Need help with new iMac

I got this new 21.5 imac mid 2011 with lion but my concern is sometimes I need to press the power button twice for the imac to power on. Once I had it on and shut it down it won't repeat the problem until I don't use it for a certain period of time. Can some help me with this?

So she is able to purchase apps without them going and clogging up my itunes... NOW this is the bit i need help with...
How can i transfer any music i have on my itunes to her itunes? and vice versa?
Thanks in advance

Right, I have now gone down the line of setting up a new user on my macbook, her own ID and then with the help of Mr google, I followed the steps of sharing my music, by moving my itunes media folder to a shared folder.
Now i got my music on her itunes libary but when i did a test download of an app, it wont show in the library. I have even done the 'transfer purchases'. and its still not showing. I am slowing loosing the will to live with it! I really need help.

Need help with new 8310

Just upgraded from earlier blackberry and have two problems I need help with!
First, in rearranging the icons my browser icon disappeared and I can't get it back even when I use the show all function. Any ideas?
Second, unlike my earlier blackberry, messages I sent from my office laptop are not appearing in my messages. What setting do I need to tweak? I like my blackberry to show all the messages sent from or received by the laptop.
Thanks.
Lauren

My BB setting was to not hide sent messages, but the problem I think has to do with the settings on syncing with my computer. Messages I send from the blackberry show up as sent - but I want the BB to match completely with the email on my computer - show every email received and every email sent. That was how the old BB was set up. Any ideas on what else to tweak either on the desktop or the BB? Thanks for your help.

Hard drive crash need help with new iTunes load and backup files

I have looked through the posts and not found my situation.
I had my iPhone synced to a PC computer and the hard drive crashed. I had an extensive library in iTunes, but none of the music was purchased online so I can't simply download it again. It was all from CD's, many of which belonged to friends. I now have an iMac. The music I like is still on my iPhone, but not on my new iMac. When I try to sync the iPhone with my iMac it wants to delete all the music on my iPhone. Is there any way to copy the music off my iPhone first - so I can add it back into my iTunes library?

Yes, luckily I have been in this situation.
You can download a free application that will take your music from your iPhone and place it onto your Macintosh HD.
One of these should suit your needs:

Need help with new FCP5-won't play!

The mac store told me that the new imac G5 is what I needed for using FCP5.
I'm beginning to wonder.
When I try to play the video form the training disk, it skips, then stops. A message comes up saying it had to drop frames. I'm new at this and spent hours already with the help articles, trying to adjust settings, etc.
Wondering why this new imac needs adjusting to play video.
This is just the training video that comes with the book on a DVD and on a new imac with no other programs!
Any ideas???
Running on imac G5, 512 MB RAM.

Thank you.
Yes, it's on the hard drive.
The mac "specialist" who sold me this computer never mentioned needing an external hard drive, said this is all I need! I was ready to get the power mac and wish i hadn't listened to the "specialist".
So, I need an external hard drive for this program?
I've got 148 GB available on my internal hard drive.
What size then external do I need?
--Book? My mac didn't come with a book.--

Need help with my iMac ... it keeps freezing up on me no matter what I do.

Hello all,
I need help to figure out why my iMac keeps on freezing up on me. I used to have Norton SystemWorks installed but I recently uninstalled it because I found out it was poison to Mac OS X. I've used Memtest to check the memory in my iMac. The result of the test came up fine.
You can go to 'Cooling fans for iMac?' (one of my post) to read all of the solutions I have tries out. This post is the original post to try to fix the problem but it FAILED.
In the last week, I've backed up all of my data to my external hard drive. Then I totally erase my internal hard drive and made sure to zero out the drive. After, I proceeded to install Mac OS 9. I had some problems installing the system at first. I finally installed Mac OS 9 and upgraded it to the latest version of 9. Next, I tried to install Mac OS X 10.3 with difficulty. I then finally installed it. I notice during and after installing the both OSs, my iMac keep on freezing. After I installed Mac OS X 10.3, I updated the OS. And yes, while updating the OS, I've experience the same problem as before. I now have my system back to where it was before I did a fresh install of both Mac OS 9 and X.
You guest it, my iMac is still freezing up on me no matter what I do. Can someone please help me with this problem? Can he/she tell me what is going on with my iMac and how to fix it? All the help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks for you time and effort.
P.S. After trying all of the previous suggestions from other users, I came to an conclusion that one of the hardware in my iMac my be failing. I know for curtain it is NOT my memory. It my be something else inside my iMac.

