Each time I start up my MacBook Air a document appears on the desk top -calendarlogging.txt  I'm synching my calendar with iCloud.  Using Mavericks, but the same file was appearing using Lion.  Any thoughts.  Thanks

Each time I start up my MacBook Air a text file appears on the desk top (calendarlogging,txt) the file/document contains lines of code.  I'm using iCloud to synch my calendar to multiple other devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone.  Using Maverick on both my iMac and my MacBook Air.  The file was also showing up on the desktop when I was using Lion.  Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,
To anyone who might read this, I ended up re-installing with the original install disc and was able to get back on to Mac, though I lost all of the previous data that I had not backed up. Unsure still if it will continue to let me access the HDD in this, but it kind of confirms that installing Lion probably put too much stress on the computer this last year.

  • HT204053 I previously use an apple id , I have tried to reset and even changed the id on the settings on my phone but each time I try to update an apple apps , I keep getting the same old ID on my phone. What do I do?

    Is the same true for using the App Store with a desktop machine? Someone installed a program on my machine (the IT department) and I would like to install the updates but it was installed under a different Apple ID. This anyone know how to change, or work around this particular issue?
    Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • I tried to register my macbook air 2013 and it said the serial number was already registered

    I tried to register my macbook air 2013 and it said the serial number was already registered.  I purchased it in my city at an authorized reseller beucase there isn't any Apple Store and they told me that they haven't registered it.
    How can I solved this trouble? I want to registrer it.
    Thank you very much.

    It could be that it was automatically registered when Apple sold it to the reseller (which is what they usually do). It is best to contact Apple and provide your proof of purchase so the machine can be registered in your name.

  • Since I installed FF4 each time I start up internet FF doesn't open and gives the report that it cannot find the proxyserver.

    Already I have changed the settings to no proxy, but it doesn't work. Each time I want to open internet again I get the same report and I have to change the setting to no proxy again! Also I noticed that FF has changed the proxy adjustment himself to 'manual proxy configuration' where it has introduced HTTP-proxy 127.0.0.1 and port 63030 himself! How can I change this for good?! So that I don't have to change the setting each time I want to open internet.

    Thank you for this information. I am going to get rid of my  i Phone5c because of this policy of Apple!  Maybe they need sued to stop this policy!

  • Firefox disappears from my dock and I have to copy it to my Apps folder each time I start up, and I am then prompted to install the latest version, but notification will not go beyond contacting server.

    I have tried many of the suggested solutions from online communities, like uninstalling and reinstalling, but I still have the same problem - Firefox disappears from my dock, when I click on the 'question mark' in the dock to open it, I'm asked to copy to my Apps folder, which I have to do each time and replace old version. Then I'm prompted to install the latest version, but when I do this, it gets stuck on contacting server. Please help! I'm using Yosemite 10.10.

    Do you have the current version of list.it (version 0.4.8.9.1)? This page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12737/ indicates it is compatible with all Firefox 3.6.* versions.
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions shows what version. If it is old, click "Find Updates" at the bottom of the Extensions window.

  • OS X 10.6.8 was playing DVD now won't recognize store bought discs.  Normal Discs no HD and the same discs work on imac.  Any thoughts?  Is there a patch or a way to reload possibly or a system utility that I can run?  Thanks anyone

    I don't know what changed but it just won't recognize a disc any more.  The DVD player itself seems to open up, but the disc just spins in the case and after 20 seconds it spit it back out like nothing ever happened.  The same disc plays fine on the imac.

  • My iPhone mail app deletes emails from my hotmail. How can I get my MacBook Air mail app to do the same?

    Hi
    When using Mail on my MacBook Air (I don't open it often), i receive hundrends of emails through it, even if those messages have been deleted from my iPhone/hotmail.
    When i set up Mail on my iPhone there was an option that enabled deleted/read messages to also be deleted/read on hotmail automatically.
    I can't work out how to join up my MacBook mail with this too? Anybody know what I mean and can help??
    Thanks

    Comcast is POP email. I have it as well. POP email does not sync across devices. If I read an email on my iPad it will appear as unread on my Mac in the Mac Mail App when I launch it.That's how POP accounts work. The emails will not sync across devices.

