Welcome to the discussions
The very first thing to check is Go upper left to your Blue Apple and click it and when it opens choose System Preferences, and when the box opens choose CD's-DVD's and select what you want to happen when you insert Blank or Music/or Commercial CD's or Movie DVD's
Don't forget to repair Permissions.

HT201412 My iPhone 4S stops charging a few seconds after being connected to the USB, it will, however, charge when it is switched off.

iPhone stops charging a few seconds after being connected to a USB slot, it will charge when switched off is I think it must be a software issue.

HAve you tried using a different power chord? If the power chord is not the issue, it could be the power supply inside your mac.

IMac freezes for a few seconds after external hard drive wakes up

24-inch iMac, early 2008. 4GB RAM.
I hear my external hard drive spin up as if it's been not spinning (totally possible; I only use it for Time Machine backups and iMovie archive storage)
During this spin-up process, my iMac (Mountain Lion, latest version) freezes momentarily--keyboard, mouse, screen--but audio remains faithful and music keeps playing.
After about 5 seconds of this delay, the thing catches up with itself and everything I was doing during the freeze gets processed and displayed. (e.g., I may have been typing a sentence and didn't hear the disk spin up at first; once the disk "comes back to life" everything I typed appears on screen as if everything was being typed really quickly--as if my keystrokes were just delayed while the disk spun up.)
Anyone know what's going on or have a solution to this annoying problem?
I'm comfy with the Terminal if any uber geeks want to take a crack at it.
Thanks!

go to apple logo > system preferences > spotlight
then
there are two tabs
choose "Privacy"
drag the external into the spolight privacy section
OR
hit the "+" at the bottom left > navagate to the external > and choose it
whats happening is that spotlight indexes when you turn it on and potentially slows the computer down
also
if it is a Time Machine backup it is pointless as Time Machine mirror images your internal drive to the external
meaning
spotlight has two of the extact same files and folders it has to organize
aka
pointless
let me know how it goes

Firefox crashes 30 seconds after being opened

I have The OS 10.5.8. Firefox is The OS is 10.6.8. and says it is up to date. In the past few days the browsree crashes after about 30 seconds to one minute of being opened.
below are the crash IDs:
Crash ID: bp-d17bafb4-5ae1-4bd3-b4a0-22c242131212
Crash ID: bp-b427aaf0-1dec-48af-9db1-bebfd2131212

Hi
From the crash reports I see you use a very old version of Firefox. It's more than one year old. You should upgrade and see if the problem is solved.
You can find latest downloads here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ If you can't use update within Firefox (Check the about Firefox in help menu).
Edit: just noticed you that you have old OSX, so you can't update Firefox. :(
(only OSX 10.6 – 10.9 can have the latest Firefox)
Edit2: Found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/751524
Only a clue but do you have file sharing not disabled?

IPhoto, iTunes, Safari and iChat all quit seconds after being launched

iTunes, iPhoto, Safari, Quicktime... all quit (with no error) after launching. I noticed this after importing images from my digcam into iPhoto.
Any ideas? I've run diskutility, repaired the disk and repaired permissions.
Mac OS X v10.4.9
iTunes 7.1.1
iPhoto 6.0.6

Greg:
The preference file gets recreated the next time iPhoto is launched and does not affect the contents of the library as such. The key file is the library database Library6.iPhoto. It probably got damaged during the crashing.
You can try to recover the library by rebuilding the library. I don't think it will but definitely work a try. Here's how: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't help then you'll have to start over with a new library and import the original files from the old library. Here's how:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

After updating to 10.9.2 my Mail app also went ballistic and got to 100% of CPU and endless beach ball. My solution was force quitting and then deactivate all my mail accounts from the Settings app.
Then I relaunched Mail, which restarted problem free. Then, one by one and slowly, I re-enabled all my accounts.

My iPod classis is not recognized by my Macbook and self-ejects immediately after being plugged in?

Hello,
I have an iPod classic and I am using a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Since the last iTunes update i have not been able to connect my iPod to iTunes. I have tried both USB ports and it still won't work. The iPod ejects itself immediately after being plugged in. The usb ports are working, I've tried an iPod touch and an iPhone 4s, so that doesn't seem to be the issue either. Appreciate any help!

Hi luisxjim,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps that may help if your iPod classic isn't being recognized by your computer:

Reader XI freezes 2-3 seconds after I open it, every time!

