Replaced 4 GB with 8 GB and still slow with OSX 10.9.5

I have an early 2011 Mac Book Pro, with OSX 10.9.5. Was very slow in boot up and especially with Microsoft Office applications. I replaced the 4GB memory with 8 GB. This does not seem to have helped. Any suggestions?

Realized that I was not logged in when I emailed you. Thanks for your response.

LR 4 RC2 ...vexing problem, 3 sessions with support and still not able to find? With all settings reset and running a test catalog a raw image when opened in develop will when imediately going back to library view show a significant color shift in red, orange and purple but only in images with significant content in those colors. at first the culprit appeared to be camera calibration default but not reproducable. The problem exists even when opening older images from months ago? Also if second screen running in loupe mode the image is not shifted.
Any ideas please
Dave

Jim01403, Geoff and others...I'm new here so I'll need a little time The thread is very interesting, populated by serious mature people, how refreshing! It clearly is part of what i'm experiencing and is answered answered here...thank you. My main problem is still the significant color shift between develope and library modules. I'll attach one from each so you and others can see. Unfortunately the library version is the bad one so printing is now very problematic...Note, this occurs in either single or with second monitor on the library version is displayed. I have reset virtually everything and wonder if a cache is not updating or color space is not matching? A symptom/detail worth noting, when switching to library mode, the correct image is displayed for about a second then it jumps to what you see in the examples. As if the library module starts to rendering from develope settings then jumps tback to the original inedited preview??
Maybe just go back to 3.6 and tread water till 4.1 is fixed?

I am new to mac. Do I need to store photos on the hard drive to use iPhoto or can I store pics on a network drive and still edit with iPhoto?

I am new to mac. Do I need to store photos on the hard drive to use iPhoto or can I store pics on a network drive and still edit with iPhoto?

iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
See this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
for more. Note also the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

I would suggest you visit an Apple dealer, preferably an Apple Store if there's one in your city, and ask for assistance in determining what you need. The questions and issues you bring up are rather complex to address in a technical support forum and would be better addressed in person where you and the salesperson can ask questions back and forth to arrive at the optimal setup.

Hi .
Apple no longer supports Safari for Windows if that's what you are asking > Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari 6.0
Microsoft has not written IE for Safari for many years.

my text messages go to everyone except to my daughters. she has an iphone but with bell and mine is with rogers. she receives them when she is at home or say at chapters/tim hortons where they have wifi, but if she is walking somewhere or at somewhere without wifi, it isn't working? i don't understand. she has a text plan. her phone is an iphone 4s can anybody assist me if you know what the problem may be? thanks so much.

Have her go to Settings>Cellular and make sure Cellular Data is turned to On. If she's having trouble with regular sms messages, check her carrier to be sure her messaging plan is properly provisioned.

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Any "3rd" party program for making DVD's with movies and stills....???

I think I have read every post on this or other sites about maximizing burned DVD quality after using imovie. At the end of the day I can only say this. I used proshowgold on my PC and the DVD's that were burned had MUCH better quality pictures and video. The DVD when shown on a TV was much more vivid. I did not have to lace/deinterlace/h.264/mv2/upscale/drag.. etc.etc.... you get the point. I love the mac but I want to make a movie with stills and music, hit "burn" or move to iDVD and have a decent DVD to give to friends.
I looked at FCE but that didn't seem to be the answer for movies and stills.. ?? Anything else out there...???
Any help other than "your doing it wrong" is appreciated....

As Shawn said they keep on changing things around
In an older version it looked like this [link to image|http://dvdstepbystep.com/toast.jpg]
Click on New disc on the bottom, name the disc and drag the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS File in
You can also [use this|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html] to make a .img from iDVD and DVD SP then burn to disc....

Why doesn't the "zoom in/out" via pinching the trackpad on my mac not work anymore with firefox? It worked before and still works with Safari.

why doesn't the "zoom in/out" feature by pinching the trackpad on my mac work anymore with firefox? It worked about a month ago, and still works on Safari.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
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
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
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. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

RDGateway CAP with MFA and still control device redirection by group

We currently use multiple RD Gateways with Local Connection Authorization Policies (CAP) to control what groups of users have drive, clipboard, and Printer redirection enabled/disabled.
We are looking at implementing Multi Factor authentication (MFA), but all the solutions we have found and tested remove our ability to control what groups of users have the device redirection. Are there any ways to implement MFA and still be able to
enable or disable device redirection based on user and/or group membership?

Hi James,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per my knowledge, we can implement RD Gateway MFA under windows Azure. Apart sorry to say but I don’t found any related scenario for your case as it get implemented until now for redirection.
You can refer below article for reference.
Step By Step – Using Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway with Azure Multifactor Authentication
Thanks for your understanding and Support!

Many problems with Vista and Itunes--slowing and crashing

Okay, so itunes has never worked right on my computer. I have a Comaq Persario V6000 with the Centrino duo. These are some of the problems I have with Itunes:
1. will not play initially on start up. I need to close itunes, open it again and then sometimes it plays.
2. Sometime itunes never opens, no matter how many times I click on the icon.
3. Runs very slowly at times. Might take 30 seconds for a rating to appear after I've clicked on it.
4. Crashes completely.
I've tried reinstalling itunes numerous times to no avail. I'm also using the newest itunes version. Every other program works fine on my computer, except itunes. Any help is appreciated. I'm at my wits end. I love my ipod but I hate itunes.

Hmmm. Looked around and tried all the tips and tricks. Nothing works basically. Even took the PC to pieces and plugged in my old graphics card (totally different make and drivers etc). No success. Mucked around with the memory, BIOS setup etc. Even read people in the same boat having no success reinstalling XP! Grief... Luckily I have a laptop to use for the iPod. Bit of a pain (should get a second cable really), but should work, esp with my portable 300gb drive. Annoying, buy hey....
Oh, and I got the superman returns mp4 to play in a window from the website. After watching it through the windows player I selected the QuickTime version of the movie and waited for BSOD. Nope, played fine (much better quality too). Ok I thought, perhaps I've fixed it, play the downloaded version on the desktop. Nope, BSOD ****. ****....
Hmmm, notice all the Apple gurus here loading up with tips and suggestions. Aha. Honestly anything more than "How do you get Britneys picture to appear?" and they don't want to know. Typical....
Good luck.
Cheers
