    My Internet connection is fine but everytime I turn on the computer I get an error message about my AirPort Extreme that says. "Double NAT"  can I fix this or should I not even worry.

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

    Click the amber dot next to Status
    Click the option to ignore Double NAT
    Allow the settings to update and the AirPort Extreme will restart with a green light in 25-30 seconds.

  • I get an error code -8003 when I try to empty the trash

    I was about to run TechToolPro to defrag etc my external HD when I decided to reduce the size of the Time Machine file by removing the earliest two or three backups which date back to a year ago or so. I realize the error of my ways now but my thinking was to reduce the time it took to defrag etc.
    I had put the files in my trash on the MBP 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 Gb ram running 10.6.8 which at that time had about 11gib of HD space left. This action brought it down to 3.8 Gb left on the HD.
    cannot
    Now when I try to empty the HD I get an error code -8003 and the HD space remaining has reduced to about .5 Gb.
    What are my options?
    I also have a Super Duper backup.

    Did any of the threads that appear in the "More Like This" section to the right help you?
    You could try this utility and see if that trashes any stubborn files:

  • HT201413 i have tried resetting my iphone 4 but keep getting an error code at the end (34)

    I'm not certain thats the problem. I stopped antivirus, I set screensaver to NOT trigger and yet it took me FOUR DAYS to completely sync my ipod touch. Stupid me decided to try it with the iPad and guess what...it's been three days and STILL timing out.
    I don't think Steve Jobs died; I think they upgraded him to iOS5, he crashed and they could not restore him.
    THIS UPGRADE *****. They rushed it out the door to get the fancy-dancy voice command thing on the iphones and yet that feature does not help ipod or ipad users.

  • How do you get rid of "are you sure you want to empty the trash"

    how do you get rid of "are you sure you want to empty the trash"
    When I control click to empty the trash it always pop out the annoying message...
    is there any way?
    Thanks

    you mean at system preferences?
    No. Finder has its own preferences.
    I cannot find the finders advanced preferences
    Click the Finder icon in the dock, click "Finder" in the menu bar, then "Preferences", then the "Advanced" tab.

    i can't seem tp sync my old ipod touch to my new laptop. it says i need to upgrade my itunes on the ipod but i get an error. what do i do?

    Not good
    Error (-1)
    Try on another computer
    Also see:
    iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
    Then see:
    -1 error
    -1 error too
    If still problem  that means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I erased all content and settings from i phone because my dad gave it to me i press and hold both buttons i conected it to the itunes but it tells me its not available and my iphone doesnt open what shall i do?

    Do you have a SIM in the phone? A SIM is required to activate the phone.
    If you do, ask your dad if the phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.

  • I downloaded an album and it shows up on all my devices but on my iPhone 5 there is the cloud icon on most of the songs but when I tap it nothing happens and I can't play the song.

    I downloaded an album and it shows up on all my devices but on my iPhone 5 there is the cloud icon on most of the songs but when I tap it nothing happens and I can't play the song. All the songs play on my iPad and MacBook. It seems like my iPhone will not let me download the rest of the songs, and I have 3.5 GB of remaining space. Help!

    You're welcome.  I've never set up an alias but according to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622,
    "The text you provide becomes the email address ([email protected]). An alias must contain between 3 and 20 characters."
    This certainly implies that the alias is not required to be your registered name, and only becomes the prefix for a new @me.com address.  There might be something going on with the servers right now as they are probably very focused on getting ready for the iPhone 5 pre-order release, which is supposed to happen any minute now.  You might have better luck if you waited a while.

    Forgot my passcode lock tried to restore it but kept getting an error code 3194

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • When I clicked on the Newest version of itunes something happened and now when I try to access the itunes store I get an error (-32-12) and it says to check my conectivity.  I have three ipods and the problem is with the on line connection with itunes.

    After I clicked and downloaded the newest version of itunes I no longer am able to connect with the store. I get an error (-32-12) and it says to check the connectivity. The problem is with the on line connection. I attempted to reload itunes , still the same problem exists.

    ... and that's a new one that I wasn't expecting ...
    Okay ... lets try a complete uninstall/reinstall as per the following document:
