Cannot Save Notes-Help Please

I have experienced this problem intermittently in the past, but now things seem to be really stuck. I go to Mail and open a new Note. In the past, when I was finished I would hit the "Done" button and the note would appear in my "Notes" box under "Reminders". Right now when I try this I get the message "Error. This Note could not be saved."
Beginning in the fall I started having a problem with the program creating "extra" intermediate notes under the same name throughout the day. I also started experiencing Notes disappearing totally after hitting the "Done" button. Sometimes they would show up in strange places in various "Mail" in/out/trash boxes. Sometimes I even found them on my iPhone in my AOL inbox.
I would really appreciate any thoughts as I've been using this as my primary note taking tool.
Thanks, Brian

While you might have damaged the drive, but because of how they are vertically mounted in the iMac and maybe some heat related issue, the drive could've simply just failed. Its time has come.
Tthe internal optical drives in the aluminum style iMacs because of there mounting position seem to be prone to failure.
Your AppleCare has long since expired.
You have two options. You can pay to have the drive removed and replaced with a new internal drive and risk another premature failure. At least your iMac will have a brand new internal optical drive.
OR forget about the internal drive and look for and purchase an external third party optical drive that will be much better built and last longer and you can use this drive again when and if you decide to upgrade to a newer Mac or iMac model.
Another note. If you decide to have an Apple tech replace the internal optical drive, you might ask if possible, how much to install a larger hard drive into this iMac since they have to tear down the entire iMac anyhow.
Good Luck on whichever decision you choose

Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?

You probably have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 in your Applications folder, will open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them. It can not open Pages '08 files.
Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open Pages 5 files.
When you were shutting down you probably had an unsaved document open.
You probably are opening the wrong versions of Pages to open the wrong document format.
Pages 5 has had over 90+ features removed.
Most users are going back to Pages 09 whilst Apple sorts this out.

Cannot read discs, help please?

Hi, any suggestions would be wonderful, but this is the current case:
I have an iMac that I purchased back in 2007. Literally, I just installed snow leopard a week ago, and the next time I inserted a disc into my drive - the disc got stuck. And this was very bad of me, but I took a card and gently jimmied the disc till it came out. I have never had this problem till I installed snow leopard onto it. So now whenever I put a disc in - it doesn't mount, and I hear the drives trying to read the disc, but it only spits out the disc after thirty seconds or so. Also, I have tried many different discs, and it is all the same case. They are all spit out. Help please? Should I just take it into the Apple Store?

HT5457 Updated to ios6 on my iPad2 I cannot save bookmarks Help.?

Is anyone else having issues with safari since updating ipad2 with thw new ios6? I cannot find my old bookmarks and I cannot save new bookmarks.
How do I fix?

Maunally restore it. In order to do this:
-Download the iOS 5.1.1 firmware from here http://www.redmondpie.com/download-5.1.1-ios-for-iphone-4s-4-3gs-ipad-ipod-touch -direct-official-links/
1. After downloading the firmware from the given link, open iTunes and click on your device.
2. Now press SHIFT on your keyboard and while pressing it click on "Restore".
3. A dialog box will appear.
4. Select the firmware you downloaded and click ok.
5. Done!!! Your iPhone will now be restored to 5.1.1 and if you had backed up your iPod before, then you can put all its settings afterwards.

I did have the ability to "save" in PAGES. I upgraded to "Mountain Lion", and now I can not "Save". Help please!

I used to be able to "Save" my material in PAGES. I upgraded to "Mountain Lion" and now when I go to "Save", it says "permission denied". How can I correct this?
<E-mail Edited by Host>

Several users have had this problem in Mountain Lion. The system has decided you don't have read/write permissions. Have you done any updates to your system lately? Using Disk Utility to repair permissions after any upgrade or update, especially to the system, is a good practice. So first, I would repair permissions & then if you still have the problem, locate the file in Finder & go to File > Get Info & look in the Sharing & Permissions section. You should be the only one with read/write permissions but something has happened. Click on the words under "priveledge" next to your name & change it to read & write. You will probably have to enter your admin password.

IPod Touch 4th gen "USB Device cannot be recognised" Help Please?

Every time I plug it into a PC (any PC, Mac or Linux PC) the Device is not recognised at all not in iTunes or Windows, the iPod is disabled and it's my friends, his computer that he synced it on last is completely broken. I am trying to get it recognised so that I can restore it but I just cannot get it recognised, I have tried both recovery and DFU mode but to no avail. Please help .
BTW I am not sure what iOS it is on but my friend thinks it is on 5.XX

- Try another cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Did you do everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Including
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
and for the computer in queston
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Cannot save notes

Hello. I can't save changes in NOTES. I used to...now I cannot.
I've tried the setting "save on my mac" in preferences....still no change.
I haven't even tried syncing to iPhone...so far a mac problem. Not a phone problem.
Would love a hero. Anybody?

