I tried to import 2 photos from an email to iphoto. The photos now appear in iphoto as the latest imports, However, when I try to close iphoto or log off of my computer, I get a message box that says, " Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."
I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.

when turn imessage on there is a message saying waiting for activation but it doesnt change anybody knows why?
Hi guys,
I keep getting "waiting for activation" on my iMessage. I can only send/receive iMessage from my email address, NOT my phone number.
I have done all kind of fixing suggestions that I can find online, but nothing works so far.
- Date & time set as automatic (I don't know why this matter, but mine was already set as automatic from the begining)
- Reset network setting
- Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8.
- Restore to factory setting (from back up & as new iPhone)
- Turning on/off iMessage & facetime
- Sign out/in of apple ID
- Change location from apple ID
- Hard reset/reboot
And many others.
...me too. I'm in Portugal having the same issue!! Hopefuly Apple will give us a solution, shortly... -

I have been using Firefox for months, but now when I click on the icon I cannot open a page. I tried downloading again but still get tnothing.
I can get on Explore just fine but I want to get back to using Mozilla Firefox.Nothing is worse than IE.
You can try the following:
Save your bookmarks.html in
%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\
Delete the whole content of the profiles-directory
Then create a new profile and start FF again. Now you can import your bookmarks.
Otherwise look here:

Imessage using email and not phone number
I have an iphone 5 updated to the most recent software iOS 8.1.2. I just switched from the iphone 4 to the iphone 5 yesterday. Right now under my imessages is says waiting for activation and it also will not let me use my phone number for imessages, it just uses my email. Sometimes my number shows up but it is greyed out and I cant select it, other times it is not even there. I have tried turning Imessage & facetime on and off to see if that would help, but no difference. I have also signed in and out of my apple ID and I have done a system Restore, and still nothing. Can someone please tell me what to do?
Hi lundq1aj,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be frustrating when you are trying to activate iMessage but it never activates. Please use the attached article below for information on troubleshooting and resolving this issue.
If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
When your phone number shows up under your Apple ID, it should be grayed out with a checkmark next to it.
Have a great day,

Can't get past "waiting for activation" when setting up iMessaging, Help??
I am currently living in Kenya and using my AT&T iPhone 4 to communicate with my family back home in the States over iMessage and FaceTime (through WiFi exclusively). All of the sudden, I turned on my phone and iMessaging had ceased to function as had FaceTime. Upon trying to turn them on and off, I have been stuck with the 'waiting for activation' message and it doesn't go away!
I am tried resetting the date and time, resetting the network, logging in and out of Apple ID, going in and out of airplane mode, resetting my phone, resetting network settings.
Going to the Apple Store really isn't a viable option, nor is calling them.
If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem please let me know!!
Thank you very much!haleyfromme wrote:
I tried what you suggested @fromsouth and still no luck! I am going to have to go back to online chatting with Apple I think.
If you already tried to sign out of imessage, change your imessage password, Turn it on and sign in with email address only and leave it activating overnight. Then I need to wish you good luck chatting with Apple. -
Please help. I can not call anyone and i can not text anyone that does not have an iPhone and I really want to use my new phone so please help me.

When I went to adjust the brightness on my iphone, the screen went black. I have tried everything I can think of and have read online to try....resetting the phone, turning it off/on, charging the phone, and restoring the phone. I can see the "slide to unlock" page and the "enter passcode" page. When I enter the passcode, the screen goes dark again. I can't even answer calls. What should I do now?
If no change after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

I have just installed snow leopard on my Mac Pro (v10.5.8) on trying to shut down on the apple menu it doesn't completely turn off computer, I just get a blank screen but the curser is still live and I have to hold down the power button to force a shut down.
Try quitting all applications before shutting down. One may be hanging and preventing a normal shutdown.

My IPad2 constantly locks up and I have to turn off in order to get any updates
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
In terms of Safari you can try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History). -
My iMessage on my iPhone wasn't working, so I turned it off under Settings and then tried to turn it back on again. It hasn't turned back on yet. It says, "waiting for activation.". Any ideas?
Turn the Message App off from the Task Bar, reboot and try again.

If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T. When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.
If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected? -
I had my iPhone 5c stolen this Tuesday afternoon while I was at the beach. Immediately after I noticed it missing I called the phone and it was off. I called the phone continuously later that night but it remained off. I did not use the Find my iPhone app until the following morning, however.
The phone has said offline for 2 days now. I'm wondering...is it reasonable to assume that eventually the phone will get turned back on and I will get a location? Or do thieves have ways around this? I do have a passcode on my phone. Once the phone is turned on to the locked screen, is it connected to the internet?
I filed a police report but the police seem to be pretty disinterested in helping me recover my phone. I literally got this thing on Monday and had it stolen Tuesday the next day. I was so excited about my new phone so I realize now I was texting like a little girl out there and probably was an easy target. Never bringing anything of value to the beach again, thats for sure.i m also put passcode in my iphone...but i dont know that how i know that my passcode is crack by someone???and same as police is not interested to find out it..
i want ma iphone backkk...........
