  • Toolbar slow and error box flashes across screen

    i noticed that when i startup my new install of mountain lion, not only does my toolbar take a while to load up and is initially missing a few icons but also a box flashes across the screen after a few seconds.  I cannot read what it is because its so fast, but i was wondering what could be causing this.
    i initially upgrades the software but my machine was really slow.. so i did a clean install using my external hardrive and then went in and migrated data from a timecapsule backup.
    i had alot of sporadic issues with this new operating system and i am frustrated.  any ideas?

    Hi Gulliver
    Thanks again. On Monday the machine refused to boot at all. I started it from the DVD and disk utility couldn't see the HDD; took it to our PC tech support folks yesterday and asked them to have the drive out. They put it in a test machine and ran Fujitsu's diagnostics which reported no errors. On putting it back into my machine the problems appear to be solved We are guessing that there was a loose connection in the ribbon cable that connects the drive to the main board!! Reseating it seemed to solve it. I bought a second 80 Gb drive and cloned the disk, updated to 10.4.6 and am now hoping for the best. Thank you again for your attention to my problem.
    Cheers
    George

  • ITunes 7.3 problem synching and error message

    OK so the first thing that was happening was the error:
    The iPod is connected so a low speed 1.1 USB port. For better performance you should connect it to a high speed 2.0 port if one is available on your computer.
    I didn't always get this message, just in the last few months, I assume after a software update. Everything worked fine, I just got the message everytime I connected the iPod to the computer and used iTunes. I thought I had USB 2.0 but I guess I have 1.1.
    Then next error message is: The iPod cannot be synched. The required file is in use.
    So the BIG problem is, when I try to sync my music library to the iPod, it will only go so far and then the iPod disconnects. I get the Device Removal error message: The decice you removed was not properly put away. Data might have been lost or damaged…
    Then the iPod freezes and I have to reset it manually. SOMETIMES though the iPod has not frozen, and will automatically reconnect, try to sync, only to disconnect again, and then freeze. It happens when I let it automatically try to sync, AND if I choose to sync just a few folders at a time. I have restored the iPod, updated the software. I think it is a problem with version 7.3 but I'm not sure as I hadn't used the iPod for a while, so can only assume that in the meantime there was a software update, I updated, and then a week or two later only connected the iPod to charge/sync.
    When I called Apple, the rep hadn't heard of anything like this. So I tried the computer at work, it synched fine, but I think it had version 7.2. And no USB error message, but it's a new Mac Pro.
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I have been getting this error message for a while - I narrowed it down to the calendar and contacts files.
    Mount your ipod through itunes. From the desktop, open the ipod to the calendars and contacts folders - drag those contents to the trash, empty the trash, and re-sync the contacts and calendars through itunes.
    I don't know why this happens, but I have seen it happen on 4 different ipods (15gb 3g, 30gb 5g video, 2gb nano, 4gb nano), no matter what the version of itunes on what platform.
    Hope this helps.

  • App world problems - stalling and error id 31203

    Can someone explain the error id 31203 for me please!!
    I have been unable to access app world. All other functions are fine. I have tried on several different networks and always the same. When I download a free app a green circle spins infinitly and with paid apps I get the message above
    My blackberry id is working fine. 
    I have tried from my pc and got an internal server error.
    I have tried hard restart, I have tried security wipe.
    None of this has helped.
    This is a new PlayBook and app world has never worked. 
    I have tried contacting blackberry support but they have refused to help, I bought my PlayBook in a UK store in Ireland and was told that the PlayBook should not be available in Ireland, my warranty is invalid and basically was advised to go away! I have spoken to other users in Ireland who have had no problems at all so the fact I am in Ireland doesn't seem to be it.
    At this point I am very frustrated and wondering can anyone help or should I go buy an iPad or galaxy tab?

