Every ten minutes a popup on my 4s appears saying "unable to download" with the option of "done" or "retry". I can't get rid of it and I can't find out what it's trying to do! theres noting pending on the App Store or iTunes. Nothing failed. I've reset my settings. Logged out and back into itunes. It's really annoying as rinsing my data!
After talking to Apple for 3 hours I figured it out myself.
Tre here was a singular failed song on iTunes on the computer that was trying to download and messing everything up. Maybe if you use iTunes on the computer and have a little mooch you'll find the same thing. I think it was hidden in the purchased part of it

Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?
Maybe it's set as a login item:
- System Preferences: Users and Groups:
- Highlight your user account in the left pane/list
- Click "Login" tab at the top.
See if you have an Automater action on the list
- Note, you can select it, then right-click, and can then select "Reveal in Finder". That way you might have an idea what installed it. -
I just formatted my hard drive and I need to find out what my "wireless password is"
I just formatted my hard drive and I need to find out what my "wireless password is". I was in a hurry when I did format my PC that when I got to given my wireless a password, I used the same one as before. Now I have tried to finding what it is for my other products, I don't know where to look. Do I or can I change the password without losing anything? Need help PLEASE
[Personal Information Removed]Hi:
You need to read your router's configuration instructions on how to access the router's menu.
Hopefully you can access that and in the wireless security menu you will find the passkey to use.

I just got my Mac yesterday. My kids want to access sites that need the adobe player. When I try and download it asks for a password. I do not even remember setting one up? How do i find out what it is?
FYI this is the legitimate Flash Player installer:
This one is bogus:
As X423424X wrote do not download it from any site other than the one he linked.
Adobe does not require a password to download the Flash installer. Generally speaking passwords are not required to download software, unless you must register with the website so as to log in. In that case you should never use the same name and password you use to administer your Mac. -

Whenever I go to make an in-app purchase, a message pops up saying "this is not a test user account." What does that mean and how can I get rid of it so I can purchase things?
Try a soft-reset and see if it works after your phone has restarted (it seems ot have fixed the error for a number of people on here) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

I have an old TC (500GB) and I need to find out what's on it.
Currently I have a 2TB TC backing up my iMac. I have an older, smaller TC (500GB) that I think came from a previous HD failure on an older iMac, and I think any info was migrated to a new HD. If I unplug the current TC and plug in the older one, will I see what's on it? If so, and it's contents have already been transferred (which is why I want to see), how can I wipe the TC clean to use as storage? If the data from this old TC was migrated to a new HD, would the old TC be wiped clean? This was done at the Apple store. Am I clear on this? I'm concerned the small TC will begin a backup of my iMac , which isn't my purpose, as I'm looking to start over with this smaller TC. I was unable to find a discussion which answers this. Thanks.
Let me answer the last bit first.
I'm concerned the small TC will begin a backup of my iMac
A TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in an airport router.. it will do nothing.. it will sit on the network and do nothing at all. All smarts for backup are Time Machine which is software on the computer.. and TM will not start doing new backups unless you tell it.
If I unplug the current TC and plug in the older one, will I see what's on it?
Yes.
Unplug a computer from the network.. your imac.. !! And plug in the old TC. LAN to LAN port.
Do a factory reset of the TC if the computer cannot then access the TC.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
If the data you are trying to find is in TM backup it is not easy to find out what you are missing.
Please follow the instructions here.

If the data from this old TC was migrated to a new HD, would the old TC be wiped clean?
The apple store will not wipe the old TC .. or at least that would not be good practice. It is your data and your job to keep or delete it.
If you want to wipe the TC open the airport utility and go to the disk tab and select erase.. if you are keeping the TC for yourself.. just do a quick erase.. takes a minute or two.. if you want to sell it then do a one pass erase which will take a few hours.
If you want to use the old TC .. remember it is now 4 years old.. maybe nearer 5years.. it has done its time.. it will die shortly.. suddenly and without recourse. If you put info on it you need.. you will regret it. -
I have a macbook pro 2009 and I want to find out what the refresh rate is, I need it to be 70 hz
I need to find out what the refresh rate is. I went into system preferences and clicked on display, and saw refresh rate, but it said n/a. I need mine to be at least 70 hz, I can't find the answer anywhere.

I installed Acrobat Reader DC version 2015.007.20033 on May 3 as an upgrade to the previous version (which worked perfectly). Now some of my pdf files have greyed-out blocks obscuring the text (which I imagine is being hidden by the blocks). In some cases the whole document is illegible. What has happened? How do I get rid of the problem?
Don't know what the problem was, but it disappeared after uninstalling the programme and re-installing it. (It may have had something to do with the few preference changes I made in trying to customise the appearance to look like the previous Adobe version, but if so, I'm not clear which (one?) of them caused the grey-outs).

The Other section on your iPod consists of a number of different things, including album artwork, your iPod's software, files you may be storing externally on it, games, and a few other things. However, it can usually include corrupt files from failed sync operations with iTunes. Usually the Other section should only be a small fraction of what's stored on your iPod, usually less than 1 GB.
So it sounds like your iPod may be corrupt, in which case you'll need to connect it to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.

It seems to be in some sort of boot up command string. I have no idea where to look? Thanks for any advice. It is a long trip to the nearest apple store.
You have probably downloaded the Norton program which is one of the least desirable helpmates you can invite in.

How can I find out what causes a program to NOT RESPONDING status suddenly?
After a very long period of functioning without serious problems a program suddenly doesn't start anymore, showing this funny rotating ball and a message in the Activity Monitor that this program is not responding. I have searched the log files meticulously, hoping to find some clues what caused the stuck, but no chance of course. Is there a more or less "educated way" to find out, what happened and how to prevent it in the future?
Thanks a lot in advanceSome of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
