I cannot click on the menu, the beachball is rotating on my desktop, none of the files appear, and when I click on the Finder, the files are there but inaccessible. All applications open. How do I fix this?

hi there,
try booting into safe mode, by pressing the Shift button once you hear the startup sound.
Hope this helps,
Chris

You can although did it not also identify a troubleshooting document for you to use? The package for support option will simply make the installation log available for Adobe employees to review. If you would like to respond with your token number I would be happy to look at the log file.
Alternately you can follow the directions listed in Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. This is exactly the same process which I would use to review your installation log.

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

HT1351 Whether or not I sync items on iTunes to my ipod, I cannot eject the ipod because a message keeps coming up and saying that my ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. How do I fix this?

I just got an ipod classic 7th generation a couple days ago and I'm having a heck of a time with it. My latest problem is that with media on iTunes, I cannot eject the ipod because it says that it cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. What application is this, and what do I do about it?

Hi newipoduser,
Here are some possible solutions:
Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
Finally, you can restart your computer.
Hope one of these helps!
Cheers,
GB

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

When sharing an email the background like corkboard is not there- just black background shows. How do I fix this?

When sharing an email the background like corkboard is not there- just black background shows. How do I fix this?

Check, if the backgrounds are installed correctly in the system library.
Compare with your other two apples
The corkboard pattern and other backgrounds should be found in
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Shared/Backgrounds/
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Assets/Email/
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Assets/Shared/Backgrounds/Cork/corktile.jpg
To quickly open these folders select the complete line above, ctrl-click it (or right-click) and select "Services" from the pop-up menu. Then select "Open".
Inspect the folder that opens and compare with your other mac, if all files are there and if the permissions are set correctly. Restore from your other mac, if necessary or reinstall iPhoto to restore.
If all folders are there and missing theme files are not the problem, post back.
Regards
Léonie

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

My adobe cloud will not open, how do I fix this?

I have tied to repair, uninstall and reinstall. The most I have gotten is the window for the cloud to open showing the program is there but it does not open at all.
How do I fix this on windows 7?

no the Adobe cloud window opens..the links for the programs dont work on the Cloud screen. Its never happened before. I did find the program and after uninstalling and reinstalling it will come up in programs. But why it crashed fist of all and then why I had nothing at first, then the cloud window, then the program would go no further. All the other links work on my desktop. Just not the Adobe.

I have a 2008 vintage iMac with 2.8GHz processor and recently upgraded to OS X 10.9.5. Soon after theupgrade the mail system started switching the senders address to another address, but same user name. How do you fix this?

Thanks for the reply,. I went to the site provided and executed the directions but this did not solve the issue.
Even more details:
If I send a message to the Jane Doe address from another account on this machine (all my family uses the same email services provider and each have accounts set up on this machine), when you open it, it shows Jane Doe then the <applejax.xx> address AND the picture associated with the Apple Jax account.
So the problem shows up when the message is sent to this account from this machine, AND when it is sent from this machine from this account. No other accounts on the machine are effected.
I have sent and received email messages from the mail service provider's website, and everything is fine.

What you did was sync it to a computer. The iPhone can sync to ONLY one iTunes library at a time. you can't put media on it from multiple computers. It's been this way since 6/29/2007.

Completely different issue. What did you think it would do when you set a passcode for the phone?

They said I need to change my settings to NAT settings. I haven't been able to figure out or find anything. I have also spoken to Apple Support on the phone for hours without being able to figure out how to do this ( i don't think he knew much either lol.) Please help me because I've got about 15-20 devices in my house that require to be connected to the internet and this is just making things ridiculously slow and painful for me.
Thanks!

It is on DHCP & NAT under router mode yet my isp is still the one issuing ip addresses to my devices instead of the router issuing them

I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this?

I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!
