I have a macbook pro 4GB Ram, 2GHz Intel Core 7 processor and all the time since few months ago is like running for 2 sec. and stuck for another 2 sec.

I already tried to fix it by opening just a few windows but is not that. And is killing me because anything I want to do is just like the machine responds now, now not, now yes, now not. Sometimes is ok, just like now but really isn't much time. I can't even watch a movie on itunes, not even in youtube, it lasts up to 3-4 minutes to load.

Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

If use a CC application (Windows 8.1), then popup from Adobe says"We have trouble verifying your membership-60 days remaining", But checked account and all OK

As noted in title I am getting an Adobe popup notification every time I attempt to use one of my Creative Cloud applications(Windows 8.1). The pop up states "We are having trouble verifying your membership" and then 60 days remaining. One is then given the choice with buttons of retrying to verify membership or continuing. After choosing continue then I am able to use the application without further problems. The re-try button does not work and/or is unsuccessful. These problems began shortly after renewal of my CC membership.
So I have checked my Adobe account repeatedly and there does not seem to be a problem. As noted I had renewed CC membership recently and customer service told me that everything was ok. The desktop CC application works fine and shows all of my applications for the Windows 8.1 computer. I have already removed and reinstalled CC desktop application and have the latest version, but without any success at getting rid of the popup notification. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Clyde Wilkes

I'm on ff 3.5.5 for Mac. I've been prompted twice to download latest version. Each time I have dragged the ff icon from applications folder to the dock and all seems ok. But next time I start ff it says I'm on 3.5.5 and should update to latest version!

There was no "update failed" message
I wonder whether I'm doing the right thing when I drag to the dock. There's only one ff icon in the applications folder. The first time I was prompted to update it showed that days date next to the icon as if the update was successful. The second time was a few days later but I think it was still the same date next to the icon (25/8/10) I've only just noticed that (on 10/9/10) so can't be sure but I'm sure the second time was around 2nd or 3rd of Sept.
Also, I am running two versions of ff- one is english, the other is the Italian version. They can't be opened at the same time but they seem to talk to eachother in the background, so to speak, because when I open one after a long gap, it opens with all the history and settings of the other one, right up to the last website I went to. I think I closed both when updating because it prompts you to close all programmes and restart (I think/ remember) so I just clicked ok to that prompt.
By the way, I got the prompt to update twice for ''BOTH'' the Italian and the English version- so 4 times altogether so it would seem that ff does recognise them as separate but still has problems concluding the update for each separate one respectively.
Thank you very much if you can help.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Cannot receive mail on laptop

Hi all,
I have mac mail set up on my laptop and have it configured exactly the same as the mac mail on my Mac Pro. I cannot receive mail on the Macbook Pro when I am away from the office and on a different network than at the office. I always get a 'certificate is not valid' warning.....then check 'always trust' but I can still not retrieve email from my server. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Dennis

Many sites, whose mail/web sites utilize SSL, create SSL certificates and register them through a third-party broker like Verisign or Thawte, for example, in order that site visitors or authorized users have an independent and trusted verification of authenticity that they are not connected to a rogue site masquerading as the authentic site. These certificates have an expiration date because otherwise, how will these brokers make money? Their customers renew their certificates and pay the broker a renewal fee. If an online site that uses SSL doesn't register their certificate, or if it has expired, individuals connecting to their site will get warning messages like that.

Hi barara,
Welcome to the Nokia forum and thank you for your post.
Please go to your email settings in your phone and make sure that the POP3 settings are configured correctly. Use a search engine to find the correct configuration for your email server.
If the email configuration is correct and you're unable to receive emails, please contact your local Care line and ask them to check your Nokia Messaging account.
Every email account you set up on your phone is linked to your own Nokia Messaging account. Your Care line will be able to check the account and assist you with any issues you're having in case the above hasn't resolved the problem. All you need is your IMEI, which you can find by entering *#06# into your phone.
Hope this helps, please keep me updated on your progress.

I just upgraded to iOS 10.5 and now cannot receive mail ...have checked settings per guide?

I just updated to iOS 10.5 on iPhone 3GS and now cannot receive mail?

Thanks, I think problem is solved by re-adding user name and passwork to each of the SMTP servers listed. I didn't realize they had been deleted with the update. The error was "server does not allow relaying."

I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari. It's obviously a glitch in Apple

I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
sounds like a corrupt database or index
the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

I have recently upgrades to OS X 10.9.3 and cannot access Aperture, (version 3.2.4). What do I need to do to access my library!!

I have recently upgrades to OS X 10.9.3 and cannot access Aperture, (version 3.2.4). What do I need to do to access my library!!

Update your Aperture version to Aperture 3.5.1.
If you bought Aperture as a boxed version with a license key, run Software update from the Apple-menu.
Aperture may be showing in the "Accept" portion of Purchased tab of the App Store.
If you bought Aperture from the App Store, look at the Updates page of the App Store.
Make sure, that Aperture is installed in the Applications folder and simply called Aperture and not "Aperture 3" or similar.
If you did not buy Aperture from the App Store, then the update to 3.5.1 will change your license to an AppStore license. So be sure to sign into the AppStore with the AppleID that you want to use with Aperture, before you update Aperture.
Aperture will update your Aperture library to a new format. Don't open Aperture on your library, before you have made a backup, just in case.

http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A for SL retail disks.
Once SL is intalled from retail disks the combo installer should be found to update it to 10.6.8, which install App Store to download Lion.
Is your computer Intel (required for SL)? If intel is it Core2Duo (required for Lion)?

How large is 'large'?

I have my email set up, I can send, but I cannot receive mail. What could be wrong ?

SMTP is the protocol used to send mail, where IMAP and POP are the protocols used to receive mail. ISPs can have different servers for these protocols.
In this case, the specified receiving (IMAP or POP) server, or the receiving user and password credentials, are likely incorrect.
What does the Connection Doctor diagnostic tool report?
Mail.app's Window menu > Connection Doctor
To check or change the settings, select Mail.app's Mail menu > Preferences... > Accounts and select the account you need to edit in the left column.
The receiving information will be displayed for the selected Account, with either POP or IMAP shown. Confirm with the ISP that your POP or IMAP mail settings are correct per the ISP's recommendations, as well. And in general, IMAP is preferable to POP, if you have the option of using either of those with your ISP.
