I have an iMac 3.06 24" late 2008 model. On the superdrive slot, one of the rubber protective strips is damaged. When I eject a disc, it blocks the disc from fully releasing. Any help in fixing this?

Ok, maybe it isn't rubber but it felt like it. Maybe it is felt or something similar. But you can see in the photos what the problem is. I am just afraid that the piece is going to get jammed into the super drive and really screw it up. Thanks for investigating.

I am signed into my iTunes account. However, Im asked for answers to security questions I can't remember. I have clicked to reset through e-mail, yet I am not getting any email from iTunes. Any advice on fixing this?

If you are not getting the email, you can contact Apple Support to have your Security Questions reset:

Once you get them reset, check your Rescue Email address on Manage Your Apple ID to make sure it is still a functional address. It is not the same as your primary or alternate address.

I can't trasfer music from my library in itunes to my iphone 3GS. A black ring with a line through it comes up when i try to move music onto my iphone from itunes. How can I fix this so that I can load my phone with music?

How are you trying to transfer it and what are your setting on iTunes. I'm not on a computer that has iTunes at the moment so I'm going from memory and similar issue. If iTunes is set to sync music then I don't think you can select and drag, if set to manual manage music then you can. Also make sure you are dragging to music on the iPhone.
Hope this helps

After the installation of win7 with bootcamp Lion stops booting at apple logo. Any help to fix this ?

I installed Windows 7 with Bootcamp on a new iMac 21inch with Lion. Everything went well. While running win7 I installed some software like Daemon Tools and Fear 3. It runs perfectly. When I reboot into Lion (throught Bootcamp) the computer stops at the Apple logo. It stays there for hours. I checked and restored the Macintosh HD but it keeps hanging. After restoring a backup with timemachine everthing works fine and the computer boots into Lion. Rebooting in Windows is working, but again when I reboot into Lion it stops at the Apple logo. Anyone can help me fix this ?

I have trouble understanding
When or how ?
When you SET LION to be the default startup disk / OS from Windows Taskbar? from Windows control panel "Boot Camp" where you can also set the default?
If you have any external drives, disconnect them, and anything else.
If you set Lion to be the default in Lion System Preferences control panel "startup disk" - then boot into Windows using Alt or Control panel, then let it restart itself and go into Mac OS X.
Normally trouble booting Mac OS is due to a check disk going on, dirty file system journal directory or from forced hard restarts.
Boot into Recovery Partition Mode and check your partitions and repair. Command R
There are details though that are probably missing.

My iMac has a Kernel Panic screen come up on start up and I can't get past it no matter what I try. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

My mac has a "Kernel Panic" screen come up on start up. No matter what I try I can't get past this to fix it. Any hints out there? Do I have to completely wipe my drive and re-install to fix this? I can't even back up my files before doing this as like I say I can't get past the Kernel Panic message.

There are some fairly informative articles about kernel panics...
•OS X: About kernel panics:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Note the toggle triangles to get more info in the above article, some are
important steps, with alternative methods of accessing or performing a
suggested activity and may vary with the OS X version in use.
•Resolving Kernel Panics:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
•Technical Note: TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2063/_index.html
The above TN covers several technical aspects to identify & troubleshoot.
Some are above the average user needs, but still can be rather helpful.
Hopefully you can get past the kernel panic screen, there are several
ways to attempt to do that, however if the issue is hardware, a reinstall
of the OS X may not cure the underlying cause of the symptom.
Good luck & happy computing!

After removing the "Live Security Platinum" virus, Firefox crashes every time I close it and it runs very slowly (v14.0.1). Is there any way to fix this?

Firefox doesn't exactly crash while I'm using it. The thing is that when I close it and reopen it, it says it crashed and offers to restore the previous session. To my knowledge, this didn't happen until after I had the "Live Security Platinum" virus and removed it. Firefox is also very, very slow. Has anyone else had this particular problem?

Hi there, sorry about your problems. It could be that the virus remover didn't fully clean up Firefox.
Try the Reset Firefox feature, which should restore it back to a normal working state without removing your personal data such as bookmarks: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems?s=reset+firefox&r=0&e=es&as=s#os=mac&browser=fx13

IOS 7 blocked uncertified chargers?Is there any way to fix this?

