Virus or not in Retina Mac??? Big problem for me help!!!

Sometime ago (forgot when), my Mac will suddenly use up all the storage spaces and RAM. I have to restart the computer then the used strorage will restore. Glad that this doesn't always happen, but still occasionally. Anyone knows what's the problem?
Please help me ^^

Here's a link to the Mac Walware Guide for you to review if you belive think you might have a virus, but it doesn't sound like you really have one.

I would also recommend trying the free "Memory Clean" app in the App Store to quickly free up memory on your mac. I use it daily and it's pretty good.
Good luck!

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.

Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Cannot Access .mac BIG PROBLEM

This is huge problem. My macbook does not load any mac.com/ pages. If it is mac.com/something it will not load. My imac will load. Any ideas.

Anybody else having this problem?

PSE does not open the editor from LR 4.4.......a big problem for a lot of people.

I have PSE 12 and LR 4.4 on iMac 10.9.5. My LR preference is set to PSE Editor and was done so by LR, I cannot change it. When I try to edit in PSE, an 8 bit Tiff is created then I get the error message that "there was a problem.......". In the details is this line:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeLinguistic.framework/Versions/3/AdobeLinguistic
Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
Reason: image not found
I do not understand this, but the problems seems related to the Library, which, I don't know. I had PSE 12.1, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled PSE 12.0 (I can no longer update back to 12.1). It made no difference, same error message.

BTW, I tried moving the Editor app from the support file into the app folder per fixes on this issue in the past.

Not sure which Mac to get for FCP/Avid... Input much appreciated

Hello,
My question is...
I work in television production and I am making the move to get into editing and I plan on purchasing a Mac in the next few weeks, and I am looking for a bit of advice.
Basically I would like to run FCP on the Mac, and if possible I would like to be able to run a version of Avid Express. The projects that I will work on at home will probably be run through FCP, but if possible I would like to be able to install some version of Avid on the same machine to help me learn.
My main question is... I actually have a television that I purchased about 2 1/2 years ago that has an easy option to use it as a computer monitor, and first off I would like to see if you can tell if this will work for a Mac Pro... Secondly, would it make more sense to shell out $2500 for the Mac Pro and use my existing monitor, or should I go with an Imac and not use my monitor. Basically I would like to know if there is a major difference between a low level Mac Pro and a higher end Imac. I am just a bit uncertain what would be the best way to go. My limit would be $2500 but I would really like to keep it around $1700.
I am not sure if my tv/monitor can handle graphically what would be done so I have included a link for the model that I have.
Any input would be appreciated.
Westinghouse LTV-27W2 27" Widescreen Progressive-Scan LCD TV

You might - just - get a Mac Pro for $1700, if you bargain-hunt, but bear in mind that you'll likely need to upgrade the RAM, and certainly get hold of a decent amount of HD space for your media and renders for both programs. Check lowendmac.com regularly - they have a good range of vendors with used and refurb models.
Avid no longer sells Xpress Pro - it's all Media Composer now. Note that Avid does have very specific hardware requirements for supported systems. Not even every Mac Pro is supported (which doesn't necessarily mean it won't run, but you may have problems with it). Pay close attention to which graphics card you're getting, and check that table. Also, Media Composer requires specific versions of OS X and Quicktime, so you'll either have to settle on one system (and avoid Software Updates) or have different systems (eg, two partitions) for the two programs.
Your television has a DVI input, which will work fine with either a Mac Pro or an iMac. Note that Mac Pros still have one DVI port; for an iMac, you'll need the separately-sold Mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor. Either way, it will be fine for video editing.

ITunes Store is not loading at all - same problem for Safari

Dear all,
Got the a.m. problem. iTunes Store is not loading at all. Safari in the same way. It stops while loading any site. After "www." the developement bar stops and is giving up as well. Guess for malfunction of Safari also the problem for the iTunes Store occurs.
What can I do? I do not remember having changed anything. All version are on the newest version and should be ready to go.
Thanks for all your comments and help which are much appreciated.
Benjamin

i think i could say they're only saving grace is being able to swap music from different computers. Had to go on my old mac g5 to access the store as it still has the old version of itunes and then transfer them with the shared library feature. But still it shouldn't have been that hard. Very disappointed with the lack of support from one of the biggest companies in the world. such an inconvenience, especially when it's then that's losing the money with the lack of access to the store.

Calling all Mac Expert's For your Help!!!

When Logging onto my Mac why do I have to click twice on the icon to open the password box. From the beginning, when ever I leave my Mac for any period of time I log out. It is then set to sleep after 20 min. After returning I touch ESC and the Log on window opens I have the Eagle as my icon on the Log on window. Sometimes it opens the password box after 1 click but 98% of the time I have to click twice. I went to the local Apple store & tried it on there MacBooks and it works on 1 click. They told me that there were no adjustments for this issue and they did not know why this was happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you

Welcome to the forum.
John makes a very good point on actually **** the work vs instructing other on doing it. What is your level of expertise with Photoshop? Image #1 would be rather straight-forward, but probably due to an acetate overlay, or maybe a spill, Image #2 would be a lot more work. I can recommend a couple of good books on restoring older photographs.However, some of the techniques in them are pretty advanced. If one is not already familiar with PS, they could easily be frustrated and lost.
Next, it is not a wise idea to post your e-mail address in any public forum. There are 'bots, that crawl the Internet, just looking for such. If one needs to give access to e-mail, it's best in their Adobe Forum Profile, or listed something like this: infoAThuntphotoDOTcom. The 'bots will not see that, and almost everyone know that AT=@ and DOT=. For you security, you might want to "mung" your e-mail address in a reply to your original post. You cannot edit an original post (but can a reply, so long as no one has replied to you), but the MOD's can do it for you. I would post a reply to your original post, find a way to restate your e-mail address (in case someone has a fix for you), and then report your OP for "Abuse." In that screen's drop-down, choose "Personal Info." That will flag it for the MOD's to correct and save you tons of spam. I'd do this for you, but then if you did not mung the e-dress, others would be lost. That's why I suggest that you do it yourself.
Let us know about your PS expertise, and someone can definitely step you through the processes. If you are not familiar with the program, it'l all be useless jabber.
Good luck, and sorry for your loss,
Hunt

E1200 - Ports not working and mac filtering problem

If there was a way to give negative stars to this router, I would. As it is, the minimum rating I can give this product is one star, and that's one star too many.
I was upgrading from the WRT54G, which is an ugly thing to look at, but a reliable workhorse nonetheless. I turned that in to a downstream switch in my comms hub.
On the E1200, I flashed the latest firmware, used different Cat5 cables, and different laptops before committing to hating this product.
The first time I reached out to Amazon, the Amazon rep gave me a Cisco number to call. Turns out, that's some shady mortgage refinance hotline. Try it for yourself! 1-800-666-1771.
Now, the rant -
1. Two out of four wired LAN ports don't work: What can be the fix for this?! The activity lights on ports 3 and 4 blink and suggest data transfer is taking place, but the wired laptop simply can't acquire an IP address and access the internet. Same result when I connect my Panasonic Blu-Ray player to ports 3 and 4. None of the Viera Cast features load.
2. MAC filtering unreliable: The wireless routing works somewhat reliably, if and only if, one settles for the most basic security. If I only choose a password and WPA2 protocol, things work fine. If I add another layer of security (in my case, enabling MAC filtering and only PERMITTING gateway to listed MAC IDs), things break down. As soon as I disable MAC filtering, wireless access to authenticated clients is restored.
3. Cisco customer service: The censored world we live in, compels me to criticize politely. TERRIBLE. Cisco website is unintuitive, and frustrating. There's no easy way to register your purchased product. The Cisco "registration" is intentionally misleading and deceptive. For all intents and purposes, it's just an information gathering tool for Cisco. Don't bother registering there, unless you love the idea of storing your personal information on their servers. Their phone-based customer service is apathetic and uninterested. My rep was so distrusting of my intelligence and motor control, that he simply wouldn't believe that I had selected "PERMIT" and not "PREVENT" as the option under MAC filtering. After he asked me the same question for the fourth time, I raised my voice, and he gave up the idea of checking for the fifth time.
However, this review is a tale of two companies. I reached out to Amazon again. This time, I got a rockstar in the shape of Leanne C! She was incredibly helpful, and understanding. What's more, she set up my return without any hassle and this Cisco dud is on its way back. I'm a big fan of Leanne's and my confidence in Amazon is restored.
I'm sure that i received a lemon. I've never had problems with Linksys products. Maybe others' experience is different from mine.

