I can't get anything to save to my desktop
Whenever I'm in any application and try to save, I never have the option of saving it to my desktop. This is all of a sudden, I'm not sure why. Plus, when I try to drag something to the trash, I am asked to enter in my password.
Open up your home space folder (the easiest way is to click on the desktop and hit Apple - N). Then highlight the Desktop folder and go to Get Info in the File menu. Make sure you are the owner and you have read&write permission to it. If you don't, change the permissions so you do. HTH.

I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier, and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to." I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

I cannot activatea second hand iphone 4s as i don't have previous owners itunes ID. I can't get anything on the phone after setting the language as its asking for activation. Please can anyone help ???? Ideally i would like to get it back to factory settings and start afresh but right now i would settle for anything. Should say i only have the phone and charger, no box so no details
Unfortunately, the only one who can help is the previous owner. Otherwise you will not be able to activate and use the phone. Apple can't/won't help you with this either.

An iOS fluke or mail app glitch maybe. Not sure anyone will know why you get it. Do you're ever close the mail app? Try closing it and reset the iPad and see if the message goes away.
Assuming that you are running iOS 7, in order to close apps, you 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 Mail app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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. -
Updated to 3.6.15 and now I can't get anything java to run
Ever since I updated to v. 3.6.15 (from 3.6.13, never ud'd to .14) I can't get anything that uses java to load. I just get a white screen and nothing else. This seems to be exactly what happened to people when they ud'd to .14, and the fix is suppose to be .15, but that's what hosed my java!
I have uninstalled and gone back to .13, and I've reinstalled java. I even updated again to .15 and nothing is fixing it.
When I uninstalled I left all my fav's and info in my folder.
My OS is XP home. And I can get java to work via IE.
Please help! I wan't my Firefox back!I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.

Can't get anything at all to open in CS6
I can't get anything at all to open in CS6 (on a Mac OS X 10) and can't create `new. Yesterday it was working perfectly.
Is there any error message??
You can download the updates for ID cs6 from HERE
It can be a simple problem of corrupt preferences which you can eliminate by launching the application while keeping the Shift+Control+Option+Command keys. You will see a dialog box on launch stating do you want to reset the preferences, just go ahead and press yes and then see if you are facing the same problem.

Had to replace our Airport Extreme (802.11n) and now can't get anything but flashing amber light. Have gone the route of turning off modem (overnight), restarting everything this morning and at least when I turned on the laptop (no desktop) the Airport Utility opened automatically. I put in the info for the Airport Extreme that we had previously (password, etc) but it couldn't connect (said error occurred). I would assume this is because of the flashing amber light?
I am having a similar issue. However I've had my airport express for over 3 years. Yesterday we had to reset the router as it wasn't broadcasting.
Today having same issue so we reset the router again. And now still blinking amber. When I go to the Airport Utility I can't even go to the Manual Setup as I'm getting the Error 4. Internet works fine as the router and modem are hooked up to my computer via Ethernet cable.
I did a factory reset and the AE is broadcasting again. but I can't get in to protect the network. And it's still blinking amber.
Any thoughts would be great. -
I am looking for help. I have been trying to get my iPads and I phones to sync a calendar to all the devices. I can't get anything to work. I am completely frustrated. I have been working for hours and getting no where. I have 2 iPads and 2 phones. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
Thank YouClick (or touch) the "Calendars" icon in the upper left corner. You should see something similar to this:
"ICLOUD" should be the only calendar set indicated on each device (otherwise, you'll get double entries). -

I lost my photoshop elements 7.0 serial number and i had not had it registered so i can't get it back. My old desktop broke and i would like to install photo shop on my new laptop. How can i get it back?
I would first go to your Adobe Account and make sure that all info in it was correct and then match up all S/N's with your records. If you find any problems, then make corrections.
If all matches, but does not work, contact Adobe and see if they still sell replacement DVD's for CS2. Adobe usually does, for a small price. Still, you will need your correct S/N, so you will probably be back on the phone to Adobe. When I once used them for a S/N problem, they were quick and did a perfect job.
Good luck,

My screen is totally blank except for the screen saver and messages that pop up from Macguard. In trying to remove software, I don't know what I did. I have unplugged my imac because I can't even log out. I can't choose any icons to for software or preferences, anything. How can I get these back so I can delete this garbage on my system? Would I be best off going into the Apple Store?
