I have an iMac that I purchased back in 2010 and over the past 9 month or less my computer just started shutting down while someone was in the process or working on it. What could this come from? Is there a simple solutions to this problem?

And just what sort of changes in "appearance" did you expect?
If you can access the editing, conversion, and/or properties options once a file is loaded then the QT 7 app has been upgreaded for "Pro" use.

I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

By default your new Time Capsule will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
Most likely your iMacs will be connected to the wireless network created by the Virgin Media router. However, both should see the Apple Network under the AirPort icon's drop-down menu as another wireless network that they can connect to. Is this not the case?

I have a 500 gig time capsule. I have used with a Macbook. The Macbook has a 500 gig hard drive which is about 3/4 full. Now we just purchased a new MacBook pro with a 1 TB hard drive. Do I need to buy a larger Time Capsule?

Do I need to buy a larger Time Capsule?
Probably yes. You might be able to get the full backup of the new MacBook Pro on the Time Capsule, but it will not be long before the Time Capsule is out of space.
Better to add a new Time Capsule and backup the new MacBook Pro to the new Time Capsule, and keep the old MacBook backing up to the old Time Capsule.
If you do not want to add a new Time Capsule, another option would be to erase the Time Capsule disk and start over again with new backups of both Macs and move forward.

I just got an Airport time capsule 2TB. When I start back-up it backs up about 17kb and then stops but says Calculating time remaining.... Anyone got an idea of what's going on?

Just got an Airport Time capsule,
I set it up as a network extension and began back-up.
It estimated 4 hours so I left it run. After 10 hours I noticed it had stopped backing up but had not back up to the time capsule. So I tried again and it just got stuck on Calculating Time Remaining. I reset the capsule a few times and have set it up as instructed. The same has happened each time.
It backs up about 17kb of info and then freezes with Calculating time remaining below the progress bar.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Network extension sounds onimous.. is this wireless extension.. it is super bad for large TM backups..
Always do the first backup direct by ethernet to the TC even if it has to be in full isolation.
Stalling at 17kb might be just the wireless having issues. Or it can be a corruption in a file.
Pondini is our source of all things Time Machine.. and trouble shooting it.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
A1.. install the widget so you have access to the TM logs.. what the heck it is doing.
A4. if you upgrade installed OS.. do a reset of TM and start over.
A5 verify the disk.
C9 watch out for network names that are over long and over complex.. especially with Mavericks. It is hopeless.
I do recommend using a USB connected drive.. to do a first backup it is often the easy way.
Much faster and more reliable than over network.

I am migrating to a new iMac via TimeMachine back up. My iPhoto libraries are on external drive. I'd like to migrate only the internal hard drive data to the new internal Drive then just plug in iPhoto library drive. Is this going be a problem?

I am migrating to a new iMac via TimeMachine back up. My iPhoto libraries are on an external drive. Both drives are backed up on Time Machine. I'd like to migrate only the old internal hard drive data to the new internal Drive and then just plug in iPhoto library drive to the new iMac. This would save having to transfer several hundred GBs of data. Will this work using Set Up Assistant?

Your user account on the new Mac must have a different UID than on the old one. See the pink box in Problems after using Migration Assistant for an explanation.
You'll need to change the permissions on the iPhoto library on the external HD. Do a Get Info on it, click the padlock at the bottom of the Sharing & Permissions section of the Info window and enter your Admin password.
Then click the plus sign, select the user account you want on the next screen, and click Select. Then change Read only to Read & Write for that user via the little arrows. Finally, click the "gear" icon and select Apply to enclosed items. That may take a few mintutes on a large library.

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

Time Capsule 1TB Will this unit still be compatible with Lion OSX ,As I have not switched yet until other programs I have installed on my mac are up to speed

