Given upgrade iMac 2007 at El Capitan, but the question...
Mavericks is installed now but lately, I get a lot of beach ball, everything seems much slower. I ran be and here is the report. Any suggestions as to what to do next would be appreciated. I wonder if this computer would be OK with El Capitan. Perhaps it might speed things up? Or should I just do a clean install of Mavericks?

I would remove Sophos and possibly clean MYMAC (do you really need it?).
And I would test El Capitan, put it on a FW800 external drive.

Site tested very well, but the questions now he went 'live '.
OK, so I finally finished a site for a friend, and it tested fine - everything worked when I handed him the working folder.
But, now that he has downloaded on his ftp, it is 1.) an image that does not load in a slideshow and 2.) the video does not load (the jpg door-place UI placed above the flv container does not even load).
In addition, there is a strange dotted around the perimeter of the swf file that wasn't there when I tested the site.
I use Safari at home, and it's the browser that it tested on the property. I am on explore here at my work, and I see problems with the site. But I don't know if it's a browser thing, as my friend also tested on Safari in front of his computer and the problems exist with this as well.
Any ideas on how to address these anomalies would be greatly appreciated.
With regard to the .jpg in space booked you... What is it?, why use it? and where in your embed code you even ask to be displayed?
If you are trying to display in browsers without the Flash plugin... it's anywhere in your code. Instead, it's what's there:
http://www.Adobe.com/go/getflash"> http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt = "Get Adobe Flash player" / >This page requires Flash Player version 10.1.0 or greater.
and the Adobe image and message displayed very well.
To check that your self, not to turn off your Flash Player... go into the menu of your Web browser... Tools/Manage Add ons or just Add ons... According to the browser... disable the update Shockwave Flash Player (add-on) to your page... Flash is not displayed, but the image of Adobe and the message will be.
Therefore, if you try to view a content for viewers not Flash, replace the content in
with your content... your image of space reserved or other.But just by using a simple image and the message 'download Flash here' is a HUGE waste of time... most of the viewers will not download Flash just because you tell them to.
Use rather than "alternative content" for descriptive paragraphs about your business. That your site is now, almost ALL of your content is completely invisible to the search engines.
Just a little review on the use of .swfobject to improve search engine optimization:
If you think that Flash is a bit bad for SEO, it's time to dispel this MYTH!
If, in certain circumstances, I'll use Flash instead of just HTML, because then I'll have better SEO than with just one HTML.http://www.worldbarefootcenter.com/
World Barefoot Center link in the post above is an example. View the source code and you see a few paragraphs of the text as well as the normal HTML links... but what is displayed is the version the image Flash and Flash links.
The customer has provided work for the page... and that's what they wanted to use a .jpg image. Well Yes, that could be done in HTML, but it would be virtually invisible to Google. So instead I turned the image into a Flash .swf and used swfobject to display the Flash. SWFObject allows you to create an alternative content inside of thethat also holds the Flash .swf, then when the page is loaded, it detects if the browser has the Flash Player. If so, it just displays the Flash content, otherwise it displays the replacement content. Given that almost everyone has the Flash Player, for most people the Flash version of thewill be displayed.
Alternative content for whichcan be any text ordinary HTML, images, multimedia, links, etc., everything that you would use if you were not using the Flash. Now, the best part is that the replacement content can be "over the top" in what concerns the optimization for SEO, because we won't see most of the viewers.
Here's another example of SEO with Flash... once again, the page is just a single image provided by the customer:
http://www.ksowetsuits.com/
View the source code. The alt content is paragraph after paragraph of information on the site, including lists and links. If it was just the HTML code, it might be kind of a boring home page. But for SEO, I can go "over the top" in the promotion of the site, given that most viewers will never see that part... but it's all indexed by search engines. The end result is BETTER referencing using Flash than just HTML.
On another Web site, a Flash video is displayed, the alt content is the narration of the full text of the video. Now how many people take the time to read that if they could just watch the video instead? better yet, SEO with Flash than without. In fact in one case we had the first page of this narrative video search result within 4 hours of the display of the page.
Another site with a Flash video, the alt content is another video, but a .mov version, which will be, indeed playing Flash video on the iPhone (not possible you say?). Well, since the iPhone doesn't have Flash Player, it just displays the video .mov version, while everyione else sees it the Flash version.
Anyway, if the Flash is part of your Web development, you should look into using swfobject and content alternative.

Since the upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan, my life is a misery! I use the software Adobe CC - well, I DID it! Nothing works anymore. I have to Forcequit all apps and nothing loads... anyone?
I have all the latest upgrades.
My operating system is El Capitan 10.11.3
I have Adobe CC 2015 Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. None of them will launch, open or close.
My mac is so slooooowwww. I'm sitting for 3 days I look at a spinning wheel. Can anyone help? My roof looks inviting at the moment!
running CC2015 10.11 and it is compatible with El Capitan, so the question is what else is on your system that may be the cause of the problem:
Please run a report of etrececk and post the results here
This will give us one overview of what else is running on your system
If you are currently using any anti-virus Mac you must uninstall it immediately from your system. See web developers page for instructions
If you currently use one "own my ' or 'custodian' of products you must remove them from your system immediately.
Restart and reset the PRAM

and in the meantime if you need to use CC I suggest you try the following
start in safe mode and run CC
Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support
or Create a NEW account administration and the boot into that and run CC
and see if either of these procedures to help.
and if you must go on your roof with a lounge chair, some Bob Marley albums, not a note.

I export a DNG from Lightroom on my iMac (OSx 10.11.2) but the thumbnail in os x Finder still shows the unmodified image. How can I update the thumbnail?
Export to DNG will always export a unretouched photo non-modified. Your changes are in the XMP of DNG file as text, and most of the viewers of DNG files cannot interpret or use this text. So, it seems that when you export photos in DNG, Lightroom has done what it is supposed to do.

