AOL for Mac Freezes????

AOL for Mac freezes about once a day. When this happens the wheel spins and nothing else happens. In order to regain control, I have to hit the on/off switch in back. I don't like doing this, but I can't get to reboot or restart anyother way. It happens when trying to get mail sometimes or it will just sit there and be froozen.
Help

Thanks Ali,
I have only one account and several screen names. It happens in all of them. I am using 10.3.7.
Happens sometimes before i can get to opening email. sometimes I hear the welcome sound and then the freeze sets in. I emailed aol. so far no reply.

Hi LarryJay!
Are you using AOL For Mac OS X Version
10.3.7?
Do you have more than one AOL account, and if so,
does this happen in all accounts?
Does this only happen when opening Email?
Also, as you have incorrectly shutdown a number of
times, I suggest that you run Repair Disk.

Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze?

Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze (makes spinning circle loading) and doesn't stop when I am asked to select my country/region? I already had trouble downloading it originally because there was an error downloading, and then the following image happens (note: the screenshot couldn't capture the spinning circle freeze, but just look at the "application not responding" message below):
Why does this happen? I downloaded and opened photoshop elements 10 (that came with the bundle) fine, but I can't open this.
For reference, I am using a mac book pro from 2012 that is 64bit on OS X 10.8.5.
Edit: Also, for the aforementioned error that I was getting earlier when installing, I would try to install and then half way through it said that the download failed. I had to follow the second method to fix in this link:

I do not think we are in sync yet, but I will need to sign off soon. It is about 1 am where I am.
1. Not sure what you mean by 2 warranty licenses that the CD comes ith in the package.
If you purchased the Premiere Elements 10 Mac in boxed packaging, then you should have an installation disc and a purchased serial number. You cannot lose that. You can install and reinstall the program when you need to do so. There is no limit on uninstalling or reinstalling. The only limit is Adobe allows you to have your purchased serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. We can talk about it some more if necessary but there is a distinction between Deactivate and Uninstall. There has not been a limit on Deactivations in years.
Another approach if you think your installation files or disc is corrupt is to download tryout files from the following web site and then install from them and insert you purchased serial number at installation.
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
You have to read the Note: Very Important Instructions very carefully otherwise you end up with Access Denied.
If you think that we are now in sync, then I would suggest
a. Delete the preference file (settings file)
or
b. Deactivate, uninstall, ccleaner run through, reinstall as per your instructions that worked for you.
I will be watching for further details in the morning. Hopefully some of the Premiere Elements Mac users will join the thread to give the Mac perspective to the situation.
Thanks.

Trying to Restore or Open AOL-For-Mac Filing Cabinet

I had to reinstall AOL for Mac, so before doing so and losing all the AOL mail that was in my filing cabinet, I copied the filing cabinet to my Mac desktop. It is now there, and it contains over 3 megabytes, so I know my mail is sitting there on my desktop. But when I try to get it back into AOL I cannot, and while it shows up in Finder, I can't do anything with it.
I have also tried, unsuccessfully, to move it to Mail.
Any ideas?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Welcome To Discussions Alpsteiner!
Did you move the file named Your AOL Screen Name's Filing Cabinet, from;
HD > Users > Shared > America Online: HERE?
In that same location, do you now have a new file named Your AOL Screen Name's Filing Cabinet, that is much smaller?

AOL for Mac Question

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this thread, but I couldn't find a proper place anywhere else. I downloaded AOL for Mac and it works pretty good, the only problem I've had with it is in checking people's profiles. Whenever I do put someone's screen name in the profile-checker text bar and hit enter, it always, no matter what the screen name, brings up a blank web page with nothing but an aster ix (*) on it. That's it. What's the solution?

If you downloaded & installed AIM 4.7, go to the bottom of the website & click on the Support link. If still having problems, cross-post over in one of the iChat AV Forums where the AIM users hang out.
Did you repair permissions after installing AIM?

AOL for MAC OS

Hi - i subscribe to AOL & have just installed AOL for MAC OS on my ibook. I live in the UK but it seems that the AOL SOFTWARE is linked to servers in the USA....so when I log-on the welcome page it assumes i'm in America. Does anyone out there (in the UK)use AOL on their MAC whose welcome page points to aol.co.uk rather than aol.com? Can anyone help me adjust my settings OR is there a UK version of AOL software for MAC? Any advice much appreciated.

Under AOL at the top of the screen click on preferences.
Then in the new window click on www on the left hand side.
The in the homepage text box enter www.aol.co.uk.
Job done
Also check you regonal settings in system preferences (international and date and time). If you mac is still set to US and not GB then AOL will default to the US server rather than the UK server.
Once set to GB even if you type aol.com you will get a redirect to the UK server.

AOL for mac crashing?

