Activity Stream

I recently woke up my computer from the sleep mode & clicked on the Safari icon in the dock. It tried to launch, (visible in the menu bar). And then I got the message " The application Safari quit unexpectedly". I tried the relaunch & the reset buttons, but got the same results. I used Disk Utility & Disk Warrior. I restarted from my backup drive & Safari worked fine, so I dragged & dropped the safari.plist into the main hard drive hoping this would fix the problem. Unfortunately nothing I've tried worked. I'm using another browser to get help on your web site.

I hope you all saw the WWDC Keynote today. I am really juiced about 10.9 but realize the Cat names are gone (OS X Mavericks). The OS X Mavericks looks like a solid update. The one thing that got my attention was 10.9's multiple display support and the AppleTV turning an HDTV into a second display. Plus the new Mac Pro took me back to the cube a little bit. I just hope Apple can get the heat right this time and Thunderbolt 2 externals start coming down the pipe.

To change an icon, I use "get info" Then I drag the replacement icon over top of the existing icon in the get info screen. Sometimes I get the expected behavior: The image I want to use is now the icon associated with the file[such as the ico for an app. That only happens with some images downloaded or saved from the internet. Those images have ,jpg or png extensions or sometimes no visible extension. Most of the time the image that becomes the icon is not the picture I expected such as an apple, a key or a book. It is the letters JPEG or PNG in a white rectangle with a tiny picture...

I have been running slow for a week or so and cannot find the reason. My activity monitor shows crash report every 10 second or so. is this normal or do I have a problem? I'm new here so be "gentle"

Just signing up for Adobe CC but my late '08 MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz feels a bit old. It meets min req's, but I know it will struggle. I'm planning to replace it with a desktop for the extra power – either a Mac-Mini i7 quad, or an iMac 21'5" i5. I'm not sure which yet. The MBP is not ready for retirement yet, so I want to spend a small amount of money to increase performance and keep portability. Visiting the crucial site I found RAM & SSD upgrades for less than $300: http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=D1E1C988A5CA7304...

Hello to all, I've got a Gmail IMAP account that I use on both my MBP and my iPhone / iPad. I've noticed, however, that messages I sent from my iPhone / iPad don't show up in the sent items on my MBP and vice versa. After reading a few articles, I think I fixed the problem by expanding the folder tree for the account on my MBP and highlighting the sent items folder for that account down at the bottom left of the screen, then clicking on Mailbox > Use this mailbox for... > Sent. Seems like that did the job.

How do you usually convert video (like m2ts, mod, flv) to Galaxy supported formats? I tried Handbrake, but the video quality is barely satisfactory. Just found a freebie MacX Mobile Video Converter. But it seems to be new for me. Does anyone know how it works?

Hello, I have a macpro Dual Core-Intel Xeon. I am on Lion 7.5. I have rEFIt installed. I am trying to login to Recovery Mode, but am not able to do so. When I check diskutil list on the command line, the recovery partition exists: "Apple_HFS Mac OS X Lion Recovery... 588.6 MB disk1s3" When I restart the machine and hold down Command +R, it does not take me into recovery mode. it simply goes to the rEFIt screen and restarts again. I have ran disk permissions and that did not help. I have Boot Camp installed. Here is what my partition looks like:

I am in immediate need to transfer all my emails from outlook 2011 to apple mail. But when I select the import option in apple mail, outlook 2011 is not there in options. The other options i could see are of Entourage. So is there no compatibility in mac mail for outlook 2011?? Is there is any way to do this transfer or you can say migration of emails, I will be very grateful. Thank you for your support.

Hello I bought a used Imac (just over a year old). It is born with Lion which was on the machine when I got it. When I tried to install the machine again I started to erase the hard drive and insert my USB key with Mountain lion that I have used on my other Macs, to create a "Clean install". The problem comes at the error message I repeatedly get after a few minutes of installation. Note the computer is connected to the Internet, and I have tried both wired and wireless on several different networks. Error message: "Can not download the additional components needed to install Mac...

Somehow, I have gotten a .dmg file in my Mac that keeps trying to open and take over with repeated requests to open it so that I have to force quit the whole computer to get away from it. In doing a search in Finder, I cannot find this file to get rid of it. Can anyone help me seek and destroy this file? It says it is a Document; http://69.41.161.139:10080 and goes by the name of ChickeninvadersUOinstaller416.dmg and it's 19.4MB. None of these identifiers help my Finder find it and a Google search yields no results also. Sure would appreciate some insight on this! Thanks!

Some days ago, i purchased some movies from iTunes Store. All along, i had previously used some audio conversion software, such as tuneclone, mac m4p converter etc., how about the itunes video converter, i has not yet tried. My friend recommended me M4V Converter Plus, and i took a try, feeling really good. Are there any other suggestions? Talk about this, please.

