Application goes not responding all the time

I am looking for some suggestions on how to stop itunes on lion from going not responding almost constantly. All of my system resources are goo cpu < 20%, 1.5 GB free RAM and plenty of free disk space.
Thanks.

You might try putting these files into the Trash (don't Empty the Trash) after quitting:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.xxxxxx.plist (where "xxxxx" are a series of numbers and/or letters)
/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/ (the entire folder)
Restart iTunes.

Firefox keeps "not responding" all the time ... is very anoring

it happens mostly while using facebook's posting page (FB and the Zynga games on FB are the only thing I'm on most of the time I'm on line) ... I keep running into "FIREFOX NOT RESPONDING" all the time ... I'll go to click on a posting and nothing happens ... when i click again the page goes cloudy and that DARN blue wheel shows up (I hate the wheel) & at top of computer is says "Firefox not responding" ... my scrolling wheel will not work right ... jumps up & down the page or won't move at all ... always have to be refreshing the page or exit firefox & reopen ... looses connection a lot or is out of sync & has to be refreshed ... this started to happen several weeks back after I first downloaded Firefox 4 ... in fact I've had to reload it several times ... this is all very frustrating when trying to play my games ... I've defragmented, run both my AGV & windows washer programs several times but nothing seems to help ... had no problems with earlier firefox so tried to reload it but now can't get earlier version to work either

My Specs for my PC are: 16GB Ram, 4.2Ghz AMD FX-4170 and my system type is: 32Bit Windows 7 OEM

When I try to open Firefox, it says it is running in the Task manager, but will not open until the memory has reached about 100,000k. Also, it keeps NOT responding all the time, and freezes up.

I have done everything on the support page. I am running Windows Vista, and I am running Firefox 4.01. I have even tried running in safe mode. I have updated my plugins, and then disabled plugins and extensions.

Why is fire fox saying (not responding) all the time

Hello,
[[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]

Time capsule disk goes 'not available' all the time.

I have a 1 TB Time Capsule and an iMac 24" 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo.
The TC is connected to my home network with an ethernet cable. WiFi is switched off in the capsule.
The iMac is connected to the same network via WiFi only.
If I reboot the TC it becomes available and I can perform a backup to it by selecting 'Back Up Now' from the menu bar item.
As expected, after the backup the TC Disk unmounts.
Howvere once it has unmounted it never becomes available again. All future backups fail with a message that says "The backup disk is not available".
When this happens I can still 'ping' the TC at it's IP address and by name ("time-capsule-dc3c11")
The iMac is running Mac OS X 10.8.1
Can anyone help me find out why the TC keeps becoming unavailable?

Did you upgrade install Mavericks? I think this can lead to all kinds of issues.. clean install the OS is the only way.
Do a full factory reset of the TC..
Use all SMB names.. that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
I strongly recommend when you have trouble.. even different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. So you can keep track of where the issue is.
Also use ethernet.. if you have not got ethernet port, buy a Thunderbolt to ethernet (much the preferred) or USB to ethernet.. if thunderbolt is missing or used.
Open network utility on your computer and find the listing for the TC.
ie scan via netstat.
Make sure you have ipv6 turned on to link local.. this is now essential.
Use the IP address if it is static rather than name.. and try it in full network isolation by ethernet.
So Go .. Connect to server.
AFP://10.0.1.1 (at default IP)
The default password is public.. you will need to type in a password.
If it fails the TC could be faulty.
Use ping via the terminal to make sure the network is working.

HT201401 I installed the new IOS softerware to my iphone 4s, since downloading this software my phone has slowed down, does not respond all the time, some apps shut down unexspectedly ans some do not even open up, how can i fix this?

How can i fix the problems i am having with my iphone and the new software update?

search the forum. You'll find your answer. It's beed addressed over and over and over again.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time. Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well. Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day. MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

Has anybody experienced the iPhone off switch not working all the time.

I have an iPhone 5, it's about 16 months old and it has experienced an annoying issue. The off button does not work all the time, sometimes I have to press it multiple times and other times it just works. The worst case is when it does not work at all, very frustrating. I didn't expect this type of issue for a phone that is not even a year and a half old.
I did some searching on the internet and there are 2 schools of thought, the first is that this is a hardware fault and Apple know about it but won't admit it because it would cost them too much to repair/replace phones with the issue. The second school of thought is that it is a software issue and a backup/reset/restore will fix it; I tried doing this but it did not resolve the issue.
Further digging seemed to suggest that it was really a hardware fault and the only option was to get a refurb from Apple for a ton of money, not cool.
Anyway, if anyone has any more information that could help me resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

@diesel vdub, thanks for your suggestion, I setup an appointment with the Genius Bar and found out in about 5 minutes that everything I have read up on so far is true.
Firstly the technician admitted that there is a sporadic fault on the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 switches, something to do with the design of the switch that included a rubber element that rolls up (whatever that means) and causes the switch to fail. He then indicated that the iPhone 5s does not have the issue because the switch has been completely redesigned.
Since I was stupid enough to not take out the extended warranty the only options he gave me were to purchase a new phone or to get a refurb for $269, not cool. Why would anyone think that a phone would not work correctly for 2 whole years when the phone only cost about $600!
Since I have about 7-8 months left on my phone contract I am not prepared to pay for either option. I find it amazing that a phone can develop this type of issue in such a short time and then expect the customer to pay for their failures. Apple supposedly sells a very high quality product for a very high price, looks like they have taken a step back from this philosophy.
I am disappointed in the options that he gave me (I don't blame the technician) but I suppose I expected more from Apple in terms of quality and service.

My optical drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 series is not working all the time.

I have a Macbook Pro mid 2009 series and just recently my optical drive is not working all the time. At times it decides to not spin a disk that has been inserted in the drive. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and this is one of the very few things i have to distract me from the day to day haul. This is something that just started to happen and its very fustrating since i have limited support for this.

Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd

My iPad keeps dimming on wakeup. I am on iOS 6. Auto dimming turned off. I have to go to brightness setting and touch it to get the brightness back up to my setting. It does not happen all the time but has happened more frequently lately. Any ideas?

Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.