    HI,
    I take it you have actually checked that these contacts have Messages Enabled on their iPhones ?
    I find I can SMS my wife's iPhone when I am not on Wifi at work.
    However I don't get her replies back.
    I have a Pay as You Go contract  and have Data turned Off as the Carrier even charges for Location Services.
    I have a feeling that people not being on WiFi and not enabling SMS is part of the issue in these cases.

    wen6275,
    It looks like you're actually using a camera or phone to take a photo of your monitor.
    That's not what is commonly known as a "screen shot". 
    It looks like you're on a Mac.  Hitting Command+Shift+3 places a capture of the contents of your entire monitor on your Desktop; hitting Command+Shift+4 will give you a cross-hairs cursor for you to select just the portion you want to capture.
    I'm mentioning this because I fear I'm not construing your original post correctly when you type "I am working with a large files [sic], currently it has 149 layers, all of which are high resolution photographs", so I'm wondering if there's some similar use of your own idiosyncratic nomenclature in your description of your troublesome file.
    Perhaps I'm just having a major senior moment myself, but I'm utterly unable to imagine such a file.  Would you mind elaborating?

  • Multiple (but separate) domain problem & Apple's slow and useless response

    I am having problem with multiple (but separate) domain. I opened a ticket.
    Here is Apple's slow and useless response and my follow up.
    This follow up is not going to resolve the issues I am having. The sites are not in one domain file. I have split them into separate domains. I found that the simplest change to any page made the publishing process extremely and reasonably slow. If I updated a single site, iWeb republishes the whole conglomeration; hardly the most efficient way.
    I have several directories under the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory with separate Domain.sites2 files for each site:
    consultingAM.com
    DarkAssassinMovie.com
    Fuzzy Llama Junior Optimist Club
    GulfportOptimist.com
    OptimistView
    pAwesomeProductions.com
    www.nfdoi.com
    With the previous version of iWeb, I navigated to a specific ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory, selected the Domain.site file, and opened it. This would open iWeb with the selected domain. Several of the sites have their blog page with the RSS subscribe option.
    Once I made the update, all I usually had to do was publish site and all was well. Occasionally, I would have to do a publish all if I changed domains. All in all, I had no problems with publishing once I found the right steps to be able to maintain multiple domains.
    Now, using the default publish or publish all process, all I get is the last site I published. In order to get things semi-functional, I published a site, then I would go to iDisk/Web/Sites/ directory, select the folder name for the site I had just published, then copy it or move it to iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb directory. This was rather slow and I suspect it is not an approved solution, but it semi-worked. My sites are back up, but they are not fully functional.
    Is there anyway to get back to using the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory (separate Domain.sites file for each site) process to publish multiple sites? If not, is there any way to suck in the various domains back into one? If that is possible, will it take hours to publish the combined 2-3GB like it did with the previous version?
    How do I reverse the 'personal domain' process? I do not want to do this at this time. I just wanted to see what the steps were. I have done the first step, but not the second.
    I was glad to see some of the changes made in the upgrade (web widgets, maps, html snippets, theme switching), but I am too happy about the changes made by the upgrade process. In the past, I upgraded my Apple related stuff as soon as it came out. Based on this upgrade, that won't happen again.
    It took you guys 5 days to get back to me (during which time several of my sites were down) and I do not believe the information you provided is going to solve my specific problems. I am very disappointed with the results of this upgrade. Clearly there was inadequate testing of this product before it was released. I cannot recall seeing the Apple discussion forums with hundreds of topics and thousands of posts within a week or two of a new release. Apple had to upgrade iWeb in the first week, another poor sign.
    Apple is beginning to slip back to the pack; all vendors all below average. Apple is getting more like Microsoft everyday. First Apple delays the release of an OS upgrade so they can concentrate on a freaking phone, now you release software that is so buggy it should be classified as beta at best.
    Some of the changes/problem I am seeing since the upgrade (in addition to the problems mentioned previously) are:
    layout changes; some of my pages no longer look the same; same of the changes are so bad the pages are unreadable
    broken photo pages; some of my photo pages no longer work; some of them have no text or pictures
    file/page name changes; why would Apple change the location of the files; now my domains are not pointing right location; special characters (like spaces, ampersands, etc.) are handled differently in this version; specifically, I see that spaces are changed to underscores (_); iWeb used to use '%20' for spaces; what was Apple thinking?
    broken 3rd party themes; I know Apple is not responsible for 3rd party themes, but you should certainly be aware that they exist
    Based on what I am seeing online, most of the people who are complaining about major iWeb issues are not newbies; based on the technical details in the threads, there are clearly some experienced people who are trying to figure things outw. I have lost many hours trying to figure this mess out. I now have to review hundreds of pages to try get things to look and work the way they did before the upgrade. I have had to handle dozens of phone calls and emails from my viewers and subscribers trying to explain the situation.
    I googled 'iweb 08 *****' and got nearly 50,000 hits! I think Apple better get in front of this train before it gets run over.

    Dear David,
    I understand that you are experiencing an issue viewing some of your websites published in iWeb:
    I have examined all of the published pages and they appear to load and function as expected. If you published your website to .Mac, you can visit it either of these ways:
    - In iWeb, click the Visit button in the lower-left corner.
    - Enter the following URL into a web browser:
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/
    If you have published more than one website, the URL above will take you to the default website, which is the first website listed in iWeb. To visit another website you have created in iWeb, use the following URL format:
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/YourSiteName
    Using this form, the web addresses for the two sites you mentioned would be:
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/FuzzyLlamaJuniorOptimist.com
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/pAwesomeProductions.com
    To change the default website, simply open iWeb, and in the Site Organizer, drag the desired default website to the top and republish to .Mac.
    NOTE: Be sure to give each website a unique name. This will help prevent one website from overwriting another. For further information, refer to the following article:
    iWeb: Do not use similar names for your sites
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n303042
    If you still experience issues with the website, try the following troubleshooting steps:
    WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES
    If your website has movies, you may need to wait several minutes after going to the website before the movies are ready to play. The QuickTime Player icon indicates that a movie is still loading.
    CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE
    If you use Safari, you can clear your browser cache by choosing Empty Cache from the Safari menu. If you use another browser, consult that browser’s documentation if you need assistance in clearing your browser cache.
    UPDATE YOUR BROWSER
    Make sure you are using the latest available version of your web browser when viewing pages published in iWeb. If you use Safari, you can check for updates by choosing Software Update from the Apple menu. If there are any available Safari, Security, or Mac OS X updates, install those updates and try looking at your website again.
    If you use another browser, consult that browser’s documentation if you need assistance in updating the browser.
    TRY ANOTHER BROWSER
    If you use a Mac, try viewing your website with Safari or Firefox. If you use Windows, try Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox. Firefox is a free download available here: http://getfirefox.com
    TRY ANOTHER NETWORK
    If possible, try viewing your website from another network or Internet connection. If you can successfully view the website from another network, please consult your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) to resolve this issue.

    Sub Issue : I can't publish to .Mac from iWeb
    Comments : I was interested in forwarding one of several iWeb based sites to one of my domains. I wanted to see what the steps were. I believe I inadvertently started the process for moving the site to www.nfdoi.com site. I have several sub directories under the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb directory with separate domain.sites files (now domain.sites2).
    I was going through all of my domain.sites files and opening them in iWeb08; then publishing them. Somewhere along the line everything blew up. Most of my iWeb sites no longer function, It appears that every other iweb site other www.nfdoi.com is down EXCEPT the last one I published. I have made a mess of things and would appreciate any help.

    Apple TV will go through a restart after the reset and you will have to select your network then log in with your network or Airport Express password.  You will then have to turn on home sharing and It will then ask you for your Apple ID for the iTunes store and then the password.  At this point you may not see your library, because the Apple TV wants you to turn on home sharing on your home computer that is hosting the movie library.  Turn off home sharing on that computer, restart iTunes and turn on home sharing again.  After this is done you should be able to see you library listed under the computer.
    After going through these steps, when I select an HD movie from my iTunes library the movie comes up after about a 5 second delay.
    Hope this helps!  I am back up for business.

