Something wiered is going on with my mac please read

ok guys i have no clue but my mac was working perfectly but now this is the 3rd time that out of nowhere, my mac simply restarts, i dont get the kernel panic screen or anything , my mac just simply restarts, what is wrong with it? the only new thing i installed is that i updated itunes to itunes 7.5 and i belive thats when the problem started, just 2 minutes ago i pluged my iphone to the dock to charge it, itunes loaded up because it automaticlly does that when i plug in my iphone and ban my imac restarted, so i do belive its itunes, how can i uninstall itunes so that i can reinstall an older version of itunes which i had before ? i know where to get the old itunes version can u just tell me how to uninstall itunes please? i checked with disk utility, the disk returned no errors aswell as the permission check.

Software conflicts should not cause a forced restart. Have you checked your power cord make sure it's plugged in securely both on the back of the iMac and at the wall socket? Shut down your computer before you check the power cord. If it passed the Disk Verification then that's not the problem and Disk Warrior will not fix it. Have you installed any third party RAM recently? You could try running Apple Hardware Test. Run the extended test.

The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?

you pay for it up front, and they give you a rebate or $99, so if you buy a $99 printer from them (Epson Stylus NX430 Small-in-One Color Inkjet Printer $99.95) then the printer becomes free. You can not get this deal unless you also buy a mac with it.

Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 Version 185673

Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 (v185673).
I've just completed a 1.5hr edit in FCP X (v10.0.1) and chose to send it to compressor so I can encode my MPEG-2 files.
It takes approximately 5min for compressor to open and show the job to start with!
I then drag the MPEG-2 preset and click on it, the spinning ball comes up and takes approximately 10min before compressor reacts...!
Wondering if anyone else is having the same experiencing?

This issue can be caused by a corrupt local snapshot index. The procedure below will temporarily disable local snapshots and force the index to be rebuilt.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.

There's something wrong with my mac.Please help me

Two days ago I was using my MacBook doing my own things, when suddenly I wasn't able to use my trackpad or keyboard. Nothing worked except the power button, which I held down till my Mac shut itself down.
Then I powered it on again and it booted up normally, but again. I wasn't able to use my keyboard to log in.
Some hours later I got it somehow to boot into safe boot and the booting didn't finish. As I read that safe booting takes a lot of time, so I went to sleep and about twelve hours later it was still booting. (Apple logo & spinning gray wheel on the screen). So I shut my mac down and some hours later I turned it on and it booted up into safe boot. The keyboard + trackpad were working then. So,then I went to disk utility and it told me to repair disk (to insert the DVD and repair the disk through disk utility), but the problem is that I am not at home and I dont have disks with me. So I tried to boot into single user mode, but it didnt let me. Still booted into the safe boot.
Now the story repeats itself. Keyboard and trackpad arent responding. When once I booted into the safe boot(cmd+shift+v) it said something like socket is not connected.
So I restarted my mac and nothing isnt working.
Please help me! What can I do to save my computer and files?
I apologize for my bad English
(White MacBook Early 2008
10.6.8
4GB RAM
120GB HDD)

I cannot backup my files. Even not my school files. I wasn't able to do anything of my homework for tomorrow and so.
It does not boot up and when it did it didnt recognize any of my USB sticks, but USB keyboard and mouse worked.

Going online with two macs kills my internet connection!

Here is my situation. I have two macs an iMac and a MacBook.
I use Earthlink, have a BritePort modem and "HAD" Linksys wireless router. Everything was fine. No problems. I was able to get online with the two computers with ease, then I had problems connecting last week. If I went directly through the modem to my MacBook I can connect, but I would lose the internet intermittently throughout the day if i didn't.
Earthlink said everything was fine as far as signal reaching my modem. So I bought an Airport Extreme thinking it was the router. Both Macs connected wirelessly on their own but then I'd lose internet whenever BOTH tried to get online at the same time.
I would be working fine on my MacBook, but once my wife tries to get online with the iMac, it kicks us both off! If she's online on the iMac and I try to get online on the MacBook it kicks us off! This is what was happening with the Linksys too! I reconnected it, and it was only when both Macs accessed the internet that we both lost (or were fighting for) connection.
What is going on?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
What's the model number of your BritePort modem? When you examine the configuration of your AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility, in the Internet panel, Internet Connection tab, what are the settings for "Connect Using" and "Connection Sharing"?

