Why has my Mac re-arranged my Logic files?

I wiped my Mac's hard drive the other day pending installation of Snow Leopard and re-installation of all my software. Having now installed the operating system, it seems all Logic project folders on external drives have somehow been re-arranged for me, so that each project version ('Project1.1.logic', 'Project 1.2.logic' etc - that's how I save my work) now has its own folder, and in each folder, instead of files with the above names, I've now got another folder for each saved project version called 'LgDoc', and three files in that which are called 'displayState', 'documentData', and 'windowImage'.
I assume/hope this is normal and that everything will be as it normally is once I've re-installed Logic 9? Thanks for any advice.

Yes. What you're seeing is the package contents of the Logic project file. Once you install Logic 9 and up date it to the current version the folder contents will be back to normal again.

Why has my mac mails suddenly stopped sending email

I have a new mac air--not even 6 months old. My mac mail has had the same address for almost 10 years. In the last year my mac mail will suddenly stop sending. The last time I talked to mac support they said there was a definite problem and when the new update was installed with the fix, it would start working again--it did, a few weeks ago. Today...it stopped sending again. WHY?

How are you trying to read them? What process are you using and what applications are involved?

Why has my Mac mini become so slow?

I realise this sounds like the oldest newbie question in the book, and could be down to any of a hundred things, but I'll try and explain as clearly as possible. (I've been using Windows for 15+ years, Macs for the last 2+, and I always associated Windows with this kind of gradually increasing lethargy.)
In a word, it comes down to lag. Every operation which used to be instant when the Mac was new, now has a delay of anything from half a second to over 10 seconds. It feels like walking in mud. And it's always the first time I do something I haven't done for a few minutes -- if I repeat the same operation immediately afterwards, it's instant. Long delays are often (but not always) accompanied by the beachball -- which I see *a lot*.
What sort of operations? Well, dropping down a menu, for example. Or changing volume. (Using the keyboard or Apple remote.) Or switching between open apps. It's not unusual for me to wait over 10 seconds for the computer to respond, for something as simple as a volume change. If I repeat it, it's instant. But if I wait a few minutes, or switch to a different app, the lag's there again.
The mini is 2 years old. It's a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo with 512MB RAM, with wireless keyboard and mouse. About 2 months ago, I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, using the Archive & Erase method. It's permanently connected to an external 1TB firewire drive. I have MenuMeters installed, which rarely shows over 10% usage per CPU, including during the slowdowns. (If I'm ripping a DVD with Handbrake, it goes to 100%, so I'm not surprised if it's slightly unresponsive then.) In trying to speed things up, I've set MenuMeters to only display CPU, updating every 3 seconds, but it hasn't made a difference. I don't have a lot else installed on the mini -- it's mainly a media player. During a typical day it runs Firefox, Quicktime with Perian, DVD Player, Front Row, and iTunes. (iTunes is so sluggish I avoid using it when I can.) The only memory resident apps are Vine Server and Audioscrobbler.
Does this sound familiar? Any suggestions? I'll supply a System Profile file if that'll help.

Unlike most Windows PCs, Macs have always seemed to be a little fussy about RAM, so in the broadest sense, the answer to your question whether you can use any brand of RAM (compatible specs of course), is that no, you can't. Nor is it always possible to say what brands are suitable and which are not. Better, really, to buy RAM for Macs from suppliers who have a history of Mac support (thus are aware of compatibility issues) and who offer a lifetime, no quibble, warranty, such that if the RAM doesn't work, or fails in service later, it can be swapped out without any hassle or additional cost. Crucial.com (the link I provided previously) is one such.
As far as fitting it, it is always better to have an approved service provider do it in that if there are any problems, they can be held accountable, and if there is any warranty cover, they will not risk voiding it. Each will charge a different amount for this kind of work however, so it's worth shopping around for prices for upgrading RAM - including the cost of the service provider also providing the RAM, since some can source compatible modules at wholesale.

Why has my mac wiped everything off my account?

I was aiming to delete some accounts that were not needed and were taking up space. Without realising I started to remove the account with everything I use on it. After I clicked cancel, my account still remains but everything on it has been reset. My pictures, documents, itunes etc.
Does that mean they are permanently deleted? Is there any way I can get them back?

You should be able to restore everything from your most recent backup.

Great news....
and I am posting this all around.
This morning Sep12 I woke up and I was checking my email on the iPad and I noticed over 50msg... there were just a few last night... Then I saw... OVI 50msg! What?
I got to it and there it was... OVI mail working.
I re-edited my ipad config because it was setup for POP and I tried to change it to IMAP... I messed up, but realized... I could not simply edit on the iPad, so I deleted the email account and re-created using IMAP. It worked!!!
I have the OVI mail now configured on both my iPad and on my new Samsung S4 mini.
Here is what I am using:
income
imap.mail.ovi.com

Why has adobe reader stopped reading the pdf files on external SD memory?

I have Samsung not 2 with external sd memory that I stored all my pdf files into it , I haven't had any problem with using Adobe reader for reading all files from my sd memory but for unknown reason I can't see all pdf files from sd anymore. In order to reach the files ,I have to use the folders view tab in the adobe reader instead of all pdf files view .
Thanks a lot for any feedback.

