• Mac pro (early 2008) suddenly doesn't recognize RAM

  Model: Mac Pro (early 2008), 2 x Quad Core Intel Xeon 3.2, 20 GB (should have been 24Go - only recently realized that Genius bar replaced RAM they lost with bad spec, so we have to work outside 20 GB for now), NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB, startup disk 500 GB SSD, 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM, 2 TB SATA 72 RPM.

  O/S: Yosemite, 10.10.5 (14F1509) (to date). Waiting for the seeds with Adobe in El Capitan to be ironed out before the upgrade.

  Background: Mac runs slowly, and the fan is constantly on high even if Mac is not that much. Checked, only 16Gb 20 Gb showing, which then deteriorated to 12 and finally 8 GB of RAM.

  Checks / actions so far:

  -C' IS good RAM for this machine, IE 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, provided by Apple.

  -All the RAM recognized before (he's been there more than a year and the last time I looked, it was see 20 GB, which is what is inside).

  -DIMM is properly matched on boards.

  -Boards are fully seated in the riser.

  N ' had not moved machine or s/w recently updated.

  -Removed and replaced DIMM, which dumped first tips of handling static etc. carefully according to the instructions from Apple. This resulted in reduction of recognized with 12 GB of RAM.

  -Again re-allocation of places 2nd; It resulted that 8 GB being recognized.

  -Same report (8 GB) I look under > memory or under Activity Monitor > memory

  -No obvious problem with DIMMs or connectors; No dust, scratches or crud.

  -Replace the LANDAU and SMC

  Now at the end of the straps with a job to get out (and Lightroom being a bigger dog than usual with only 8 GB of RAM. I read all the posts I can find on this point, can't find anything I did not... Ideas please people?

  The FBDIMM used in these Macs run hot and die. You did probably nothing wrong, and there is none of the extrinsic factors that prevent your RAM from functioning. DIMMs indicate does not are diagnosed properly - they're dead.

  You can buy more if you want to run more.

  Make sure that you buy DIMM modules with the huge heat sinks and Apple has approved the temperature probe, or they will die sooner.

  As a preventive measure, you can use a third-party program to modestly increase the fan speed.

• How do we treat security Mac poppings

  Hi, there, my brother Mac went wrong, how to fix? his poppings him held outside of his normal method now.
  all the tips, thx.

  Howdy, Elvir here.
  Mac security is often a dotted spyware Trojan, codec and HDTV player support software and so on. Mac security is enabled once the Mac is started and can start a scanning program.

• HP Envy 100 D410a can't see mac apple printer so don't scan at him

  I installed the software from the disc supplied and all functions of work outside the mac function analysis. He couldn't get any computer to scan to. I use a wireless through a router connection cable Netgear WGR614. My mac is a Mac OS 10.6.6 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM.

  I followed the HP Web site suggestions and uninstalled the HP, dumped preferences software, repair disk permissions and reinstalled the correct software from the Web site. I also got an update from HP printer via the software update later and gave the mac and printer an IP address manually.

  The scan-back function found my mac but the software scan-back on the mac went into a loop, and I had to force quit. I decided to reboot the wireless router, the mac and the printer but the printer is returned to a State where he could not find the mac.

  Discussion on the HP site suggests that PCs must be set to "Enable analysis for computer" whenever they are turned on or awakened from his sleep. It notes, however, that it is not necessary for macs, that it happens automatically.

  Please can someone help? Thank you very much.

  Hi Randy.

  Thank you very much for your advice.

  I followed the road of:

  Full CV uninstall-> restart mac-> add a printer in the preferences and download the latest Apple HP drivers for 10.6-> complete HP drivers from the HP website.

  The scan for mac worked worked the first time.

  Amazing it is really as simple as the order in which the different drivers are installed. Sounds simple in hindsight, but there was no way to guess that at time of initial installation.

  I am very grateful to you - it was driving me crazy!

• How to install Photoshop Elements 4.0 from my Mac to my PC?

  In 2008, I installed Photoshop Elements 4.0 on my Mac - if I remember correctly, it was a gift, and I install from a CD.  My Mac went from kaput.  I got all of it.  I now have a PC.  I would use my Photoshop Elements on the PC.  How can I install on my PC?  It appears in my Adobe ID account as a registered product, but it does not appear in the section my orders, so it doesn't seem like I can download it again.  Help, please!  I love this program!

