My iMac is reading everything, with no App open. How do i get it to shut up?
What would make it speak with no app open?
Maqybe you accidently pressed the Apple/Command key, and the F5 key at the same time?
That turns on Voiceover.

I recently switched from a MacBook Air to MacBook Pro. When I transferred my Adobe Creative Cloud account to the MBP, I started having "User Privileges" problems with Photoshop. Adobe Support suggested I create a new AdMin User. I did that, but when I logged on as the new AdMin User, all of my settings were off. None of my apps were in the Dock; none of my apps were in the control bar. I "believe" all my apps are there (by the way, this did eliminate the User Privileges problems with Photoshop.) However, none of defaults from the other "Account Name" are available. I basically want to duplicate the same hard drive with the new AdMin User account. Is that possible?

There are basically two levels in installing applications.
1: Applications folder, which is for global use across accounts.
2: User account specific, which includes Finder menulets, some browsers or any app that's sit's in the user account folders instead of being in the global Applications folder or it's sub-folders (like Utilities)
When you created the new Admin account, it comes like a brand new account, the basic items in the Dock and so forth.
When you installed software, it might have put those shortcut items in the Dock and elsewhere for you out of convenience. Also when Adobe installed it installed globally for all users, and each available user account (at the time of install) it placed the Dock shortcuts most likely.
To place a shortcut item into the Dock
Open your Applications folder, find the app and drag it's icon to the Dock and squeeze it in so it makes room and let go, it will make a copy there and put the original back into the Applications folder.
If you drop it on the Desktop by accident, put it back into the Applications folder and try again. -
Since updating my 3GS to 5.0.1 my iphone battery has gone, overnight, from 1.5 days + (with multiple open Apps) to less than half a day to completely discharge from 100%.
I desperately need to roll this install back to 5.0 but there are no resources on the internet (or this site) which indicate how I would do that.
Please help.
JYou cannot and should not go back to 5.0.
A fix is coming soon -

Morning sevagm,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Take a look at this section.
Importing photos to your computer
Best of luck,

The app store keeps popping up (with an app to download) while using other apps. It is getting incredibly annoying. I am currently using the QR reader app. How do I get it to stop?
you can try a soft reset, or u can try to turn it off and then back on. Or take it to the apple store and see what they say about it. Hope this helps

I have an iTunes with music and videos. My wife has an iPhone with music and apps. How do I get both on our iPad2?
Without syncing to just one account?
We each have our own laptops.Hmm.
Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad? -
I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????
There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads. -
I had to reset my iphone after it backed up everything on my computer. How do I get all my old apps to reload on my iphone?
Thank you, I was able to figure it out. I had to go to the advanced section and then go to the back up for the day before I reset the phone.

I updated my iphone backed up everything but once it updated I turned on my phone and everything was wipped out!! my contacts gone, my apps gone, how do I get them back
Try going to file-devices-restore from backup, if you dont have a backup then you may redownload past purchases (movies, music, apps, etc) from their respective stores by visiting "purchased" section.

Upgraded to IO6, seems like the amount of system memory to run is higher, this causes issues with some Apps. I can't get SIRI to work because the amount of free system memory is not enough. how can I tell what is eating the system memory?

When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed," and after clicking ok there is another box saying "The server responded with an error." How do I get rid of this. The calendar functions all right, but just have to close both of those boxes after doing any action in the calendar app.
Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.
Step 1
From the Calendar menu bar, select
Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked
Enable this account
Then check the box again. Test.
Step 2
Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.
Step 3
If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.
Step 4
Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
I SWITCHED PHONES WITH MY WIFE. I WENT INTO SETTINGS AND STORE TO CHANGE THE APPLID BUT IT STILL USES MY WIFE'S APPLID WHEN UPDATING APPS. HOW DO I GET THE APP STORE TO DEFAULT TO MY APPLID?
Any apps that are on the iPhone which were bought / downloaded via your wife's account are tied to her account - so only her account can download updates to those apps. If you remove all her apps and just put yours on then you should be ok.

Renewed my subscription with the Sun app, was charged £0.69 but app won't load seem that I am not the only one having issue with this app. How can I claim my money back?
It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?
