Why my mac beeps 2 short beeps ?

Why my mac beeps 2 short beeps , it happens once or twice or maybe more a day ? Is that means there is a problem with it ?

Perhaps SMC and PRAM resets will help:

I view that as an 'undesirable' noise. If the above does not eliminate it, my prior suggestion of an Apple Genius bar or AASP appointment is the best option.
Ciao.

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

Why is the charger so short?

I always wondered why the charger is so short... Can I buy a new longer one?

If it is genuine Apple it doesn't matter where you get it...only caveat is people having problems with third-party products so I always am carefull about what I buy. As Meg said, an ordinary extension cord can be used to plug into, but I like the firm attachment of the replacement power cord.

General inquiry - Why ar .Mac and publishing/accessing iWeb sites so slow??

Greetings,
I do realize that that general topic has been addressed somehow many times, in whole or in parts. I am just shooting for a general update on the subject(s).
I have grown fond of iWeb and just renewed my .Mac subscription. I am also a user of Dreamweaver and FrontPage. I just find the iWeb/.Mac combination so straight forward and... irresistible fun to play with!
BUT, before i commit more to that environment, I need to know - again:
1. Why is .Mac/iDisk so slow in access?
2. Correspondingly, publishing to .Mac and iDisk is slow. Why, actually?
3. Difficulties in accessing iWeb sites published to .Mac/iDisk when using InternetExplorer (which, whether we want it or not, IS the predominant browser out there...). We know Firefox is better at it.
4. Ultimately, would publishing iWeb sites to other servers (I have a couple of non-iWeb websites currently hosted elsewhere) make publishing AND accessing such sites speedier?
I will appreciate any advice, input, assessment.
- Roger T

I think it's because it's more a social server with a lot of server side features available for .Mac users and iLife applications. Therefore there's a fair amount of server work when users use it for email, web sites with slideshows, backing up, etc. A commercial server will be much faster. There are othesr here that know more about servers than I and can give you a more technical explanation. But you're right, it is slow but convenient.

Why outlook2011 mac version* takes long time to boot with OSX

why outlook2011 mac version* takes long time to boot with OSX

Okay, so after doing all of the above, the computer still takes between 40 seconds and 1 minute or so to boot up, and the VersionCue messages still appear. However I discovered that the "kdcmond cannot retrieve..." messages disappeared after I disabled my ethernet connections. So at least I know that that had nothing to do with the extended boot-up time.
I have heard that the more RAM you have, the longer it takes to boot due to the RAM count. Since I have 10 GB, maybe this is why?
I've included the most recent Console messages below:

Why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

I'm getting this same problem. It seems random when it asks for the password, maybe every 3 or 4 days it'll ask when I plug it in at night. I've tried restoring from an older backup, which has not resolved the issue.

why may mac starts all programmes (word, excel..etc), when I turn my mac on?

Make sure that Open at Login is not selected?
... and that you have not checked the box "Reopen windows when logging back in"?
... and Word, Excel etc are not included in the items listed in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items?

Why my mac is os x 10.8.3 booting and login very slow

i'm useing MBP15 mid 2012 (core-i7, 8gb ram, os x10.8.3) i bought this pc about a month ago. when i first boot it, it was like lighting first but now after 1 month it takes 1min+ to bootup and login why my mac is getting slower plz help me to solve this problem

Once in a while my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air sometimes experience a slow boot time and slow in performance.
I've done the following and it seems to work for me - give it a shot.
First I would open disk utility and verify disk permissions - if errors are found - i would repair it then restart my Macbook.
If no errors are found - then I go to system preferences - start up disk and select my drive as the start up drive and restart it - this would speed up your boot up process.
Also performing a SMC RESET does restore the performance of your Macbook Pro - you can read about what SMC RESET does for your Macbook when you do perform one.
Good luck - hope you get it sorted out.

Maybe the Caps Lock key is lighted?
Is your Apple ID password the same as your user password?

Why is Mac Help so slow?

Why is Mac Help so teeth-grindingly slow in Lion? Perhaps because Lion is a download-only OS, Apple seems to have put the entire Help System online, but Surely there is a way to download the help system to my Mac?
It often takes half a minute just to get my search results, and if I do several searches, this really adds up! in addition, if I am downloading something etc. the help system will give me the message that my Mac is not connected to the Internet. Is this normal?
I am much less likely to use the help system now because it works so poorly.

Does OnyX do anything different from TinkerTool System?
I'm not familiar with TinkerTool system (just the free TinkerTool app).
Anyway, deleting caches and plists according to these instructions helped a great deal.
That's probably sufficient, but Help has changed significantly since Snow Leopard, and the X Lab articles don't seem to have been updated since then.

Why did Mac delete camera memory card?

We used a card reader that had been used on a PC, and a camera memory card that had been used on a PC. A pro master GB compact flash. The photos were put on iPhoto. When the card was put into a reader on a PC after that, it refused to let us see the photos. Now back on the Mac, it says the card is not recognizable.
Why does Mac refuse to allow you to use things on a PC? How do we get the photos back and in the future how do we avoid this?

Hi Terence
I just thought I would let you know that I followed your link and the second video where the guy cuts a piece of card and inserts it into the slot worked for me at only the second attempt. This retrieved the HD Card after it was completely lodged in the CD Drive and invisible.
Thank you so much for the link....you have probably saved me about £100 and a long trip to an Apple Store.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Albert.

Why does Mac OX 10.6.8 keep making copies of a file anytime I download, copy, or move a file?

Why does Mac OX 10.6.8 keep making copies of a file anytime I download, copy, or move a file? It will copy, dowload or move the file, then begin making copies until I reboot. This makes it impossible to deal wit hfiles unless I want to spend a lot of time rebooting after every time, then deleting all the redundant copies.

If I understand what you are saying this is very strange. Sure you tried Reparing Permissions and all that. Also sure you're aware that when moving a file from the hard disk to an external - the default is to make a copy rather than a move. If the movement is with the same disk (e.g. hard disk - hard disk) the Default is a Move rather than Copy.
Anyway try this: Move a file between location where you would normally have this problem while holding the Command Key (which triggers a Move rather than a Copy). I would also try quickly setting up a New User Account and see if the problem is present within this New Account. This may provide a clue as to what is happening.
Also, what browser are you using when the download problem happens?
