Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe> -
After installing lion, my computer is running slower and having delays connecting to network
please help me resolve my problem. after installing lion my system was running great for about a week. suddenly it is having trouble connecting to the internet, running slow and the history pages are appearing without asking for them.. unable to get my homepage when opening up, just get a white screen. if i go to the history, i can get the homepage. Only able to access my homepage by waiting for ever or getting it from the history.
please helpPeter, thank you for responding. No, I am not referring to the initial start up. I downloaded Yosemite over a week ago and feel it is running very slow when switching websites. Also, I have experienced numerous hangups causing me to force quite much more than before.
I just cleared my Safari history (I am guessing that is what you meant by "clean the old internet-caches" and restarted Safari. I will see how it goes.
I uses a file called "Desktop" from my IPhoto library for my desktop pictures. It contains about 20 pictures. I configured it that way in Preferences, but it seems whenever I shut down and restart my computer it reverts to the generic picture of Yosemite. As for the question mark and "Update Needed" showing on my startup log in screen, I think I fixed that by changing my password in Preferences.
No that I have cleared the Safari history, I will see how things go. -
Database is extremely slow and alert_log is not updateing
Please HELP!!!
Our database is experience a big performance issue. It extremely slow.
At the same time our alert_log is not updating. Last entry was made on 11/15/05.
Can this be related? The alert_log size is 10.6MB. Is there a limit to size of alert_log?
What are the appropriate steps for renaming alert_log?
Does anyone experiences the same issues before?
Thank you in advance,
Sonyaon Windows
Select the alert log and press right mouse buttong, select rename and change the name.
From dos prompt, go the directory/location where alert log exists, use the following command:
ren alert_ORCL.log alert_ORCL..log.old
on UNIX
go the location of alert log, use the following command.
mv alert_ORCL.log alert_ORCL.log.old
(give alert file name as exists at your place)
Important: No need to shutdown the database. Once you rename the file, connect as sysdba and switch the logfile and see whether oracle has create the new alert log or not.
alter system switch log file;

Hello jerome-1241,
The entire computer is running slow? Does it run slower over time or as soon as you reboot and it logs in it starts running slow and sluggish?
Have you ran any virus scans lately?
What happens when you send an email?
What program do you use to send emails from or are you using a web browser?
If using a program or browser which one and which version?

worst $30 i ever spent. period.
Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

Ihave just upgrade my imac to the new os x maverick and now its very slow to open everything.
Have any one else had these issuesMacKeeper is utter garbage!!!!
Before even attempting an OS X upgrade, completely remove this serious "crapware" from your system!!!!!
If you do not believe me, do a search in these support forums for MacKeeper and you can see for yourself!
Get rid of it!
See if your system speeds up after completely ridding your system of everything connected to MacKeeper.
Please, start a new thread and do not hijack a thread of another user posting!
Why are you so concerned about "cleaning out" your Mac?
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
How much RAM is installed in your Mac?
Download and install and run Etrecheck.

PS CS6 Extremely slow and sluggish. Brush tool delay.
Hello everyone.
I own a copy of Photoshop CS6.
Switching from Photoshop CS to CS6, I have found this version to be extremely slow and I can not find a reason why it is like this. It is impossible for me to work on it.
Problem: Slow performance, when using the brush tool there is a long delay - lag. The brush takes more than 8 seconds to catch up with my strokes.
Software:
Adobe Photoshop CS6 x64
OS:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
CPU:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
GPU:
Radeon 6790 OC @ 920Mhz
RAM:
A-Data DDR3 1333Mhz CAS9 4GB (x2)
SSD:
A-Data 510 128GB SATA3
HDD:
Samsung SATA 1TB
Tried:
- Memory usage allowed upgraded to 6GB, nothing changed.
- Default selected "Scratch Disk" is the main SSD which has over 58GB of free space, I've tried selecting the secondary HDD as well but nothing changes.
- Disabled the "Use Graphic Processor" square. nothing changed.
- Disabled the "Use open CL" square in advanced Graphic Processor Settings. Nothing changed.
- Changed power management settings in windows to "High Performance". nothing changed.
- Disabling tablet pc service doesn't help.
Notes:
- Graphic drivers are the latest release on AMD website
- Windows is completely updated
- SSD Firmware is the latest available.
- The issue happens both with mouse and tablet.
- 1px brush and 5000px brush lag just alike in zoomed and not zoomed canvas.
- This happens on both x64 and x86 versions of the software.
Any help is aprecihated.
Thank you in advance.ForeKeith wrote:
AMD replied to my email just today and said that my graphic card should be compatible and should perform great with the current drivers.
Wow, they went out on a limb and said that? AMD clearly is denying any problems just as any corporate entity appears to do nowadays. Didn't someone once say "shoot all the laywers"?
It's pretty clear the Catalyst 12.4 release is a bust with Photoshop. Lots of people have seen that. And I just checked - AMD hasn't released Catalyst 12.5 yet.
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx
But I agree that your card is MORE than powerful enough. Mine is slower than yours and my Photoshop experience is quick and interactive. There is a SPECIFIC PROBLEM that's manifesting here.
But just to be absolutely, completely, undeniably sure we're not talking about a performance issue with very large files, please do the following:
1. Create a new, blank document as follows:
2. Choose the Brush Tool then reset it by right-clicking in the little brush icon at the upper-left and choosing Reset Tool:
3. Make the brush 1000 pixels in size, fully soft.
4. Set the foreground color to something other than white and brush quickly from the upper-left corner of the image to the lower-right. Roughly how many seconds does it take for the actual on-canvas stroke to get all the way to the bottom (i.e., how far behind does it get)?
Is it:
Nearly instantaneous?
One second behind?
Many seconds behind?
On my system with this big brush and huge image, it gets about 1 second behind.

