All Gawker websites cause massive slowdowns, Not Responding status (but it rarely crashes), and don't always load properly, regardless of the number of open tabs or programs.

Any time I navigate to one of the Gawker Media sites, Firefox slows down massively. The page loads extremely slowly, and the program freezes up. I often get a (Not Responding) message up at the top of the screen. Other programs on my computer are unaffected. This rarely (only twice in dozens of tries) actually crashed Firefox. It eventually comes back and everything runs fine, on that tab and others, until I try to move to or add another Gawker Media page. Occassionally the Gawker sites don't seem to load properly, but I suspect that may be an unrelated issue, caused by ABP or NoScript blocking ads or pop-ups on individual pages.

LR CC launches then freezes at flash screen, Not Responding status. have reinstalled, signed out and back in etc etc.

LR CC installed successfully. Launch, get upgrade catalog pop up, ok, Process. LR then launches then freezes at flash screen, Not Responding status. Have reinstalled, Signed out and back in etc etc. Have let it run for several hrs, no joy. Now have 9 catlogs from doign this 9 times. PS CC works fine.

I have found a solution somewhat. Not ideal, but working.
uninstalled and reinstalled for second time. Signed in to CC app, then signed out. Then opened LR CC, signed in from within that (not the CC app), the upgrade catalog pop up came up (again), then LR CC launched and worked fine, albeit bit sluggish.
signed out of LR, signed back in the CC app, lauch LR, it froze at splash screen. So tried LR5 whilst signed into CC app, it froze as well at splash screen.
SIgn out out if CC app, restart PC, launch LR5 without going through CC app, works fine. Tried LR CC direct, works fine. Tried again after sign in through CC app, froze.
so my issue appears related to the CC app.
after all this stuffing about, I am now up to catalog 13 !
so I have a solution for my problem, not ideal, but works.
two hrs in Adobe chat line did not proved the resolution.

Converting to MP3 causes iTunes to Not Respond while using 50% CPU usage and makes my computer stutter

Anytime I attempt to "Createa an MP3 Version" of a track, it will take a REALLY long time to work.
Right now I am attempting to convert an audio book I have which has 88 tracks. Once I start to convert anything more than 1 track at a time, iTunes immediatly becomes "Not Responding" and takes up about 50% of my CPU the entire time. It seems like it's doing something in the background but it won't even update the screen anymore, creating weird effects on my screen (Ghost menu bars show up at the top of my screen, etc.). In addition, once iTunes becomes non-responsive, my entire computer starts to "stutter" meaning that every other second everything momentarily hiccips and stop for a split-second. This means that while iTunes is converting any multiple MP3 files, if I drag the mouse across the screen, it stops every other second. Any videos that I try to play pause every other second briefly. Basically, my computer becomes almost unusable. Plus, while iTunes is working in the background, different programs randomly jump to the front of the screen. I will try to be using my web browser while iTunes is working in the background. Then, suddenly, iTunes pops back up to the foreground in front of my browser (put still won't be responsive to clicks). My notes program will also flash windows in front of my web browser while surfing, again, only when iTunes is running in the background.
I really don't understand:
1. Why it takes so much time to convert any file to an MP3 file. Even converting a single track takes a few minutes. I'll let my Macbook Pro (with Windows) sit for HOURS upon hours trying to convert the 88 track audio book and it always freezes up and never comes back.
2. Why iTunes becomes non-responsive so quickly and won't allow the screen to update once it starts "thinking." It caps out around 50% of my CPU power so it's not like it doesn't have the headroom to refresh the screen while it works.
3. Why does iTunes' working in the background affect every other program I am running? I don't mind if it uses up CPU cycles in the background, but if it makes my computer unusable while doing so, it's really not worth it.
I should state that I love Apple products (even though I use Windows on my MBP for school purposes). However, I absolutely DREAD having to do anything with iTunes anymore because it has become such a hog on my computer. Someone please tell me that there is something wrong with my iTunes and/or a setting I should change. I have already re-installed iTunes from scratch before and that didn't help.

Not a solution, but if the Podcast feed is dormant, why not unsubscribe?
As to the file structure for media on the device it is deliberately obscured as a countermeasure to casual piracy. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Content put on the iPod by a non-iPod aware product is going to treat it like any external drive. The iPod firmware won't read that media.

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem!

I have been noticing that when using the computer the mouse keeps going in places where I really do not want and just now select the sentence without I have done anything. Sometimes goes to places like bookmark or open tabs in website when I am reading a page.
Also I have noticed opened windows that I have not opened.
I have verified the sharing folder and also the remote access but it not let me turn it off.
Also I have add a password to my computer and even using the same one it looks like is not working.
The I photo stopped working, Mac Mail does not let me add rules (this is from one day to the other)
The computer is mine, the internet I use is payed by me with a password. I did not give permission to anyone to use my computer or share my files.
In system preferences in the sharing folder is showing everyone and staff.
My computer is private I do not own a company and I do not have a network set up in my house.
I had my photos removed from my computer and even after trying to reinstall I photo and fix the Mac Mail is not working.
I am receiving emails saying that I have sent emails to people that I do not know and including in a time where I am working and not using the computer.
Any suggestions in how to fix this issue?
I really appreciate.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

Saving after editing in elements 8 - this is painfully slow, including waiting through the "not responding" message, though after quick editing in organiser saving is very quick - what is the problem?

None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures. Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
No, that's just wasting space. A back up needs to be on a different disk.
Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

I deleted my old email address and now I can't acess icloud because I can't remember my password to the icloud account. It is not allowing me to log in obviously and now my old email is showing under the settings now do i need to reset the iphone?

I deleted my old email account and when i went to change everything on my iphone it still shows the old email even though i created a new apple id. I also can't remember the password and now can't access icloud. Do i need to reset the phone?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Hi ...
Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
From the drop down menu click Restart.
See if that makes a difference ...
