Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. I now have to go to the apple icon in the upper left corner. Any short cuts instead of going to the apple in the top left corner and hitting shut down. Doing that all the time, I feel like I am back at work using a "Windows" computer.
This a is tricky one, but you can still do it. Instead of pressing the power button, hold it down for a few seconds and then you'll see the shut down options dialog pop up.
I guess they were trying to prevent accidental touching of that button. They did something similar with the Eject button a few versions ago, where you have to hold down Eject instead of just tapping it so that you don't pop out a CD by mistake. -

6 keys "5tgb-[" on mac air keyboard do not work or act up
6 keys: "5tgb-[" on mac air keyboard do not work or act up. No known damage.
I took it to the Apple store and they checked it for free. They stated that they found liquid inside (to my great surprise), which costs $800 to fix. I declined, since a new one costs $1100. Even AppleCare would not have covered it, so it was not a problem that my 3-year AppleCare just expired.
I find it quite a coincidence that 2 of us had exact same problem within a week and we both posted it. -
Hi: my mac air safari is not loading all websites since i upgraded my software.. it download only few website and crome in the mac is not responding at all.. what to do please advise ???
Safari Problems
Safari - Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync. It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.
Most common culprits include the cable. Try swapping it out for a different one.. or not having the most recent version of itunes. I once even solved this problem by shutting down the computer for 2 minutes. (the longer the better), with the ipad plugged in. starting it up... then itunes recognizes it, launches, and syncs.
Apple has a troubleshooting assistant on this topic:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
It will advise you to reboot. I recommend shutting down instead.
--Sam
P.S The ipad should charge when asleep and plugged into your Mac. The charging behavior is normal. There isn't enough power out the USB ports to charge the ipad while it is on on some older Macs and nearly all PCs. -

I have my mac air hooked to the tv using thunderbolt and HDMI
I have my mac air hooked to the tv using thunderbolt and HDMI the background screen and screen saver are the only things that will appear, but no icon's and cursor what I'm i missing?
That's called the "extended desktop mode". Your screen is logically extended to the right (by default). Drag an application off the right side of your MBair screen and it'll appear on the TV.
You can also toggle between extended desktop and mirror mode by pressing CMD F1.
Visit all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

I would like to darken my Mac Air screen, so I can use may external display and the keyboard on the notebook--it is possible on a PC-does it work on a Mac?
Sure it's possible.
Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo on the top left of the menu).
Choose "Display". There's a slider bar for the screen brightness. Adjust it and you're all set. -
Does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro
does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro
Are you saying that your machine does or is it an enquiry before buying ? I use a 2011 server model - well, it does get hot over a period of time, but I've very rarely heard the fan kick in, its a surprise when it does. As far as I know the casing has been specifically designed to conduct heat, rather than having any fancy grilles and so on, being so small in size. I haven't found it to be cause for concern, if that's any help.

Mac air freezing or jumpy when dual monitor
Hi there,
I'm working with a PC and a Mac at the same time. Sometimes I need to have the Mac dual screen and sometimes I need the PC to be dual screen, so I have a monitor with two inputs (Samsung S22C200), with the Mac plugged into the DVA port and the PC plugged into the RGB/VGA port. when I
The problem is, when I am displaying the PC on the monitor, the Mac will become very 'jumpy' as in, the will freeze for about 4 seconds in every 6, which is really annoying. I suppose the Mac doesn't like its monitor being extended into empty space. There are no problems with the PC. Has anyone else encountered such a problem, and does anyone know how to solve it?
Many thanks,
AlistairDoes the Acer have automatic input selection? When the computer goes to sleep,there is no DVI signal,so the display may switch inputs, so not immediately notice when the DVI signal returns when the computer wakes. While switch to the other input, some displays to not provide resolution information on the DVI port, so when the computer wakes, it thinks the display has gone, and may switch to a default resolution. If the display switches back to the DVI port, it will then see the wrong resolution. The graphics card, though, is now seeing the ressolution information from the display, and may change to match. It may take a while for things to settle. Can you set the ACER to stay on the DVI port? If not, a DVI Detective may help.

Mac pro 13 (2014) or Mac Air (2014) for basic Photoshop use
I am a college senior about to enter the advertising industry and want to get a Mac as it is the industry standard in the ad world and to brush up on my Photoshop skills. I am looking for a mac computer priced between $1,000-$1,500 with education discount. Please let me know what you think would be an acceptable comp for basic photo shop and Imovie editing. The primary use of this computer will be word docs and watching Netflix etc. very low use programs. Please let me know what builds would be best for this very moderate PS use. Thank you in advance for your help!
RAM and some serious PCIe-SSD storage will help Aperture/LR. But I am use to spreading things out, learned long ago the benefits on concurrent and never reading+writing though didn't have todays 1.2Gb SSD to play with.
Was not to move the thread, but to ask there also for first hand on how they like the 2013 iMac now. I just don't feel comfortable spending that much when I know Mac Pro is designed for heavy use, better thermals, IS upgradeable, and will last longer.
