My Mac desktop became unplugged from the monitor, I reinstalled everything but it is running slow now
Recently my 3+ year old Mac desktop monitor became unplugged while the power was on. I had to reinstall everything and went through a tough time doing so as I don't really know much about computers. I feel now my Mac is running slow and photo booth is quitting unexpectedly and such. What the heck did I do here? Can I be fixed? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks
Why in this would you want or need to do any thing other than reconnect??
Maybe something else you aren't saying and left out? power outage?
unplugging a computer would.
Not having a UPS is even what I consider unwise.
not having bootable backups is another.
And is this forum for what you have? obviously not still using PowerPC iMac.

I'd downloaded many apps from the apps store but they're all dissappeared on my homescreen. I found them on purchased apps from the apps store as well, but still cannot run. Help. I'm using iphone 5s n latest version of ios.
Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya. -
iMac was accidentally unplugged and I lost connection to the mouse and the keyboard and it will not reconnect. Need help.
Get any usb mouse connected and open the Bluetooth pane in system preferences to re pair your Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
You may also need a usb keyboard if your system is password protected. -
My Desktop Mac won't startup, it turns on to the grey screen flashing question file. I have been able to startup from the snow leopard install cd but once I try to repair within DU the disk never appears in the side panel. The only thing there is "Media"... What can I do? Help!
If Disk Utility cannot see your drive it doesn't look good.
You could try DiskWarrior. It is expensive but can often fix directory structures where DU cannot.
Replacing the drive is also a strong likelihood. If you don't have a fairly recent backup, then it might be worth buying DiskWarrior
additonal notes;
Gray screen appears during startup -
I was trying to move my photos from the iPhoto library to an external hard drive. I now have a desktop display of thousands of cascading photos. How do I remove them from my desktop screen?
Strangely enough we can not see you so it really helps if you share with use exactly what you have, exactly what you did and details about the problem
what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What exact steps did you do? where are you seeing these "thousands of cascading photos" now and using what software and what exactly did you want to accomplish
The correct way to move your iphoto library to an external drive is to verify the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journal) and then drag the iphotl library intact as a single entity to is
The correct way to move some or all of your photos is to select them in iphoto and export 9file menu ==> export -- https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921 ) to the external drive

Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!! How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??
We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!! -
Has anyone removed the stand from the monitor?
I love my 30" Cinema Display, but it sits too high on my desk, and find myself tilting my head up to see towards the top of the screen. I hate the thought of modifying the work of art that it is, but if I removed the stand, it would sit perfectly at eye-level. Obviously, I would have to make a stand/support to allow it to be free-standing. Either that or modify the desk itself. Has anyone tried removing the stand from the monitor? Feedback?
As NullUnit mentioned, it is quite easy to remove the stand but you will need the VESA adapter kit to replace it. This will give you the standard 100mm VESA mounting holes that you would then connect to any mounting arm you wish.
Personally I bought this MX Desk Mount Arm as it was rated to hold the weight of the display (~30#) whereas others were not (~18#). I originally mounted the display in a vertical/portrait orientation but the arm didn't go high enough so I had to mount a 6" block of wood to my desk first. I enjoyed the monitor so much that I have since moved it to become my primary monitor. The arm allowed me to lower the display all the way to my desk so I could just look over it (to watch TV). Couldn't have if it was still on the stand.
Hope this helps. -
On the moment that I transfer a scene from the monitor window to the timeline, my audio disapears. In the monitor window the sound is playing well. How can I solve this problem ?
gertdd
Please explain.
You cannot move a clip from the Edit area monitor to the Timeline. When you write "monitor window", are you referring to the Preview Window that opens when you double click a file's thumbnail in Project Assets?
If that is the case, are you waiting for the audio imported to Project Assets to conform fully before you start to work with the import? See bottom right of Expert workspace and the appearance of a progress bar. See any conforming going on there?
Do you get sound for your clip if you drag it from Project Assets to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1 rather than if you drag a trim from the Preview Window to the Timeline (as it appears you are doing).
Please review and consider, and then let me know if I have misinterpreted any of your problem description.
The answers will be in the details.
We will be watching for those details to help us help you.
Thank you.

my iphone 4 doesnt show up in itunes. it is also locked on the 'connect to itunes screen' when unplugged from the computer. help me!
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I just loaded the snow leapord onto the computer and accidently removed the new mac app store icon from the dock and now I can't find it. I guess I need it to buy Lion. How do I get it back? It's not in the mac HD apps file. Thanks
Should be in the Applications folder as "App Store", not as "Mac App Store".
Check first in the Applications folder accessible via that named item in the Dock (also accessible at (hard drive) > Applications).
If it's not there, it may be in the Applications folder for your user: (hard drive) > Users > youraccountname > Applications. -
Where do I get the serial number and product key for the version of AutoCAD LT for Mac that I bought from the ITunes store?
The iTunes Store doesn't sell software for the Mac. I presume you mean the Mac App Store. To the best of my knowledge, no software sold in the Mac App Store has serial numbers nor product keys. For what reason do you think you need them?

My ipod won't let respond once unplugged from the computer
my ipod 4th generation won't let respond once unplugged from the computer.
That's usually a good indication that your iPod battery's is shot and in need of a replacement. If you'd like, Apple can swap out the battery for a flat fee.
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
Otherwise, you can also send it to a third party repair service center that could do the same job for a little less. Google "ipod battery replacement" for different options.

MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall.
There is no water damage or anything. I got that checked at the Apple store. I also have Apple Care + but didnt let them give me a new one yet because I have photos on this that I have no yet backed up that are very important. They are the last photos I have with my grandfather. Can anyone help me. Please!If the phone shows the "connect to iTunes" screen, the data on the phone is most likely lost.
Connecting in recovery mode is your only chance to use the phone again, besides getting it serviced by Apple.
