Fire vault will not finish encryption because it says it needs to be plugged in which it is

I just got a refurbished macbook pro 2014 15" about an hour ago and I have my first problem.
I booted it up and everything was fine until I checked on the fire vault encryption. It took a while but it got to the last sliver of a loading bar at "optimizing" and then it stopped. I didn't do anything, it just stopped and gave me the paused indicator. It said I needed to plug it in, which it had been from the start so I fiddled with it for a bit and restarted it and then there was no more "plug in" indicator, but it was and is still paused. Please help, I am quit sad that I haven't even had it for two hours and it is having problems.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

My phone will not come on because it says i need to plug it into itunes, so i did and now it will not restore. I have changed the USB cable, used different USB ports and used a different computer however errors still keep happening. Please help.

You need to tell us exactly what the errors your getting say.

I reloaded iWork 08 on my iMac after a crash. All documents created on this ap now will not read. Error message says I need a newer version to read the document.

After a crash on my iMac, I reloaded iWork 08 from my disk. All the documents I created in this ap will no longer open. Message says I need a newer version of Pages to open this document. I can find nothing on this problem in apple support.

It sounds as you have had iWork09 on your computer. Check that you don't have a iWork09 CD.

I want to post my iPad from Australia to the US but Australia Post will not accept it because they say it has a lithium battery and cannot be put on an airplane. Is the battery in it a lithium battery?

I need to post my iPad from Australia to the USA but Australia Post is refusing to do it because they say the lithium battery in the iPad mini will be detrimental in the aircraft. Does anyone know if the iPad mini DOES have a lithium battery? The alternative is to use FedEx which will be too expensive.

It is. I doubt that there is any tablet or phone on the market that is not using a lithium battery.
Today's cameras, cell phones, watches, etc. also use lithium batteries yet they're routinely taken onboard aircraft. Again, it's not the same as the several tons on the Malaysian flight.

IPhoto and therefore my whole computer will not turn off because it say's "Photos are being imported to Photo library, Please wait for import to complete." How do I stop the upload?

I have tried turning off iclowd and other things that would automatically upload photos but that still didnt work. I can not upgrade my computer because it wants to restart the computer, but iphoto stops the shut down process. It says I need to wait for the download to complete. But I can not find anything uploading. please help.

It has said this for about a month now and I would just hide iPhoto since I could not close it. I have not needed to turn off my computer until now. But now it is a problem because I can not upgrade my computer

HT204291 Netflix will not work with IOS 7 on my HD TV, The screen comes up but will not play video. It says i need to disable mirroring. I dont have a Apple TV any suggestions?

Netflix will not work on my HD Tv with the New IOS7. All other and movies clips work fine. The netflix screen says you need to disable mirroring to play. It plays on the ipad but just the Netflix screen on the tv. Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!

Once I installed FF 7.0.1, all websites with Quicktime videos will not play. Each page says I need to install QT. I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion. Everything worked in FF 6.*

I'm using a Mac, OSX Lion. I've been using Firefox for years. Lately I've been using version 6.**, meaning I keep the version up to date as updates come out. Quicktime videos have never been an issue. But, once I installed FF version 7.0.1, websites now tell me I need to install QT. This makes no sense. Worked in FF 6, doesn't work in FF 7. Videos on Apple's website won't play in FF 7.0.1. Says I need to install QT. Makes no sense, QT is part of the OS X Lion install.

I had the same problem with divx also and here is a solution that will work for both first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

Icloud will not back up because it says email address not verified. I am not getting a link in my email to follow to verify account, checked email address listed is correct, so how do I verify email address when I dont get the email link?

I am unable to verify email address to sign in to icloud so that I can backup my stuff. I am not getting an email from apple to follow a link to verify email address. I have checked to make sure the email address is correct in the icloud settings, but all it will tell me is to check my email for instructions on how to verify my account. I am not getting the email! Please help, I am able to sign in to my itunes account and buy new music all the time! I get my itunes receipts and everything, and know the email is correct so what is the deal?

If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.

HT1947 Fun bridge keeps hanging up. I reinstall and then it works until yesterday. It shows I installed it but it is not showing up. When I go to where I can reinstall it, it will not let me because it says I have already installed it on this device.

Can someone please help? I have has issues with an ap that I have to pay ongoing to use and, last time, it was about $100, for 1000 deals of bridge. It hangs up often, for want of a better description. What I have done in the past is uninstall and the reinstall it. Yesterday I did this but it no longer shows on my screen. When I go back to try to install it, I am "told" it has already been installed but it is not here. I am not a newbie. I have also sent them a message, from two places reserved for that by them and, both times, I get an error. Their development site is in French so that does not help me.
I see nowhere on my IPAD2 settings where I can do anything such as delete an existing ap. Apple wants me to pay them $29 for one-time help and I do not think this is fair for something I am paying for that is not working. I have paid over $200 total for this ap and it's continuing usage. The ap is free but to really use it, you have to pay ongoing charges.
Thank you in advance for help,

You are not using iPhoto properly and are in danger of losing your photos
iPhoto is a SQP database application and there are NO user servicable parts in the database (by default the iPhoto library) It is extremely important that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the content (or structure) of the iPhoto library
The only safe (and suppoprted) way to resize photo is to select them and export using the various esize options in teh export dialogue and use those resized photos - this is a bathc process and does not involve Preview nor does it involve seperate processing for each photo

HT201266 It's saying I need to log into iTunes to be able to use the App Store, but it won't let me log into iTunes because it says I need to log into iTunes which makes no sense whatsoever to me any help? Thanks

if if anyone can help me out i would be so thankful

Go to the main iTunes store screen.
Go to the very bottom right of thes creen and click flag/marble icon.
Select the US store.
Instead of selecting *Create account*, select Redeem.
Input the card number then select Create new account (unless you already have an iTunes account then use that).
If these iTunes gift cards are from the US, you need to create a US iTunes account with a US address.

Itunes will not open on macbook. says requires quicktime 7.5.5 or later.

Have a macbook and when I try to open itunes it says that itunes requires quicktime 7.5.5 or later. I try to download quicktime as i have 7.5 and it tells me to manage software through the software update function. The software update function will not find an update for quicktime. Help! Not sure how to get itunes set up

Hi there,
I have also just updated my computer via the system updates. I am running OS Snow Leopard 10.5.8, and my iTunes won't open and then prompts me for a Quicktime update 7.5.5.
Now, I have gone through the Apple support and downloaded the Quicktime update 7.5.5 for OS 10.5 or later (or whatever it was - the second from the top?). Anyways, it says it installed properly and that I need to restart my laptop. Once I have restarted, iTunes still will not open and it still says I need to update Quicktime.
I have tried a few other solutions and nothing seems to work. Do you have any further suggestions on what I have to do to make this work? I'd really not like to have to use another media player to play music. And I don't really want to have to go out and buy a new laptop.. Although I'm starting to get really frustrated with the apparent lack of support for older versions.
Any thing you can suggest will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You need to restart the iMac and hold down the Command and R keys immediately.
You will then have the utilities drop down and you choose Terminal
When Terminal opens, type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Return.
When the Reset Password window opens, select the user for which you want to change the password.
Enter the new password twice, and then click Save.
Accept the next dialog window,
And then Apply
When finished click the apple at the left side of the menu bar, and the Restart.

Fire vault will not finish encryption because it says it needs to be plugged in which it is
