Hope I'm in the right place.  First time user.  Not tech savvy.  Just upgraded to OSX Mavericks.  Box keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password.  I keep entering my password but box keeps popping back up asking for password?!  I selected cancel but what should I do next time it asks for my iCloud password?  Is my iCloud working?  How do I retrieve my password?
Thanks

In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

  • I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive. :(

    I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive.

    You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
    If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.

    P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

  • If i buy a macbook within the next week or two, will i get a free upgrade to osx mavericks?

    If i buy a macbook within the next week or two, will i get a free upgrade to osx mavericks?

    As Agney said, OS X Mavericks will be launched in fall.
    Apple hasn't announced a free upgrade program to Mavericks for users that purchased a Mac weeks before the OS X Mavericks launch, so we don't know if you will be able to upgrade to OS X Mavericks for free. Wait for an announcement

  • I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and when i use the gestures on my magic track pad it responds oddly.  Sometimes it won't recognize when my simple gesture of scrolling through a document.

    I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and when i use the gestures on my magic track pad it responds oddly.  Sometimes it won't recognize when my simple gesture of scrolling through a document.

    Gestures is not working like it did before. The side to side, forward back swipe, is very picky. Sometimes it takes four or five tries before it works. And yes I know how to do it. I have had a magic trackpad for about one year. And was greatly pleased by how it worked, BEFORE Mavericks. It has has indeed changed.

  • I have just upgraded to OSX Maverick and now my Apple TV has taken over my iTunes videos. I have tried turning off homeshare and iHave gone into system prefs and disabled the remote, but the problem persists. Any ideas.

    After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV  has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.

    I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
    I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful.

  • Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • I have just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and I have an annoying issue, this happened after I used clean mymac app and do some routine scanning. After it was done, I have noticed that Preview app doesn't work anymore, it just keeps crashing up until now

    Anyone having issues of Preview.app crashing in OSX Mavericks?

    No but CleanMyMac ca cause destructive issues to your system. I would recommend uninstalling it completely as per the Developers instructions, and if Preview still is not working, then chances are good that CleanMyMac has corrupted it and you may need to reinstall Mavericks (after backing up your system)

  • I hope I'm in the right place...  Puzzling Startup Problem.

    I've got an iBook G4 running OS X 10.4.2.
    Here's what went wrong. I was running Software Update today, and it started installing the new Tiger update (10.4.3). Somewhere along the line it froze, along with several other programs that were running (Safari and iTunes, I think). I tried to force-quit those other programs, but accidentally force-quit-ed the update instalation instead. Once all programs were closed I attempted to re-run the software update, but System Preferences kept quitting on its own, and when it tried to send notice to Apple that something had quit "unexpectedly," that message utility shut itself down as well. So I restarted the computer, and recieved only a grey screen with a grey Apple logo, nothing more -- no spinning gear-thing, and the drive is clearly not spinning. Now that's all I get.
    Here's what I tried to do to get things working again. I tried to boot in Safe Mode, but nothing happened after about 7 minutes of holding down the shift key. I tried resetting both my RAM and my Power Management Unit (at the direction of someone at Tech Support), to no avail. I booted from a Tiger install disk (not my own, unfortunately, which I don't have at the moment; I had to borrow one from a friend) and ran the Disk Utility to repair the hard drive; Disk Utility told me there was nothing to repair. I even tried to boot in single-user mode to run fsck. Here's where things happened that I don't understand, because I don't know a thing about programming language and code and whatnot. When I tried to boot in single-user mode I got this message about 8 times in a row (I'll type out the whole thing since I don't know what is and isn't important):
    kld(): Undefined symbols:
    _ZN11IOPCIBridge18compareAddressCellEmPmS0
    kldload_frommemory() failed for module com.apple.driver.AppleMacRiscPCI
    Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleMacRiscPCI
    Couldn't alloc class "AppleMacRiscAGP"
    Couldn't alloc class "AppleMacRiscPCI"
    Then it spits out a string of characters I don't understand, and gives me over and over again the message "Still waiting for root device." It never gets to a command line prompt.
    So, questions: (1) What the heck is going on? (2) Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling my OSr, or is it time for last resorts? And an ignorant question: will reinstalling the OS cause me to lose data -- files, music, that sort of thing?
    Thanks for your time, and your patience.

    Heya, Jonathan. Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Congratulations, and welcome to the fun-filled world of kernel panics. Yup, that's the text in the gray box you're getting.
    The good news is you don't necessarily have to reinstall Mac OS X. If you have access to another computer and a FireWire cable, you can reinstall the 10.4.3 update, and everything should be groovy.
    * Connect the two computers via FireWire cable. Your iBook should not be on yet.
    * Boot up your iBook and hold down the 'T' key as it starts up. The iBook will enter Target mode.
    * Download the Mac OS 10.4.3 update on the other computer.
    * Run the 10.4.3 updater as normal, but select the hard drive of your iBook when you get to the list of available volumes.
    Failing that, you can reinstall Mac OS X on your iBook from your install DVD. When you select your volume, make sure you click on the 'Options' button and select 'Archive and Install'. You'll retain all your personal files and network settings, but you might have to reinstall applications, haxies, etc.

  • Hope this is in the right place...

    ...and apologies if it isn't
    i am hoping to upgrade my 6680 to N93 and junk my iPaq so that i have all my information in one place - but before i do i have one question...
    does the PIM function - notably the calendar and 'to do' - carry more information than on the 6680?
    currently i sync my 6680 with my iMac and it works really well but only takes the headline information, so no notes or details associated with the event or the 'to do'. is this still the case on symbian S60 or will it take more information on sync?
    hope this is clear and thanks in advance for any help.
    cheers

    Do you have the n93? is it out? i can't wait to get my hands on one
    Phones i owned so far 6630,6680,N90,N93*

  • HT2729 hi, sorry first time user here! i just purchased a television series in HD but i only want to keep the SD (I read when you buy HD you recieve HD and SD) versions to cut down on space. How do i delete the HD version? Thanks

    am i able to delet a hd version but keep a sd?

    Delete some of the content on your iPad. If you have other TV shows that you have already watched or other movies that you've already watched, go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Videos. Swipe across any of the shows or movies to bring up the red delete button.
    You should be able to download them again later. But read this first.

  • Cannot Connect to the ITunes Store - First time user of Phone

    Hi All. I am trying to use the phone for the 1st time and this message comes up when I push the ITUNES Icon. Any fixes for this? Apple said the store maybe down but that was 12 hours ago. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi all. Apple says ITUNES will not work because no WIFI network is available. Does that make sense? Should one be provided from the car or outside the house or need I be where a DSL and router is located? Thanks all.

  • Just upgraded to OSX Maverick/Pages 5.0.  Hyperlinking Pages docs together functionality seems to have been removed. Pls confirm. (You can still define text as a hyperlink to a web page or an email address but all links to other Pages docs were removed :(

    Has anyone found a way of hyperlinking Pages 5.0 docs on Maverick?  Made extensive use of hyperlinking many Pages docs together.  On opening my Pages docs in Pages 5.0, get advisory dialogue box stating 'Spotlight data has been removed' and the doc opens fine, but the 'upgrade' file transformation has apparently removed a whole lot more.  Will have to migrate all my data to another app if this is no longer possible.  Painful. Time consuming.  Hoping there is a solution/patch available shortly.

    And there are those who don't like me repeating the same message over and over again in this forum!
    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
