My Imac keeps refreshing automatically?
My Imac keeps refreshing automatically without my refreshing it, I have no idea why. Also it runs very slow at times. Any ideas?
We need more info - all we know is you have some kind of iMac. What model, what version of OS X, how full is the hard drive, how much RAM, and can you be more descriptive of what you mean by refresh? Not trying to overwhelm you - if you need help anwering any of this, just ask!

IMac Keeps Wi-Fi but looses Internet
Can anyone help with this as it's driving me crazy. my new iMac keeps loosing it's Internet connection even though it remains connected to the Modem Router and reports great signal strength with the Wi-Fi signal.
A Bit of Background Info
3 days ago I bought a new 27" iMac this is the 3.1GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 model and currently has 4GB of RAM which I'll be updating to 16GB in a couple fo days. This machine came pre-installed with Lion.
I bought this to replace my older iMac a 2006 model which is running Snow Leopard. I also have a MBP which is around 6 months old (I bought it just before Lion was released) and this also has Snow Leopard on it. On top of this I have an iPhone 4 and my wife has an iPhone 3G.
All of these computers and phones connect to my Wi-Fi network which uses a Belkin N300 Wireless Modem Router. This router itself is only about 3 weeks old and replaced a much older Netgear one that just failed one day.
When I was setting up the new iMac I used Migration Assistant to move accounts, documents, settings, everything from the old Snow Leopard iMac to the new Lion iMac.There were a few problems at first in doing this which may or may not be the cause of the problem I'm now experiencing. I'm going from memory here so I'm not 100% sure of the precise details but I'm pretty sure it went something like this:
1. Turned on new iMac for the first time and was prompted to add it to my Wireless Network which I did.
2. Connected a CAT5 cable between both Macs
3. Ran Migration Assistant but it failed to detect the old iMac
4. Disconnected the CAT5 cable and tried again, still failed to detect the old iMac
5. Reconnected the CAT5 but ran Migration Assitant first on the old iMac before running it on the new one. The new iMac then found the old one and the transfer began.
6. After an hour or so noticed that the transfer time was HUGE, like around 22hrs and realised that it must be trying to send it over Wi-Fi and not CAT5.
7. Aborted the migration but then both iMacs completely crashed and had to be rebooted by holding down the power button.
8. Rebooted new iMac but chose not to set-up Wi-Fi first and re-ran migration assistant with CAT5 cable attached. Transfer then worked taking around 3hrs.
9. On completion got a report saying that two programs hadn't been copied because they weren't compatible with Lion but both of these were programs I had previously uninstalled on the old iMac and this message was just referring to left over folders that hadn't been deleted.
10. Added the new iMac to my Wi-Fi network.
The Problem
The Modem Router is in the same room as the iMac (and all the other computers and phones for that matter) and is around 3 meters away from it with just a TV in between them and as such the Wi-Fi signal strength is always very strong on the new iMac (and all devices). However several times a day the new iMac just stops being able to access the Internet yet it remains connected to the Wi-Fi network. This happens whether I'm using the Internet on the new iMac at that time like surfing the web or downloading files or if I've just left the iMac on but am not using it. The cure is always the same and that is to right click on the Wi-Fi signal icon at the top of the screen, select Turn Off Wi-Fi and then turn it back on again. The length of time that I have working Interent on the new iMac can be a few minutes or a few hours it just seems pretty random.
When I do loose the Internet on the new iMac all the other computers and phones can still access the Internet and if I can still log into the router ON the new iMac and the routers status shows that it is still connected to the Internet. So the new iMac is connected to the router via Wi-Fi, the router is connected to the Internet but for some reason the new iMac just isn't getting the Internet anymore but if I turn Wi-Fi off and back on again on the new iMac it starts working again!
Things I've Tried
All the following are things I've tried without success.
1. Reboot the new iMac
2. Reboot the router
3. Turned of Wi-Fi on the new iMac, deleted my network from it's preferred network list, deleted all Airport passwords from my Keychain
I did notice the first time I did this that I had two Airport passwords listed under both Login and System (possibly caused when I first added the new iMac to the network before the successful migration?) but I deleted all of them and when I connected the iMac back to the network I now have one listed under Login and one under System
4. Added a new Network Location
5. Turned off Firewall on the router
6. Turned off Firewall on the iMac
7. I tried to use a Manual IP address but could not get this to work at all. If I used "DHCP with manual IP address” in Network > Advanced > TCP/IP settings and entered the same IP address that was automatically assigned to the iMac, 192.168.2.7, then it wouldn't even connect to the router at all. Setting it back to auto would make things work again but obviously still resulting in the dropped Internet connection.
Have I got a dud iMac, is there something I've missed, something else I can try?@ Phreak777

My iMac keeps crashing and I have no idea why
My iMac keeps crashing, and I don't know why. It started yesterday and for some reason just fails. I get an message saying it has shut down due to an error, and this is then the details of the error report it produces.
Can anyone please help and tell me what is wrong?
Huge thanks.

