HT6099 why does the mac pro (late 2013) only support up to 60Hz at 1080p? TV screens are pretty much all 120Hz. So much for future proof.

Why does the Mac App Store invite me to install already installed software?

When I view Purchased Items at the Mac App Store, the button for some of my installed apps reads "Installed" but for others it reads "Install." If I click on the Install button for these apps I get a message that reads: We could not complete your purchase - [this software] is already installed on your computer. Choose Software Update ... to check for available updates." But, Software Update has nothing for me...

Still a puzzle after several hours...

Why does the Mac Pro merge email accounts?

When I set up the email the MacPro merged mine and my husbands accounts. How can I separate them?

INBOX is by design, the Union of all of your listed email accounts. I have six email accounts for various purposes that feed into my inbox.
If you want to look at them individually, just select the specific email account you wish to see displayed.
Mac OS X is prepared to have login accounts for each person, so that all their individual preferences (screensaver, opened Applications, desktop background, and lots of other items) can be tracked separately.
If you do not want to view your husband's email in your Inbox, give him his own login and put his email account there instead of in your inbox.

Why does the Mac Airs keep dropping the network

We are using WEP and or WPA-WPA2 Personal. Once the lid is closed and reopend, system ask for admin user name and password. This happens on just the Macbook Airs. Our WAP's are Cisco. Or when a teacher is working with the unit, the signal will just drop for a few minutes, then come back up. Any one else having this issue and what did you do to resolve thie problem?
Thank.

Might be some of the same issues in this thread assuming your MBA is a 2013 model

Why does the Mac App Store say "Item not currently available in the U.S. store" when I try to upgrade to OS X Yosemite?

This showed up when I clicked "Upgrade Now" from the Apple website.

Because Apple hasn't completed the release yet and/or their servers are flooded.

Why does the Mac App Store default back to the first page of results?

When I search in the MAS for any app and there are more than one page of results, while I am browsing pages 2 and up when I select an app to look at and go back to the search results (either by swiping on my trackpad OR clicking the back button) the list of pages defaults to the first page of results. Is this a bug or is there some setting somewhere that I can change to make it work right??

This is a user forum; whether or not anybody at Apple sees this is not known.
You could log a feature request with Apple via the bugreport tool, if you have access to that tool.

Probably a noob question, but why does the Mac OSX volume control window...

...randomly pop up sometimes. I think I'm triggering it, but I don't know how.

It pops up when you use a dock and control the volume or when your sliding volume and you press the Home button. Its there so you won't have to navigate to the Music app and see the volume

Why does the mac dock firefox icon suddenly say c-vcxzcxz...cxzcdxz instead of firefox?

The icon name changed yesterday, no reason.

hello creambo, please update firefox to the latest version (firefox 18 at the moment) & see if this already addresses the issue.

Why does the mac just shut off

We've had the iMac for about a month and love it except about 2 weeks ago it just started turning itself off. It doesn't happen when anyone is around, but we'll have been using it and leave it running and come back anywhere from a couple of hours to days and it'll be dead. We have to unplug it and plug it back in. Any help?

Reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Then if the problem persist first run the Extended Apple Hardware Test as out lined in > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
and/or contact Apple Support, your Local Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider. > http://www.apple.com/support/imac/service/

Why does the App Store updates finish with (NSURLErrorDomain error 1 1012.)

Why does the Mac App Store updates finish with (NSURLErrorDomain error 1 1012.) rather than ever finding any updates?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why does my Mac Pro try to start up from a blank drive?

I fitted a 2nd drive to my 2006 Mac Pro in anticipation of dual booting Windows (not done yet). The dive is FAT formatted but is empty. Why does the Mac Pro try to boot up from that drive every time I start it up, despite having set the startup disc as OS X in the System Prefs?! Getting sick of seeing the flashing folder with the question mark evry time I start it up.

I might be inclined to think the problem is really on your startup drive. You might try reinstalling Snow Leopard.
Also, try:
Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Sounds to me like you may have gotten a machine with hardware issues, but it's hard to say. It will shut down if it gets too hot, but that's not a normal occurrence. I have never seen a MacBook Pro shut down due to heat, even after lengthy 3D gaming sessions where the fans are running fast and the bottom of the machine is unpleasant to touch.
First thing I would try to do is reset the SMC. If that doesn't help, erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch, which you should always do with a used machine anyway.
If a fresh system doesn't help, you'll need to get it checked out by Apple.
Edit: Oh, and sig is absolutely right... please don't post in all caps! It's very irritating.

Why does the isight on the mac blurry?

Everytime im on photo booth or facetiming, its just blurry. I just bought the macpro and just surprised that its blurry.

Because you, your Mac, or maybe both are doing wrong.

I think you mean "MacBook Pro". Take your new Mac back to the retailer who sold it to you ASAP and ask him to check the problem you see.
If your new MBP is defective, your retailer can help you get it repaired or replaced.
If there is nothing wrong with your new Mac, your retailer can show you how to use it to get the best possible image quality.
