  • Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

    Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • High CPU usage in system running nothing!!!

    I have a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2
    with Coldfusion 9.01 Standard Developer edition
    and MS-SQL 2008 Developer database server.
    I  use it mostly for testing and development. The system was working just  fine, but suddenly it started timing out queries, slowing down etc.
    Even  when nothing (no application, no schedule task, no sites etc) runs in  the system I noticed that it uses 25% - 40% of system CPU.for various  period of times. Sometimes for some minutes, sometimes for many hours or  days. After this period the CPU falls to 0%-1% again and the system  works fine. After some minutes or hours the CPU goes again to 25%-40%  for no reason.
    When I disabled the service "ColdFusion Application Server" then the CPU goes to 0%-1% and the system works fine permanently.
    I say it again, in the system there is no site, no schedule task, no datasource.
    In  the past all I had in the system was a group of Scheduled tasks. So I  deleted all scheduled tasks, I even deleted a datasource to a database I  had. So now there is no CF code running in the system. So then why the  service "ColdFusion Application Server" uses 25% - 40% of CPU resources  ????
    Any ideas ?????
    Anastassios

    Yes, Anastassios, it's not as unusual as you think.
    I would recommend that you look at the CF runtime (or JRun) logs. If on CF Standard or Enterprise Server, look in \runtime\logs. If running Enterprise Multiserver, look in \logs. In either case, look for the most recently written "out" log (or around the time of the problem). I suspect you're having outofmemory errors (look for that string, specifically, no spaces).
    Now, don't assume that if you get them that it means you need to "add more heap". In fact, you may be better suited by using less. The question depends on the error you get. If it says "heap", then perhaps yes you need more heap (but maybe instead something us holding heap longer than it should--yes, even when no requests are running, like sessions, query caches, application scope, etc.)
    But the outofmemory error may say something else, like "unable to create new native thread", or "swap space", or "permgen", and so on. These do NOT mean you need to add more heap, and may mean you'd be served well by lowering it.
    There are far too many permutations to elaborate. I started a series of entries on the subject:
    CF911: Lies, damned lies, and when memory problems not be at all what they seem, Part 1
    http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/11/3/when_memory_problems_arent_what_th ey_seem_part_1
    I never finished it, but you may get value from what is there to start it out.
    I will say that if you are still stumped and need help solving this, this sort of CF server troubleshooting is what I do for a living and I'd be happy to help. I can often solve such problems in less than an hour or two. More at www.carehart.org/consulting/. In any case, I hope the above is enough to get you started on your own.

  • What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit?  Makes my PC run like a 286 on Windows 3.11.

    What's up with iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit?  So slow and draggy.  Makes my high end PC with multi-core processor and video card run like a 286.  Even did this after doing a fresh install of the operating system with the latest version of iTunes. 
    No other software does this on my machine.  There has to be some crazy issue causing this.

    Try this,
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • I need collect some system information like free disk size how can i do ?

    I wrote a backup applications on client/server style. But i can collect some information about system like free disk size , running application or running services( especially on windows).
    i know i can do with using system commands like dir, ls etc..
    But i want to collect this sysem informations with native java api and codes.
    Dou you know any java api ?
    Please i need help urgent ...

    There is nothing in Java to do that. The Java language is independent of the os, and doesn't support (many) os-specific attributes.

  • Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?

    So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server.  In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers.  The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases.  There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
    Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?  Are there any details that are particularly important to get right?  Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
    There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course.  I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them.  That would complicate such an approach.  I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.

    yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
    OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
    i do not recall having any problems with it.

  • Executing system commands like cd on Linux from Java Code

    Hi,
    I need to execute a few system commands (like cd, ls, tar, etc.,) on RedHat Linux 7.1 from Java code. Any ideas plz.
    best wishes,
    Issac

