I can't get iCal to stop importing

I can't get iCal to shut down

rjorden,
Force quit iCal. >Force Quit>iCal.
Then remove the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the .plist file to your desktop.. Also go to your HD/Users/yourusernam/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal/Calendar for functionality.
To find the correct Library Folder for Preferences/Calendar, select Finder>Go and depress the Option key.

Iphoto has been importing photos for over an hour and i can't get it to stop. can't stop importing and can't shut down computer.

iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop. Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.

iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
System boot drive
Media and data folders and such
scratch
backup
etc
I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?

My Finder is going crazy. Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop. buttons don't work.

Something else you can try.
In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates.

Remote app - constantly reconnecting, can't get it to stop

Any ideas?
I took the Remote app for a dry run, and everything worked fine - I really like it.
Next, I bought an Airport Express. I'm still working out problems, but that's another post in another area...
The problem now is, I can get iTunes playing through the AE to my stereo, but the Remote app is constantly reconnecting to iTunes. I can't get it to stop this procedure.
I hear music, and in the half second between reconnects, I can use the Remote app to advance to the next song. It reconnects all the time, though, every 5 seconds maybe, making browsing through playlists or albums impossible.
Also, I've tried the "Stay Connected" both on and off, but neither makes any difference.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks,
-Trevor

Well - after reading through the abundant suggestions... not...
I've ditched the ad hoc network treatment, and switched to a wireless access point for my airport express. So far (this afternoon only), I am no longer having this problem.
I'll mark the question answered.

I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it. how do I kill the download?

I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it. how do I kill the download?

You've got to be freakin' kidding me. I'm in Brazil, I accidentally started a 2.2GB download that it says will take 592 minutes to download, and there's no way I can stop it and download something else until that first download finishes? I would have thought it was unthinkable 15 years ago that anyone would build an app that downloads things but doesn't allow the option of canceling the download, but in this day and age? So much for Apple making intuitive, user-friendly products.

Or better yet, create and use new Apple IDs for others in your household. You could always use different Apple IDs for iCloud services (like iMessage and FaceTime) and iTunes and App Store., but it's even easier to share purchased content now with Family Sharing.

I have ical on two computers. Can't get ical (vers. 4) with OS 10.6 to copy to older desk top with OS 10.4 with ical vers 2. Is there a way to do this?

I have ical on two computers. Can't get ical (vers. 4) with OS 10.6 to copy to older desk top with OS 10.4 with ical vers 2. Is there a way to do this?

No. iCal isn't just the program you open to see the calendars, there are other things going on beneath the surface, and it's hooked into the System. 10.4 doesn't have the facilities to run iCal intended for 10.6.

I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.

What is NetAuthAgent and how can I get it to stop looking for the unnamed file?

Since the last Mountain Lion update on my MacBook Pro, I get this error message every few minutes:

      inErrorInfo = {
           AuthType = Server;
           ErrorNumber = 45;
           ErrorType = 4;
          Scheme = file;

If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

HT201317 I can't get photostreaming to stop downloading even tho I deleted photos and turned off. It's using my data minutes and I'm over my usage because its always downloading mode

I can't get photostreaming to stop downloading even tho I deleted all photos and turned off. It is always in downloading mode. It's using my data minutes

Okay, I figured it out.
I would clear the cache while the page was still being viewed in a window, and for some reason that didn't actually clear the cache. So that's the browser's being a good little browser, but it's annoying because it should clear everything.
iWeb also has a problem in that is tells pages to cache forever, so the browsers are only doing what they're told.
Close the window, clear the cache, good to go.

Did you try shutting down the device? Resetting? Disabling iCloud? Disabling auto-update?
I'd find the problem that is keeping the download from proceeding and fix that so that the process can finish...sounds like it may be your connection or a server issue, in which case you may need to wait.

I can't get photoshop CS6 to import from my HP scanjet 5590?

I can't get photoshop CS6 to import from my HP scanjet 5590? I have tried plug ins, and reinstally scanner software but it only recognizes my main scanner/printer!

Hello & Welcome to the forums,
but it only recognizes my main scanner/printer!
Does this mean your HP Scanjet 5590 is a 2nd scanner you have on your computer?
Are you able to scan with 5590 on a different application? Is it only Photoshop that is giving you this problem?
Please let us know details about your operating system and its version too.
Do tell us how you're trying to 'import' pictures from your 5590 scanner.
