Can Anyone Offer Some Tips - iCloud Keychain
I was able to set up iCloud Keychain on my iPhone 5 and 3rd gen. iPad with no problem. When I attempt to turn it on in the iCloud settings on my MBP, it tells me that it can't connect to iCloud and just spins and spins.
I have autofill and everything set up in Safari settings and every time I log onto any specific site, it asks if I want to save the information. I used a 3rd party password application and the ability to use something integrated into the OS really appeals to me so that I can keep some sort of cohesion going on.
Can anyone suggest some troubleshooting tips that I should try in order to get iCloud Keychain to work on the Mac as well? Would be greatly appreciated.
I really am at my wit's end with this. I was able to enable iCloud Keychain on a Mini with no problem. It asked for the password and verification code and BANG -- set up without a hitch; just like when I set it up on my iPhone and iPad.
Every time I try to set it up on this Macbook Pro, I keep getting this communication problem, despite the fact that everything else works fine in iCloud on this machine.
Messages and FaceTime work without a problem. I've booted into Safe mode, reset the NVRAM, and even deleted some network plist files in Library/Preferences/SysCofig because someone suggested that the ethernet card was not being reflected properly and no matter what I do I keep geting this communication error above. It just happened a few seconds ago as I was typing this.
I must've missed out on something when I initially installed Mavericks because I didn't sit in front of the machine staring at the screen during the installation as it was in another room --- so I'm guessing I need to just go through this entire process all over again and re-install and remain glued to the screen to make sure there wasn't a crucial step that required my input to insure that the Keychain function works?
Does anyone have any suggestions or has someone had a similar problem because I really do NOT wish to sit through downloading and reinstalling this OS again. This is very frustrating that this one function is causing such an issue.
(Maybe I should just stick with 1Password because I have never seen such problems with Apple as I have in the last few years where I have been forced to use 3rd party solutions because something "breaks" in the system to the point of there being NO viable solution to make things work. In ML, Apple Mail was broken for months and I wasn't able to "fix" it until I installed Mavericks and for some reason iPhoto thinks that I'm not connected to the internet even though I am --
these issues shouldn't be happening and shouldn't be so hard to repair when they do.)
If anyone can save me from having to reinstall to gain access to this keychain in the cloud, it would be greatly appreciated!

Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?
Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.
System requirements are found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
General support can be found here: http://www.apple.com/support/snowleopard/ -

My Flash Player stops during all types play. Can anyone Offer some help?
Adobe Flash Player stops during any type of play. YouTube, Live Feed, Videos etc,. All of these will stop after a few seconds. This has nothing to do with buffering it just stops.
I have tried updates to the program (Adobe) no help. I have run this in Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Thanks for any suggestions.Delet any unwanted or useless files. I also suggest upgrading the RAM to 8GB or a 6GB it if you can't get 8GB. You shouldn't need 16GB of RAM either. If you want a really fast and responsive system, get an SSD as well. Go to www.crucialmemory.com and download their system scanner. All it does is check your system's make, model, year, and hardware configuration and it will bring you to available SSDs and RAM modules for your machine. The RAM is very easy to upgrade and the hard drive is a little more tricky. But there's plenty of videos on youtube to upgrade RAM and hard drive in MacBooks.

My playlist created on my MAC in iTunes is not syncing with my iPhone 4s. The problem started in November. I have rechecked the automatic syncing but nothing happens. What am I missing?
Please read this article about snycing music using itunes. Please focus on what it speaks when outlining talking about syncing selected playlists artists and genres THAT is the setting you will need enabled to sync playlists to a mobile device.

I just upgraded to iPhoto '11. When it was finished many pictures do not appear. I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there. Some are raw and some are jpeg. Also lost all albums. Can anyone offer assistance? Using iOS 10.7.5
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Have made some slide show libraries on publisher then saved as jpg however when I sync through itunes to my ipad the previous import is over written. Can anyone offer a solution. Thanks
I have tried much of the same - still no joy.
I also reported it as a bug to Apple although the response page said "we can't reply to messages"
For now I have had to turn off auto syncing and keep plugging and unplugging until the device is recognised correctly - about 1 in 10.
In my email to apple I also listed the contents of the xml file that keeps track of the devices that iTunes has seen:
When seen as an ipad:

You will see from the Use Count that these are adjacent connections, ie plugged in as ipad then as iphone. Apart from the device class, everything else is the same. -

Can anyone shed some light on the OS X icon "irregularity?"
Had expected icons (Mail, Reminders, Calendar, etc.) would update to those of iOS 7 with the Mavericks update. They did not (for me)! Should I be doing something in order to see the updated icons in Applications and Dock? I noticed the icons changed in iCloud. This obviously is not a major issue just an observation. Can anyone shed some light on the OS X "irregularity?"
When I upgraded to Mavericks... The Calendar and Notes icons were updated also.
After the first reboot... they reverted back to the last generation. -

Woke up to my iPhone 4 being completely blank. I've tried restarting and resetting it as well as charging it and plugging into my computer. Can anyone shed some light as to what may be wrong or how to fix it? Thanks
Hello there, Kyle.Kuz.
The following Knowledge Base article that provides some helpful pointers to help resolve your issue is:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