This problem started when I downloaded reader XI. It didn't happen in reader 9, or whatever the previous version was on my computer. The little timer on the right moves clockwise 2-3 clicks and then it freezes. About 20 seconds after being frozen, it closes. Same thing happens when I try to open a pdf. No error messages or anything. I'm running windows 7 on a dell latitude E5530 (laptop). No idea what's going on. Here's a screenshot. Help please. Go easy please. I'm not super smart when it comes to computer jargon.

You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.
Ciao.

Flash drive no longer works after being connected to a Windows XP machine.

After being opened on a Windows XP machine, the contents of my flash drive now shows up on my Macbook pro as a single .lnk file. What happened? It's MS-DOS (FAT32).
Is there any way out of this or has all my data been lost? I've never experienced this issue previously.

Thanks. I've now scanned it with both Sophos and ClamXav and both have come up negative for infection.
At least while the scan was running I could see that all my data is still there as the name of each file appeared as it was going through the scan.
My efforts to sort this out seem to have made things worse as now it opens up word whenever I try to see the contents. I'll try it on a PC tomorrow and see if I can figure out what happened. Looks like the file system has been damaged in some way.

Illustrator CC 64 bit crashes after a few seconds of being open (Win 8.1 64bit)

After following all related issues of others online, nothing has worked to solved this mystery.
Ai CC 64bit crashes after a few seconds of being open. I am running Win 8.1 64bit. All other Adobe CC apps work. I have installed and re-installed countless times, no help.
I am 100% convinced that Illustrator CC is 100% incompatible with Windows 8.1. Even the Microsoft compatibility page has 100% votes for incompatible yet it states it is compatible.
Adobe, if you care about paying customers, please fix this. I am coming from OS X and everything was flawless.

DustinWilliam,
When something is wrong and you uninstall and reinstall, you should always run the Cleaner Tool inbetween to remove what may be lingering, although I doubt whether it will help in this case.

After downloading osx 10.9.2 when i open my logic pro 9 and begin to audition loops that came with lp9 i get a message that says "audio device has been removed and then a second message the " select driver not found(-10202). my interface is a apogee duet

Can anyone provide a solution to this problem. Thanks

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
I got it!!! Yes!!!
Guys, I've solved my problem about that error -10202 (Selected driver not found).
I have installed in my Mac Pro (OS X 10.5.8) a document with an extension ".rsrc" to correct the position of the accents in my keyboard, like acute accent, tilde and circumflex.
That file is called "U.S. - International.rsrc" and it's stored in the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Keyboard Layouts"
So, when it's properly installed, I can choose 2 country flags on the right side of the menu bar (U.S. - International and Brazilian).
That's the clue!
When I pick up "U.S. - International", my keyboard works fine with the accents, >>>BUT<<< Logic Pro 9 doesn't recognize my audio driver; and when I pick up "Brazilian", my keyboard doesn't work with the accents exactly as it shows me on each key, BUT Logic Pro 9 DOES recognize my audio driver.
So, when I want to write anything out, I will pick up the "US - International" and when I want to work on the Logic Pro 9, I will pick up "Brazilian".
I hope I can help all of you.
Regards,
Renato Veiga.

I am also having a similar issue. I used Adobe Lightroom and my whole display goes black. Even my laptop screen and the lights on the keyboard go black. I can still hear the fan running, so I assume it is just the display. This is my first Mac and I have had nothing but issues. I think I am going back to Windows after this.

Drive spitting out CD's seconds after insertion

My drive will not accept any form of CD. I haven't spilled liquid on it or anything. What's wrong? How can I fix this?

Scott, I have learned repeatedly what you have explained here: That these optical Super Drives are not robust. I am on my THIRD Super Drive in the less than three years I've owned my MacBook. Thank goodness I bought the extended warranty and got the drive replaced twice without charge. I forgot the circumstances of the first failure in Spring 2009, but the second failure was only last week after I tried to use Disc Utility to erase a CD-RW. I choose the longer, more thorough erase process, but when it was taking more than two hours, I stopped the procedure before it completed itself. After that, the drive would work only intermittently, spitting out most CD-ROMS and burning CDs only occasionally. I finally just went to the Genius Bar for a new one. (These guys are so busy these days that it took 3 days to install one they had in stock!)
