Re: after loading Lion on a 13" MacBook Pro the pulsing rest does not work anymore / CoeCon
Is there any trick with the adjustment??
I haven't done permissions yet, but I have rebooted several times. I had an issue with the superdrive not recognizing DVDs, so I zapped the PRAM and did the SMC thing. Plus, I've tried rebooting just to see if that would help, but it has not.
I have been watching istat and there's some free memory but not a lot. I was fine under snow leopard, I never had any troubles until I started running a lot of stuff at once. I agree that this is almost certainly memory. It gets worse the more things I try to do at once. Everything hangs whenever there's an operation to be done (syncing, downloading). It just feels like the machine is choking.
I saw an article earlier on one of the Mac RSSs that the writer was having problems with Safari consuming up to a gig of memory just sitting idle with a few tabs open. I'm not going to bother with Safari until I put the memory in, Chrome runs pretty well, even if I can't really do the full-screen thing. I guess at this point I'm just looking for help for what I can do to conserve memory until more arrives. And I'm a little annoyed at Apple for saying Lion works with 2Gb of RAM when it really doesn't. If you can't use the browser or the iTunes, how can you even hope to run Photoshop? iMovie takes 5 minutes to load and when it does it's full of visual glitches.
I guess I'll try permissions and see if that helps. Thanks for your ideas though.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit. After installing Photoshop Elements 13 and trying to run it I always get the message: Photoshop does not work anymore. And it doesn't.
Hi Hardy Tasso,
Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
Please try:
Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

Macbook Pro Pinch/Zoom feature does not work with Firefox 6
Can someone please tell me how to fix this major problem?
I can not get the Pinch/Zoom feature on the track pad to work on my Macbook Pro. I am running OS 10.6.8.
I have seen this below in other posts, and have tried it, but it STILL does not work !!!!
'''''Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
'''You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
'''browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce<br>
'''browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset<br>'''
'''browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge<br>'''
'''browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset<br>''''''
'''To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.'''
'''If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.'''''''''''
Please someone help me - this is a great feature and its really pissing me off that I can't use it.
HELP !!!I'VE TRIED THIS:
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
I'VE TRIED ALL OF THE ABOVE NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT DOES NOT WORK ON MACBOOK PRO AND FIREFOX 6.
CAN ANYBODY HELP? THANKS ♥ -
MacBook Pro Late 2011 Model - Does not work after Yosemite update
i recently updated my OS to Yosemite and had in problems for two days but yesterday it ceased to work in the middle of printing a document.
I need my laptop back up and running since I have school exams soon and vital information and files are in this laptop.
i Have never had a problem with the laptop before.
Issues that I have had
logging in takes at least 20 minutes
cannot progress further than that, desktop is blank and nothing loads, only the dock.
battery drains extremely fast
Safe boot does not even load
I've tried clearing that VRAM and the other one.
Cannot access anything at all
This is appalling and at the worst possible time.Please describe exactly what you're doing and what happens.

Macbook Pro Retina - nVidia card does not work correctly
Hi,
having a MacBook Pro Retina. It ran fine till yeasterday when I fired up a game which was laggy and it was running fine before. It took me several hours to find where the problem is and it seems to me that the nVidia dicrete card is not working. But strangely not working. I installed gfxCardStatus to see whether the card is being switched to run the game and it actually is. But the performance is the same as running it on an internal Intel. I took another test and downloaded CINEBENCH to see the differences and sadly the results are the same if I switch to nVidia or to Intel and run the benchmark.
Obviously something is not right here. It happened over night. Before it worked corectly. I do not remember installing something that day/night that could have broken it (in case it is a SW problem). Only one thing comes to my mind - Apple Java update. But I tried to uninstall it and got the same result. I did try to restart several times. But otherwise there is no visible flaw, e.g. flickering or black screen when swithech do nVidia - nothing. gfxCardStatus shows that the system switches the card and I notice no change. Only in heavy load it is obvious that it is slow (slower than it was).
Is there a way to see if the nVidia card is working? I suspect that even if the system is trying to switch to a discreet card it still runs on the Intel in reality. Any way how to distinguish this rather than to rely on gfxCardStatus? Any log that would make this clear? Any test I can run (Apple HW test shows "no problem detected")?
Many thanks for hints.To show what I am talkin about I did another test. I downloaded and ran LuxMark. There it is possible to test CPU and GPU separately on a same benchmark scene. FIrst I let the system switch to nvidia and did the test:
Then I manually switched to Intel/CPU in gfxCardStatus and also selected CPU in the LuxMark and did the same test. The result is:
You see? How it is possible that in OpenCL computation CPU with internal graphic card is even faster then the descreet one? This is what I am experiencing now and cannot figure out where the problem lies.
Would the Apple HW test discover a dead nvidia card? Because nothing shows that the card is dead but as you can see it is not performing as it should. -
the built-in keyboard on my macbook is not functioning right, the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers,
the caps button doesn't work at all, the letter buttons display capitals when pushed whether the caps button is on or off, the shift keys are also out of whack!!
It seems it somehow got relocated to the "0" button because if you push and hold the zero button down the keyboard seems to operate normally, the number keys display numbers when pushed the letter keys display lower case when pushed but release the zero button and your back in the twilight zone!! Can anybody help me resolve this issue? one more thing im using an external usb keyboard right now and it seems to function properly if that helps any.You would do better in the actual macbook pro forums (this is not).

MacBook Pro up arrow key does not work how to fix it?
When I am just working on the computer the up arrow key does not work at all but when I use bootcamp to go to the PC side the arrow works so i know its not a phisical problem, i have tryed everything i know and still no success.
Hello brooklinekilla,
I would be concerned too the up arrow key on my keyboard was not working. I found an article that can assist with further isolating and troubleshooting issues with the built in keyboard. I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Enter key does not work anymore in address bar after FF update
After the update the Enter key does not work anymore. Neither when I type the url directly, nor when I select it from the history.
In short FF has become unusable. Now I need to install and use a less crappy browser. Extremely sloppy, amateuristic update.see if this is helpful : go to Tool > Options > Advanced > General tab > Browsing and '''Uncheck''': "Use hardware acceleration when available" .

After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3 multi cam does not work
After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3, multi cam does not work anymore. Everything was fine in the trial version, but now the multicam clip I made in trail is shown, but not with the 4 windows, only the first angle can be seen. And I can not find (import) the cuts I made in the trail. The settings are the same in both versions. Am I missing something? Is it possible that I have to start from scratch and all work is lost?
When I double click the multi cam clip I see all four angles in the timeline, one underneath the other...
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!There is an excellent podcast tutorial series called "Creative COW Final Cut Help Tutorials Podcast (SD)"
in the iTunes Store.
The latest three are video podcasts and go into great depth concerning the new Multicam in 10.0.3
Can't recommend them enough. -
Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work neither when chosen after pressing the button nor chosen in the apple menu..
I have had the same problem but on another forum it was suggested that disabling internet sharing would solve this. This fix seems to work on my machine - why it works I do not understand

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini
There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
