Hi SaintPrado, and welcome to the forums!
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.
Also, Get Temperature Monitor - 4.51 to see if it's heat related...

Dock acting really weird - Please help!

After installing the Mobile ME update and iTunes 7.7, my dock has been acting really weird.
1. I usually set the default dock size at the smallest possible. However, now when you left click on the separator of folders and applications, it allows the dock to become smaller than possible when setting from the Preference Pane
2. The dock automatically becomes smaller over time until the icons are really tiny.
Is this a bug encountered by anyone else? It really bugs me that I have to keep pulling the dock to a standard size. Can someone please help me out of this mess?

Hey VK
Thanks for the quick response.
I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
6. Choose it to be set at bottom
Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

I'm still getting all these annoying popups windows, although I followed every solution suggested(safari extentions,block the pop ups) it's really disturbing please help :(

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

"Preparing iPhone for restore"since last 2 hr.s nothing really happening please help

"Preparing iPhone for restore but nothings happening Could anyone please help?

I appear to have managed to fix the issue through googling the error code (rather than ignoring it this time), and figured I'd add the solution here for anybody in the future.
I simply moved my cable connecting my pc and iPhone to a USB port in the back of my computer rather than using the ones in the front and the process kicked off almost instantly without any further issues.

I perform the hardware test and I get the following error: 4SNS/1/40000001: VPOR-0.592 and can't solve it, I search but no result about this error, also I reset the PRAM and SMC but still the same, my mac just work properly when is plugged to a power source.

Installed the OS X Yosemite my computer froze up daily, trying to reinstall then I got really stucked, please help

My computer kept freeze up daily with OS X Yosemite installed a while ago, and I followed the other instruction to do "OS X" Recovery to: (1) erased my start up disk (2) Reinstalling Mac OS X Yosemite.
While about 18 or 20 minutes remaining from the installation, it went back to 2 hours 57 minutes but stuck there. I let my computer run over night but it was still at 2 hours 57 minutes. so I cancelled the installation which seemed to be the only choice.
I tried again today, erased my start up disk and reinstalled again, same situation happened again, when the remaining time said around 20 minutes, it went back to 2 hours 56 minutes and stuck there. I cancelled it again.
I read some other instructions in this community and did a hard shutdown and restarted while hold down the command key + R key. it took me to the disk manager screen and the only choice I had was the OS X Lion version.
I tried to install the OS X Lion, it said that will take 3 hours or so, after 20 minutes, a screen came up and said I need to turn off the computer by press the power button down then turn the computer on again. And I did. When I turn on the computer again, with Comand + R key pressed, I had to wait for an
internet recovery before I went back to the disk manager and trying to reinstall the OS X system. It kept coming back to ask me to turn the power off…
what can I do? Please help,
MacBook Air

Boot back into the Recovery Partition. Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.
X Yosemite Installation Stuck with Minutes Remaining?

I'm Dumb, Please Help!

So pages were loading slow and I wanted to repair disc permissions, etc. and ended up reinstalling the OS X. Kind of got lost when it was done and went through the whole process but then iTunes and iPhoto wouldn't launch. Been doing software updates over and over and now everything seems to work except iPhoto. Help a dummy out please!

Your OS is really out of date (OS 10.4.3). May be the cause of your problem. Any reason why you have not updated to OS 10.4.11?
For iPhoto issues try one of the iPhoto Forums

Mac shuts down after start up and before it was acting very slow, please help!!!

Recently my imac has been running unusually slow when I open/close apps or when loading things, it sometimes would freeze or take about 20 secs to load etc.
So in an attempt to fix it it cleared all unnecessary files from my computer but nothing too technical.
Then yesterday i was told by my brother to go onto disk utilities and verify/repair the disk. Both times it failed and further repeats failed. After the repair disk failed a message along the lines of "back up data you want then restore the disk" something like that.
Now today when I started up my computer in the morning it was fine, then a couple of hours ago I restarted it, and now it won't turn on properly. It goes to the apple icon with a spinning loading wheel and a empty bar underneath and after about 20 secs it shuts down. So then I did the thing where you hold down cmd and r to open osx utilities and went to disk utilities again to try and repair/verify the disk and again the same failure and messages came up suggesting to restore my disk.
Being 16 I only understand so much and understand that I will probably have to put in the installation disk or something and "re do my computer from scratch." But I do have things I want to back up before I do so but due to the load up problem I have no way of backing up photos, music and files and i don't know if the time machine has backed up the data for me (I don't really understand the time machine). I'm currently using my phone to post this, any help would be greatly appreciated because I don't really know what else to do now. My imac is 21.5 inch that I bought around 2years ago late december time. Thank you for your time