I just read that Apple blocked uncertified lightning cables with the ios 7! Those were the only ones I had that WORKED, APPLE! I have a box full of certified chargers that don't work. The optimism I had for a better quality charger lasted only as long as the first one that died...less than a month. Nine months ago we bought 3 iphone 5's and 2 iPads. None of those chargers work. I have HAD to buy chargers that were not certified because, really, who in their right mind would pay $30 for something that is designed to break (as evidenced by my "Box-O'-Apple-FAIL")?
It has to be one of two reasons.
1. They are purposely making faulty equipment.
2. They literally CAN'T figure out how to make a charger!
The "plug in, turn off, turn back on" didn't work. I'm hoping somebody has figured this out. If not... well played Apple, for fixing it so I have a box of crappy certified chargers and now a box of ones that you made sure I can't use and no Apple store within 120 miles!

Between my wife and I, we have 7 lightning cables covering home, work, and the cars... we have NEVER had one fail. Well.... we won't talk about the one the cat chewed up...
If they are failing that often for you, either you are doing something to physically damage them, or the power source you're using is highly unstable and is cooking the chip in them.

Need help on fixing this bug

Hello!
I have my cod which needs some bug fixing. This is a drag and drop application where the user will drap the correct answer on corresponding targets. My problem here is, when one target is already occupied by an object i can still drop another object there, which shouldn't. can you please help me fix this?
thanks in advance!
Sincerely.
Milo
Here's my code:
var startX: Number;
var startY: Number;
var correct: Number = 0;
var attempt: Number = 0;
var currentlyDragged:MovieClip;
// collection of objects stored in array
// so that you can reference them programmatically
var objects:Array = [at1, in1, in2, in3, in4, in5, in6, in7, in8, on1, on2];
activateObjects();
// assigns listeners and other functionality to the objects in objects array
function activateObjects():void {
     for each(var mc:MovieClip in objects) {
          mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickObject);
          mc.buttonMode = true;
          // assign drop targets based on names
          switch(String(mc.name).substring(0, 2)) {
               case "at":
                    mc.dropTargets = [targetAT1];
               break;
               case "in":
                    mc.dropTargets = [targetIN1, targetIN2, targetIN3, targetIN4, targetIN5, targetIN6, targetIN7, targetIN8];
               break;
               case "on":
                    mc.dropTargets = [targetON1, targetON2];
               break;
function pickObject(e:MouseEvent):void {
     currentlyDragged = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);
     currentlyDragged.startDrag();
     startX = currentlyDragged.x;
     startY = currentlyDragged.y;
     stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
function dropObject(e:MouseEvent):void {
     stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
     stopDrag();
     var droppedOn:MovieClip;
     if (currentlyDragged.dropTarget) {
          // loop through targets belonging to the currently dragged clip
          for each(var mc:MovieClip in currentlyDragged.dropTargets) {
               if (currentlyDragged.hitTestObject(mc)) {
                    // get the target
                    droppedOn = mc;
                    currentlyDragged.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickObject);
                    currentlyDragged.buttonMode = false;
                    currentlyDragged.x = droppedOn.x;
                    currentlyDragged.y = droppedOn.y;
                    correct++;
                    correctCounter.text = String(correct);
                    // stop loop - it is not necessary to continue
                    break;
     attempt++;
     attemptCounter.text = String(attempt);
     // return to the initial position if there is no hit
     if (!droppedOn) {
        currentlyDragged.x = startX;
        currentlyDragged.y = startY;
     if (correct == objects.length) {
          var congrats:CongratsMC = new CongratsMC();
          // place i in the middle of the screen
          congrats.x = (stage.stageWidth - congrats.width) * .5;
          congrats.y = (stage.stageHeight - congrats.height) * .5;

Try the code below.
Also, use int instead of Number whenever possible - it is smaller and faster.

import flash.display.Sprite;

var correct:int = 0;
var attempt:int = 0;

var objects:Array = [at1, in1, in2, in3, in4, in5, in6, in7, in8, on1, on2];
var congrats = new CongratsMC();
congrats.addEventListener("close", closeCongrats);
activateObjects();
// assigns listeners and other functionality to the objects in objects array
function activateObjects():void {
     for each(var mc:MovieClip in objects) {
          mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickObject);
          mc.buttonMode = true;
          // assign drop targets based on names
          switch(String(mc.name).substring(0, 2)) {
               case "at":
                    mc.dropTargets = [targetAT1];

               break;

I haven't gotten a new sim card because the problem has been presenting itself in various cards not only mine. So far, all I've done is reset my network settings.
Last night, I turned off the 3G tab and it had all the signal bars. Today, I did the network reset and it's working apparently. But like I said before, previously the bars just disappear and the iphone only has the 3G activated.

I too have the same problem. The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video. Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a joke, my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well. at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues. Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!, there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.
