Message app in my IPad 2 has never worked and still doesn't with the new IOS8. Cannot send either text or audio recording messages. Have checked Settings to no avail. Neither "Send" nor "microphone " buttons are active.

See above.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 and when I go to sort the photos in order (from oldest date) I keep getting the message "Photoshop Elements 7.0 has stopped working" and then the program closes. Sometimes, eventually it has sorted as I request but today this has been rejected over 15 times. What is wrong?

Try the licensing service update:

EDIT I see that maybe you did (is that the patch you mean? ); if so, try the other suggestions there.

New iMac has never chimed at startup? Is this the new Startup?

New iMac has never chimed at startup? Is this the new Startup? Im curious becuase my machine runs perfectly, and I know Apple takes some pride in its StartUp Chime.

Not normal,
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

You're talking about the dock?
To check on that, go to System Preferences > Dock > indicate your preference.
I can get iTunes up, and safari, but i don't know how
Not sure what you mean - if you can "get it up" - does that mean you can launch it? What do you not know?

I work on two screens. With the new updates, my computer will not automatically open a new window on the second screen.

I work on two screens. With the new updates we cannot automatically open a new window on the second screen, but have to move them over manually. Not a huge problem, but because of the nature of the work, it gets tedious.

Hi Annowriter,
Thank you for your question, I understand that it is annoying to have to move a new window to the second screen. Since it opens in the active screen this may have been a stored preference, however it is not the default.
There is an add on called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master] that customizes settings like this. Check it out.

Hey DannyHTDB,
Thanks for the question. If you follow steps 1, 4, then 5 in the iPod troubleshooting assistant, that will most likely resolve the issue:

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
It doesn't sound like you "changed" your Apple ID, sounds like you created a new one. Bad idea. All content bought with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. The ID that bought the content is the only ID that can update the content. Apple does not merge IDs not does Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

I have tried downloading Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 3 times now. It downloads fine. Then after I try to open it and it loads the screen but then a box pops up and says "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and then makes me close the program.

I need help please. Exactly what my title says. It makes me close the program whenever I join/try to get on Photoshop CC 2014 and says it has "stopped working."

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Firefox 16.0.2 is the last version that works on an Intel Mac with the OS X 10.5 operating system.
* http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.2/mac/
Another possibility is to install the Firefox 10.0.12esr (BuildID=20130103094221) version that has more security updates, but misses features present in Firefox 16 (BuildID=20121024073032).

How do I uninstall firefox 4 and use the previous version. I do lots of work related tasks that require quick time to work and it doesn't with ff4.o.

Quick time crashes and I have lost almost all sounds/video sound capability with the new ff4.0. I want to remove it and replace it with the previous version until the bugs are fixed.

Maybe wait another day because Firefox 5.0 will be released on June 21 and maybe that version works better.
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall and other security software.
See also:
* [[No sound in Firefox]]
* [[Video or audio does not play]]
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer. 
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level. 
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound. 
Also check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.

How do I look at my favorites in the Maps app with the new iOS8 software?

I can't find any button that leads to my Favorites/Bookmarks in the Maps app. There used to be an icon or something that I could click on but I don't see anything anymore since I got the new iOS8 software. Please help!

Hi luvs2dance900,
In iOS 8 you find your favorite locations by using the search bar. If you tap that, the Favorites section will come up and you can then tap it and see your favorites and select from them. See this page -
Find places - iPhone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

As the crash report says - your outdated video card driver is crashing. You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website (AMD/ATI in this case).

How do I lock an app on my iPad so my students can't close it with the home button

How do I lock an app on my iPad so my students can't close the app by pressing the home button?

Settings > General > Acessibility > Guided Access. Enter the app, and triple click the home button. Just tap Guided Access and it's locked in the app. You can even draw on areas of the screen that you don't want them to tap. It's amazing, isn't it ?
