Would this speed things up even more?
I recently upgraded to the ATI video card on my Mac Pro, and as indicated by many others on this forum it REALLY helped. In fact, it's made a huge difference and now I think I'll purchase Aperture.
Now, I've got the original stock graphics card left-over. Question: can that card be installed as a second video card, to exclusively power a second monitor? Sorry for the ignorance; prior to Aperture, nothing I did on my various Macs ever really taxed the GPU, so I was always contented with the stock card and therefore am behind the times on the subject.
Right now, I've got a 24" Dell as my primary and a 23" Apple cinema display as my second. I like using the 23" Apple monitor to show images full-screen in Aperture, keeping my library/grid view on the primary 24" monitor.
Would plugging in the second monitor into the second video card, and working in a one-monitor setup in Aperture speed things up? Then Aperture would only only have to power that one display, but I'd still have the second running decently enough for Finder folders, itunes, IM, etc.
while not this exactly, i did try to install a 2nd video card in my G5 and run 3 monitors ...
this works in everything except aperture ... i think i remember reading here somewhere that aperture CANNOT utilize multiple vid cards (???) ...
so what you want is to use 2 cards to power 2 monitors but only have aperture run on one ??? interesting proposition ... i tried to just have aperture on one display - that is i disabled my second one to see if it made a dramatic difference - i must say i DID NOT notice any difference between the x800 running 1 or 2 screens under aperture ... this was with canon 5D RAW files ~ 12MP ... so, i have removed my 2nd vid card and run 2x23" on just the x800 and am PERFECTLY content with the performance ...
i guess that the answer to your question will be only determined by trying it out ... as the definition of "decently enough" can only be made by you as the user ...

Have the developers considered randomizing the numbers for the passcode? It is easy to watch the pattern when someone enters their passcode. However, if the numbers appeared is a random order each time, it would enhance the security feature even more. Personally, I would prefer this option with security in mind.
He slightly beat you Meg, and I'm in the same boat with you. If I used a passcode I believe I would go with the feature to use a longer alphanumeric passcode rather than a 4 digit number even with the random code entry.
And of course if Apple did put this feature in they need to make it an option or we'll see lots of posts wanting to know how to get rid of it. -
This is just getting even more horrid!
Have an iPod mini, that just froze and then wouldn't turn back on. Then after much button pressing I got the infamous exclamation mark.
So then went online, followed the tips, and got the apple logo, which I then managed to get into disk mode resulting in the disk mode screen coming up.
Then plugged the iPod using the USB port back into the computer, now iTunes isn't recognising the iPod (it's not appearing in iTunes, although 'My Computer' does!
I really need to get this sorted out! what shall I do, as to do the steps suggested, my iTunes needs to see that my iPod is there!!Here's a bunch of things that might be helpful:

I have 18 M dsl speed. It is fast. Firefox consistently tests at 8.xx-9.xx M, while IE and Chrome come in at 17.xx-18 M. I have uninstalled firefox, erased all traces of it; loaded a brand new install and tested speed in a clean copy, without any add-ons, bookmarks, etc. The speed was the same...slow. I really LIKE Firefox, and will not give it up, but this speed thing is annoying. Any suggestions? Yes my computer is old, (CPU = 2M), but IE and chrome have no problem.

HT6058 Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?
Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?
Thats a hard question to answer. The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag. Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower. I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device. Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

Since dowloading Mavericks last week my Mac is very slow. Anyone else having this problem? any suggestions as to what to do to speed things up?
It will help people help you better if you post your iMac variant and Mac OSX version. Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info" button. That will give this window:
The model is in the line I've indicated with the red arrow. Please also post the results for "Memory" and "Processor."
DO NOT post the serial number, however. -
Hi all, just downloaded a security update on my new iphone 4S. The phone may be more secure but all the Aps icons have been downgraded in art quality why would this be. Before the download the phone looked the business definitely high end quality now it looks like a second rate cheapo. Please advise how to get the smart Aps icons back. Best regards SuttertonSteve
Hi KiltedTim, as a newbie to Apple, iphones and forums I would appreciate an explanation of the 'Trolls and Mods' comments on your posting. I presume the Mods are Apple sentinels but am I really a Troll just because I made a criticism of the new iOS version (even though I did not know I was actually doing that). Am I a Troll to you because you personally disapprove of criticism of the new iOS or is Troll used by the community to describe anyone who speaks up if they are not happy about a change. Please understand that by asking these questions it is not my intention to be confrontational (I’ve been called far worse than a Troll over the years) but as I’m new to the group an insight into the politics may be beneficial. I’m an Old **** who isn’t technically gifted and may need the help of this group in the future so I don’t want to stand on anyone’s toes. Best regards Suttertonsteve.

