My hard drive desktop suddenly will no longer hold or maintain the icons in place when I shut down and restart. The icons all change positions, alphabetically. Just started happening. Any thoughts?

My hard drive desktop suddenly will no longer hold or maintain the icons in place when I shut down and restart. The icons all change positions, alphabetically. Just started happening. I prefer the icons to a list format. Concerned this might be a symptom of a larger problem. Any thoughts?

It's normal for the icons at the top level of the startup disk to revert to the same arrangement every time the Finder is relaunched. If it's important to you to arrange those icons in a persistent way, proceed as follows.
Back up all data.
Open the Info window on the startup disk (labeled "Macintosh HD" unless you gave it another name.) Click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, click the plus-sign button to add an entry to the access list. Give yourself "Read and Write" access. This will be a temporary change. Leave the dialog open.
Open the Finder window and arrange the icons as you wish, then close the window.
In the Info dialog, use the minus-sign button to delete the entry you just added to the access list. Don't change anything else. When you're done, it should be the same as when you started. Close the Info dialog.

Portege M300 hangs after "Windows shuts down" comes up on the screen

The computer hangs after "Windows shuts down" comes up on the screen. The same happens in hibernation mode. I have to turn off the computer by holding the on/off button.
I have updated my bios, installed all windows updates that are available and done a numer of other things. It startd just out of the blue. Any ideas?

Hi
Does it happen after the OS installation from the Toshiba recovery CD???
Did you install any further programs???
I have noticed a similar freezing on my notebook. Mostly it happened because the background process did not close and therefore the notebook could not force the shut down. In my case it was a adobe acrobat reader which could not close.
I think you should defragment you HDD and use the CCleaner freeware application.
This program cleans program errors and corrects the registry entries.
Try it! Maybe its not a serious issue!

My mac book keeps telling me to shut down and restart

Mt Macbook is about 6 years old. It is now not strating up: I keep getting a message to shut down and start again. I have tried to perform a soft reset; now the computer just shuts off a few seconds after starting. I do not have the installation discs. Any suggestions?
I do not mund losing the saved files; I performed a back up just a few days ago. I just want the computer to start again.
Thanks

Sounds like you got incompatible or bad RAM.
Return it and buy from OWC or Crucial

Mac Book Pro hangs when installing Security Update 2013-002 (ver 1.0) on Lion 10.7.5

I am running Lion 10.7.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro (late 2011) with the latest software updates and everything has been working perfectly.
Last night I tried to do a Software Update and it said there is a Security Update 2013-002 (ver 1.0) recommended. I installed it and the progress bar went to about 50% and then stopped. I waited more than 2 hours and the mac locked up. Had to do a hard reboot. Tried to install this Security update again after rebooting. The mac froze again (spinning wheel).
Any ideas?

OK. Let's try running the computer in Safe Mode then a normal restart. The initial startup into safe mode will take some time so be patient. A progress bar will eventually appear then disappear. Once safe mode is complete you will see a login window. Login with the desired account and password. Wait for the startup to fully complete before restarting. The point here is to clear some caches and other files that may become corrupted.
If you happen to own a utility such as Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner I would use it to clear out all the user, system, and font caches. An immediate restart is needed upon completion. At least this way we can rule out corrupted caches.
Meanwhile you can check out:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions About OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utility is: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior for defragmentation of older drives, disk repair, disk scans, formatting, partitioning, disk copy, and benchmarking.
Four outstanding sources of information on Mac maintenance are:
1. OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
2. Mac maintenance Quick Assist
3. Maintaining Mac OS X
4. Mac Maintenance Guide
Periodic Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) See Mac OS X- About background maintenance tasks. If you are running Leopard or later these tasks are run automatically, so there is no need to use any third-party software to force running these tasks.
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced after Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
Defragmentation
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive except when trying to install Boot Camp on a fragmented drive. But you don't need to buy third-party software. All you need is a spare external hard drive and Carbon Copy Cloner.
Cheap and Easy Defragmentation
You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive. You will use Carbon Copy Cloner to create the backup and to restore it.
1. Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the
       external one.
2. Boot from the external hard drive.
3. Erase the internal hard drive.
4. Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
Clone the internal drive to the external drive
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the left side dropdown menu.
3. Select the Destination volume from the left side dropdown menu.
4. Be sure the Block Copy button is not depressed or is ghosted.
5. Click on the Clone button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive and click on the upward pointing arrow button.
After startup do the following:
Erase internal hard drive
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the
       mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the
       drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is
       failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be
       reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the
       DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the
       drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
       (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
       GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait
       until the process has completed.
Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the left side dropdown menu.
3. Select the Destination volume from the left side dropdown menu.
4. Be sure the Block Copy button is not selected or is ghosted.
5. Click on the Clone button.
Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.
Malware Protection
As for malware protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. Starting with Lion Apple has included built-in malware protection that is automatically updated as necessary.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection:
1. Mac Malware Guide.
2. Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware
3. Macintosh Virus Guide
For general anti-virus protection I recommend only using ClamXav, but it is not necessary if you are keeping your computer's operating system software up to date. You should avoid any other third-party software advertised as providing anti-malware/virus protection. They are not required and could cause the performance of your computer to drop.
Cache Clearing
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache files can cause slowness, kernel panics, and other issues. Although this is not a frequent nor a recurring problem, when it does happen there are tools such as those above to fix the problem.
For emergency cleaning install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (AppleJack works with Snow Leopard or earlier.)
Installing System Updates or Upgrades
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Backup and Restore
Having a backup and restore strategy is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer. Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Deja Vu
3. SuperDuper!
4. Synk Pro
5. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. Avoid installing utilities that rely on Haxies, SIMBL, or that alter the OS appearance, add features you will rarely if ever need, etc. The more extras you install the greater the probability of having problems. If you install software be sure you know how to uninstall it. Avoid installing multiple new software at the same time. Install one at a time and use it for a while to be sure it's compatible.