I often notice that when I restart my macbook, there is a "recovered files" folder in the trash. Many of the files appear to be from aol for mac. Could this mean that aol is crashing or not closing correctly, and if so, how can I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance?

Rich,
"...is there any way of preventing this from
happening?".
I'm not sure about recovered items from applications
other than AOL, and I haven't tested this
theory yet, but maybe, if from AOL Preferences
WWW > Display:
you select Empty Cache Now, and click
OK, the AOL files will not appear after
a restart.
And Thank You, for extending the
courtesy, of awarding stars in
Discussions!

Wow!! That absolutely worked. I went into the WWW settings and emptied the cache and then disabled the feature altogether. No more recovered items folder in the trash
Like magic!!
Thanks alot for your help!!!

Microsoft Word for Mac Freezes During Time Machine Backup

Since upgrading to Lion, I have found that when Time Machine is performing a backup that word for Mac freezes. I have all software updates for both Mac and MS. Running on 17" MacBook Pro.
Any ideas?
This appears to be the same issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2403912?start=0&tstart=0
Thanks in advance.

The Time Machine backup data on the network device is corrupt. The first thing you should do, if that's your only backup, is to make another complete backup to a locally attached storage device. One backup is never enough to be safe. Network backups are less reliable than local ones.
After that, hold down the option key and select Verify Backups from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar (not the Dock icon.) This operation may take a long time. If the menu-bar icon (a clock that runs backwards) isn't showing, check Show Time Machine in menu bar in the preferences.
If you continue to get panics, erase the backup device. With an AirPort device, you do that from within the AirPort Utility application; see its built-in help for details. All backups will be lost, so don't do this until you've backed up to another device. After erasing, select the device again as a backup destination in the Time Machine preference pane. The first backup should be made over a wired connection, if possible.
If you still have problems after erasing the device, it should be replaced.

Where can I find an old version of AOL for mac?

Is there anywhere online to locate an old version of AOL for the Mac? I'm not interested in the Desktop version, but one that will allow me to get into the chat rooms.

BB for Mac freezing when trying to sync itunes to Pearl 8230

Hi all-
Have searched the forum to no success. Just downloaded BB for Mac and so far so good, except for one issue. The DM will freeze/crash when trying to sync one song or a whole playlist to my BB pearl. I can select any playlist I want, (I've made some with various file types and sizes to see if it was a file format or size error), and still had no success. I've ensured my media card support is on, mass storage mode is on, unencrypted, and auto enable mass storage mode when connected is on, room on the media card, and recognized by my device. The DM recognizes my media card, and correctly identifies the amount of free space on it, allows me to select my playlist(s) and when I click 'sync', the drop down window indicates "the following items are being synchronized" and "music", but the progress bar and the sync circle don't move. I've left it in this state for 4 hours to return to find out nothing has changed. I have to force quit the DM at that point.
My contacts and calendars sync fine, just no love when it comes to the music.
I have a BB pearl 8230 (4.6.1.284) on the Telus network, using an iMac running snow leopard 10.6.1, running iTunes 9.01(9)
Am I missing something? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you running the Mac in 64bit mode, if so that is a known issue. Work around appears to be switch Mac to 32 bit sync and then return to 64bit till next sync or BB RIM fix is out.

I have aol for mac. I can't figure out the mail or how to retrieve folders or mailboxes

First, I don't know if I have a mac intel or a ppc. I don't know what that means. Anyway, I have had a pc and aol since the dinosaur days. Just the other day I got a mac. I have had iphones since they began and my boys have macs so I thought what the heck. Well, it is so confusing I am pulling my hair out. My husband says icloud is on my phone, ipad and mac. I am having trouble keeping all my photos from automatically moving to my phone. I don't want 1400 photos on my phone, only some of them and can't figure out how to make it do that.
This question though is about the mail. I loaded aol onto the mac. I wanted all my mail to transfer over like it always has when changing pc's. But it did not give that option with the mac, so it just brought over my account but not my mail, saved folders and all. I have folders for bills, shopping, insurance, christmas, many many things. Probably 12-15 of them and when I get email in that I need to keep, I put it in one of those folders and can go back to it at any time. However with the apple, they don't have folders, they are called mailboxes. Now I finally figured out how to make new mailboxes for each subject. However, they do not show up on the left under the mail stuff. You have to go to toolbar once you highlight the email and go to view, then to move to or something like that, then you see the folders. If you click on one, supposedly the email goes in there. However, there is no way to tell for sure because you cannot go to them at all otherwise. And you can't open the folder cuz it is not in bold unless you are putting something in there. Then it goes away. So I don't know if it went in there so I can't delete it and it just keeps piling up. Also, my sent mail doesn't save automatically, nor does anything else. Right now my email has a dash out where it says how many emails you have incoming, but it was never there before and I don't think I got any of my mail today that I got now that I am on the pc so how do I take that off.
Also on the on the mac list it says it has like 80 something there, but it won't let me double click or see what it is, so I don't understand. I just want to get it organized.
Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate all the help I can get.

