Why does my imac have finder problems
My iMac runs for a few minutes and thru a few apps (doesnt matter which ones) and the Finder craps out to a beachball. Cant Relaunch, cant reboot. OS is 10.6.8.
Thanks - turns out I have a HD with a "problem that cannot be repaired" says disc utility. So, if I cannot copy files off prior to erasing the disc, will an Apple Genius Bar have the ability to pull my files in a way that I do not?
Meaning do I waste my time drving the 40 miles to the Apple store?

Why does my macbook have battery problems?
I read that my macbook air is supposed to have 12 hours of battery but after about 2-3 hours I need to re-charge it. When I charge my macbook the charger heats up, I have both problems with all my apple devices and they are brand new (ipad, mac and ipod). Why do I have these problems?
thanks for the answersDo you have the newest Mac Air notebook, the Mid 2013 model? Only those have a Rated, Guestimate, battery run time of 12 to 13 hours. Older Air models do not.

Why does my imac have a question mark in the doc sayin start osx
my imac has a question mark in my doc. on top of that question mark it say "start osx" how can i fix this
Your images are "disconnected"
that means they are not in the same place on your hard disk as they were when you imported them into Elements. There are a couple ways this can happen, mostly folks who use Windows to move images to a new location instead of Elements will run into this issue.
To fix it, you either need to move them back using Windows, or Reconnect them using Elements.
You didn't mention waht version you have, but it's done the same in all versions.
Here is a link to the Help doc on how to Reconnect.

Why does my iMac have to make such a loud noise when I turn it on?
Is there any way to turn my iMac on in a silent way?
Not that it bothers me but sometimes there are other people in the same room trying to sleep.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)Welcome to the Apple Discussions for iMac Intels.
You can install this Preference Pane and control the volume of your startup chime from the System Preferences.
Arcana Startup Sound Preference Pane
StartupSound.prefPane is the software which controls the volume of the startup sound of your Macintosh computer. StartupSound.prefPane mutes the startup sound without changing the output volume setting. And StartupSound.prefPane limits the startup volume so that it may not become loud even if you make the output volume louder. To set up the startup volume, you select the "Startup Sound" pane added to the "System Preferences." -

Why does my iMac only have 1 GB of memory?
Put in more RAM. Visit OWC, DataMem, or Crucial.com to purchase memory for your model. You computer would have more memory had you put more in a long time ago.

Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?
Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk. -
Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..?
When my iMac goes to sleep I then later try to click the magic track pad or keyboard and it will usually then show the initial password entry login screen and then go off. The machine is still on but the display is black and will sometimes flash up the screen again if I press the magic track pad or keyboard but will then black out again..Well, there are many different reasons why it does this. It might shut off due to power voltage problems, system overheats, or there is a System Problem. The reason it might be hard to boot up is because your power button might not work properly or your system hard drive is damaged.

How can I tell what video card and how much video memory does my iMac have?
How or where can I find out: which video card does my iMac have and how much video memory does it have? I've tried looking in System profiler, but I did not see it there. Thank you.
Once you open System Profiler there should be a line called "memory" which is the RAM (vs. hard drive size which is not what is called memory), e.g., Memory: 1.5 GB
For video click on the line Graphics/Displays and look at the chipset line, e.g., Chipset Model: GeForce2 TwinView

Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN besides from the built-in mic?
Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN aside from the built-in mic?
Also, are any special cables needed?
Thanks,
JohnHi
You should be able to check by going to about this mac from the Apple menu. Then click the more info button and then the system report button. Next, click on audio tab to the left. If you don't have an entry for built in input then you probably don't have line-in in your mac. As already mentioned though you should be able to defiantly find out with the model and year.
Hope this helps -
I'm having a lot of problems sometimes signing into Game Center, or when the game itself is loaded I will click on something and it pretty much crashes and goes back to desktop! This is very annoying. Just not sure why this keeps happening. Does anyone else have this problem and know what the cause of it may be?
My guess would be you don't have enough memory available to run the games that you are trying to play. This is not supposed to happen in iOS - but I have seen too many instances to believe that the iOS can handle it properly all of the time. My suggestion would be to close all apps in the recents tray, reboot and start over again and see if that helps.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
The problem could be something else software related and restoring the device might help, but I would start with this and see how it goes. -
Half the ebooks I have bought from iTunes have large sections or complete chapters missing from them which is beginning to seriously irritate. Does anyone else have this problem or it is something to do with the downloading. In which case does anyone have an answer?
You should be able to delete and redownload them via the bookshelf in the iBooks app : tap the Edit button top right of the shelf, select and delete the books, then go into the Store via the button top left of the bookshelf, and in the Purchased tab (bottom right of the store) find and re-download the books.
If they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those books and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
