My macbook is having strange behavior i need to know the reason

It started few months ago, what it happens is that some applications, including google chrome and safari, takes too long to open, right now it took like 5 minutes, then the browser works pretty decent. The other thing that happens is that the spining wheel that appears when something is not responding appers very often, even when I open a folder in finder, or when loading a webpage, or working in text edit. Another thing that happens is that with some applications suddenly my mac frezes and i have to force it to shut down.
I have ran the apple hardware test and it doesn't show any error, also i verified the hard disk with the disk utility and it doesn't show any errors.
I reinstalled OS X and all the applications with all updates but it is still the same.
I changed the RAM of my computer few months ago, but i don't know if that is what causes the behavior,  i know that a common symptom of bad RAM is kernel panic, but my computer has never showed that.
How can i know what is causing these errors?
How can i know if the RAM that i bought is OK?
I have a macbook from late 2009, 2.26 ghz, running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Originally it had 2 gb of RAM, now it has 4gb.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone.  The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

  • I need to know the reason Why Macbook Pro Mid 2012 have yellow tint screen?

    I am confusing about the reason Why Macbook Pro screen have yellow tint color?
    There are few reason that I got from some apple shop saleman(In Thai) and someone in discussion experience.
    First (1), The reason is IPS or PSL Technology made the screen to be yellow tint color.
    Second (2), Someone told me, It is depend on production lot some lot don't have yellow tint screen but, some lot have yellow tint screen.
    Third (3), Someone told me, It is normally case of Macbook Pro Mid 2012. Yellow tint screen will be recovering when using it long time.
    (In the third, I'm not believe. Because, My iPhone 4s got a Yellow tint screen too. And, I used it for 7 months. The screen was the same at 7 month ago)
    I need to know that what is true and what is false.
    I just confuse Plz answer to me.
    And, ...
    Now, I am deciding to buy Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13 ".  I need to know the surely reason. Why Macbook Pro have a Yellow tint Screen?

  • Need to know the reason for rejection

    Hi Team,
    One of my doc( year old one) was rejected with normal message like see the rules of engagement.
    Forum where my doc was rejected - Business Content and Extractors.
    As my guess this is the only one document which was exist on scn about the data sources(FI_SL_XX_TT). Even i shared  my doc along with help of  sap link(reference) as well.Am not sure whether its violated scn rule or not. if its violated please let me know the reason so that we can keep in mind while creating docs/blogs to avoid such incidents.
    Possibility to rejection:
    I heard some users voice about comments(Like thank you or thanks for sharing, well done, etc) at comment section nothing adding value to the docs/blogs. so moderators (or some one may used alert moderator) took my docs/blogs into moderation and delete the unuseful(which are not added value to content) comments. after the actions they released to public review.in that process still 2 or 3 more docs/blogs(mine) in moderation queue. Recently moderators are changed at BW forum, As pending issues at moderation queue they might be rejected.
    So thats why i asked here to know the exact reason.
    Thanks for your time.
    Raman

    H ,
    Thank you colin.
    Its surprised to see my doc now. its visible when clicked on it.
    FI-SL Generated data source 3FI_SL_XX_TT
    But its not showing at my content tab.
    Thanks

  • My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address

    An emergency question to Apple support. My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address of its network card. I have a receipt with the serial number of my MacBook. Can you assist?
    My serial: W8***66D
    Thank you
    p.s Any ideas how I can find it?

    Report the theft to your local authorities.
    Apple has no means of tracking thefts, as thieves themselves may claim the machine is theres just by looking up the information on the computer, and unless you registered the machine, it is really their word against yours, unless you also have receipt or other information that they can track to your receipt against your serial number.
    Your homeowners insurance may be able to recoup the cost.
    In the future, consider getting Lapcop, or Lojack for notebooks.
    Good luck!

  • I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password. Please help.

    I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password.
    All I did was place my phone on the charger, I then walked away for 10-15mins and when I came back it was asking me to enter my Apple ID password.
    I never gave my password out to anyone ever and hardly anyone knows my email address.
    I haven't recently downloaded anything either and I only have one apple device which is my iPhone 5s.
    I just want to know really if it could have been because someone was trying to log into my Apple ID?
    Please help with multiple reasons why this could have happened. I just want to know the options. Thank you

    My iPhone 5s did the same thing yesterday. I have iCloud backup turned on in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and that means it will automatically do a backup when the phone is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. I had it charging and when I returned it was asking for the password and the prompt did identify that it was requesting it for the iCloud backup (something you may not have noticed if you didn't look closely).
    It has never done that before and 2 iPads in my household have not yet done it. All are on iOS 7.1
    I have found a report of the same issue by a user of the 7.1 beta and in that case it was happening every day. In my case I entered the password then went to the same area in Settings as above and used the "Backup Now" button to do a backup. I will see tonight when I charge again whether this is going to be an every day problem.