    Since this thread mentioned using the DOS START command
    from an exec(), I was wondering whether anyone else is
    seeing the odd behavior I am.
    Most of the examples showing how to read stdout and stderr
    while the process is running show simple loops that use
    getInputStream and getErrorStream and do read's until they
    get back -1. Most of these examples are insensitive to the
    state of the Process.waitFor that happens elsewhere and sort
    of rely on the -1 and the waitFor happening roughly together.
    Whenever I use this technique to launch an arbitrary DOS
    command (e.g. Runtime.exec("dir")), it works fine, and
    everything seems to terminate as expected.
    However, when my command is something like:
    Runtime.exec("cmd /c start my.bat")
    where I deliberately use the START command to fork off
    a different process, something odd happens.
    Those simple read loops get an initial burst of stdout/stderr
    bytes from the "start" part of the command. But then eventually,
    these loops do a "read" which blocks on those InputStreams. Now,
    even if my Process.waitFor returns (because the start returned
    immediately), those read loops stay blocked **until that script
    started by 'start' runs to completion**. It is like the child
    of the child is holding those streams open somehow.
    I found that by doing something like an InputStream.available() or
    a BufferedReader.ready( ) check before dropping into the read,
    and allowing the Process.waitFor completion to exit those read loops,
    them I get what I expect -- namely immediate return from the START,
    but apparently complete copies of stdout and stderr.
    Curiously, in the case where the reads block until the child process
    started by START terminates, they still don't get the child's/child's
    stdout and stderr. It is just a long duration thread block that
    yields no data.
    Can anyone explain what is happening to a
    Process.getInputStream( ).read()
    when the process immediately does a START and returns? Why would
    the read( ) stay blocked when the START finished launching a new child
    process?

  • I have a macbook pro 4,1 early 2008 model running on 10.6.8 snow leopard was wondering if upgrading to moutain lion will make my system run slow?

    MBP 4,1 running 10.6.8 snowleopard and it runs great but i was wondering if upgrading to moutain lion will make run slower?

    Lion is still available but you have to Call Apple to order it and then they send you a Redemtion Code to your Apple ID Email address that you use on the Mac App Store to download it.
    But in all honesty even Lion is going to make your system run slower then it now does. Lion, like Mt Lion, uses more system resources then Snow Leopard. I can see the difference on my 2011 MBP with 8GBs of RAM and a fairly fast hard drive. Snow Leopard boots and runs faster then Lion and more so then Mt Lion.
    What you need is a New or Newer MBP. If that is not an option then the only thing I can say is give Lion a try. That is AFTER you do a complete Time Machine Backup of your current Snow Leopard install just in case you need to go back.
    By the way Apple replaced the Logic board in your system with the same Faulty NVidia chip install in it. Apple Never Updated the NVidia chip used on those logic boards. So odds are sometime in the future, Near or Far, that board will fail again.

  • Macbook running like garbage after 10.10.3 update

    So I have been running Yosemite on my 13inch MacBook from 2008 with no issue
    until I did the recent 10.10.3 update two days ago. Since the update, my laptop
    is not functioning properly and is running incredibly slow. It takes 20x longer
    to load up after being shut off and safari will not open. After the update it
    took almost 4 hours for the mouse spinning wheel to stop spinning. I have tried
    all posted suggestions including running disk utility and ETRECHECK. I tried resetting
    the PRAM, running in safemode and deleting the "com.Apple.Plist" document from my
    computer. Nothing has worked.
    I even booked an Apple genius appointment and drove 60 minutes to the store.
    The Staff was not helpful what so ever and there only suggestion was to buy a
    new Macbook. My laptop worked flawlessly prior to the update and is now running
    like complete garage. I am so mad right now. Any help would be appreciated.
    Just ran Etrecheck prior to posting this and it states: Macintosh HD (disk0s2) / :499.25 GB (445.68 Free) - 21 errors
    I updated my harddrive to a 500GB unit and my ram to 8gb about 1 1/2 years ago. I have had no issues until now

    Make a backup first. You should have done that before upgrading. Repair the hard drive, which may be failing, by restarting into your recovery partition and running Disk Utility. Reset the SMC Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support Do the reset two or three times.

  • Why does quicktime run like crap?

    Why does quicktime run like crap, skips frames like crazy? If I install xvid codecs instead and play the movies in windows media player they play without a glitch. Why is that? I'm must say I'm not impressed with the first apple software I've tried. Also another annoying thing... I don't want iTunes and all the other crap with it! Just quicktime. Also almost all the menu's are blocked with pro upgrade.... do apple customers have to buy quicktime pro as well?

