Can't open a spreadsheet. Get message that spreadsheet is too old and needs to be saved with Numbers '09?

HS,
If you recently purchased a new computer, call AppleCare and describe your problem. Others who have done this have received an iWork '09 disk in the mail with which to do the conversion.

Keep getting error message that iphoto has detected inconsistencies and needs to rebuild

while adding photos to library keep getting error message that iphoto has detected inconsistencies and needs to rebuild the library..how do I fix?

By rebuilding your library.
Back up your iPhoto library before you do that.
If iPhoto is open, quit it.
Hold down the Option and Command keys while you open iPhoto (click the iPhoto icon in the Dock).
The Photo Library First Aid window opens.
Click "Rebuild database" and click the "rebuild" button.
If this does not solve the problem, see "option 2" in Terence Devlin's post here:
Re: i keep getting the message iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library but after repairing it it just quits

HT4641 I have recently upgraded to Pages 5.1. I can't open any of my previously created Pages docs because I am told they are too old and have to be saved in Pages'09 first. I don't have Pages '09. How do I open them?

I am technologically challenged senior citizen who recently upgraged to Pages 5.1 from what I think was iWorks '08. I now find that I am not able to open any of my important previously created Pages documents. I receive a pop-up that tells me that they are too old and must be saved in Pages'09 first. I no longer have the disk for iWorks 08 and don't have Pages '09 on my iMac. Any ideas how I might get these documents open?

You should have the old Pages '08 inside the iWork folder, inside your Applications folder.
Open your old files in Pages '08 > Menu > File > Export > Word
Pages 5 can then open that Word file.

After installing icloud, I can't open Photoshop CS, please help. I am an artist and need photoshop to work.

Did you upgrade to Lion just before setting up iCloud? that's more likely to be the issue. PhotoShop CS2 is a PPC program and won't run on Lion - on Snow Leopard it requires Rosetta to emulate PPC, and this is not included in Lion. CS3 and lateer apparently work though with issues.
Click on the program's icon in the Finder and hit command-i. Near the top of the pane it will say 'Kind': if it says 'PowerPC' then this is the problem. It will not run on Lion and there is no workaround. You will need to revert to Snow Leopard (you could install this on an external disk and start up from that).

How can I cancel an existing Apple ID that I don't use and need anymore?

As it is impossible to merge Apple ID's I would like to cancel the one that I don't use and need anymore. But even when I sign into my account there is no hint or else to just erase or cancel the whole thing. Any ideas? Thankx a lot!

Thank you! I thought I've missed something somewhere between the lines...

I close Firefox session and then try to open a new browser window - get message that Firefox is still running and I need to shut down and restart. Need a solution

I close a Firefox browser and at a later time want to open a new browser window but get message "Firefox is still running and I need to shut down before I can open a new session" I do not want to shut down as this is laborious - I can go into task manager and processes and click on Firefox and end session that way but this is not the solution. Firefox seems to be running in background but I cannot open a new session window without doing on of the above.

Have a look at this post, see if it is of any help (though related to Vista, but same issue can be there with Window 7 also)

After I exit Firefox, I keep getting messages that Firefox is still running and I have restart my computer. How can I avoid this from happening?

This happens when I close the internet browser. When i want to go back on, nearly every time, I get the message that firefox is till running, close or restart the computer. Since i have closed it, I continuously have to restart my computer (or switch over to Chrome)

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

*** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it

Trying to synch my ipod and getting message that a file is corrupt and can't communicate. Trying to restore ipod but nothing happens when I click on restore. What now?

After following all of the instructions in the help site I get the ipod to the Disc Mode but nothing happens when I click on restore. Help, my wife thinks I'm sabotaging her ipod.

When you have a compatible Numbers file in icloud (from Numbers on a mac), then when you invoke Numbers on a device, that file immediately shows up in the main window that lists all documents in Numbers. (Same thing for Pages.)
I haven't used Numbers, only Pages, so I just made a test. Created a Numbers file on the mac and "move to" iCloud. On my iPhone, the file didn't show up - hmm. Then I remembered I had turned off wifi and in settings have 3G data for documents turned off. When I turned on wifi and went back to Numbers, the file appeared.
I suspect you need to import the Excel file into Numbers and then save it as a Numbers file to iCloud, using "move to".

Appeaers a message that battery is too slow and the phone turns off

When the battery is yellow since today appears a massage saying that the battery is too slow and the cellphone turns off! Whats going on? Before, it could have the battery in red buy never turned off :s i need help please. Ah! The emails are taking hours to arrive! I have the 9300 and im too upset!

This tends to indicate some rogue app running in the background or an email stuck in the outbox constantly trying to send.
Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
Check the outbox for all email accounts configured on the device to ensure no messages are "stuck".

Cannot open iPhoto, keep getting message that update is required but no update available in App store

iphoto will not open as message occurs that update s necessary but update page shows error has ocurred--what to do?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

TS1741 Can't update Apps. Get message that "Cannot connect to iTunes Store

I have an iPad2 using Wi-Fi through my home computer. The device seems to hook up to iTunes on the computer and sync all applications. On my App Store icon on the iPad2 it shows "16". when i try to update I get the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" select OK. All other selections such as Purchased, Categories, Top Charts, Genius and Featured all seem to work. I was even able to download an app. I used to be able to update apps from my iPad2 through any wireless connection. Anyone have a fix for me.
Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.
Stephen

See if this weird fix works for you.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.

Frequently, when waking the computer up from Standby and opening a new browsing session, I get a message that Firefox is already running and needs to be closed, even though it was closed during the previous session. I use Task Manager to close it.

Internet connection is AT&T highspeed DSL via Westell modem. Antivirus is AVG 2011. OS is XP Home SP2, circa 2002.