  • Need to know the sqluery to find the disabled date from OIM 9.1.0.1

    Hi Experts,
    Need very urgent inputs from you all for the preparation of our audit.
    We are using OIM9.1.0.1
    We need to know the sqlquery for finding the Disabled date in OIM given the user ids, as currently we are unable to get the exact data from Historical Reports Option in OIM.
    I need to give in this format:
    select usr_login, usr_disabled from schemaname.tablename where usr_login in
    ('aaa','bbb'..... etc)
    We have three attributes :USR_DISABLED_BY_PARENT,USR_DISABLED,USR_DEPROVISIONING_DATE,but none of them give the exact date,
    USR_DISABLED gives just a flag as 1 or 0.
    Also there are no other fields in the corresponding usr table.
    So how to fetch the exact Disabled date from OIM system when I input the user ids.
    Your immediate response is appreciated.
    Thanks
    SS

    In the entire thread many experts have given nice queries in different formats...
    The best approach would be to open up the SQL Developer, connect with the OIM Database and experiment with all sorts of SQL queries provided by all the experts..
    Learn some SQL techniques, like Inner Join etc...
    Then you yourself will be able to figure out what you need, in exactly which format, for which users and for whom you have to restrict
    Then not only this question, you would be able to solve dozens of similar such issues yourself...
    And trust me, nothing can match that...
    Just in case, you are not familiar with SQL Developer,
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
    Oracle SQL Developer 3.2.1 (3.2.10.09.57)
    September 24, 2012
    The Disabled DATE will be the creation date of that entry in the UPA_FIELDS table when Users.Status changed to Disabled.
    SELECT USR.USR_LOGIN, UPA_FIELDS.CREATE_DATE
    FROM UPA_FIELDS
    WHERE UPA_FIELDS.FIELD_NAME='Users.Status'
    AND UPA_FIELDS.FIELD_NEW_VALUE='Disabled'
    AND UPA_FIELDS.UPA_USR_KEY=USR.USR_KEY
    AND USR.USR_LOGIN NOT IN ('XELSYSADM', 'XELOPERATOR', 'WEBLOGIC');

  • I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.

    I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.
    I am trying to put my iPhone4 into recovery and then will restore it. iTunes starts extracting the software.  But the iPhone reboots and by the time the software has completed extraction, the iPhone can no longer be seen by iTunes. 
    We have a very small hard drive on our laptop.  Each time iTunes does an extraction, it uses up more space on the C: drive. 
    Nothing frees up that used drive space. Not closing iTunes or rebooting the computer. Nothing. 
    How do we release / delete these files?

  • I need to know the right tools and java technology

    Please help,I need to know the right tools and java technology to support what I need.
    I had background programming in Assembly,C++,Visual Basic,SAP/ABAP 4.
    All I can say, programming is about logic, now we are very helped building program using objects.
    I'm very interest to SAP tech, where all screens, programs, reports are resides on tables, this is the real dynamic!
    CUrrently I'm eager to do the same technic with java. I'm new to java....
    What I know the J2EE is the core for me to start is it right? I was very interest with the Client-Server Tech. How can I impelemet this with Java?
    I'm a bit confuse with so many java solutions. There is Java Applets, Swing, Java AWT, JavaBeans, etc...
    I don't know what is the best if I want my Presentation/Client Application will run within browser (not standard html, using like windows gui). What should I do to make business logic objects, how to invoke it within the gui. how to make installation package whenever clients connect to the http server.
    if you have a pointer to do it please let me know.... I'm very appreciate all your response...
    Best regards,
    Lucky Pangemanan

    I'd say - don't get carried away with the heavyweight frameworks. Don't use EJB if Hibernate and/or Tomcat will do the job. There's a danger of winding up using a bulldozer to crack a wallnut.
    What people mean by "J2EE" varies a fair bit.
    Start with Tomcat, which has the virtue of being free. Try some JSPs and servlets.
    Use Applets to do client side presentation only if you must; Applets create an installation overhead on end-users, and some of them can't cope, while others may not have the necessary installation permissions on their office machines. They are pretty rarely needed, IMNSHO, most client-side behaviour is better handled with html and JavaScript.

  • Im about to make a trip to the USA and i need to know the price of an iphone 4s 64GB unlokced please in order to carrie the amount of dollars

    Im about to make a trip to the USA and i need to know the price of an iphone 64GB unlokced please in order to carrie the amount of dollars

    "Same as what? "  US of course.
    So the price of an iPhone in the U.S. is the same as the price of an iPhone in the U.S. ?
    Okay.
    tymcziszyn asked how much an iPhone in the U.S. would cost. Nothing was mentioned about comparing the cost (which you seemed to be attempting to do but your post was a bit short.).
    You really meant that the price of an iPhone purchased in the U.S and then paying import duties and VAT when taking it home would (likely be close to the) same price as if purchased in his home country.
    and what if his home country does not sell the iPhone?
    I understood what you meant but OP may not be native english speaker (though he seems to do well here) so making sure they get the entire message clearly may help.

  • Need to know the path of current Form/Report

    Hi All,
    I need to know the path of the Current Report/Form, but i dont want to use
    get_form_property(:system.current_form,file_name),
    is their any other way for getting the current path from where the report/form is running
    Imran Ahmed

    Hi,
    I dont want to use
    get_form_property(:system.current_form,file_name)
    because it give me the current directory with the form name for eg. (c:\dev6i\temp\abc.fmx) then i have to use
    cur_file_name := get_form_property(:system.current_form,file_name);
    total_length := length(cur_file_name);
    cur_form_name_length := length(get_form_property(:system.current_form,form_name))+4;
    path_length := total_length-cur_form_name_length;
    cur_path:= substr(cur_file_name,1,path_length);
    to get the actual path, and i dont find any function name GET_WORKING_DIRECTORY under WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT theie is get_windows_director and get_temp_directory but not the above, if you have that function then please mail me on [email protected] I also cannot use read_registry(forms_path) because in registry i have different paths.

  • Hello, I have an Ipad 2 and the screen has broked. I need to know the price in US to change it.

    Hello, I have an Ipad 2 and the screen has broked. I need to know the price in US to change it.

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, select the appropriate issue on this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/
    and look at the Out Of Warranty Cost section.
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    Regards.
