One website creates havoc with my iMac - what can be done?
I am an administrator for our church website. When I go on it to work, after about 10 minutes either Safari or Firefox, whichever I'm using, freezes completely. I have to force quit and restart about every 10 minutes. In fact it isn't only that it freezes, the website plays havoc with my computer. I took two days to dump preferences, use disk utility, get mail back on line and it was working perfectly. Last night I went on the website, and instantly, the computer froze and I lost not only what I'd just posted but an entire page of other information!
I've done enough testing now to know this only happens on that website. First of all, is this even possible that a website can do such damage? I'm on websites all day and have never had anything like this. I post on chatboards with no difficulty; no problem with Facebook. If it is possible, then is there something I can do to fix this? I love working on the website but I can't continue this way. I wondered if this is a frequent enough problem that someone might know a setting or some other adjustment that needs to be made to my Mac to make it work.
I don't know if this is related to 10.6 or not because I have only done the website since I installed Snow Leopard. I have written the company who owns the site to see if they know of anything, but this is really mystifying. It is stunning what 5 minutes on the website will do to my computer! It is almost completely inoperable until I dump some preferences and do other things.
Thanks for any insight you might have.
One other thing I've noticed is that the problem worsens over time. When I first go on, it is okay...then in 10 minutes it is starting to act very strangely, and at 15 minutes, the whole thing is frozen. Then I dump the Safari preference files and restart and it works wonderfully....for 10 minutes.
Then the fireworks start. Today, weird pages were flashing up that I've never seen before....like the introductory page to Safari..."Welcome to Safari 4.1" I've never seen that page in my life. It's more than just freezing, it goes crazy. Because it starts to work again when I dump the prefs, It seems like something is corrupting them. To have to dump them every 15 minutes is really strange.

White screen of death with some text, what can be done?
Anybody knows what can be the reason for this particular screen? What can be done?
I bought over eBay, and discovered that the logicboard was changed...
Tried few times to restore, but same results.. sometimes the screen becomes completely red.
The display works fine, from time to time it starts correctly and I can activate the phone and play around.
I tried DFU, but I get the error 4013 in iTunes during the restore, then it switches to recovery mode and a further restore gets interrupted.
Is there any deeper way to completely wipe phone's firmware, to make sure there is absolutely no software issue?
Or should I bring it to the Genius bar?

I don't have a credit card to create a Child ID. What can I do to create one?
I don't have a credit card to create a Child ID. What can I do to create one?
That's not the point. A credit card with a security code is required to "prove" you are a parent in order to set up a child's account in Family Sharing. You can change your payment method right back, Apple says, to a debit card THAT ALSO HAS A SECURITY CODE. If you are a parent without a credit card you can't access Family Sharing for all family members. Apple doesn't care if you're in debt and don't have a card or have freed yourself from the horrible credit card system. It's crap.

I have created an encrypted disc to prevent others from seeing certain videos but they can still be opened with Garageband. What can I do to?

The disc WAS injected when I first discovered that. It doesn't sto garageband (maybe other apps too) from reading & opening the files. -

Hi my name is Hajk and i got a friend that has a problem with her macbook, she gets a blue screen and cant log on. So i told her if she had an reinstall disk so that i could reinstall for her but she didn't get one with the macbook. what can she do ?
If this is a fairly new Mac running either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion she can use Lion or Mountain Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.

My G5 iMac has a screen color problem. The color is green with lines. What can I do to repar this? Sometimes the screen will freeze and I have to reboot the computer and the screen will be normal for up to 5-6 hours and then suddenly changes back to a greenish color.
Try running in Safe mode. This leaves out some video drivers. Which results in machine not using advanced video hardware.
for more details see:
Look through this thread. see the second page.

if I install Windows 7 on iMac (what we have done many times and it works very good) does windows support the fusion drive?

