I have an even weirder problem. I skype every night with a person nearby, and the call mac-to-mac is dropped every night at exactly the same hour, to the minute. I have to close skype and restart it and call again and then it works without problems.
I have my imac connected to hi-speed cable.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

You should post in Skype forums.

I have an ipod that is synced with an old PC, and now I have a Mac and I want the ipod to sync the photos on it with the Itunes on my Mac, but it says it was synced with another ipod. How can I accomplish this?

Is it the same user/iTunes account or...?
Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new.

I've been working with documents in pages and recently downloaded word for mac. i open the pages documents and they appear to be corrupt. at least, a lot of the font is now in weird boxed pictures. what do i do?

I've been working with documents in Pages and recently downloaded Word for Mac. Upon opening Pages documents with Pages, the documents appear corrupt. Much of the font has been replaced with boxed little pictures - yet they are identified as times new roman. What do I do?

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

When I get an email with a pic in and I go to reply a box drops Dow and asks "save photo" when I click on that it "seems" like nothing happens, bot are they being automatically saved someplace, where?

If photos are saved they go to the Camera Roll in the Photos App.

Using iTunes to put my CD collection on my computer and then to my iphone5, I have an older Optiplex with 40 Gb internal and an external 1.5Tb drive. Question is can I get itunes to point to the 1.5 Tb drive to store my music, and if so how?

Looks like I solved my own problem by going to itunes, preferences, advanced, media folder location.

I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

How can I file share with another person if both of us are using Mac operating systems? Do we need to use a third party file sharing system or does apple have this capability?

How can I file share with another personif both of us are using Mac operating systems (one of us using a Mac laptop and the other using iMac). Our intention is to have a working document that can be changed by both parties over time and both parties will have visibility to the others changes.

Use SugarSync

I am clearing through my phone for more memory. I want to delete some personal photos and videos of family forever, how can i do this ?. I do not want the photos or videos to be found anywhere.

I am using a Iphone 5c device on software update IOS 7.1.2. I want to delete some personal videos and photos of my family and friends and myself. I am worried that if i delete them they may still be on my itunes account or icloud account. I do not want them on any of my accounts or files anywhere, I would like them gone off of everything. How can i do this?
Thanks in advance.

The answer is not simple. First, are these images in the Camera Roll or the Photos app? Next, do you have Photo Stream enabled? Also, do you back up your phone to your computer or to iCloud, or to both?
If you have Photo Stream enabled then the images have already been distributed to anyone who is subscribed. Nothing that I can think of that you can do about that. The rest of this post assumes that Photo Stream was never turned on.
If the images are in your Camera Roll you can delete them from the Camera app. The won't go anywhere, however, they will still be in your backups.
If you back up to your computer using iTunes you can go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, and delete your backups. After deleting all of them, and also after you have deleted the images from the Camera Roll, do a new backup.
After deleting the backups do a Secure Delete of deleted files on your computer. On a Mac you can do this with Disk Utility; have it erase deleted files. On Windows you need to get a 3rd party "shredder" app.
If you back up to iCloud on the phone go to Settings/iCloud - Storage & backup - Manage Storage. Tap on each backup and delete it.
If you have photos in the Photos app that are NOT in the Camera Roll album you need to connect your phone to iTunes, click on the Photos tab, uncheck all of them that you don't want (or uncheck Sync Photos if you want all of them gone), then sync.
Then repeat all of the steps above.

My iphone 5 was stolen last night. It is offline and I am trying to track it. When I use Icloud, it just tells me the phone is offline, which is not helpful at all.

My iphone5 was stolen last night. It is offline and I am trying to track it. Icloud states that it will show a grey circle if it is offline and a green one if it is online. It is offline and it will display nothing except a picture of a phone indicating that it is offline. Not helpful at all. Any suggestions on how to locate the phone or at least the losers who stole it from my pocketbook.

Actually it is very helpful. First it tells you that two possible scenarios happened.
1. iphone ran out of battery.
2. iphone was stolen by someone who knows how to disable connection to service (just by turning it off or otherwise)
Second is more likely if you went to icloud.com fast enough. In that case we pretty soon are going to see another person here asking Apple to unlock "legitimately" purchased phone from eBay or pawn shop. And in that case recovery of your phone is very unlikely. So go report it to police to increase chances of recovery, just in case they turn up in legit pawn shop and move on. Good luck.

Backup file appears with a PC icon and won't open in mac os 9.2

Hi, I have a green imac powerpc at home and need to open some old files backed up on an external hard disk.
The external hard disk is fat32 and was formatted by a pc.
unfortunately the files I need appear as PC files with a blue PC icon, but I'm sure they are Ready, Set & Go files created
on mac os 9.2. Any help is appreciated.

