HT5012 I have a question about my apple laptop  how come it won't download google chrome to my laptop because I just got recently got it fix

I'm having trouble with my laptop like for the update & download Google Chrome

If you have had this problem while booted ino recovery mode, it's not a Spotlight issue. If your hard drive is failing, that could cause the problems you describe. Do you have good backups? If not, your first order of business needs to be backing up all data that you don't want to lose. Once you have done that, you can start troubleshooting.
Regarding troubleshooting, you can check the SMART status of your hard drive in Disk Utility, but it's important to note that failing hard drives can easily have "verified" SMART status.
It would also be worth repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility. If the hard drive is actually failing, though, repairing won't do squat... the drive will have to be replaced.
Your problems involving Spotlight could also have been caused by a corrupt Spotlight index. Since you added the entire hard drive to the Privacy pane, removing it will cause Spotlight to completely rebuild the index, which would solve that problem... if that were the problem.
Also, you mention that your machine is "clean, virus-free, spyware-free," which suggests that you may have been using cleaning utilities and anti-virus software. Regarding the former, that's a bad idea - see The myth of the dirty Mac. As for anti-virus software, what software are you using? Some anti-virus software is good, while others can bring your Mac to its knees.

  • I have a question about my Apple ID which is my email

    The email on which my Apple ID is associated with has been hacked
    therefore i have made a new email address which i have changed all my online
    accounts to. However im afraid to do so with Itunes im worried that i will
    loose the apps and movies and song etc that i have purchased or if they will send an
    email confirmation to the hacked email account.
    can someone please help me as to what i should do and how i should do it?
    Thank you

    Hi Aysha84,
    As long as this email that is your Apple ID does not end in mac.com, me.com or icloud.com you can change it as well as associate it with a different email address. That way you will retain control of all content from the Apple ID. See this article for how to change the Apple ID -
    Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    Be sure to follow through with the steps in this article after you have changed the Apple ID -

    You may be worried about the security of your Apple ID. If so you may want to use two-step verification to increase security -

  • I have a question about my Apple ID security questions that I don't remember?

    Alright, so I don't know my security question answers. However i can buy things from the app store/whatever, i just want to know them. Because when I go to "Manage my apple ID" and i log in and go to the Password and Security section of it, thats where it asks me for my answers to the security questions. So, for future reference if i need go change something on my apple ID in terms of Password/Security I need to know my security questions answers. Thats why i want to know them, even though it isn't a problem right now.
    So with that said, I know i have to call apple support to reset my security questions because i do not have a rescue email with the security questions, and the link of course doesn't show up under where its supposed to be.
    So my point is, i was wondering if when i call apple support to ask about this (i already set it up for me to call them when I'm ready) if I'm gonna get charged money for calling them just so they can reset my security questions? Or is this free to do? Since its just security questions issue again? If i have to pay to talk to them i won't do it. I only want to know them again cause last time i reset them my dad called, i think, anyways i don't remember them and i doubt my dad will remember the answers. We might have wrote it down but i don't know where that paper is now. Thank you.

  • I Have a Question About My Apple iPod Touch 64GB 5th Generation

    ok I Do have a 5th Generation Apple iPod Touch 64GB & I Need Help or just needed to ask a Question ok, when I Turn on My Apple iPod Touch 64GB or when I Turn on The iBlason iPod Touch Battery Charger I Have on it to Turn on The Apple iPod Touch 64GB Well when I 1st Turn it on it's Taking 1 or 2 Secounds Longer to Turn on & I Wanted to know if that Normal??? or is it mean that My Apple iPod Touch 64GB is going to Die??? that was a Question i needed to ask
    also a Few Day's ago when I Wanted to Turn on My Apple iPod Touch 64GB it did not even want to Turn on or do anything & I Never Shut it Down or Turned it off???
    I Was reading on the internet about this problem & it said that I Had to Restart My Apple iPod Touch 64GB & I Did & Everything went back on again so just needed to get info about this problem if anyone knows about this???

    Things like that happen and is normal.
    If you can't turn it on:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I Have 1 Question About The Apple Discussion Message Boards?

    I Think Apple.com & Apple Discussion Message Boards needs to come up with an Apple App for Apple iPhone & Apple iPod Touch 1 reason is cause I Try to go on The Apple Discussion Message Boards on My Safari on My Apple iPhone 4 32GB from Verizon Wireless & The Internet is very Slow on there so maybe if Apple.com & The Apple Discussion Message Boards had an App Specialty for The Apple Discussion Message Boards for Apple iPhone 4 & Apple iPod Touch maybe then The Apple Discussion Message Boards will Run more Faster cause My Apps for My Apple iPhone 4 32GB From Verizon Wireless are always faster then The Internet on My Apple iPhone 4 in Safari, I Hardly use My Safari in My Apple iPhone 4 cause it's always slow, Sometimes it's Fast but sometimes more it's Slow, so maybe I Thought we should make an Apple Discussion Message Boards iPhone App for Apple iPhone & Apple iPod Touch? it was just an Idea it was more a Suggestion to come up with an iDea of it & I Did not mean to post this in the wrong forum if I Did? Maybe My iDea's & Suggestions may not be great? but at least I Tried, you don't have to come up with any Apple Discussion Message Boards Apps if you don't want to? it's really up to you or whoever creates this part of the Forum? i'm only trying to give you some help or Suggestion or an iDea whatever you call it & i'm sorry for posting this when i know it will get deleted maybe? or maybe in The Apple Discussion Message Boards we can have a Apple Suggestion Forum for Future iDea's or whatever it may be that you want to call it? maybe some people would like to post there Thoughts & Suggestions & Future idea's to Apple on here of what they would like & want to see as long as there is no Bashing & trashing & arguing with each other & i'm sorry if I Got carried a way to much if I Did? just thought I Would have a Suggestion/Idea on an Apple Discussion Boards App for Apple iPhone & iPod Touch maybe someday on The Apple iTunes in The App Store? but if you don't think my Suggestions are so great? its ok i'm Sorry I Bothered anyone on this Forum about this, ok peace & take care from Byron.

  • I have a question about a particular laptop

    do any of you know if bestbuy will get anymmore of the 350 dollar HP laptops in stock It says they are currently all sold out online. and I really want one for xmas.

    All of the products on the Best Buy website are first come, first serve. It would be nice if Best Buy had an email notification when a certain product comes back in stock, but inventory in their warehouse changes all the time. The next biggest sale that they have would probably be the day before XMAS. And then the day after.
    Another good idea is to sign up for BestBuy.com's email newsletters and sign up for the rewards zone newsletters as well, sometimes you might get a laptop at a price thats only meant for RZ Members!

    Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
    I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
    I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!
    Heather

    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
    That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
    Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
    It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
    Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
    Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
    Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
    Creative Suite 6
    Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
    Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

    No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.
