IMac windows constantly moving and changing by themselves

My iMac is possessed. Windows are constantly opening and closing and changing size by them selves. Brightness goes up and down by itself. iTunes opens by itself. I can't select individual files in finder on the rare moments everything does stop moving. I updated software, plugged the computer, router, disconnected peripherals. I disabled the iPad from automatically connecting with the iMac. I changed to a wired mouse and turned off the key pad, still does it. Our iPad was doing it too, a few months ago and would play random music at odd times, really loud. Disconnecting everything worked at that time, but not now. Help!!

To be clear, when I say 'save', I mean select the 'Move To' Message menu pick. Further, the issue in question is the appearance (or not ) of an additional pick on the Message menu, to wit, Move to {folder name} Again ... And in all cases, in all tests, the folder named in the Move To process was the same one.
There is only one other user - my wife, who is afraid to even empty the trash. I did the test in that account as well, and it functioned the same as on my own account. On to the suggested Safe mode test.
Prior to shutting down, I had sent myself a test message, retrieved the mail, selected that message in the Inbox, pulled down the Message menu, and noted that the 'again' message pick was not there. I left that message in the Inbox and restarted in Safe mode. Then I selected the leftover message, pulled down the Message menu, and the 'again' pick was not there. I left the message in the Inbox.
Then I restarted normally, did the same sequence, and the 'again' pick was still missing. Hmmm. I sent myself a second test message, went through the process again, saving first the leftover message (no 'again' pick showed), and then the new second message (the 'again' pick had returned). So one thing I discovered was that the 'again' pick does not survive a restart, for whatever that's worth.
Then, realizing that there was another case, I started all over again. In Safe mode I created, sent, retrieved, and saved two messages in that one session. The behavior was as I have described - no 'again' pick while saving the first, 'again' reappeared for the second save.

That is because the app you are attempting to update is not owned by your Apple ID. You will have to delete the app and re-purchase it with your own ID, or continue to use your cousin's password to update it.

I have moved and changed ISP from Brighthouse to Verizon. I am receiving my icloud emails, but the senders are receiving messages that they are undeliverable. I can't find the cause or solution to the problem. Any thoughts?

PS. I have deleted Roadrunner accounts, and reset new email account.

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

After installing the latest updates, my iMac will constantly crash and reboot.

After installing the latest updates for Mac OS X yesterday, my iMac constantly crashes and reboots. It will only boot properly in safe mode. Even when starting with command+R for recovery the kernel crashes. I have had this iMac for about 3 years and never had an issue until last night, when this problem started and it seems to have gotten worse over night. I already tried the <option><command><R><P>, but it seems that that made it worse as well.

Time capsule backup failure after moving and changing internet access

I bought a 1GB time capsule to backup my MacBook Pro using time machine and also archived files so I would have these when I had to move across country to work temporarily. The time capsule was working fine in my home after the original backup through an ATT DSL, but I then moved across country and set up a Comcast cable DSL and now Time machine records under Backing up: Preparing and the latest backup records failure. Is there a way of fixing this without erasing the entire Time Capsule and then taking 2-3 days of backing up again and will I have access to these when I return to my original home with the capsule and MacBook Pro. I have tried resetting all the backup modes and options.

Linda,
According to the logs, you are going to need to initiate a backup, and then let it do it's thing uninterrupted, perhaps all day of over night. Time Machine needs to do a "deep traversal". See this article.
*_Time Machine May Report "Preparing..." For a Long Time_*
First, it’s good to determine WHY Time Machine is "Preparing..." for an extended period of time. Examining the Console logs during this event can reveal what is actually going on behind the scenes. It may be “Preparing…” for a genuinely good reason. How long is 'too long' to wait for Time Machine to finish "Preparing..."? Some times, "Preparing..." is required to perform the normal housekeeping that Time Machine does periodically. Other times, it really is "stuck" and never proceeds after many hours.
*”Deep Traversal” (Recent Crash / Forced Restart / System Update / Extended Period Between Backups)*
According to the following KB article it can sometimes take quite a long time if Time Machine begins a “deep traversal” and has to compare data inventories. This may apply to your situation, particularly if many Gigs of data are involved. [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1516]
You see, Time Machine *+does not+* ordinarily perform file-by-file comparisons to determine what has changed and thus determine what needs to be backed up. Rather, Time Machine relies on FSEvents notifications. This is a log that the system uses to keep track of changes to directories. Rather than scan tens of thousands of files for changes each time, Time Machine simply looks at this log and narrows its’ scan to only the directories that have experienced changes since the last backup. Otherwise, Time Machine would have to be running constantly just to catch every change on its own and thus eat up precious CPU.
Every event that FSEvents records has its’ own ID which includes a time stamp. At the end of every backup, Time Machine stores the last event ID that it processes. When the next backup is initiated, Time Machine looks at this stored ID and determines that it only needs to backup events that have occurred after the time stamp on this last event ID.
If, due to a system crash, power failure, forced restart, or some other major system event, Time Machine cannot find this last event ID in the system logs then it will consider the FSEvents log “untrustable” and it will go into what’s called “deep traversal”. The Console logs may report +“Event store UUIDs don't match”.+ In this event, Time Machine will by-pass the system log entirely and perform its’ own file-by-file comparison to determine what has changed since its’ last backup. Obviously, if tens or hundreds of Gigs are involved, then this process can take quite some time and should be allowed to proceed.
Additionally, it appears that if Time Machine has to go back too far to find the last event ID, then it will give up and simply go into “deep traversal” and do the file-by-file scan on its’ own. This can occur if Time Machine has not been able to perform its’ hourly backups for some time, as is the case for users who only backup once a week or so. This is also the case with major Mac OS system updates that change thousands of files at one time. There are simply too many events logged by the system for Time Machine to bother looking for the last known event ID.
Cheers!

