HT5858 Why has my I-Pad started dinging periodically?

This morning my I-Pad 4th generation started dinging periodically. I have no messages yet it continues to ding like about 2 or 3 times an hour. I did not change any settings. Bought it brand new from Apple 3 months ago, and this just started happening today. Any replies back how to stop this annoyance will be greatly appreciated. I only want it to ding when I get a message. Thanks.

I have same issue and have done what was suggested BUT most of my notifications that say sounds do not even show me what sound is associated with the notification. I cannot track down the soft little "ding" - it's NOT the DING sound listed under sounds. Can never find what it's alerting me to.

Why has my Fireworks CS5 started freezing up on start-up?

I'm using Mac OSX 10.7.5, and the most recent update to CS5 (just downloaded that update again today and installed). Back in August, I was editing some photo files in Fireworks. I had a lot of files open (like, maybe 40 or 50) and didn't think to close the files before shutting down my computer. Ever since, when I try to open Fireworks, this is what happens:
The application starts to open like normal. It begins opening the picture files I was last working on in August. After a couple minutes, it seems to be finished but when I move the cursor over the window, I get the spinning wheel... and after ten, twenty, thirty minutes, the wheel is still spinning. I can't do anything at all except use the "Force quit" menu to get out of it.
I found a suggestion about deleting Macromedia Library files, but I don't have any files in the Library that are Macromedia. Another suggestion had to do with changing a couple file names by putting "Old" in front of "Fireworks" in the file name in the Library and Application support. I did that, but it didn't help.
Any suggestions? I can't afford to just buy the latest Creative Suite.

Did you follow these steps, and removed BOTH the preferences and library folders?
Quit Fireworks.
In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Rename the Fireworks application support folder:
Fireworks CS5.1: Rename the Fireworks CS5.1 folder to Old Fireworks CS5.1, for example.
Fireworks CS5: Rename the Fireworks CS5 folder to Old Fireworks CS5, for example.
Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
Rename the Fireworks preferences folder:
Fireworks CS5.1: Rename the Adobe Fireworks CS5.1 folder to Old Adobe Fireworks CS5.1, for example.
Fireworks CS5: Rename the Adobe Fireworks CS5 folder to Old Adobe Fireworks CS5, for example.
PS Since CS is very expensive, why not switch to Pixelmator, Acorn, or Photoline for your editing? Fireworks is no longer developed anyway (since May 2013). Especially Photoline is incredibly powerful for image editing (comparable to Photoshop).

Why has my touch pad stoped working

my ipod touch was droped and the touch pad stoped working. can it be repaired?

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why has my Adobe PCD cache.db file size started growing suddenly

I am running CS4 Design Premium on an iMac which had OS X 10.6.2 until the 29th and now has 10.6.3.
On 19th March my Adobe PCD cache.db file size was just over 100Mb. Since then it has grown steadily until it is now over 19Gb in size.
Can anyone explain to me why it should suddenly have started growing please? During this time I have really only run Acrobat Pro; however I have had a lot of browser (Safari and FF) hangs/crashes due to Flash plugin issues.
I understand the cache.db also holds licence information so is it safe to delete this file? If so will I need to reenter my license information?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Phill

I have the same problem.
My pcd.db file is now 56 GB
What is going on !?!?!?

My mac has started sending yahoo emails out as if they were being sent from an old gmail account I haven't used in years. Why has this just started happening?

My mac has started sending yahoo emails out as if they were being sent from an old gmail account I haven't used in years. Why has this just started happening?

It is important to understand that Mail uses TWO servers, a Receiving Server and a Sending Server.
When you create a new mail message, or reply to a message, the Sender server is shown in the message composition window like this:
That drop-down window allows you to select which of the Sending Servers you previously set up should be used.
In general, once you choose a Sending server, its choice will "stick" for all future replies to messages from that Receiving mailbox.

Why has my mail started storing under Load More Messages. I'm now unable to access my mail messages.

Why has my mail started storing under Load More Messages. I'm now unable to access my mail messages.

This is my basic, first start, recommended "fix" when these types of weird, unexplained things occur on the iPad. Give it a try. After you reboot, go back to the mail app and see if the messages will load.
Quit the mail app completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why has my new ipad stopped saving photos from Facebook? Problem could have started when I downloaded the new OS.

Why has my new IPad stopped saving pictures from Facebook. Worked originally and problem may have started when I downloaded OS 6.

You are correct that the behavior started when you installed iOS 6 - but as Chetan6518 explained - you now have to configure it in the settings.
Along with the suggestion above, there is also a Photos setting in Privacy and that gives access to approved apps for photos as well.
Last of all, make sure that you haven't set a photos restriction in Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying i hav'nt got a valid certificate, and safari can't open it, why has this started happening?

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying Safari can't open it Because the certificate is not valid, why has this just started happening, and how do I correct it?

Either someone has installed a client side cert into Safari or the site in question has let their SSL cert expire. (not your fault). You could try using Firefox or Chrome instead.

Why has my iMac started to be slow logging on

Why has my iMac started to be slow when first logging on, is it anything to do with me upgrading to Mavericks from 10.7, and is there any way it can be rectified?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?

Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?
I can receive mail from my ISP using Apple Mail but as of this morning I can't send via my ISP.
When I check Mail preferences, they say that my ISP's outgoing mail server is "offline".
I haven't changed any settings, so what's gone wrong? I need a fix. At the moment I'm having to use Gmail.

If your email is hosted by Google then there are several known issues with Apple Mail under Mavericks accessing Gmail. Using a web browser is a good backup. In Apple Mail you can goto the menubar, choose Mailbox and choose take all accounts offline. Then bring them back online. Worst case you may need to delete and readd the account (usually if something was setup wrong) Menu bar - Mail > Accounts.
If you have turned on 2 step Google Authentication then you'll need to issue a specific email password for Apple Mail to use to bypass authentication. Google the steps.
Best of luck in getting your mail server online. Hopefully you can specify multiple servers in settings.
