HT1338 since loading 10.8.4 my keyboard types in random positions , ie halfway through what is already written it will commence typing! also have to reboot every morning to get on email etc

Anyone else have the same problems? or can help me

That is not a practically empty xinitrc - that file only needs one line: exec WM. Other things are entirely optional, and some of them very useful, but I'd encourage you to stick with the simplest xinitrc that will do what you require.
Is slim involved? Probably. That is the source of many problems. But to start narrowing this down, I have 3 suggestions:
1) temporarily (at least) change your inittab to default to runlevel 3 ... actually, is it currently set to 5 or 3? if it is currently 3 that would explain why slim doesn't start.
2) at a tty in runlevel 3 use "xinit" instead of "startx". Startx is fine most of the time, but it is essentially just a complex wrapper for xinit. That complexity can often iadd useful functionality, but it *always* makes troubleshooting more difficult. So for now just use a vanilla 'xinit'.
3) remove dbus-launch from your exec line in xinitrc. This is done by console-kit so it is redundant and potentially problematic. Further BOTH of these are taken care of by slim, so I'd even suggest getting both a jump start on being ready for slim and simplifying troubleshooting by removing both of them. Just make that line "exec openbox-session"
Edit: adding one more:
4) temporarily switch out openbox-session for openbox. I suspect the reason feh's setting of the background is getting overridden is due to a script or setting in openbox's autostart settings - many of these are only invoked when "openbox-session" is called, while "openbox" starts *just* the window manager itself.

My notifications under settings just shows loading circle. Also it wont notify me when i get text, emails, etc

Updated from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 and now my phone wont ring when i get new messages, or any notifications besides calls. When i do get notifications they are hours later.

Try deleting your hotmail account and then adding it back as an Outlook account instead of "other". It worked for me.

I have a 9-month-old MacBook Pro (10.7.3). I also have, among others, every version of iTunes since 10.4. Can I safely delete the outdated versions in System Preferences?

Why will 1 of my 2 email accounts on my iphone4 not push? Sometimes I have to restart the phone to get the emails to update.

I have 2 email accounts. One account pushes correctly, the other does not. For the second account sometimes I have to restart the phone to get the emails. Both accounts are set to push.

Go into the email setting and click on advance and make sure it is on fetch not manual, let me know if this works.
Click on setting
Click mail,contacts, caendars
Click fetch new data
Scroll to advnace
Set to fetch

HT1645 whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing. I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

Welcome to the forums.
Looks like that error message does refer to encoding (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645) but a problem could be that your video has to be reloaded into iDVD if you started the encoding process and then switched settings. You could start a new iDVD project, or try deleting encoded assets.
Let's start from the beginning -- what length of video are you trying to fit on the DVD? (this will indicate what encoding options you have). Double layer DVDs can be finicky and are used for video more than 2 hrs long.
Use good quality media -- Verbatim is often recommended around here, and I've used Sony DVD-R with good results.

I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone. See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

I just downloaded IOS 5 on to my IPHONE 4. When i text people that also have Iphones for Imessage my name is my email. anyone know how to change it?

You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
"When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

We just bought our boys iPad minis. We have a "family ipad" now with lots of music and apps the boys love. Will syncing them to icloud cause a nightmare with calendars, music, and emails etc being shared?

We just bought our children 2 ipad minis. We have a "family ipad" now that contains lots of their apps, music, books etc. I am afraid to connect the minis to icloud for fear they will also sync our calendars, email, etc. Does anyone have experience with a family using icloud and do you recommend starting over with everyone having their own account or merging the family?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

Since updating to iOS 8 my keyboard is blocking the area of text that I am writing on and will not allow me to scroll up. I am not using the split keyboard function. How do I fix this as it is quite annoying

I Have recently updated to iOS8 and now my keyboard blocks the area of text that I am typing in an won't allow me to scroll the screen up to see what I am typing. I am not using the split keyboard function

Hello there Smart43,
It sounds like you are not able to correctly see the message you are typing because the keyboard is in the way. I can understand how that would be pretty frustrating. I would start by quitting the running apps on your device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Is there an app that will check for mail or notify me instantly when I get new email?

Every 15 minutes is just not quick enough.
I checked the app store & couldn't find an app that would check for mail every minute. Am I missing it?
I know about the potential for battery drain.
Thanks in advance.
Jim

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

My gmail and corporate email passwords are not saved, I have to retype every time to get mail

I recently restored my iphone 4 and updated with newest software. Now for some reason when I try to get email it says I have to enter my password. This is very annoying because it will not save it. I have to retype it everytime I look in my mailbox. This is the same for both gmail account and a corporate email account. Any suggestions? I go to settings to put it in and it does not save....

You could try deleting the accounts on your phone (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>tap the account>tap Delete Account at the bottom) and then adding them to see if that clears it up.

Wifi says connected but can't connect to internet, email etc

my ipad wifi says it's connected but can't get internet, email etc.

Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect to the WiFi.