Rainbow -
I've read the thread you linked to above and the only thing I find missing in the saga is any mention of the PRAM battery. If it is depleted (and it would be getting close to depletion if it has never been replaced) it could be causing your problem.
Do you see any strangeness in the time or date displays? That would be a sure sign that the battery is dying. I haven't run into the problem of a bad battery causing constant freezing but it wouldn't hurt to check it out.
As far as temperature effects, the usual pattern of overheating would be a shutdown of the whole computer, a designed-in precaution.
Forgive the battery tutorial if you've already dealt with that possibility.

Need help with new Time Capsule/Airport express setup!

I just hooked up a 500g time capsule to replace an airport extreme, and now my airport utility on my MacbookPro Retina no longer recognizes the airport expresses I had on my network for airplay purposes. Can anyone help with this issue?

Instead of a switch you need a wireless router, because your modem will only assign one public ip address to the switch and that ip address will be forwarded to any one computer at a given time...You should replace the switch with a wireless router and it should resolve your concern...

Need Help with new site glitches PLEASE!!!

I need help trouble shooting a website. The site is
www.farrowandwatkins.com. Nav buttons on Mac they display correctly
which is aligned at top and bottom of content to left on Home page.
However, when viewed on PC, the buttons spread to fill the
distance of the "Patients" Page. All the pages spread to this
length also, but are not suppose to.
Nav buttons have padding of 10 on bottom, except last one.
Please help if you can

First guess would be that there doesn't seem to be a fixed
height or width on the cell for the 'patients' button.

Need help with new email problem

Hi friends . . . I'm not sure if this is a forum that could help me figure out my new problem . . . but I'll give it a try. . .I need some help . . . My email is sometimes being sent to the wrong address. Instead of my Yahoo address, they're sent to AOL instead. At first I thought this was an eBay or Paypal problem, but other mail that I subscribe to is all of a sudden going to AOL instead of my Yahoo address . . .In all of these cases, the AOL address was never registered with the site. I'm not using an external POP mail program . . . just standard Yahoo mail with iMac and Firefox. Anyone have any clue what's going on . . . .thanks in advance for any help . . .

I need help with a iMac problem my brother has!

Hello! So my brothers old iMac (around 2-3 years old) would just not start. When i pressed the start button on the back of the computer the screen just turned white with a apple logo in the middle and the typical wheel spinning. We waited for about 30 minutes but still nothing. My friend told me to hold shift+command+r+p and that brings up a menu after a while if i want to restore from time machine, reinstall max os x, get help on the internet or so some stuff with the discs. The last 2 things are not important tho. When i then press "restore from timemachine" or something it starts to search for a backup. After 10 minutes it still hasnt found one. So i went back and clicked "reinstall mac os x" and it showed the disks i was going to install the new mac os x software on.
There was one called "Macintosh HD" and one called "Recovery HD". But they both were locked and i could not install mac os x beacause they were the only 2 disks there. Macintosh HD was about 600GB memory and 150GB free and the other one was only about 600MB. How can i fix this? It would be nice if we could restore the computer back to before because he had some things from school but if it dosnt work we can do a full new mac os x so it is all new and no programs/users on it. I hope you understood what i said because my english is not that good
Its OS x 10.8.4 i think, might be 10.8.2/3 or something xD

I suggest verifying that your hard drive is OK. First power off the system, then hold down the Command and R keys to get into the Mac OS X recovery mode. Once you select your language you can run Disk Utility to determine whether your hard drive is functioning correctly. I suggest using the 'Repair Disk' and Repair Disk Permissions' options. If Disk Utility finds problems (SMART errors) then you will need to get them resolved before proceeding. I believe too many SMART errors can lock your drive.
I also suggest reviewing the following Apple website describing the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program to see if your system is affected. The program has been around for quite awhile. According to the document, eligibility may have ended April 12th depending on when you purchased the system, but it's worth checking.

I need help with my iMac g5!

