    Start by rebooting the iPad by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restart, ignoring the red slider if that appears.  See if that helps.

  • Illustrator CS6 crashes ,on my mac, when I use the gradient tool. Any help out there?

    My illustrator cs6 crashes when I use the gradient tool. I'm using a mac with mac os 10.9.3.
    This driving me mad... any help out there?

    mr.roo,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Z77a-gd65-having issues running 2 gtx 560 sc in sli--any help out there???

    I just built this unit last night and I have a issue that is beyond me....Normally I just throw them together and throw to cards in download all the drivers and turn on sli.......
    But with this one the driver keeps crashing and I have no idea what it is--everything is brand new....

    It only does this in sli......Right now I have only one card in and i took the other card out...so far no issues......I just can not figure it out..
    I tried a new sli brindge and that did not work....Than I switched power supply to 850 from a 750 and that did not work....each 6 pin has it own power rail..nothing brindged on the cable.....Is there a setting In bios I am missing............
    Help me out guys....I am at a loss..I really want to run 2 cards.....will be testing the single card for a few more hours and that I will swap it out with the other.....But am I missing something.....Voltage on each card is kind of weird I guess..1.00 volts to .850........

    Quote
    I know this is besides the point...But you learn something new everyday.....so far no crash....Only difference---I have 2 sticks of ram and not 4....I really would like to know more about this. as of right now. I want to just leave the 2 sticks and make 100% sure the cards are not the issue. You would figure with this set up...I should not have any issues like that what so ever......so why would the i7 3770k have issue like this? Is it know to have problems like that? I even spent the extra cash on this build....now I am second guessing my choice. should have stuck with the z77a-gd55 or lower.    So you think the cpu was having issue with the IMC and bandwidth...Talk about weird....I will keep testing like it is right now and than tmr-try uping the voltage & I/O.....I need to make 100% sure its not my cards...
    I think you mis-understood (as i wasn't clear)
    Set the voltage to 1.65 & 1.1 and install all 4 sticks and re-test.
    I wasn't saying the cpu was broken or anything like that. What I was getting at was that the Integrated Memory Controller on dual channel machines sometime have a bit of trouble with all of the band width when hooked up to quad channel. Can also be cause by the memory itself as Froggy was saying:
    Quote
    Test the other two sticks individually in the primary DIMM slot to see if one or both are faulty.
    Virtu-MVP was an exciting idea that hasn't really worked as well as it should due to a lack of support from LUCID. I disabled mine long ago due to nusiance issues.
    Quote
    Right now---since I have taken out the 2 extra sticks of Ram.....I have not had a single crash..."2 hours".I even turn up the stick to the suggested 1600...Running great...I am a firm believer if it an't broke.....Leave it alone>>>>>>>>>>LOL!!!!!I like the way it is running....
    If this is the case, you can reset the dramv and I/o voltage to "Auto".
    Perhaps even enable the XMP profile of the ram.

  • I am having trouble with my new Mac....Help please

    I just got a new Mac G4 from my neighbor, who happens to be older, so the computer is still in great condition. The only problem is, he doesn't remember the login password! So I can start the computer, but I can't actually login. And I've tried to put the Panther reboot disc in and the restart it, but it doesn't do anything. None of the discs will even try to load when I put them in to restart the computer. Its not like the HP computer I have, whereas if I put the reboot disc in it actually works.
    This is my first Mac computer and I'm not really familiar with them that much, so if some one could point me in the right direction, other than taking it to an actual retailer and having to pay them a bundle of money to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it.

  • I am having trouble with rules in mac mail. The first rule window shows but i cannot open a second filter rule!!

    Hi
    I am trying to create rules that would copy the incoming email to a cloud folder ( depending on sender ) and move the actual email from the inbox to a local folder on my laptop.
    The problem i seem to be having is the first rule ( regardless of whether it is copy or move ) shows ok but when i press the + button it does not bring up a new filter window as it used to.
    Totally confused on this one, can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Oh, latest versions of everything!!!!

    I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
    Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
    If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
    In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
    Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

  • Having trouble with connection between Mac and My Book Live

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me with a rather frustrating issue. I have issues with the connection between a mac and the MBL. Trawling through the internet, all comments and issues regarding this relate to Time Machine. I do not use Time Machine, but have a different issue. 
    I have a WD My Book Live, connected through home Router. I have, for the past couple of years, been using it to store all my music collection on. I use Itunes on a Mac Book Pro, and point the Itunes Folder to the MBL. This has worked fine....until.....I upgraded to OSX Mavericks......oh dear.
    Now, the connection is unusably slow, even when using Finder to view the contents of the MBL, it takes forever for anyhting to even show in the Finder Screen. Then, when I open Itunes it becomes even slower. Music will not play, it keeps stopping and starting, and trying to add music to the library takes hours.
    So, can anyone help with what the issue could be. I have updated the Firmware on the MBL, as well as updated the Mac.
    I also have a Window laptop and it is super speedy when viewing the MBL.
    Thanks

    Sadly that didnt seem to it. It is something to do with Itunes. Without Itunes open the connection is acceptable (still nothing like a Windows connection to the MBL, but acceptable I guess), but as soon as Itunes is open, it becomes slow, I am into day 2 of adding music to Itunes (not actually moving files, just building the library)

  • Having trouble with international sim. Purchased phone unlocked, no contract from Apple store in Australia. Living in Denmark now and phone won't accept Danish sims. Guys in phone shop say phone is actually locked. Any hints would be welcome.

    Purchased phone (3GS) unlocked, outright so no contract from Apple store in Australia.
    Living in Denmark now and phone won't accept Danish sims. Guys in phone shop say phone is actually locked and he doesn't understand how it could be if it was supposed to be off contract. Software updates have been done regularly.  They think that it shouldn't come up "connect to iTunes" when the Danish sim is installed.
    Any hints would be welcome.

    Hi Peter
    Yes - it was from a proper Apple Store.
    I only purchased the unit - no special requests and then went to O2 and hooked up with a scolling monthly sim.
    I used that sim for about 6 months and then moved out here.  I took on two PAYG sims, one for Qatar and one for UAE but neither are accepted.
    When connect to my mbp, the phone screen shows the iphone connect cable and iTunes picks it up. The message then says " must insert original sim to register"  My point - the original sim, was completely independant from the phone but I cant get past this point to do anything further.
    Any thoughts?
