My iMac has a bizarre freezing problem---can anyone help?
Frequently these days, my machine will freeze---
---the mouse and cursor won't work.
---the keyboard won't respond.
However, during these freezes, iTunes will still play, and my screensaver/wallpaper will eventually kick in, so at least some part of the computer works.
When I hit the restart switch, the machine will go all the way through startup, to the login screen, but most of the time, the mouse/cursor will still be frozen, and I will not be able to login using the keyboard.
Usually I will have to hit the switch again, and the same thing will happen. Frozen cursor, nonresponsive keyboard at login screen.
The only time I seem to get a full restart, with everything working, is when I hit the switch a third time, or else leave the machine shut down for a few minutes and then restart. I have no idea why this is the case
My HD has about 2 GB of space available out of the 38 or so, and I have not received any disk space warnings, so I don't think that's the cause.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
DannySince everything else appears to function normally during these "freezes" I'm led to believe that the problem is related to either your USB ports, or your USB keyboard/mouse. The first thing you can try is connecting the devices to different USB ports. Secondly, are you using the included Apple keyboard and mouse, or third party devices? If you're using third party devices, I'd suggest turning the computer off, and connecting your Apple devices, then continuing to use the computer as normal. If the mouse/keyboard continue to freeze, it sounds as though the USB ports may not be working correctly. But, let us know what happens after trying these suggestions.

when open photoshop a message came up saying photoshop has given up waiting for assesment of the display driver. enhancements that use the graphics hardware have been disabled... can anyone help?
The best thing to do is to go into Help > System Info, copy and paste the contents into your reply.
One of us or several should be able to sort it out for you.

Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.
I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on. -
Hi I am trying to uninstall a previous version of itunes or download a newer version and I get the following error message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" can anyone help please?
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

I just bought and backed up my computer and time machine with a "Seagate BackUp Plus for Mac". Now my time machine is empty. Panicked. can anyone help?
Lets start over...
Please restart the network.. shut down everything..
Restart in order.. modem.. router.. if different to TC.. or TC.. client devices.. wait 2min between each startup.
If the TC does not show up on the computer, in finder.. then we need more info.. what OS are you running?
Does the TC show up in Airport utility? Are you running wireless or ethernet?
If you still have issues.. plug the TC directly into the computer by ethernet.
Do a full factory reset of the TC.. and see if it now shows up.
Please tell us exactly what model TC it is and how old.. the A1xxx model number from the base will help if you don't know.
You take a screen shot of the TC opened in finder.
eg..
My TC is named Tardis4.. click on it.. and then open the data folder.. on this one called Tardisdata.
Then take a screen shot of it so we can see what the problem is.. screenshot.. with area selection.. control + shift + 4 .. the picture goes into the desktop.. and then you click the picture icon in the posting web page controls and select the picture. -

the change to small screen icon in top right hand corner of screen has stopped working. Can anyone help.
When you use the maximize/restore button, the window is restored to its last size. Some websites use a script to enlarge the window to its maximum size so when you switch from maximized to restored you hardly notice any change. You may have to manually resize the window by dragging the lower right corner. Does that help, or is the button just completely not working??

Old I-tunes accepted both my i-pods - now it only accepts one and tells me the second cannot be synched as a duplicate name has been used.
There is no explanation as to what I must do to put this right....can anyone help with this? Thanks.If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

My computer has Windows 8. I keep getting an error message when I try to download Itunes 11----Invalid signature. Can anyone help?
That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