I have a Sony Vaio laptop connected to a stand alone monitor. I don't use the laptop screen unless there is a problem and then I had to alternate between the two screens using Fn F7 key.
A problem has occurred with the rundll32 process (which I'm trying to fix separately) and this led to the PC automatically flicking between screens and then stick with the independent monitor but in low resolution (so I couldn't access the tool bar along the bottom).
I went to control panel to change the resolution to high, but the question of rundll32 kept close the process.
This left me with icons on the desktop of the monitor stand alone, a white color on the laptop screen (it is normally black) and the ease of Fn F7 does not (said the service is not available).
When I click on Control Panel on the screen of stand alone, it opens on the screen of the laptop, but I can't access it because the function of the mouse is on the screen to stand alone.
Can someone help before I go out drinking?
Thanks, Temp.
I seem to have solved the problem. It seems that display order has been reversed and so I just had to move the mouse to the right of the screen to stand alone (I had been pushing against the left hand side) to move on the screen of the laptop. From there on, I played a bit with the display settings in the control panel and, although the issue of the always kept dllrun32 throw me out, seems to be back on the screen of stand-alone only, with the correct resolution and the Fn f7 works again. This means I can put the top back on bottle of vodka, at least until the next issue of dllrun32 arises.

I want to create a unique page layout that scrolls down, but the questions that I have are these:
(1) navigation widget don't allow me to add sections extra such as about me, contact me, etc. unless I have create or add additional pages, but I don't want to only a single page several pages. How can I get around this?
(2) when I create anchor points, it allows me to add a hyperlink to a reason any? If I want the site to do scroll down to contact me, I create the anchor point, and then I click the tag navigation, about me and tie under the section of the hyper link, but it does not appear or is grayed out.
Any help on this would be helpful.
Thank you
Adolfo
Using the method of anchorage is correct. Just make sure that your Type of Menu is set to "manual".

Hello, anyone have any experience to try a plan after a trial, but the site is not opening after clicking on buy...
It was useful, now everything works fine!
Felsherif December 23, 2013 right answer 12:51 AM
I had a long discussion with a Support Agent and finally solved my problem in activating my root user... after a lot of trial and error/attemtpts. Here is my summary just fyi, I hope this works for you also.
I'm on MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.5.
- They had me first go to ~/Library/Applications support/Adobe/OOBE and delete the file 'opm.db '... Creative cloud question remained.
- Then they asked me to go to support/Adobe ~/Library/Applications and rename the files "AAMUpdater" and "OOBE"... and go to the library/application support/Adobe (note this is a different path) and remane the files "AAMupdater" and "AAMupadaterInventory"... question remained.
- They had me also go to my Netwrok Prefrences, Proxy server to configure, and enusre all boxes are unchecked and "use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" also unchecked... did not help, the question remained.
- Of course they had me uninstall and then reinstall the creative cloud application, which I did (Applications > utilities > Adobe installer and run the "uninstall Creative Cloud")... but the question remianed.
- Finally, they had me to visit this page on the Apple support page, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 and activated the user root for OS X Lion.
- After allowing the root user (and create a new password for it), I rebooted my Mac
- Saved in my Mac once as 'root' and connected to Adobe Creative Cloud using my usual Adobe user/email name and password.
- Go to the 'Applications' tab, and it worked perfectly!
- I disconnected the root on my Mac, then that reconnected me.
- Launched the creative application of Cloud, connected and went to 'Apps'... works great!

Try to upgrade OS 10.6.8 to El Capitan on iMac. But the FREE update tells me it can not install but will not say why even when I click on learn more. Suggestions? Help? Appreciate the assistance.
More details on the iMac you have and how much RAM is installed would certainly contribute to answering your question.

I have a late 2009 iMac. When I tried to upgrade to El Capitan. He said that the CHIP shows the h/d is a failure and can not be updated. I have install an external withEl of h/d Cap but it is very slow. the h/d is USB 3 but the iMac's USB 2. the h/d is only 5400 RPM. a 7200 RPM 7 / would accelerate the iMac?
No, because the limiting factor is the computer is USB 2.0, which is how it connects any external drive apart the external drive. As USB 2.0 is much slower, there is no real advantage to a 7200 RPM drive. What you need is a Firewire enclosure that supports FW800 which is much faster than USB 2.0.

I have an iMac 2007 mid running osx 10.6 with 4 GB of Ram. I want to upgrade to the Mavericks, 10.9. I don't have the installation CD and the App store only allow me to upgrade El Capitan. I'm afraid that this will bring my iMac to a crawl. Any thoughts on how I can find an installation CD or recommend other methods to achieve this?
Thank you
Larry
Your model is eligible? You can install El Capitan now. There is no disk installer for use with OS X since the release of Snow Leopard. Why do you believe that El Capitan will bring your computer to a crawl, but the Mavericks will not?
If I were you I would stick with Snow Leopard, because it is more suitable for your old hardware. Note that Snow Leopard is needed in order to upgrade to Lion or later version.
Upgrade to Snow Leopard
You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.
After the installation of Snow Leopard you will need to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update v1.1 update Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store lets you download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
General requirements for Snow Leopard
1. equipped mac to an Intel processor
2. the 1 GB memory
3. 5 GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
charges may apply.
6. some features require Apple iCloud services; fees and
conditions apply.
Upgrade to El Capitan
You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.
Upgrade to El Capitan
To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan
1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later
2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version
4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later
5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version
6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version
7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version
To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.
My applications are compatible?
