The color wheel just keeps spinning and won't allow me to put in my computer password to install a printer driver. How do I stop the rainbow wheel and keep going?

Why is the rainbow color wheel spinning as I try to install a downloaded printer driver? It won't even let me put in the computer password to begin the install. Help!

Disconnect the printer. Restart your Mac.
Then try downloading the drivers.
If that doesn't help, exactly which printer drivers are you trying to download and from where?

I used iphotos to create a photobook. I want to send the book to my aunt in the states but it won't allow me to do that. I was just wondering why it won't allow me to put in her address so the book can go directly to her home.

HT1533 I have an old PowerBook G4 I installed a new drive how do I load the new OS

I have an old PowerBook G4 I installed a new hard drive how do I load in the OS

You'll need the Original system discs that came with your system when you bought it or a Upgrade DVD for a newer version of OSX that you bought and installed over the top of the original version. Either should boot the system and allow you to install that version of OS X.
But you will still need the original Applications DVD to reinstall the iLife Apps.
If you do not have them you can order a Replacement set from Apple for a small charge.
To boot the system from a DVD you can either hold down the C key when starting the system, that tells the system to boot from the DVD drive, or hold down the Option key when starting and that will bring up the Boot Menu screen where you select the DVD/DVD drive as the Boot source.

What to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

what to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

Do you get any specific error messages? Double-check the following:
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

Itunes Freezes ,slow and won't allow search

When i start itunes it freezes momentarily, is very slow and won't allow me to put more than two letters in Search box before freezing. Everything else runs on pc fine.
Anybody any ideas? Using 10.2.1.1 but I've installed different versions but same problems.
Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me nuts!

Good old fashioned XP. I run it on other pc's with XP with no problems. Tried running various old versions but no luck. I'm sure it must be blindingly obvious to somebody who knows what they're doing!

How do i stop the iOS 6.1 update?

Everytime I connect to my WiFi and my computer at home or anywhere else my iPod starts downloading the new iOS 6.1 update.I don't want to update because i'm waiting for iOS 6.1.1 update.How do i stop the update?

Theres a few answers i found that could possibly work (im not sure which one actually will because i dont care if mine updates). I also posted the link i found them at incase you want to go on that thread and just read through everything incase i missed something but i dont think that i did.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4319959?start=0&tstart=0
"What I did is I did a force shut off of the iTouch by holding the home button and the sleep button at the top for 5 seconds and when I turned it back on it didn't go into the update automatically."
"I had the same problem; clicked Download and Install for iOs6 and after that realised that I wanted to keep the old iOs for testing purposes. I disabled the wifi, backed the iPhone up via iTunes and after that restored that backup (just the data, not a reinstall). This fixed it for me, the software update screen is now back to the "Download and Install" button."
This one is long but it looks like it could work.
"The stupid iOS 6 update that nobody wants needs a certain amount of free space in order to download & install. I had started the download & disabled WiFi like you did, so the download was paused. While it was paused, I set my video camera to record & it sat there & recorded for like 2.5 hours (ugh) before it finally took up all the space on my phone. Then, I went back in & enabled WiFi & checked the piece of junk iOS 6 install & it now said it couldn't download b/c there wasn't enough space.
I figured this solution still s ucks b/c now I can't download any apps or take any more pics or vids. About 30 minutes later, though, I went back to the horrible iOS 6 download & a message popped up saying there wasn't enough space. When I hit "OK" or whatever to clear the message, the screen had reset & gone back to the "download & install" button. FINALLY I was able to stop the download & installation of iOS 6. THANK GOD. I want nothing to do with it, and there is NO WAY Apple is taking my Google Maps or YouTube."
I hope that helps!

The Mac App Store prices do not include local sales taxes. The tax is added to the total before your sale is complete. Your gift card credit total is not enough to complete the sale, so you are being given the opportunity to add a bank card that will be charged the remainder of the amount. Your other option is to get another gift card and bump up the credit balance in your account.

Force Quit the app. It's under the Apple Menu.

How do I stop the spinning ball that keeps going and going and going

How do I stop the spinning ball that keeps going and going and going. I think I have to remove cookies, but I don't know how.

I think I solved it.
I searched my extensions folder (in my profile) for all image files (PNG and JPG), and found the pop-up images to be in an extension folder related to Firefox Sync (not an external extension, actually). But even though I had already disabled it and un-linked this computer from Firefox Sync, the message still popped-up.
I think the image filename was SYNC.PNG, or something like that. Close Firefox, find the folder where that image is in, and rename the main folder (the one right under the extensions folder) to some other name (such as "original name_copy"). Then start Firefox. Check if it works OK and if the pop-up ceases to appear. If everything OK, then you can delete that folder.
If something goes wrong, just rename the folder to what it was before.

Just brought my daughter an iphone and have her setup on my ID. Want to be able to see her messages and photos but dont want my info to appear on her phone. How do i stop the messages from appearing on her phone? (5's)

If you have set up photo stream, this can't be done. As soon as you switch off photo stream on her device to keep your photos from coming to her device, you won't get any as well from her. Same for messages, you can't have both, sorry.
Maybe look into the family sharing feature if you want the photos to be shared:

How do I stop the spinning wheel that replaced the cursor in a Word document?

How do I stop the spinning wheel that replaced the cursor in a Word document?

Something is causing Word to lock up. Restart the laptop and/or reinstall Office/Word to fix the instability. Maybe even a bad plugin or document could be causing this if it's only happening when you open a particular doc.

HT201210 I just updated my Ipad and I have a message that says "canot back up" and it's frozen and won't allow me to do anything.

I just updated my Ipad and I have a message that says "cannot back up" and nowv it is frozen and won't allow me to do anything. I can't even shut the Ipad off.

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

It might be that you are logged in with HTTP authentication (either basic or digest). This authentication is arranged by the browser, so you would have seen a pop-up dialog asking for a user name and password while logging in. It seems that these are cached by the browser and it requires you to restart the browser to log out...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
http://www.tolaris.com/2009/09/08/logging-out-of-http-auth-with-firefox/
Because I found that having to restart the browser quite annoying I stumbled on this question and also on the HTTP Logout add-on that allows you to log out without restarting your browser. Not many sites use HTTP Authentication, but you might give it a try.

TS3988 On my Windows laptop I updated my Apple ID and changed my pw on my laptop. I forgot my old Apple account pw. My iPhone demands the old login info and won't allow me to delete the old account

I need help managing my Apple account across my Windows laptop, iPhone 4s, and iPad iie. I updated and changed my id and pw because I changed email and forgot my old Apple pw. Neither my iPhone or iPad recognize the updates. Both demand the old account info and won't allow deletion of he old account on either device. Without the old id/pw combo, how do I access and update my Apple ID and iClount accounts for my iPhone and iPad?

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
