Mission Control + Finder laggy since update
Hello,
i bought a new Macbook Air 2014 i5 with 8GB Ram in May with Mavericks pre-installed. It was fast, snappy and responsive until i updated to Yosemite.
The first thing i noticed was that Mission Control was and still is not as smooth as before while many windows/apps are open. Especially soundcloud.com running in the background slowed it down.
Since yesterday Finder is not as fast as it used to be. Switching between folders takes longer than usual and the CPU Usage goes up a lot.
It's not unusable in any way, but compared to the superfast performance i'm used to it's very slow.
Fixes i already tried with no success:
- SMC Reset
- Deleting the com.apple.finder.plist
- Repair Disc Tool
- a lot of restarts
If i can't fix this problem the next thing i will do is a clean re-install of Yosemite, but i hope won't have to do that.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Phil
I'm seeing the same thing with the same machine.

IMovie for iOS not finding videos since update to iOS 5.1
Hello everybody,
I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 to be able to get the newest iMovie for iOS update. The iOS Update as the iMovie Update went fine so far. But when I try to open projects I have made, iMovie just shows a yellow triangle and says that it can't find the movies. It tries to find them but with no success. I never moved the movies and they are still in the "Foto" App ( or camera-roll as it is namend sometimes). The Movies have all been taken with the build in camera, no import or nothing.
I guess Apple has changed the directories name of the "Foto App" so iMovie can't find the Movies made under iOS 4.x and the program is not "inteligent" enough to find the movies anymore.
Has somebody similar problems and could tell me how to re-link the movies?
Many thanks!

Strange Finder behaviour since installing Mountain Lion
I've been experiencing some strange finder behaviour since updating to Mountain Lion. Folders take several seconds to open after clicking on them (and sometimes won't open at all) and files cannot be moved around the desktop or dragged on to an app. However, it is possible to open a file by clicking on it. I've tried re-booting with Snow Leopard and everything seems OK, but as soon as I go back to ML, the problem starts again.
Library is a folder, not a file. There're more than one Library folders, one at the root and one for each user in your Mac. All of them are hidden, this is why you can't find them. But you can see their contents using
Finder Menu > Go > Go to Folder
And then type:
~/Library
for your Library Folder
-or-
/Library
for the root Library folder. -
Hey guys...
So I'm getting some Finder Weirdness since updating to 10.4.4...
1) File sizes are not being updated in the list window, even after a file is completed. For example, when FCP is finished exporting a Quicktime or when Compressor finishes compressing an mpeg-2
which leads into the next bit of weirdness...
2) Mpeg-2 Files ending with the extension .m2v have their "Kind" listed in the Finder as "MPEG-2 File <!DO..." followed by a bunch of weird characters.
An example is here: <http://www.judp.com/Images/Picture2.png>
When I do a "Get Info" on that file, the Finder locks up (SBBOD) and I get what looks like part of a .plist file under "General:Kind." See what I mean here:
<http://www.judp.com/Images/Picture1.png>
I've deleted the Finder Prefs which had no effect. I am unsure where to go to from there.
Thanks guys!

Problem with mission control after 10.7.2 update
After I updated to 10.7.2, when I swipe into mission control then select a different app with the spacebar then swipe back out of mission control, the menu bar on the top does not switch to the new app, it stays as the previous open app. But, if I click on the new app instead of using the spacebar then the menu bar switches correctly. Is anyone else having this problem?
I have had the same issue since initial 10.7.0 install. Doesn't seem to affect function at all.. but disconcerting nonetheless. I have yet to find anything acknowleding the problem or how to fix it.

I can't see anything in Mission Control with OS X 10.8.4 update
So I installed the new update for Mountain Lion the other day (10.8.4) and before when I went to mission control all the things I had open would show up in their windows; but now they shrink to nothing. The only one that goes into its normal view (little window) is iTunes, all of the others disappear (or just show a very very thin line). Is this just some kind of bug... or what?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
Entire dock bounces, Mission Control laggy opening
When I hover over dock, the dock bounces back open twice. Also, Mission Control and Safari are very laggy. This happened about a month ago and eventually went away. It came back after downloading the new update.
Problem Solved.... opened up Autocad and quit it and the problem goes away!

Since updating my iPad 2 to ios8, it safari has been slow and crashing and some of the apps acting wierd. The password app doesn't work at all so had to find another way of retrieving all my passwords. Very very dissapointing. It appears from these forums that a lot of people are having the same problems wit this latest update.
Hi erastyle,
Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

Please let us know if it helps.

Since updating to 3.6.1 I don’t get an empty browser window in my tool bar when it opens --- just a list of search engines. I can’t find anything in “Help” or the FAQ’s that seem to address this.
My only choice seems to go back to Safari.I am not sure what your problem is, can you give more details.
One possibility is you may be in full screen mode, for details on fixing that see the [[menu bar is missing]] article.
If you are missing various toolbar items, see the [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article.
If your problem is something else please give more details. -
since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help
That usually means the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock the phone and when you update the phone it locked back up again.
Only way to resolve this issue, is to find out who the orignal carrier was and have them unlock it. If you bought this from a 3rd party contact the seller and have him/her unlock it for you by contacting the phone carrier. -
Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls. iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files. Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod.
Can anyone please advise me.From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps! -
Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.
Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty. -
My mission control key does not work with the new Mac update
The key on the keyboard doesnt work, neither does the button on my dock. Any help?
P.S. is anyone else having as much trouble as I am with the new update?The pre-2006 Mac models this forum covers cannot run a Mac OS high enough to have Mission Control. If you can identify your Mac to us we can get you moved to a more active forum.

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight, Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?
If you have an external drive with an OS X Time Machine backup, then do restore of your last backup. If you have an external drive with a bootable clone of your previous system, you can boot to that clone and re-clone the OS X on your external drive back to your Mac's internal drive.
If you do not have either of these available, then the reverting/restoring process becomes much more complicated and involves purchasing an external drive and backing up your current system to that drive, then erasing, reformatting your hard drive and now your only options to installng an OS X version is doing a clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, then upgrading, again, to either OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for download and Apple has not made OS X 10.9 Mavericks available in any other form to be able to redownload and install.
Maybe it would be better to explain in detail your issues with Yosemite to see if any of us here can help you with your difficulties.
I am not running or using Yosemite, so I cannot help you with your Yosemite issues,
There are others here who can help you with Yosemite.
Good Luck.
