Finder freezes when I try to connect to my ethernet 500GB hard disc
Hello there, I hope you can help me with this major problem:
For a month my powerbook connected fine to my external hard disc with an airport connection. But recently a problem occured: whenever I tried to connect to the external disc Finder froze after I gave my username and password.
My disc is divided in three shares and normally I get the option to choose wich share I want to access. Now I got the beachball forcing me to do a hard boot.
Maybe because of several hard boots I'm having problems with other programs: I cannot access in the system preferences panel: Accounts, Security (fileVault) and the Network Share folder (i'm not using an English OS and I don't know the english translation)
Other programs than don't open: Activity monitor, Mail and maybe some others that I still don't know off.
Disc Utility opens but gives beachball. I ran Disc Utility from the installation DVD and restored permissions, but it doesn't help me any further.
Help appreciated

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Turn off WiFi as well.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Hopefully the iPad will see your home network now so go back to Settings>WiFi>Tap on your network name>enter your Password>Tap Join.

First, try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive.
Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive. This just started happening in the past couple of days. I haven't installed any software, or made any updates (that I can remember.) When the browser freezes I can't "force quit" them. I have to manually shut the computer down are restart it. I would appreciate any help you can provide.
HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Safari and Firefox box.... it could be a problem with the hard drive itself, not your browsers.
Just to make sure, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary, Repair any errors Disk Utility reports.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

Current Setup:
Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo with built-in Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet. Windows 8 Pro. Intel i5-3570k (using onboard Intel 4000 HD Graphics). RAID0- 2 OCZ Vertex 4's.
I will refer to this setup as my tower.
The Ethernet port works fine by itself. When I use wired tethering with my Android phone (Droid 4 running on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich), it works fine when nothing is connected into the Ethernet port in the mobo.
The issue arises when I try to connect both simultaneously. The network configuration window in windows basically freezes and I cannot really navigate it without a ~60 second delay at best.
I would like to be able to accept the internet from my Android via a USB tether and either bridge the connection or use the internet connection sharing service to route traffic through the unused Ethernet port on the mobo (either to another computer/xbox
or more desirably a switch/router to spread to the entire home network). I have extensively researched the issue of Windows 8 become slow and unresponsive when I attempt to do this and I have not found anyone with the exact problem. I am able to
do both the MAC bridge miniport (bridge 2 connections) and Internet Connection Sharing though a Windows Vista (home premium) Laptop I have. The difference between the laptop and the tower I am try to do this on is the laptop has a WIFI and Ethernet connection
while the tower only has the on-board Ethernet.
Do I have all the necessary equipment to accomplish this, or do I need to buy a PCIe WIFI card? If so could I get away with just getting a USB WIFI dongle?
Any help would be very appreciated.I had the same problem and came here by searching.
Per Rosengren's method solved the problem, but he didn't say how to do it, so I'll try to explain step-by-step for anyone that may venture here.
Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
Now you will have two options:
- Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
- Remote NDIS Compatible Device
I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
Pick one and click Next. If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
I should also note that I'm using a custom Android ROM on HTC Wildfire S (unofficial Cyanogenmod). If you have a stock ROM with HTC Sense, maybe this method may not work and you'll need a proprietary HTC driver. -
Finder Freezes when I try to get file info
G5, OSX 3.9
Occasionally finder will freeze and become unresponsive when I try to check a file's info. I control+click on the file and the drop down menu appears normally, but when I click "Get Info" the Finder freezes; I get the spinning colour wheel of death and Finder won't respond. Forcing Finder to re-launch works fine and I haven't had to restart the computer yet, but I want to nip this problem in the bud right now before it gets any worse.
Can anyone help?Buy DISK WARRIOR Software is only one is best to fix your HD problem! You can download in Site: www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
It is same as mine, but worser than yours... My internal HD is failure, Do not restart often it can create heaviest corrpt in Files! Back up Important included Mail, Preferences, Applications you downloaded, etc to External HD or to CD-RW. If you have External HD, Do it, before too late.
No Disk Utility or FCSK(FSCK?) can you trust, because they cannot tell if its HD is bad...
Remember if Finder is freezing, it is in HD with sereve corrpt in this file which cannot fix. Do not restart it, Back up all... I did try like you do, but nothing work out without Disk Warrior. Make sure Back up all before it stop working. If it is, then buy new HD.
I tried do Clean Install (Archive and Install), but still the same problem as even getting worser... Its "Bootstrap Errors" Bad errors I found out its in HD during installing while opening Error log (in Installer menu?). Let me give you link I learned:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1999003&
That is all if it is helpful to you. Smile...

