I am having a problem with Time Machine, the error msg is "Time Machine.app can't be modified or deleted because it is required by MacOsX". It was working and now it is not.
Should have added that I am trying to retrieve back-up images.

More information about how it isn't working and what it is doing would help.

It was working and now it's not
I was listening to music throughout the house all day so iTunes was sending to the Apple TV for the theater speakers. I turned everything off, did some stuff and then decided to listen to some more music while I worked. I turned on everything including the TV this time so I could select music from there. iTunes is on but it no longer can connect to the Apple TV. I get this error message.
An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Apple TV”. An unknown error occurred (-15000).
I double checked the TV input and it is correct. The screen glows slightly and if I press the remote buttons I hear the familirar beeps but nothing else is happening. There have been no power outages or anything else weird happening since I turned it off and back on beyond the passage of an hour or so. What's happening?
I will go disconnect the power and do all the usual stuff but there is no good reason why this happened and all the messages I could find concerning similar unknown error messages have gone unanswered. Does no one know what is happening?Hello ladybastet,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article while researching the issue you are describing named Error -3256 or -15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using iTunes found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2278.
I would recommend the 10.5.1 or later section.
All the best,

iPhoto says it won't import photos from my Fujifilm Finepix S1000 camera because it's the wrong format (jpeg). It always has before... but I upgraded to Lion then went back to Snow Leopard and now it's not working. Suggestions? Thanks!
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there? -
Wifi was working, and now does not discover any networks
I had wifi working, and now it does recognize any of the 6 networks that everything else discovers, any sugestions?
I read all related posts, did the software update to latest version, restarted several times, and did wifi reset. Actually my statmenet above is not entirely true. It does discover the network and connects when I place the device on top of a router, but moving to 50cm away from it and the connection disconnects and there are no networks discovered. I have tried it with 2 different routers, both of them are working well with my blackberry and laptop - and this was also working with the ipad before.Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
If this does not work, then restore the iPad to its factory settings and start again. -
My iPad 2 will not connect to my wifi. It was working and now will not connect.
My iPad 2 will no longer connect to my wifi. It was working and just stopped. My wifi still works on my laptop. I have tried resetting my network connections, rebooting, turning wifi off and then back on. Not sure what else to do.....
So whats the exact issue? Can you see the network? What happens when you try and connect to the network
If you can see the network and can connect to it do you see a little blue circle with an arrow pointing to the right? If you do could you please click that & confirm what IP address you are receiving. -
For about two months my iphone 4s has been having problems with people I call not being able to hear me or understand what I am saying. I can get them to hear my by adjusting the position of the phone on my face, it is a very narrow space and I dont get it just right the receiving party cannot hear me.
I have read similar discussions with no real fix to the problems. I have cleanout every orifice of the phone, turn it off and on, reboot to no improvement.
Any other suggests.Hi Labjock,

- First try resetting your iPod. Than may make the iPod visible in iTunes o you can restore it.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visable. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Lastly see if DFU mode will make it visible.

Safari and Mail not working, and now software update not running!
Hello, can anyone can help?
I was running 10.3.9, no problems, with safari, mail etc, through my standard third party router. Then today safari won't open up, just goes into spinning ball. Mail won't even open. I have re-installed the system from original discs back to 10.3.3, but still no luck. I can't even run software demag from a download of the apple site, whirling ball again.
Do I need to go for full system default re-instal, as I will loose all my mail folders and safari settings?
Pretty stuck at the moment......Sounds like a problem with your internet service provider. Perhaps contact them and see if they are experiencing problems. The other thought is the modem and next is the router.

Just got myself the white Macbook a couple weeks ago. I've been using it constantly. (my 1st Mac, and I'm never getting a PC again!)
Initially, it was always pretty hot. Uncomfortably so. (I had to put it on top of a couple hardcover books when using it on my lap).
It's plugged in nearly all the time except when I go to bed - then I turn it off and unplug the power adapter. I close it when I'm not using it.
Last night the fan just suddenly quieted down, so much so that I can't hear it - and now it's nowhere near as hot. I've got it on my lap right now (without the books) and it's only a little bit warm.
Does this mean anything? Should I be concerned?
Possibly relevant: The weather has dropped at least a couple degrees in the past day and it's noticeably cooler - another summer is on it's way out.
By the way, the specs are:
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB MHz DDR2 SDRAM
250 Gig hard drive
OS X 10.5.4
Any feedback would be appreciated.call apple support and tell them.. its a safty issue because the device get really hot..