<Edited by Host>And what is wrong with Trend Micro Titanium as a package?
1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack, and what you should and should not do to protect yourself from that threat. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Most of the real-world danger of malware attack comes from highly targeted "zero-day" exploits that are not yet recognized.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices. -
IMac no longer automatically connects to Airport
Hi all.
Used to be (up to a week ago +/-) that as soon as I turned the iMac ON, it would automatically connect to the Airport (WIFI mode).
It no longer does that and if I want to connect to my network via Wifi, I have to open System Preferences/Network and manually enter the network's name and password. The iMac then connects (and stays connected) without problems.
The iPods and the iPad keep connecting automatically to the network without problems.
The Airport Extreme router firmware's was updated today to 7.6, but that had no impact on this problem.
In the past week or so, the power has been (abruptly) cut on the line that powers the router. Could this have had an impact???
Thanks for any ideas.Try the following...
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
- Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
- Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
- Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
- Restart or log out then back in. -
IMac won't automatically connect to Wi-Fi.
iMac won't automatically connect to Wi-Fi. I can connect manually using "Network Diagnostics". After I select my router the connection is made. How can I make it automatic again? I only have a medium/low expertise. Software is Mac OS X v10.7.5.
The problem all started when I let Nintendo do a computer share in order to connect to a Wii U. The tech was into so many things I couldn't keep track of them. I have tried everything I know to fix it but to no avail. I even let Nintendo try twice to correct this...no luck.Hello, how do you fetit to connect?

Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. -
My imac keeps giving me a spinning color wheel when i open and close applications and also when I am typing in programs. It happens and spins and then releases. I have done the following: Run virus software and found no problems, I have reinstalled the operating system, I have reloaded Iworks software, I have checked system prefrerences and still the problem continues. What could the problem be and how can I correct the problem?
"the spinning wait cursor is displayed automatically by the window server when an application cannot handle all of the events it receives. If an application does not respond for about 2 to 4 seconds, the spinning wait cursor appears."

Why does my screen keep refreshing?
Yesterday I had to delete all of my caches and preference files. Not a big problem.
However today my desktop and file windows keep refreshing about every 30 seconds. Annoying when your screen (not apps) keeps blinking. Cannot find anything in Settings that my need to be reset.
What is happening?
Thank you.

IMac keeps changing identity adding a number (x) behind byname-iMac
My iMac's computer name keeps changing automatically after
Yosemite upgrade
This started happening once I upgraded my iMac to Yosemite. It will add numbers to the name of my
iMac.
Example: It starts off as say "My iMac"
Then a half day later, it changes to "My iMac (2)"
Then the next day it will be "My iMac (3)"
And if I open the Finder window, it will show "My iMac" and "My iMac (2)" under "Shared" but if you click
on them, nothing happens.
When I go to System Preferences > Sharing the computer name will have the number there "My iMac (3)"
and say it can be found as MyiMac-3.local
If I change it back to just "My iMac", the number process starts all over again. I even tried naming the
iMac something it was never named before and the same process occurs with the adding of the numbers.
Anyone know how I can fix this?This is a problem with Yosemite. Turning off all devices connected to your router, then rebooting the router by powering it off for a minute might correct the problem.

Imac keeps saying out of application memory.
This is truely a nucense, my imac keeps telling me it is out of application memory. I have a new 21.5 imac, i7, 8gb ram, fusion drive. Recently when havin gmore than one application open it has started to tell me that i am out of memory. Right now i was on facetime, had safari open and was surfing on one monitor while facetime was fullscreen on the other. It told me i was out of application memory. How is that even possible with two things open? I remember seeing someting about this being a problem with mavericks, I wanted ot report this to show that i am getting this also. I was wondering if anyone had any idea on a fix for this?
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is 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, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Rich Client keeps refreshing docs when opening them
Hello,
I would like to ask a question about the refresh on open with Rich Client. Using FP2.10, I have Rich Client which keeps refreshing documents when opening them. This happens even if the 'refresh on open' option is unchecked. I would like to know if there is another option that is forcing the refresh of my webi doc when opened with WRC.
this behavior I'm facing is systematic and does not depend on universe, document, objetc or whatsoever.
It happens when I create a brand new doc using demo universe (eFashion for instance). I use a prompt in the query; then I save the document locally as a .WID file making sure that option 'refresh on open' is uncheck. However when I open this newly created document, the prompt dialog box shows up meanign that the doc was refreshed.
This behavior is happening wiht only one machine. that' what made me think that it might be related to some configuration within that machine.
Thanks in advane for any input you might have to resolve this issue.
Best regads,
MohamedI have got a question with regards to this thread.
I understand the new option that has been added u201CDisable Automatic Refresh on Open for all documentsu201D
In this instancce all reports refresh when opened in WRC and not in Infoview?
Is this right specific to WRC or Webi in Infoview as well?
With BO administrator, the report does not refresh as u201CDisable Automatic Refresh on Open for all documentsu201D right is granted by default.
However, with a non-admin user, the report will refresh.
If the aforementioned right is granted to the non-admin user then the auto-refreshes stops.
Therefore, my query is:
Is this functionality of refreshing all documents specific to WRC or does it also applies to Webi in Infoview?
If specific to WRC then is it documented somewhere?
Thanks