MacPro hangs when restart/shut-down.... help/info please..

Hello. I have a Mac Pro 3.0GHz. The problem I am having is that when I go to shut down, the system hangs for apx 3-5 minutes before rebooting/shutting down. How can I find out if there is a process that is causing this or if it is something else? The finder shuts down and the background remains on the screen during this time. The only way to speed the process is to hold the power button for 5 sec and kill the machine. The machine never used to do this. I want the system to reboot immediately like it used to.
Help / information appreciated.
Thanks,

When there is a thread of 50+ users (which often means, with multiple postings from each, 100s of messages) that may get our attention.
A few, even half a dozen is not many, or a lot.
Anyone who has ever done any testing, or had to isolate a problem, controls for variables, rules out 3rd party hardware and software.
These forums are user to user. Was it 10 yrs ago when they first started that there were Apple mods and replies that had Apple's logo? no longer.
Yes, there is a way to find out what causes an "A + B = C" to occur.
And that is why it takes 1000s of beta testers, too.
As for grain of salt, I'm biased. I think we all try to keep discussions focused and with as much in reality-based known fixes and help. Any help though often has to follow from a fresh system and careful observation, and then taking notes, and not making changes for a few days with each step.
I would look for something in your system, but not in stock hardware or from Apple software though.

Hi, My mac book pro starts lag, after shut down is still the same. Every application is taking 3-6 seconds to open, if I type something in Word letter appears only after 2 - 4 seconds, Whats going on and how to fix it ?

Very slow performance
Even after shutting it down and restarting still the same.
Laggin a lot
Please help!!!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
A possible cause of a slow user interface is a large set of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Another possible cause is iCloud activity, especially Photo Stream synchronization. If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane and see whether there's an improvement.
Otherwise take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message. You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Equium A210 shuts down automatically & What is the Toshiba HW Setup icon?

To start Toshiba Utilities I have been instructed to click on the Toshiba HW Setup icon on my control panel. There is no such thing on mine. What's the point of unzipping upgrades and utlilties to my 'Unzipped' file if they are just going to stay there?
Also my Equum A210 keeps closing itself down after a few hours use, and I lose everything I am working on. Why is this? I have only had it 2 months.
Pete

Hi
Toshiba HWSetup you can find in the Toshiba Assist.
This Toshiba Assist should be placed on your desktop.
Reading your shut down issue;
Possibly the notebook overheats because of high temperature inside the notebook.
Mostly the temperature increases to a higher level because the cooling modules dont run faster due to the dust and debris
I that case you will have to clean the ventilators using an i.e compressed air spray.
Another problem could be the fresh air circulation please ensure that the cooling grilles are always free and that there is enough free space around the notebook for a properly air circulation
Best regards

When the computer is off, press the power button again and log in. The Console window should be at the front of your screen. Skim through the messages and look for any obvious hangs or repeated messages.

Why is it that saves from flash games always get deleted when I shut down the browser?

I'm on the website Kongregate, and I'm playing gemcraft labyrinth, which saves automatically (you can even see the save file when you exit to the main menu of gemcraft), but whenever i close the browser, the info is gone.

Is that data saved in a Flash cookie or in a normal cookie or as a file on your computer?
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear cookies.

Why does SL automattically turn back on when I shut down?

Why does my mac mini automatically restart when I shut down? I shut down via the normal methods (apple menu, Shut down...) and as the shut down process finishes the computer automatically restarts and goes to the log in screen, If I shut down via the log in screen it turn's off. What gives?
Shouldn't it just shut down when I ask it to and not return me to the log in interface ?
Help please.Thanks all.

Seems that some process is calling it back.

Probably a process in your account and not systemwide.
Go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. BShutdown and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Test.
EDIT: Also, unmount & disconnect all peripherals except Apple keyboard & mouse.