  • Every time I start up Firefox, it always prompts me to reisntall the same pile of add-ons and extentions; I install them; still happens; why?

    Regarding Firefox 16.0.2. Every time I start up Firefox, especially after a period with my comp in standby mode, I am always asked to install several add-ons and extentions. Always the same ones, and always several. I install them, again and again, yet I am still always prompted to reinstall every time I start Firefox. I've always had this batch installed, but I don't know why it keeps telling me to reinstall them.

    Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then also see:

  • I have a new macbook pro and just installed latest firefox. The problems is i can't seem to disable the tabs from appearing each time i restart firefox. I did uncheck every box in the peferences tab menu, still can't stop the tabs from appearing.

    New Macbook pro with lion
    Firefox 10.0

    Hi dcast01,
    Are you saying that it restores your old tabs when you restart? Have you looked at ''Preferences > General'' to see if Firefox is set to restore your tabs from the last session? You should change it to ''When Firefox Starts: Show my home page''.
    Or is your issue that you keep seeing the tab that says "welcome to firefox" when you start the browser? If that's the case, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Where do I find the .plist file for finder in Lion?

    When I open a new finder window, it doesn't have anything in it. If I change the preferences to another place, I get the contents. If I change them back to the desktop, I get nothing. Searching for something gets me items, but I would like my finder window to behave again. I just don't know where the preferences file is now, in Lion...
    thanks so much

  • Unable to open windows using boot camp.  Get message "The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk."  Any thoughts, Thank you.

    Unable to open windows using boot camp.  Get message "The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk."   I am using an Imac , Lion operating system, and Windows 7.  It worked a few days ago.  Any thoughts, Thank you.

    Note that nowhere in the Boot Camp instructions does it tell you to use Disk Utility to format the Windows partition. The Boot Camp Assistant program creates the partition & sets the +partition scheme info+ of the disk as appropriate for the Windows installer but the Windows installer itself is responsible for formatting the new partition with the appropriate +file system scheme+ (NTFS for Windows 7).
    If you follow the instructions in the Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide to the letter you should have no problems installing Windows.

  • Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup.  However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails.  And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external.  Sort of a catch 22.  Any ideas?

    Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup.  However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails.  And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external.  Sort of a catch 22.  Any ideas?

    Is it a USB hard drive?  USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice.  Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem.  If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time.  I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

  • My wife has an iPhone with an Appleaddress and password.  I now have an iPad and am unable to sign in using her Apple ID.  I am also unable to create a Free Apple ID as our email address (Apple ID) is being used by her.  Any thoughts - Thanks Colin

    My wife has an iPhone with an Apple address and password.  I now have an iPad and am unable to obtain an Apple ID.  I have tried using her's and am  unable to create a Free Apple ID as our email address (Apple ID) is being used by her.  Any thoughts - Thanks Colin.
    PS Hope ths explains it

    Why can't you use her ID? My wife, my daughter and I all use my Apple ID.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and try to sign in there with her ID. Make sure that you are entering all of the information (password) correctly.
    If you really want to create a new Apple ID - use your own email address, but I would recommend using only one ID anyway.

  • Just installed latest Itunes, and system now grinds to a halt, caused by apsdaemon.exe and apple mobile using 99% processing. Have stopped these processes, but each time I start Itunes I have to do it all over again, any help would be appreciated

    Having just installed the latest iTunes update, I find my system grinds to a complete standstill. I've checked and found two apple processes, apsdaemon.exe and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 90% plus of my processor, so have stopped these. However, each time I start iTunes the same situation occurs. Is there anyway I can remove these exes from my system or is apple aware of this stupid update and what are they doing about it. Any guidance would be very much appreciated

    What version of itunes were you using before you updates?
    Have you checked other related post?
    iTtune will require applemobiledeviceservices.exe and others to run.  What you are experencing is usually caused by a conflict with other software on you system.  Everybodys system is set up differently, so there is not a "one fix all".  Most commonly associated with Firefox addons, video accelerator software, podcasts on the backup, anivirus software, parential control software, take you pick!
    I found my fix here.
