I have a problem with my new Apple Air. It usually takes few seconds for the laptop to be untouched in order to be locked. So, sometimes when the screen starts to get dim in order to lock, I immediately touch the keypad to avoid locking the laptop, the result is a black screen appears with no responding to anything from pressing the keyboard to pressing the touchpad. It takes few minutes for the laptop to open again and then a message appears saying that there was a problem with the lock security.
What is happening exactly?

It sounds like your sleep timers are set to too low of a value. Go to System Preferences -> Energy Saver and set both timers to longer times. The computer sleep timer should be a longer time than the display sleep timer.

I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home on/off button)

I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home on/off button). Anyone out there can help. Thanks.

I have a 64GB iPad Air WiFi+Cellular (Verizon), and I don't see the issues you are describing. First I would suggest that you update your iPad to the newest iOS update. If that doesn't help, then you may want to schedule an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar. If you go this route, I suggest that you let the iPad sleep for long enough for the problem to arise before you go to your appointment.

Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.

Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.
When I try to use the cameras, it doesn't work.
I get to take 3-4 pictures and after that all I see is the shutter.
It happends even if just start the camera app, or the facetime app, after 4-5s.
I've reinstalled IOS 6.1 but nothing changed.
It is a new ipad. What can I do?

Ok, Orange Romania changed my iPad mini but now I have another problem.
I bought the iPad mini on 01/feb/2013, took it to service on 06/feb/2013, and got another ipad mini on 12/feb/2013.
But the new ipad mini keeps requesting the password for some user [email protected], and it does it from the first day of activation. This is suspect for me, so I checked it's serial with selfsolve.apple.com and it shows "Estimated Expiration Date: January 31, 2014" and since it has one year free service I am worried the iPad mini wasn't new.
Please help.

Notice the "up to"....you can get 8 hours if the laptop is asleep and you don't use it but if you actually use it and espescially if you use wireless and have the screen on full bright, 3 hours is very good for a full-sized powerful laptop. Run it down to 20% and recharge it a few times to let Windows calibrate the battery and the run time will stretch a bit, but 5 hours is a home run and 3.5 hours is acceptable on that class of laptop. Here are a few tricks you can use to stretch the battery as far as possible:

See Below. I have a problem with receiving email. Sending is ok. This is for my Thunderbird email account.

"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table. Please check the message recipient [email protected] and try again."

''I have a problem with receiving email.''
''An error occurred while sending mail.''
Who is right here?
''This is for my Thunderbird email account.''
There is no such thing as a 'Thunderbird email account'. Thunderbird is an email client, and you use it to retrieve mail from an account you created with your email provider.

Homeshare login problems with my new Apple TV (2nd gen)

My Apple ID is my first name, a space and then my last name. The problem is when I attempt to login, there is no space button (button is occupied by the "dot com" button). The underscore button and the dash button do not work. I spoke with tech support and they said I need to wait for a SW update but had no other info. Has anyone heard about any work-arounds? Any word on a SW update ETA?

workaround would be to change your apple id so that it doesn't have a space

no-one here will know as we are all just users like you.

I have a problem with deownloading new OS.

I'm having trouble downloading the new OS on my netbook for my iPod Touch. The update seems to download fine until it gets to the end of the download and it looks like its going to load it to the iPod, but then it gives me a message saying network has timed out. Everytime at the end of the download it does this. Anyone else experiencing this same problem?

On Windows machines, this is usually caused by your anti-virus software. Turn it off for the download.

Problems with my new MacBook air

Hello, I have a new MacBook Air, OSX MAVERICKS 10.9.2 which I purchased two weeks ago and it is (1) only recognising my log in password sporadically, and (2) it seems to be freezing up very often, when I do get it to recognise me, and (3) I can't open any application without it asking for a keychain password , which it doesn't recognise when I do enter it. any suggestions to help me with this problem?

Hi
You would probably be best placed to call AppleCare - you get free phone support within 90 days of purchase.

Starting problems with a new MacBook Air

I have just bought a new MacBook Air, and have followed the set up assistant all the way to the last page
The message "Thank you, your Mac is now ready to use",appeared and I clicked "Start using Mac"
The rainbow colloured cirkle just keeps on turning - but nothing happens. And it hasn't for 8 hours
In the process I have used an external USB mobile hard drive to transfer data from my old MacBook.
There was no indication of any problem using this in the setup process.
I have after 8 hours in desperation removed the mobile hard drive - with no result.
Please, can someone help me from what is becoming the the turning madness of 'the evil rainbow eye'?

Maybe another shutdown then start, will help: hold the on/off button untill it shuts off.
Do not connect anything.
When it will not start again, you shutdown and start while holding the three keys at the same time: the CMD key + Alt(=option) key + R key:
You need an internet connection, it will start in the internet recovery "disk" and then you choose Recover OSX.
It will take some time.

Problems with my "new" Apple TV

Hi,
First of all, excuse my english, I'm from Spain and I don't use to speak/write it.
I've bought a second hand Apple TV from someone in my company. The first thing I've did was complete fabric restore. After that, when I plugged it on, it starts correctly, but when I'm watching a sample music video o a movie trailer sometimes the image has little crashes (like cuts). It's strange, because before, de ATV downloads all the movie as I can see in the progress bar... The other thing I've noticed it's that I've tried to upgrade the firmware, it came with the 1.0 one (maybe those cuts are a firmware bug...), an error appear in the screen after it has downloaded the new firmware, just when I click with the remote in "apply upgrade now". Maybe I may try again...
Are these two things normal?
Thanks everybody!

The progress bar is not the whole video, just the video buffer filling, so if you have a slow connection (like me) you'll find it might stop and start despite the blue bar filling to the right.

What's the error message?
Could be AppleTv can't find the update server or something.

Problems with installing new programs

Dear all,
since the update to OS X Yosemite, I have some problems with installing new programs.
I tried to install the Fitbit App to connect my Fitbit to my Mac but the program can't be started after installation. I have the same problem with Blackberry Blend, too. I am able to install it but it doesn't start running.
Does anybody have an idea what's the problem?
Thank You,
Lisa.

Did you receive any errors during the installation itself or does this happen when you try to open Photoshop?

I have a problem with my new Apple Air. It usually takes few seconds for the laptop to be untouched in order to be locked. So sometimes when the screen starts to get dim in order to lock, I immediately touch the keypad to avoid locking the laptop
