Intel Mac :: OS X Lion Hangs Periodically?
Jun 1, 2012My iMac hangs periodically every time I use it. It doesn't seem to show a discernable pattern with regard to activities I'd be performing when it hangs. I could be browsing or checking/composing emails; or perhaps organizing files, iTunes, movies, etc.Â
iMac would hang for a few seconds and it's not just the active app that hangs. Everything is affected -- background apps, dock, menu bar, etc. This would happen a few times each day. I have 8GB of RAM installed and would usually maintain about 3.5 - 5.5 free RAM. I even stopped using Safari cuz it hogs too much RAM. Â
P.S. Mac hanged as I was about to click on the radio button for "Product - iMac" below. Mac also hanged earlier which prompted me to send out this call for help....

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Desktop Icons Flashing/refreshing Periodically?
May 8, 2012Every minute or so, the icons on my desktop dissapear and reappear in less than a second. It is almost as if something is crashing and restarting in the background. It would be that big of a problem, except that if I am working on a full screened app it slides me back to "Desktop 1" everytime that it happens.

Applications :: Restoring Entourage DB From Backup - Contacts Missing
Dec 30, 2009I need to restore my Entourage contacts from backup. My Entourage DB recently became corrupted and during many unsuccessful repair attempts, I lost my contacts along with some Inbox email on the Exchange server. I've just restored the entire DB from Exchange, but after syncing the restored DB with the Exchange server, my contacts are missing. So, it looks like the Exchange server not only won't import/sync the contacts from my local Entourage DB, but Exchange 'wins' during the sync by wiping out all contacts I have stored locally. Is there anyway I can sync my contacts one-way after the DB restore (local restored DB contacts ------> Exchange server)?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Time Machine Backup Is Too Large For The Backup Disk?
Feb 10, 2012my TM wil not back up! It states that this backup is too large for the backup disk. The back up disk requires 573.50 GB but only 225.23 GB are available. The TM needs work space on the backup disk, in addition to the space required to store backups. Upen TM perferences to select a LARGER backup disk or make the backup smaller by excluding file.Â
Okay I;m sorry but obvioulsy I dont get this. I've never called Apple for help! I have every product they sell practically including Protection Plans I never used and no one will help me with this. My MAC is starting to have black or white screens and i can hear it running but it will not do anything so i have to reboot it, it screws up Enturage and then I have to rebuild that ( 5 times this year) anyway... I would like to back everything up- can I delete everything on the Time Capsule or Time Machine; god I dont even know what it is called Im so MAD... help if you can please. I'm going to have to take this to the genius people at the store and probably buy another computer but like before they will not save my files.

Nov 28, 2010Every once in a while, my mid-2010 15" i5 MBP sits at the greyish Apple logo screen, after the "bong," with the wheel spinning forever. If I shut down and reboot, I'm at a log-on screen in about 15 seconds (which is my typical boot time, as I have an SSD). This is my first Mac after a long time on PCs, so I've got no idea where to start. All the posts I've found by searching pertain to earlier model machines using HDDs where the user can't get a boot at all; I'm only seeing this weirdness periodically.

Apr 21, 2007I have a Western Digital HD with a mac mini. Sometimes, after the Mybook is not used for a while, it will shut down, to the point that, only unplugging both the firewire AND power to the Mybook will restart it. How do I get this thing to reboot and show up on my desktop/finder again? It's quite frustrating w/ itunes, as the songs wont play at all if the HD shuts down.
View 23 Replies View RelatedIntel Mac :: I3 Mid 2010 21,5 Turns On Periodically
Apr 18, 2012I read a lot about that issue but I found replies about imacs that wont turn on. But my Imac after the problem, turned on one time.
My issue is that my imac was working like a charm. The day before yesterday, at night, i had an automatic update of firefox and after i switched it off normally.
The day after, at morning, I tried to turn it on but it was behaving like it was not attached to the electricity.
I started to read and I found all that solutions so I did the following:
1. Tried other cables (for power supply)
2. Tried other plugs (in different rooms)
3. Put out the ram sticks and cleaned with a blow dryer the sticks and the space inside the imac so the dust goes out.
4. Tried the reset of SMC with no success as it could not be turned onÂ
I tried everything and after I leaved the mac alone, (3-4 hours) and after i just clicked the button and it was on. I left it all night long switched on so that i save my data and I found it on, this morning.Â
So this morning I did everything to reset the SMC. I put it in sleep mode, restart it, shut it down, put out the cable for 15 sec, put it back, wait 5 sec, but it wont turn on again. I know that there are a lot of responses for the same issue, but I didn't find one that the imac turns on periodically.

IMac :: Periodically Losing Network Connection?
Dec 21, 2009Any else having a problem with periodically losing their network connection on their new iMac? Basically not working properly with your router?
I've narrowed the problem down to the router by connecting directly to the modem and using PPPoe, which works fine.
I had a dlink router which I thought was causing this. Whenever I would use the new iMac I would lose the internet periodically (on my whole network). It would take about 5 minutes to return.
I bought a new linksys router WRT120N to replace the dlink and the problems continue but the internet now only goes out long enough to disconnect my instant messengers and interrupt my streams. Just a little blip. I updated the firmware on the router which I thought worked (ran flawlessly for two days) but now the problem is back.
I'm just wondering if I'm the only one suffering from this or has it been happening to others. It's rather annoying.

Of course, this also means Messages doesnt work. LS is not blocking any icloud things, and calendars and mail are still working with no issues.Â

Applications :: Unable To Keep Contacts / Syncing With Google Changes Contacts
Jan 20, 2010I'm not exactly sure of where to post this... I'm having a problem with my computer (Address Book, I believe) syncing w/ Google contacts. I'm getting the following error messages:
The first image is the original error that comes up. If I click More Info, it brings me to a list of contacts. The "Before" info contains the correct fields for their email addresses (e.g., school, work, etc). However, Google wants to get rid of these fields.
Is there any way I can get Google to accept this fields? Also, can I have Google revert to my Mac's info instead of the other way around (my mac using Google's changes)