In your case as port numbers 1 and 2 does not work, what you could have done a loop back test. To perform a loop back test you need to take an ethernet cable, connect one end of that cable to internet port and the other end to the non-working port on the router. If you get the led to glow on both internet and the respective ethernet port that indicates that the port is working fine.
It could also be a sychronization issue between the above mentioned lan ports and the lan card of your computer. As a part of trouble shooting you can try to reduce the card speed of your lan card. Following are the steps to reduce the speed of your lan card.
START--> right-click My Network Places and click Properties
right-click on the device manager and click properties
Click on the CONFIGURE button
Select the ADVANCED tab and in the box under the header property select "speed and duplex" and change the value on the right to 10 mbps half duplex. A restart would be recommended after performing these steps.
In the second half you said that after enabling the mac filter option the internet breaks down. Here, do you mean to say that the computer
gets disconnected from the wireless network or it stays connected with a valid IP address but without an internet connection.
Well, it is an unusual issue however you could have reset and reconfigure the router as you got the latest firmware upgraded on it.
Steps to reset the router:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.

Mini Mac, Big Problem

My house has a wireless network that is maintained through a PC. My Mac Laptop has full, fast, wireless service everywhere in the house. I just bought a Mac Mini and it gets almost no airport signal in my office. My laptop gets signal sitting literally in front of my Mini, but the Mini does not.
Then sometimes I will have full bars of Wireless signal, but the internet won't connect at all.
I seem to gather that this is a fairly common problem. Is there anything I can do?

I have a Mac Mini, that also seems to be deaf, whereas the Macbook Pro sitting on the same desk has no issues. I am thinking the MacMini's antenna is not optimal. The MacPro has no issues, either.

Macbook Pro Retina - Mac Mail Problem

I've just blown a fortune on a brand new retina display macbook pro. It's time for a fresh start after years of bugs and slow laptops so I've decided I don't want to migrate from my old macbook. I have multiple email addresses, some are pop and some are imap. I spent hours setting up all the addresses in mac mail only to find about 90% of the sent messages from one of the imap email addresses are missing (the most important adderss too!). The only ones in the sent folder are the ones sent using my iphone. Would I be correct in assuming all my sent message are no longer stored on my imap server? I can see them all if I use my old laptop so they must be lurking in a folder on that laptop somewhere. I've tried everything!! I tried deleting the mail folder from the library of my new laptop and the com.apple.mail.plist from the preferences. I then replaced them both with the ones on my old laptop... still the same problem. Any suggestions???

I've been using Mozilla Thunderbird on both Win PCs and Mac's for some time now and have no problems accessing both POP and IMAP accounts with it. I have 4 POP accounts and 2 IMAP accounts.
Switch to it from Windows Live Mail, which IMHO is just the pits, and then when I got my Mac and tried Mac Mail I said There has to be something better and found that Thunderbird also has a OS X version. So that is what I installed.
Been using it on Mac for almost 8 months now. No problems, at least none for me.

Virus or not in Retina Mac??? Big problem for me help!!!
