MBP Retina 15" Unused for 2 weeks now slow, unresponsive?
Hi all,
Hoping someone can help. I've been away on vacaction for 2 weeks - before I left I shut down my MBP retina and left it in a drawer.
Upon returning today it booted up normally, then immediately
any chance it is trying to backup to a TimeMachine drive? That can make things slow? If it is the icon in the menu bar will be turning.
What about indexing the drive? This would be indicated by the magnifying glass for Spotlight pulsing in the menu bar (very far right).

WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?
Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

I have been receiving this message for 3 weeks now," iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." I've tried uninstalling and even deleting my quicktime player and then installing it again. I've also tried uninstalling and deleting my itunes and then redownloading it again. I have also made sure that both are up to date, but still it gives me that **** error message. I cant listen to any of my songs or any new songs, please help.

I recently ordered an unlocked iphone 4s from the apple store online on Nov. 24th. However, I have yet to receive a shipment notification email. The status of my order has been on processing items for a week now. Does anyone know how long it generally takes to receive shipment notification?

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter? -
I recorded my friend singing a song, using Audio Memos app... I can't figure out how to burn it to a CD though?? Please HELP!! I've been stuck on this for a week now!!

TS3989 photos are stuck in the download position for 2 weeks now
the apple store gave me a new phone and my photos are stuck in the download position for 2 weeks now. how can i get them to download
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
Cheers, Tom -
I did the last software upgrade for iphoto, It goes thru a 9 step process. Mine is stock at step 5 99% complete. It has been that way for 1 week now. I have in excess of 62 k pictures. Program is not stock. Any advice?
force quit, Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

I have 14 updates that have been "stuck" updating for a week now. I have tried to restart update several times. I have tried toe restart ipad several times. I have the latest ios software udate. I have tried to pause and restart the apps individually. any ideas????
1. Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
2. Connect iTune; and Check for available download (under Store). When download is completed, sync to iPad.

I keep rec. an error message every time I try to do a plugin check. It says "error finding service" and asks me to try again later. I have been trying for a couple weeks now and still get the same error. I clicked on "help" and was brought to a page that told me I am using an "insecure version" of Firefox....(LOL "INsecure...like it's scared, not sure what to do?? Shouldn't that be UNsecure?) Anyway, I thought I had the most recent version but maybe not so I clicked on the link to update Firefox. That took me to a page that told me all about how Firefox automatically updates unless I opt for it NOT to do this (I have not opted out of this feature) etc etc etc.....and there is no button to click to update now. I am unable to rectify this problem and I think some of the plugins ARE out of date but because of the error message I keep getting I can't check on them or update them. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Iv'e had my mac for 2 weeks safari was working great until I changed to a wire less super hub. Safari will not let me open & log into a web site I go on a lot. My ipad & windows lap top will on the same network. Apple have said it's the DNS setting my cable provider say it's not it's a problem with my mac. Iv'e phoned apple lots of times same with cable provider Iv'e tried a few things it has not helped solve the problem. I'm now advised to return my mac to the shop for a check. Has anyone else had this problem I would appreciate any help because I'm going round in circles.
Adding a couple of DNS numbers sometimes helps:
System Preferences>Network, select your wifi or ethernet network on the left and click on the 'advanced' button and then the DNS tab. On the left side of the window make a note of any DNS numbers listed so that you can re-instate them if necessary and then click on the '+" button bottom left of the window. Type 8.8.8.8 and click the + again and type 8.8.4.4 save the settings and try the website again.
BTW, I have the same problem with Firefox not letting me input my password in secure sites. I did find a workround in the network settings in Firefpx prefs, but it didn't stick so I reverted to using Chrome as alternative browser. No problems with that so long as you don't mind Google looking over your shoulder
