What version of OS X do you have? Messages requires 10.8. Previously it was iChat (but does not have iMessage capability to send texts to an iOS device).

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.

There are two ways that should work. When you are in the trash folder, you can swipe on the email in the list - left to right - and a red Delete button should pop up. Or you can select - Edit - at the top of the list of messages and then select the message and tap delete.
Not sure exactly how this works - but if you have restrictions enabled - especially since you let your grandchild use the device - that may be restricting what you can do in the mail app. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. If you have it set to on - turn it off or see if you have mail restricted.

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked. What am I doing wrong?

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one.
On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

In Aperture using the external photo editor Adobe photoshop elements 10 editor. My photo will not come back to aperture unless the photo is saved on the desktop and then imported back to Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor as external editor in Aperture. The issue is once i make the changes in Photoshop it request that I save (use tiff) and the photo is not update in Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Marianne,
how do you save? Photoshop Elements can save either versions or overwrite the original file, afaik.
You need to set the save preferences, so that it will write to the original file and not write a version. Also the filename extension should be "tiff" and not the default "tif" (I think you did that already).

On my i tunes page on my laptop, I don't see a tab for Photos in the drop down list in my library, so I can't download photos from my laptop. What am I doing wrong?

On my drop down list in my library in i Tunes, I don't see a Photo tab. How do I find that so I can download photos from my hard drive?

No, not on the File menu. Click on the Device that shows up when connected:
Either:
If you do not use the Sidebar, when the iPod is connected to iTunes, you should see this icon appear to the left of the iTunes Store button:
Click on the ringed icon (but not on the "eject" part of it!).
Or
If you use the Sidebar, you will see the Device appear, as shown below:
Click on it.
Once you have clicked on the Device, you should see this (Summary) pane, with the word Summary darkened:
Click on Photos (as ringed above)...
Now you are on the Photos pane (notice Photos is now darkened), where there is a drop-down menu. It's that box that says "My Pictures", where you will find "Choose Folder". That option allows you to choose (as I did) "My Pictures".
Notice in the last screenshot that a message at the very top of the image states that the "iPod Sync is complete". Choosing the folder after the Sync has completed (or passed the "sync photos" section) simply means that it requires another Sync for that change to take effect.
That's it.
Now, whatever pictures you place in the chosen folder will be added to your iPod at the following Sync. Likewise, any pictures you remove from that folder will be removed from the iPod at the following Sync.
You only need to look on the Photos pane if you wish to change the folder option.

I am trying to edit in Elements from Lightroom. When I follow the steps: Photo, Edit In, Elements 11, nothing happens. The screen asking if I want to edit with Lightroom adjustments is supposed to pop up. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix it?

HELP!!!!

No, it's just that adobe makes it really hard to find the actual editor in the mac version. It's in applications>adobe photoshop elements 11>Support Files, not the logical file at the top level of the folder:

I have just started with apple tv. I rented and downloaded a movie from itunes on my macbook pro and tried to watch it. I got the movie up, but it only played a picture for about 3 seconds and then stopped, also no sound? What am I doing wrong?

Please help me play a rented itunes video on apple tv. Have a pictue and movie runs for about three seconds, and then stops. No sound? But I can play any music from my library with sound?

Is the movie still buffering? you may have a slow internet connection. Music files require far less bandwidth than movies.

I installed win 8.1 on my iMac on the bootcamp partition and can't access OSX anymore. What am I doing wrong?

Ever since I installed Windows I don't have an option to switch to Mac.I installed it on the bootcamp partition with the lastest OSX and Windows versions. I did this a few years ago with an older Mac and Vista and remembered a prompt to choose OS during boot. I get nothing but Windows now. Any ideas?

if you restsrt and hold down alt, what boot options do you see
try restarting holding down command+R, choose disk utility and tell me what you see on the upper left hand side under the name of your physical drive

HT201210 i`m trying to update my new iphon with itune. i got a worning no.14 .then i updated apple and tried again but got a massege "iphone not found".all the time there is a serial no. but it says that there is no iphone no. what am i doing wrong?

I am trying to update my new iphon 4.at first i got a massege no.14. then i updated apple &tried again but this time got a massege no iphon found. serial no.appears but not a phone no.what should i do?

Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications. What am I doing wrong???

I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications. Remove alerts or cancel
What am I doing wrong or missing??

I have this same problem in October of 2013. I am unable to import .ics files into Lion that I exported from my Snow Leopard MacBookPro without losing all of my future events (which all have alerts attached). All of the events from BEFORE today's date are successfully importing, presumably because they are no longer expected to trigger alerts via Apple Mail. After my first unsuccessful attempt, I learned that iCal was communicating with iCloud by default. I have since turned off iCloud, but I have not found a solution to the problem. Harvey

I have a desktop Windows XP computer. I have tried loading the new version of firefox, and when I try to open this new version of firefox, this message appears all of the time. I have tried shutting down and restarting. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.
You need to do a clean reinstall.
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

B size) to mail or thumb drive the file is exported to about 560 KB not the original 5.6 MB, what am I doing wrong? thanks

Currently using Aperture ver 3.1.1, when exporting files (5.6 MB size) to email or to thumb drive the file received by email recipent is about 560KB and worthless in size to them. What am I doing wrong? thanks
Hutch

I think, what Kirby meant, is this:
When you are exporting your images with "File > Share < Email", you should see a pop up menu in the upper right corner of the window that lets you chose the file size:
What are your settings there? You should pick "Actual size", if the Mail server will let you send 5 MB files. Quite often the limit is 2 or 3 MB.
Is "Mail.app" the Mils client you are usimng, or are using a different mailer?

My computer won't allow me to restore the factory settings.What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to restore my computer to the factory settings, but it won't allow me to erase everything from the hard drive. It won't even allow me to delete me as a user. What am I doing wrong?

You can't erase a volume while booted from it. Start up from the installation DVD, erase the volume, and reinstall.

I set up icloud , ran the back up but nothing is showing in I cloud what am I doing wrong

I set up a new iCloud ran the back up on my iPhone but nothing is still showing in iCloud no contacts no photos nothing what am I doing wrong????

Where are you looking in iCloud? On a computer at iCloud.com?
Are both the computer and the iOS device signed onto iCloud with the Contacts, Photo Stream, etc. buttons turned on?
And the backup process has nothing to do with what goes to iCloud.com. The backup is a backup of your device in case you need it for a restore.
