Hi, does anyone know why does my imac wireless keyboard "hang" out of the blue? At the same time, when it hangs, i realize my itunes tab automatically launches. Can someone please help?
It seems to be automatically hang without a reason.
iCloud should still help you reduce some hard drive space. Just select "optimize" in the icloud tab in Mac Photo App preferences.
Granted, not the same as completely offloading your library to a back-up drive at your location.
Good Luck!

I tried updating my iPod 5th gen to iOS 8 but it only shows me a picture of the iTunes logo and a charger at the bottom, I'm not sure what this means or what I need to do. Can someone please help me?
After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

Switching on and off iCloud Drive loses my smart mailboxes. I have to restore them from Time Machine. Thank God Time Machine still works properly after the upgrade. Anyone know why this happens? Twice now.
Because smart mailboxes are stored in iCloud Drive, so they can sync across your various Macs.
Are you regularly turning iCloud drive off and on? If so, this will keep removing your smart mailboxes. Note that if you turn iCloud drive back on, your smart mailboxes should show back up, as they're stored there and the data will be re-downloaded from the server.
Presumably if you have iCloud drive off, and you create smart mailboxes in Mail, then they'll stay around. But if you turn iCloud drive on and back off again, I'd expect them to disappear. -
Time Capsule keeps disconnecting while trying to backup or copy files, can someone please help me?
I have a MacBook Pro, a Desktop PC running Windows 7 and a wifi router connected to the Broadband Internet. All devices share the same local network.
My Time Capsule (early 4th Generation) is connected via ethernet directly to the modem, I'm also able to connect wirelessly.
I also have an external seagate 3t drive connected to the time capsule.
For some strange reason, my Time Capsule keeps disconnecting form the Network after I try to access the data either in the tc or the hd, however the light is always green.
The problem mainly happens when copying data either from my Windows PC or my MacBook Pro: eventually, the connection between it and the Time Capsule is lost, interrupting the copy. It keeps happening every time, after a while, and only gets fixed rebooting Windows and the Time Capsule. I can't copy my PC data.
I've tried soft and hard reset, the time capsule it's discoverable again and able to connect either via ethernet or wirelessly, however if I try to copy something to it or do a backup, it immedialty disconnects itself.
Can someone please try to help me solve this issue?
ThanksWow! Thanks so much for such a prompt reply and for trying to help me, I really do appreciate it.
Your reply is so detailed because, unlike me, you are an expert, so I’ll try to answer the questions you are asking, however I’m not that good at computers so please be patient and excuse me.
1. Network layout.
What is the wifi router you have??
Answer: I’m connected to the internet through my ISP (centurylink formely Qwest) modem, ZyXel Q1000Z, I went to my modem page and copied this for you, it hope it helpsModem Status
Modem Parameter
Status
Firmware Version:
QZZ001-4.4.015.1-Q1000Z
Model Number:
Q1000Z
Serial Number:
S110Y12050750
WAN MAC Address:
40:4a:03:f4: I deleted some #s to post it
Downstream Rate:
20127 Kbps
Upstream Rate:

