a few months ago I bought an imac 27 inch late 2013 .. §16GB - and flash memory) - 3,3 Ghz Intel Core 15
ever since I have continuously problems with my external HDD that disconnect all the time and cause problems in other software (Lightroom, Adobe PS CS6) ... it is not  a HDD problem, because it occurs with my 3TB WD HDD (Time Machine), my 1TB WD and  1TB IOMEGA
any one have a solution? anyone dealt with this problem in the apple care program?

You are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare.  Call them.  Let them deal w/it.

  • This is my 3rd macbook air and pro that kicks me out my yahoo email all the time and tells me my password is wrong when its not this been going on 2 years 3 different macs sometimes it dont do it for months after a software update

    this is my 3rd macbook air and pro that kicks me out my yahoo email all the time and tells me my password is wrong when its not this been going on 2 years 3 different macs sometimes it dont do it for months after a software update

    Don't switch email providers. Switch to another email client on your Mac. It is not Yahoo. I have 3 Yahoo accounts and never have any problems getting or sending mail from/to those accounts. But I don't use the built in Mac Mail program. I use Thunderbird. I use thunderbird on both Mac OS X and Windows. Been using it for some time now with no problems getting my Yahoo mail, Google gmail mail or form my work email account.

  • HT4623 I tried watching YouTube videos stopping all the time and starting up even bought abode flash app just bought this iPad used is it junk

    I cant get videos to just play without stooping and starting on YouTube.Should I update ISO?

    I have noted in several posts as have a few of the others here,, Bob Timmons being one who has tested it, that the new one was no better than the old ones. I bought a new AEBS 5th Gen to test against all my old TC's up to Gen 3.. IMHO they are all about the same.. and my old Thomson G wireless router beats them handsomely at the other end of the house. ie the range is to be frank, pathetic. I don't have a Mac laptop to test with.. so just concluded it needs the exact match to get results like anandtech article..
    I would do the following.
    1. Download and use 5.6 utility.. you are lucky you are still on Lion as ML no longer can use v5 utility.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    2. Set wireless names to short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric. Set a different name to 5ghz. Its range is always short.. so don't expect too much. Make sure the output is set to 100%.. and the region is correct.
    3. Lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz.. test the available channels.. in Nepal I have no idea what is allowed.. but 1, 6, 11 are the main non-overlapping channels for most of the world. Power output maybe different though and the TP-Link might be set to higher output country.. apple do not allow that. Check what country the tp-link is set to.
    4. The location of the TC must be as good as possible.. The antennas are around the 3 sides but the most important is in front.. try to place the TC so the laptop is facing the front of the TC, with nothing in between.
    I am pretty sure you are never going to get the output any higher than it is now.. I still use the old wireless G Thomson signal in the other end of the house. And even running 3 TC at once (when I am repairing power supplies.. makes no difference.. they are all invisible).
    Either return the TC as unsuitable.. or simply use it as a backup.
    The TP-Link can be used in wan bypass to provide wireless.. just turn off the TC wireless.

  • My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me mad having to put my pass code in all the time and the screen keeps going blank :( HELP!

    My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(

    I've run into the issue and it seems to be related to an app not fully supporting the iOS you're on, the reboot doesn't usually solve it.
    I've solved it in the following manner(s):
    1) Backup the device to iCloud, then erase the iPad (Content and Network Settings).
    2) Setup the iPad and choose to restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup (wherever you backed it up)
    3) Perform any software updates
    I have not tried simply performing the software updates (which may fix it, but if it doesn't you won't be able to perform the above steps).
    Enjoy.

  • IMac G5 freezes all the time and randomly

    It happens when I'm working in applications, on the desktop or when I'm booting up.
    So far I've repaired permissions, reset SMU/PRAM, tried running Disk Utility from Install Disc (let's me repair permissions but doesn't fix the problem), tried running Disc Warrior (won't allow to start from it), switch the two existing RAM chips with two new RAM ones. This happens when connected to the Internet or not. It typically happens within a few seconds to a few minutes if I'm even able to reach the desktop.
    Interestingly, the Mac passes fsck but sometimes--as the Mac freezes--I get this line in terminal.
    localhost:/ root# USBF: 96. 78 AppleUSBUHCI[0x39fd000]: attempt to resume during global suspend
    At that point the computer will be frozen solid.
    Any ideas???

    Do you recall when you last had a stable system (to identify changes that may have contributed to the issue)? Have you been running the Software Update patches to get to 10.4.11, or have you downloaded the combo updater (try downloading the 10.4.11 combo updater and rerunning it...something may have gotten corrupted in the patch updates)? Go to:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
    Do you have an external FireWire drive you can run DiskWarrior 4.0 from, if the CD won't boot it? On my Macs, I always create a separate partition to run utilities from. It's fast and convenient for running down issues. In this case, you'd be able to determine whether the issue is your user environment, or the iMac's hardware.
    If all else fails, can you perform an Archive & Install, then run the combo updater to get you back to 10.4.11, without it impacting your installed applications (some apps make changes in the System configuration that will be moved to the Previous Systems folder at the root after the A&I)?

