Hi peaceinallhearts,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
It sounds like there is an issue with the date and time that's set on your iMac. The first article below will walk you through changing the time and the second will help if you continue to see the issue after resetting the time.

  • I get an error message saying "system overload, the audio engine was not able to process all the required data in time (10011)

    i get an error message saying "system overload, the audio engine was not able to process all the required data in time (10011)

    The thing is, that error message has been appearing when playing/recording a track that was running perfectly a few minutes ago and nothing has changed!
    That can mean, that your project is too ambitious for your Mac. Are you using many complicated automations on that track?
    4GB memory is not much, when doing audio processing. GarageBand will need all memory it can get, or will be forced to continually swap pages to your disk, to free RAM, and that can cause this error.
    When this error occurs, it is best to restart the computer. This will free your RAM. Close all other applications that are competing for memory, i.e. other multimedia applications, and Safari.
    Also, make sure, that you have plenty of free disk space. Don't let the free disk space drop below 20G.
    Where is your project located? On an external drive or your internal drive? If it is on an external drive, connect this drive directly, not daisy-chained, or move the project to your internal drive.
    I got up to eat, came back and tried to continue but GarageBand shuts down and displays that message every time I try to run the song. I've also recently run songs with several more tracks than this one and they worked perfectly. Any tips?
    Are your other projects, that worked perfectly, still working?

  • Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

    Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

    Find out what that third party software the kext file belongs to and update or use the developers method to uninstall the third party software responsible for it.
    I suspect it's a iTunes extension perhaps?
    You also can use the manual method of Finder > Go > Computer and opening your drive, then your  System/Library/Extensions folder and looking for the file and moving it out onto the desktop, you will need to be in Admin user and use your password, then reboot to clear the random access memory. However this method doesn't remove the parent program you still need to do that.
    How to uninstall/install software on your Mac
    The kext file wasn't loaded, so it's not running, but removing it from the Extensions folder or uninstalling what put it there will solve your notification problem as that's all it appears to be.

  • Why do I get these error messages saying that "HWNetMgr" and "HWPortDetect" are insecure start up items?

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and two days ago I tried to install a Mobile Broadband named Tele2 Mobile partner, in cooperation with Huawei. The installation couldn't finish, so I removed the components that I could see had already been installed. But ever since I tried to install it, I get two error messages every time I start up safari, saying that I have two insecure start up items named "HWNetMgr" and "HWPortDetect". I have checked my start up items, and the only one I had was Spotify. I removed Spotify as a start object and restarted the computer, but I still got those two error messages. I have now searched through my computer several times and I just can't find these two things.
    Does anyone know what this is about? What can I do to make these error messages go away? I am open to try any suggestions possible! This is a huge investment to me and I just don't want to have ruined it the first week! Please help me!

  • Why did I get Unknown Error Message -50??

    Hi, Last weekend I updated and changed a bunch of album art on my 60 GB video iPod, and this morning I noticed a couple of songs still had the old picture. So going through this before, I hooked up my iPod to my computer and unchecked the "Display Album Art" and then disconnected my iPod when it finished updating. Then I plugged it back in and re-checked the "Display Album Art" check box and it gets all the way to the end and then I get this error message "Undable to update iPod Unknown Error - 50". I even rebooted my computer and tried this and no luck.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I am thinking that I need to reload the iPod and wow I did so much work to the songs stored on my iPod I'd have to think I lost it all.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Have A Great Day !!

    gee, no responses thanks peoples

  • Why do I get an error message saying unable to use disk when creating a DVD

    I have successfully burned two DVD's of a group of three I am burning of my last vacation pictures. I have successfully created WMV files for each day of the trip which I have combined to create the three DVD's so they won't be too lengthy. I created a menu with main menu and stop menu markers. When I went to burn the third disk, which is the shortest of the group the program would encode to the 96% and then the disk would eject and it would give an errow message saying the disk was not compatable. This was the same type of DVD-RW disks I used on the two successful disks. I tried redoing the burn 3  times with each time getting to 96% on the encription and then the same error message occurred. I used fresh disks each time. On the forth try I cut the number of WMV files down to 3 to make the DVD half as long. The same thing happened at the 96th% spot of the encription process. Nothing had ever been put on the disks. I am using top quality Memorex DVD-RW disks. Please let me know what else I can do. I am very frustrated. Oh yes, I closed the program down each time I got the error and also shut down and restarted the computer afer each error. I really want to finish this project as I have been working on it now for two weeks non stop. Thank you.

    Good, that gets one possibility out of the way.
    Since the error about the disc indicates that the Transcoding has already finished, I think that we can probably rule out the next step, but let's look anyway.
    Now, for Transcoding to DVD, PrE uses 2-pass Encoding, so it would seem that this problem is comng right at the end of the second pass, at the end of the Timeline. Look very closely at that point, and see if there is anything odd there. Things like gaps in the Video of a Timeline, or sometimes Assets that are not proper, can cause Transcoding to stop. Anything there? [I think that with a disc error, Transcoding HAS completed, and the progress bar is just lagging slightly behind, but more questions are probably needed.]
    Last, what brand of blank media are you using? The reason that I ask this is that some companies, like Memorex, buy the cheapest disc that day, and rebrand them, so in a spindle of 25, you might end up with blank discs by different mfgrs., and some can be much better, than others.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Why do I get an error message saying Cannot Get Mail?

    Why do I get this message - Cannot Get Mail - Connection to server failed?

    When you double tap the home button, you should see a screen that looks like this. You see all of the apps that you have recently used going across the screen. You can swipe from screen to screen to get to each and every app. In order to close an app, you drag the app preview window up "off" of the top of the screen. Don't swipe up on the app icon, swipe up on the thumbnail preview window. You will see the window fly iPad off of the screen. That's how you close an app.
    Find the Mail app by swiping from screen to screen - if it's not already visible - and swipe up to close it. This has nothing to do with the control center at all, so don't swipe up to get to it.

  • Why do I get an error message saying that I have insufficient space to restore my iphoto's when I have more than double the available space?

    I deleted my photo's from Iphoto and when I tried to restore them from a backup on my Time capsual I received an error saying that I did not have sufficient space. The Iphoto file is 46Gb and I have over 100Gb available on my hard drive. Why will it not allow me to restore?

    Possibly a damages library.  Try this:  make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
