. The most intense process I use on my Macs is using Handbrake to encode either DVDs or mkv files to mp4 files which generally pushes all cores to the max. I am using the latest 64bit version of Handbrake on both Macs.
    So I took a sample mkv file of 65 seconds length and ran it using the same settings on both the Mac Pro (2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon 8GB RAM) and the Macbook Pro (2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB RAM), straight after starting up both Macs so that there was plenty of RAM to spare on both. I ran the test two times on each Mac and got similar results both times, with the best results on each machine being as follows:
    Mac Pro: max RAM used: 380MB, Time for encode: 102 seconds
    Macbook Pro: max RAM used: 495MB, Time for encode: 84 seconds
    This was for a 2-pass encoding with Turbo first pass to 2200kbps MP4 file from 720p mkv file.
    So the Macbook Pro is coming in considerably quicker for this particular task. I'm not sure why the Mac Pro used less RAM, and whether this is the main factor in the time difference. Like I said, there was plenty of unused RAM on both Macs when I ran the test. I am no expert on the inner workings of Macs!
    Needless to say though, I am happy with the results and very happy with the new Macbook Pro.

    You need more ram. But has it really been 3 months since you rebooted this computer? Restart it once in awhile and some of that slowness might go away.

  • MacBook Pro getting slower and slower

    My MacBook Pro has been slowing down, to the point of "click... wait 60 seconds... click... wait 60 seconds".
    Around 8 weeks ago, headed on in to Apple Store, to find my Hard Drive was dead (we actually watched it die completely once they hooked it up to their network to try and save my stuff, that was the last straw for it). One new Hard Drive later and I've been happily enjoying my much faster Mac. Until the last week.
    It's worse when I try and use AirPlay - extending desktop to TV to watch a movie, that just kills it.
    I've run Disk Repair. I've cleaned out any start up items I could find. I know I probably could do with some more RAM, and I'll do that when the budget allows.
    I used to be able to run InDesign, Illustrator, VLC, Word, Safari, AirPlay and Mail at once no issues - now it struggles with two tabs in Safari. Have I killed another hard drive?

  • Macbook Pro Getting Significantly Hotter After New Update

    Since getting the new Flash update with hardware accelleration, I've been noticing a significant rise in temperature (when before it wouldn't get hot to the touch much at all) when on sites with Flash. On the Apple discussion forums other people seem to be having the same issue with the new update. Is this known to Adobe and will there be anything done about it? Thanks.
    My model is 15" Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (Mid 2009) with Nvidia 9400 and 4GB RAM with OSX 10.6.4 and Flash 10,1,82,76.

    What happens when you turn off hardware acceleration?  Do things cool down a bit?
    And while we're on the subject, did you ever download and try out the "Gala" preview release?  Gala had some additional hardware acceleration capabilities that arrived a little too late to make it into the official (10.1.82.76) version.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
