I am trying to load "The Sims" for OS X 10.1 and higher; first time the game would lock up after the preview, now I can't even get the installer to load after sending the original installation to the trash. What could I be doing wrong??

I have "The Sims" suite (The Sims, Livin Large, House Party, Hot Date, and Unleashed). During the original installation, I could not get teh third disk to install (House Party). I definitely installed them in the correct order. Then, I went on to load the last two CDs, but when I install the last CD, to begin play, the game locks my system downafter the preview.
I sent the entire Application to the trash (I'm assuming installing this in the Applications section of teh HD is correct), and tried to re-install. Now, the initial Installer on The Sims primary CD will not respond. I have to force quit to unlock the install.
I have an iMac with the 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4 GB Memory (4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3).
Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if my system does not have enough memory to handle this program? I already have The Sims 2 and 3 with several expansion packs installed - never had a problem operating or installing them. I still have at least 50% of my internal memory available.
Thanks,
Joe

For some reason SpeedGrade updated through the Application manager. I tried downloading the updates from adobe's website but it won't install. Prelude's update fails before it can even get started whereas the extension manager does install but it doesn't seem to be updating.
I've done as much investigation as I can think of and I'd rather not create a new user just to check that out but if I have to I will. How exactly do I create a new user on a mac?

This kind of problem can often be fixed with the microsoft Installer cleanup utility.
Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
Google msicuu2.exe download
mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
Check for malware before installing it.
After installing, To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install
If you get permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
When you run the cleanup utility, look for any instance that you find of iTunes and remove it.
It is possible that you will have to remove other apple programs if removing iTunes doesn't allow you to install iTunes. Post back with any furtyher error messages if there is a problem.

It seems that in some cases the scripts on Apple's site that are intended to query your system to offer the appropriate installer don't work as intended, taking you straight to the "Thank you for downloading" page. Depending on the edition of Windows you are running, there are three variants of the most recent version of iTunes, with direct links to the installers as follows:
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (64-bit) - iTunes6464Setup.exe
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (64-bit "for older video cards") - itunes64setup.exe
The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer - should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version, but also may resolve issues with playback, QuickTime compatibility, and problems with some third-party applications (including Outlook).
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.

What happends when you press the Home button? If nothing, try resetting your iPad by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

HT4208 I tried to update apps, now I can not get any apps to download or update. I've tried recommendations above, any other suggestions? My Kindle was one of the apps I tried to update and now I can't even get into Kindle to read anything. Help

Please help, I updated some apps, I pressed update all, now I can not open or use those apps, they just say waiting. I have deleted some and tried to download again with no success, also tried to download different app with no success.

1. Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
2. Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

I can not get my itunes to recognize my ipod touch, I called support and when i found out there was a charge I politely said no thanks and hung up. now I can't even get the itunes to download!!

I have tried since Chrismas to use my Ipod touch and have not been able to! I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes more often then I care to admit! I called support and when I found out there is a charge ($59.95) I declined and hung up. I now can't even download itunes! I guess I find that a little fishy. I was so happy with this gift and now I am so frustrated I am about to return it and never purchase another apple product again! I have gotten nothing but the run around when trying to get assistance for a very expensive music player! HELP PLEASE

Since loading FF4 (again!) bookmarks gone (can't import file), no history and cannot use back button!Now I can't even get FF 3 back on my iMac.

Using iMac with OS 10.6.7. I made the mistake before of trying the Beta ver and same thing happened. But at least back then I could download the older version and recover my bookmarks. (i was finally able to get the older ver 3.6 back up.) Still, I can't import from HTML file or from back-up. Pls help, all my history is lost and i need those bookmarks to do my work!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Hello there, Ark.
It sounds like the iPhone has Activation Lock still activated. The following Knowledge Base article provides the methods available for removing the previous owner's account:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
