Set to Mac App Store and identified developers. Leaving it to Anywhere is not advised. You can always select to install if it's a legitimate app.
I would disable all your plugins and extensions in your browsers. If the problem goes away, add back one at a time and make sure they are fully updated.
Are you still using a Blackberry. Their software is still running.
Make sure Flash is fully updated. Even with it set to automatic it often fails to update. I suggest you also turn it off and see if there is an improvement. many sites will use HTML5 if Flash is not installed. Install YouTube5 Safari extension

Spinning rainbow wheel for long periods on File Open commands in Acrobat and Office 365 programs
Hardware & Software:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)
77GB of free hard disk space
8GB RAM
Running OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2)
Over the last few days, when I try to execute a File Open command from Adobe Acrobat or Office 365 programs (even from an innocuous location such as Documents), I get the spinning rainbow wheel for long periods of time (10 seconds to minutes) before I am able to select a file to open. I copied messages from Console after a File Open command for each of Adobe Acrobat and Excel (the selected location was Documents), given below:

Can anyone give me an idea of what these messages mean and how I can solve this problem?
If I'm not in the correct Community for this question, could someone kindly tell me where I should re-post?
Thanks.
David WalkerYes; I have previously connected to an iMac at this location using File Sharing. However, in my attempts to solve this problem last week, I had already unchecked File Sharing in System Preferences. Tonight, I also deleted the folder from the window in the File Sharing System Preferences page, then rebooted. The problem still persists.
I try not open files across a server line, i.e., I try always to copy a file to the local computer and open it there. I may have gotten careless and tried to open a file from the Windows server with either or both Acrobat and Office 365. Although this was an SMB share, is it possible that these programs are now trying to connect to the Windows server on a File Open?
I had about decided to quit chasing this problem; we spend about two weeks every two months at this Boston location, and I'll be returning to my Florida home this weekend. So I decided I would see what the situation was when I returned to my native habitat, although I may be chasing this problem again in our trip to the Boston area in April.
The other thing I wondered (I guess I can't quite let it go), is whether there is a command line in Terminal that would kill all AFP shares.
In any case, thanks for your help; you're very knowledgeable. -
My Ipod-touch was ios5 when I bought. You recommend to upgrade ios6, because set-up icon always shows me "+". For that on facebook I can't see wall photos. So I want my ipod touch to be back as initial version ios5. How can I do? please tell me.
Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem. I believed the new iPod thing solved the weird behavior problem, but after that the button stopped working.
Do you know how to contact Genius? Because I don't think I can find a store in my area, when I tried to. -
Spinning rainbow wheel for some minutes when apps use file open dialogue
OSX 10.4.4
Powerbook, home Cable via Airport.
Whenever an application such as Firefox or Word (the worst) uses the File browse and open file dialog (Finder like window) I get a spinning rainbow wheel for up to two minutes.
I have tried everything I know to hunt this down, but it happens even when newly booted.
Finder on the other hand is fine.
Any clues what I could look at?My personal experience is that the whole iDisk/WebDAV/Finder thing is hopeless. I keep thinking it will get better, but it doesn't. I've been waiting since Jaguar, and it keeps being "one step forward, two steps back." I have given up on keeping the "official" iDisk on my hard drive. Instead I disabled the local iDisk, keep my own folder with items for my disk, and just use the freeware Goliath when I want to put something from my local files into my iDisk. You will amazed and how much faster Goliath is, and there will be no more agonizing pauses when you try to open or save something.

Fontd process causing Mac to lock up for minutes at a time
Here is a problem and also the solution, (in case you have the same problem):
My Mac (running OS X Lion) was exhibiting a problem whereby it paused for minutes at a time; the mouse moved, but no applications could respond (and they all showed the spinning beachball). Turned out to be a rogue ‘fontd’ process. This is how I fixed it.
So the symptoms were that occasionally applications would stop responding for a minute or two. This would especially happen when I launched a new app or browser window, and also occurred when I logged in after rebooting: it would hang with a near-empty screen, slowly opening my apps, waiting a(n agonising) couple of minutes between each one.
To cut a long story short (long version here: http://dysphoria.net/2012/02/18/mac-keeps-pausing-fontd-run-amuck/ ), the solution was to flush the font cache, as described in a Macworld article here: http://www.macworld.com/article/139383/2009/03/fontcacheclear.html
At the command line:
atsutil databases -removeUser
atsutil databases -remove
atsutil server -shutdown
atsutil server -pingThe next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting. -

I have macbook pro 13" I want to know how to copy files from my mac to the external Toshiba Hard Drive. I can't even delete files from my external hard drive. please help me my macbook HD is almost full and I have to copy my images to the Toshiba HD
To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao. -
i have to upload video from my hewlett packard t200 camcorder to my mac. but mac won't recognize the camcorder files. i even bought flip4mac by tele stream which so far is useless. please help me use my camcorder with my iMac os mountain lion 10.8.2
i tried to get the installation disc for the camcorder but mac wont' recognize it becaue it is windows based i guess.
i just bought the camcorder a few months ago and when my computer crashed thought i'm finally getting a mac...it's been a costly venture which has resulted in more frustration than before my pc.
now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...
helpThat camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you. -

I don't have the up to date system requirements to run iCloud on my mac but would still like to access my email on my mac. I think I need to update my settings, but am not sure what to do. Can anyone help. thanks
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you haven't done so already you need to migrate your mail account to iCloud first and do so IMMEDIATELY at the website Move
Then
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