Finding windows pc more comfortable and cheaper I have switched over to it. I also have a mac book air, outlook 2011 for sending and receiving emails, address store and calender management. So now I want to move/transfer all this data to windows pc having outlook 2010. I am sure there must be some way out, simple and fast. Thank you

Help! My apple mail has frozen - I cannot click on anything within the application nor on the menu bar. I can force it to quit, but no joy when restarting. All other applications seem fine and the other user on this Mac has a functioning apple mail. I can also get my email working on my laptop. I have reinstalled OS X Mountain Lion with no solution. Any suggestions please?

I think this topic must have been posted earlier also. I want to transfer my emails from mac mail to outlook 2011. When I go to import option in outlook 2011 and select the mac mail to import the mail boxes, all I get imported is blank folders every time. So, I thought to re-install ms office 2011, but the results were the same. Now I need some solutions that can solve this problem. Looking forward for some positive answers. Thanks

I have switched back to windows pc for reasons, its cheaper and everybody in the office has windows. Earlier I used to use mac book pro with apple mail to send and receive emails. Now in windows pc I use outlook 2007 as my email client. There are a lot of emails in my apple mail that I need to move to outlook 2007. I have tried every possible way to transfer these emails but there has been no solutions till now. All I know is apple mail supports .mbox file format and outlook supports .pst. So how do I convert these .mbox files to .pst so that these emails can be imported into outlook 2007....

I can no longer open my Downloads folder by clicking on the Dock icon. When I tried to, a question mark (in bold type) appeared in front of the icon and the folder name that appeared had "17-19-06" added; ie, it said "Downloads 17-19-06" instead of just "Downloads". After two or three days of this, the Dock icon has now disappeared, with the aforementioned question mark appearing in its place. The same "Downloads 17-19-06" name appears when I hover the cursor near the question mark. In both cases I am still able to access the Downloads folder via Finder.

If anyone has an idea about this I would be grateful indeed as 3 months of trying has failed. In my music studio, I have a powerPC Mac G5 running 10.3.9 (Panther). Yes its old but its installed with Final Cut Pro, and I need to keep it. Anyway, The Presonus V-Fire is a 16 audio channel in/out interface that converts firewire to Roland's R-BUS format, thence to Roland Hard disc recorder. With this setup, the Presonus is properly recognised in Audio/MIDI setup on the Mac in all its 16 channels. I can stream multilple channels of audio IN to the Mac (using Logic DAW software) so that works...

Just play a game about asking the next person a question. I go first: What gift did you give to your father yesterday?

Some time back my laptop was stolen so I migrated over to mac. Earlier I had a windows laptop and luckily I had a few months prior saved the Microsoft Outlook 2007 PST files to a external hard drive. What I need to do now is take those PST files and convert them to MBOX files for Apple mail. I have done some reading online, totally over my head, so what I would love is a trusted application that would do it for me, or a simplier work around than what I am finding. Any help and guidance you can offer is most appreciated.

I'm trying to use Apple Mail with my Google Apps account which has multiple domains & nicknames mapped to it. In Mail, separated with commas, I have added several email addresses to a single account: info@domain.com, my.name@domain.com, info@other.com, my.name@other.com, info@third.com, my.name@third.com, etc I can send and receive from each as expected, however, each email is marked with my primary GoogleApps emails address and is using that for the return address too:

OS 10.8.3 Mail crashed this morning in a way I have never seen. I click on the dock icon and get: the last time you opened mail, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows...would you like to try again? I try again but mail won't open. I moved the mail folder to the trash (did NOT flush) and inserted mail folder from my back up but I got the same error message. I am not going to fiddle further right now without guidance because so much of my life is dependent on email. Here is crash report from Console: Process: Mail Path: ...

I put the smiley because this is not an emergency. Just an odd thing. Searching the :) Fora gave me a lot of irrelevant topics. My system is as below. The Airport I have: AirPort Extreme 802.11 a/b/g/n was purchased less than a year ago. So I see the Airport Utility 6.3 update is available! Because nothing makes a life that is a hideous montage of tragedy and shame better than a software update. Suddenly, women no longer call Human Resources when you walk into the room. Children sing sing in your praise. I update because, I cannot tell you how many times I have used Airport Utility...

I'm running 10.8.3. I updated from 10.8.2 about 10 days ago when the App Store told me it was available. I followed the few directions and it did its thing and rebooted. When it was all over, along with all my usual junk, there was a new disk icon on my desktop: BOOT OSX. The contents looked like a very bare bootable system, perhaps for recovery or whatever. Anyhow, I did a "safe" reboot, followed by a normal reboot, and the icon was gone. What was that thing?
