My iMac has lost colour depth
I recently had to move my iMac some distance, and when it arrived the colour depth had dramatically reduced, so that colours were blocky and text hard to read. I tried altering the colour configuration but nothing made any difference, so I'm left thinking it must be a hardware issue. The computer is a late 2009 21.5 inch iMac.

My iMac has lost its recovery partition.

Or you can simply take to an AASP or Apple Store. The download is limited by Internet connection you have. However in almost all cases the Recovery Partition doesn't mysteriousy dissappear unless auser has been messing with partitions and ignoring warnings. Do you have any other operating systems installed on this iMac? -
My Printer is an e-printer Photosmart Prem C310 Model CN503B. I have recently had a new Imac and the Apple Store downloaded everything from my old Imac to the new one. The printer worked Okay but last night I discovered that the time capsule had failed to action against the new Imac. I input my WEP Key and it loaded okay. Unfortunately my printer was unattached and I cannot get it back on line. It asks me for a WPA key but I don't know where to find this out. Please can anybody help me, I have a stack of printing to do and no means of dealing....
It is in your Keychain. Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access. Use the search field in the upper right of the Keychain window to search for your wireless network name. When it finds it double click it.
On the resulting window check the box next to "Show Password", it will ask for your Mac password, then it will reveal your WEP or WPA password (whatever you have).
By the way, WEP is not in the least secure. I recommend going to Applications > Utilities > Airport Utility and change to the WPA/WPA2 setting in the Wireless menu. Choose a strong, 13+ character password and hit Apply. Do this before you re-attach the printer to the wireless network or you will have to do it twice.

When I tried to access the recovery HD upon startup (pressing command-R) the recovery HD option did not show. When trying to download recovery assistant, message came up saying "The recovery HD on this computer is not present", which confirms its absence.
Should I re-install OS X 10.8.5 to get the recovery HD back on my computer?As the error message stated: "The recovery HD on this computer is not present"
Just to be sure, I've shut down computer 6 times and held down Command-R, Command-R-Option, and just plain option. The recovery option does not show up because it's not there.
There is no recovery HD on this computer.
Question: should I download and re-install OS X 10.8.5? -

You can resize the keyboard window, positioning the mouse pointer at the edge of the window, clicking and dragging to the desired size.

Hi there, my iMac has automatically been deleting files from my thumb drive when I try to open them. The lost files aren'tin the trash or anywhere else I can think of. Any ideas?
If one drive works and the other doesn't that points the finger at the errant drive. They are cheap, replace it. To check formatting right click it in Finder and choose Get Info and look for Format type. Finally do you eject it when removing it or do you just pull it out of the USB connection?

I have an Imac running snow leopard and have recently installed a cannon i-sensys lbp7750Cdn printer since then I can't get the printer working and the air port has lost the DNS servers; if it ever had them!!! but it dose not look happy and it is telling me so. Can any one help please?
Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc. -

Poor colour depth/banding with Apple Mini-DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor?
I'm using the Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor to hook my MBP up to a projector in the theatre where I give lectures.
I am getting colour depth/ banding issues - images seem to be displayed in thousands of colours, rather than millions, creating really bad banding problems.
I know it isn't an issue with the projector - for comparison purposes I tried playing a DVD through a DVD player connected to the projector, and then through the MBP connected to the projector, and the diference in colour depth was really noticeable. In fact it was virtually unwatchable through the MBP.
Is there a preference pane I'm missing somewhere which will increase the colour depth?
Is there a better adaptor than the Apple one that I need to buy?
Or is this a problem inherent in the minidisplay port to VGA conversion process?
Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated.If your monitor has DVI input, get the DVI adapter. DisplayPort is digital, DVI is digital, but VGA is analog - the signal conversion will result in a (slight) drop in quality.

IMac has become slow and freezes up
For a few months now my iMac has been much slower than it used to be. Apps take longer to open, menu functions respond more slowly, folders and files take longer to open, pages longer to display, etc. Frequently the active window freezes and the colour wheel starts spinning for 10-15 seconds (it has been doing it twice since I started writing this sentence). This happens with all apps I am using, like Safari, Mail, Word and Excel, but particularly frequently in Logic Pro X. Sometimes when it happens (but not always), I get the error message "Disk too slow or system overload (-10010)". However, I upgraded to Logic Pro X about a year ago, and I never had this problem during the first number of months after the upgrade. I am aware that Logic uses a lot of CPU and memory, but, as mentioned, I also have the problem when Logic is not running. This leads me to think there might be something with the hard disk, although it beats me why it suddenly should have become slow. I am currently running everything from the built-in 1 TB hard disk. I have a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 CPU and 8 GB RAM. A full EtreCheck report with my system specifics is enclosed below. Can anyone help?

MacBook Airport card has lost its IP address and won't connect to my network
The Airport card on my MacBook has lost its IP address and will not connect to my network. It worked fine until about two or three days ago. Network Diagnostics says that the Airport now has a self-assigned IP number and will not connect to the Internet. I can't find any info anywhere that tells me how to restore the IP number, and I don't get how it can have a self-assigned number and not connect. I have AT&T U-Verse, and my iMac desktop and two iPhone 4s connect with little difficulty. The MacBook is three years old, and AppleCare just expired two months ago. I'm still running 10.6.8 on both machines. I found an article saying that sometimes DHCP leases expire, but my desktop still works ifne, and I've had both connected to the same network since the same time. The artcicle said that more than one machine can share an IP address, so I wanted to try to enter the desktop IP address into the laptop, but I can't find a way to do so, either. Any thoughts?
Have you tried making a New Location for each yet? The Automatic one get confused easily.
Some "nix" to try when it happens also...
sudo ipconfig set en1 BOOTP;sudo ipconfig set en1 DHCP
sudo ifconfig en1 down;sudo ifconfig en1 up
Sometimes having an all OFF Location can help, thanks to Gnarlodious...

My IMac has been Stolen :(
My Imac has been stolen is there any chance of seeing the last location the mac was switched on as it would not display it on the Find my Iphone app
First, is the computer setup to use Find My Mac? Second, you cannot find it unless it has been turned on and connected to the Internet.
What To Do If Your Mac Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Mac before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi. What you cannot do is track your computer using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your computer for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty. Be sure to report the loss or theft to the local police. Have the serial number handy. If your Mac is found it cannot be returned to you if you don’t have the serial number and proof of purchase.
Find My Mac can be used from Find My Phone at iCloud.com and via Find My Phone on your iDevice.