Finder Sider Side Bar - "Shared" Items Keeps Refreshing
I have an iMac where the Finder side bar "Shared" Items (other Macs on the LAN and a Time Capsule) keep refreshing. In other words, it disappears for a split second and then reappears every 120 seconds or so. Bonjour refresh, me thinks. This happens on both ethernet and WiFi.
I have replaced the Time Capsule - at first thinking this was the issue. I have also removed the sidebar.plist file. Both with no success.
Any thoughts? Search criteria turned up little.
OS - 10.6.7I appreciate you taking the time to look. My 3 macs are now displaying only other Leopard computers. The strange ones have disappeared. One strange listing did look like my airport express base station. I have a 2nd express airport which servers to play my itunes. I, also, have two PCs on a Linksys wireless network and a wireless printer on my airport network.
Have no idea why the strange additions have disappeared. In an attempt to get them to disappear, I did shut down & restart each computer (Macs & PCs), unplugged and replugged both express airports, turned off then on the printer, and unplugged and replugged the linksys wireless router connected to my DSL modem. My goal was to isolate the equipment causing the strange listings. No luck. Could only modify the strange listing by totally taking down the wireless network at the DSL modem. Then, after returning from working at a client's; everything looked normal. ????? -
Making my site refresh automatically
I'm getting lots of reports from people saying that they can't open my site or they still see old information. I'd like to embed a code that makes it refresh automatically. Assuming it's a HTML code like the below I'm wondering where it should be placed. How can I display my site's entire code? Should I just "insert HTML snippet" like a logo etc?
The code I found was this, is this even correct for what I want to do?
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=5>
</HEAD>
Thanks!Your snowboarding video is nearly 18 MB in size and that takes up a lot of bandwidth. Look into ways to reduce it's file size with QT Pro, VisualHub or one of the other video apps. QuickTimeKirk is the person to tell you the best method to do that. Converting to flash can greatly reduce the file size and keep the image quality. Again QTKirk is the one to ask.

IMAC keeps dropping the internet connection using Wi-Fi.
iMAC keeps dropping internect connection when using wi-fi.
Best way ti fix it !
iMac and MacBooks have the ( PHY Mode: 802.11n ) as standard
there not supporting 802.11g or other types
what you need to do
go About this Mac > More Info... > Overview > Than > System Report..
Than from the lest under Network - Wi-Fi
you will get report about your network Interfaces ,
your router name here :
PHY Mode: 802.11n
BSSID: bc:76:70:5d:c6:a7
Channel: 7
Country Code:
Network Type: Infrastructure
Security: WPA2 Personal
Signal / Noise: -74 dBm / -101 dBm
Transmit Rate: 52
make sure that your router setting on your router match the machine
in example the router set on : Mode: 802.11n only !
and Security: WPA2 Personal
after that you mac will work faster and smooth
why is that happened ?
when your router set in auto mode , if any other pc or laptop join the network the router will change the mode from 802.11n than your mac will lose the connection setting and you will need to refresh the network
agin and agin and agin .
make sure you buy good router that support 802.11n
very easy job takes me 1 year for find it and no one have the right answer on the net -
Imac keeps freezing when using safari
my imac keeps freezing when using safari or finder
The beachball appears and I have to wait.
My safari cache is emptied, have run Disk Utility to check permissions.
Rebooted various times.
Sorted out ``the community toolbar not supported" issue and still it's happening.
Anyone any tips on what to do next??
It's a 24 inch iMac - early 2009 version
Processor is 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software is OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)I have only been able to read your reply by going online on my phone -
I started up my iMac in safe mode on Saturday morning and reran Disk Utility , no problems.
I shut it down and re started it as normal. Whilst I was able to use my Mail and MS entourage and Safari brower,
the computer was very slow and the beachball appeared briefly each time I used a program.
On Monday , it didn't recognise one of the printers and was continually hanging.
All software is up to date and I have run Disk Utility - repair permissions again.
I shut the computer down yesterday and rebooted in Safe mode this afternoon so that I could try to look in

Troubleshooting help needed: My iMac keeps crashing and restarting with a notice: "Spinlock application timed out" What can I do?
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 page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.