Fixing bluetooth in windows 8.1 and changing the way windows update works

Hello, this is a message for Microsoft, can you please fix the Bluetooth in the setting in Windows 8.1. Because I can not connect my devices on it to play music. Also, my second suggestion would be for Windows update. First of all,
Windows tells me that it will install update automatically but It's not true. Everyday I check to see if there is an update on the pc. So change the way windows update works because It is a bit confusing. In other words, try to do like windows 7 if you
can, or if not It is not a big deal. But a least try to have a solution for this issue and the Bluetooth also.
Thank you.

Text Problems, When Previewed It Has Moved And Changed Font

Hi, i have written boxes of text using layers, and on all of
my pages, the font (apple chancery) and font size are changed when
previewed in Safari. Im new to dreamweaver so havent got a clue of
the problem, but illl prosume its basic. Can anyone help?!
Ill give you the code if that makes things easier to
understand, please help!
Thanks very much, Ashley

> Hi, i have written boxes of text using layers
This is trouble right from the start. See
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layer-overlap.asp
to see why I say that.
While you are learning, your best bet would be to avoid
layers altogether
and concentrate on using tables (not layout mode!) for
placement on the
page.
Also, you need to use only fonts/font families that are 'web
safe', i.e.,
those that you can be certain everyone has installed on their
system. Apple
Chancery is not on the list -

I recently moved and changed my email address.

I changed my Apple ID to reflect my new address, but now I am unable to open my access to the iCloud from my Win 8 laptop. I did not notice anything until I upgraded to Win 8.1 (what a pain!) and my iCloud address book in Outlook was no longer accessible.
I tried to log on to iCloud using my new ID not recognised, so I tried the old ID and pw no joy. I then asked to reset my old password, of course the reset could not be sent to my old email so I used the security question route the first stumbling block was it did not accept my birthdate (possibly because the ID did not exist)
I created a 2nd Apple ID and still I cannot oepn iCloud to reset the ID and PW.
I do not see any posts referring to Windows machines where you can only log on to the iCloud by means of the iCloud app which does not know mw any more!
Anyone help?
Michael

On a device, go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete to disconnect from the account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices but does delete data on the current device). Then enter a different icloud ID to log into a different account. The data in that account will then sync down to the device.

Strange issue, colors degrade and change by themselves!

hi all,
never encountered this issue before, and have gotten no where researching it. using illustrator cs4 on a mac.
i set my document to RGB. i choose colors from the drop down menus at the top left of the screen. later on (a day or so, with multiple saves in between) the colors i have chosen all start to turn dark and grayish. even the color swatches in the drop down menu all start to change to dark gray tones.
does anybody have any idea whats going on? below is the before and after of the color drop down.
thanks!

The color settings are not set to defaults as the default for RGB is sRGB. You had to have changed the RGB profile to something like a paper profile
as is the case in this screenshot does the color palette in the screenshot remind you of anything yu have experienced?
I can easily produce the similar results you see.

I moved and change my email address so now with my new email address all the songs singed except my apps what should I do without buying all my adds again. Could you help me please in order for me of not buying all my apps again. Thank you I

Is any way that I can tranfer and updetes all my apps in to my computer and devices? Also I would like to delite completly the old email address so I could update all my devices and computer please?

1) Create a new CSS document and save as mylinks.css. Paste the following code in Code View:
/* CSS Document */
/**link styles**/
a:link {color: red; text-decoration: none;}
a:visited {color: silver; text-decoration: none;}
a:hover {color: yellow; text-decoration: underline;}
a:active, a:focus {color: green}
2) Create a new HTML document and save as links.html. Paste this code in Code View between the <body> and </body> tags:
<ul>
<li><a href="somelink.html">Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="somelink.html">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="somelink.html">Item 3</a></li>
<li><a href="somelink.html">Item 4</a></li>
</ul>
3) Link a stylesheet to your HTML document: In the CSS Properties Pane you will see a little link icon to attach a stylesheet.
Within your HTML page you should see a link to your stylesheet between the <head> and </head> tags.
<link href="mylinks.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

I am unable to authorize my new Mac version of ADE to my new email address. It only allows authorization to the old one and with that one it says there is a conflict.
What should I do?
Can I get the old authorization removed so that I can use the new one?

Copied my iTunes music from my Windows 7 computer to my Windows 8 computer and my MP3 songs will not play on my Windows 8 computer?

How to get iTunes to play my MP3 files in Windows 8. They played in Windows7.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !
