When I open about this mac - more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth). Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desk-downloads)
When I open about this mac -> more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth) even though all the mac (programs , interface ) works smooth . Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desktop-downloads -no garbage there- everything neat and tidy.) Need some help. Only there it the animations goes like 2 fps and is not smooth. I do not understand why because the programs are the same so its the usage. Nothing is changed, yet i experience this little issue for a couple of days.
OK, I'm confused. When I do About this Mac > More Info in OS10.9, I don't see any animation other than the window resizing. Is that the animation you are describing?
Which if any of the following apply to your computer:
1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and I'll have to re open the tab and hope that doesn't happen again. Sometimes this happens again and again. Most of the times if I just open the link in a new tab and don't switch to it, this won't happen. But as I switch too the tab, the text would disappear and the link wouldn't open.

Please help me put about this mac more info back to the original setting
my macbook pro, when i click about this mac and when I click on more info it doesnt show the orignal screen about the mac instead it show a big screen with alot of info, please help me fix it to the original way
If the System Profiler application isn't in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, the More Info button will be dimmed. Look for this application elsewhere on your hard disk; if it isn't on the hard disk, use Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X installation disks and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X.

System Profiler won't launch/ About this Mac more info button grayed out
Panther 10.3.9 on 1.25 imac G4. I recently restored this mac to get ready to sell it and after the restore and Panther upgrade (from system discs) System Profiler no longer launches. I have run disk utility to repair permissions. The area in the dock opens up for the System Profiler icon but it just shuts right back down. I can't launch it directly from utilities and the "more info" button on the about this mac menu is grayed out. Anyone have a solution? Thanks!
Hi cornelius,
I posted the link to the thread due to the fact that there were a number of suggestions of troubleshooting the user could try to resolve their issue.
One was the standard Repair Disk/Repair Permissions, one was to reset PRAM (not sure why that was suggested in this particular case), and one was to check to see if it could be a font issue and one was to test with a new user account to see if the problem was system wide. And one was for reinstalling System Profiler by using Pacifist.
The OP in that thread did not post back to indicate if any of the suggestions helped but I thought that the OP here might benefit.
I wasn't suggesting anything specific as I personally have never had the problem but I thought those suggestions might help the OP.
Or am I misunderstanding what you are asking?
best as always,

Is About this mac/more info/power reliable for battery capacity assessment
Hi,
I calibrated my brand new battery for my Alubook 15". Here are the results :
First cycle : 4200 mah
Second cycle : 4520 mah
Third cycle : 4370 mah
Fourth cycle : 4220 mah
Fifth : 3920 mah.
The battery was sold for 4700 mah.
1. Does this get any sense ? would you worry about future battery performances based on this capacity decrease from the third cycle ?
2. I have read that resetting PRAM may reset this battery power assessment to more reliable data : Any experience about this ?Luc --
You raise some interesting points, at least one of which we debated (without resolution ;-)) prior to the change over to the New Discussions -- that concerned whether the batteries used by the new revision of PowerBooks were qualitatively different than the ones used by previous revisions. I don't think we came to a firm conclusion on this.
But on two other points you raise we did at least draw some firm observations, if not flat out conclusions.
The first has to do with the 10.4.3 update and whether it may have had power management effects for the better. I personally noticed a slight increase in my battery life since the update, which I have attributed (at least in part) to the fact that a process that runs almost all the time in the background (having, I think, something to do with the trackpad and related functions) called "kernel_task" now runs at about half the CPU usage that it used to. It used to regularly consume 7-8% of my CPU resources. Now, when I check in Activity Monitor, "kernel_task" regularly consumes about 2.5-3.5%.
The second relates to the new PowerBook revisions, their greater stated battery life and any hardware changes made in them that may be responsible therefor. Here, I remember reading in several places on these Boards and elsewhere that the type of RAM used by the new PowerBook revisions, i.e., PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM (running at 333 MHz), while it may not necessarily be faster than the type of RAM used in the previous PB revisions (PC-2700 DDR SDRAM) (since both types of RAM are running at the same 333 MHz in each model), the DDR2 RAM used in the new revision PBs does consume significantly less power to run. Therefore, it seems to have heavily contributed to the new revision PB's claim to longer battery life. Indeed, I've read that since both RAM types run at the same speed in the PB, it was precisely because of the low power consumption signature of the DDR2 RAM that was the reason it was chosen for the new revision PBs.
Well, good luck testing out your new PB and it's battery. Let us know how it all turns out and, of course, feel free to post back if we can be of any further assistance.
Bonne chance! A bientôt.
Oh, by the way, as for battery capacity and degradation over time and with use, you might find my own statistics to be of interest. I've run off battery power quite extensively since I got my PB in March of this year, and, after 164 complete cycles in about 9 months of use (including may times where the battery was completely drained), my original stated capacity of 4400 mAh has only decreased to 4228 mAh (using the same Apple battery that came with my PB when I first got it). I think that's pretty decent from what I've heard and seen with others.
Later.

About this Mac More Info Storage ... What is "Other"?
I am trying to figure out what "Other" means, because my HD is about full and there is 104gb worth of "other" in there. I need to clean house, but it's not the music/photos that's holding me down.
Any help?
Thanks!other is what can't be clasified in the other categories. If stores OS X and system files among other things. Download OmniDiskSweeper and see if you can find out what is taking up the space and what is safe to delete.

Disable that extension until you can install an updated version of that extension. -

When I try to use Mac Help or any other help menu, the help window opens up but it is empty. How do I resolve this issue?
Try moving these files to the Trash one at a time and test (but don't empty yet.)
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.LSSharedFileList.pl ist
If doing this doesn't help, then navigate to this location and delete the cache (but not the enclosing folder.)
/Users/yourusername/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpviewer
All are located in your home folder Library. -

I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
Thank you.Prodesigntools.com , go ahead and download the software from there and use your serial number to serialize it.

When i open a new document, my "width" and "lenght" add two zeros automatically to file size??? For example basic A4 size in mm is 210 00mm x 297 00mm? And i can´t do nothing about it! Why on earth?
This "error note" must have something to do about it?elppaelo,
You may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

My skype is quitting when i open it in mac os x 10.6.8
My Skpe is quitting when I open it in mac os x 10.6.8
It had been working fine. Today I did a restart of the system, and
now skype quits whenever I open it. I deleted the version that I had,
and installed the latest version of skype and it is still quitting when
I open it. What is my solution?Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
See: Capacity
Before deleting anymore files, verify the startup disk.
Open Disk Utility /Applications/Utilites
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions).
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.
If the startup disk is ok, try installing the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.
