I have had my mac for over a year..and loving it

What can I do at this point to clean it or keep it running as well as it has so far?

Some people will periodically run OnyX, which is a disk maintenance program. You can download it from http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php . Run the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. With any disk maintenance software, you should have a backup before using it. I've used OnyX for years, and it works well. Others have found that it helps with performance when run periodically.
Make sure you don't have less than 5GB, or keep 10% to 15% of your hard drive free for systems usage. Less than that can crimp systems performance.

HT5554 I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.

Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier.

Ask the people at the store the gift card came from or the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

I have had Adobe XI for about two years and My harddrive just crashed. My backups were part of the failure so I can't get it back. I purchased it from a third part supplier and it was a download. I need to find out how to get it restored. I can send screen shots of all of the drive location where the drive is still good and I can see my Adobe Acrobat pro information, but the download itself is missing. NEXT STEP?

If you are talking about Reader (you did post in the Reader forum), then just download http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise. However Reader is free not purchasable. You can download a trial then install using your serial number, which if you didn’t register or write down somewhere you will be out of luck to track down.

I have had my iPhone for about a year, and I have a photo file from my old blackberry. When I go to back up my photos, it only backs up the camera roll. How do I back up the other album? The laptop where I had those photos broke, please can someone help.

You're going to have to email those photos to yourself.

HT5312 how do i reset my security questions if i don't have a rescue email? i have had my account for about 1 year and i don't know how to set up a rescue email.

i just want to know how to make a rescue email adress and change my security questions after having my account for about 1 year and no rescue email.

If you're able to correctly answer two of the questions, go back to the article you asked this question from and follow the instructions. If not, go back to it and use the link in the Additional Information section to ask Apple to reset the questions.

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!

I have had my ipod for about three years and for the first time I can't downloan all my music. Only about 10% is downloading. I deleted sveral play lists to make I have plenty of space. Any suggestions?

I have had my ipod classic for several years and never had a problem downloading all my music. Now for the 1st time I can only download about 10% of my music. Any ideas?

Which version of iTunes are you using? (please give me the version number and not the "latest")
What is the iPod software number as listed in the iTunes summary page?
How much free space, do you see on your iPod screen, when you go down main menu and select the settings?
And it should also display on your iTunes summary screen, when you connect the iPod, the free space available.
How much song to you want to sync to you iPod?, normally if it is "Auto Sync", iTunes will delete all the songs in iPod and reload with the library content.
If you have more than enough space in iPod and the sync stop at 10%, then it is another common unresolve problem, with Ipod Classic and iTunes interfacing.
Have a nice day

I have had my ipod for about 3 years and do not have the computer my music was saved on, now its only on my ipod. I got a new computer, is there any way to transfer my music from my ipod to my itunes?

see question

So what would happen if you lost your iPod or it was stolen? Answer, all your music would be gone.
The iPod is not a storage device.
Do you have a backup of your media from your old computer? If so, copy all your media from that backup to your new computer.
Otherwise, try searching the forums for an answer to your question. This EXACT same question is asked and answered many times every day.

I had a problem for over a year and now it's fixed. Does anyone know what caused the problem and what fixed it?

Here's the original problem
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/890221?esab=a&s=&r=2&as=s
It seems to have finally been fixed in firefox 22 (or 21). I'd love to know what the original cause of the problem was and whether it was fixed by firefox or OS X

I dont think any bugs were filed like this, likely something Apple fixed.

I've had my mac for over year and in the past two weeks the Mac keeps dropping my internet connection?

I've had my Mac for over a year with no problems. In the last week I have started dropping my internet connection. I've try all the fixes in the Apple Support website with no luck.

The waranty should cover it.

Error message saying this device cannot be used because Apple mobile device service is not started. What does this mean and how do I start service....had these devices for over a year now??

When I tried to sync my iphone 4 and ipad in iturnes, an error message popped up saying this device cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started! What does that mean and how do I start service? I've had these devices for over a year and update and sync regularly and have never seen this message before!

I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

TS4088 why is there a limit on 3 years? it should be all the MacBook Pro mid 2010 with symptoms, there should get their logic board changed for free, mine mac is 3 month late and i had this problem for over a year, but i first saw this article today :(

Hey Clintonfrombirmingham
I called Apple technical support in Denmark, but with no positive reply.
She couldn't do anything, and said that They had sent a recall Email about the problem and with their offer to repair the Macbook Pro, but I'd never recieved an Email about the problem. She wasn't in power to make an exception. It can't be true that i paid a lot of money, for a product that can't barely stand on its own feets, Apple didn't tell me that the product I was about to buy, would restart every 5 minute. and now when they know the problem, they wont repair it? it just don't make sense for me. If a car seller discovers that all the brakes in a car he had sold, will crash after some years he will call all the cars back to repair no mater what. i just don't understand how Apple will make good service for their custumers, by extending the warranty from 2 to 3 years, but wont take the computers there is a little bit to old, 4 months will make the difference. i can't believe it.
What can i do now?
best regards Oskar
