My 2008 Macbook OS X 10.5.8 keeps getting a black box appearing around files that are selected. The volume keys are also making wigits come up and there are duplicates of "restart" and "shut down" for some reason in that apple menu.... What's going on?

Your not weird, your a audiophile.

Good sound costs money. And with a 5.1 system your usually doing surround sound decoding for BlueRay movies etc. for home theater purposes.
The PC 5.1 surround sound systems require a audio card in a PC tower and mainly used for playing 3D games so that won't work for any Mac at all. So don't buy a PC 5.1 surround sound system for your Mac.
Harmon Kardon has the GoPlay, it's a portable stereo with awesome sound (not as good as their theater systems) and you can hook up a analog male/male stereo mini cable to it from the Mac.
$200 and it has a iPod dock and also takes like 8 batteries so it's portable.

There is also the Bose Wave clock/radio, you will need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable for that.

The GoPlay has much better sound than the Bose, I think the Bose are overpriced. -
Probelm while installing windows 7 on MacBook pro through bootcamp? I am getting a black screen during installation
Apple Support Boot Camp
Is there any article in the above?
did you read the pdf before beginning from Boot Camp Assistant?
Did you upgrade to Lion or was it pre-installed? -
there is no sound on my macbook air. I have checked the volume and mute controls and the internal speaker are selected. any one any ideas please.
Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. Remove the headphone.
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
Audio Devices window
Side Bar
Click the Built-in Output.
Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

My macbook pro keeps saying I have 450 gigabytes out of 500 that are used. But when I look on finder there are no files that are anywhere close to that amount. I went through and deleted files from my mac and now I only have 10 gigabytes of additional space free. My mac now says I have 440 gigs of other that is used. But does not make sense, do I have a virus?
Since you have not identified the OS your MBP is using, these extract may or may not assist you.
http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html
http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
You may also download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it it will show all of the files on your MBP and the respective sizes.

You might try VLC instead of Apples built in DVD player.

I have a new MacBook Pro. I keep getting the message "Mail would like to use your keychain "login". How can I make this stop? I have run the keychain repair utility.
Hi,
With the Finder as the Front app go to the Go Menu > GO to Folder.
Copy and Paste the bold text below into the text field
~/Library/Keychains
Highlight the Keychain.
Use the CMD + i Keys together (Keystrokes for Get Info from the File Menu)
In the Info Panel that appears check the Ownership and Permission bit at the bottom.
Example Pic
Unlock Padlock
Check your Shortmname Appears (the (Me) one).
Open the Cogwheel icon
If it is Greyed Out to "Make "Shortname (Me)" owner then you are the Owner.
Check you have Read and Write Permissions.
You may need to check the Ownership and Permission on the ~/Library itself (you can do the same Get Info on Folders as well as Files)
If you don't Own it then, when you have changed that also Apply to Contents.

Macbook Pro running very slow and keep getting rainbow wheel
Dear Friends of the Forum,
I have Macbook pro mid 2010, and I'm having some issues. The computer is running quite slow when opening any program and the rainbow wheel comes up. Further, the even when trying to click on the commands, the rainbow wheel appears again and I have had to re start the computer a couple of times.
I started the computer in safe mode and it is running a bit better, but decided to run an EtreCheck. I will share the report with the forum, as I do not have the technical knowledge to completely understand it.
I would be most appreciative if you could look at it and let me know your thoughts and recommendations.
Best,
OA

Restart while holding Command R and choose Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Run repair as many time as it takes to report that no more errors were found, it will probably take two or three attempts.

We have a Windows 2008 R2 file server ( running off hyper V)
It has intronis and backup exec installed for backups.
Users are creating folders on the server and moving files, and sometimes ( not every time but about 20% of the time) the changes they made/ folders they setup will be gone and the files are back in the original directory they were in the day before.
There are some NTFS errors ( Event ID 55) that say to run a chkdsk,
which we have done ( chkdsk /r )
But we are still having the problem.
Should we just replace the drive? There is not much on google about this type of problem anyone run into anything like this before?
Thanks for any suggestions.Hi,
Do you restore the drive from backups? Do all the folders and files have the same issue in the drive or only some specific folders and files? Does the issue occur instantly?
You could refer to the article below to troubleshoot the event ID 55 error.

The MBA is trying to tell you that it is not able to find a bootable system
Either the file is corrupt or access to the storrage has failed

I am unable to secure delete those files in the Trash. Many files are marked as "locked" Is this way I cannot secure delete these files?
Can you not just select them and remove the locked flag?

Is it possible to save files that are not on my macbook
is it possible save files not on my macbook
Where are the files going to be that you want to save.
Time Machine, if that is what you are talking about, can only save files that are locally stored on disks that are HFS+ format. TM is specifically designed to use the Mac format.. it cannot work on network drives. It cannot work on other format drives.
If you are not specific to Time Machine.. your computer can save files on the TC.. that are stored anywhere just by copy and paste.. but the TC is not really a good storage . .It is unable to back up itself and TM as noted already cannot back it up. -
What version of LR should I choose to run it on a 2008 macbook pro OS 10.5 (updated with 8GB RAM)
As it says in the title: I want to run LR on my 2008 macbook pro OS 10.5 (updated with 8GB RAM). Adobe support told me that it would not be a problem, yet i'm confronted with a com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1. I have no idea what it is or how to solve it.
Can you please help me? Thank you.You will not be able to use a LR 5 key on an older LR. While an intermediate version of OS X may be easier on your system and may allow a newer version of LR than LR3, if it is not current you still have to get that old version of LR from an alternate channel.
If you have an easy way to clone your system I would try upgrade you Yosemite and putting LR 5 on it since you have a key. If it doesn't perform to your satisfaction you can always clone back to 10.5 and seek an alternate solution.
However, was the LR 5 key owned by your previous job along with that other laptop? If so, it violates the license for you to use it.