Hello everyone,
This is my first time with a Mac so i don't know much about them yet. I just bought a used imac g5 running Mac OS X 10.3.5. The previous owner had a password but turned it off and somehow i turned it back on some i'm locked out. So i found online how you can reset your password without any discs and i found a way to elegidley "trick" your mac to think it was new so i tried it and royally screwed up my mac. First i tried "launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist" and it did nothing. Heres what i did that screwed it up: At startup i pressed Command+S to open the command prompt. I typed "mount -uw /" then i typed "rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" then "Shutdown -h now". The first time it did nothing the second time it screws up my mac royally. Now when i turn on the PC it chimes, loads Mac and then takes me to a blue screen with an blank dialog box. My ouse pointer show up and i can move the diolog box but thats it i can't shut it down or anyhing! and i the only way to shut it down is the power button which is bad. What the heck did i do???? Did i destroy it? can it be fixed? and how much will it cost? What's going on? and why am i getting a blue screen with a blank box?? I have no apple discs but i read on a Apple Community form that Apple can send you one for free is that true?
Help me!!!!!!!!

Welcome!
I have no apple discs but i read on a Apple Community form that Apple can send you one for free is that true?
Not entirely true. If you are in the US, phone the Apple Store at 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for an operating system specialist. Give them the serial number of your computer and they will use that to see if they still have system software disks for that exact model.
If they do, there is a nominal charge of about US$16 for creating and shipping the replacement disks. However, the older the computer, the less likely that they will have something.

Need help with new website!

I have seen this on another website before, but this website
has been changed. Therefore, I cannot give an example of what I'm
showing, but I can try to explain it.
I would like to know how I can have a scroll list of videos.
I know how to create this, but I am unsure about how I can
make a video, when clicked, show up on the same page.
I do not at all want to have to make a seperate html page for
each video.
I am very novice, and I need your help.
Please post suggestions.

If you are very novice, then I think you are reaching too
far. You would
need to spend some time with the books before attempting to
do something
like this. Can you?

Need help with new K8N Ne02

I just installed this board, coming from an nForce2. I'm trying to learn the new BIOS settings. Here are a few questions if you could help me out. I'm currently using BIOS 1.3. I have the beta 1.41 and 1.37. Which is best? See my sig for hardware details. BTW, I'm at work typing from memory from one night with the board looking for answers to employ when I get home tonight. I'm an experienced OCer, but new to this chipset.
1. Is there a pre-fetch option for the SATA controllers. If so, do I
want it on? Seems like I saw this but it's not in the on-line
manual.
2. Max Memlock? Auto?
3. High Performance Mode?
4. Agressive Timing?
5. HT Frequency? X * HTF 6. Where's the memory divider for asyncronous control?
7. There are two settings for the vcore voltage, but can't remember
what they're called. How do these work together? What's
considered the max safe, like 1.85v was on SocketA?
8. Any known PCI conflicts? Manual IRQ settings necessary? Which
slots are best?
9. Anything else I need to know?

1) Not in the BIOS - might be a registry tweak or implemented in the drive's firmware.
2) Depends if you're running a RAM divider
3) Set to "manual"
4) Depends if your RAM can handle it - best to leave off and tweak other settings manually
5) Generally, yes.
6) see 2) - Max memclock acts as the divider
7) They're fairly intuitive - you can set Vcore by either cpu Vid or manual, and then overvolt by the desired percentage.
8) Manual IRQ settings are virtually never needed anymore, and there shouldn't be a problem with conflicts.
9) Try the Overclocking forum.

Need help with new Mac Pro (2012)

Hi for everyone!
Few days ago, I bought a new Mac Pro (Mid 2012) MD770LL/A for my recording studio. The workstation is really powerfull and silent, but it has one major problem for me: computer comes with pre-installed Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion, and as I understand, I can't install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on this machine. In this case, some plug-ins and instruments, that critical for my works are unavailable for me now. For example - MusicLab RealGuitar and RealLPC thru the VST to RTAS adapter (I'm using Pro Tools in my studio) don't working correctly on a Lion OSX. Unfortunately, I can't find any solution, to fix it... Even on an official support website of that software developers. Secondary, I still need Rosetta for some applications.
In that situation, my studio can't fully work.
So, what I should do??? WHY is officialy impossible to install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a new Mac Pro, if its components is absolutely identic with Mac Pro 2010, that supported Mac OS X Snow Leo???
Thanks!
With a big hope for a help!
Alexey

Hi!
Good news for anyone, who wants to install Mac OS X 10.6.x on a Mac Pro 2012!!!
As it turned out, the original installation DVD disc from the Mac Pro 2010, fully compatible with Mac Pro 2012! The images of DVD is quite possible to find on the Internet. Just checked on my system - boot from the fresh-burned disc, and Mac OS X 10.6.4 installed without problems! After that, updated to 10.6.8 - and it works!
Personally for me - it is great news!
Everyone have a nice day! Thanks!:-)
