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. -

hi, can someone tell me what exactly is QuickTimeMpeg2.dmg? Its some kind of installer file for downloading QuickTime Mpeg-2 Playbaack Component but I don't know where exactly to find it or how to get it on my mac?
Hello,

If you want it on your Mac, not sure it works or not in your OS version.
Then double click on the DMG, that'll mount the disk image, in that you'l likely see an installer .pkg to double click on to install. -
Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7? When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1 Your software is up to date."
Because you have a 1st generation iPad and iOS 5.1.1 is the last update for it.
It will not get any further iOS updates beyond 5.1.1
iOS 7 requires at least an iPad 2 -
Why doesn't my MB Air connect automatically to my TC right when it turns on?
Why doesn't my MB Air connect automatically to my TC right when it turns on? I have my iPhoto Library stored there and I use a picture as a background but when the computer starts, the volume doesn appear to exist so therefore iPhoto doesn't find the library and doesnt show the background.
(I'm sorry for my English, but it's not my native laguage).Don't apologize for your English, I am quite certain I would be far worse in your native language, whatever it is. The drive does not connect because access privileges are connected to the user that is logging on and OS X doesn't have that information until your account has fully logged on.

If the mac knows that a disk was not ejected properly why doesn't it tell me which one? Would that be making life too easy for non computer nerds????
Hello Rails50
All External Hard Drives, Flash Drives, Camera Cards, iPods, iPads etc. need to be ejected before you disconnect them. Likewise you may also get that message from any of the above mentioned devices if it is going bad, has a bad cord or a flaky connection.
To check your Console Log Messages, go to: Applications > Utilities > Console and select All Messages.
On that note, it would also help greatly if we knew what external device(s) you are using with your iMac?
