Export the information to your Desktop. Stop syncing in iCloud, which should give you the 'On My Mac' option. Then import the information.

My MacBook Retina has been shutting off multiple times per day. It is beginning to happen more frequently. What can I do to locate the exact issue? My warranty has expired so I would like to get to the bottom of it without taking it in to an apple store.

I am currently learning how to do diagnostics on mac hardware but I am not a native mac user. It is unlikely that this is a software issue. Please, any input will be helpful.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

HOW to get to the point .....If you do not provide a context to your question, you are a very far distance away from the point.

I would like to pay off the remaining membership for the rest of the year. I have some extra money right now and would like to pay the remaining amount of my account. So that I do not have to worry about it and I know it is paid for the year. Showing that I am committed for the year. You should also have it so I can pay in full more years to come. Adobe does have some crazy polices and needs to think more about how to help its members.

I would like to do this also. The monthly transactions are inconvenient.

I would like to inquire about the schedule that is synchronized to iCal in CalDav protocol from our system. Schedule that is synchronized could be edited from the iPad or iPhone terminal, but I can no longer edit from iOS5.1. Can you tell me some tips?

If you can't restore from your backup you could try 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor to see if you could extract your notes from the backup.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod with lots of apps (free and paid). I would like to get a 4th generation Ipod but do not know if I will loose all my apps or not? Can any one tell me?

You will not lose your Apps. They can be reloaded onto your new iPod Touch.

HT203167 Got a new IPAD HAVE SOME MOVIES STILL IN THE OLD PAD BUT NOT TRANSFER OVER,PLUS WOULD LIKE TO KNOWN ABOUT THE CLOUDS SYSTEM

Hello Question got new I pads for xmas, down load music, some movies, but on the rental side have some thier, some are active and other in clouds would very much to finish this down load thank you

If they are rentals and you downloaded them directly on your old iPad then that is the only device that you can watch them on - rentals are one-time only downloads, and those that are downloaded directly on a device (as opposed to a computer's iTunes) can't be moved to another device or computer.

Recently got a MacBook Pro. When I use it for work purposes, I plug in a large screen and key board. When in this mode I would like to shut off the laptop screen or even close the lid. Is that possible?

RECENTLY GOT A mACKbOOK PRO. WHEN USING IT FOR WORK PURPOSES I PLUG IN A LARGE SCREEN AND KEYBOARD, THAT WORKS FINE. HOWEVER WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE LID ON THE LAPTOP, OR AT LEAST SHUT DOWN THE LAPTOP SCREEN WHILE USING THE LARGE SCREEN. IS THAT POSSIBLE?

I would like to turn off the CAUT ALM (caution alarm) feature

Does anyone know how to turn off the alarm that beep three times when you turn off the car to remind you to take off the face plate? I don't want to take off the face plate, and the beeping is driving me crazy! The manual say you can turn it off by setting CAUT ALM to OFF, but there is no CAUT ALM option in my settings. Anyone have any idea how to do this? I have Sony model MEX-GS600BT.

Hello,
This option only appears while the head unit is powered OFF.

Just bought a g30 and would like to turn off the date/time.

I cannot find how to turn off the date/time so it does not show in my movies. Lots of other stuff to learn, too.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you asking about turning off the data code (date/time) during playback? If yes, look on page 147 of the manual for instructions on how to turn it off during playback. Link to Canon Vixia HF G30 manual.

I would like to turn off the 'remember password' feature on mozilla.

hello rbrozene, you can disable that in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > security'' section.

I would like to turn off the automated "Tell me a story" app.

I need some guidance in turning off the "tell me a story app". While it's great for bedtime reading I have more stories that I will be able to read to my children. Now it's becoming an ink and paper waster.

Another quicker method is given in this Forum post.
Go to Methods of stopping a Scheduled Delivery Print App and try solution #1.

I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing issues related to location services settings. Ie; they are on but maps cannot determine location etc.

I recently experienced an issue on my ipad2 related to location services. While connected to a wifi network, I found that apps requiring location services would not work properly and I would receive a pop up notice asking me to turn on location services. For example, the maps app would display a pop up stating "cannot determine location". My NHL gamecenter app would not allow me to watch live feeds; a pop up advised me to turn on location services. In each case, location services was in fact on.
I checked my settings, shut down the apps, restarted them, shut down the iPad and rebooted it to no avail. The internet connection was working fine as best as I could determine. The wifi network was at a guest home and the router was recently replaced. I returned to my home wifi and everything worked fine. The next day, I returned to the guest Internet connection and everything seemed to work once again. However, while watching a NHL game, during the last seconds of an overtime shoot out, I lost video and it was attributed once again to location services being disabled. Of course I checked and nothing in my settings had been altered. I went to my iPhone (3GS) and pulled up the gamecenter app and was able to watch the end of the game( via wifi connection...same network).
So, I am puzzled as to what could be causing this problem. If anyone else is having similar issues, I would like to know as well as if there are any solutions or feedback from Apple regarding this type of problem.....Dave.

As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it. So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it. Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information. Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

I would like to "get off the cloud". How do I copy all my contacts, etc from where they are to "on my Mac"?