Sounds like a classic HD failure. Take the machine to your local Apple Store or AASP, if it is still covered by AppleCare they will handle it at no charge. If you have been backing up then once the machine comes back restore from backup. I get you are only 16, so I'd explain to your parents the computer needs to be taken in for service, if they bought it for you they would know if it is covered by AppleCare or not, assuming they originally bought the computer for you.
Good luck.

Blank Page, Really Stuck, Please Help

Hi all,
I've got a Report that I'm running from a client application to a job server that produces a Crystal Report. When I run this report against a local server on my machine the report completes without issue but when I run it against a different server on a different machine the report displays 3 blank pages in the middle of the data. I'm using the same database, same data, same report file. This occurs ONLY when running this report against the remote server and is unconcerned with any of the above listed conditions.
-I'm using Crystal Reports 11.5
Visual Studio 2008
-My local machine is 32 bit win7, the remote server is 32 Windows Server 2008.
If anyone could give me a hand at all I would be EXTREMELY gracious.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hey guys, thanks a ton for the responses.
I think I'm getting close. It has something to do with "Keep Together" either on the columns in a crosstab or on a couple sections within the report.
What's really still blowing my mind here is how it's different on the 64 bit machine. The client application is previewing the reports in adobe reader so I don't think the print drivers should be relevant. I did go ahead and update to Adobe Reader 10 on both machines and it had no effect but playing with these "keep together" settings seems to work .
I'll check back with final results later.
Thanks again,
Ryan

Help, logo created in CS4 copying weird in CS6!! really stuck, Please help!

I apologize for re posting this, but im trying to get some new help for my problem. I have created a logo in CS4 years ago, i need to work on it in CS6.
You can see the problem here:
http://www.bellwoodbnb.ca/1.html
When i open:
http://www.bellwoodbnb.ca/1.ai
It opens correctly in CS6,
when i copy and paste it into a new CS6 Ai file, it pastes as a faded version as seen here:
http://www.bellwoodbnb.ca/2.ai
We have checked to make sure all of the settings i can find are identical, we have replaces the CS6 pantones with legacy pantones and it did nothing. We know it opens, copy and pastes correctly in CS4 & CS5. But when copy/pasting or placing in CS6 it fades out for some reason.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

There's a redirect on the site which removed the "1.ai" portion. But you can put it back in and get the download. I posted too quickly.
The reason things are different....
Pantone color builds
When you open the previous file you open the file with their existing Pantone CMYK color builds. When you paste the file, you paste and get the new Pantone LAB builds in CS6.
Illustrator CS6 Pantone+ libraries do not contain CMYK color builds. The LAB builds are not as vibrant as the CMYK builds. Pantone states this is to "better represent colors on screen". Although I'm not a fan of this.
You can read more about it here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html
If working for print, the differnce in screen representation is not really something which is supposed to matter. After all Pantone 297U is Pantone 297U on press. I find the visual differnce pretty disconcerting and always revert to previous Pantone color books.
Viewing the other thread... I don't know what more you expect to learn. Monika gave you sound advice there.

Hello, my email is connected to Lotus Notes. When I updated my iPad to iOS 6, it REQUIRED that I have a password for the iPad or else my email wouldn't work or synchronize with Lotus Notes (on my work laptop). This is really frustrating, please help.

Hello, my email is connected to Lotus Notes.

This is really frustrating, because I cannot disable the password under General<Passcode. Thanks!

This would almost certainly be a setting that is being enforced by your company. You'll need to talk to them about this.
