The machine is on its second hard drive. When I had the first one replaced I asked at the Apple Store if they could replace it with a Fusion drive and the "genius" claimed they weren't permitted to install upgrades. Seemed silly to me. I've been waiting to replace the whole computer until Apple...

My late 2009 27-inch iMac is running very slowly. I'd like to know how I can fix the errors flagged in the attached EtreCheck report. Should I reinstall 10.12? If so, how? I don't think Apple will let me download the installer since I've already downloaded it once. Maybe from the recovery...

Never mind. Problem solved. With the sign-in screen zoomed the only part of the keyboard that could be displayed was the region from the Q to the T of QWERTY, so I couldn't enter the whole password. After enough fooling around, I finally figured out that a three-finger swipe would move the view...

I tried many times to shrink the picture, with various numbers of fingers in various directions. Since the OS isn't up, nothing much works. I have a BlueTooth keyboard and tried to enter the password from there but that, as expected, didn't work. I haven't installed any new apps in some time...

When it's turned on, my iPad Air opens with the background photo zoomed in such a way that the keyboard can't be reached to enter the password. Neither a restart or a reset will clear this.

Thanks for the suggestion but that was done long ago. I find WindowServer often using 30% of a core with peak usage as high as 80%. iMac 27" late 2009 Core 2 Duo 3.06 Ghz 12 GB. Problem is worst when running Parallels Desktop, which uses a whole core, along with EyeTV. Mavericks and earlier...

Flash: One of the things I tried was uninstalling Flash. I just reinstalled it a couple of days ago so I know it's up-to-date. Google: I am Google-free, as far as I know. I even use Bing as my default search engine, but do occasionally use Google Maps because of their on-the-street feature...

Ever since I installed Yosemite my iMac has been running slower than any prior version of OS X I've used, all the way back to 10.4. I get jumpy movement of the cursor and jitter in Youtube videos. These are things I've never seen before. It has been suggested that I find and run a program...

Thank you for you response, I did as you suggest and didn't know what to do with the result, so have been trying other things none of which have accomplished much. So I'm back, and these are the results returned by EtreCheck: Launch Daemons: ℹ️ [running] at.obdev.littlesnitchd.plist...

Last weekend I installed Yosemite and I'm sorry I did. The computer is definitely slower than it was with Mavericks. I have a 3.06 Core 2 Duo and run Parallels almost every day. It uses up a core. Sometimes I also run EyeTV at the same time as Parallels. It also uses up most of a core. With...

Thank you for the response. The Apple ID's are stored in 1Password. Removing them from 1Password won't affect what the what the system thinks is the one and only Apple ID for that computer. (Except for the iTunes store, which wants one of her ID's.) I don't see anything that's clearly...

In the aftermath of installing Yosemite on my wife's Macbook Pro, in order to set up iCloud I needed to enter an Apple ID. The system presented a pane with MY Apple ID and wanted MY password.[1] It would not let me change the Apple ID to my wife's. I have no idea how my Apple ID became...

That's correct. iMovie HD doesn't work IN MAVERICKS. It will still work on the old Core Duo iMac in the basement running 10.6.8. It will be a pain to transfer multi-gigabyte video files between computers. Back to running sneakernet with an external drive. Or I suppose I could install 10.6 or...

I just tested and the problem has disappeared. I had reported the problem to both Apple and EyeTV support. I can only suspect that one or the other slipped in an update.

At the time that we bought a G5 iMac, I had some old 8mm and Super 8 movies and camcorder videos, all of which had been digitized. With that G5 I was able to sit down with the then-current version of iMovie and make some fairly sophisticated videos without bothering to first read any manuals or...

I finally installed Mavericks a couple of weeks ago. It has created several problems, one of which is that iMovie HD is no longer usable. A simple action such as trying to clip an audio file in the timeline causes iMovie HD to freeze. In installing Mavericks, I first made a couple of clone...

It took several tries but the procedure on that web page you cited did work. Problem solved.

Yes I did restart.

Good thought. However: EyeTV doesn't have to be running for this to happen. Activity Monitor shows only EyeTV Helper running. Killing it didn't change the effect. I am convinced that EyeTV is the problem because, with it running in full screen mode in the auxiliary monitor, clicking on it or...
