  I have a strange problem with my RAM supported by installers. When I check the activity monitor, 3 installers are open and they start around 80 MB memory RAM used for about 7 or 8 concerts after 10 minutes. I have to force them to quit, but I don't know what I am closing or why they open in the first place. Applications downloaded on iTunes?

  

  In addition, the Console has opened with the same message several times, but I don't know what that means.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  The last is a picture of the Terminal window.

  Just because it lists 'Console' does not mean that it has nothing to do with this application.

  You have not said why or what you're trying to install so I can't help with that.

  You can use the activity monitor to leave their.

  After you select an item, use the X in a type of stop sign icon and confirm force quit.

• off message input signal range by turning on pc - monitor hp s2031

  Hello

  I have a HP S2031's monitor I got a few weeks ago.  After I got a new video / graphics card in the computer (because the original card couldn't handle all around 1600 x 900 (60 Hz) great things.)  However, I just noticed that when I turn on the monitor and the pc - first before windows starts it is a message indicating that the input signal is out of reach of the settings at 1600 x 900 at 60 Hz.

  Now, I don't remember see this message when the original video card was in the pc ~ but I also don't always stay right there while windows starts so I can't say with certainty that the message did not exist with the original video card.

  I go to the menu on the screen section and settings are set for 1600 x 900 at 60 hz and I also right click on the desktop and in the display so that settings can also be programmed correctly it and everything is set correctly.

  This isn't a problem, unless I'm trying to access the bios.    I tried to go into bios to see what kind of options are there for the video configuration and the only options we configuration video AGP Aperture Size (64 MB). Main (AGP) graphics card. AGP hardware detected - AGP card. Only problem was that at the time where I got this far in the bios that the monitor went to sleep on me. which makes it difficult to get out of the bios and boot the computer normally on the monitor going to sleep on me.

  Anyone has an idea as to why I'm getting that message about the input signal and how do I fix as well as how do I stop the monitor going to sleep while I'm in the bios?

  I am running Windows XP Professional with sp3 and all updates and the monitor is the HP S2031.  The graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 and the monitor is connected to the pc with the monitor's DVI port since this card has only 2 ports dvi on it. I had an old card in the pc (which has the VGA port) but he could not show the 1600 x 900 with this card (and I'm not sure that the message was there with the old card, since most of the time that I'm not just sitting there waiting to start everything)

  I didn't notice the message until today and nothing has changed - other than the new video card and who is in the pc for about 2 weeks now.

  Any help would be much appreciate.

  Hello

  Sorry that it took so long to get back to you, but things have been very busy here (between the two to get hit with a foot of snow before Halloween and loss of power for a week still to go back to normal)

  In any case, as for the video card - it is a card ASUS NVidia GeForce FX 5200 which has 2 DVI connectors which him.  According to the information on the map

  

  Expansion / connectivity Compatible Slots 1 x AGP connectivity Interfaces

  1 x S-video input - 4 pin mini-DIN (with adapter), 1 x S-video output - 4pin mini DIN (with adapter), 1 x video composite input - RCA (with adapter), 1 x video output composite - RCA (with adapter), 2 x DVI - I - 29 pin combined DVI, VGA - HD D - Sub (HD-15) 15-pin (with adapter)

  Anyway, I tried to plug the monitor into the other DVI port, and it now works fine.  I guess that a port is bad or it is not intended for making that comes with this monitor.

  Thanks for the help and suggestions.  So they were very much appreciated.

  Avoid using third-party software that claims to clean your computer. This software does more harm than good. In addition, you don't need it. Note that all computers become slower over time even in the normal conditions of use. Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.

  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.

  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.

  Also, visit the FAQ XLab and read of detection and avoid malicious software and spyware.

  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.

• U2713HM - DVI with max resolution 'snow' on the screen

  I bought a refurbished dell decision-making, a few weeks ago U2713HM monitor. It worked very well with a HDMI connection, but I soon discovered maxes out at 1920 x 1080 HDMI. I swapped the cable DVI - D my second monitor (Dell 2208WFP), which worked well on this screen. When I put the resolution on 27 2560 x 1440 maximum resolution, the entire screen fills with snow. This occurs at any resolution above 1920 x 1080. I tried to take a screen shot to illustrate, but the screenshot appears normally!

  The video card is a nVidia with 2 GB of memory, 760GTX less than a year. It has a DVI-I have the interface.

  I have the latest monitor and video drivers installed and have done the factory reset. Any ideas?