Verizon page is extremely slow
I upgraded my internet speed to 25/15. I have Fios DVR, many computers(wired and wireless) and wireless devices such as PSPs and ipods, and sometimes use my smartphone as a DVR remote. I don't have any problems, except for when I go to pay my bill every month. The VZ page is extremely slow, and to me is junky. The computer I use to pay my bill is a wired connection, and may be a little older, but the VZ page is the only page I have problems with. And PLEASE stop asking me to install the Google toolbar. I hate Google! Don't they know enough about me already? Why won't I update Google map on my phone? Look at the permissions! Other than that, great job! Fios, phone and internet is reliable, and don't give me any problems. But Google......c'mon!

Itunes 10.4 extremely slow and "hangs"
Ever since I upgraded to Lion, the new iTunes is extremely slow, and constantly "hangs" (showing the dreader Beach Ball of Death). This happens for an especially long time whenever I'm downloading podcasts and otherwise syncing my iPod Classic.
The problem about screen size values happens to all video that I import in Itunes from the same source (my Samsung HMX-H100P HD Camcorder).
The strange thing is that if you look at the scren size values with other software (QuickTime, Avidemus), the values shown for scren size are corrected as expected: 1280x720.
I installed Itunes 10.4.0.80 1 month ago and it was the first installation of Itunes on my PC.
Reinstalling (deinstall + install) Itunes is not a solution to the problem: I tried this yesterday without success. -
IPhoto and iMovie will not open with Mountain Lion upgrade.
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion OS 10.8, my iPhoto and iMovie will not open. I am using a newly purchased MB Air. I re-installed iPhoto from the App Store after trashing my previously installed iPhoto application. IPhoto Library Manager was downloaded as recommended on Apple Support but also will not open. I also tried to trach the iPhoto plist as recommended by a community member. Each application (iPhoto and iMovie) bounces above the dock and message received that application unexpectedly closed. Thank you for any recommendations.

Since I updated my Iphone to IOS 7, I have lost all calender entries oin my phone and it won't sync calenders on iitunes. Anyone have this problem?
I believe anilsudhakaran meant sign out and in with your Apple ID for iTunes.
Also, do a hard reboot of your phone. I know that always helps me.
This doesn't delete anything
Google how to do it if you are not sure how to do it. -
Hi, My iMac from 2007 is slow and sometimes freezes, what can I do?
All my Software is updated and RAM is maxed at 4GB. I have used CleanMyMac 2 to clean the iMac.
I also have a problem with Wi-Fi is jumping between On and Looking for NetworksAlmost certainly that is your problem, Norton causes more problems than it ever helps. Not only is it unnessary no antivirus app is necessary. Keep your machine up-to-date using Software Update and in most situations that is all you need for security.
You can find Norton's uninstall link at:

Dear Apple Support Community.
As mentioned by a number of users reporting the same problem, my 2009 iMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, has become extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since it was migrated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (OS 10.9 then OS 10.9.1).
I have already run CleanMyMac, deleted 5GB of useless stuffs, which did not translate into any improvement. Following the advices collected in other Apple Support Community threads, I have applied EtreCheck the outcome of which is provided below.
For information, I have also upgraded my 2011 MacBook CPU2.3 GHz Core i7, 8GB which became only a bit slower than before, sometimes freezing which it almost never did before. However, I am used to the fact that Mac get usually slower and more prompt fo freeze after upgrading to a more recent OS.
Both my 2009 iMac and my 2011 MacBook have F-Secure installed. So the problem with the 2009 IMac is unlikly to be due to the presence of F-Secure. Interestingly, the few abnormalities found by Etrecheck were exacly identical before I ran CleanMyMac. There are two more findings (mentioned below) since I ran CleanMyMac on the 2009 iMac, which again didn't improve the problem.
So please find below the details of the EtreCheck experience and some additional measurements made with iStat while running EtreCheck:

Please find now some additional measurements collected with iStat while running EtreCheck:
Practically:
The iMac can work slowly with only one software e.g. either Mail or Safari or Firefox, but still the below "out of Memory" message occurs about every 3 minutes.
Aperture has becomre to slow to be useable
If trying to write a mail (with Mail) while Safari or Firefox is open, then the "out of Memory" message occurs about every 20 seconds so I need to check on "Resume" several times per minute.
Conclusions
From the above, unless anyone in the Apple Support Community proves to be able to identify a specific problem leading to a way to find a cure, I tend to conclude that Mavericks is not suitable for computers operating with a Core 2 Duo CPU even with a 8GB of RAM.
Unless I missed something, I did not see any warning from Apple Computer Inc. informing their customers they should refrain from upgrading Core 2 Duo Computers.
The only solution I see so far is to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion. And the Apple Support Community would confirm that it is the only solution, I would appreciate to get your guidance on how to proceed.
Intended action plan
Migrate the above 2009 iMac to a 2014 Mac Mini Server operating on Mavericks to ensure that no data may be lost while downgrading to Montain Lion.
Provided the above downgrading operation is successful, assign this 2009 iMac to partial retirement e.g. Mail, Skype, iTunes and DVD player.
In advance, I would like to thank the Apple Community for helping me either i) finding a cure to the problem, ii) or confirming that Mavericks cannot operate properly on Core 2 Duo computers, iii) and in such a case, guiding me on how to downgrade to Mountain Lion.
Yours sincerely
Core... what anti-virus would you recommend using?
Use what is already included with OS X. It already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind. -