MSI 870-G45 - something odd is going on with MSI

Ok, this is convoluted but bear with me.
I bought the MSI 870-G45 (MS-7599 v2.x) motherboard from Newegg. Newegg listed the chipset as the AMD 870. However, when I received the motherboard, the manual states that the chipset is actually the RX 780 (a.k.a. AMD 770 a chip from 2007/08!), I checked in CPU-Z and confirmed this. I built a rig with this motherboard on 8/15/2010.
I have been having all sorts of issues. These include memory errors when running memtest86+ or HCI memtest.
Today I come on to the MSI website to do some research on the motherboard and I see that the MSI 870-G45 is now listed as a "NEW" product and the chipset is now the AMD 870, as I originally thought. In fact, MSI has two versions of the 870-G45, depending on what link you visit. See the two links below:
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=2070
http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=&prod_no=2019#menu
The version I ended up with is the one in the first link.
Now, I have the AMD Athlon II X4 635. The product info page at AMD states that the voltages should be between .85v and 1.25v. ( http://products.amd.com/en-gb/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=625 ) However, even though the BIOS of this motherboard (the version with the 770 chipset, which is the one I got) supports this CPU, the "Auto" CPU voltage setting sets the voltage at ~1.35v - above the specs specified by AMD! Wondering if this might also be a cause of the difficulties I am having, I lowered it to 1.12. Running some more tests to see if this has improved stability.
So, two versions of one motherboard, with confusing numbering and Auto voltage that exceeds the specs from the CPU manufacturer. What the heck is going on?
Another issue is that the manual states on page 2-6 (21 on the PDF) states that to be in dual channel mode, I need to put my two DIMM cards in the slots DIMM1 and DIMM2. However, further down the page under the heading "Important", it states:
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type
and density in different channel DIMM slots.
This seems to be contradictory, but it is probably just me. Does it mean I install the two DIMMs in DIMM1 and DIMM2 or DIMM1 and DIMM3?

Thank you both for your input. I mistakenly thought this was run by MSI. Feel stupid. But since you were so kind to respond, I'll post my full system specs as you suggested:
AMD Athlon II X4 635 CPU
MSI 870-G45 AM3 Motherboard
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ)
GIGABYTE 1GB GeForce GTX 460
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM
ASUS DRW-24B1ST SATA 24X DVD Burner
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP 600W ( +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@25A, +12V2@25A, [email protected], [email protected] )
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Also just discovered that there are two versions of my CPU (C2 and C3 revisions). Perhaps that is where some of the confusion regarding voltages lie. Again, feel stupid.
Issues in a nutshell:
Computer ran fine for about 10 days. Then booted up a game and got crazy artifacts everywhere. Windows 7 also showed some artifacts when I went back to desktop. OS never crashed though. Windows has never crashed. Because of this, I suspected that my GPU went bad. Ran OCCT GPU test, Furmark and ATI tool and have artifacts on all three. Artifacts appear immediately upon starting test, so I don't think it is temperature related. Temp of GPU is under 40 C idle and highest under load is 77 C, which falls in line with what I read in reviews for card.
Now, before RMAing by video card with Newegg, I decided to download memtest86+ and run it. Just a hunch. I got an error on the first pass in test 2. However, I continued to run the test and saw no more errors. Ran the test again overnight for hours and could not recreate error. Thinking I may have gotten a false positive, I ran HCI Memtest (this one runs in Windows) and ran it for a few hours. That reported multiple errors as well. Now I am trying to run the test with one DIMM at a time to see if I can isolate which stick it is.
So I guess my questions are:
* What are the chances that I got a bad GPU and bad RAM from Newegg? Anything is possible but I thought that getting two lemons was unlikely, and when I then saw the discrepancies in the motherboard info on MSIs website I started to wonder.
* Could bad DRAM have any effect on GPU - as in displaying artifacts. Or would this strictly be a GPU issue?
* A member at another forum warned against leaving voltage settings in BIOS at Auto. This is what led me to look up the specs at AMDs website. What do you think about this recommendation.
Sorry if I came off a little harsh, I thought I was addressing MSI the company and was a bit miffed by two different versions of a board and with the fact that newegg was improperly stating the specs.
I appreciate any help you can give.

Something weird is going on with my iPhoto library!

Help! I tried to import a photo from my scanner and it didn't work. The only problem now is that each time I start up iPhoto I get a message...
"A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported. Would you like to import it?"
Whether I choose Yes or No I get the following message...
"Unreadable files: 1. The following file could not be imported." It then puts the file in a iPhoto recovered photos folder in my shared area.
This on its own wouldn't be a problem (just a nuisance) but since then I have been unable to import photos from anywhere else into iPhoto. When I try I get a different message that says...
"Unreadable files: 6. The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
I'm pretty sure the files are fine I can copy them to the computer and view them as jpegs but I can't get them into iPhoto.
Any ideas?

Yes that worked. I also realised that I'd tried to scan as another user on the Mac, so I logged in as that user and got rid of the offending photo.
So now I'm back in the original user and my Import folder is at the desktop and I can import new photos from my SD card...hooray! However when I try to move the import folder back to the iPhoto library I get the original error when trying to import new stuff. Am I stuck with my Import folder on the desktop? (Not a big deal if I am, just wondering)
Thank you!

