I'm having trouble with my upload speed, it isn't my network it must be my macbook because I've had excellent upload speeds on my PC and ****** on my mac. It rarely uploads and when it does it's usually slow. I use uTorrent 1.0 for my macbook. Anyone else have this same issue?
(Also all of my torrent downloads are legal and not copyrighted)
Is there a way to hide/show a fake IP address when using uTorrent?
If not, are there any other torrent clients that can do this?
I'm new to the whole mac thing and got my first mac (an iMac) just 2 days ago. A whole new learning experience.
I've downloaded and am running uTorrent. uTorrent is showing in the dock, with the text and the small "light" underneath it to show the app is running. However there is no icon, just space. Also in the applications folder, there seems to be a standard icon ("There's no icon, so we'll use this standard icon for the application").
I've attached a screenshot of how it looks in the dock.
I know the uTorrent app has an icon, it was showed right when I downloaded the app and I haven't changed anything, but now it's gone. How do I get it back?
For some reason, my uTorrent will not close after I decide to quit it. Therefore, I have to got to Force Quit to close it which it does. However, when I turn on uTorrent again, the files I was downloading before will start over like they did not download at all. So far I tried to update my uTorrent but it is up to date. Now I could turn it off by pressing the power button but I do not want to do that to ruin my Mac Mini.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo I just installed an Intel x25-M into the hard drive bay of my MBP 15" i7, and put the stock HDD into the optibay.Installed OSX onto the SSD, wiped the HDD clean, everything seems to be working perfectly.Disabled SMS, disabled hibernation, all fine. I would like to enable noatime, but for the life of me can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
After I restart, I check the status of naotime in terminal (as directed) but all I see is "hfs, local, journaled" and there is no indication of noatime.
I have been having trouble with accidental trackpad input on my Macbook Pro mid-2009, and I can't find any way to deal with it in the trackpad preference pane. I seem to remember that there was a way to turn on "ignore accidental input" but I can't find it now. Anyone seen that in Snow Leopard 10.6.2?

I need to upload from these discs to a New Project or a New Event in iMovie. I cannot figure a way to upload for editing and produce a finished movie.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the base model 13" MBP in my possession, but I have been trying to return it for a 13" 2.53ghz machine since last Friday. And even until today, they have been out of stock of this particular model. I have called all the Apple Stores in my area and they have been out of stock for about 5-6 days. I checked the online store and all 2.53ghz models (13" or 15") are backordered 5-7 days. All other models ship within 24 hours.
So, what are your experiences at your Apple Store in regards to the stock of 13" 2.53ghz model? Are the higher end 13" selling this well, or could there be a problem producing/sourcing enough 2.53ghz processors?I will continue to wait until they are back in stock until then.
I have a 2.8 eight core Mac Pro. Recently I was copying home video captured by IMovie to a WD external book drive. It froze and I had to force quit the copy process. Now I am unable to use anything by USB except my keyboard and mouse. The computer will only occasionally recognize and record files from a thumb drive or a photo card. I don't know if I have a software or a hardware problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a an old G4 running Mac 10.3.5 that I need to update to 10.3.9 to run a program. The machine has a long boot time so I'm worried it might die soon.
Anyways I am wondering if I should click "repair permissions" and/or "verify permissions" before I do the 10.3.9 combo update. Will this increase the chances that the 10.3.9 update will not cause problems? Or can repairing permissions itself cause trouble?
I have never repaired or verified permissions on this machine.
when I put my usb stick in my mac under the search for section in the finder my pics and docs come up. As soon as I take my usb out they all disappear. Does this mean that they are on my mac or usb.Im really having trouble understanding the relationship between the OS and USB.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed SL the day it was released and am having several issues that I cannot figure out.The installation was over Leopard on a 2.93 GHz 24" iMac with 4GB ram. I'm having the most trouble with Photoshop while trying to "Save As". Photoshop will just crash hard and close without saving any of the changes I made to the file. I've tried saving to alternate locations (i.e. desktop, etc) but still get the same crash.
Another little annoying quirk is when I need to confirm an installation, the text in the window is garbage.
I looked through a few pages of threads and did not see this so here I go.Is there a problem with the new iMac and their airport card? I bought a new iMac 21.5" to replace my 20" early 2007 model and the internet stayed connected to my router for maybe the first few days but now it keeps disconnecting. It sometimes will reconnect once I turn the card off and then on again other time I need to restart the computer to get it to connect. There have even been a few times when a restart does nothing for the problem. This problem is not just a once in awhile thing. Just this morning, I worked on my computer for like 20 minutes and it disconnected itself about 5-6 times while just downloading some music in iTunes and surfing this forum.
Is this just me? or is this a wide spread problem? I want to know so I can take it to the Genius Bar if this is just me to have them fix it.
Been trying different online backup programs, but hit a glitch when installing programs.SafeCopy gives me an - Install Failed - The Installer could not write the receipt for "safecopyPostflight".I also get a could not write Receipt Error, when I try to install Carbonite.I called Tech Support for both companies, they had others that had same problems, but other than wipe the drive and start with a fresh OS X install, offered no solution.

