Hello all, MacBook Pro 2.4 running 10.6.6. About a month ago I was dragging a folder across the Desktop and accidentally dropped it onto the top grey section of another open folder. Now the icon for that dropped folder appears on the top grey section of almost all the other folders I open, and I...

This problem is on 'tearing my hair out' but I thought I should put it on a separate thread now as I've just noticed strange things that might help with any diagnosis anyone feels willing to venture. The basic problem is slow running on the internet. This began suddenly last Saturday. I have...

MacBook Tiger 10.4.11, Safari 4.0, spent two days trying to get the internet working properly. After restart, it will bring up the home page and one or maybe two subsequent pages but after that it takes an absolute age for any new pages to come up. Have updated Adobe Flash, made sure I've got...

Trying to resolve suddenly poor web performance on partner's MacBook (10.4.11). YouTube videos won't run, and Safari crashes when asked to show all bookmarks. Am already running Safari 4.0.4, I have cleaned up caches etc with Applejack and have updated Adobe Flash. Would like to bin all...

Hi, my partner's MacBook (10.4.11, 512Mb RAM) has suddenly (ie yesterday) started to get very sticky on the internet. Firefox produces spinning ball only followed by a crash about 2 mins later. It will come up with the home page readily enough in Safari, but ask it to show new pages in Safari...

The OSX 10.5.5 Software Update won't download or install to my MacBookPro. The error message tells me that it can't be saved and that I 'do not have appropriate access privileges. The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.' The access...

Hello. Does anybody know of any weird Word 'save as' problems arising after applying the 10.5.4 patch on Mac OSX? I've been happily running Word 2004 for Mac (11.3.5) on my MacBook Pro with no problems until this week. Suddenly the 'save as' function in the drop down menu has defaulted to 'save...

Hi, I've been happily running Word 2004 for Mac (11.3.5) on my MacBook Pro with no problems until this week. Suddenly the 'save as' function in the drop down menu has defaulted to 'save as web page'. The previous (normal) 'save as' option has vanished. The Save section in Word Preferences...

Software Update keeps telling me to install Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 and MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5 on my almost new MacBook Pro - three times so far. I've done it the first two times, but it's still bugging me with it. The description of the updates is as follows: This MacBook...

Why do the icons for the documents I create in Word, InDesign etc 'grey out' about a second after they come up on screen or after I open a folder? Same when they're in the Downloads stack. They just show up as 'DOC' icons, sometimes with a rendition of dummy copy on the icon, other times not...

Hello, new member, hope you can help. I've just bought an iPod Shuffle (1gig) off ebay and it won't appear on the desktop of my MacBook Pro (couple of months old, running Leopard 10.5.2). I plugged it into my partner's non-Leopard MacBook and our daughter's old iMac, it showed on their desktops...