On Android OS 4.1 - 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or older, Adobe Reader for Android version 11.2.x has a known defect in the "All PDFs" view. The All PDFs view does not show the files and folders on an external SD card. A workaround is to use the Folder View instead of the All PDFs view. We have fixed the defect and plan to include the fix in the next release of Reader for Android.
On Android OS 4.4 (KitKat) only, neither All PDFs view nor Folder View shows any files or folders on an external SD card. Reader cannot save any changes to the files on an external SD card, either. We are still working on fixing the problems. In the meantime, please copy the files from your external SD card to your device's internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Documents/...) using a File Manager/Browser app or use a cloud storage service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to store files. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Why does my Mac keep getting the bouncing file folder when I plug in in the UK? It's costing £100 each time to fix it.

I can plug my Mac in to the wall at home and certain surge protectors, but for some reason and it's a costly thing to discover, but some surge protectors kill my Mac. I get the floating file folder with question mark and have to get the power strip inside replaced.
<Re-Titled By Host>

It seems that you are experiencing some unusual problems with your electrical utility. I suggest that you get in touch with knowledgeable repair facility technicians and get their advice regarding a proper surge protector or a regulated power supply. Any electrical device that is subjected to extreme voltage spikes can be damaged.
Ciao.

Why can't Mac OS X open certain files?

I am running Mac OS 10.4.7
I just downloaded windows media player 9 for Mac OS X...it is on my desktop labeled as 'Windows Media.sitx'
When I go to click on it to install, it says 'Their is no default application specified to open the document Windows Media.sitx'
So I have to click Cancel or Choose Application. If I click Chose Application it just opens my Macintosh HD. I am a new user of Mac and have never run across a .sitx exension.

A downloaded file with a .sitx extension was compressed with Stuffit and you need a utility called Stuffit Expander to open these files which is no longer pre-installed on new Macs by Apple.
You can download Stuffit Expander (free) at this link.

Help. Why has the end content of my Indesign file disappeared?

Hi. I'm using Indesign 5.5 on a Windows 7 PC.
I'm currently making an epub in Indesign. It is a long flowing document on a single page. I'm separating chapters with Style headings. I've been slowly going through it and adding the image files. I've reached page 66 and the end of my document is missing. I've gone back through earlier versions and in each have seen that there is a little bit more of my text. Very puzzled I tried to copy the missing text onto the end of my current document and it doesn't appear. I'm now wondering if there is a 66 page size limit?
If there is what can I do to complete my epub. Start a new file for the second half of my book and somehow merge them?
Any help appreciated as this unforseen problem is like a kick in the guts.
Thanks.

You need to back up and learn some basics before you get to far into ePub. (Sorry to be blunt)
- Click the red overset symbol to load all the overset text.
- Add one page to the end of the document.
- At that new page, Hold the Shift key while clicking inside the page margin to flow all the overset text, adding new pages as needed. (You should see the laoded curser change appearance when the shift key is held)

Why has my icon changed to an A on my Mac dashboard and how do I get the original back?

The Firefox icon (fox /earth) which has been on my Mac's Dashboard forever has changed to a stylized "A" made up of a ruler pencil and brush. I know not why. I would like to revert to the original. Why has this happened and how can I go back. I'm using version 9.0.1 on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8.

Hi bitoruf,
I've seen this happen periodically, but it's pretty easy to fix. Just delete the icon from your dock. Then recreate it by dragging the Firefox icon into the doc from the applications folder.
Hopefully this helps!

My mac has started sending yahoo emails out as if they were being sent from an old gmail account I haven't used in years. Why has this just started happening?

My mac has started sending yahoo emails out as if they were being sent from an old gmail account I haven't used in years. Why has this just started happening?

It is important to understand that Mail uses TWO servers, a Receiving Server and a Sending Server.
When you create a new mail message, or reply to a message, the Sender server is shown in the message composition window like this:
That drop-down window allows you to select which of the Sending Servers you previously set up should be used.
In general, once you choose a Sending server, its choice will "stick" for all future replies to messages from that Receiving mailbox.

Why has my macbook pro serial number changed after getting it repaired?

I just noticed that the serial number in the 'about this mac' information has a different serial number to what is on the back of the macbook pro, which is the same serial number on my apple care/phone . I had a lot of issues with my macbook pro it was sent to repair in july 2013 then in august 2013. Why has the serial number changed? I tried using my original serial number to use the online apple care service however it did not recgonice my serial number when I tried the new serial number it regconised it but said I did not have apple care but I do. I don't know what the apple team have done to my macbook as it requires to go in for repair again.

Was it repaired at Apple or an authorized service provider?
You need to contact the repair place/store and/or call Apple and make them aware of the problem - sooner rather than later. Make sure you give them the repair/case number so they can find the paperwork for it.
I had a logic board replaced and the tech also did not do anything - I called Apple and the tech came back to my house to take care of it. It's important because you want to make sure that your Applecare is being associated with the right serial number.

Why does my Mac stay on the white screen when I turn it on?

Why does my Mac stay on white screen when I turn it on?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 3
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 4
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 5
Boot in safe mode. 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. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
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.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 6.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 6
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 7
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 8
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 9
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 10
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