  • MacBook Retina 13 fan goes up all the time and wlan crashes every few minutes

    Hello,
    I've got a MacBook Retina 13" Haswell edition and as soon I open any kind of app or if I just idle at the desktop the fan goes up to 100% and the temperature of the CPU goes over 90celsius all the time.
    Also my wifi connection drops all the time im not using my thunderbolt bridge which is super annoying, it can only be fixed by tuning the wifi on and off and after 10 minutes it disconnects again.
    is there any way to fix it?

    Backup your data or Home folder. Boot from your Snow Leopard installer disc. Select your language and click on the Continue button. Wait for the menubar to appear then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard drive from the DU sidebar, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended, Journaled, then click on the Erase button. When the process is finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the installation.
    After you have reinstalled OS X you can restore your data from the backup.

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes at start up all the time after few months of working well

    My problem with Photoshop started last week. It hangs (freezes) all the time and I am not able to work on it at all. I did reinstall the photoshop, created a new user on my imac, cleaned preferences and I don't have a CD in my my DVD drive, but it still crashes every time I open it. Doesn't allow me to do anything. Any suggestions? I can see the top menu items, but the moment I click on HELP it hangs. If I open a file I can't do anything with it as it freezes.
    Details as per above: Mac OS X 10.5.4, iMac, 2.4GHZ INTEL CORE 2 DUO, 2GB 667 DDR2 SD RAM - 2x1GB, 320GB Serial ATA Drive (129 GB free space), SuperDrive 8x DL, two external 500 GB hard drives (one storage and the other one for time machine backup), Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium-Photoshop CS3. All other applications from the suite work with no problems, just photoshop hangs every time i try to click anything. I have to force quit every time.
    The only new thing I did is install a new Lexmark Wi-Fi X9350 printer. Would this be a problem?
    Thanks for any help I can get...

    Thank you, thank you and again thank you!!! It works!! I have no idea which did it but I did put ~ in front of the TWAIN.plugin and got rid of the printer. I was so upset about it and now I can smile again.... Hope it will work with no problems now...
    Did I say thank you enough...

  • Fan running all the time - 2011 21.5 inch i5 iMac

    I purchased a new 2011 21.5-inch: 2.7GHz i5 on Friday just gone (2 days ago). All was going well with the new toy until this morning (Sunday).
    Suddenly the CPU fan was running all the time and at full speed when the computer was not under any real load - very noisy.
    I have reset the PRAM and SMC several times now. Within 30 seconds of each reboot the CPU fan reaches 4000 rpm and stays there.
    When I run a hardware test I get the following error - Error 4SNS/1/C0000008:TS2p--124. This error is detected under both the quick and extended tests.
    I do have to say that I am disappointed that 2 days out of the box it looks like I am return the iMac to the Authorised Reseller.
    Can anyone confirm my understanding that:
    a) the CPU fan running loud and hard (4000 rpm) when not under load is NOT normal
    b) the Error code above relates to the logic board
    c) next step is take it back to Apple or the authorized reseller from where it was purchased.
    Cheers
    Shaun

    4SNS/1/C0000008:TS2P--124
    When U install the SSD under the optical drive(OD), the air from the OD fan that was supposed to swing under the OD to exit on the uppper vent has no where to go and hence swings across and exits mostly through the vent on the other side near the camera whereon lies a Skin sensor, which blows away/damages tricking the iMac to believe that the CPU is hot and the CPU fan starts to run at full speed of 4000rpm and the Apple hardware shows error 4SNS/1/C0000008:TS2P--124.
    This skin sensor will then need to be replaced.
    The CPU Fan cannot be controlled by any software.
    The only options available are:
    1.Change the primary HDD with a SSD.This will result in the HDD fan running at a higher speed as the SSD does not have any moving parts.The HDD fan sensor gets to believe that the HDD is hot since it does not get inputs from the SSD.Once you change to SSD you can use software to control the HDD or the Optical fans.
    2.Change the Optical Disk drive with a "SSD in a Optical Drive(OD) Caddy".This will result in the optical drive fan running at a higher speed as the SSD does not have any moving parts.The OD fan sensor gets to believe that the OD is hot since it does not get inputs from the SSD.Once you change to SSD you can use software to control the HDD or the Optical fans.
    Do not use the OWC or other dual drive kit that advice U to put a next SSD under the OD, unless ur iMac is under warranty or u have plenty of technical skills & luck.

  • Brand new iMac 3.4GHz fan runs all the time - how do I stop it?

    Hi, just opened my shiny new imac but the fan runs all the time and very loud! Has anyone any ideas how to fix this or should I return the imac to apple?
    I've also noticed that none of my external drive icon show up on the desktop - nor does the imac hardrive icon appear - any ideas?
    Thank you in anticipaction.

    Try an SMC reset, you may need to do it at least 2x.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
