What does the process "GAMED" do and why wants my computer to give notice whenever I start it up?

Whenever I start-up my computer "Little Snitch" will tell me that a Process called "GAMED" wants to make contact with 4 IP adresses. I have blocked them. But what is this process responsible for or is it only marketing from Apple?

I have a mid 2010 iMac.
Ok, this model of iMac came with either 10.6.3 or 10.6.4 originally,
so the 10.6.3 white retail disks (image below) won't work in this machine if that's what your using.
The reason for this your iMac was released and requires hardware drivers not found on the disk above.
So what your going to have to do is call Apple via phone and order your Mid 2010 10.6 machine specific disks (don't mention Lion or Mountain Lion)
When they arrive then review the instructions on these links to restore your iMac to Snow Leopard.

Repairing permissions will help as will running the UNIX commands. This widget will do all but the pram.

To reset the pram hold the Command+Option+P+R when starting up, wait through 4 startup sounds before letting go.

What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop? I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files. How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)? Thanks for your help!

What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
That's all I can think of.

What is the MAAssetSharing plug in and why is it making logic crash?

I keep having crashing problems when I load a new instrument. Then logic blames it on the MAAssetSharing plugin but I can't find it on my computer to delete it. What is it for and why is it making logic crash. Thanks in advance

I don't know what this plug does, but it is inside the Logic.app package, so deleting it would probably break more than it'll fix. There is a whole series of MA-things inside Logic Pro.

Does this crashing also happen in newly created projects, or just in one?
Have you tried refreshing the preferences ? (Quit Logic, move the file com.apple.logic.pro.plist from Users/'you'/Library/Preferences to the Desktop, start Logic and see if the problem's gone. If it didn't help, you can quit Logic again and put the old .plist file back. If it did work, in Logic set all the preferences as you want them, check everything still works, then quit Logic and make a copy of the .plist file and keep that in your documents folder. You now have an uncorrupted fresh .plist file with all your personal settings, that you can now use to replace the active file, in case of future trouble.
If refreshing prefs doesn't help, reinstall just the Logic application. Download & install AppCleaner http://www.pure-mac.com/diag.html#appcleaner and drop the Logic application on it, empty your trash and reinstall Logic.

What is the thumb64segment.jpg file, and why so big?

Ok, I finally got my MacBook Pro (first mac) got all my photos approx.7-8k worth into iPhoto. Can someone tell me what are the:
thumb64segment.data
thumb32segment.data
thumbJPGsegment.data
files and why are they in hundreds of MB, and one is ~1.5GB?
Thanks

Thanks toad. You might be right about the color profile, I imported all my photos into iPhoto yesterday and I had left the add colorsync profile checkbox clicked--I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it does and if I should have done that in the first place.
As a side note, and while I have your attention (since you are so good at answering iphoto questions).
I have a Sony V1 camera, which I assume uses the RGB or the sRGB color profile. When I get home tonight, I would like to software calibrate my monitor to 2.2 gama and 6500k white point. What else do I need to do to make sure that my photos are the same accross the board with respect to colorsync/color profile.
I rarely print photos (never at home), usually through imagestation.com (maybe through apple's service from now on, but I doubt it). I understand that assuming these services dont discard the color profile embeded into the image file I send them, I should aim to send them the file with the same color profile as is used by their printers? correct?
Is there anything else I'm missing here?
Is there any other benefit to embeding a color profile into an image? Like, if I email the img to someone, will the image look the same on their screen? (I assume not, because they will a) not have the screen calibrated the same way, and b) well, I'm sure there's another reason.
PPS. I did the search on this group earlier today and read a bunch of threads on this, but I"m still not clear.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

What does the -6753 error mean and what can I do about it?

I just responded to the Airport Utility request to update my new Time Capsule, and the older Time Capsule that I had set up as an extension. The update was fine for the new Capsule, but has failed for the older one, with the error message:
An error occurred while updating the firmware. -6753 OK
I've tried repeating the update, but I get the same error message. What does it mean, and what can I do to overcome this?
Thanks so much!

Do you have a Java Preference Pane in System Preferences? if not, Java isn't installed and from your description, it sounds like it may be required. You can also try running this Java Test.

What does the shortcut control-3 and control-4 do, and how can I turn it off?

I'm trying to create some macros and remap my keyboard for a game, but running into some issues not being able to remap control-3 and control-4. I finally figured out that control-1 and 2 were used by Mission Control, and once that was off I gained control over those keys. But for the life of me I can't figure out what control-3 and control-4 do. I've searched various shortcut lists, but none seem to list this combination (except that it controlled Spaces, but that's gone with the new OSX).
Does anyone know what these keys are shortcuts for and how I can release them? Thanks!

user293, you must not understand what I mean, because this particular thing is brand new this past week. (I guess you think I am talking about a closely related thing, because I know that most of the way it is now has been this way for a while.)
Thanks cor-el, that totally fixed it.
Although I am dismayed that it's not just a search option and requires user hacking.

Z77a-g45 where does the little speaker go and why does my computer pause on c5

so my computer boots does evrything plays games etc but when it starts these numbers in the bottom right corner go off then it stops at c5 for a second then goes to bios screen then boots to windows. is this bad?
also where does the little speaker plug into.

it will be fine its just a hang not an error or failure! its just struggling for a short time to get the hard drive opperating thats all and is nothing to loose any sleep over!
Hang = nothing to worry about really
failure = thats the oposite of a hang its where it never starts and is to actually worry about!
unless your computer never gets past that code and refused to load because its failed its not a issue to really bother about! like Xmad said you could try a BIO's update to the most recent one and do a firmware update if you have an SSD! its just a detection hang and an update of both could fix it!
if you are thinking about doing a bios update use this >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
do not use live update to do the bio's flash as it has a 50/50 chance of bricking the board and the tool above has never had a failure of a flash!

Why does the window freeze sometimes, and why can't I log on to my e-mail?

When I get my window and click on to Firefox, the comcastwidow opens. I then want to go to my e-mail. I click several times and nothing happens. Then I try to close the window, thinking I will start over, but the window freezes. There is no reaction to my clicking to close. Everything is frozen.

Well it works for me, am using the Firefox browser, there are issue with IE at the moment.

What is the "Psition Tuner" tool and why it is can't be found under Help?

Hello,
I'm using ID CS4 ME (middle eastern version) under OSX 10.5.6 and in my tools I see and icon that called "Position Tuner).
I searched in Help, no such term appears there.
I don't understand why.
anyone?
thank you
Shlomit

Hello All
First about "position tuner tool"
it is new tool for ME version and it is used with the new menu "Tasmeem"
Second it is usages
it allows users to move blocks of text, diacritics and even individual dots while preserving textual integrity and the Unicode data structure. Moreover, one can colour diacritics individually for book covers and illustrations. so you have control all over the words and dotes position
Third i wonder why it is not exist on the ID Help even though it has a great role with who works on Arabic Text
hope it wouldn't be a late answer and fulfil your knowledge needs
Thank you;
