Help! With new update apps keep starting on it's own - even after closed

Help!
My battery cannot last the day now. Even with Advanced Task Killer, my applications are starting to open all day long every 5 minutes on their own.  They never did this before the update.  This includes apps like Facebook, Words with Friends, Maps, and whatever the new Media Hub.
Also this new Media Hub won't let me in to try to turn off any settings because it wants me to update. What is it? Can I get rid of it?

Ditch ATK and you should be fine.  Those apps aren't doing anything for the most part unless you have them syncing which can be adjusted in the app specific settings.  You'll just kill your battery like you're doing now if you try to keep them closed.
  I agree with PJNC284, and get rid of the task killer. I found that it was somewhat useless because like he said, they will just start back up, and that takes resources and power to do. The biggest thing is the apps that sync, you need to make sure they are adjusted to suit your needs. Fast / more often the sync results in less battery life.

  • Need Help With New iPhoto App

    Hello,
    I recently updated to the new Photos app and when I tried to open it and migrate my library an error popped up saying that I need at least 75 GB of space. I checked and had 55 GB free at the time. I went through and deleted a bunch of excess things like music, videos, documents, and unused apps. When I went back to check it said that I had only 52.56 GB of free space. I don't understand. This is now what my storage looks like.
    So now it seems that after deleting things I have less space AND I still cannot migrate my photo library. I'm out of the country now and have many video projects that I need to do for work. As a side note, I don't use iCloud for my photos or videos. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it.
    Thanks for any help!
    Warmly,
    Autumn Marie

    The storage used in that display is only an estimate. What do you see, when you select your Macintosh HD in the Finder and look at the sizes in the "Finder > File > Get Info" panel for your harddisk? The free storage is shown in the General brick of the Info panel:
    The migration may be needing more free storage, if your iPhoto Library has a corruuption and needs repairing.
    Try the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools before you try to migrate the library again to Photos:
    Make a backup copy on an external drive.
    Then try the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on your iPhoto Library  to repair the permissions and to repair the database.
    To repair hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto application in the Applications folder  to launch the iPhotos Library First aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    The select "Repair database".  Repeat with "repair Permissions".
    If it still does not suffice, repeat with "Rebuild Library".
    Then try to migrate the library again to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.

  • Help with new facebook app idea

    I created a drawing facebook app that allows users to draw on Graffiti Walls. If anyone wants to see the app LIVE right now, it's at, [link removed by moderator]. I made this app using Flash, Actionscript 3 and MySQL for the database. PHP for the serverside stuff.
    Currently each user is allowed his or her own two favorite colors, a message of the day text and also a signature text. I would like to add the ability for a user to store a URL to a mp3 file.(I am not stupid and i'm not allowing users to host mp3 files). Just a link to an mp3 file. Then when you visit that persons wall, the mp3 file loads up.
    I guess what I'm looking for is a good mp3 file host to use? One that offers an upload API would be ideal. Anyone help me with this?

  • My iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this

    my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??

    All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
    If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID.

    Hi- My  Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

    Update
    I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

    How do I sync manually, with new update it doesn't show the option?

    For iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync you device>Setup syncing
    Sync your device manually
    If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
    You can manually sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons. You can’t manually sync photos and info (contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and so on).
    Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
    Click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos” (below Options).
    Click the On This Device button.
    Click Add To on the right side of the iTunes window.
    Drag items from the left side of the iTunes window to the pane on the right. To add other types of content, choose a category from the Library pop-up menu.
    Click Done.
    If you use automatic syncing, you can also add items to your device by dragging. To drag items to an automatically synced device, follow the instructions above, but skip step 2.
    The picture from the iTunes Help do not display.

  • I can not get the new updates because my start disc and hard drive are full, I need 1.98 GB.

    I can not get the new updates because my start disc and hard drive are full, I need 1.98 GB.

    Some folks recommend OmniDiskSweaper to allow you to review your stuff to find possible candidates to throw away.
    Even if you throw away some stuff and your desired "1.98GB", then what?  If that's the number you need for the update, you'll just use most or all of the reclaimed space with the update and you are right back to where you started.
    You don't specify what kind of machine you got but presumably it's a mac pro since you posted in the Mac Pro community.  In which case just get yourself another drive or two and move stuff around to free up your boot drive.
    [Perhaps you should hurry too since I expect hdd prices might be going up due to possible impending hdd shortages.]
    Finally, if some of those updates are major system updates you want extra drives for backups because I always recommend you never do major updates to your system without backups to that system.

    Cannot see Cookies with new update of firefox.<br />
    I recently updated firefox, but when I look on the PRIVACY window, where<br />
    websites store cookies, I am no longer able to see any cookies that<br />
    are being stored, and I am not able to delete the cookies as soon as I leave<br />
    their site, as I had been doing for a long time prior to updating.<br />
    So I am wondering where the heck are the cookies being stored now, with the<br />
    new update? I like to be able to delete their cookies immediately, and<br />
    I also wonder why firefox does not make it much easier for us to see<br />
    all the cookies and delete them with one click, instead of having to <br />
    use the &lt;&lt;TOOLS&lt;&lt;OPTIONS&lt;&lt;PRIVACY way of looking at and deleting cookies.<br />
    The option to delete the cookies when firefox closes is not as efficient<br />
    and I will get tracked until I close firefox, and I prefer to not be tracked<br />
    so I like to just delete their cookies as soon as I am no longer using their<br />
    site anymore.

    Hey damien555,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:
