After installing 10.9.5 I keep getting "Application Not Responding" for iMovie, Preview, Elements 10, Quicktime. Also my external drive showing up as camera on in iMovie. I do not have time machine. All was working well before! Processor 2.5GHz i5

iMac 2.5 GHz
Intel Core i5
4GB Memory

I have a similar problem.
Moreover, as my external drive is split in 2 for (a) regular storage // (b) time machine usage, I can see in the Finder that I can connect to the (a) regular storage part and use it normally (image 1).
And I cannot connect to the backup part in Finder , nor see it in Disk Utility, nor use it in Time Machine (although it's listed in the Time Machine preferences, image 2), as it does not connect (image 3).
Can somebody help?

My firefox stops responding and fades for about a half min almost every hour, OR MORE often

My firefox stops responding and fades for about a half min almost every hour, OR MORE often.
I am typing a message or information, the screen fades to about half bright. the curser freezes in place and no key responds.
The information bar at the top of the page says "firefox not responding" in about 30 seconds it restores and continues as tho nothing happens.

I might have discovered the solution without starting over with all your places and bookmarks.
Right after i installed 7.0.1 over a week ago,every 10-30 min When i would be watching videos online, it would freeze for 20-30 seconds. Firefox would say ( Not responding) both firefox and the plugin container process would be very large memory files. I tried to go back to Firefox 5.0. No avail it would still freeze.I tried to disable the plugin container . no good. I tried to adjust memory or cache or plugin settings in “about:config”.Nothing fixed it!
I finally discovered why my Firefox 7.01 was periodic hanging fix. It is something to do with some of your personal files. download this this add on and install it
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
or you can Google "places maintenance Firefox"
After you install the add on, restart Firefox.go to "tools", then "add ons" and then click “extensions” tab ,then click' options" on the "places maintenance" entry. choose "ALL' or just "expire" and hit "execute", then wait until its done., restart Firefox. should be fine then and all my bookmarks, customizations ,settings, and history stays untouched!
After i did this my Firefox did not freeze once for over 3 days straight. Might not work for everyone. I already read that Mozilla is aware of the problem and are working on a fix it in the full version of 8( the 8 beta did not fix the problem for me) . But they said this is a good temporary fix at least,( might be permanent)
For me at least ,Firefox works fine in 7 now. perfect actually.And many people i saw on similar forums had similar problems.
Enjoy. Hope this helped

- Charge the iPod for half an hour. Then reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
- If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mod see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

After installing the notified update I am unable to send e-mails (using O/E on XP) as my system is supposedly unsecure. (I receive a message saying "... Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F".) Everything was working fine immediately before I updated.

After installing the notified update I am unable to send e-mails (using Outlook Express on Windows XP) as my system is now thought to be Unsecure. (I receive a message saying "... Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F") Everything was working fine immediately before I installed the update. Can anyone (pleeeease) tell me where Flash has changed my security settings as I have looked at the setup, but everything looks okay. Thankyou!

Branching this to a new discussion as it appear you are facing difficulties with the installation or running the programs you have been downloading and installing.

Have to "Set up Bluetooth Device" for wireless trackpad and keyboard almost every day

Almost every day when I turn on my MacBook Air in my home office, my Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad do not automatically reconnect. They used to connect just fine when I was in the viscinity, but now (for the past 6 months or so) I almost always have to:
Bluetooth > Set up Bluetooth Device
Turn off the keyboard (hold down the power button for several seconds)
Turn the keyboard back on (hold down power button for several seconds)
Go through the setup wizard
Repeat for the trackpad
Things that don't work:
Pressing the button on each Bluetooth device
Restarting each Bluetooth device
Turning Bluetooth on and off
Setting the Bluetooth devices as "Favorites"
Selecting the device from the Bluetooth menu item and clicking "Connect"
Rebooting my MacBook Air
Resetting the NVRAM / PRAM
Once the device is connected for the day, I do appear to be able to "Disconnect" and then "Connect" again from the Bluetooth menu item. The devices will also automatically reconnect by pressing a button on them. It just appears to lose the "lease" on them or whatever after a little less than a day.
I'm trying to think of other troubleshooting steps I could take and it just occurred to me that I could try swapping them with the peripherals I use at work (which are possibly newer models, but otherwise identical). Any other suggestions?

Huzzah! Less than 1 week after finally getting fed up and posting this question, I have discovered the root cause - my wife had been inadvertently stealing my keyboard and mouse connection whenever she turned on her laptop! She's using my hand-me-down MacBook Pro which I thought I had reset, but apparently it remembered its Bluetooth connections.
I had suspected something similar since I occasionally used the wireless keyboard with my iPad, but had already ruled that out.
I can't believe I figured this out after 6 months of mild frustration, but just days after posting this question

I bought my MacBook pro in May 2012. for whatever reason the screensaver will not turn on. Took it in to genius bar. They said the software had to be deleted and reloaded. Which they did around 3 weeks ago. Everything was working fine. Now anymore again

Is anyone else having problems with their screen saver not turning on? My was working when I first bought the lap top. Then it stopped activating, I could get it to come on from a hot corner, or if I powered off the lap top and the next time I would boot on it would work for a few days but then it would stop. Made an appointment with the Genius bar and they suggested to wipe clean the HD and re-install the software Mountain Lion. Which was done. It worked fine for a few weeks, now it has stopped again, and I can not even get it to stay on by activating it from the Hot Corners.
Anyone else having the same problem? And if so what have you done to try and correct it? Apple ran a check on my MacBook and they said there is nothing mechanically wrong with the MacBook that it is the software?????

I cant get firefox to open at all it was working fine on Monday 1-09-12 but now whenever I try to open it it just says not responding I have uninstalled & re installed 3 times what do I do

My internet explorer works without any problem but I don't like using explorer I prefer Firefox please help if you can

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My husband and I both have iphones and share the same apple id. Everything was working fine until I synced his phone which lost all his contacts and pictures and gave him my info. I then used verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back

My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?

Are you sharing the same iCloud account (in Settings>iCloud)? And do you both have Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud?

I have an apple 2 for about 3 months and everything was working fine but now I can't access safari what can I do

I have an apple2 for about 3 months and everything was fine,but now when I try to access safari it doesn't open what can I do

Have you tried a "hard reset"? If so, I would take the phone to an Apple store. If not,
1. Make sure the phone is OFF
2. Hold the HOME button and then press the power button and HOLD IT.
3. Hold both buttons until the phone comes ON, goes OFF and come ON again (about 45 seconds)
4. Re-sync with iTunes.
Hope this helps.

When using Dreamweaver, I go to preview in browser (Firefox) and nothing comes up. It was working fine in the earlier version of Firefox. Is there a setting I need to change?

'''bold text'''

I tentatively think I have the solution; this is for when the session id value 'thing', in about:config, referred to in other answers is already on the default/rest state.
I am assuming, I don't what to imply certainty in-case there is a value wrong in our browsers, that the problem stems from the fact that our homepage is no longer the default for Firefox.
So, go to 'Options'>'General' and delete the homepage. This will reset it to the new address, which is 'about:home'.
I hope this helps some people.

HT204291 Everything was working fine with ATV ie mirroring and the apple tv itself, now I no longer am able to mirror my macbook air for some reason.

Last week i was able to use every function of my ATV, however in the last couple of days, I've been unable to get my macbook air to mirror to our tv. Nothing has changed - I havent done anything different. Ive read and re-read discussions to no avail. Please help if you know how I can troubleshoot this issue.
not sure if atv or atv2 but shouldn't make a difference in working order, as I said earlier, nothing has changed so why is it no longer working?
Cheers

I have macbook air with osx 10.9.5. Play thru hdmi cable to TV no problem until I loaded Sling and played the first time. The next day it would not play to my big screen thru the same port and cable. My 10 year old Sony laptop will play with no problem, but not as high a rate and quality. Seems to me Apple didn't like me playing their competition? Could this be the problem?

Can anyone help me please, recently when using my apps or games they will suddenly close down, everything was working fine.

Hello peeps,
Just a quick problem i need to solve to protect my sanity. In the recent weeks my ipad 3 has been closing apps un expectedly, this is driving me mad.
Sometimes they close to my home screen and are actually still running but when i click on the its like they restart. Other times the ipad will just crash and i would have to do a hard reset.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I used my Photoshop Elements 11 program yesterday and it worked fine; today I tried to open it and got a C++ Runtime Error. I am not tech savvy so need a solution I can understand and implement...if I uninstall and reinstall the program will it resolve?

A little more info -- the program is running on Windows 8.1, 64 bit OS.
I originally purchased the program from Amazon -- could I uninstall and then re-download from there to resolve this?
Thanks!

Thank you so much. The error provided no clues as to which MSVC runtime should be reinstalled so I removed the program from my computer and reinstalled it. It is working fine now. Really appreciate your help and quick response!

I was using itune to back up my iphone, it was working fine. after I backed up some pictures now it won't let me open itune. a message said theiTune librar

I cannot open itune from my PC, i keep getting the message said"the itune library.itl file is locked in a locked disc. or you don't have permission to this file" how do I unlock it?

I was receiving the same message. I had to uncheck the box that allowed me to sync my phone to my computer (PC) via wi-fi. After that, I have not had any problems. I am speculating that this issue is probably related to the wi-fi problems people are experiencing with iOS 6.
