I am using Cisco's vpn client to connect to my work. It uses IPsec, UDP. Although I can connect to the VPN server at work, I can't access any other resources. I noticed that routing tables are not updated. I can continue to use internet and I think traffic is not being routed through the VPN connection at all. I tried adding a default route: route add default ip.vpn.at.office (ip.vpn.at.office is the static address of the work place vpn server) Doing this, I only lose my internet connection but do not get access to work place resources.
What/where is a good resource for learning how to edit HD video via FCE 4.0. I am having my difficulties and end up back in iMovie, but I made an investment in the FCE and want to learn to use it.
I recently installed the widget iStat Pro. When i did, i discovered that the (what i presume to be) drivers from my printer are using up all of my processes. In the processes tab, it can go anywhere from 90% to +100%. I have nothing in my login items but iTunes helper and absolutely nothing in the start items. I don't know what to do about this.
When I'm running mail my fan started continuously running on high. I search google and found out that mail was using close to %100 of the system resources.
I can not find out how to correct this issues. I'm using a gmail account via pop.
To reduce the signal to noise ratio,please do not respond to this post asking questions of why I want to do this or with opinions about the validity of the task.I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro Core i5 and I am consistently enraged that a computer this powerful is always lurching along when I am trying to do multiple things at once.I would like to limit the amount of RAM/CPU available to applications on a systemwide basis.All mobile OSes institute this policy (except for Android and its runaway memory munching) and this is what makes those system react so quickly.I know about nice and freezer but these solutions require constant tweaking for each process run. I would like a solution that is applied to every process, systemwide, if that is possible.

I'm picking up two laptops next week and am wondering if there will be much of a performance difference between leapord and tiger. One Laptop will be a G4 1.33ghz with 1gb of ram. I hope for this to run the midi tracks to control lights on stage and the backing audio tracks(roughly 15 audio files running at once). The other will be a macbook pro 2.0ghz (core duo) with 2gb of ram. This will run the live VST synthesizers(no more than 2 at a time) through my sequencer (cubase or maybe a mac alternative). I'm thinking it would be easier to just have leapord on both machines but I may need to squeeze everything I can get out of the G4. Is their a performance difference or does one OS take more resources?
I have a new mac mini, 1gig ram, 2ghz processor, and finder is consistently using 65+ percent of cpu percentage, i checked my buddies computer and his finder uses 1%. Also my computer crawls and i assume this is the reason.
So I've been helping this guy do stuff with his mac (MBP 3,1, 2.4GHz dual-core, 2GB DDR2 RAM w/667 bus) and lately he's had a problem where his computer freezes totally and you have to reboot. I was working with him today and it froze while I had address book (which had stopped responding) and finder open. He always has a second screen (one of the big apple monitors that uses the video port, a USB, and a firewire 400) and an external Firewire 800 harddrive, with external power-source, for backup always plugged in.
The machine is only like 2 years old and he has over 70 GB left on his harddrive. Is it possible that always having the external monitor and external disk is draining resources and making the computer run slower? If this is the case, will this model MBP hold more than 2GB, and if it does, does it come with two 1GB modules, or one 2GB module? The next time I see him I'm gonna install MenuMeters to see if his resources are being used a lot with the stuff plugged in.
My friend was having some issues with an old mac of his, so he bought a new one. He said that when he connected the two macs to move files from the old one to the new one, something weird happened. Te new one found the processor and ram from the old one and used it as its own resources.
I have lost contact with this guy so i have no way to find out how this was done. I think he said he used a firewire cable between the two macs but am not sure
does anyone know how to do this? I dont think it was xgrid cause it worked with all programs and could see the processors in activity manager. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was working on my Mac but is coming very slow sometimes so I found the problem is the kernel task.
Lex I already use the Clean My Mac and since the first time I delete a lot of things I don't even remember how many. Should I format my drive?
About the iCleanMemory so the system will clear the RAM by it self or should I do something different or use another program?

I have the 2.2 blacbook, 4gb ram, 320gb hdd. Now when I first bought my macbook, I did not use Illustrator or Photoshop CS3 (for both). Now 1.5 years in, I am using Illustrator and I noticed that when I am working on both (either at the same time, or with one program closed) I sometime get the message in Illustrator "Not enough memory" or "Not enough ram" or when I am saving an image for web and devices "an unknown error has occurred"
BUT if I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS3 (for both) on Vista via bootcamp none of these errors occur. I just don't want to imaging what will happen when I use CS4. Is this due to the way Leopard is setup? I am also looking to upgrade...So do you guys think the new macbook or macbook pros would be better? I mean, my current macbook is holding up well...but I just hate these errors. I prefer to work in Leopard than Vista.
(ex: Working with Core Data, Implementing Push Notification). Certain videos appear to download but when I try to play them, the download starts again. I have "downloaded" the same video 5 or 6 times, and it still won't play.
Other iTunes video downloads from iOS Development Resources work without any problems (ex: Ingredients of Great Apps).