    Impossible to say, "allp", without knowing anything about your system, the version of QT you're running, nor the movies you're trying to play and from what medium you're playing them. QT movies work just fine on my Dell Dimension 8200 (specific specs on request).
    You can download QuickTime alone, without iTunes, here.
    And yes, the menus involved with editing and exporting will almost all be nonfunctional until you buy the Pro upgrade. And it's the same with Macs as with Windows; we all have to purchase the Pro upgrade to get that functionality.

  • Upgraded to Mtn Lion, runs like a tortoise

    Upgraded to Mtn Lion, runs like a tortoise: how do I speed up my system?

    Ok, so then we can proceed to determine what process is sucking up all CPU cycles. Have a look in Activity Monitor, sorting out processes by %CPU (click on the column label). Holler back if you need help identifying what each process is.
    May also want to check out the items in the bottom pane for more clues:
    In CPU, check out how much %User, %System and %Idle is the total CPU time being apportioned. On a personal computer, most should be in idle time (compared to a server). Note that people have reported that ML has a lot more background processes running than Lion did.
    System memory will show how your 8GB are being used. In mine, free mem (green) is usually from a fourth to almost half of the total, unless I'm running heavy duty stuff like VMW Fusion and a VM or two. Check also the swapping activitu (page ins vs. page outs).
    In Disk Activity, if you're doin' nothing, so should the drive; if something is pegging it, will need to find out who the culprit is.
    Same for Network. Unles you're downloading multiple copies of the ML installer or othe such massive undertakings, traffic should be light unless some unknown is hogging the wire.
    Hope this helps.

  • Reading locale system properties like set-variables of a windows Client

  • How to disable system keys like alt+ctrl+delete...

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is any way to disable system keys like alt+ctrl+delete and windows logo key etc... I would like it to get disabled when ever my java application is visible and I want it in pure java.
    Thanks,
    regards,
    Jay

    Thanks for all your replies but hey I've seensome
    program ( downloaded from google ) do suchthing.
    What they do is some kinda image thing appearsin
    the
    full screen mode and do all the tasks what I'veopt
    for. So, I'm confused what is being done in
    those
    programs.
    Even if it is doable (Ctrl, Alt Delete I don't
    think
    will be, Windows Key should be) It will not via
    Java,
    but JNI. So you would be better off hunting overthe
    MSDN.137256 speaks the truth. Ctrl-Alt-Delete is a
    HARDWARE interrupt caught by the OS. In modern
    Windows it launches a widget that can be used to
    shutdown, logoff or run task manager. I have many
    doubts about what the OP is saying.
    All hail Sun.Indeed 3021. CAD is active even when Windows isn't. I experienced this recently, and never want to again.

  • Logic 7.2 made my dual 2ghz G5 run like a G4.

    Hi guys,
    I guess i have to give my 2 cents about this new update.
    This update just made my dual 2ghz G5 run like a G4.
    The cpu just went to the roof.
    I open a garage band synth and played a few notes on my keyboard with nothing else on the arrangement and i could not believe my eyes...the processor was going up and down as i was playing the notes about %15 of the cpu.
    I open the last session i was working on and the difference was shocking.
    Apple are very clever company...they made this update for Intel and it seams that the next updates will be even more power hungry for G5 users.
    So we are FORCED to buy new machines if we want to continue with the horsepower.
    I love my Mac's and respect Apple like no other company... but this as made me very unhappy indeed...
    I loved my system like none i add before in my live and now i think i just have to reinstall the system and get back 7.1.
    One thing i did notice that made me very happy.
    The support for controllers...My korg 49 controller now rocks even more.
    If you have a control surface check the new ficture...simple amazing.
    And rewire is also nice.
    Just wanted to leave my 2cents.
    Take care

    I'd try reinstalling logic and the usual OS
    troubleshooting.
    I have no choice to try that...
    Word to the wise - when installing a new version of Logic, ALWAYS backup the old one! Copy it, zip it if you have to, whatever. Emagic used to just install a new app, but Apple updates the current one, so, it makes sense to backup. (In other words, back up what you've got right now for the future!)
    I haven't gone past 7.1 yet, but I've got versions of Logic 5 and 6 sitting right in the next folder, for when I need to try something/revert/fix problems/track bugs, etc. Plus they're duplicated on another drive...
    You need to have options; don't let yourself work without them.
