I have had my computer for about 6 months now, and notice my mac is starting to slow down. any ideas?

Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference? After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

I recently did the latest update for my MacBook Air and when I use a specific website it won't open the popup blocker at a normal size. Any ideas on how to keep the popup blocker at the size that I select?

This is a user to user forum and Adobe Staff does drop by.
First thing to try is Reset the Type Tool by right-clicking on its' icon in the Options bar.
If you still have problems, it could be related to fonts. Here is a step by step troubleshooting help doc for that.

WINDOWS?
Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try

Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer?

Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer? I don't use the phone that much and the battery does not last all day. Phone is new.

Many suggestions can be found here
1. turn off push email and use fetch or manual fetch instead.
2. turn off or at least limit notifications
3. limit use of apps that use location services (eg. maps app - heavy power useage when running).
4. in General->About->Diagnostics & Usage, turn off Automatic sending.
5. Privacy->Location Services->System Services, disable everything (none of it need be running for normal use).
6. Wifi, turn off "Ask to Join Networks" so your device is not polling all open networks it finds.
7. keep brightness as low as you can get by with.
Finally, get a car charger, and a second charger for work/school and just plug in whenever it is convenient to do so.
Or, if it suits your daily routine better, get an external battery power brick or case and charge it periodically from that.

Select all the photos that you need to change, then click the "Photos" menu and choose "Adjust Date and Time".
If you add a year, it will adjust all the photos that you selected by adding a year (so if you accidentally select one of the photos that already has "2012", that will change to "2013").

Nichelle,
You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
Insert > Shape > Rectangle
In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem?

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem? I've copied the logs that I found for each kernel panic that still have the message logged. Please help if you can, I have read some of the other comments and perhaps it has something to do with my anti-virus software being on at start up. I have copied the log here. Any advice will be welcome.

Two experiments you can try.
1. Boot in safe mode and see if you can shut down normally. All thise additions won't be running in safe mode so this test would indicate it is one of them causing the problem.
2. Uninstall all the intego VirusBarrier stuff. That's my first guess and the troublemaker.

Where can I find a copy of that? Like if I were to completely delete everything on my ipod, what would I do to go about restoring my songs?
Also I have a theory that one of the videos on my ipod is causing all the other stuff. However, I can't delete videos off my ipod (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/20313736?ac_cid=tw123456#20313736). Is there any way i can get the music from the backup but not the videos?

When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it. Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad?

When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it. The iPhoto window opens up and reads the photos on the iPad, so it is connecting to the computer. Earlier today I wasn't having any problems. I have shut down the iPad and the computer and started over, but that didn't help. Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad so I can update the apps on it?

Hi, is the problem just to update your apps on your iPad? Here is what you should check. Is the iTunes on your computer updated to the latest version? Does your iPad needs to be updated? Do you have enough storage on your iPad to do the update? On your device is your iCloud back up checked?
Go to Settings - iCloud - Backup/Storage - see if its checked, and try unchecking it before connecting it to the computer.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Any ideas on how to control the amount of sustain pedal data that Logic Pro 9 records? Every time I press the sustain pedal down, it records 4 sustains. Same thing when I release the pedal. Thanks!

This gets confusing, you have two Macs with different issues and two pedals with different issues? First let's sort out what's what. So, do the issues come from the pedals or from the Mac software? To find out, simply switch the pedals and note their behaviour. No change: it's the software, change: it's the pedals (imho the most likely scenario).
Second, what kind of pedals are they? Can you name the type of pedal too? The Yamaha what and the Mgear which?
Third, with the 4 fold data problem, are the doubled events simultaneous, or a few ticks apart, or more?
Also, you have no MIDI keyboard? Are the pedals both "standalone"?
I think you have to sort this problem at its' source, which are the pedals. You could, if push really comes to shove, perhaps create some sort of ingeneous/elaborate transformer setup in the environment to filter the extra messages, although with the 4/4 sustain events that may not even be possible. With the "stepped" events you could set up a filter to just block all events with values 20-110 or so.
But much better would be to configure the pedal(s) correctly.

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

HT203180 I recently downloaded the simpsons in hd. After downloading it will not synch the shows with my ipad, touch or ipod. Any ideas on how to synch the shows? I have previously downloaded show and had no issues.

I cant seem to be able to transfer a recent purchase from itunes store to my ipad. Any ideas on how to transfer a hd tv show to my ipad? I have enough room for the download but get an error saying the ipad can not play back the video. Any thoughts or guidance would be appreicated.

The only thing i could think of would be that it is in the wrong file format, maybe you could try converting the files?

Timer option changed to 'Stop Playing' from 'Sleep iphone'. Any idea on how to get the Sleep ipone.

In the iPhone 4S under the Timer, for the Option, When 'Timer Ends' it used to be a 'Sleep iphone'. After the iOS 5.1 update, I think, it is now changed to 'Stop Playing', which only stops the Music. Any idea how to - put the phone to Sleep mode.

Thanks again Norman.
I desperately set about checking the option you provided, but good to know that you have noticed the same thing.
Yes we might need to wait for the update from Apple, but I am not sure how will this be noticed and acted upon.
The sleep option was very good to have, because it took care of the other apps for streaming music etc, and would stop all of them. Would you suggest anyway of raising it to the Support people?
