  Restart your computer normally and see if it helped at all. Then do little maintenance:

  For disk utility can't handle situations, the best third party is Disk Warriorutility;  Fixed DW only for problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by the corruption of directory; Warrior drive 4.x is now compatible with Intel Mac.

  Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will boot Mac running Snow Leopard or earlier. He cannot start Mac that came with Lion or later preinstalled, however, DW will work on these models.

  Suggestions for OS X maintenance

  OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are supposed to take place on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Maintenance scripts that are run at the beginning AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep). If this isn't the case, then a great solution is to download and install a shareware like Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacronor Anacron utility that will automate the maintenance regardless of whether activity if the computer is off or asleep.  Dependence on third-party utilities to run periodic maintenance scripts has been significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have little or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later version, and must not be installed.

  OS X automatically defrags files smaller than 20 MB in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files it little need to defragment the hard drive.

  Under no circumstances should you install operating MacPaw or ZeoBit software (CleanMyMac/CleanMyDrive or Mac Keeper, respectively.) You don't need special software to keep your computer.

  Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

  The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

  Difficulty a few pop ups browser that supported Safari

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

  An excellent link to read is Tom Reed Mac Guide of malicious programs.

  If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.)

  The user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:

  The facts are:

  1. There is no anti-malware software can detect 100% of malware out there.

  2. There is no anti-malware that can detect all targeting the Mac.

  3. the best way to prevent breaches the most is for you as the user is aware that

  the most successful malware attacks rely on sophisticated social engineering

  techniques preying on human greed, * and fear.

  4 Internet pop-up windows telling the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on

  your computer is designed to trick you into installing their malware thinking it's a

  protection against malware.

  5. some of the anti-malware market products are worse than malware

  go where they are supposed to protect you.

  6. be careful where you go on the internet.

  7. don't download anything from sites, you know are safe.

  8 avoid links that you receive in email, always be wary, even if you get something

  you think a friend is, but that you did not expect.

  9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume that it is malware.

  Troubleshooting Applications

  I recommend that you download a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaneror hiding a Cocktail that you can use to delete the former newspapers and archives, cleaning, etc. Corrupted cache, logs or temporary files can slow down the application or OS X crashes and panics of the kernel.

  If you have leopard snow or leopard, then for similar repairs install Applejackfreeware utility.  If you do not start in OS X, you can boot into single-user mode , where you can run Applejack to make a set of routines for repair and maintenance of the command line.  Note that it takes 1.5 AppleJack for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later versions.

  Basic backup

  For some people, Time Machine will be more than enough. Time Machine is part of Mac OS X. There are two components:

  1. a panel of Time Machine preferences as part of the system of preferences;

  2. a request for Time Machine, located in the Applications folder. It's

  used to manage backups and restore backups. Time Machine

  requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the

  drive being backed up.

  You can also get an external drive at least equal to the size hard disk internal and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the disk utility's restore option. You can also create and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (the order is not significant):

  1 Carbon Copy clone

  2. get backup

  3 already seen

  4 superDuper!

  5. Synk Pro

  6. Tri-Backup

  Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the backup and restore.  Also read How to back up and restore your files. For using Time Machine, visit FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help with all this time Machine.

  Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate .

  Additional tips

  Make sure you have a sufficient amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run simultaneously. Make sure to leave a minimum of 10% of the capacity of the hard disk as free space.

  Add more RAM. If your computer less than 2 GB of RAM and you use OS X Leopard or later, then you can do it with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion works much better with 4 GB of RAM that is their system. Most concurrent applications, that you tend to use the more RAM you should have.

  Always have at least 15 GB, or 10% of the capacity of your hard disk as free space, the largest. OS X frequently accesses your hard disk, so offering enough free space will keep things slow down.

  Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:

  Before Mavericks

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the drop process .  Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  Mavericks and later versions

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the menu display .  Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  This problem occurs often because of a corrupted cache or the preferences file or an attempt to write in a corrupted log file.

• Photosmart C7280 and Mountain Lion

  My printer is connected wireless to iMac running on Mountain Lion. No particular reason, the computer can not find printer. Tried to delete the printer and reconnect with the IP address, but still no joy. All of the suggestions. I tested the printer and it is very well connected to the network.

  I would try a complete restart of network.

  Unplug the router.