Hi Janice
Fortunately, AOL keeps a copy of mail and folders on their server, so you can be reassured that the email is there, you just have to find a way to access it.
There are three ways to read AOL mail on your Mac.
- You can open a browser such as Safari, log into http://aol.com, and read mail there (ie "webmail");
- You can install the AOL Desktop software, which is probably what you had on the PC. I don't tend to recommend this, as there's usually no need to install extra software, and I've found it very sluggish on a Mac. However, for people who are very used to it and dont want to change, the option is there;
- You can read AOL email in the Apple Mail application.
If you have added your AOL to Apple Mail, your mailboxes/folders should be available to you under a heading called "AOL" (you may have named your account differently). The mailboxes are on the left side - as mentioned above, you can hide and show the mailbox panel. (There's a "Show" button on the top left to reveal the mailboxes, which changes to "Hide" when you click it. If you already see "Hide", then you're fine.)
The server mailbox heading will be at the bottom of the mailbox panel on the bottom left. If you move your cursor over it, and you see the word "Show" appear, click that word. That will reveal the mailboxes within that server account.
In the example above, my server mail account is called "Google", but the principle is the same. Clicking "Show" will reveal all the mail folders held on the server. The same thing should work for your AOL account.
Hope that helps.

MICROSOFT FOR MAC FREEZING EVERY FEW MINUTES!

Does anyone know why whenever I'm working on Word or Excel on my Macs, that every few minutes the application freezes, indicating that I have to go & kill 5-10 minutes before I can continue with my work?
It's very frustrating :-(
I'd be grateful for any help / advice.
Thanks.
Gareth

Try repairing your drive for starters.
For another, killing can leave open files corrupt.

ITunes for Mac freezing when homesharing with Apple TV 2nd Gen

So first off I am using the latest version of iTunes, and my Apple TV2 is updated as well with the latest firmware.
I started noticing this problem earlier today, my itunes library will show up on my Apple TV for awhile, then while looking through the shows under 'Computers' in my library, suddenly it will stop loading the shows pictures and will not load the shows once I try and play them. Naturally I go to my iMac to see whats going on and my iTunes has completely frozen, Its never frozen before with regular use, I have tried it multiple times, it will play well for some time, then it will kill over. My itunes library is on a Seagate Goflex Desk 1 TB hard drive, if thats a problem.
When my iTunes DOES freeze, I force quit, then when I go to launch iTunes again I get a "This library has been locked, this disk is locked or you don't have permission' type error and I must reboot my Mac to get it to launch again. Very annoying, what should I Do?

You can do just that. Highlight any song and hold the select button > Start Genius.
This will let you start Genius, but it behaves differently now. It used to be than when I started Genius from a song, the selected song was part of the playlist and I wouldn't have to do anything special to play it.
Now, when I start Genius it gives me a list of songs based on the one I picked, but it doesn't include the one I started from. I also have to manually start playing one of those songs, or select "Shuffle" to actually start playing the playlist.
I'm so used to just starting Genius and walking away. The way it's implemented with the ATV2 is quite annoying to me.

AOL for mac?

I am a recent apple convert and have always used aol on my previous PCs. My email is through aol as well. In aol email, you can embed images instead of attaching them. However, with my new mac it's taking upwards of 5 minutes to send a few embedded pics. It took seconds on my old PC. Is this just the aol mac app that makes it so slow?
Is there any other email servers where I can embed images instead of attaching? Maybe something else besides aol would be quicker? I am quite discouraged. I am a photographer hobbyist and have children I like to share photos of. I've barely sent any pics since getting my new mac because it takes so long. Advice?

Hi, as a recent apple convert and AOL user too, I am desperatly searching for a way to save my old emails (stocked in the "organize" folder on my PC) and transfer them to my mac. I'm sorry I can't help you with your problem but maybe you can help me with mine ? Thanks.

AOL for MAC X will not run in 10.4.9

AOL was working before upgrading to Tiger 10.4.9. Just to amke sure I uninstalled everything I could find and I downloaded the latest AOL software and at the end the error message was "cannot find disk to install in" or something close to that.
Anyone else having problems?
Any fix?

Be honest with yourself, do you really NEED AOL? they have lost thousands and thousands of subscribers because hardly anyone needs them anymore. You can still keep your AOL email and use the internet as usual. iChat allows you to use your AOL instant message screen name and password. I left AOL 7 years ago and still use my I.M screen name in iChat.
Unless there is some really special need for AOL take this as a sign to move on. AOL doesn't even offer the features on the Mac version like they do Windows. Most Windows users don't even buy into that waste of software. Dude move on.