Error 403 when I try to connect to iCloud
I recently bought a used iphone 4 (iOS 7.0.4) and when I try to connect this iphone to icloud with my apple username and password, I get an error 403 (I haven't got any icloud account before). When I try to create a new icloud account, It tells me that it's impossible and that this iphone is not more allowed to create a icloud free account. How can I do to create a new icloud account?
thanksThey told me that my Iphone has reached the maximum number of iCloud accounts creations, 3 as you wrote. But I spoke to a very kind guy from the Apple assistance and after two long calls for trying to find wherefrom my problem was, he contacted Apple engineers and they allowed me to create one more icloud account with my iphone.
So, for others who got this 403 error, it means that your ID is an Apple ID but not An iCloud ID and that you cannot create a iCloud account ... unless if you phone them maybe.
Many thanks to Apple assistance. -
i just downloaded iTunes for my Windows 8 laptop and get an error message when i try to connect to the iTunes store (-3212)
Hello Steve,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store. I recommend the following steps for error (-3212):
"Error 3000" through "3999"
Alerts with codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try removing the proxy settings, or using a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

I just bought a brand new iPhone 5 (White and Gold) and have been having trouble keeping it connected to my BlueTooth Stereo. The stereo was purchased brand new back in September and is current on all software. Before I had my iPhone 5, I had the iPhone 4 and had no troubles with it connecting or remembering to connect to the stereo when it was in range. Now, in order to connect to it, I have to first "forget the device" then search for it again, find it, and connect. As soon as I turn either the stereo off, turn the iPhone off, or switch modes on the stereo (to CD mode, radio, etc) it loses the connection and does not pick it up again. It still shows up in my list of available bluetooth devices, but when I try to connect it says "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure '____' is turned on and in range" which of course, it is.
I bought this stereo because I am a music teacher and use my phone frequently when teaching my classes. You can probably imagine how cumbersome it becomes when after each class if I have alternated between using my iPhone to play music or switching to CD mode, I then need to "forget the device" and follow the steps I outlined above to get it working again.
Has anyone else had this problem with the new iPhone and does anyone have a solution (I HOPE!!!!!)
Thanks!

I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my itunes on my computer. My itunes music lists all of the music, but cannot find it when I try to load it to my phone.
The songs are on my ipod, but not on my phone and I don't know how to get them from one device to the other.In your case, it would be better to have transferred the library to an external drive from the PC. Then, connect it to the iMac and put the library onto the Music folder.
You used Migration Assistant, and it creates a new user with the transferred data.
Open > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, open a Finder window, choose Music in the sidebar and you will see the iTunes library. Now, you have to move the iTunes library to /Users/Shared (select Go menu -in the menu bar- > Go to Folder, type that and copy the iTunes library to it). Finally, log in the other user, go to the same folder and move the library to the Music folder.
After doing that, open System Preferences > Users and Groups, choose the user created by Migration Assistant and press the - button to remove it. This is easier if you have an external drive -

my mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
When I try to connect to the wi-fi net work at my work place on my new iPad 3 I get a message, "unable to join the network". I have verified the password, so I know it is correct. I know the wi-fi works, because I can connect at home. I have already tried the following:
turn wi-fi off and on again
did a hard restart of my iPad
reset network connections back to factory settings
verified wi-fi is working as my computer accesses internet without issue.
verified that my software is up to date.
Does anyone have more suggestions?Couple of suggestions.
First, many companies have a gateway on their networks that block non approved devices. I work in such a place. You might check with an IT guy , and see if they have a block in place.
Second, the message you are getting means that you have not negotiated the security settings. So either the password is wrong ( case sensitive), or, in some cases, they want a network key as opposed to your normal password.
Again, if you can find one, talk to an IT guy and see if he has some suggestions.
