System Problems....What should I do?

I took my Mac Book in a couple of months ago to have it restored back to factory settings. I also upgraded my system to Mac OS X Mountain Lion. My Macintosh HD shows 216 GB available with a capacity of 248.68 GB. However when I go under the hardware section and look at the Serial ATA, it shows disk0s1, it shows 209.7 MB and disk0s2 at 249.2 GB. Everytime I try to download music to my computer, I get a message that states, "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation. I shouldn't be seeing something like this with 216 GB available right? And last and final thing. When I click on the icon of my Hard Drive is shows it as a startup volume and the symbol of the Network it show it as a Remote Volume. Is someone manipulating my system? If someone can answer this or point in the right direction on having someone look into this, please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
Based on the limited information you have provied, it looks like spool service (SPO) is missing from your installation.
Please check in your MMC and post more details and trace file.
Hope this helps.

I downloaded the new 9.? version told my PC to run it. It said to restart my system to take effect. I did. Every time I try to get on line it gives me the message that I need to restart my system. What should I do?

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

i broke my iphone 4s screen, then i tried to fix and replace it by myself. unfortunately, i cannot do that correctly. i also damaged my wifi parts and shut off button. and my new screen is very hard to drive and use. i really want to repair those 3 problems. what should i do? how much money will be cost?

Hello!
When there is unauthorized modifications on the iPhone Apple doesnt replace the product. Unfortunately you will need to get a new iPhone!
If you could have contacted Apple when you broke your screen you would be eligible to get a replacement after paying the Out of Warranty service fee.
All the best!

You can disable autoupdate by following these steps:
Go to main menu > Tools > Options > click on Advanced tab > click on Update tab and then click on the round radio button that says ''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''

If you want to reset your Apple ID password, you can do it from this link: https://iforgot.apple.com/
If your old password is wrong even here, than use the Apple Support Lane that can be found right here: https://expresslane.apple.com/
Good luck.

Having trouble with internet connections using my Apple G5. Updates turn out to be incompatible with my system. What should I do short of trashing the wonderful computer and spending cash I don't have on a new iMac?

Having trouble with internet connections using my Apple G5 OSX 10.4.11. Attempts to upgrade FireFox or Safari results in being incompatible with with this system. Tried to locate earlier versions to replace upgraded incompatible software only to find that problems have worsened with crashing results. What should I do short of trashing this wonderful G5 and purchasing a new iMac which I really can't afford?
Chuck's Dilema

Hi Chuck,
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.
Also...
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

Game froze my MacBook Pro, now I have internet problems-What should I do?

Hi,
I recently bought a game to play on my macbook pro, it is Sims Castaway Stories for Mac by Aspyr.
My laptop meets/exceeds the requirements to play it. It only uses little ram and hardrive space.
I installed it a few days ago, my laptop started to get really worked up 30-60 mins into playing the game. My laptop was making A LOT of noise and got pretty hot, I could hear that it was making a lot of effort to ventilate the heat out and to keep my laptop cool.
About 5 hours into playing the game My laptop completely froze and I had to force shut it down and restart.
Everything seemed fine when I restarted it. I played the game the next few days and it ran fine for over 5 hours. However my laptop is still very hot and noisy every time I play the game, and even when I don't have the game open, but just the disc in.
When I have the game running and go on the internet the videos I watch are distorted, images are fragmented + oddly colored, pages load in computer code, and pages won't load occasionally.
I have the same problems with my internet when the game disc is not in my laptop. (disc out= no super hot and hyperventilating laptop problems)
I have even uninstalled the game completely and the internet problems are still there.
I use google chrome, but I have the same problems on safari.
My home windows pc has the same internet problems as well, my second windows pc does not.
Is this a bad internet connection problem or has this game damaged my laptop?
What should I do?

The Internet is sent to you in packets with an error-detection code on them. Ones that come through with errors are rejected. Distortions and problems with display are caused by problems on your computer itself, not by bad data from the Internet.
Most games, including ones tied to the Internet, work your computer very hard. It will get hot. When it starts to get hot, the fans will go on high. Putting the DVD in the drive makes a motor spin it up and that causes heat as well.
Do you have enough RAM memory to support all the things you are doing at once? If not, your Hard drive will be on all the time to do Paging to simulate more RAM memory, and spinning its motor all the time will make your Mac really Hot.
To cool the underside by convection, at least 3/4 inch (20mm) space is needed underneath. A smaller space is not effective.

My iphone 5 stopped working, tried replacing the lcd but that was not the problem, what should I do?

my iphone 5 stopped working, i tried charging but wouldn't work. until the screen went all black and now it doesn't turn on. what should i do?? PLEASE help me

Sorry. Nothing we can do to help you. Any warranty has been voided and now that you opened it yourself, Apple won't touch it. Even out of warranty.
Try someplace like ifixit.com for advice.

Did you install iTunes?
Once downlaoded, iTunes should have installed, and open once installed.
If its not open you can look for it in your Start Menu in Windows or Finder in Mac.

As others have noted, this is a classic kernel panic (KP) and should happen with a new machine. AppleCare's Express Lane. Do note that if you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.
FWIW, see
What is a kernel panic,
Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics,
Mac OS X Kernel Panic FAQ,
Resolving Kernel Panics, and
Tutorial: Avoiding and eliminating Kernel panics for more details on KPs.

Disk 2 problem - what should I do?

I am reinstalling Tiger on my MacBook Pro (Core 2 duo, 2.2 Ghz) but Disk 2 seems to be damaged because whenever I insert it, it says that there was an error in the installation and won't continue with it. There is no way for me to install the system again without the sotware that comes on the second DVD, and nothing changes if I restart or if I insert Disk 1. It does not give me the option to go back to change the installation options so the laptop is basically useless at the moment until I get my hands on some Disk 2 that works (and my MacBook Air with Leopard didn't work - I didn't expect it but was curious)

You have to insert Disk one and Force Shutdown, start the Install process, but use the Custom. or Option button to cut down what gets installed, uncheck Languages, Printer Drivers, Fonts , & Applications that you don't need.
This should allow you to at least get a minimal system up & running.
several have had this 2nd disk issue, might call Apple for replacement(s).

I think my ipod might have a software problem what should i do????

i think my ipod has a software problem and i call the place i brought it from and they said for me to reset the whole thing so it would show the itunes logo and usb logo i tried to connect it to itunes nothing happened but my brothers one works so should i return it to the place i brought it frome because i have a garantee on it for 3 years so can any one give my some info on what i should do???????????????????????///

Yeah it shows the usb and itunes icons the guy from thr place I brought it from said to rest the whole thing by going to setting, genral, rest, erase all content and setting. It rest every thing and left me on the usb and itunes icons the guy said if it does not work then I should take it back to se if there is a sofeware issue and they will repalce it. When the ipod is connected to windows the ipod does not show up on itunes and now the ipod is at the usb and itunes icon I cant do any thing so I think there might be a software issue with it or something and my brother ipod is a touch too.