when ever i put in an address or click on a site a "Set Web Site Rule" window pops up asking if i want Firefox exe to allow some function to occur. it does not seem to be security related but rather simple functions. Step 1, step 2 , blah blah . "Set Web Site Rule" window is annoying. how do i shut off this function it popped up more than a dozen times to connect to even this web site? then i had to click it another dozen plus times to get the next mozilla site open !!!! ??? if firefox does not know what it is doing how can i??????
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i am just setting up this pc how ever i down loaded the most recent version 3.6.3by submiter - self solved: (thanks for the psychic help)
seems the problem was not with Firefox itself. Rather it seemed to have been an ad-blocker program called "WebMonitor" . i began by deleting Firefox and then opened Explorer (which i seldom do) and the same thing began to happen with MSN. So i
began deleting anti-virus programs till i came to the above mentioned freeware ad blocker "WebMonitor". it is a shame because i uised to have a program that blocked all ads on a web site which was such a relief to me. -
I can no longer type in unlimited information on my adobe reader in pdf. At one time this was an option, it would give you an icon that would allow you to type in more information. What happen?
That is not an option of Adobe Reader, but the way a PDF is created.

I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size (or some consistent rule), but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would expect to line up with 10pt Palatino, for example, doesn't. I've tried using the inspector, at least to get both faces to behave the same for given settings, but I haven't been able to. How much control does Pages allow for this type of settings, and are there any hidden secrets as to how to do so? Many thanks
Message was edited by: Just me thenIf you set the line spacing in the inspector to Exactly and 12 points for 10 point type, it will work the way you want.

I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is there another way to update iPhoto?
Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

My Iphone 4 32GB started having this issue when I downloaded the 2 last 6.1.X... VOICE CONTROL pops-up even when I sleep and calls random people just by the sound of the snoring... in FACETIME even more annoying. I confirm that it does this day and night
Turn off Voice Control.
Otherwise, basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). -
iphone 6 automatically turn on even not connect to charger, why would this happen and how to solve it?
I'm not an apple expert or anything, but after hearing this from a coworker (and doing a quick google search) many of the generic chargers do not work in the 5s (especially after the most recent update.) I'm thinking this may be the problem in your case...the charger is not working so the phone just needs a good charge from either an apple certified charger or a generic that will actually work with the phone. I've read some people are able to pull the cable out, turn it around and then plug it back in facing the opposite direction to get it to work. Many have reported, however, that even when this remedies the cable issue, its still won't charge the phone while it is completely dead (which is likely the case since it won't power on at all.) So if you haven't fixed your problem by now, go buy a new charger and see what happens. You might be able to go into and apple store and borrow a charger there for a few minutes to see if this actually IS the problem. That way you don't waste your money before buying.

Still nothing about File Vault that needs a bug fix for almost every user. This is becoming even more disappointing!
Apple Enterprise Support is aware of this issue. They have specific instructions which attempt to remediate the issue, however, attempting on two different MBP laptops, so far has not succeeded.
The problem to be specific is - hang at login. The Filevaulted user account gets its password entered, then the "progress bar" mid screen will be seen to halt, never resuming. NVRAM resets dont necessarily cure this issue, but turning off FV2 definitely does.
We are seeing this with 10.10.2 fully Apple-SUS updated machines.
Feedback has been sent to Apple over this as well.
Im recommending:
a. turn off FV2 until such time as a Apple provided update cures it
b. consider the Sophos WDE solution if WDE is absolutely required (disclosure: I havent attempted this, not sure about its workability)
Maybe you are looking for
