New 10.5.6 problem.

Hi all you nice volunteers. I hope this post of mine doesn't count as a "re-post", but my problem hasn't been answered and I have another one, and can't find any solutions in the forum. So here it is and please some one give me a clue.
Old unsolved problem "My iPhoto program takes about 3 minutes to load, since 10.5.6 .?
NEW problem " When I shut my computer down and start again the next day (or restart). My monitor screen back light goes about 2/3 down to very dim lighting and my speaker turns off completely to Zero.
I mean it's not very hard to fix that with the key pad as you know, but why? What's going on?
Any help is appreciated. Sincerely the old guy.

Caroline you are so nice. Meanwhile I had figured it out to use the first install disk. Everything is fine.
And thank you for your empathy. It's no big deal and I live in a Senior home in downtown Los Angles with a spectacular view over the city. But taking my Mac to Apple, they charge a arm and a leg for just filling out the paperwork.... Please see my response to your help below.
"Do still think I have a logic board problem?" It's impossible to be sure without taking it in to have it checked. Run the Apple Hardware Test as I describe below.
I went to the Apple store about a year or so and asked them why my hard ware test didn't work. They told me since I had an upgrade from one OS to another (I think from Panther to Tiger or something like that, I can't recall) it wouldn't work anymore and threw my Hardware Disk in the trash with the comment "It isn't very reliable anyway". So I figured it isn't very important if they say so, and I never had a hardware disk again. I figured DiskWarrior was good enough.
"So the iPhoto still needs still 2 minutes to load, but maybe (?) that is normal for load"
A 4GB iPhoto library is going to slow iPhoto from launching as quickly as it used to for sure.
That is good to know and I am in no rush. But basically I thought with the upgrade it would open even faster then the 15 sec. it always opened up before. Had always about the Same size 4 GB.
So it looks like things are pretty much back to normal on my laptop but for the DiskWarrior program that crashes. Isn't that ironic?
Before I will thank you again for your help I will come back here and tell you the DiskWarrior results.
Have a great day, sincerely Volker.

I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
Any guidance? Thanks.

The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes. I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever. My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems. I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions. So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme? I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did. Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems? I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.
**Glad they didn't "moderate into extinction" your post yet, lol, Thank

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?.

I have an iMac4.1 and my iPhoto is very slow and the thumbnails correspond to the wrong pictures. How do I fix this? Or is my iMac too old? Will getting a new iMac solve this problem?
I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem. Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos? Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.

New MacBook Air camera problem

Got my new macbook air (mid 2012) and camera doesn't show anything:
Mac recognizes the FaceTime HD Camera (on System Information),
but when turning on FaceTime / Photobooth / Skype etc.. the loading icon just stay
on the screen and nothing else come up.
Already installed all software updates and tried setting up a new user - still same problem.
I use OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on Macbook air 13.3" Mid 2012.
What should I do?

Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

I have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

i have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

FCE was discontinued nearly 3 years ago and is no longer supported.
I don't know whether it's possible to install it on Mavericks and if you do it may not perform properly.
Final Cut pro X and iMovie are the only Apple apps that are supported.

hello, im unable to make an icloud account on my iphone, because whenever i make an account, a messege appears that this device has enough accounts so you can not make a new one, so the problem is that i dont konw about the perevious accounts, what should i do to delete pervious accounts and create a new one?

The problem is that there is a limit for creating new iCloud accounts from a device and if the previous owner already created three accounts with this iPhone you bought from him, then you would have to use another device in order to create a new one.

Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
Thanks,
