2 days ago both mine and my daughter's macs stopped being able to open up the apple start up page

2 days ago both mine and my daughter's macs stopped being able to open up the apple start up page, search google, yahoo, facebook and many other sites. Pictures won't download on sites and we are redirected to http://www.website-unavailable.com/main?url=www.apple.com%2Fstartpage&w=1280&h=6 21&ifc=0# with an orange O in front, which is OpenDNS Guide page.  We live in NW England, has anyone else had similar problems and any suggestions how we can resolve our problem?

Have you tried another browser (chrome, firefox, and checked your router for blocked websites?) and also quit Safari and reopened? Also reset your cookies (Safari > Preferences... > Privacy ), or reset Safari (Safari > Reset..), or Empty Cache (Safari > Empty).

  • I tried to reset my iPad, and it has not got past the apple start up page

    I tried to reset my iPad, and it has not got past the apple start up in several hours. I've tried connecting it to itunes but its not detected.
    What can I do?

    I assume that you mean that all you see on the screen is the Apple logo and it hasn't changed for hours from that screen. You may need to restore using recovery mode, since your iPad is not being recognized in iTunes.
    Instructions here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    But - did you try this first?
    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.

  • I stopped being able to open Adobe CC and Adobe CS6 Master Collection after installing Adobe CC

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe CS6 Master Collection and Adobe CC multiple times only to have them a few days later fail to open any programs.  Adobe CC also starts prompting for Adobe ID, but will not accept the ID and loops back.   Has anyone seen this before?    Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit. 

    first, fix your adobe cc:  You are no longer signed into your Creative Cloud applications

  • Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for two batches of photos and now they are missing. They were not deleted by anyone, and even if they were, they were not found in my trash can. What happened? They were erased from my camera, so I am upset.

    Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for 2 batches of photos I downloaded from my camera to iphotos but now both are missing.  They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan. I have looked through every folder and they are not there. Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? Thank you.

    How do you know they were not deleted? Is it possible that they were moved to the trash and the trash has been emptied, if not by you, perhaps by someone else?
    In the best case, you mean they were not deleted from your camera.  If so, it will be simple to merely download again from your camera after you have corrected any problem with your Mac or workflow.
    If you have a way to be certain that your two folders were not deleted from your Mac,  follow the directions provided by your Mac's Disk Utility to repair your Disk (not Disk Permissions.)  On more than one occasion, disk repair has restored the visibility of missing folders I knew I had not deleted.  If you have trouble with the process, post back which specific Mac OS version ( > About This Mac) you are using so we can offer specific help.
    It is also possible that the missing folders might be saved somewhere you do not expect them to be.
    It is also possible that they may merely be invisible and, thus, not showing in your Finder windows even after performing a Disk Repair.
    Here are some more ideas you can consider:
    Restart Mac and then look where you expect the folders to be.  They may be visible there now.
    If not, try a Spotlight search for the folder name(s) you used.  Spotlight may give you a list of places to look.  If you don't remember the folder name(s), try a search for the file type your camera uses for saved images.  My cameras save "jpg" files, but yours may save other image file types. 
    You can also open a finder window and use the window's search oval to search.  The method allows you to use the search "+" button to add invisible items via the "File Visibility"  choice.
    debbie5891 wrote:... I have looked through every folder and they are not there....
    If you are using any version of Mac OS X, I doubt this statement can be true.
    If you select your disk volume name (not the Media item) in the sidebar of your Mac's Disk Utility, you will see that the number of Folders and files on your disk is very large.  For example,I keep my startup disk small and write most of my files to other disks.  Even so, my startup disk contains more than 195,000 folders.
    If you mean you used some software to search each folder, please post back the name of the app you are using.
    debbie5891 wrote: ... Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? ...
    I have not had the problem you describe, nor have I heard of such an iPhoto Bug.
    I have used every version of iPhoto I have seen including the current new version: iPhoto '11 version 9.5 (902.7).  You can find the version you are using by executing the iPhoto > About iPhoto menu command and post it back here.
    debbie5891 wrote:... Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? ...
    I am not aware of any Apple apps that work specifically on photo files.  If you know the pathname to the lost files, and if you are comfortable with Unix commands, you might be able to use your Mac's Terminal utility to retrieve at least some of your images.  However, it will be MUCH simpler to merely download another copy from your camera.
    You can search the Mac App Store for "unerase" to find several apps that can unerase files, including deleted photo files, in certain circumstances even after the trash has been emptied.  To determine whether one or more of them may meet your needs, see their product info and reviews for specifics about each one.
    debbie5891 wrote:...Thank you.
    You're most welcome.
    If you need to post back for more information, please provide specifics on your Mac OS, iPhoto version, which of the suggestions offered here you have tried, and any details not already provided about the problem status.

