What can I do about WSdaemon maxing out the cpu?
Activity monitor shows WSdaemon using unto 120% cpu usage, my fan is running almost constantly. This used to happen while watching films but now whenever I surf the net.
Anyone got a solution?
See here: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Complete/Is-Webroot-Secu re-Compatible-with-OSX-Mavericks/td-p/64245
But I'd just uninstall it as it is most likely completely useless.

Recently Safari has been quitting unexpectedly. I've dumped my cache several times and even upgraded to snow leopard.l I have the latest version of Safari 5.0.5. The situation has gotten quite annoying and been going on for about three weeks now. What can I do to fix this short of bringing it to someone?
I restart and it works fine for awhile and then it quits again. I either restart and/or dump the cache AGAIN! This is getting quite tedious. I've even taken the battery out and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to stop the quitting.You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11. iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can't upgrade without more RAM.

What are hiutil and mdworker? - they're maxing out the CPU!!
So I upgraded this afternoon to Lion on my 13" macbook air from the App Store; first of all the reboot crashed, then a hard off and back on sorted that out.
Now hiutil (and sometimes mdworker) are trashing the CPU constantly at 90-100% (and making the fan go crazy with it)
Anyone have any idea what these threads are?
My MBA is now unusable because of these!!
Cheers, Simmomdworker is the Spotlight indexer. Spotlight is a bit wonky in Lion (as it was in SL 10.6.0)…be patient; it might not be fixed until 10.7.2 or so. If you don't use Spotlight, consider turning it off in SysPrefs. It'll cut that process.
hiutil seems to be a low-level process for Help pages. It's probably indexing those (to get the snappy search results from the Help menu).

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting GEAR drive is from:

We wish to keep a spare computer loaded with all the required editing software ready to swap out if we have a hardware issues. What can we do about licensing, can users hot desk to it? We have about 10 users with various software packages loaded on their current machines. Currently if one goes wrong we have no backup.
You will need to check the licensing requirements for the various software & operating systems that you use.
A much simpler way will be to make a clone of each machines hard disk drives on seperate external bootable drives using Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper. You can then keep a couple of blank machines and boot from the an external drive in an emergency and carry on working. At the end of the work day you can then restore the clone to the internal hard drive of the affected machine, and leave it to run over night to complete the restore.
This method would probably be the cheapest way to implement a disaster recovery option as you will not need to pay for new licenses or 10 new machines.
Just make sure that each machine has an external HDD attached and a regular clone being made on a schedule, this way you will always have an up to date clone to work from.
There are many ways to acheive what you require, NAS etc.

What can i do about my quickly dying ipod and what is the problem?
I bought my ipod touch 4th gen 32gb about 10 months ago in 2011 on December, after about 6 months since i bought it the battery started to last for shorter times. Now ( after 10 months today is 20th of september 2012) it really doesnt last for very long at all. After i fully charge it and play a game and do other stuff aswell it sometimes only lasts for 1 and a half to 2 hours only. It also charges very quickly now. I use both my laptop and the belkin ipod charger to charge it i use the cable that came with the ipod and sometimes use it with a usb extender. I also sometimes use the ipod while it is charging. I also sometimes take it out of charging before it is finished but i don't do this very much because i heard it was bad for the battery.
My question is what can i do about this problem and what might apple be able to do. i want to know how to increase the battery life. And i also want to know is there something i am doing wrong during my charging process or something. I don't to do any of that stuff like taking the back of the ipod off or jailbreaking it, i don't want to stuff the ipod up and i want to keep it like a real ipod. Please help i really want to keep my ipod in good condition so please help if you can
Thank youHello!
So my iPod Touch battery is like this too..except worse. I can't take mine off the charger considering it will die in less than a minute. I recently posted a question like this too so if I get any feedback, i'll let u know. Stay in there & dont charge it unless it's COMPLETELY dead (not to were it turns off, but to were it's telling you "20% Battery Remaining), and don't take it off the charger unless it's COMPLETELY charged. Hope I helped a little, and i'll get back to you if I find anything else. Sorry to hear about this! #IKnowHowYouFeel #DumbBatteries

What can I do about the hackers in my devices.
What can I do about the hackers in my devices. Pls help i need to know what I can do to take the hackers out of my devices.
Aww drat! I was going to recommend "AttackA-Hak" which was free from VapourWare Inc.
a) The likelihood of your Apple device being hacked is millions to one against.
b) If it was, Apple would be very interested in seeing your device as you would be one of the first.

What can i do about a full startup disc?
what can i do about a full startup disc?
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located. -
What can I do about this:
After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error.
When I click to open Firefox, A box open with the following error:
JAVASCRIPT Application
TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined?
After I click close on the box, then Firefox will start. I really just want to get the error fixed so that when I want firefox open, I don't have to see this box anymore.You need to figure out which add-on is causing that error and disable it until the developer of that add-on fixes it. There may be an error message about that in the Error Console, accessed through the Web Developer menu item or through {Ctrl + Shft + J}.

I have what looked like a small bug that ran up and down the screen and then sudenly stopped in center upper half of screen and now appears to be burned in to the inside of the screen, anyone had this probelm before and what can be done about it?
Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them. They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent. They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover. The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free. If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store. For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.