Somthing strange is going on with my mac book!

All of the sudden, my mac book froze! So i tried to restart it by holding down the power button but it did not come back on. Then this weird logo of a file with a question mark on it started flashing on a grey screen. I tried plugging it into the wall and that did not help either. Any other ideas????

Sounds like you may have a massively corrupted or failed hard drive. Boot from the Install CD and see if you can repair the disk. If the disk shows up and a repair reports it was successful, but it still won't boot from the hard drive, you might try re-installing the OS.

Something wear is going on with my iPod

Hello!
I didn't know where else to post, so I'm going to post it here.
Basicly problem is that I can't get my iPod running at all. The weard thing is that it's working now and than. Here is how things developed:
I was using it like regulary, until one day, all my music was gone. iPod wasn't responding at all, so I just kept it in a drawer. Couple of days ago I've tried to reconnect it to iTunes. Didn't work, not only iTunes, half of my computer frozen. When I disconnected it from USB cable, everything was working fine. I can't remember how, but somehow I formated it. Installed new iTunes and after 1 hour, it showed iPod connected. With formating, there wasn't anything on iPod, so I chose to update the system, setting things right on this thingie. After update, I had to plug it on adapter due to low battery.
Next day I connected it to comp and again needed app. 1 hour for iTunes to recognise it. I synced it and than tried to add some music to it. Added songs to library and started syncing. Somewhere at the middle it showed an error about song being read-only and than iTunes froze. Since than, my computer doesn't even recognise this iPod anymore.
Any suggestion what to do since I've tried everything and it seems to be futile. I doubt disc went to ****, otherwise it wouldn't be formating and updating.
Thanks in advance.

Ok tried it again today: iTunes asked me to restore iPod. Tried it once, but it didn't work. So I formated it and than restored it with iTunes. After almost fully restoring it, iTunes asked me to connect it to other power source to finish the restoring process. When I do, folder icon with an exclamation point shows and doesn't do anything.

I don't know what is going on with my mac. (10.9.5) Do I have a virus? What to do?

I accidentally clicked a link and downloaded something I did not mean to. I put in my administrators password and it downloaded. Now every time I click on Safari, instead of google as my home page like normal, it redirects me to this "Only Search" site which has a lot of ads and looks like a very shady evil twin of google. Also whenever I click a link, an ad pops up in another tab. I have pop ups blocked in my settings, I have also tried multiple times to change my home page back to google. But each time it changes itself back to the "Only Search" site. Computer is also being very slow and laggy. Do I have a virus or trojan? If so what do I do about it?

Click here and follow the instructions, or if you'd rather use removal software, download and run Adware Medic. The second link is a direct download; if it gives you an error message, see this page.

Issues with my mac. please help

I cant get my mail icon to work/open it says its incomplete, also when I put my mac to sleep and want to wake it up later it has to load like it does when you shut it off and reboot it. any way to fix them two problem?
please help me !!!

This is likely Google Drive. Try quitting it for now, or going to its preferences and then unchecking the option to show sync icons and the right click menu. This should prevent the problem from happening until an update is available from Google.

Syncing with new mac, please advise

Hi. I currently sync my iphone with a G5, which i'm now selling. What is the procedure for syncing with a brand new mac? What do i need to do to make the switch over?
Obviously i don;t want to lose all my contacts, etc thats all i'm concerned about.
Thank you

Ideally, you should move your data from your old Mac to your new Mac directly. Since you're moving from a PPC-based Mac to an Intel-based Mac, I'd personally recommend against using Migration Assistant. Instead, you can move your files (including calendars, mail accounts, etc.) by following the detailed instructions in this User Tip:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
When you connect to the new Mac, your iTunes-managed media content will be replaced - that includes music, videos, ringtones, apps, and pictures. Items on the Info tab (contacts, calendars) will be synced as well - if the corresponding apps on the new Mac (iCal, Address Book) are completely empty, the data on the iPhone will be deleted. Thus, you're best bet is to have those data moved over as described above. Alternatively, if you create one new calendar entry and one new contact (make them up), you'll be prompted to choose to Replace or Merge the data - choose Merge and the contacts/events will be transferred from the iPhone to the new Mac.
Hole this helps, and good luck!

Information on going wireless with my internet please.

I am at present got the usual UK Internet set up of telephone cable modem to computer.
I would like to go wireless. I don't necessary need the latest equipment(cost).
PLUS!!
I have a Powerbook G3 Pismo and would like that to be wireless as well.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks in advance!

You'll have to get a wireless router. Some phone and cable companies will provide you with this along with instructions and support. But you could also go to the nearest computer or office store and buy an inexpensive ($50-100) wireless router and connect it to your dsl or cable modem. Then you'll need wireless adapters in both of your computers to pick up the signals. It's a great way to go especially for laptops.
