my computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings, all of their diagnostics, and they even sent it to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple, especially iPhoto which is seems to refuse to load and then begins freezing up all over again. Anyone else have this problem. Other than this, I have had absolutely no problems with this computer. Now, it's a file of junk.

Hi Ronald ...
Have you checked lately to see how much free space there is on the disk? Especially since iPhoto freezes at launch ...
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
And make sure the OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click:   Software Update
If you have anti virus software installed or are using third party Mac cleaning utiliites, that may be part and parcel of the your problems.

  • My computer has been stuck on "running package scripts" for hours.

    Hi, earlier tonight I tried to update my iTunes so I could in turn update my iPhone. My computer said I had 3 available updates, iTunes, Safari, and some type of security thing (I havent updated in a while.) So I I installed and restarted. It seemed to be going fine. But it's been about 2 hours since the restart and I am still on a grey screen with a pop up that says " Installing 3 items" "running package scripts" and the blue progress bar is about 3/4 of the way, which it has been since I started checking over an hour ago. Anyone have any ideas on how to go about fixing this problem? Thanks.

  • I recently changed wireless providers and now have new e-mail address.  changed profiles everywhere including Apple ID.  On my iphone, old email address still appears when I try to access itunes or update apps. How do I get new apple id to sync with phone

    I updated profiles everywhere including Apple ID.  However on my iphone,. when I need to update apps or do antyhing through itunes store, my old email address appears.

    follow directions given in the link to change your Apple ID to the new email address.
    Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    sign out of your Apple ID on the phone, then sign in with the new Apple ID and password.

  • I believe my computer has been hacked.

    I belong to a google group and receive emails from the group.  I was told by the adminstrator (University of Illinois)  that my computer was responsible for sending out spam and that I should change my password.  Excatly what should I do if my computer has been hacked?  I use yahoo for my email and sometimes directly from my mac.  I did see that my "Console" showed up on my dashboard and several lines said "swallowed up".  If anyone has an explanation as to what may have happed and how to fix it I would appreciate it.

    I doubt your computer has been hacked, it's more likely that your email account has been hacked. There's big business in firstly finding email addresses and secondly cracking them, either through Windows malware, password guessing or exploits against the email provider. Change your email password, and to be sure, your Mac's password.

  • HT5318 Ever since I updated what looked like iTunes 10.6.1 my computer has been corrupted with Malware, which has filled up all available space on my hard drive.  What do I do to get rid of the Malware?

    Ever since I updated what looked like iTunes 10.6.1 my computer has been corrupted with Malware, which has filled up all available space on my hard drive.  What do I do to get rid of the Malware?

    First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
    Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
    First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

    is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress  itunes  doesn't recognize the feed.
    my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
    garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
    share to itunes.
    drag file to desktop.
    upload .m4a file to google drive.
    create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
    click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
    i copy this url.
    go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
    itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
    when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
    i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
    still the same error message.
    i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
    wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
    this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

    if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

  • I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    I have an IPhone 5, and of course I have used ITunes. My Computer has been completely destroyed, so I have to Purchase a new one. How can I transfer my music from my iPhone to my New PC?

    The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
    Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
    Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
    Good Luck

    If so, try disabling the ZoneAlarm extension in Tools > Addons > Extensions and see if that helps.

    My ipod shuffle disappears after I click on the icon in Itunes. I reinstalled Itunes and my computer has been updated. What else can I do?

    The shuffle icon in iTunes disappears, after you click on the icon in iTunes?  If so, if you do not click on the shuffle icon in iTunes, does it remain there indefinitely?  Are you looking at the shuffle icon in the iTunes sidebar?

  • For a while now my computer has been saying " Start up disk is nearly full", however I don't have a lot of stuff saved on the computer I moved a lot to a flash drive, and all the other stuff are songs and recently saved essays for school. Help.

    For a while now my computer has been saying " Start up disk is nearly full", however I don't have a lot of stuff saved on the computer I moved a lot to a flash drive, and all the other stuff are songs and recently saved essays for school. I have and frequently empty my trash can. I have researched this before and i see a lot of things that say get a external hard drive, but before I go and purchase one I want to make sure there is no other, simpler way, to solve this problem.

    You need an external drive so you can free up disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of earlier purchases say they are not "authorized" on this computer even though the bulk of my library works-- this is only about 5% of the total but were all purchased 9/18/2008 or before?

    New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of purchases prior to 9/18/08 are not "authorized" when I try to play them.
    They are all items I purchased from Itunes but they won't play any longer even though they show in my Itunes library.
    Doesn't work when I enter account info and password either.
    This is only about 5% of my library and many purchased items play no problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Two words, Migration Assistant. It will transfer files between two Macs using a firewire cable automagically.

    Three words, Target Disk Mode. Use a firewire cable to connect two Macs and then hold down the T key when you boot the Mac you want to transfer files from, G4 Tower. It will appear as a hard drive on the desktop of your Macbook Pro. Then you can just drag and drop the whole folder.