Fusion Drive is created by software on OS X. On a computer with Fusion Drive, Windows is installed on the HDD, but when you install the Boot Camp drivers, you will be able to read Macintosh HD, so it looks like it supports Fusion Drive but only for read -
does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...
I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else. -
"app.selection[0]" – what can be done with it? (CS5)/(CS6)(JS)
This is hopefully not a simple question – because then the answer would probably be 'no'/'nothing else'.
What can be done with a selection? Is it posible to sort out the different contents within a selection, declare variables around them or give them names, and then continue from there?
I have one specific idea here. I want to select two things – one is a group, and the other is a non-grouped object, and then include that object in the original group. No – not the same as selecting them and simply grouping them, that could be done by hand. I want to include an object in a previously set group without creating another one.
It has to do with a plugin used for creating apps for mobile devices. Creating another group out of the group + item makes all previous settings assigned to the original group dissapear. Not sure if the plugin will accept this method, but it's worth a try.Hm. This now is pure speculation on my side, 'cause you are not telling much about the plugIn that has to do with app creation.
From my knowledge of Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, and I cannot assume that you are using the DPS plugIns "Folio Builder" and "Overlay Creator", I can only guess, that you applied something like an effect (in terms of DPS an "overlay" function) to a group and afterwards grouping anew with a different object to a new group. Then the overlay is burried in that group and will not work as you expected.
I never asked myself if it will damage an applied "overlay", if the object is grouped with something that has an different "overlay" effect or no "overlay" effect at all. But I will test for that situation…
After re-reading your question you like to add the same "overlay" effect of the original group to the new group or adding a new object to the group so the effect is not lost.
In case you are working with DPS, the overlay effects are "injected" with a method you can compare directly with the JavaScript method insertLabel("KeyString","ValueString") and will stick to the object until the values are changed or the object (your group) will not exist any more (by un-grouping).
So please, tell us something more about your workflow…
It's not that easy to add an existing object to a group without un-grouping and re-grouping. And this will destroy the "injected" Key/Value-pairs of the effect.
Here is something to think about (read the whole discussion):

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAMHi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again. -
I cannot start my iMac, what can I do?
I cannot start my iMac, what can I do?
Start with the basics:
• Check the fuse in the power lead by trying another rated fuse.
• Double check that the power lead is fully pushed into it's recess in the back of the Mac; it should sit flush with the surround.
• Check the power socket by plugging in something else like a hair dryer etc.
If all that checks out then you have a problem which you probably won't be able to resolve, especially if the iMac won't physically power-up.
I would suggest packing it up and taking it back to where you bought it from in that case. -
I have an I mac with Lion and the curser freezes, what can be done.
I have an I mac with Lion and the curser freezes. It froze in Word, Safari, Iphoto, and photoshop, what can be done?.
4GB of RAM is not very much RAM these days particularly if you tend to have many windows open at one time. For example if you are working in Safari and have several tabs open and then work on a Photoshop project that will eat a lot of RAM. One simple way to check is open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and click the System Memory tab. Run this under typical use and check the amount of FREE RAM. It will look something like:
I can see from my example I am dangerously low on RAM by the amount of free RAM I have. I suspect if you upgrade to 8, 12 or even 16GB of RAM your machine would work much better. BTW ...my MacBook Air is limited to 4GB so it's up to me to manage my RAM better. -
Burned iMovie .mov to DVD and it caused movie to skip/have weird transitions between scenes and sound to not match with picture. What can I do to help fix this when reburning?
Movie details
QuickTime Movie
Size: 17.95 GB
Duration 17:39
2 audio channels
Codecs- Linear PCM, Apple ProRes 422, Timecode
Thanks!!You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see. -

Unfortunately, there are no recent versions of Firefox for MacOS X 10.3. You might have been using the ancient Firefox 2, last updated in December 2008, and no longer safe for browsing (too many security vulnerabilities to recommend).
The Camino browser is based on some of the same underpinnings as Firefox and was updated more recently, in March 2010. Maybe that's worth a try? http://caminobrowser.org/releases/1.6.11/
Hopefully you can find a more up-to-date version of Safari.