There are probably a few - but probably not me!
What do you precisely mean by 'Notes'; is that as in 'Stickies'?
If so, sorry I can't help as I seem to be able to Create, Save, Amend and Delete those without a problem.
However, at least you now know someone read your plea. I appreciate how frustrating it can be when no one responds.

My computer is infected I cannot do anything help please

Just upgraded to ISO8 and now my iphone 4s won't connect to home wifi - keeps telling me that the password is incorrect when it's not - help please.......

Please help me - I've just upgraded my Iphone 4s to ISO8 and now I can't connect to wifi - was at my friends yesterday - always use his wifi and even though the password was correct, it wouldn't accept it. Came home and had the same problem. I can't use my data plan as it wouldn't be enough so now it's chewing through it.........The only thing I did different was upgrade......... I'm not computer savy so please leave me step by step instruction on how to fix if you can. I've tried rebooting etc and turning everything off - no luck.......

Have you tried resetting the network settings? Sometimes starting from scratch solves the issue and it is the simplest way I can think of that may solve your problem.
1. Go to Settings > General > Reset
2. Then select Reset Network Settings
3. Enter your password when it requests it
After the phone finishes the reset try adding your Wi-Fi again and see if that works. If not, I would back-up your phone to your computer, then reset the whole phone by following the same instructions above, but choosing Reset All Content and Settings at step two. Make sure you backup your phone first though! Otherwise you will lose all the stuff on your phone when you make this selection.
Good luck!

Voice Note Help Please

Hi
Last night I recorded a voicenote, using Remember.
Unfortunately, it appears to have gone missing (and I don't recall deleting it); and I was wondering if there is any way to retrieve it.
Usually, if the app is minimised, or closed, the recording is saved; and can be searched for. But in this instance, the file has gone from the normal search results.
Is there a recycle bin style functionality that I can't find?
Is there anywhere missing/deleted files are put.
Would really love to get this recording back.
Thanks

Hi jrsc109,
One option would be to check the 'File Manager' , here you will find a Voice notes folder, I would suggest checking the Device memory and Media card. If the file is not here then it may have been deleted in error and cannot be retrieved.
Thanks.

Can't prevent the addon checker from installing on DL even though I uncheck the box so I cannot do updates, help please.

I finally decided to give ver 21 a chance. I did not use the help option in the browser but came directly to the Mozilla site and did the download from there. I chose the custom install and accepted the choices until the screen with the check box for the auto-maint. stuff. I do not want it and never have and have always unchecked the box and all went fine.
This time no matter what I try, I cant prevent it. I finally had to roll back using system restore. I can not figure out out to turn this thing off once it down loads and I just wasted another couple of hours getting a usable version of Firefox back in place.
I would like to update, but I am not willing to go through this again. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Chris L.

I did the install in the default folder- and have done upgrades this way for years.
What happens is after doing the update, when I first click to open a Firefox browser window, before it opens I get a pop-up that says it is checking to see if my add-ons are up to date. After several seconds it then says they are and it closes.
Somewhere in the past when this feature started to appear, it did so automatically if I did an update through the help page link.That is why I refuse to use it. It did not respect my choices as using it always returned that dang add-on stuff. Plus it never asked if I wanted it nor did it offer the maint. box option.
What I used to do was use Explorer (not IE) on XP to get on the net. First I would delete Firefox, leaving my info. Then I used Explorer to go to the Mozilla site and downloaded Firefox as if it were my first time. Then I unchecked the box using the custom install route, the new version installed and the add-on thing never happened.
I can't do the Explorer trick in Win 7 and I don't let IE be functional on my system. So I just went in the front door, clicked the install for Firefox and went the custom route, unchecked the box and got the dang add-on checker back,
So what I did this time was to save a download of version 20.0.1 from the rollback site I have used over the years instead of installing. Then I uninstalled Firefox, keeping my info, rebooted the PC and ran the download. When I did, I unchecked the box as always and when done, the add-on checker was back anyway.
I finally had to do a system restore and and got version 20.0.1 back that way and am using it and no add-on checker runs. I am loathe to lose all my extensions or add-ons and settings that may be at risk doing a reset. I have been down that road before. I have been a Firefox user for a number of years now, it is the only browser I keep on my box.
However, I am not a fan of software functions that try to take decisions away from me. I am rarely a fan of anything that gets labelled or actually named as smart for the most part. I do not mind software to help others who don't care if it usurps their ability to decide, I do object to being forced to use it. All I want is the off switch for it.
It wasn't until I learned that two features included with ver. 21 I would not let on my system could be turned off that I was even willing to download the upgrade. And when I did, it took me a couple of hours to get back to a working version of 20.0.1 and rid myself of the add-on checker.
On light of the above additional detail, any ideas?