• Computer running very slow for macOS

  Since I've upgraded to Mac OS this morning, my computer barely works.  I frequently get beach balls, and even simple tasks take minutes where they used to take seconds.

  It's an iMac of 2011 with 4 GB of memory.

  Try each of them in order. A test to see if the computer works properly:

  1. Reset the PRAM
  2. Reset the controller (SMC) system management

• macOS Sierra will not be closed if the trackpad and keyboard wireless is connected

  Hi, after switching to macOS Sierra, the first time that I stop my MacBook Pro, it is stuck on the dark screen with the spinning ball. I had to force him to stop by the power button. The next same thing occurs. After looking in the console log, I noticed something related to bluetooth and I discovered that my wireless keyboard and trackpad are both connected (usually, I work with my MacBook Pro on a stand and I use the wireless keyboard and the trackpad). I unplugged the bluetooth and Mac went off smoothly. Did someone else experienced this problem? And does anyone have and idea about it? With El Capitan I could turn off the mac no matter what was connected...

  Thank you.

  I try to remove the two devices in preferences Bluetooth, then re - match.

  I use them with a MacBook Pro, but I use Trackpad and keyboard with a Mini and not have not had any problems.

• Reinstall 10.7.5 to help performance

  Late 2009 iMac 10.6.1 when new, now running 10.7.5 with 8 GB of memory and 2 TB of disk running

  My Mac worked slowly for a while. Check memory, CPU etc. in the activity monitor shows no reason for this.

  I want to reinstall the OS X 10.7.5 menu utilities in OS X, but I have no USB or disk with 10.7 on it.

  Given a stage to try and BONE cleaning is to wipe the drive, then I suppose I'll have 10.7 on some media.

  I believe that the steps would be:

  1. all save, deauthorise apps

  2 restart the Mac in recovery mode

  3 erase/format the disc extended journaled format

  4 reinstall OS X

  Who would bring back me to 10.6.1 that came with the Mac, so I have to upgrade to 10.6.8 then 10.7 as soon as I got it on a media, and then work my back to 10.7.5

  So, how I 10.7 or y at - it an easier way to get my Mac running as it was when new?

  Thank you.

  Frank.

  With 8 GB of memory and a HD 2 to (assuming that it has enough free space available on it) and your Mac must perform well. Mac in general do not need 'clean up', but they have a third-party software installed that can cause performance problems. Before you go to the backup, erase, re - install, upgrade to Lion road you can download and run EtreCheck and post the contents of his report here.

• Delay MBP to POWER IT and FREZZING

  Guys,

  After trying to update to OS X El Captain 10.11.4, my machine does not start correctly.

  First issue was a delay in market and show me the login window. This delay is about 30-40 minutes on the gray screen with the Apple Logo and a bar of full load with no reaction.

  After this time-out, I can connect, but every time I click or type, range of Mac balling and freezing of 10-20 seconds.

  THINGS, I TRIED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM:

  -Apple Hardware Test: Everything ok;

  -First aid and check the disk permissions: everything ok;

  -Tried to reinstall via MAS OS but with this gel, it was not possible. So, I pulled out my SSD to my machine, put it on the HD USB box, plugged into an another MacBook, download OS X El Captain, installed a clear BONE in my SSD via the USB port. About installed, I checked if it worked well. Started this machine of my SSD and all the good things. Recover from the SSD on my machine and the PROBLEMS CONTINUE to OCCUR.

  -LANDAU/SMC reset several times start normally (1 minute) my machine, but using these tools is not health and comfortable;

  -Anyway, with my camera of freezing, I installed Clean My Mac 3 and can't find any problems. Also use a tool called EtreCheck, which show me mac run slowly but say exactly what kind of problems I had.

  -Maybe I forgot one other things that I tried to solve this problem, but I need help.

  So, I have a MacBook Pro (13 ", beginning 2011, model A1278) with upgrade memory up to 8 GB and change the main drive to an SSD.

  I also put my original drive as a second drive in place of the CD player.
