How can I restart Finder when it keeps “stopping” an stopped copy process? @daviewales The normal finder process would be the one without “anonymous” in its label. I have no idea what caused the other two to exist, but could speculate that Finder fires off new processes to handle copying or other tasks, and those are what you see. The letter E in the status indicate that the process is trying to exit, according to the manual page for ps. Not too sure what that means either, but maybe there are pending writes that need to be finished before the process can exit. |

What is accountsd and why does it want to use the “login” keychain?accountsd is a part of the Accounts Framework. It is probably normal for it to want access to your keychain. Apart from that I don't have a clue, but see the answer below. |

How do I run Gimp on Mountain Lion? Actually, once you have Xquartz installed, you usually don't even need to know where it is, since it gets launched automagically whenever some X11 program runs. |

Safari always asks me to install the newest version of Java As far as I know, Safari is blocked from running Java until Oracle patches the latest security hole. See discussion here. |

Why can't I restore apps to iPhone 5 from 4s? I can only speculate. Any problems with your app store account? On the new phone, you should at least be able to go to the app store, select Purchased at the top of the Updates section, and see all the apps you have purchased. You can then download them from there. This might not recover the data associated with your apps, however. |

Finding original files in the Mac OS X installer I posted a somewhat different answer, as I discovered more information. Sometimes, it seems that computers are designed to make us feel stupid … |

How to circumvent a forgotten encrypted iPhone local backup password? If you still have the old phone and haven't reset it, I imagine you can set a new backup encryption password and then make a new backup. Otherwise, I'm afraid you're screwed. |

Finding original files in the Mac OS X installer I think maybe you are not findind the file because it is not in the distribution. I suspect that some other program builds it when needed. As evidence, I offer the fact that pkgutil --files com.apple.pkg.Essentials | grep httpd.conf does not print anything. |

Getting a new iPhone 5 and handing down my old 4S Changing SIMs is dead easy. The phone comes with a tool to eject the card, though a bent paper clip should do just as well. (I haven't checked the iphone 5, though I expect it to be the same.) You are aware that you are posting in a public forum under what seems to be your real name, right? Nudge nudge. |

First click doesn't register? Right. It was a long shot, but worth a try. If this were happening to me, I would consider a full reinstall, after making triply sure I have plenty of backups of course. This looks to me like the sort of problem that requires detailed knowledge of the relevant drivers for its solution, and that sort of knowledge is probably rare outside of Cupertino. |

First click doesn't register? This might seem like a silly idea, but what if some windowless application keeps putting itself in front? Then the first click would be required just to get the app you are trying to interact with to the front. This hypothesis should be easy to confirm or disprove by paying careful attention to the menubar or the coloured buttons in the top left of your window. When the window is not active, the buttons should be grey. |

Is ipfw available in Mountain Lion? I tried turning on the application firewall. The output of ipfw list didn't change, though. This appears to contradict your assertion that ipfw is the backend for the application firewall. How come? |
