Page outs is TWO to THREE TIMES page ins
Have been having much trouble with a slow Macbook and have been reading on this forum for solutions. Please know that I have little understanding of any of this stuff although I do know enough to check Activity Monitor---and my page outs can be 2 to 3 times my page ins. Isn't that really unusual? Is my little Macbook in serious trouble? The spinning beachball and slowness happen usually after I've been using Safari for quite awhile, particularly with lots of tabs and images; if my Trend Microsecurity then decides to update itself, I might as well shut the computer off for the remainder of the night. This is what just happened this afternoon---I got on Safari for the first time today, watched one short video clip, then CRASH---couldn't do anything with any other program or window---then noticed that Trend Micro was updating. I ran Etrecheck at that time (took forever) and then like an idiot somehow lost that log before I could get to this forum. But the page outs were MUCH larger than page ins. Last night when this happened, page outs were 2.85gb and ins were 898.9mb. One reason I'm confused is because Best Buy's "Apple guy" said I didn't need any RAM.
I'm including the Etrecheck I just ran but things have settled down now so I'm not sure it's telling the whole picture:

> It's OK to have 8 gb if I still use Snow Leopard? That site said that OS 7 is required for anything over 8 gb
If you have 8 GB in a 2 x 4 GB configuration you can still run Snow Leopard.
These details are confusing. I myself got confused so I chatted with OWC to straighten it out. If you have any questions you can chat with them yourself. Here is what I learned.
OWC told me if you use the 4 GB chips then you can run Snow Leopard. If you use the 8 GB chips then you must upgrade to 10.7.5 or later (Lion). If you use the 4 GB chips then you can upgrade to Lion or later. I also note (as K implied) that for 8 GB total memory the 2 x 4 GB configuration will run faster than a 1 x 8 GB configuration. So you will want the former. I confirmed the 4 GB chips are compatible with your Model 7,1. (That is also confusing on the web site.)
(K spoke about four slots while your Model 7,1 has two slots but the concept is the same.) You want to fill all slots with memory chips.
MacTracker confirmed you have two memory slots.
Memory Slots 2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
As K said, if you transition to Lion, the old PowerPC applications such as AppleWoks are no longer supported. So if you need these old applications then you would want to run Snow Leopard. If and when you need the Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks features you can upgrade to those OSes.
If you ordered a 1 x 8 GB configuration then don’t sweat it. OWC will gladly take it in return for a 2 x 4 GB configuration. That is why we recommend OWC and Crucial. They give excellent customer service. To be polite I would return the package unopened. You can chat with them on their live chat line or on the phone about a return, if needed.

For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh. Sometimes it refreshes for no obvious reason. For instance, I'll be in the middle of typing into a forum's post block & it refreshes. Or filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.
You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day. We have several phones in our office and the ones that have updated (4) now have issue holding a charge/battery life. I really liked this phone and can not believe that you are now going to charge us $79 a battery to fix what is most definately a problem with your latest update. I know other people outside of our company that are having the same problem. Not to mention when I called AT&T it was confirmed to me that they are hearing the same issue and then some from other customers as well. Your own people, once I talked to them earlier today, told me they are showing a history of issues that are showing up after the update was put in place. Of course she tried to say, "Maybe the age of the battery and the update both contributed". Whatever.
I want you all to know how disappointed I am in your company for the handling of this issue. I always thought "Apple" was the line I didn't have to worry about having any types of issue. And that you all would stand behined your product 100%. Now I am not so sure.
I would love to hear back from your company on how you perceive the issue with all of these phones that prior to the update didn't have any issues and how after the update THEY ARE NOW having issues. I do not believe this was an issue due to the age of a battery and that was pretty lame to say so. It was fine and now its not.
Please feel free to contact me and help me figure out a way to pay for all of the batteries that will be needed for our company to contiue doing business as needed.
Thank you.

Extensions like Ghostery, WOT or AdBlock stop working after two or three times. Restarting the webpage in a new tab the extensions will work again for several times and then stop again. Has anybody an explanation or a workaround for this bug in Safari 5?
Remove the extensions, redownload Safari, reload the extensions.

And if you really want a better experience, use Firefox, tons more choices and possibilities there.
Firefox's "NoScript" will block the Trojan going around on websites. Best web security you can get.

After updating my iPad I have to restart it two or three times a day to access my mail or the internet. Why?
My wife has not updated her iPad yet and no problems with mail or internet. This leads me to believe it's not a router or provider problem but a problem with my IPad.Try a reset ...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections -

Since updating to latest iOS safari fails several times a day.
1. Just quits.
2. The items on the reading list will not delete after visited.
3. The screens goes grey when I go to email a reference.
Is the a solution other the restarting the iPad or is this something apple ought to fix?See if the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
Left mouse button not functioning properly. it has to be pressed two to three times to open a file
Please refer to my complaint No.4671720767
Reading around on these support page, I figured the cable from the keyboard was not properly installed. Its a tricky item best done with a pair of tweeers, a good bit of light and very close inspection. When everything lines up, close the ZIF hinge and voila! The keyboard now works. And I can boot and get past the passwords.
However, my power is not recharging my battery. That is worrisome and a new issue (from last post above).
Please help. Only a couple hours juice. Thanks. -

Two or Three Time Capsules/Time Machine in One Mac Pro?
Hi,
I recently bought a Mac pro, and it has 4 HD in the 4 bays. I bought a 1TB Time Capsule for the start up disk, but was wondering if I can expand it to 2 or 3 Time Capsules, so I can also safe guard the other HD's in in the other bays. I dont want to do it with 1 TM for the 2 or 3 HD's as the data wont fit.
I woould appreciate any input as I have searched and cant find a thing on this.
Many thanks!To back up this much data you would be better of looking at a Drobo. Using 2 TB drives, you could have up to 6 TB backup storage with risk of data loss only if 2 drives fail at same time.

Two images on a page, want to number each image. How?
Page layout with two images on a page, other pages have one image. I want to have a number associated with each image. I tried page numbering to no avail. How do I have a sequence number for each image?
I further complicate this; I will make many documents, each document will have about five pages, as I progress, I want the photo numbers to function likek page numbers, across all the documents.
How do I accomplish this?
RobThank you, I am closer to the solution after following your instructions. On the Master pages (Two page spread), I made a text frame adjacent to each of two frames for the images (There will be two images on each document page, thus two frames on each Master Page). They are threaded together and I verified this by View > Show Text Threads.
Since I am not getting the right result, I must have done something wrong. I made numbered List using Paragrach Styles. I could not find "text attribubutes" so I am probably not doing this right. Please note that I have spent 7 hours on this so far, so I am making an effort.
It seems reasonable that this should be done on a Master layout, is this right? So far, the text frame number flow from 1 to 4 across the the Master Page spread. Thus the first two pages are correct. However, when page is added based on the Master it repeats the same flow: 1 though 4. I expect this because that's what the Master shows, However, I want the numbers to continue as I add photos to additional pages.
Thank you for any additional information you are willing to provide. -
Activity monitor Page Out question
Is there a way to get Page Outs to report the number of page outs rather than bytes ?
And when did this change, as it used to report in # of pages.... I think in 10.5Sorry, but that cannot be changed. If you want a better report of that information then open the Terminal and enter: top then press RETURN. Top's information is more complete than what is reported in Activity Monitor. Also see:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
