For some reason my g5 running Leopard doesn't want to complete the "checkin

I noticed that it is getting "stuck" about halfway through both the routine and manual attempts to check for new software.
Any ideas?

No, actually it gets stuck "checking" to see if there are any updates available. It doesn't freeze... my hard drive is pretty jammed butit's just checking to see if any updates are available... but never completes the process.
Sorry if I didn't explain it any better than that.

  • I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it.  For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in.  I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps.

    I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it.  For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in.  I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps. Old apple operating systems made it easy to have several folders open at one time. 

    Eric, thanks that works but seems like an extra added step also to do it that way.  I've got to move and organize a ton of files and I'm looking for a easy way to get this done.  I could also open the folder into a separate tab and then drag the tab out so it becomes an open window but thats a lot of fussing around also with extra steps.  Not sure why these newer operating system seems more confusing and less user friendly than what they used to.  In the past I could just click on any folder and it would open in a separate window making it really easy to copy or move files from one place to the other just by simply dragging them from one window to the other.  Seems like I'm going through several extra steps now to do a simple task.

  • I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

    Help!
    I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
    I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.

    I need to download my Verizon bill. For some reason my account says I'm a "Member" and not the "Manager" or "Owner" so I can't download the bill. I AM THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS ACCOUNT. I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EVER BEEN ON THIS ACCOUNT. ONLY ME. JUST ME.

    Prepaid accounts don't have Account Owners/Managers, they just have Account Members (and prepaid accounts have less options regarding changes via their My Verizon account as a result).

  • HT4060 For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    But  if that charger works just fine with your other iPad and not this one, I'd call up your local apple store and make an appointment so they can look at it. Usually when an iPad wont' charge (when plugged into the wall with its supplied charger) it's
    Bad outlet
    bad power brick
    bad cable
    and if the charger is working with another iPad then that rules that out and the thing left is something wrong with the 30 pin port on the iPad, or perhaps something with the battery or software that monitors the battery. ANd things like that are beyond a user fix.
    On the upside if the device is still under warranty - and barring any obvious signs of abuse or neglect - then it should be covered under the warranty.

    I'm on pages and for some reason this time, on a blank page, I cannot get the curser to show up.  Any ideas?

    I'll guess that you've opened a page layout template which does not have a text layer, therefore no cursor. You'll need to add text boxes or shapes to type in. If you just want to write a letter or similar, close the current document & then choose a blank document from the word processing section of the template chooser.

    Is it possible that you are using the same password for the old O2 Study and newer O2 Apple Base Station networks?
    If so, Keychain Access is storing the old information about the old network and may be associating it with your AirPort Extreme settings based on the BSSID that William has mentioned.
    If that's the case, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and look for a listing with the old network name. Delete this entry. You may need to power down both the computer and the AirPort Extreme and restart them.

  • I have a new i phone and for some reason it has picked up a wrong apple ID in the App Store, its OK in ITunes how can i correct this?

    I have a new i phone and for some reason it has picked up a wrong apple ID in the App Store, its OK in ITunes how can i correct this?

    The Apple ID for future purchases is in Settings>Store>Apple ID.  However, apps have to be updated using the Apple ID used to originally purchase them.  This can't be changed.  If the App store is asking you to provide a password for a different Apple ID when you are updating apps, it's because this ID was used to purchase it originally.

  • TS3679 I got the time capsule and it seems to be backing up everyday. For some reason I am running out of local disk space, and it looks like around 30 percent of the space is used in "Backup". Shouldn't back up space only be used in the time capsule?

    I would also like to know how can I delete/release the "backup" space used in my local hard drive? Why do I need the time capsule if it's using my local hardrive to back up?

  • I have an HP laptop preloaded with Adobe Premiere Elements 10. For whatever reason Elements will "run" on click, but not even open the load screen or anything and then act like I never tried to open it? whats going on?

    I bought my HP laptop in 2012, and it came preloaded with Adobe Premiere and Photoshop Elements 10
    It worked fine and I even made a few video edits back in 2012 but for the last year Elements just REFUSES to work properly
    I used to be able to open elements to at least the "what do you want to do?" screen
    But now It won't even open this...I have no idea why...
    If I double click the Elements application my computer slows down, bracing itself to load, and then ....thats it....it reverts to its normal speed and elements just doesn't open...
    Any help would be great cause I feel like I've exhuasted all self-troubelshooting options and need to either get help from the forums or take the laptop in before I smash it in rage

    Thanks for the reply with additional information.
    Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
    being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
    that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
    to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
    Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
    But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
    Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
    version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
    a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
    b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
    driver version roll back.
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

    Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
    later versions of Premiere Elements.

  • For some reason, Firefox is not saving ANY of my history. The back button is working, but I cannot open recently closed tabs, save tabs for previous visits or even view past history - it's just not there. Why won't my computer save history?

    I can navigate backward and forward within one tab, or within one browser session, but as soon as the tab or session closes it's like all record of it is wiped from my computer. I'm not sure if the problem is my computer or firefox, but there doesn't seem to be anything like this mentioned out there and I would really appreciate some help.

    Your useragent says your are running Firefox 3.6.13 -> is that true.
    If not, do the following and post back your new Firefox version:
    * Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
    * If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
    * Filter = general.useragent.
    * Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
    * Then restart Firefox