Browser on 8310 SmartPhone Edge comes up with Critical Error and cannot be used, help please?

Hi, my name is Sater and I'm the lone I.T. guy for a small medical device company (about 40 ppl) based in Fremont, CA. So...
All of a sudden my vp of marketing comes in and says that he can't use the Browser function on his BB (8310 SmartPhone Edge) anymore. Naturally I'm intrigued, but this is a very strange error that pops up. It doesn't matter how many settings I go in and change, there's no budging it. Here is what it's telling me...
"Unable to connect to the selected Mobile Data Service, please try again later. If the problem persists please contact your administrator."
So I decide after about an hour of messing with settings and getting nowhere to call AT&T support. They said when that error comes up with "please contact your administrator", it's because it can't connect to the BES server anymore and that we would have to consult that with whomever runs that server. To give you a little background, we went through an outsourced Exchange provider called TheMessageCenter.com. They were alright, but my VP of R&D was pretty bent by some of the lack of customer service skills they presented to him when he was in an email crisis. Needless to say one of the very first missions I ever had at this place was to find a new email solution and integrate the migration.
So basically AT&T said they couldn't do anything and that I would have to contact our outsourced providor (TheMessageCenter.com, since we ran both Exchange and BES through them before we switched) back to get the settings cleared off the BES server hosting his phone Pin and info. I called them up, (mind you we had been away from TheMessageCenter.com for a good couple weeks now) and they claimed they had no other active processes running for our company anywhere on their BES servers or frankly, ANYWHERE lol. So naturally he's looking at me to fix this, and I am seriously stumped! Should I do some kind of Factory reset? If so, how can I load all his contacts/settings back the way he had it? Any help on this matter, (especially if treated as urgent... I know you hate to hear that, but I said it for all you I.T. guys haha) would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks

Hi,
The browser icon uses the BES service, unless you have signed up for the BIS ONLY servcie, wherein you get access to the internet through RIM's servers.
Since your servcie is a BES servcie the access to the internet is through the BES.
The MDS is a service running on the BES to authenticate you. (and thus the error)
So, No BES = No Internet access using the Browser icon!
So, I need a little clarificatuioin.
Did you move from one BES to another? Or did the user simply switch carriers?
It sounds as if you moved from one third company BES to another third company BES... Is that right?
If so then contact your New BES and ensure that they allow ppl to use the MDS servcie for internet access (Most companies charge extra for that feature! - Because they can!).
If your hosting the BES (Now), and it was Themessagingcentre.com before, then you need to Reactivate the Handset for the new BES. I have a feeling that he is now getting the emails through the BIS service and the handset wasnt wiped and so it is stil trying to access the old BES....
So can you please give details such as:
BES - where was it hosted:
BES - where is it now hosted:
NEW BES: Is the MDS service enabled and can people currently use it to browse?
Have you tested with other BB handsets to ensure you/user are clicking the same icons on both handsets (most ppl do different things to access in their own way, so simply asking them if it works doesnt help!)
The alternative is to use the expensive WAP browser. It will work but will rack up huge charges.
Let us know how it goes...

After new hard drive, Leopard installed, cannot log in - Help Please!

The local Apple store installed a new hard drive and Leopard on my G5 desktop yesterday. I attempted to restore my applications and documents, using Time Machine from my external G-Drive but am getting the message "you may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item (Turbo Tax Premier 2007)". I also tried to install the application iWork which I purchased and it too would not let me because it was asking for a password. I typed my old password and user name that I had given to the Apple store (they asked me for it) but it was not accepted or recognized. Should I return to the Apple store and let them do this for me, or is there a reason my password and user name is not being recognized? Also, I do not have the Leopard DVD that they installed from to make any changes or reset the password (I have the original Leopard that I purchased when it became available but hesitate to use it since it caused my Mail App to become corupt which was the reason I went to the Apple Store in the first place as my other Leopard applications and system seemed to be working ok - but when they attempted to reinstall the OS, that's when they called me and said I needed a new hard drive since the attempted installation failed.) Sorry about rambling on, but wanted to give you as much info as possible about my situation and would appreciate any suggestions and help.
Will I have to reinstall all my applications such as Quicken, TurboTax, iLife, ect or should they be restored from my G-Drive? I'm worried about loosing my "documents" as they were created using the older "Appleworks" application; that's why I purchased iWork, to transfer them to.
Thanks again.
Charles

Just thought I'd refresh my recent post to see if any of you current viewers might have a suggestion as how to fix my problem with the "log in". I really appreciate any ideas on this subject.
Thanks,
Charles Adam
