All Apple software is responding strangely - how do I fix this?
All apple software on my macbook has started to respond strangely. Logic Pro, Finder, Photobooth, Safari etc. They all keep freezing, or they stop responding, or they open but don't work properly. For example, safari keeps going blank (i.e. the search bars go blank, all bookmarks disappear). Photobooth just straight up didn't appear on screen until about the 5th relaunch. Logic keeps making everything go blank too, and garageband won't even open. How do I fix this problem?
Is it a virus, or do I have some kind of strange software issue?
I have software updated, and tried rebooting but still the problem persists.

iMac Computer using 10.7.5, running iTunes 11.1.5, and using an iPad 2 with os 7.1 . I have over 300 movies in my library and when I share using video on the iPad, the titles covers are all on the wrong movies. How do I fix this?
Hi Michael,
I'm glad iTunes is working now! If you want to locate iTunes plug-ins on your computer, you can find them in the following locations (you may not have the iTunes Plug-ins folder if you do not have plug-ins):
Mac:
/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
One thing I also wanted to mention is that the "Users/username/Library" is hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion. You can access it using these steps:
OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
You can find the full article here:
OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?

In the new IOS 7, my IMessage and FaceTime won't let me log in using the correct Apple ID and password. How can I fix this?
Other users have reported same problem with 4G iPod/iOS 6.1.6 and I have not seen a solution. One user reported yesterday or the day before that it just started working again.

When anyone sends me a Word document via email as an attachment and I attempt to print it out, my printer always spits out a blank page. All Word documents seem to arrive using Times New Roman font. I must then return to the document, select all, reassign a different font, and it then prints okay. How can I fix this? It appears that Times New Roman font is part of my Font Book, and each version of the font (Italic, etc.) appears there in duplicate.
harpnt
Open the Font Book again, select the Times New Roman font set.
You'll see the duplicate warning. Select the fonts and go up to the EDIT menu,
and go down to RESOLVE DUPLICATES.
You might check for other duplicates while you're there, and resolve them.
RESTART your Mac to have the changes take effect.
Then try your docs again.

CC desktop app (OSX 10.7.5) doesn't show installed software any more. How can I fix this?

Hope somebody can help with the problem I'm having this morning. After updating the Creative Cloud Desktop app for OSX, the CC Desktop app no longer shows my installed software (Photoshop 6 & CC, Fireworks CS6, Dreamweaver CC, Illustrator CS6 & CC, Flash CS6, Muse and Edge).
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
TomPlease go to Applications>> Utilities>> Adobe Installers and see if Photoshop uninstaller is there, if not then go to Photoshop folder in applications and check uninstaller there. Uninstall Photoshop and reinstall using CC app.
If not, then download the cleaner tool from http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html and uninstall Photoshop and install it again.
Thanks!

i upgraded to a macbook pro and gave my old macbook to my daughter, we tried to get her itunes library downloaded on it and it said that there was already an apple id assigned to that computer.
we went on the new one an de authorized all computers and then tried to re load her itune library on and it still isnt working. what are we doing wrong?
i called tech support and they are useless until you are willing to pay them 269 dollars to give you the information. ive spent a smal fortune buying apple products over the last 2 years, the least they could do is answer a simple question. Please helpIt sounds to me like there are two separate processes being intertwined above:
1. Setting up your daughter's MacBook with identifying info; e.g., Apple ID for the user account on that machine.
2. Transferring the iTunes library (a very different operation).
Have you used Apple's Migration Assistant to move your daughter's information from her old machine to the MacBook? That would have avoided this whole issue.
If not, either start the process over and use Migration Assistant, or try to more carefully and precisely define exactly what you did to accomplish this transition. You said, for example, "there was already an Apple ID assigned to this computer." That statement almost certainly did not originate with iTunes. -
Hi I hope someone can help....when my husband bought his new Iphone 4, I set it up on our computer for him. However, his phone has taken on my identity for his apple ID. How do I seperate the two phones and make them both personal?
To avoide these kinds of problems my wife and I each have our own Apple ID. We also set up different user accounts on the computer we use to sync our devices.
In my wife' sac count iTunes is signed into her Apple ID and in my account iTunes is signed into my Apple ID. We also have individual music purchases etc.
One more thing that avoids confusion is to give each phone a unique name. When the phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is running on the computer double click on the phone's name in iTunes. Then type in a unique name. Mine iPhone has my name and hers has her name plus the iPhone 5 identifier.
To remove your Apple ID from your husbands phone I suggest resetting the phone and erasing all content. Then start over with the setup process. Be sure to back up any photos your husband took with his phone before you erase it.
