  There is a problem with your installation of OS X. The easiest way, but not the fastest way to fix it is to reinstall the operating system. Unless you are in a hurry or have measured access to the network, it is what I suggest, especially since I don't know if there are any problems with the installation. Please backup all data before reinstalling. You won't need the backup unless something is wrong.

  The below, advanced shortcut if it works, can save you some downtime (and the cost of a download of several gigabyte, if necessary.)

  1 back up all data.

  2. disconnect all external storage devices.

  3. start in recovery mode. Select a language, if you are prompted. The OS X Utilities appears. One of the options is to install OS X. This is not what you do.

  4. This step is only necessary if you use FileVault 2. If you don't know what's FileVault, you use it. Go to the next step. Otherwise, launch utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Select open in the file menu and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

  5. Select get online help. Safari will launch. While in recovery, you will have no access to your Favorites, but you won't need them. Load this web page.

  6. triple - click anywhere in the line below to select this option:

  chflags -R norestricted /V*/*/S*/*/Caches

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  7. Quit Safari. You go back to the OS X Utilities screen.

  In the menu bar, select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  Launch the Terminal application. Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination.

  Wait for a new line ending with a number sign (#) to appear. Quit the Terminal must be returned to the main screen.

  8. Select

  ▹ Restart 

  in the menu bar.

  9. This step must be performed after the restart, and while you are logged as administrator, not in recovery mode. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Select and copy this line as in step 6:

  sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache

  Paste in a Terminal as before. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

  If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and repeat this step. You don't have to repeat the previous steps.

  Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered.

  10. make as in step 9 with this line:

  sudo /usr/libexec/*/app_sandbox_cache_builder --rebuild-cache

  You can then quit Terminal.

• I upgraded to MacOS Sierra recently, since then, my Mac Mini needs to strat befor 5 times actually implemented, why?

  Mac Mini (mid-2011), 2.5 GHz mid-range Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 256 GB Solid State Drive Storage

• Update of El Capitan 1.0 recovery and Word for Mac 2011

  I installed the update of El Capitan 1.0 recovery on December 26.  Now does not load Word for Mac 2011.

  PowerPoint and Excel are very good.  But the Word does not load.

  I have OSX 10.11.2 and an iMac of mid-2011.  PowerPoint for Mac version 14.5.9.  Cannot open

  Word cannot not so tell what version I have.

  Curiously, Word was working fine until the Update December 26.

  No problem here with Word. You may need to remove all of Office 2011 and reinstall. But whatever problem you're having with Word, it is not related to OS X, or updates.

• I updated my drivers and now my computer runs very slowly. How to solve the problem?

  I've recently updated my Intel graphics driver and my drivers Nvidia because they were terribly outdated. As a result, I am able to run some games that I couldn't run before, but my computer became very slow. Now, the startup time is significantly slower, and the worst part is that the actual performance of the system is slower. I checked in the Task Manager, and my physical memory constantly rotates between 40 and 60% (I have 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7) without any game or program being open, except the web browser and Skype.

  What is perhaps the reason for this problem? Is certainly the problem in the drivers? How to solve the problem?

  "My graphics card is GEFORCE GTX 660 M. Is it compatible with the latest driver? »

  Ah! A laptop computer. With laptops, it is generally better to download the driver from the mfg, not Nvidia.

  This is because the computer laptop mfg bring changes that can make the improper generic Nvidia driver.

  and while I always count should not slow down the system... You never know.

  "What services I need to run.

  
  Just to keep the correct terminology-

  Services is the area where you stopped the service of bitlocker.

  The start is where you keep things from loading when you start in Windows.

  -Most of the time what's in Startup deactivation is something personal need, but there are some things that

  I must be on the left.

  I leave the Intel common user interfaceand Installshield update service, mainly because I don't bother

  Discover what they are doing.

  I also let anti-virus, Realtek audio, software profile keyboard and a few other things active.

  I don't have Adobe Flash loading with Windows, but I don't use it a lot, and when I do the software that

  uses it it launches automatically.

  The bottom line here is that if you have software that you use all the time, it is more convenient to have it start with

  Windows.

  -Concerning the Services. This also has to do with personal preferences to a certain extent, but most things can be left alone.

  I do not use the Services tab in the Configuration of the system, because I think it's only a one time adjustment.

  (Clean boot, linked earlier, is the best tool for the verification of conflicts with Services)

  To stop or disable a Service manually, tap - services.msc - in the run command to open

  the main window of Services.

  There is an Adobe Flash update in Services that should be kept, but when Adobe makes an update

  I select the option notify me, but not to install it automatically.

  I always preferred this with any updates, including Windows updates as there is less chance of a corrupt

  Update If you're aware, it happens and do not do something intensive system while the update is being installed, particularly when an update requires a restart to complete.

  -Registry. In the control run, type - regedit - and browse the registry with the file path in the

  previous post and follow the instructions. You can save the key you are modify if you wish, that the use of the

  backup to change the value to what is current would be faster than navigating to the key again.

  -When playing around with things you are not familiar with creating a System Restore point before you

  making these changes is a good insurance policy.

  If you don't know how to create a system restore point - time to do some research.

  In fact, all of the above is covered by tons of tutorials out there in the www.

