I am no longer able to download new messages, and Thunderbird indicates that it is not responding.
I am receiving some emails on my iPad, but not all of them.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

When composing a new message with Thunderbird, the program freezes & says "not responding"
Recently, I needed to reset my 'Main work Computer' to factory default. Before I wiped everything I saved all the messages addresses etc via Mozback, I then transferred all the info to the laptop to see if it works, which it does.
After this I re-installed Thunderbird to my recently reset computer, I used Mozback up to restore all the information as set like it was previously.
It was working great for about a day then only recently I came across this problem:
Thunderbird still receives mail & I can read it, however when I try 'compose new message', 'reply' or 'forward' a message the new box will open up ready to type into except it freezes & it says not responding.
I have it on my laptop & its working fine for now but I'm wanting it to work on the Main Computer!!
What should I do??I've figured it out!!! Because I had only just reset the computer to factory default, I decided to reset it again & follow my steps to see what may of happened.
I installed all programs including Thunderbird & it was all working fine...
Until I decided to load a whole heap of fonts into the System. This is where something went wrong with Thunderbird & would freeze when composing a message. So I deleted the fonts I had just installed & it worked again... Now I only load fonts one at a time when I need to. (I am a sign designer, we need fonts!!) -
I tried to download Adobe Reader and it said that I did not have sufficient privledge
Hi- I just tried to download Adobe rEader and it said that the download was unsuccessful as I did nto have sufficient priviledge.
Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
You must either login to an Adminstrator account to run the installer, or right-click on the downloaded installer and select 'Run as Administrator'. -
When I try to sync my new phone to my iTunes, it says that I do not have enough access priviledges for this operation. I can't figure out WHY?
Hello KYaple,
It sounds like there are permissions issues with iTunes. When you sync it may be trying to copy purchased items from your iPhone to your iTunes. Check out the article below to try and resolve it.
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

Thunderbird is no longer downloading new emails and indicates that it is not responding.
My old emails display as do the contents of other folders.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

GMail IMAP account won't download new messages - still can send
Really bizzare bug...I use Mail with two accounts setup, both of which are GMail Imap accounts. Since yesterday I have not been able to download new messages for my inbox whenever Mail has been opened already.
When I first open Mail, it seems to sync correctly and get new messages, but after it's been open if anyone sends me a new message, Mail fails to download the message. Manually clicking "Get New Mail" or using the "Get All New Mail" from menu doesn't seem to help.
Rebuilding my Inbox does help in that it syncs my inbox back up, but after that it doesn't download messages like it's supposed to every minute (preference setting).
Can't think of anything majorly different that I've done in the last day, although I did install RC1 of "Things"....
I'm on OS X version 10.5.6Has anyone actually done this and had it work? I'm a little anxious to try it given the "Jeez. Good catch..."
If this fix works, why does it work?
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.4 and Mail 3.3 on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM.
I'm not sure that there is a connection, but Mail stopped downloading email from all my various email accounts shortly after I added a new IMAP account. I've now got 3 active IMAP accounts (one is Gmail), an inactive HTTPMail acct (hotmail) and an inactive POP acct.
I have tried taking all accts offline and bringing all back online at once and each individually. I have quit Mail and re-launched it. I have tried rebuilding each acct's inbox. I have tired re-launching after deactivating all accts but one. None of this has worked. If I click on "Get Mail", the pinwheels spin next to each acct inbox for a second, but no new mail appears.
What is really strange that one or two emails might download from any given account on any given day, but that's it. The one or two new emails that might appear from time to time appear to do so over night - I get up in the morning to check my email and discover at most one or two new emails, even though when I check the accts by webmail there are dozens of new emails between the three accts.
God, I HATE webmail!
When relaunching or taking the Gmail acct online I sometimes get an error message that it's certificate is invalid. I find this hard to believe as Google is no penny-anty operation, but I clikc "connect" and still no new email.

I am no longer able to download FREE apps. It pops up saying I need to verify my banking information. When I go to my banking information, it tells me it's wrong, and I know it's not. HELP!!! I can't download ANY apps - FREE or otherwise! What is going on???
Is it possible the expiration date for your credit card recently changed, or you got a new card with an updated authorization code? If nothing has changed recently in Settings > iTunes & App Stores, click on your Apple ID, go to billing information and delete the card, re-enter it, save and try again to download apps.

