I downloaded ICloud yesterday and it has been backing up/syncing for the past 18 hours. Is this normal? Should I stop the back up and try to re-sync or just let it keep going. I use the 3G network (WiFi) with Verizon
I downloaded ICloud and IOS5 yesterday afternoon and it has been backing up/syncing to IPAD since 7:30 PM (over 18 hours). Is this usual or is there a problem with what it is doing. Should I stop the backup and start over or just let it keep going? I have WiFi, 3G through Verizon and it is rather slow. I am afraid that it might be using up all my available data allowance and is going to create a huge phone bill. Can anyone advise me as to what I should do? Has anyone had this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Lucy
You are downloading the update to iOS 5 and that would have to be done within iTunes on your computer using a WiFi network. The 3G service on the iPad is not being used for this or are you downloading some way that I've never heard of?
There is no way that it should take 18 hours so something has gone wrong. What stage are you stuck at? What does the iTunes progress bar indicate?

Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?
I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well. -

Been waiting 24 hrs for apple ID verification is this normal
Been waiting 24 hrs for apple ID verification is this normal
Seems like so many are having the same problem, but Apple has not offered any advice or statements yet. I was also asked to verify my apple id, but no email arrived and I have been locked out of my itunes account and icloud ever since...this apple id has been verified for many years already and it makes no sense that it needs re-verification. I researched my account at http:// appleid.apple.com and found that my original apple id ([email protected]) was still associated with my current email address, which happens to be my current apple id as well. (This merging occurred a few years ago at the request of Apple, mind you. I did not choose to make this change. But now my @mac.com original apple id and my current email address are no longer merged for access itunes account.)
So, I reverified my original @mac.com apple id which asked for a password change and credit card information for itunes. I reluctantly did this simply to have access to itunes...but, this created a "NEW" itunes account that is no longer linked to my regular itunes account that I am currently locked out of. (Strangely, the email address associated with my @mac.com account is the same as my old account....I am totally confused now)
I then signed into my iCloud account, through my iphone, using the @mac.com account. And now that part works. But still locked out of itunes account. -

I beg to differ. I didn't miss any point about the button being held in but you did miss the point that disengaging the earthing does make a difference at times . . .
What I wrote was. . . . . . "and maybe switch the power off the computer, or pull out the power plug, keeping it out for about ten seconds before the restart ? That, you will note, is a plus to the correct information!"
One more time, the Mac is ungrounded (no earth), the magsafe (in countries like the UK) has a 3 pin plug but there is still no earth connection beyond the ac adaptor, after that it is Dc positive / negative. Regardless of the foregoing off is off, no current flows! -

There is amazingly little on the web about this unwanted software regarding Safari. Also just noticed I repeated the same nonsense removal instructions you found. Sorry for being a parrot.
Couple of things to try.
1) Close Safari. Open the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder. Press Command+2 to change it to List view, then click Date Modified to sort them by time/date. Newest date should be at the top. If there's anything there with a date of just the past of couple of days, move it to the desktop. Launch Safari. Is it gone?
2) There are actually three folders named Internet Plug-Ins. Check the ones in the System folder, and in your user account Library folder. Again, looking for anything added just recently.
I saw the same page Linc posted to, but it didn't dawn on me at the time what the relation may be. Open the System Preferences and click on the Language & Region icon. If you see any Asian languages in the list as shown below. Highlight it and press the minus button to remove it. -

Help with Time Machine for iMac.... Trying to back up iMac on to 2 TB external Hard Drive... it backed up 24.87 GB or the 459.29 GB and stopped.... now have a pinwheel... should I start over or let it work through?
Please read and use Time Machine FAQs & Time Machine Troubleshooting. If those do not solve your problem then please repost in the version of OS X you are using. Time Machine is part of OS X therefore you will find the most information for it there. For example if you are using Snow Leopard then use that forum.
Also when posting it's critical we at least know what version of OS X is installed on your iMac. Please complete your profile in the Your Stuff link above. -
I am trying to sync my iphone with my computer for the first time. It has been stuck on calendar for couple of hours. Should I unplug it and try again later??
Since the maximum OS X version for an eMac is 10.5, how are you running OS X 10.7.5 on the eMac?

I have been trying to download flash to watch an exam review and it has been stuck at 30% for hours. I tried restarting the download and it went to 30% and stopped again. I am using a Mac with the most up to date software available for it.
This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
1.) Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Download the stand-alone installer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg -

It solved the problem with my iPod. Had the same issue as above since yesterday. Thought my iPod broke.
This helps. I've got back my iPod. So happy................... -
Hi Can anyone please tell me from where I can download the Photoshop CS6 program I purchased a download (media less) some 2 years ago and all has been OK up to know but I am know having issues and would like to uninstall and reinstall. I have the relevant codes and activation keys but would need to be sure I can obtain the program again before I start. Thank you
Make sure you are dealing with the correct product for the serial number. If the serial number is for a full creative suite then you need to get the suite, not the individual application, and vice versa.
Unrelated to that, in case it helps, here is a link to another site. You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.