i recently bought a Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 512M GDDR5 PCI-E DUAL DVI-I/TVO SKU# 21133-00 S/N 180825044742 flashed with mac firmware.
The instructions said to take out my existing card put the sapphire in slot 1, then boot up and install drivers.
So i took my Nvidia 7300 GT card out of slot 1 and put in the 4870, then started up. I get the grey start up screen with the apple in low resolution for about 8 sec, then the screen just goes blank.
What am i doing wrong?... do i need to keep the Nvidia 7300 GT in slot 2, then boot up connected to that first?

It's very prominent and is not your standard HDD "chatter."Often, Finder will hang and I'm forced to power-cycle the machine. Most of the time, it boots without incident.Lately, however, there have been incidents. Tonight, when I got home, it froze. I tried to power-cycle it, but got nothing. I plugged it in.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAbout a week ago I got a DrayTek Vigor 2910VG router. The thing's a dream in terms of features (VoIP, Dual WAN, USB port, etc.), but WLAN has been a complete headache. After a fresh restart of my iMac (see my sig for the computers on my home network, all of which are affected by this problem), I can usually connect to the WPA/WPA2-encrypted WLAN. Then, for reasons I can't determine, I will lose all access to the Internet and to other computers on the local network.

It usually takes 3 tries for it to start and it takes a really long time. I've tried repairing permissions and zapping p-ram. I'm using carbon copy to completely clone my hard drive onto my external.
Once I buy a new hard drive, how can I transfer all data back onto it in the easiest way possible? Can use my snow leopard disc to format the drive and then is there a way to just transfer all data from my external onto it?
I have a G4 10.4.11 and I tried installing my wife's Leopard 10.5. After I inserted the DVD the computer started the typical ''restart'' process. Once the computer turned into the installing screen, it informed me that I had to have a 10.5 version installed in order to install this version. At this point it only offered me two options... "continue" with the installation (which only led to the same message) and "cancel" which was the option I chose. Once I clicked on cancel, it offered me 2 sources to start my computer on... the DVD and OSX (which had the mac classic icon on).... i clicked OSX.
Now, every time I turn on my computer I see the following icon flashing on a grey screen for about 3 minutes: (URL)
Followed by these 2 folder icons also flashing after the other for another 2 minutes: (URL) (URL)
Also my mac has been freezing up a lot during the past month... I have to pull the plug out... I added 2 memory cards a while back each 256mb but apparently didn't make a difference... any tips on how can I cleanse my computer out of hidden useless files that might be eating up the memory?
I have a brand new iMac running 10.7.4 bound to AD with mobile accounts to be created at login. We've had dozens of users log into this Mac with their AD credentials with no problems. Login proceeds as expected, home folders are created, etc. One user cannot log in. The login window will freeze (spinning beach ball) after he enters his credentials and the computer has to be manually shut down. After a restart you can see that his home directory has been created, with proper permissions, but he still cannot log in (spinning beach ball). However, he CAN log onto other AD bound Macs, just not this one. And he CAN log onto a bound Windows machine, so apparently there's nothing wrong with his account. There is no OD server in the mix. The computer is bound to our AD domain only. The system log shows the proper UID but indicates that the user name can't be found. But then the user folder (with the correct name) is created anyway. Later there is an entrry that the UID can't be found.

I guess there's one more thing that will probably help resolve this problem... I don't see any video just heard audio

I am trying to upload my music library that I have stored on numerous CDr's to itunes, but, when I put these in My macbook pro reads it as a blank disc. If I put the same CD in My Mom or Dad's Macbook pro's it reads it and uploads it as expected. I took one of my parent's random CDr's & it uploaded to my itunes just fine. It seems to be only the CDr's that I really want to upload.
