Why does Safari not respond after loading OSX Mavericks on a MacBook air

Why does Safari not respond after loading OSX Mavericks on a MacBook air?

What exactly happens? Does it launch at all? Have you tried rebooting?

Why does my iPhone 6 occasionally refuse to tether with my Macbook Air

Most days, my iPhone 6 tethers up with my Macbook Air just fine, and I use the personal hotspot successfully. But about once a week, the Air gives an error message that it cannot see the phone, and the phone makes a rapid series of alarm sounds. The blue hotspot bar at the top of the phone appears quickly as if it were to connect, then it doesn't. The phone shows the error message about whether to trust the Air. Restarts of both devices does not help. The only thing that helps is to keep the two connected, ignore the warning tones, and eventually the hotspot works. Weird
This is one of those problems that occurs intermittently - very frustrating because this kind of problem resists my ability to diagnose what is happening

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

Why does iTunes use 100% CPU all the time, hogging my Macbook Air?

Decided to post this here instead of the iTunes forum, since it might be related to hardware too.
New owner of a 2011 13" Macbook Air, core i5 based.
My problem started about 1 week ago, after it had run out of power completely one day. At the first boot after that it was incredibly sluggish, totally unusable. After waiting for 5 minutes and still being unresponsive, I turned it off and then back on. Then it booted fine. HOWEVER, ever since that time I noticed the following behavior:
- iTunes stays at 100% + CPU all the time, mostly between 100-120%. Even if it's not playing. Even when I deleted the entire library and left it empty.
- iStats reports CPU idle between 50-65%. However, CPU temperature is still about 55 degrees C (which, I think, is far less than what it should have been with 50% idle cpu). I can confirm the low temperature by touching the chasis.
- the cursor freezes and jumps every few seconds, making the mac kind of unusable with iTunes open.
This has been going on for 2 weeks now. The problem goes away every now and then (iTunes sometimes goes back to regular CPU usage of 3-5%), but most of the time it's there.
Help!
P.S.
Mac OX X 10.7.2
iTunes 10.5.2

Cee Pee You, is a OS modification. Apple recommends that you un-install these prior to a OS update because Apple makes changes to the OS all the time which breaks programs like these.
I avoid Unsanity LLC products like the plague. Notice the company is a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC), which makes it difficult to sue the company in case of a defective or malicious product. So the risk using their products is all yours. Their APE framework modules have been used for malicious purposes because anyone can write a module that uses the APE framework.
I also avoid installing anything that requires a administrative password unless I completely trust the source, like Apple mostly. That admin password is the key to the security of our machines, not to be given out lightly or carelessly.
You'll have to contact Unsanity's [email protected] because what I'm reading online is it's very difficult to remove as it doesn't "exist".

Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

What you are trying to do is a process that we call “refrying a PDF file,” a process that we at Adobe most strongly discourage. There are facilities within Acrobat itself that allow you to remove objects and crop pages without having to ruin the PDF by creating PostScript and then distilling that back into PDF, a potentially very lossy process. You lose all color management, all live transparency, and could have font problems in the resultant PDF file.
The Adobe PDF PostScript Printer Driver Instance is parameterized by joboptions set in its properties. These properties have a parameter for page rotation. If the options specify automatic page rotation, you may be getting these unexpected results on the basis of Distiller's analysis of each page and trying to second guess the orientation. You should also be aware that the PostScript generated by Acrobat (and Reader) is optimized for printing on a PostScript device, not for generation of PDF by distillation.

Hi @kots
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP LaserJet M2727 Multifunction Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Why does my hp photosmart 7520 prints blank pages

Why does my HP Photosmart 7520 print blank pages?

Sorry to ask an obvious question - but are you putting the paper in the right way? I have a 7520, and as long as there is ink in it, and the paper is facing the correct way, and I hear the print job go to the printer, it prints fine.
Are you hearing the pringing attempting to print?

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

Why does it keep saying my printer is offline???rrrrrrr

why does it keep saying my printer is offline??/rrrr
Just bought this tonight ,.i am very agrevated about ready to take it back tommorow
I am working off of my laptop.its working on windows Xp i think.
The printer is th HP Photosmart D110 series.i was concerned i would have trouble with the wireless part of it.
The man at office depot said i could work it as a regular printer if i couldnt figure out wireless. Well, it didnt come with the cable to hook it from printer to laptop.rrrr

So how is the printer set up? Is it wireless or USB? If USB you will need a cable, purchased seperately. It is a standard A/B USB cable widely available inexpensively. (The $1 cables form the dollar store work fine....
Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

I'd look elsewhere for why.

Deskjet ink advantage 4625 won't print in colour with my macbook air

Hi , My printer does not print in color with my macbook air (OS X). pls help...

Hi,
If you have Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9, I afraid the printer is not compatible with your Mac and therefore the printing is black ink only:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01856359&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=61237&task=...
Although it is not officially supported, you may be able to get it working using 3rd party solutions as HPIJS as an example..
Be sure to install any of the 3 required downloads and follow the Printer Set Up Instructions:
