I just bought a Ipad and know nothing about it. I have been charging it for about 2 hours and when I try to turn it on it shows the Itune icon and the plug thats it wont do anything else. Any suggestions on what to do?

iPads are devices and not PCs, so it needs a functioning relationship with a PC to work.
Download iTunes onto your PC, then connect your iPad to that PC. That should get you started.

That's an issue with your system. Try removing the iTunes and the other APPLE software related from your system and reinstall it again.

Mavericks is not recognizing the .smi extension - on my Mac it thinks it's a RealPlayer document. You are not going to be able to do anything with this - it requires AppleWorks to be present to be updated, and you can't run AppleWorks on Mavericks (other than by the rather roundabout process of installing Snow Leopard Server in Parallels and installing AppleWorks on that, as described here).

Try to Reset your device.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

When I click on Print to print a pdf from my computer, the message "initialization of rasteurization module failed". What does this mean - how do I fix it?

Why can't I print a pdf in Acrobat Pro? I keep getting the message "initialization of rasteurization module failed". What does that mean and how do I fix that?

This is an Acrobat error ("Initialization of the rasterizer module failed.") but it is has never been reported before that I can see.
Let's start with the basics.
- What version of Acrobat Pro
- What system
- What printer
- Does it happen with other printers?
- Does it happen with all files?

A family member set up my time capsule, promises that it is set up correctly but the light on the capsule isn't green, it is yellow, what does this mean?

A family member set up my time capsule and sayy it's workign correcly but the light on it isn't green, it is yellow...what does this mean?

If the Time Capsule is operating normally, the light will be green.
If the amber light is blinking, something is not adjusted correctly, or there may be an update available for the Time Capsule.
Do you have the device that was used to set up and configure the Time Capsule there? Is this a Mac? If yes, we need to know what operating sysem it is using.
If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