There is a classic discussion.

I shall try to find a friend with Tiger this weekend, hope it helps.
Fyi: The Mac OS X system needs to be Tiger or newer.
You may try this. I tried it long ago, but kind of forget the details.
Be sure to format the usb stick on a Mac with a Mac OS file system HFS+.
Create several files with Ready, Set & Go files created. Some empty. Some with data. etc.
Copy these to the usb stick with a Mac Format.
Copy to a Tiger or newer system.
Create a dos formated usb stick.
Copy good files to the dos usb stick. This splits the files into a data and resource fork. This is a Tiger innovation.
Now you need to replace the data fork with the other data fork. The data fork has the normal name. The resource fork starts with ._
You will have to see hidden files.
turn off hidden.
Copy the files back to to a usb HFS+ formated flash drive. This puts the files back together.
I suggest you bring along a coy of Ready, Set & Go. If your friend has classic installed, You can test there. Or, bring you computer along. You may need to do this more than once.

The finder comes right back.

Mac OS files may contain two parts: Data & Resource. On HFS+ disks you see only one file. On Dos disks, you see two files. One file is visible. One is hidden. Turns out I have classic installed on my system. The finder application contains data & resource forks.

Problem with FX5200 Personal Cinema and DirectX 9 - serial reboots

I'm hoping someone here can help, because I'm pretty much at the end of my rope here. Here are my system specs:
HARDWARE
========
Motherboard: MSI KT6V-LSR
RAM: 2x 512MB Infineon PC3200 DDR
CPU: Athlon XP2500+
Video: MSI FX5200 Personal Cinema 128MB
HDD: Maxtor 160GB
CDROM: MSI DVD/CDRW Combo
SOFTWARE
========
Windows XP Home SP1
All available Windows Updates
Norton SystemWorks 2003
MSI bundled drivers and software
MSIDVD
MSI Personal Cinema
MSI Live Update 3
The problem is, I get serial reboots (computer boots to desktop, then reboots within a few seconds) unless I start in safe mode, or use MSConfig to disable all startup items. Enabling even a single startup item, no matter what it is (NVCPL, any of the Norton tasks, etc) results in serial reboots.
Troubleshooting steps taken so far:
=======================
Replace RAM - (single 512 or 2x512) no effect
Replace motherboard (same model) - no effect
Replace video card (same model) - no effect
Replace CPU (same model) - no effect
Replace power supply (w/ 450W) - no effect
Update all drivers, MBD BIOS, VGA BIOS, DVD/CDRW BIOS w/ Live Update 3 - no effect
Install Windows XP but don't install any Windows Updates - computer functions normally
Install DirectX 9.0b - serial reboots
Roll back to DirectX 8.1 - computer functions normally
Install DirectX 9.0a - serial reboots
Replace video card (GeForce MX440) - computer functions normally
Throughout this whole process, Windows XP was reinstalled clean about five times - just to be sure the issue wasn't caused by file corruption in the install.
Anyone have any suggestions? Do I have to go with a different video card? Or is there something obvious I've missed?
-Cameron

Try to put another video card on the computer.
Try the video card on another machine.
Try the lastest driver (there will be a new driver from http://www.nvidia.com tomorrow or may be a few days later).
Try the lastest motherboard bios.
Install the monitor driver.
Install WinXP SP1

Why do I need to sign in with my adobe id and go through 3 pages of profile info every day?

It seems every time I attampt to log into adobe, or somehow call up and adobe web page from an adobe creative cloud app, I am asked to sign in...and then the form acts as if this were me creating an account...requesting 3 pages of info to create my profile, that is already filled in. Having to go through this it seems at least once a day is becoming tiresome.
I am using the chrome browser in windows 7 (64).
Also, it seems My Adobe is quite broken for me if I do not go through this process manually even if it appears that I am indeed signed in. Which copmpletely messes up my access to support, among other problems.

Bought a $25 itunes gift card from 7-11 and it was invalid, cashier was too busy on the phone with a personal friend and didn't give me a receipt, please help!

I bought a $25 iTunes gift card from the 7-11 in Windsor Locks, CT earlier this afternoon around 6:45 P.M, and when I tried to activate it, the code was invalid, and when I called the 7-11 to let them know what happened, the foreign man that answered the phone started yelling at me when I told him the cashier was the too busy on the phone with a friend to give me a receipt for my purchases. Considering that my card didn't work and the guy yelled at me when I was trying to make him aware of the situation, it made me wonder how many other people has that convenience store scammed into buying invalid gift cards? If they are scamming people, is there a way for me to report the store to Apple for using the company to gain fraudulent dollars? Is there a way I can get my money back?
