The utility's menu isn't coming up when I press and hold r and command after restarting
I have a Macbook air and The utility's menu isn't coming up when I press and hold r and command after restarting. I'm trying to restore my mac to factory settings. I have version 10.10.2 OS X Yosemite.
Then try:
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

I downloaded and installed Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my old Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility. What's up?
It is likely that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1. If you checked the requirements, this only runs on Leopard or Snow Leopard Macs.
You have Lion, so you need AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion -
After reinstalling CS6 the bridge photo downloader isn't able to read raw files and fails to convert the raw files to DNG. Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. No such problem before this reinstallation.
You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

What mean by, the sign of the GPS ( the arrow head) is always active although there isn't any application is opened and also after restart the phone still active
Something is using location services. You can go into Settings, Privacy, Location Services, and see a list of what you have authorized for location services, and see a legend that tells what the display of the arrow head means and you should be able to compare it to the list to find out what app was using it.

my ipad mini does not restart when i press and hold the home and power buttons for a minute or more. what do i do? i really need to access some information on it. please help.
You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
Did you back up the device? -
I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning? Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.
File name and Title are not the same thing.
Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

when i try to download the new itunes it says it downloaded but when i go and click on it my computer says it wasnt downloaded correctly
It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

Hello, I have updated my iphone4s to iOS7 and now I cannot close any of my apps - I double click on button and they show but when I press hand hold the icons do not shake so i can not delete them
You don't press and hold them. Just swipe up.

I am super frustrated with Safari in ios 7. I do not have the pages icon on the bottom right of Safari ios 7. When I press the plus sign at the top right I see 'private' on the bottom left side but there are no buttons on the bottom right at all. I am trying to get Safari to have the tab Rolodex look of the tabbed windows. So I can see the pages. Hope this is making sense. Why am I not seeing the pages button on the bottom right of Safari?
Thanks!Bummer! Hopefully this will change in the future. At least I know now that I am not crazy for not seeing the pages icon! Thanks so much :)

CS6: Is there anyway hear the streaming audio when you press " " and " "?
Hey, I was wondering if there was a way for me to be able to hear my audio when I press "<" and ">" (skip frames)
It would benifit me when I'm doing lip syncing. Is there anyway to enable audio playing?
Also this is not a streaming audio question, it works just fine in the timeline. Just no audio plays when I press "<' and ">"Awesome, exactly what I was looking for <: Works like a charm!
This will be super useful for my future projects!
Thanks sooo much!! -
All the menu drop-downs just flicker when I press them.
All the menu drop-downs (File, Edit, View, etc.) don't display and hold when I press any of them. They flicker on but immediately the content disappears and all that's seen is a ghost outline of the drop-down box. This happens with the major menu items as well as all of the sub-menu items.
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
