Problem with starting my account on mac

I installed mac os lion few weeks ago and all was working fine until yesterday.
the account i use to log on has become very slow and everytime i log in, the desktop icons take ages to load up and spotlight starts indexing.
i created a new account, but also spotlight starts indexing on it aswell.
the screen goes blank sometimes and i cant access any of the files or application on the desktop.
the only thing i did was deleting bootcamp as i dont use windows on the mac.
spotlight constantly is trying to index and the task is not finishing.
not sure how to get things working again
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
tony

Hope this helps.

    Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

    Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.

    Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

  • Mac cannot connect to iCloud because of a problem with my iCloud account

    I keep getting the following message when opening my email....mac cannot connect to iCloud because of a problem with my iCloud account. 

    I have another kind of message. I am connected perfectly to iCloud but receive this every hour or so : "This Mac cannot connect to iCloud due to a problem with "address mail" of said account.
    But :
    1. I AM connected
    2. When I open i Cloud prefs it asks me to type my iCloud details (email address and password), then it says iCloud is in fac ALREADY open.
    3. When reading troubleshoot doc Carolyne linked to, I read this :
    Close and reopen iCloud preferences before attempting to sign in to iCloud again.
    If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
    If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button in iCloud preferences.
    My comments :
    - How can I close iCloud ? Document doesn't say. By clicking the "—" sign in iCloud prefs ???
    - I cannot see any "Verification Email button in iCloud.
    I'm on Yosemite…

  • Problems with Photoshop cs4 for the Mac

    I am having all kinds of problems with Photoshop CS4 for the Mac.  When I boot the software it seems to work for a while then, I am unable to open upf a file in Photoshop.  I drag a photoshop file over the application icon, the whole screen flickers and nothing happens.  I am unable to quit Photoshop as the quit choice is grayed out and command-q will not make it quit. I have to force quit.  I can repeat this pattern over and over.  What is happening?  How do I solve this problem?
    --Kenoli

    Thanks for the reply.  I am using  Photoshop 11.0.1.  I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard.  I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now.  My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac.  Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while.  I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply.  Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
    The problems with Photoshop  (starting with just taking a long time to load)  have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software.  I will report if problems go away.
    Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere.  However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
    So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
    Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively?  Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.

  • Problem with activating Lightroom 5 on Mac

    I've bought a licence for Lightroom 5 on my Mac computer. After verifying my university status I received the "serial number" and have registered the product on my online adobe account. However, the "desktop version" of lightroom 5 as well as the "adobe cloud" still indicate that my trial has expired and I need to buy a product. I thought there might be some synchronisation problems with my adobe account, but could not find any option on my lightroom 5 desktop or adobe cloud to re-add the serial number.

    Try below steps 
    Quit Lightroom
    navigate to MAc HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe >  Ligtroom
    Delete Lightroom 5 install cookie file
    then relaunch and check
    it should work.
    If you are still facing the issue, uninstall Lightroom 5
    redownload it from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=mac
    then insall it

    Thanks
    soniya

    Hi,
    You can do it in Web Intelligence using the function Right().
    Depending on the SAP BW version you have it is possible to build such calculated expression in universe on uniquename or name:
    <EXPRESSION>RIGHT[0CALMONTH].currentmember.uniquename,5)</EXPRESSION>
    OR
    <EXPRESSION>RIGHT([0CALMONTH].currentmember.name,5)</EXPRESSION>
    You have to replace 0CALMONTH by the unique definition of GL Accounts and you also need to use the object referencing GL Accounts in your query in addtion to the calculated expression.

  • I have a problem with disable my account in apple store

    hi i got a problem with disable my account apple store... so what should i do?

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Hi Guys,

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

  • Problem with starting Windows when W510 in docking station

    When I put in my W510 to the docking station, I have usually every second day problems with starting up Windows operation system.
    I make 2 videos, where on the first 100_1060.MOV you can see starting Windows when it is frozen (first 1 minute record, I start record after about 3 minutes frozen), then I have to reboot W510 by on/off button and start ThinkVantage.
    On the second video 100_1061.MOV is starting operating system after ThinkVantage process, this start is OK.

  • Problem with starting more than one SwingWorker

    Hello
    I wonder if anyone could tell me if there are known problems with starting more than one SwingWorker thread at once?
    In response to an action the user performs, I need to obtain several lists of things from the server. This includes a couple of server-calls, and I want to do the server calls in a thread outside the awt-event thread. So I start a couple of SwingWorker-threads. This works fine sometimes, but not always. Sometimes code in some of the SwingWorkers finished method does not update the ui. I can see that the correct calls are made, but the ui is still not updated correctly. The problem seems to be related to the sequence of when the different thread are finished. For instance, if the sequence is like this:
    SwingWorker1.construct
    SwingWorker2.construct
    SwingWorker1.finished
    SwingWorker2.finished
    Things go fine, but if the sequence is:
    SwingWorker1.construct
    SwingWorker1.finished
    SwingWorker2.construct
    SwingWorker2.finished
    the ui-updates in SwingWorker1.finished is not done correctly.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    This is the point:
    In one SwingWorker thread you have 1 construct method, and 1 finish method - which are both invoked once.
    Therefore you only have one opportunity to update the gui in that thread. This forces you to use many threads if you want regular updates, which I try to avoid.
    Therefore, the solution!
    Have a loop in the construct method that executes the algorithm accordingly, updating the gui accordingly at regular times, maintaining just the 1 thread - becomes easier and nicer for the programmer and the JVM.
    The finish method in this case is to update the gui when all iterations are finished.
    There is nothing wrong with this. Just because you have a finish method that is called in the event-dispatching thread doesn't mean that all your update code must be in there.
    What you MUST ensure is that ALL your update code is executed in the event-dispatching thread, that is the most important thing. After all, SwingWorker is just a helper class, not the gospel template of how to update a gui.