  SSD vs HDD - the specifications of the system for you the machine should be in your user manual or on the

  MFG web site.

  Prefetch is useful with HARD drive, because it improves performance somewhat, but read-ahead is not really necessary with SSD.

  and can reduce the life expectancy SSD a bit (there is debate on gravity)

  More research for more details. D

  -If you use a HARD disk and that you have enabled Prefetch, the Prefetch will be rebuilt over time, if you delete the files.

  -Here's another tip for when you are not sure of the impact of deleting files.

  Rename file/folder. You can do something like add another couple of P to the front, or a 1a which will move

  the file to the top of the window. If nothing is wrong in the next few days, you can delete the folder.

  This method protects to empty the trash accidentally and lose the file/folder.

  -Speaking of deleting the file. A great TEMP folder can slow things way down.

  Run Windows, Disk Cleanup . This will remove many files in the Temp folder.

  Or, for a full, clean, go to the - your User\AppData\Local\Temp

  Open the Temp folder and delete anything that can be deleted (impossible to delete the files that are used).

  -Defragment your HARD drive

  -Run the Zig - zag Kit you'd use again and analyze the results.

  It was a long, huh!

• Firefox runs very slowly after updating Windows 10

  Saturday, December 12, 10 Windows spent an age of update itself, with several reboots. Since then, the navigation is horribly slow with Firefox, although my internet connection is always very well (fast my Smartphone using Microsoft Edge). I have two PCs, and both seem to have been affected in the same way. Using the Task Manager, I see that Firefox uses a lot of CPU most of the time - often more than 50%. Even typing and scrolling are very slow, not just downloading.
  I disabled all my add-ins and plug-ins, run in safe mode, rebooted and reinstalled Firefox without result. So far, I'd say that Firefox is the fastest browser. I think that Firefox updated itself 42.0 version a few days, so I have a suspect that this slowdown has occurred just after a Windows Update.

  Update: Windows update itself again today and, like magic, Firefox is again well. So problem solved.

• More recent Adobe flash is causing my browser to lock up & system to freeze or run very slowly

  I recently had to reinstall Windows after a system crash. I reinstalled Adobe products on their website shortly after. Now, whenever I go some web pages I get a message at the top of my screen that says (something like) "this webpage requires Adobe flash installed. Click here to install Adobe flash. But Adobe flash is already installed!

  Initially when I got this message I would receive the pop-up box Adobe and reinstall flash. But then the same thing could happen as soon as I visited another page and once again when I visited the next page, and so on. Now whenever I get the message along the top of the screen, nothing happens at all. The entire computer freezes simply upward and the page refuses to close. It may take a number of tests by pressing ctrl-Alt-Esc to finally get the release page. Sometimes, the system runs very slow after that and I have to restart.

  It doesn't seem to be any virus causing this, I scanned the computer completely. I also uninstalled Adobe flash and reinstalled several times but no difference. I finally got so desperate that I deleted each fragment of file and registry relating to Adobe. Then rebooted and reinstalled, but the same problem came back. Is this a problem with my setup or is the problem with the latest version of Adobe? I've never had this problem before. I drew a complete blank with that. At the present time I uninstalled Adobe flash and can at least use some web pages without experiencing a system total oneself.

  I really need an answer on what it is very frustrating and consuming a lot of my time.

  Do you have something like GetPlus in Add/Remove programs or the Adobe Download Manager?  If so, please uninstall it.

  Then download the installation (for Internet Explorer) http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exeexecutable; This record, and then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

  After you have done this, you can see the Flash animation to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?

• Safari and App Store are not open. Recently updated to El Capitan 10.11.4

  Safari and App Store are not open. Safari icon will bounce back and not open. App Store comes up with "App Store close unexpectedly"

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

• I recently updated my computer (the thing has changed since the problem) and now my LAN is enabled at startup, even if I turn it off before you stop. Why? And how can I stop this?

  Since my last update, that is the only thing changed on my computer since it began, my lan port is always on at the start of Vista (Ultimate).   I'm on a laptop that has a LAN on board.  I have not had this problem NEVER before and have owned the laptop for about two years now.    The only thing that has changed on the computer's windows updates.

  I spent the length of a deactivation of the adapter before you turn off the laptop and tried to load a page that is not in the temporary memory, and get the usual page cannot be displayed.  I scanned for virus using AVG and Bell Internet Security scanner online McAfee.   I also ran Windows MSRT and found nothing unusual.   I also checked to see if the BIOS has been changed somehow, and nothing has changed.   Boot to LAN is disabled.   So I can only conclude that I have a virus has not been detected (but have no slowdowns or anything different in the security under gpedit.msc logs), or the more recent Windows Update changed some settings.

  But weak and this is every time I start up the computer from the local network is enabled.   If I let the cable disconnected at startup, it does not reconnect to the modem cable after rehabilitation and I have to disable and then re-enable the LAN to access the internet.

  Please let me know if anyone else has this problem or have heard of this and know a solution.

  Thank you.

  Hi Lequarius,

  ·          You receive an error message when you restart?

  Method 1

  I suggest that you download and install the updated drivers for the network adapter on the computer by visiting the card manufacturer or computer manufacturer website manually.

  Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

  If the previous step fails then I would suggest that temporary you disable the security software installed on the computer and check if the problem persists.