I have a PC desktop and an iPad. I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad. I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device. I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud). Is that possible. I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.
You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

After I downloaded and install the latest iTunes software upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free upgrades to the apps on my iPhone or iPad.
The App Store just says I "don't own the major versions", which of course is nonsense. It seems as if Apple's iTunes/App Store has deleted my download history. Any suggestions?
Regards,
BruceActually It doesn't. It says he's on a MacBook. I don't know all the different types of Macs. I was having a ton of problems with iChat. I opened DMZ to my computer, knocked down all firewalls etc and left everything exposed, still with bad results. A few weeks ago my power supply went out on my D-Link. I bought a linksys. Since I'd left all firewalls off I figured it couldn't be the router. I power cycled everything n the netork, still no luck. Today I bought a universal Power supply and started up my D-Link Router. Everything worked perfectly. My wifes computer - a laptop running Tiger worked fine with the Linksys and did my machine before the Leopard upgrade. Now that I've got the D-Link online everythings working.

I was told I could still keep my email account even if my system wasn't up to a wholescale iCloud upgrade but I am no longer able to download my emails to my account. I can still get them on my iPod but not on my laptop. How do I make the transition?
How much mail are we talking about here? Roughly how many messages, and roughly how many gigabytes of mail?
Who is the mail provider? Is this a local provider on a local network, or one of the "free" providers, or something from your ISP?
Do you have free disk space on your OS X system here, or is it possible that your disk is getting full?
As for the usual diagnostics for problems with Mail.app, launch Mail.app and select the Connection Doctor from the Window menu, let it run, select More Details, and re-run the tests. Expunge any personally-identifying information and post the results here, if they don't make the trigger clear.
You can also try a mailbox repair pass; there's a Rebuild option in the Mail.app menus.
If the downloads are failing, then the usual trigger is the IMAP or POP password setup; there are two entirely seperate connections and two separate credentials and such; the send path (SMTP) and the receive (IMAP or POP) path. Usual triggers for problems are changes to the mail servers involved, or the mail ports, or the credentials needed; I've seen vendors change each of those, and forget to mention it to their users.
That OS X version is extremely old. (I don't have anything nearly that old to check the details fo the setup of that version; 10.6.8 is the oldest OS X version I have handy.) -
i am try to use my itunes which i have not used in a while trying to do all the upgrades. i have an older macbook but i cant download anything. so is apple saying that i will not be able to connect my iphone to macbook ever unless i get a new laptop?
Your MacBook is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8, which is the minimum required to install the current version of iTunes and sync devices running iOS 7. It doesn't need to be compatible with Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks.

HT4539 not able to download new version of whatsapp on iphone3gs ?
not able to download new version of whatsapp on iphone3gs ?
You need to update your iPhone's iOS version first, the current version of that app requires iOS 4.3+
Connect the iPhone to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the phone to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the phone as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPhone by right-clicking the Iphone 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPhone on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Your phone should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google have app versions in the store. -
Mac App Store is able to download new apps but not update old ones
Well title says it all. I am able to download new apps (just bought GTA: Vice City to try) but when I hit update it says
I updated my laptop to mountain lion this morning and everything works except softweare updates. I can not use iPhoto because it needs an update but as you can see I am not able to
This is very irritating, anyone have any idea?

Deleting app store cache
Deleting app store cookie

Put the app in the Trash and try to download it again. It should give you the up-to-date version. If it works, then you can empty the Trash. -
Please help me reset my password to "set-up." I have already reset my Apple password, but am still not able to download new software.
Are you the administrator on the macbook and are you the only account? In system preferences-system accounts,. You have all the users for the macbook. At the top you have password and login. you should be in password. On the left is the accounts. You should click on the one that is the administrator account. On the right is a bar that says change password. You click on that. It will go to another screen wear you enter your old pasword and then you new password. Then verify, then add hint if you want . Then click change. Do you see a little box with a key in it beside the enter new passward, that is for keychain. Your admin. password and keychain passwords have to match. That lets you download and open accounts, do updates ect. Doing this way sets admin and keychain pasword. If you keychain password is different than you admin password, that will stop you from downloading new software. Go to apple -support and beside support in search type in KB/h1631 then hit return. That explains keychain an how to change it if you have to.

Can't download new apps and lots of force closes since iOS7. Help!
Since the iOS7 mandatory update I have not been able to download new apps via my iPad mini or by connecting the device to my computer. Apps on my mini also force close frequently, specifically Gmail, Candy Crush, and Facebook. Any advice?
I have long since fixed the problem by resetting my iPad, but I wanted you to know that my question was not vague. I could not download anything directly to my iPad or by syncing it to my computer. No detail required; it just didn't work. This surprised me since everyone raves about how great Apple products are. Might as well have bought a Surface.
Also, force closes continue to be a problem for me. Resetting seems to be the only solution for this, too. I just hold he Home button and the Capture button until the apple appears then it boots up again.