  • Computer slower and a few other strange problems since upgrading to SL

    Hi all,
    About a month ago, I upgraded my mid-2009 MBP to SL. I'm now on 10.6.1. Ever since the upgrade, my computer's been somewhat slower than it was when I ran Leopard (although many people I know say their machines are faster). I did restart several times at one point, and that seemed to speed it up, although it still experiences delays I didn't have before. I've also had a bunch of strange issues:
    1) Safari is most noticeably slow, especially when using something like Top Sites on Safari 4. I alleviated this problem somewhat by setting new tabs to open a blank window rather than Top Sites, but even so, Safari is generally slower, gives me 'pinwheels' often, and also is less stable.
    2) The other day, I restarted to find that all fonts except system fonts had been mysteriously deactivated. As a designer, I rely heavily on my many fonts, which I manage using Linotype FontExplorer.
    3) Today, I opened my computer up after having it sleeping in a backpack, and it had turned off. It was not out of battery; it had just turned off for no apparent reason.
    4) Judging by Activity Monitor, RAM is being used somewhat more heavily by the system, contrary to the advertisements of a 'lighter' footprint for SL as compared to Leopard. However, according to Activity Monitor (which I check frequently), the processor does not appear to be getting taxed any more heavily than under Leopard, which makes the sluggishness more inexplicable.
    5) Yesterday, I could not get my computer to recognize my Time Machine backup disc. After restarting, it worked, but this is a pain.
    I appreciate any advice I can get. Does anyone else have similar problems or solutions? Or is the general consensus that these are SL bugs that Apple will work out by about 10.6.4 or so?
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    I began this thread awhile ago, but the essence of it is that I had a number of strange problems, although mostly my computer was just slower, when upgrading from Leo to SL.
    I've now wiped my HD and re-installed SL. It seems faster, although there are still a few issues:
    1) iWork (Pages, Numbers) has very weird coloring. All the text looks light blue and/or cyan, and I can't fix it.
    2) Although initially Safari worked great, lately it's been going back to its habits of being slow and showing strange things like chopping up the 'Top Sites' view, i.e. rendering it in an off way.
    3) Adobe CS3 will not install properly. I get them loaded up, but when I try to launch a program, I get an error that says "licensing for this product has stopped working". I cannot get to the 'activate' page, even though I uninstalled and deactivated CS3.
    In the interest of full disclosure, I did restore my home account after clean installing SL-- maybe I should have brought the files over folder by folder rather than bringing back my whole home folder with its settings? I wonder if I accidentally brought over Adobe's FLEXnet folder too.
    Also, does anyone know if Adobe CS3 can cause these problems with Safari and other programs? It just seems that the whole machine was slower after installing CS3, even though I wasn't running the programs.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • My Adobe Muse website wont publish, it's running slow and showing a server error

    I've had a website in adobe muse that I've published many times before with no errors. After publishing, It tries to upload the site and loads it very slow and stops at about 69% and says the server is not connected, even though I have internet, checked the firewall and updated the cache in explorer. I was able to upload another website that I have on Muse, it loaded slowly also, stopped at 97%, I resumed it and it loaded.  What to do next?

    The site is hosted through business catalyst: northstarconservancy.org. I've had no issues with this website in three years and have been able to edit and publish with no problems. It shows a server error and says to check my network connection. I noticed that adobe was working on their server the night before I had this issue, so I will probably have to call the tech support and see whats up with it, since it seems related. Thanks, Amanda

  • Disk too slow and system overload error

    I like many other users am having problems with the "disk too slow or system overload error (-10010)." It only seems to occur during playback attempts, seeing as I recorded with no problems yesterday, and only began happening today (granted, I have not tried recording anything since this started happening). I have tried changing the buffer size (still occurs at all levels), and, as per noted in a similar post, ensuring that my computer does not at any time put drives to sleep. All my sessions are stored on an external Toshiba Canvio Connect 2.0 TB drive connected directly to my computer via USB.
    My setup (I know that this is going to draw a lot of criticism) is a macbook air with 2 gb 1067 MHz DDR3 ram and a 1.4 GHz intel core 2 duo processor, running OS X 10.9.3. While I am fully aware (I promise) that these are well below the recommended numbers, I have been using this configuration since June without any problems whatsoever.