  • My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • How do i get both mine and my wifes iPhones to photo stream. hers is the only one doing it

    how do i get both mine and my wifes iPhones to photo stream. hers is the only one doing it

    The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

    Okay so about four days ago my ipad says it has apps to update but whenever i go to the update apps page it will not load and i have tried rebooting signing out but nothing will work, any suggestions?

    If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

  • How do you update an apps on iPad when it says "this update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID.  I have tried both mine and my husbands ID and it still won't work?

    I have tried to update an apps on my mini iPad but it says this update is for an app downloaded with a diffrent Apple ID.  Sign in with that Apple ID and try again.  I have tried both mine and my husbands ID and it still does not work.

    We'll you can either do as Niel suggested, delete it and download it again with one of the two Apple ID's, or if you want to be sure that one of the two you actually bought the app, look in the purchased tab of the App Store when you are signed into your ID and see if the app shows up in there and if not, then sign into your husband's ID and see if the app shows up with his ID.
    After you you figure out who actually bought the app, use that ID to update it. If it still doesn't work, try signing out of that ID, restart the iPad, sign in again and try to update again.

  • When I open Mail the fans start up and only stop when I close it. This started about 2 days ago. In addition, Safari is often very very slow. What to do?

    When I open Mail the fans start up and only stop when Mail closes. This began two days ago.
    Previous to that I never had any problems with Mail; but Safari has been very slow on occasions. I don't know if the 2 pbs are linked.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I have a datetime axis stuck on 1970  for both min and max..

    I have a datetime axis stuck on 1970 for both min and max..
    The lineseries dataprovider has an array collection with objects
    with each object having a dateAdded2 attribute of format mm/dd/yyyy
    and the dates are in this year 2008. the objects also have an
    attribute called amount which is a number.
    eg
    object.dateAdded2 = "07/14/2008"
    object.amount =5
    Anyone with any idea what is going wrong? Similar type of
    data works fine in my other charts.

    Pull the CPU cover and look for leaks from the LCS.

    Sounds like your sharing the same apple id.  settings - message -  send&receive - make sure the cell number is the default for both phones.

  • HELP!!!! iCloud synced all contacts calendar etc to both mine and my mothers account due to shared apple id HELP ME!!

    Okay so me and my mom have both downloaded the new iPhone update and now she has both her contacts and mine along with my calendar info and more. We both think its due to iCloud seeming as it didn't happen before we set it up. It is a nightmare and we just want it FIXED!. We have tried turning them off individually such as the contacts and the calendar yet they still were there! next we tried pressing the option that deleted them all from iCloud yet it just deleted all of out contacts so we turned it back on.
    What is going on??????
    I just want her contacts and calendar information GONE i really dont want me texting my nan thinking its my mom cus its written as mom mobile for both mine and hers AAAAH.

    You will have to have two separate Apple IDs to keep each of your sets of data separate.  I assume your Mom has her own computer and/or Apple ID so you can buy all that music without her knowing about it.  Just go to "settings" and then "Mail, contcts, and calendars".  Click on the icloud account and remove it from your device.  Then create a new icloud account using your Apple user name and ID (assuming it is seperate from your Mom's Apple user name and ID.  Your devise should begin syncing just your stuff to your device.  This is all predicated (again) on you and your Mommy having separate contact lists, email accounts, calendars, etc. - and MOST IMPORTANTLY - (did I already say this?) separate user names and Apple IDs.

    I recently bought a KoboGlo ereader. Several days ago I bought an ebook from Booktopia. However I was unable to download the ebook onto my new ereader. I was told that I needed to load Adobe DRM which I did. When I contacted Booktopia they told me that when I authorised my Adobe DRM I should have  "select 'Booktopia' next to Vendor ID, and then log in using your Booktopia account details ie email address [email protected] and your Booktopia password as the password."
    I erased my Adobe DRM software from my computer and reloaded it but I seem to be unable to convince your software that I want to start over... it keeps telling me that I am using an ID and password that was used to authorise another computer!
    What do I do?

    In order to make your posts easier to read I suggest that you not type in all caps.
    The operating system on your Gateway system is Windows based, as are all of the applications that you had installed. Your iMac uses the Mac OS X operating system. The applications on your external hard drive that you pulled from the Gateway system will not directly run on your iMac. One option is to purchase Mac OS X versions of the software where possible, or your can install Window's on your iMac and have the capability to use both Mac OS X and Windows.
    Since you are a new Mac user it may be best to go back to your place of purchase and spend some time learning about your options for transferring your data and options. According to the Stamps.Com website, they apparently don't make a Mac OS X version of the software, but they supposedly allow you to print directly using the Mac's web browser. Microsoft sells a Mac OS X version of their Office suite which you can view at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products.
    Here's some more information that helps people like you who are converting from Window's to the the Mac OS X environment. There is some learning to do, but like me, I think you'll like it once you have everything configured correctly.

    Sarah,
    Presuming CS6 purchased (as perpetual licence), you should ask Adobe (or the independent seller) for it.
    Have you registered it?
