Why doesn't my iMac tell me what is being down loaded when I can see that my modem is downloading something

why doesn't my imac tell me what is being dowloaded when i can see that my modem is downloading something?

There are many reasons for the activity light on your cable or DSL modem to be flashing. Your Mac could be checking for or downloading updates in the background. It could be checking e-mail. It could be syncing a cloud service like iCloud, Dropbox, etc.
If your Mac isn't the only thing on the network, then the light could be flashing due to some other device on the network downloading an update, syncing something, etc.
And, of course, it's always possible your network is under attack by an automated botnet or something. You'd be surprised how often a device exposed to the internet directly - as a modem like this is - will be hit with attempted attacks, in an attempt to find things that are vulnerable.

Why doesn't my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

Why doesn’t my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

Yes, otherwise some people might have to walk up to the third floor and turn on iMac,
and then go back down to living room in order to stream form iTunes. My iMac is close,
but not in same room. There must be something I don't have set up right.

My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

Welcome to the support community group.
First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop. Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power. Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop. Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility. Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
Check back if you're still having problems.

Why doesn't my custom ItemRenderer accept Application font size?

I have a CSS file:
s|Application {
fontFamily: Verdana;
fontSize: 9;
Why doesn't my custom mx:AdvancedDataGrid ItemRenterer accept the font size defined in the stylesheet?

What is the value of fontSize? Could it be set in some other selector?

Why doesn't my iMac see my external drive?

I have an iMac 20" 2.16 Core 2 Duo. The machine is operating fine. That's not the issue. I am trying to plug into it a 1TB Maxtor external drive that I used on my G4. The problem is the external does not show up on my iMac. I have tried using disk utility, but it doesn't see the drive. Here's the kicker. When I do System Profiler, it is seeing that the external drive is there. I have tried it through both the Maxtor's firewire and USB connections. In either connection, the System Profiler sees the drive. My question is how can I access it?

Why doesn't my iMac recognize my external hard drive?

I updated my imac from leopard to snow leopard to lion. I plugged in MY Book external hard drive, which had been working, but now it is not recognized. I went to the disk utility but all the First Aid buttons are greyed out and I can't do anything. I can't back it up anyplace because its not recognized. What do I do??
How do I upgrade the Firmware, which is one suggestion I read in the forum? The My Book was separated into to sections, but I also upgraded my Mac Book Pro to Lion, so it doesn't work there either. Double trouble!!

Go to finder .
Apps
You see 1 app or nothing like bootcam or idisc
put your mouse behind apps and you see hide klick whith your mouse on this and enjoy.now you see idisc and
Your computer.

Why doesn't the iTunes store accept my charge card number?

iTunes store will not accept charge card number.

The number itself may be fine, check all of the other details that you've entered match those on your statement.

Why doesn't my iMAC (Safari) always ask to save my password for a website?

Many of my old websites have a saved password on the Safari preferences. But lately no new sites have asked me "if i want to save the password to this site".
My settings in Safari have not changed.. Any ideas what causes this and how to change set up to always ask to save my password?
Thank you,
VA

The OP doesn't say they are having problems with their old websites.
Many sites delibertly code their login web pages so passwords won't be saved. I don't know how to determine this.
Now, if you are having a problem with an old website that previously worked. It may not because the keychain is outdated.
This is a real pain. Especially when I deleted a bunch of keychains, yet when I go back to safari and type username and asswords, I don't get a prompt to save them. At least at login.yahoo.com
What is the chance of safari getting changed to remember all entered data regardless of how the login webpage is encoded? I have heard third party applications do this. It shouldn't be website determined. Shared computers - no saving, most other cases, up to user.
Now instead of my passwords safe in the keychain, I have to save them somewhere else. A lot more inconvient and insecure.

Why doesn't my iMac recognize Turbo Tax 2013 program?

I have installed turbo tax on this same iMac the last three years without incident, but when I tried to install 2013, the iMac does not even allow me to install it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://qa1.images.turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/system-requirem ents_thickbox.jsp?TB_iframe=true
As I can see, TurboTax 2013 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 with a 64-bit processor > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3696 If you have a 64-bit processor and your info is right, you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Why doesn't my iMac boot up? It only keeps re-booting, then shuts down and re-boots

For some reason, since installing Mountain Lion, I have had a lot of problems with the iMac starting...it keeps re-booting and re-booting...
what can I do to get into my iMac?

Srartup disk Full can destroy your Hard Drive installation.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, or are running 10.7+, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there.
If it starts in Safe Mode, see if you can empty the trash or free up a few GB by trashing files.

Why doesn't my iMac Restart?

Suddenly I noticed that my iMac wouldn't restart, it freezed with a white screen after giving to tone of restarting. I tried several times but the same thing occured. Then I thought it could be because I always had my iPod connected (although this shouldn't be a problem at all!!), so I disconnected the iPod and the Restart went out succesfully.
Coincidence? Is it due to the iPod?
Help please. I want to know what the real problem might be in order to solve it as quick as possible.
Thank you.

I suggest that you familiarize yourself with any regular maintenance that your Mac needs that you may not be doing by using this excellent info site;
X Labs
Also, make sure that you have all the Apple recommended software/firmware updates for your Mac and iPod.

Why doesn't my iMac burn printable DVDs?

My iMac:
27-inch, Late 2009

My issue:
I have had no issues burning CDs and DVDs before. I recently bought a new printer that prints onto DVDs, so I bought some generic printable DVD-RWs and tried to burn from iDVD. The process seems to start ok, but stops about 1 minute into the actual burn and spits the DVD out of the drive. No error message, but this screen remains...
Just to check that my Superdrive was still working, I then tried a non-printable TDK DVD+R and a non-printable Kodak DVD-R and burned with no issues.
I decided it must be the generic printable DVDs, so I bought some printable imation DVD-Rs, but these will not work either.
Is there a known issue with printable DVDs or do I just need to keep trying different brands until I find one that works?

It may be the layer they have and your Superdrive - it may not like the different "feel" of printable media. I don't think iDVD has anything to do with it.
Take a look at these which I found googling:
