How do i change my screensaver design to dictionary word of the day?
Hi Kyle,
Here is how to change the screensaver to Word of the Day.
Click on the Apple icon at the very top right of your screen and select System Preferences. The System Preferences window will open and you will see rows of icons. Click on the Desktop & Screen Saver icon. In the next screen, click on the Screen Saver tab. Now you will see a list of different type of screen savers. Scroll down to the bottom and select Word of the Day. Close the System Preferences windows and now your screen saver should be set to Word of the Day.
Hope that helps!
Thank you,

How can I get more hard drive space on my Mac. It is now running slow, and I don't know why.
When did it start running slow? If it just started, try rebooting or clearing your cache. Do have the latest version of OS X?
Is it your computer or your internet connection?
As for upgrading your hardware, It depends on what model you have. You can max out your RAM which will speed things up and you can add a solid state hard drive which will also boost the speed.
My laptop will not write any letters
Try resetting the laptop. At least you should do a complete restart. When it won't work at all, it could be a real defect and you need a tech guy to solve the problem.
Past a show to a external hard drive
When the file is larger that 2Gbyte you run into a problem, when the external drive is formattet in FAT. Larger than 4 Gb the Apple format stops you. Only the NTFS format allows you to save larger files.
Or when you make a DVD code from the show, It will fit on any drive, becasue the largest file on a DVD is onlt 1 Gb
I get the spinning rainbow beach ball of ***** on my Mac Air - only when I log into Facebook. Can you help me with that?
Are you using a browser (Safari) or the Facebook app?
If the app, try a browser, and pay attention to the info from the others about the browsers and cleaning up your Air.
If you're using the FBApp, check the App store for comments on similar issues.
Also, if you can, try another machine's browser or app to see if you get similar results. If you do, it may be your FB account, esp if the other person's machine/app works fine for their FB. If you're both slow, it may be FB itself.
How to initialize disk
Do you want to initialize the hard drive on your Mac? Or an External Hard Drive?
Assuming External Hard Drive:
- Go To Applications.
- Open Utilities Folder.
- Open Disk Utility (You Should Already Have External Drive Attached To Computer).
- On left panel select the top name of the external hard drive.
- On the upper tabs on the right side of the panel select Erase.
- ***Note this will delete any content on the external hard drive
- Under Format - Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
- In Box Below Name The External Hard Drive whatever name you want it to be.
- On bottom right select erase.
The External Drive will be Mac Compatible.
Let me know if you were trying to accomplish something else.
My sound in ichat is not working how can i fix it?
Might sound crazy but open Garage Band and play a note on the default Grand Piano [below] (any instrument will do, it just opens first under Software Instruments) Playing the sound in GB will reset things sound wise. Usu. Weird, I know.
Also open Sound in Preferences and see what output is set to. Make sure its set to. Change back to Internal Speakers if it got whigged out somehow.
Spinning wheel
MacKeeper is scam ware. Close whatever browser allowed it to rear its ugly head, and Quit Safari or Firefox to quit the spinning wheel. If its got a tight grip on your system hold the off/on button down till computer does a hard shut off. Try not to do this frequently. Run Disc Utility and verify Permissions-Fix permissions and remember to have Block Pop Ups checked. MacKeeper will bypass the pop ups block anyway but quickly close a browser window that is usu. blank looking and be careful clicking on ads, streaming video, etc that allows it in the gate. Run and Ap Cleaner and get rid of MacKeeper immediately and hunt and destroy ALL remnants of it on your Mac.
Check out info from Apple @ MacKeeper.
Do not install MacKeeper
