How can I fix SMART disk errors?

Ive had SMART disk errors for years now and its not allowing me download maverick or yosimite. I tried to download embroidery software just now and now it says “no file system” or something like that. What do I have to do to finally fix this annoying problem? I have done disk utility repair and I guess that was no go. Can anyone walk me through fixing this or do I have to basically buy a new computer? If its a matter of sifting through data someone can walk me through but if they gotta open up the guts on this thing, then I guess I’m in trouble. Any advice?

so all of the problems were due to an apple problem? I guess I missed out on getting them to fix, I never knew about that! How much would you estimate this will cost and would I be better off buying a new Mac- if the cost is nearly the same that is? Thank you so much for the info I really appreciate you!!
Your disk is dying not the entire iMac. The disk can be removed & replaced. The Mac should be able to work again. Disks start at about $50 - so you probably don't need to throw it out just yet
The issue is with Seagate drives that Apple installed. Technically not Apple's fault, but as they sold the hardware they are responsible for product recalls etc.
See if an Apple store can help you.

How can I fix a time error on my MacBook?

How can I fix a time error on my MacBook?

If, after checking the settings in Sys Pref> Date/Time nothing really changes
you could see if a reset of the NVRAM could help.
Read carefully & when using the keyboard sequence, let the computer
start tone sound three times, to be sure the reset has really occurred.
•About NVRAM & PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Does the time gain by itself? Is the Time Server set to automatically
keep the computer time corrected when you are online? You may
also try the manual settings, if the computer had not been used in
some time, because if the battery gets too low, the capacitor in a
portable computer can also lose power, & NVRAM - PRAM chip
settings could be lost. However by then, Date can also be wrong.
Was there anything else going on that may have affected this?
Sometimes odd items are related to something else.
Good luck & happy computing!

Hey Debbiered1,
Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take care,

How can I fix this printer error with Samsung SCX-4300 and SCX-4521f on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have two printers installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit):
1. Samsung SCX-4521f
2. Samsung SCX-4300
There are two computers (Windows 7 Professional, 32-Bit) connected to this server that utilise these shared printers.
The drivers installed are as follows:
SCX-4x21_Win7_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7 3.04.96:03 Print Driver 11 Dec, 2009 12.37 MULTI LANGUAGE)
SCX-4300_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit) 3.04.95:07 Print Driver Jan 19, 2011 53.07 MULTI LANGUAGE)
After printing documents for some time (within a 24 period) the printers no longer respond to print requests.
On the server opening "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers" shows the two printers with yellow exclamation marks.
The "SCX-4x21" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting" and "Printer: Error".
The "SCX-4300" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting".
Neither will print a test page.
Searching for new drivers automatically returns saying: "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
The error persists and nothing will print.
When double-clicking on the "SCX-4x21" printer (or going to "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers\Samsung SCX-4x21 Series") you see the following:
"Printer: Error" and "N document(s) in queue".
Clicking on either of these brings up the print queue and shows a document with the status of "Error - Printing".
As each job with an error is cancelled the next one attempts to print and also displays an error like the last.
Once all the jobs are cleared the printer information says "Printer: Ready".
Sending a "Print Test Page" sends the printer into an error state saying "Printer: Error".
With the "SCX-4300", sending a "Print Test Page" displays a bubble saying: "Toner Empty: Replace Toner".
However, I can't see any specific error messages.
How do I find out what exactly "Needs troubleshooting"?
Please can anyone advise further?

The printer (SCX-4300) has stopped again.
Since it has been stopped I have done your recommendations:
Unticked the "Enable bidirectional support" option under the "Ports" tab in the printer properties.
Set the "Interactive Services Detection" to Automatic and started it.
Unfortunately the printer did not start printing, the print jobs did not restart or delete.
I decided to check the Operational logs that we enabled.
The first job I see goes like this:
Information: Rendering job 41.
Error: The print spooler failed to delete the file C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\00041.SHD, error code 0x2. See the event user data for context information.
Information: The print job 41 was sent through the print processor SSE1MPC on printer Samsung SCX-4300 Series, driver Samsung SCX-4300 Series, in the isolation mode 1 (0 - loaded in the spooler, 1 - loaded in shared sandbox, 2 - loaded in isolated
sandbox). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0x0.
Information:Printing job 41.
Information:Spooling job 41.
This job actually printed.
Other jobs printed fine with no error.
There are no other errors in the "Operational" log other than the "print spooler failed to delete" error.
Any ideas what to try now?
Update: Unticking the "Enable bidirectional support", clearing the print queue and then trying again seems to have fixed the problem for now.

How can I fix a program error so I am able to save files?

My version of Photoshop CS6 is suddenly not allowing me to save any files at all. I can't save .psd, .jpg, .gif, etc. When I try to save it it pops up with a program error message. I haven't had this program very long so I would like to get it fixed so I can start using it. Thanks!

Hello! I'm guessing that you either have allowed Photoshop to use an inadequate amount of disk space, which you can change by going to Edit>Preferences or you have run out of space on the disk you have told Photoshop to use. Either free up space, or, if you have a second hard drive, go to Edit>Preferences and it should be under General. I haven't gone through all of these preferences menus yet, so can't promise you'll find everything there, but you should at least get some leads. I know there are more specific options under preferences, but as I said, I haven't gone through those yet, and don't know where to find disk space options.
Hope this helps!

HT201442 how can i fix my iphone error 3194 step by step

i got a problem with 3194 error..Can u tell me how to fix it step by step..Now i can't use my phone..

Make an appointment at any Apple store, as that error is generally a hardware fault error, but can be caused by security software on your computer. Read here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
If not security software, make an appointment at any Apple store.

How can I fix a permissions error on my entire Macintosh HD?

Today when attempting to fix file sharing permissions between users on my LAN, I mistakenly changed the following settings:
In "Sharing" --> "File Sharing" I added the Macintosh HD and changed the permissions to "Read and Write
I then selected "Apply Permissions to Enclosed Items".
Ever since I did this, I am unable to open or use my applications, including Finder.
I have since run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions (which fixed thousands or reported errors) as well as a repair disk (no errors were reported.)
After no success with these methods, I finally reinstalled Mavericks. Unfortunately, I am still unable to access my programs or open files (which are still there, just non-accessible.)
I do not have a current backup of my hard drive. Is there a way to remedy this problem without losing all of my important data? Would it be possible to copy all of my files to an external HD, delete the current HD and then reinstall from scratch?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try installing AppleApplicationSupport again. It may still fail to install but you may get more useful error messages as to why not.