  Press the power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already turned on.

  With the product, unplug the power cord at the back of the printer.

  Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

  Plug the router back in and wait for the lights on it to stabilize.

  Plug the power cord for the printer into the wall outlet.

  Reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer

  If the product does not light by itself, press the power button to turn it on.

  Try and let me know if it helps!

  Good luck

• OfficeJet 6500 and mountain lion

  I installed mountain lion and now my officejet 6500 will not print, or it prints, but after an hour or two after the print job is sent.

  I deleted the driver and reassembled using the apple software update, the problem persists. Any ideas out there?

  Ok

  Try to update the drivers by clicking on the icon Apple and then software update, restart and check any change.

  If there is no change don't try to install the package below:

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/DL907

  If the problem persists, make sure that the USB port used is not longer than 2 m long, with direct links to a MAc and not through a hub USB or extension.

  In case you have an iMac, make sure to plug the USB at the back of the Mac and not in the keyboard port which is not powered.

• Full-screen Fusion VM and Mountain Lion

  After the update to Lion mountains (running Fusion 4.1.3), I was unable to run my Windows 7 VM in full screen mode and use the two forms.

  What seems to happen is that Fusion moves to the main screen to a second space, but the background on the secondary display is the canvas on the second screen.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled VMware tools and tried sharing my primary/secondary displays on Mac OS.

  If I look into the mission control, the secondary display is placed on 1 desktop instead of space that creates the merger.

  

  We are aware of a problem with Mountain Lion full-screen windows on the wrong space and are working on a solution.

  CS4 is compatible with OSX Mountain Lion?

  Thank you

  Hello, Ryan, I googled and found this blog post: 8 http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2012/07/adobe-creative-suite-and-mountain-lion-mac-os-x-10-/ that indicates to avoid any problems. Note that on the record on the network comments on an issue that has been cured by Mountain Lion was last updated.

• How to install CS4 on Mountain Lion successfully?

  When you insert the disc 1 of Adobe CS4 and run the installation program, you will see a gray pop up screen "preparing for setup. Usually after this screen, you get to the selection screen usual what components to install as well as the prompt for the serial number. However, in some machines of Lion and Mountain Lion, CS4 will be glued to the gray screen "preparing for setup" and frozen at the last 7/8 bar. I note a disk partition mounted and disappear, but then again, it was a Lion. Lion mountain just refuse to load the selection screen for the installation.

  Sorry, I know this is an old thread, but I came across the same problem, and my search brought me here. I finally understood the question. If you have tried to install and had the error of the AIR, and that you have downloaded the latest version of AIR as you are prompted to do so, and then you try to run Setup again, it will treat this as a custom installation. You have to scroll down through the programs on the right side of the window and Select the programs you want to install. Deselect Acrobat.com, Adobe AIR and Adobe Media Player (they can be downloaded separately later), but everything else selected, click "install". It will pass through the screen "Preparing for setup"- http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/installation-creative-suite-4-or.html

• How to clear El Cap and return to Mountain Lion

  Hello

  I need to ask for some advice, because Apple computers are still a little clumsy. I have a late 2012 27 "iMac, and I blindly put on day of Mountain Lion to El Capitan. It turns out that it doesn't play well with Pro Tools 11, and Avid has no intention to develop PT11 to do this. So, I would go back to Mountain Lion rather than pay for the upgrade to PT12 right now. But I don't want to spoil, so I need some advice and clarity, please.

  I just finished the Time Machine backup of my system.

  I noticed that in my apps, Mountain Lion is sitting there for download. Should I download as the first, or wait until I do a restore (it will always be there if I erase El Cap?)?

  The most important thing, I said, I have to do a 'CLEAN' of the Mountain Lion INSTALLATION.

  Then, in what order should I do these things? Do the restoration ensures that it is an operation of "cleaning"?

  Any help much appreciated!

  Thank you!

  I am now preparing my old MBP to transmit to my older daughter, I have re-formatted and restarted with command-R, am now downloading and installation of Mountain Lion.

  My question is the following:-what should I do then, to be able to get El-Capitan installed, which after all is the version of Mac OS X had it before as I have re-formatted. ????

  You say to download and install El Capitan by his Apple ID. With the exception of needing to be connected with another Apple ID, the process is the same as that used for update to the original.
