I cannot sign into yahoo, but I can get to other sites by using tabs on toolbar, but then I cannot sign out?

'''bold text'''I cannot sifn into yahoo, but I can get to other sites by using tabs on toolbar, but then I cannot sign out. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but I still have the same problem.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I use to be able to sign in to itunes store just fine but now I cannot get to the itunes store homepage?

I use to be able to sign in to itunes store just fine but now I cannot get to the itunes store homepage?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Can't connect to volume of shared iMac but used to be able to

I'm really hoping someone can help me with this as I've been struggling with it since my upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. I run OS X 10.5.2 (all updated,etc.) on two machines - an Intel Macbook and iMac, with an airport extreme base station (updated) as the router. Both are using the same account names, but have different computer names (B's Macbook, B's iMac, etc.). So, attached to the iMac is an external hard drive connected via FW800, split into two volumes (Time Machine, Video Library). When I first tried to share these after the upgrade to 10.5.0 I had various permission errors with that "Unknown" user account. That seems to have been all cleared up, and in fact the two aforementioned volumes (Time Machine, Video Library) are now completely new and on a new FW drive. Problem is, I can't connect to the "Video Library" from the Macbook, even though sharing is allowed and I can connect to the the "Time Machine" volume fine. It shows up in the finder sidebar, under the Macbook, but when I try to connect I get this..
the operation cannot be completed because the original item for "Video Library" cannot be found
When I view the iMac via the Samba share listed in the finder (since Windows Sharing is turned on via the iMac - and I tried turning this off, doesn't change anything) I see 8 volumes labeled video library, video library-1, video library-2, etc. all the way through video library-7. Now, I click on these and get the same error. But I am 99% sure that Leopard is confused and can't find the correct link to the Video Library because all of these dead links are still floating around somewhere, but I don't know how to clear it out and reset. In fact, I used to have the same problem sharing the Time Machine volume, but during one replacement of the hard drive, I changed the volume name from "Time Machine Drive" to just "Time Machine" and it of course started working fine, I can access the drive without problems, etc.
So, after all of that explaining, it really comes down to the fact that something seems to be stuck in Leopard thinking that the link to the "Video Library" volume is broken or invalid, Smaba sees it as 8 volumes (btw all other shared volumes have only one entry in the Samba view), and everything is confused. The working solution would be to rename the Video Library volume, and connect. Problem is I have over 1,000 movies/tv shows/etc. in iTunes on that drive and if I change the volume name all those links will get screwed up. Any other ideas? I've spotlight searched for video library-# to look for a preference file somewhere that is trying to remember the link, but to no effect. I am sure it has to do with the growing pains associated with the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard and the user IDs, etc. Repair permissions won't work since it's an external drive. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much in advance.

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

Its not telling you to update your iPad, its telling you you need to download a recent version itunes on your computer.

HT204053 Why is my iPad not letting me sign in to update all my apps.It is saying "cannot sign in"?

Why is my iPad saying "cannot sign in" when trying to update all apps?

Try This...

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

HT204053 When signing on to iCloud I get an error message saying "cannot sign in due to server error"

Why can't I sign into iCloud from my pc? I get en error message saying there is a server error.

Start with the basics. Force close mail and reset your iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset 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.
If that doesn't help, you might want to consider resetting your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds. That can help at times even if all of your other devices are connecting to the Internet. I suggest this, because the message that you are getting may be due to a bad connection to the Internet.

Can't add a new event to iCal on my iMac - but the event sync's to my iPad - is this a Lion problem? iCloud is on.

Can't add a NEW EVENT to my iCal on my iMac- however the event is sync'd to my iPad with no problem. iCloud is turned on for iCal. Is this a Lion problem or something turned pff. I cannot find an answer. Help?
Williamfronsc

William,
It is a possibility that you are adding new events to your "On My Mac" calendars.
"On My Mac" calendars will not sync with iCloud. After backing up the "On My Mac" calendars, and ensuring that all events are duplicated on your iCloud calendars you can delete any "On My Mac" calendars.

Can I have cable modem connected to iMac but shared with Airport Express?

I have my internet access to my iMac through a cable modem wired to the Mac. I use the Airport Express to play music from the Mac wirelessly to my stereo. Can I then share the internet access I have on the iMac through the AX without actually connecting the modem to the AX? The wiring is easier to get to the Mac than it would be to get wiring from the cable modem to the Airport Express at the stereo. I want to be able to access the internet wirelessly from a PC laptop that I also have.
Thanks

Yes, you can do that. Using the AirPort Utility, you would set the AirPort Express up to create a wireless network giving it whatever name you want. When it gives you an error message that nothing is connected over ethernet, you can click the button to ignore that message and it will perform as you are requesting.
Note that if your internet connection stops working when you do this, then you may need to change your network port priority so ethernet is higher than AirPort.

I have a valid apple I'd which I use to sign in to the apple community regularly, but when I try signing into iMessage, it shows: username and password was incorrect try again. Why?

I have a valid apple I'd which I use to sign in to the apple community without any problem, but each time I try to sign in to iMessage, it shows me that Username and Password is incorrect please try again. Why is it so?

I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

Can't see Windows PC on new iMac but Windows PC can see iMac

My brand new iMac is up and running except I can not see my Dell Laptop running Windows. The strange thing is that my Dell Laptop can see the iMac just fine and I can access shared folders without any problems. My call to Apple support didn't leave me with a resolution so I figured the forums could provide better help. I can ping my laptop but nothing shows up in my network or in "shared". The closest we came was to go to a browser window and type in smb://(computer name of laptop). This provided only a temporary solution because it un-mounts after restarts, etc and then I have to do it all over again.

Well, I have narrowed the issue down to Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Leopard install works just fine. I tried a different router going to a D-Link 655 from a Linksys and the result is the same. The Mac can not see my Windows computers under the network but my Windows PCs can see and access the Mac just fine. I can ping my Windows machines and I can create a temporary mount using the smb command but that is a band-aid to the problem. The odd issue is that I can see them temporarily if I delete my network connection and then re-establish it. I guess the Google searches are correct...Snow Leopard did break SMB support. Apple...can you please fix this. The world does not just run on Mac.

I am setting up a new iMac but am unable to sign into Apple.

Error message is "a server error"
So I chose do not sign in and was able to continue with the setup.
Please explain.
Thanks

Can't print now with Leopard w/iMac but can with MacBook&PowerBook

This is my 3rd upgrade (iMac) to Leopard. First two were on MacBook & PowerBook and printing on Epson C88 via AEBS works both remote and via USB.. Now iMac does not print to C88 attached to AEBS nor to Epson CX4200 attached by USB to iMac. Tried downloading new drivers from Epson. Even down loaded Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta2 forEpson Inkjet Printers. But not successful in getting printing from iMac. For C88 keep getting "Printer is currently off-line" and no printing. For CX4200 sometimes get printing and sometimes get blank page. Tried to delete printers in Preferences-Print&Fax. After hi lighting each printer got drop down asking if I wanted to delete printer but when OK clicked on printer does not get delete but stays listed in Printers panel. Any suggestions of how to solve this problem. would be welcome.

No problem!
I would recommend repairing the disk permissions on your computer by following this Apple document here. Once this is complete, make sure your Apple updates are complete by following this Apple document here.
Now, I would reset the printing system on your computer. Please follow this Apple document here. If your USB connection isn't responding correctly, then follow this Apple document on USB: Troubleshooting Error Messages. I will be looking forward to hearing from you again!