  The U2713HM requires cable DVI - D Dual Link (reference Dell HCX4X), not the DVI - D Single Link cable supplied with the 2208WFP. Contact Customer Service. Give them the order number from Dell Outlet. Tell them that send you the cable HCX4X DVI - D Dual Link.

• 2408WFP, green "snow" around lines, out of warranty

  Hello

  I bought my 2408WFP for photographic work. About 2 years ago, he developed a vertical column of bright green pixels to the right, which disappears once it gets warmer.  Dell support told me that I was out of luck because it was out of warranty. Fortunately, I was able to live with the scratches, because I know ultimately it will go away, and it is somewhat useful, as it tells me when the monitor has reached its working temperature. Unfortunately, in recent months he has also developed what I can only describe as brilliant green snow, a bit like a badly tuned analog TV could have showed. The snow seems to be more attracted to lines or edges where there is a strong contrast between light and darkness, but it spreads through the entire display area. Unlike the vertical line, this snow appears only when the monitor is warmed up, which makes it next to useless. I tested it on Windows 7 original DVI, VGA connector, using a different graphics card, Windows 8 on HDMI using my Tablet and HDMI with my linux netbook. I can confirm that snow occurs in all four combinations. There seems to be less of a problem on the netbook, but I suspect that it is because it can not simply driving the monitor at its full resolution. I must say that I am really disappointed by that. It's the most expensive monitor that I have ever bought and I expect it to last more than five years. I agree with comments elsewhere on this forum about "eventually out electronics. There are no moving parts in this device, which means that the snow is due to one or more defective components. The absence of an official repair center is also a real problem for me, and the replacement, the U2413, was AU $150 more than the 2408. Unfortunately, the Dell is only 24 "monitor with the support of the color gamut Adobe RGB that I can afford, but I hate the idea of paying that kind of money when I already have what should be a functional monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get assistance from Dell in order to minimize the cost of replacement?

• Need help to find an adapter for a third-party monitor

  Hi all! I find myself in need of a little guidance, and I hope that someone out there will have a quick n easy for me...

  I have a Mid-2011 27 'iMac. which has two ports Thunderbolt It is taken with a Wacom tablet that I use constantly, and the other is made by an external hard drive to a solid state, which has a built-in cable to Thunderbolt (no way to hang it on a different port). I also have a 27 "HP monitor that is currently connected via an HDMI USB adapter.

  The problem is that the HP monitor is actual "jiggy" - the USB does not seem fast enough to deal with requests for the monitor. It is almost unusable. I know I should run it via a HDMI adapter Thunderbolt, but as I have already mentioned the two my Thunderbolt ports are already in use.

  Someone at - it ideas? I need sort of three to two ports Thunderbolt hooks, but I can't seem to find anything for less than $300 that would work. (I am illiterate when it comes to the different cables, adapters, ports, etc., so I hope someone can point me in the right direction by using short words... Most of the products that I travel through list specifications that me Chicane).

  The monitor has two HDMIs and a VGA port, and my iMac has a Firewire 800 port, if that helps at all...

  2011 iMac have only 1 Thunderbolt port and there is no such thing as a Mid-2011, you must have an iMac of year later, if it has 2 ports Thunderbolt. All the 27 "iMacs, from 2012 to 2015 the current have 2 ports Thunderbolt.

  I am currently using OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.  I bought in 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard and have to Lion then updated my current operating system.  The internal dvd player has worked with much fussing, (insert the disc - closing - turn after a wait - by pushing the drive when he jumped on reboot).  If I had the chance after a few hours, the video disc show up on my desk.  When this happened, I was opening the dvd player that was in the Finder and the disc would play. I also tried to open the dvd first player and then insert the disc.  That no longer works.  Yesterday, only it just stop working.  The reader still takes dvd and swirls and click as before but then ejects the dvd. Repeatedly stop and restart is no longer works.  I make sure that the dvd be clean before I use it and have tried many different DVDs without success.  I think it's a software issue.  Does anyone have an idea/instructions a nearly dead grandmother brain that can follow to update or redate back to original factory setting to help this poor Smartdrive not so smart?

  There has been a lot of complaints of not being able to use the resolution full screen on 3 monitors of party, who has worked in El Capitan.  I've seen all the problems such as you report.

  However, I guess the graphics driver passed under changes in the Sierra, and it is possible, that this is yet another side effect.

  You may very well be a bug, so that developers know that there is still another problem with the graphics driver Sierra