ISP Protocol
PPPoE
Encapsulation:
ATM - LLC Bridged
I presume this is modem as well.. please give all the details of the modem router .. make and model and what role it has in the network.. ie main router or bridged. If wireless is running what you do with it. Are devices connected to the modem router and so some devices are connected only indirectly to the TC?
Answer:
Make and model listed above, not sure about the bridge thing but in the image above it says something about encapsulation, does that help? If the wireless is running, (I assume you are talking about TC) I usually backup my MBP and my Windows PC, I also have a Seagate 3T Connected to the TC and I save music, photos and files on it to share within my network. Yes there are tons of devices connected to the modem, eg. Mac, MBP, MAir, Ipads, AppleTVs, iphones, printers, etc. Although when I first set-up time capsule (about 1 ½ years ago) I created a wireless network connection, Nobody ever connects to that network to access the internet, the only person that connects to the TC is me and that will be either through my MBP or my pc.
I think I should mention that my ISP modem is connected to my PC through and Ethernet cable, although I connect wirelessly to it and my TC is also using an Ethernet cable to connect to the modem, however I sometimes connect to TC wirelessly. Not sure if you needed to know that be just in case.
What setup and role does the TC have.. ie is it router or in bridge. If the main modem is also router than the TC must be bridged.
Answer: Not sure??
What firmware is the TC running?
Answer: 7.6.4
Has this been stable in the past and now has failed.. or was it always bad?
Answer: Yes!, it used to be stable before, I really never had issues, this has happened since last November I think.
2. Initial changes to get the ball rolling.
Let me strongly recommend you do these thing...
Comment:
I’m about to do your recommendations after I finish typing this, however I thought I should mention that while on Windows 7, I am only able to see the TC on Airport Utility as soon as I unplug the TC and plug it back in, other than that TC doesn't show up on it, I am only able to see the TC through Windows Explorer/Network. Also sometimes while I’m doing something else, like being on the net, I notice the HD connected to the TC seems to be reading something
All SMB compatible names.. that is for windows to work properly.. so short.. 2-10 is plenty of characters.. but make 20 the limit, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. (This is narrow, but easy to remember).
Comment:
When doing the factory reset do I need to this SMB thing? I’m a bit confused here, you are talking about me doing manually, so I can type something like this right?
Good TC name. TCGen4
Good 2.4ghz wireless name. TC24ghz
Good 5ghz wireless name TC5ghz
Exactly what format is the USB drive? Is it partitioned GUID and formatted HFS+ on the Mac?? this is the only way really.
Answer: The Hard Drive connected to the TC is a Seagate 3t, I did do a partition GUID and half of it is to be used in my mac and the other in pc, I had no issues in the past with these partitions, I was able to save files from my MBP to the HD and from my PC to the HD, and then later able to see either files on both my mac or pc.
I use my TimeMachine to Backup on the TC and it backs up both the TC and the HD connect it to it, I then have another HD connected to my MBP and do another backup there, I have lost information in the past and that’s is why I do so many backups.
I also wanted to mention that most of the time the TC disappears from the network is when I try to copy something to it.
I'm also enclosing a couple of photos of my windows airport utility, I am not sure if they will help you know something, I deleted my name and Ip address.
Thanks again LaPastenague -

I need help canceling a pre order off of iTunes
Hi 009,
I'm sorry you haven't been able to cancel your orders as you would have liked. Per BestBuy.com, in most cases, items for shipping can be canceled within 30 minutes of placing the order. In your most recent order, it had begun processing within an hour, after which even our moderators or BestBuy.com representatives are unable to cancel it. I see that it was delivered today. As poprex911 stated, you'll get your refund quickest by taking it to your local store with your order receipt, credit card and ID - this usually reflects in your account within 2-3 business days - or you can mail it back and your refund will be processed once it is received.
Thanks for sharing your feedback and experience,
Elizabeth|Social Media Supervisor|Best Buy® Corporate

Can someone please help me? I am having trouble activating my iPhone.
I attach my iPhone to my computer through the USB and the cradle. iTunes opens fine and it shows my iPhone. When the iPhone window opens I get the following error. We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active , then try again. Can someone please help me with thin. I have tried to contact apple support but havn't been able to get anyone. If you go to my profile and read my bio there is a link to a site where I sell my concert photographs. My site is www.davextreme.photoreflect.com or my myspace is www.myspace.com/davextreme1. I would be willing to send an 8X10 of any musician you want to anyone who helps me solve this problem.
"The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active , then try again."
This is usually the type of message you get when you have NO internet connection. It can also happen if the site that you are trying to contact is experiencing troubles or is just to busy at the time. Are you sure your connection is working properly? -
I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?
A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Does anyone know why I keep having to reinstall my Kaspersky security - could it be to do with being incompatible with apple security provided with my IMac desktop???? Help required please
This forum's veterans say "no anti-virus needed". I have not needed any despite some very accidental mis-spellings of IP adresses.
If any is felt necessary, ClamVax is free is the least intrusive of all options.
MacKeeper is effectively a virus itself to be avoided like the plague, along with anything from Zeobit.
Remove Kapersky, leave it off.