    Clancy,
    No problem!
    I also added it to the Useful links and resources for Logic Pro X  page in the tips sections....
    Cheers..

  • New to MacBook - slow LAN file transfer problem

    My new MacBook is painfully slow when wifi-ing to my house LAN.
    I turned in my old G4 iBook for a MacBook (2GHz C2D, 2GB, 10.4.9, all updates). I have a LAN that consists of a wired 1G Ethernet backbone (a Mini and a Powermac G5 are wired in) and a Snow AEB that provides 802.11g wifi access to the LAN. The wired LAN connects to a D-Link GB Ethernet switch so the wired systems can exchange files fast. The switch connects to a D-Link EBR2310 router that connects to a cable modem to ComCast. The router has the latest firmware (1.05, it's an 'A' version router).
    The Mini, G5, and MB are static IPs on the LAN. The D-Link router passes out DHCP addresses >100, with addresses <101 reserved for static LAN IPs. I use static IPs for network reliability when recovering from power outages and other unforeseen glitches. The LAN has worked very well in this configuration, with fast file transfers among machines and good stability.
    With my old 802.11g G4 iBook, I was able to watch DVDs that are stored on an external FW drive connected to the Mini. No stalls, no pauses, no dropouts - MenuMeters showed an average throughput of about 700KBytes/sec on the iBook when viewing a DVD. I used both VLC and DVD Player with good results.
    With my new MacBook, I can't view my DVD files. 802.11g network transfer rates to the MB (indicated by MenuMeters and by Activity Monitor) vary rapidly from a high of about 1.1 MBytes/sec to 20 KBytes/sec. Movies stall, skip, etc.
    Simple file copies from one system to another are also much slower with the MacBook - an average of ~100KBytes/sec vs. ~ 1.5 MBytes/sec with my old iBook. In short, the MacBook is dog-slow in file transfers from the other machines compared with my old iBook when using the wifi connection, with no change to the network infrastructure in going from the old laptop to the new. I would like to fix this.
    My AEB is set up in bridge mode (simple access point) with WPA2 security. All three Macs are completely current with latest updates, as is the Snow AEB. The MB has 4 bars of signal strength. Slow file transfer problem does not change when moving the MB to or from the AEB.
    Curiously, when I download a large file (like the Intel 10.4.9 combo update), the MB shows a steady ~800KBytes/sec download speed, with none of the speed variation it shows with file transfers from either the Mini or the G5. File transfers to/from the MB to either of the other Macs are very slow.
    Both the Mini and the G5 have Airport cards: when I switch them from wired Ethernet LAN to wifi LAN, they transfer files between each other at ~ 2MBytes/sec - about what you'd expect from an 802.11g protocol. So the slow file transfer doesn't seem to be due to the AEB, it seems to be specific to the MacBook. When I connect the MB using its hardware Ethernet port, files transfer just as fast as the other systems.
    I have tried these measures, without effect on the problem:
    - power off/restart of every component in the system;
    - changing the AEB to an open network mode;
    - changing the MB from static IP to DHCP;
    - toggling IPv6 on/off;
    - running no applications other than Finder on all systems;
    Activity Monitor on the MB doesn't show anything sucking up CPU cycles during file transfers. I have plenty of RAM. The only thing I've changed in the network is the swap of the iBook for the MacBook.
    Can anyone suggest what else I can try to make acquisition of this nice shiny MacBook a step forward, rather than a step back? Thank you!

    Hi,
    Did you want to use the Live Migrations for that?
    We recommend that you configure separate dedicated networks with gigabit or faster speed for live migration traffic and cluster communication, and these networks should be separate from the network used by the management operating system, and from the network

    Have you tried resetting your iPad? You may have to restore again if there was a problem.
    Try the reset first.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
