Cannot load the Scrabble app for Facebook on my Mac laptop; was always glitchy, but now cannot load at all. Works fine on my PC, however - any suggestions?
Cannot load the Scrabble app for Facebook on my Mac; it starts, then I get this error message:
"FACEBOOK IS NOT RESPONDING. Facebook is taking longer than usual to respond. If this problem persists, refresh your browser or try again later."
I used this app for a few weeks on this machine, but now no amount of time and no number of refreshes will get the page to load. My ancient PC with Windows XP loads the app just fine, however - any ideas?
Thanks!!
Any error messages ?

What is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?
what is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?
My answer does not have the black Apple logo but the hardearned black belt of (bad) experience.
There is one problem with TimeMachine. It can get corrupted out of the blue with no warning and it will not want to restore correctly (as an added "bonus" you get to find this out the "hard" way, when you need it most). Plus it takes ages for the data to be copied back, sometimes days. Haven't tried my 600gb backup on Mavericks but Mountain Lion had this knack of breaking Timemachine after a couple of months.
To back up my entire server is use SuperDuper. It mirrors the drive to an external one (usb for example) The cool thing is you can use that usb drive and start the OS X from it (by holding Alt when you hear the boot chime).
This way you have a working copy of your entire machine. You can even go to another mac and boot it from there. I literally ran the OS X Server in my company from a usb drive on an old MacBook Pro until i got around to fix the problems with the actual server machine.
This has saved me twice already as the Hitachi drives Apple uses, tend to die like clockwork after 4000-5000 hours of use with no warning.

PS. As a sidenote... SSDs are more reliable than a normal HDD (not to mention faster) I can't stress this enough, my Server is on two SSDs now. I can't tell you how stress free the setup is, it doesn't feel like a computer but more like a router, it just works... forever. After two years with SSDs my server has had two days of downtime and their health is at 97%, they will literally last 100 years with normal use. I'd go so far as to recommend you buy an SSD and move your old HDD to an external enclosure and use that as a usb backup. (for SSDs i use Plextor / Lite-On M3s (older) or the M6s (newer)) -
My mom got the iPad mini for Christmas and she gave me her old iPad but she is still receiving all my messages on her mini. Is there a way to stop her from getting them?
If she is receiving your messages - then you must have somehow setup the iPad to use your iPhone number or your email address on her new iPad. How you did that is beyond me unless you set up her new Mini for her and used your Apple ID on it.
On her iPad got to - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>uncheck your phone number or email address of that is what is being used for the contact number. -
After moving all photographs from my first catalogue, which was a mess, to a new catalogue, it all worked fine. Until that is I tried to open the new catalogue, which had worked OK all day. I now get a window that says "Unexpected error, select another catalogue."
OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount..... -
Can I gift the FaceTime app for my girlfriend's mac?
Can I?
Eric..
The FaceTime app for Mac can't be "gifted" but you can purchase an iTunes Gift Card that can be redeemed at the Mac App Store and used to purchase the FaceTime app.
Choose your iTunes Gift Card - Apple Store

Tip: Where you see the price of an app either in the App Store for Mac or the iTunes store click the black arrow facing down next to the price. If you can gift an app it will say: Gift this App -
What's the best App for cleaning/speeding up Mac using Lion?
Can anyone recommend an App for cleaning/speeding up my iMac and Macbook Pro, both of which use Lion?
Hard drive space is not really the issue, but I can't help feeling that my iMac is not as nippy as it used to be - my basic requirements are:
1) Easy to use. I'm a competent user, but no guru.
2) Will confirm details of what is is deleting, cleaning before it does it.
3) Is reliable and won't crash or bugger-up my system.
4) Actually works - as I said, don't really need to reclaim storage, but would like to speed up my mac
5) Doesn't cost the earth.
You thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers all,
Simon.Do the below and keep your boot drive below 50% filled and not more that 80%, that's about all you can do without a full reinstall of the OS.
12: OnyX cache cleaning
Category: OS X, application and User account software related
Description: Gives OS X, application and user account caches a enema, lets then rebuild again new, resolves strange and unknown issues based on cache files being corrupted .
Only cache files are removed, not users data, files, programs or OS X. Some settings will be set back to normal in Finder and other locations. Spotlight will rebuild a new database.
Problems possibly resolved: Varied: Flash install issues, Dock/Finder/File issues, "ghost files", performance and privacy related
Instructions:
Apple doesn't supply a easy method for the user to self clean the caches, thus we have to turn to third party software.
Use the free OnyX matching your OS X version and run all the initial checks, stop if any give a warning, you have a bigger problem. See #4
Run though all the Maintenance and Cleaning aspects (except don't delete the log files) and reboot at the end (must)
You must be through running all the maintenance and cleaning aspects as this is a "catch all" method and any number of corrupted caches may be responsible for your issues. You need to REBOOT at the end of using OnyX. Canceling the in-between reboot requests is fine.
Read Step #13 and perform the Verify > Preferences before rebooting at the end of using OnyX.
Get the free OnyX here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnyX
Just a few of OnyX many successes:

I am having trouble loging in to FAcetime with my normal apple ID, it says its not connected but the id works with itunes etc. any suggestions???
I seem to be having the same issue, however, no browser has worked for me.
I have tried on my windows pc, Firefox, IE, Chrome and Safari. As well as using the command prompt to force open the link with this command: iTunes.exe /url "itmss://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/longUrlHandler?cacheK ey=MZFinancelinkAccountPageb95c64b3df2e3a30a8d94ee87dbeb12f&ign-mscache=1&ign-ms r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneymoviesanywhere.com%2Fsetting%2Faccount%2Fsync-account%2 F"
When this all failed I went to my parent's iMac and logged into my itunes account there and used Safari on their machine but I got an error saying that the itunes store wasn't avaliable. I authorized that computer as well.
I'm at wits end here. I really just want to make this work
Edit: Thae farthest I have gotten it to go is to open itunes. It loads to the store then just does nothing. No prompt to link accounts. -
I Purchased season 5 of Downton Abbey and have downloaded episode 1. It will play on my iPad but will not play on Apple TV. Other movies and videos work fine. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
OOur internet service is not always fast enough to stream directly on Apple TV which is why we want to use AirPlay from the iPad to Apple TV. When we try to play a movie it starts for one second and then crashes out. This does not happen with every TV show - we watched 8 episodes of Season 4 with no problem, but it would not play episode 9 or episode 1 of season 5.

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???
If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one. If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair. You'll need to ask for pricing.
If you are good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

hello i have a powermac G5 it flashed lights tells me it has a Ram fault but some times it pwers on with no problems odd any one give me advice on this ? thanks
Hi, while it could be the RAM, it seems more likely a RAM slot solder problem related to temperature.
Does it do that when it's colder?
If you're sure the RAM is good, try the Hair Dryer trick...

What is the best app for address labels and mail merge?
What is the best app for address labels, mail merge and keeping track of customers information?
Whilst this will work, it's intended for merging information (e.g. producing personally-addressed letters to a list of people).
If you simply want address labels, open Contacts and then choose which contacts you want (either a group or hold down Cmd and click on those you want - if they're together, click on the first and use Shift when you click on the last). No need to select any if you want all.
Then press Cmd-P and click on Show Details (at the bottom). Choose Labels (at the right hand side) and choose the size labels you have. You can even adjust the font and colour if you wish. -
