How do I get an "installation alert" off my screen??

When I opened up my laptop today, there is a window box open that says "Installation Alert" and the message says that in order to continue installation, please close the following applications:  IPhoto and ITunes.  However - I don't have them open??  And I can't get rid of the Alert box!!!  Help please...it is driving me nuts!

Have you tried restarting?

    I want to update. there is a installation alert stating "in order to continue installation, please close the following application: itunes"
    i do not have itunes opened. I opended it then closed it. the alert will not go away. there are no icons in the upper left corner to help close this.
    any ideas?

    Hi Kappy,
    Just tried this however the Installer isn't in the list of items I can close?
    Itunes itself is already closed?

  • My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message telling me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message?

    My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.

    I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6.  I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes.  All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
    Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.

  • I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously.  My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes?  Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

    You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

  • When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. WHy is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?

    When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. Why is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?

    She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.

  • I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there.  How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer

    I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there.  How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer so i can put all the music on my new one.
    The guy at att told me that icloud would sync everything i had in my notes, calendar, and text messages to my new phone, but it only synced some of my notes, none of my messages, or calendar info.

    Your music will only be where you put it.  It will not magically appear on a new computer.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    If for some reason you cannot do this, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an iphone:  Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
    You can also redownload itunes purchases from icloud in some countires:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • If your phone is broken how do you get the apple id off that phone?

    if your iphone is broken how do you get the apple id off of it?

    You can either,
    A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com
    or 
    B: IF possible restore the device to factory settings via iTunes.
    What's the xtent of the damage and the reason you need to do it?
    IF it's for iMessage as "Chief501" you will have to go with Option A or just wait till it falls off itself.

  • How do I get my email history off of my POP servers and BACK into Mail?

    I was trying to change the name of a folder in my OS 10.4 Tiger Mail application. It generated an error message, (I do not know the exact message) it said that I could not change the name of that folder. After the error message left the screen, ALL of the email in that folder disappeared. Including all of the email in the 24 sub-folders that I had created... Poof... Gone... My entire business email history for the past month.
    I was able to access my account info (through the Account Info panel) for all 4 of my POP accounts located on different POP servers. Thankfully, my email history has NOT been deleted off of those servers. So my question is:
    How do I get my email history off of my POP servers and BACK into Mail?
    I DO NOT want to delete ANY email from the servers, I just want to get my history back into Tiger Mail... Someone help me please...

    I spoke with Mac Tech Support. To get my messages from my server back into Mail, I was told to mark my email (on my webmail server) as unread. Mail will then know to pull these specific messages into my account.
    However, this is one of a handful of problems that I have been having with the Mail application. Just today I tried to create a new message by hitting NEW and the program crashed. This plus having all of my messages disappear and then having to reimport them isn't worth the effort. I've decided to stop using Mail completely.
    I was just told about Mozilla's Thunderbird email application. It's free and looks better than Mail. Do yourself a favor and go check out Thunderbird at:
