I spent hours on web sites looking for advice clean my iMac - they were all dead ends.  I send a question to this 'Community' first, but must have done it badly because there was no trace of it.  I now have the beach on this computer ball effect.  Are there places I can delete cookies etc to help out?  Thank you for your help.

Don't know what's happening, you do not give a lot of information, but if you have the constant beachballing (spinning wait cursor), which could mean that the hard drive is dying.

Open Console.app in Applications > utilities. Filter, called "String Matching," right, high enter "I/o" without the quotes. What happens when you do this?

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    The COA sticker with the product key is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

  • Mid-stop import iPhoto because "there was a problem downloading, one of the photos?

    I tried to import the 7000 + pictures on my phone to my macbook like 10 times but every time it stopped at halfway and stated that it cannot be completed because there was a problem of downloading an image. I then tried to import the first two hundred or two and he did the same thing. Then I imported the fifty first, and they've been through. So I continued past by fifty until I couldn't and tried to figure out if there was a photo or an image type (forfeiture slow-mo, time, etc.) who could not go to iPhoto (I don't know if it's one thing, I didn't know what it could be). So there was a slow mo video in a bunch and I deleted it but it still does not work and so now I do not know what that prevents my phone to import. If anyone knows, please help! I have more storage on my phone and desperately need these photos out (but remove them is not an option, I already went through and deleted screenshots and other things I don't want / need). Please please please give suggestions!

    Can you get the material with the Image Capture (in the Applications folder)?

    Impossible to clean deleted files:

    The specified virtual disk needs to be repaired.

    It's the performance of FreeBSD. The server has no harm actually run but gets big enough and I would like to clean it up a bit. Any suggestions?

    Firstly it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway...  Always back up all of the Virtual Machine with the Virtual Machine within the OS, not suspended, and Fusion to stop closed before trying to make repairs on a virtual hard disk.

    This may not work if it's the basic disk that needs to be repaired and the Virtual Machine has snapshots, but I go through it.  You can try to use "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-vdiskmanager ' with the '-r' option.  Note: If the basic disk do not while snapshots are at stake, because it will cause more problems so my suggestion is first try to create a new basic without snapshots disk using the information below (see another option).

    Also one of the reasons to delete a snapshot may fail if there is no adequate free disk space for the operation ends so make sure you have a lot of free disk space.

    Another option would be to create a new basic disk, and then use dd by using an Image of CD/DVD/ISO Linux Live in the image of the old drive so written delta in snapshots to a new basic disk.

    I like to use the ISO Image of KNOPPIX_V5.1.1CD - 2007-01-04 - IN .iso to start the Virtual Machine and use dd to leave because it works well with VMware SCSI virtual hard disks.

    Also in Fusion 2.x, configuration the target Virtual Machine's .vmx file must be changed manually to have the present following parameters when using Knoppix.

    usb:0.deviceType = "mouse"
    usb:0.present = "FALSE"
    mouse.vusb.enable = "FALSE"
    

    Note: The first two parameters may already exist but if the other exists and is set to true, then set it to FALSE and the third are probably already so just add it.

    Hi all

    looking for advice to update for my 2 year old want 700-230ea descktop

    thought in the following way

    Replace the boot wth drive a fast SSD

    Doubling of the Ram of 16 MB to 32 MB

    Add a better graphics card.

    Just struggling to find compatibel points, so everyone has any idea, what type of memory should I watch so that its compatibility with the existing 2, 8 meg sticks

    SSDS seem to be a source of confusion that mine field that I should look for use as boot drive.

    Graphics card will be limited to what the power supply can turn off, someone knows what it supports current graphics cards go.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    @Paul80, welcome to the forum.

    Here's memory and SSD who are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  You have to open the case and check of installed memory brand.  Then contact the Crucial Tech Support to see if their memory will be compatible.  The main problem with the addition of memory, it's buy the memory that is compatible with existing modules.

    The best way to install the SSD, it's letting the existing connected HARD disk as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the cloning software that you will use on the HARD drive.  Open and select the SSD as target disk.  Once the SSD is cloned, disconnect the HARD drive and start.  The start of shoul for the SSD system.

    As for a video, here is a card that has very good reviews.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  It should work well with your power supply unit (PSU).

My laptop was stolen, but I have the Windows 7 product key.  Can I disable Win 7 for this laptop so they can not use it?  I don't want to transfer the product key on another computer, nor am I asking questions on the follow-up to the computer I bought a computer brand new with a perfectly good copy of win 7. I just need to disable the old key so that they get the Windows 7 is not geniune message and can not get updates.  Furthermore, I have a proof of purchase (original receipt from reception and cc) and entered it in the original box.

    IM NOT ASKING IF I TRANSFER PRODUCT KEY ON ANOTHER COMPUTER!

    IM WONDERING NOT IF I CAN FOLLOW USING THE COMPUTER WIN 7 PRODUCT KEY!

    If you know the correct product key, you can block the user in use- but it won't stop them reformatting and reinstalling using recovery disks from the manufacturer to reinstall using the OEM_SLP key - and it would also prevent your use your laptop must be returned.

    You must contact one of the centers of activation and inform them of the keys and the circumstances.

    They will then issue a global block on the key (which can take a long time) which will result in any attempt to validate or activate any system with this key, which gives a non-genuine message on the desktop - it will NOT prevent the use of the system, and it will NOT stop the user both take steps to steal the data and/or reformatting/reinstall.

    Also note that the key on the COA sticker on the case of the machine is not normally the one in use,- and if the key OEM_SLP is still in use, MS can take no action at all, as thousands of others would be affected.