I have had my eye on one of these for quite some time in the past and up until just very recently have puchased a 1TB Time Capsule at rather quite a reasonable price or so I had thought compared to what they had been priced at originally in the past which I had thought to be a bit over the top as is with most of apple's products or should I more say marketing tactic's,
Anyway I was just wanting to know in general is this unit already so to speak on it's way out or becoming obsolete in comparison to the 2TB's and 3TBs Time Capsules ,
Not the implicating the obvious being storage in differences but more so the compatibility issue side of things,
In short will this unit still work with OSX Lion for example, or is it only limited to Leopard and Snowleopard,
The place I had purchased this unit from are more or less in the dark themselves and although more than helpful are more a musical instrument outlet than a computer store as the decision was my choice alone in which I need not to be convinced,
Although I have purchased this item I am yet to recieve as this unit was the one of the last in the country and is to be shipped in from out of town,
But has given me time to think of such in the process during as this unit is no longer advertised amongst it bigger companions,
I use my mac or mac's mainly for composing music with such software as Pro Tools 8 soon to be 9 and also Live 8 Studio as I don't plan to plan to change over to Lion OSX until these programs are up to speed and speaking the same language,

Yes, it's compatible with Lion.

I have Verizon FiOS service for phone, internet and TV but I only have one TV hooked up for it for just basic cable service with no DVR and no need for widgets. Can I use an Airport Extreme as my router and not use the FiOs router?

I want to use an Airport Extreme as my router. I currently have a Verizon FiOS router. I have Verizon for phone, internet and TV. However, TV-wise, I just have a basic service for one TV with just a regular box. No HD, no DVR. Don't need access to a menu, widgets, on-demand. Can I eliminate the FiOS Router and just use the Airport Extreme and still have phone and internet?

I know that it will increase my wireless coverage in my house but will it increase the speeds?
Not sure what you are asking here. The AirPort Extreme is only going to be as fast as the Internet connection that it receives.....which is 75/75. It cannot take a 75/75 connection and make it go any faster.
If you locate the AirPort Extreme in an area where you need more wireless signal coverage, the AirPort Extreme would deliver 75/75 in that area. But, keep in mind that the AirPort Extreme must connect to the FIOS router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
If you are asking if the AirPort Extreme can wirelessly connect to the FIOS modem router, and extend the FIOS wireless network, the AirPort Extreme would not be compatible with a FIOS product for that purpose.

I have recently tried to access my itunes account but am unable to. I installed and uninstalled the new download several times. I know I have a balance from itunes cards on my account as I received an email recently. I have an ipod shuffle

I have tried to access the itunes store by many different means. I know I have account balance as I put in 2 gift cards back in March and have not used them all. I recently installed and uninstalled itunes several times but I still cannot open it on my computer. When plugging in my ipod shuffle it does not automatically load either although my computer says it's working correctly.

Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.

Websites that involve JavaScript will load but an error message will pop up and soemtimes the website may not even load at all. How do I resolve this issue?

When first loading a variety of different pages (USPS.com for instance) that utilize java, I get an error message: "[JavaScript Application] Error: The operation is insecure." This is not happening in any other browsers installed on my computer and this only started happening roughly a week ago. It is becoming a bit annoying and prohibits me from being able to register some software due to the JavaScript errors that are occuring.

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js

PDF documents which are made OCR compatible cant be found on AirPort Time Capsule 3TB Disk

Hi,
HW/SW : iMAC 27 OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
HW/SW : AirPort Time Capsule 3TB Disk Version 7.7.3
SW : Acrobat XI PRO 11.0.06
SW : ABBYY FineReader Pro 12.0.4
PDF documents which are made OCR compatible cant be found on latest TimeCapsule (folders).
I use my TC additionaly as drive to share across my Wi-Fi network.
When I save the folder on my Local MAC I search via finder/spotlight a word and the PDFs which have the words in the document show up but when I save the folder on the TimeCapsuleDisk they dont.
I use Acrobat XI PRO to make the PDF OCR capable and also ABBYY FineReader PRO
Saved OCR'ed PDF's on local disk of my iMAC
Saved OCR'ed PDF's on AirPort Time Capsule 3TB Disk ( latest firmware etc. )
Search via finder in Folders & "Spotlight"
PDF OCR'ed files popup on local MAC disk
PDF OCR'ed files (same folder c&p to TC) on TC disk do not popup ( clicked in search also on the specific folder but no finding )
The finder/Spotlight finds documents on TC "names" but looks like from my point of view, it does not go into the documents which are OCR capable to search for these words.
Why ?
Any possebility to solve this ?
Thanks and best regards,
Sandro

Did you ever figure this out?

HT4623 I have tried to download and install the new IOS7 to my IPhone 4 three times but nothing happened. What do I do next? I no longer have a "1" on my settings.

Plug the device into a computer running iTunes and update.

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.
