All of the sudden Safari keeps closing on me for no apparent reason, often when I am trying to open a downloaded document. Any thoughts?
I would love to hear if anyone else has had this problem and if you were able to fix it and how.
Open Safari and click the Safari menu then click Reset Safari, that may help.

Hi- I keep getting an error message show up when I sync my iPhone to my Mac Book Pro. the message is that I can't copy to the Macintosh disc because I don' have enough access privileges. Then when I click ok my phone gets stuck syncing. any thoughts?
Sounds like a possible permissions issue, try repairing the permissions using Disk Utility.
You can open Disk Utility several ways.
1. Use the Spotlight in the Upper Right corner of the screen and search for it, then click it to open it.
2. Open a new finder window (File> New Window)
- Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
3. Click on the Finder
- Click 'Go' in the menu bar across the top of the screen.
- Click Utilities, then double click on Disk Utility.
Once Disk Utility is open there should be a column on the left side, the name of your hard drive should be listed there.
(By Default it is named Mac HD or Macintosh HD)
Click on it to highlight it.
There should then be a few buttons you can click
- Verify Disk Permissions
- Repair Disk Permissions
- Verify Disk
- Repair Disk
Click Repair Disk Permissions -
Working in illustrator the page just shifts over or up for no apparent reason
When I'm working in illustrator the page just shifts over or up for no apparent reason. It goes up, down to the left or right when
I'm in the middle of working. I've been on the phone with the geek squad and they are not helpful at all. Has this ever happened to anyone?
Any idea why and how I can make it stop. It's so annoying and driving me crazy. Please advise it's beyond annoying. Thanks!I think this has been brought up here a couple of times and IIRC always had sth. to do with a graphic tablet. Do you have one? And of course the usual stuff: system version, Illustrator version etc.

I have an imac and ipad. Last night the calendar was erased for no apparent reason. It remains on my ipad. what happened and how can I get the calendar dates back on my imac?
Hello Chisels,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you want to get content from your iPad to you iMac, there are a few things to try.
First check to the iPad to see if it is syncing with iCloud. To do this, go to Calendar app and click the Calendars button in the upper left hand corner. If it says iCloud, then all you need is to enable iCloud on your iMac if you are running 10.7 Lion or later. That preferences is System Preferences > iCloud, if you are
If on the iPad it says “On my iPad”, the following steps will guide you to get it back your iMac.
First, in iTunes, go to the preferences by clicking in the drop down menu iTunes > Preferences… Go to the device tab and make sure to check the box that says Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from Syncing automatically.
Then follow the steps in the following articles to make a backup and the sync the data.
For backup instructions.

The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Why does Apple TV suddenly requite HDCP for playback?
No mirroring possible, it even refuses to play films rented from iTunes.
Apple TV linked directly to HDTV via hdmi cable?Hi Seraphiel07.
I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
All connected through:
Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
I have:
1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
All comments welcome. -
So, last night while I was asleep, my iPod Touch started to restart over and over. It loads with the Apple symbol, but with a little settings cog at the bottom of it, and when it get's to the password screen, it stays there for about one second, and the process starts over again. It wont respond to being turned off or on, and the password numbers are unresponsive.
I tried pressing and holding the off button and the home button, and it turns off briefly before starting up again. It turns on without the little settings cog, but as usual, it stays at the password screen for a second, then the loop continues.
I've tried plugging it into my computer, but all that does is make it do it's little 'I'M CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER' beep every time it turns on! I don't fancy taking it to Apple to repair, as I use it every day and I don't really fancy spending the money and having to wait. If any one has had any success with this issue, I would be extremely grateful.
Any suggestions would be completely welcome - even if they're not things that have proved to work. I'm pretty desperate.Use RecBoot to kick it into recovery mode and restore it.

Itunes keeps re-uploading songs for no apparent reason
Almost every time that I sync my iPod there are 10 songs from an iTunes-purchased album that are reloaded into my iPod. They seem to be deleted and re-installed, but I can't see anything special about them. This happened with iPod 1.2 also.
Is there some flag or property that causes some songs to look new every time?It's probably a problem with the ID tags associated with the files. You can run this free program to fix the tags and see if that makes the tracks usable:

someone help please!Try resetting all the preferences to default by doing the following:
Press and hold Contol - Shift - Alt immediately after cold-starting Photoshop. You have be quick, and if you're quick enough it will prompt you to confirm deletion of the current preferences.
This corrects a surprising number of faults.
Keep in mind you'll need to reconfigure Photoshop settings that you've customized afterward.

I have an ipod touch and my computer is all of the sudden not recognising it. I cannot upload a playlist because when I plug device in. It shows up as a whole other ipod. Thank you Teresa
This Apple article might help ya out -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Make sure the iPod touch is connected straight into the computer, not into a hub. Also, make sure there aren't any other iPods connected while you're testing it. -
Web Gallery keeps updating for no apparent reason
Hi. I have a couple of pictures in the film strip, and moved to the Web module. LR 2.4 for Windows keeps updating the web gallery over and over again, for no apparent reason. It shows "Update Web Gallery" on the progress bar at the top, completes the task, and after a couple of seconds does it again, and again... . Any idea what could be triggering this unwanted behavior, and how to avoid it?
Thanks.You don't state which type of gallery (i.e. HTML or Flash) that you're using. I've only seen it happen with Flash and only when I've switched back and forth between modules. Others have reported seeing it whilst staying in the Web module. For this latter group the usual fix is to delete the preferences file.

Safari 8 - tab opens as a new window all of the sudden
So I'm using Safari 8.0.2 on Yosemite. I came across a bug (or is it a new feature?):
When I have a page opened as a new tab, sometimes, all of the sudden, this tab detaches from the main Safari window to become a new window. This happens as I move my mouse and read but I don't click on anything. I don't touch the keyboard either. it seems it just happens by itself randomly.
Anyone has experienced the same issue? I find this pretty annoying.
When it happens I would like to move this new window back as a tab of my main Safari window. I generally don't want to have multiple windows opened with Safari. I prefer to open links in multiple tabs.
I hope someone has a solution to this issue.
Thank you!What you describe happens when you drag a tab out of the tab bar. Are you sure that's not what you're doing? Is the trackpad otherwise behaving normally? Are any other pointing devices connected, such as a tablet, either via USB or Bluetooth?
