Re: Ronni, Peter Neil.
Sorry guy's for some reason I hit 'send', not my day. I was saying that I have a frozen desk top showing in the window is a box with the message that the version of Flip4Mac is not compatible with this version of OSX. It has been put into the incompatible software folder. Clicking on the 'continue' button does nothing except giving me a beep. How can I resolve this problem without turning off the power to my Computer??

Re: Downloading Maverick.
Hello Wamuggers I have resolved the ‘Freeze’ problem by turning off the machine with the on and off switch, then after 10 seconds re-starting the Computer whilst holding down the ‘Option’ key. Sorry to bother you, now that I am up and running I will try and resolve my desktop problem..

Re: Ronni, Peter Neil.
Hi Ronni My problem started after I had downloaded Maverick and the computer had restarted, Mavericks was finishing it’s installation with 1 minute to go when a window came up telling me that the version of “Flip4Mac” was not compatible with the new version of OSX. The window had two boxes, one saying ‘Back’ the other said ‘Continue’, when I clicked on ‘Continue’ all I heard was the beep to tell me that I couldn’t do anything. I left the computer for an hour just in case it was still “doing” something. The screen had frozen. I have since resolved the problem and am now back to normal, Maverick is operating properly at present. I will have to upgrade iPhoto, at present I have been running iPhoto app” 9.2. Now to clean up my desktop, thanks to you, Peter Neil. Thank you so much for your latest advice Ronni, I will read your 6 page tutorial now to ensure that I have done everything correctly. Kindest regards Tony BODDINGTON.

How can I resolve this problem without turning off the power to my Computer?? If you are still in your main OS X installation before the system reboots to install Mavericks, then you can attempt to quit the Mavericks installer or force-quit it. Following this, reboot the system BUT don’t try to install Mavericks until you fix your Desktop problems in your current OS X version. Attempt to quit Mavericks installer If this fails Force Quit the installer Reboot the system Tony you NEVER upgrade or update a system that already has problems! If you can get your system back to what it was before attempting to Install Mavericks, post back to the list with answers to our preious help questions. I have done a 6 Page Tutorial Prepare For Installation of Mavericks OS X 10.9 which explains the preparation you need to do before installing, how to install the upgrade, then what you need to do immediately after installation of Mavericks completes and your Mac restarts.

Re: Why You Should Keep Your Desktop Clean in OS X
Thanks Ronni I consider myself severally named and shamed and will immediately start to clean up my desktop. Another lesson learnt. Cheers Ronni Tony BODDINGTON Tony: Sent from my iPhone. On 28 May 2014, at 12:25, Ronni Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: I'm posting this to WAMUG (again) after seeing the huge number file size of files on Tony's Desktop. How his Mac is even booting up amazes me. Why You Should Keep Your Desktop Clean in OS X A desktop is exactly what it sounds like: a place to store temporary projects. Once you’re done working on a project, store it in a folder. The folder system is really well done on OSX, just go to Macintosh HD Users YourName and you’ll find 9 different folder categories, ranging from music to documents. Use these folders to store your files. Mac OS X considers every icon on your Desktop a window, and because every window uses additional RAM, more Desktop icons means greater RAM usage. Keeping your desktop clean is really important because every icon, folder or alias on it is loaded into the RAM, slowing your system down. If there is a certain folder or file you need to access regularly, leave it where it should be and slide it into the right side of the OSX dock; this will create a stack, a feature that is incredibly useful. Your Desktop is actually a Folder. It lives at your startup disk, usually called “Macintosh HD” Users (your user name) Desktop. The difference is that the desktop folder displays it’s contents on your desktop as icons. These are not your normal icons, because the operating system treats every icon on the desktop as a window. And because every window uses additional RAM, more Desktop icons means greater RAM usage. So having 100 icons on your desktop is like having 100 windows open at the same time. This uses tremendous amounts of system resources and slows everything down. It’s easy for the desktop to get out of hand. Icons on the desktop are generally laid out in a grid. When the grid fills up, the operating system starts to place any additional icons in the same place, stacking them on top of icon for your start-up disk! So now, the problem is getting worse and worse and you don’t even realise it. The solution is easy: Start by creating a new folder on your desktop. (File New Folder) Name it “Stuff to file”, or something like that. Then, take everything on your desktop and put it in that folder. It doesn’t matter how many items are in that folder or how much space those items take up. To the operating system, it’s just another window. Once you have done that, you should notice an immediate improvement in performance. Then Do some house cleaning: Start moving things from the “Stuff to file” folder into the proper folders in your Home Folder: Documents, Music, Pictures or Movies. Create sub-folders in those folders, if necessary. Then, just keep track of the amount of icons on your desktop. How I work and still keep my Desktop Clean: 1. I originally created a New Folder in my Documents Folder (in my Home Folder), and named it WORK. Inside that folder I have created other folders, a “Work in Progress folder (which also has other folders within it, named for different projects I am currently working on), Clients (which has folders for individual clients with projects and work I have done for each). 2. Then Dragged my WORK Folder down onto the Right Side of the Dock. If you look closely at your dock there is a dividing line. (Applications go on the left side of the divider, files and folders on the right. Virtually using the Dock as a launcher, a place for launching applications or accessing frequently used folders) This way my WORK folder is filed in my Documents folder in my Home Folder, but is sitting on my Dock for quick access. 3. I do have a folder sitting on my Desktop named Stuff To File which holds everything I have saved to the Desktop (It also has other folders within). This way my Desktop stays clean of numerous folders icons with only the Hard Drive and Stuff To File folder sitting on it. In Summary: Keep all Documents in the Documents folder. Create folders ‘and place documents within folders’ in your Documents Folder in your Home. I have numerous Folders in my Documents folder. Example, all documents relating to Leopard are in a 'Leopard Folder', Snow Leopard Documents are in a folder ’Snow Leopard’, Lion Documents in Lion Folder, Mountain Lion documents in Mountain Lion folder etc. Drag any Folders you use frequently onto the Right Side of the Dock. Use the Dock for folders you access every day. This will not only ensure that your boot time will be shortened, but also improve the performance of your Mac in general. A bit more information: Remember that anything in the Dock is an Alias. The greater the number of application aliases the

Re: iPhoto Library.
Hello RonniTony here, I am using "Mountain Lion", and iPhoto 11.Ronni I learnt my lesson the first time, after you told me off for messing around with the Library.I was actually dropping photo's into iPhoto because in the New Raw, Elements 9 would not recognise the file, although iPhoto was not only opening the file but I was able to edit the photo's. Whilst iPhoto was open, I think, I opened my back up hard drive to look for something else, it was when I wanted to work on a photo in iPhoto that I realised that iPhoto was only showing photo's from 2011, not today 2013. I don't remember doing anything else except for opening up my back up drive.Ronni, I have just gone into Photo stream and have found all of my Photo's, new and old, although I am happy that I still have my photo's, it doesn't explain where the iPhoto that I was using yesterday and today has disappeared to.Obviously something that I have done Ronni, but I was only working on the desktop.Thanks Ronni, all I need to do now is transfer the photo's from Photo stream back into 'photo's' within iPhoto, I guess??Kindest RegardsTonyBODDINGTON.