Specifically: if I am in iTunes, and navigate to iTunes U, then select the iOS Development Videos category, I see a list of all the videos that are available. If I click the little "Get" button for many of the videos in the list, the download process seems to work perfectly (I see the progress of the download in the header section, and it all looks normal). However, as soon as the download is complete, the "Get" button reappears and the video listing looks just like all the other videos that have not yet been downloaded. If I attempt to play the video (select it, and click the Play button) the download starts all over again. I have found one video that actually downloaded, and can be played.
Is there a setting that controls this behavior? I haven't been able to find it.
I have a large spreadsheet that is very slow. I wanted to allocate more of my system resources to enable it to crunch the data quicker. I have upgraded to 8G of Ram and have the highest CPU available.
I run a windows XP workgroup network in my office and plan to use a mac mini as a file server, coupled with a Time Capsule to use as back up and to provide wifi access to several PC laptops. My question is, will the Time Capsule allow the PC laptops wireless access shared files and printers hosted by other PCs in the workgroup, as opposed to printers connected to the Mac Mini/Time Capsule?
I absolutely LOVE Safari, despite the zippier speed of Chrome and the bells & whistles that accompany Firefox (both of which I now use from time to time, although Safari is definitely my MAIN browser). But why does each iteration of Safari seem to take up more system resources and run slower than the previous version? Especially if it's left on for a while- I had Safari use up to 700MB of memory (constant beachballing) for no apparent reason (no windows open) after I updated to the latest version. Anyone know why Safari is such a glutton with the system resources, and if there's a way to make it run a little slimmer?
I recently reinstalled Lion on my Air to clean up a few issues, but it seems to have created new ones. This is what I see at the top of Activity Monitor pretty much constantly now.
I did a software update last night and the firmware update attempted to install. Unfortunately, it errors out with the message: Necesary resources are missing, corrupt, or do not have the correct permissions. Delete the iMac Graphics Firmware Update and re-download it and run again.
I just recently installed Windows 7 on my macbook pro. Everything seemed to work well, especially after I installed boot camp for windows and its drivers.
However I can't seem to connect to the internet. My router is detected but when I select to connect to it I get no internet access.
So prior to my snow leopard update everything was working fine. Than I installed SL and ever since than I cant down load anything at all from the store.
The message I get says the following:
"there was a problem downloading (insert name of movie or whatver here). You do not have enough access privleges for this operation
I have always been a PC user. Recently switched to MAC. I purchased the new Macbook Pro with 2.80Ghz. I have 2 PCs running Windows 7 RC1.I entered the workgroup name in the Airport utility, turned file sharing on. Also installed XP Professional via VMWare Fusion. I can access my shared folder on both the PCs running Windows 7 RC1 and also from XP Professional via VMWare without any problem whatsoever.
However, in Finder when I GO to Network, it doesn't show anything at all, just a black screen. I cannot see any PC at all. Since all the PCs can access my shared folder without any problem, I believe there is no settings required on PCs, but something is missing in MAC setting.
I am unable to access the "802.1X" tab in "Network Preferences". When I click on it, the tab turns grey, but no menu pops up. I tried doing a Safe Boot and changing settings there, but when I tried to save settings, the "Network Preferences" shuts down abruptly.
I did not have this problem until I tried to connect to a University Network, which has WPA2 Enterprise security and the need to create a new user profile in this "802.1X" tab to access the internet (ridiculous, isn't it?).
I've set up an old MacPro to be a media center for my AppleTV. I'd like to set up a VNC client to work with the box so my wife can get her monitor back from me (I'm using her second monitor). I poked around and found Chicken of the VNC and thought this would work.
I just want to log into that machine through my MacBook. I thought that I just had to plug in the IP of the box and I'd pretty much be off and running but that isn't working out. CotVNC keeps locking up every time I try what I think is right. Can someone give me a quick and dirty run-down of what I need to do in order to do what I want?
New user here as I am sure most posters are to this forum. I was given an old G5 by a customer of mine, I have had it into the local Mac Repairer who has looked it up and down and installed Leopard onto the system. I have been trying to get the DVD player to read multi regional DVD and had a forum member PM me instructions on how to do this, I am working on these instructions and while trying to perform on of the tasts I keep getting this error message. The document "SystemVersion.plist could not be saved. You do not have the appropriate access privileges? How do I get them? I am the owner of the computer so I should be able to get them?
I understand that when installing ram in the new 2008 mac pro. You can achieve a slight increase in speed. By installing your modules in sets of four, of the same size. Does this mean that once I have my first set of four. That all additional sets of for have to be the same type of the first. Or can I mix and match sets of four. Will 4 1-gig chips, and a second set consisting of 4 2-gig chips. Still allow me to take advantage of the speed increase of 256-bit access.
I have a question. How do i access other pc from my macbook ....let say, i am a mac user and my friend is a pc user and while we online on yahoo messenger, she's not use how to set some setting on her windows xp and i can be able to access her pc and help the setting. I am not sure what method to use or program. enlighten me
I am, unfortunately, an ex Mac user. I have an old G3 (the beige one) that is not working. Due to my work change I have been a PC user for the last eight years. I have 15-20 Mac formatted Zip disks (100megs) full of JPEGs. I was a proferssional photographer. The problem= Is there a way to get the info off the disks and onto CDs? Without paying a fortune? I'd like to have the images on my Dell.
