Monterey Bay keeps asking me to fill out a questionnaire even though I have not visited the site--harassmentf!
For days now every time I exit Firefox a questionnaire from Monterey Bay shows up on my screen. I don't want to fill it out. I want it to go away!
Then it simply was NOT Brand New. Doesn't matter what the box looked like when you got it or if you went through the setup pages when you first turned it on. If it is registered to some other Apple ID then someone else had originally registered it and locked it to there ID.
Type in the serial number of the system into this page.

And see when it was originally registered.
Then send it back to Amazon as Used.

So I bought a brand new macbook from Amazon, and it came factory sealed (Not my first time buying a macbook, last one I bought was from Apple directly) but after I got this, I put in my apple I.D. and it told me there were updates available. I told it to go ahead and update, and it updated about half of the list, but the essential stuff (pages, notes, etc) it says "This software was installed using another Apple I.D. Please logon with that I.D. to install the software." I'm a bit baffled by this as it is a brand new mac and so I don't know why anyone else's I.D. would be logged into this mac. I'm not really worried about it though, as I don't really need to update my pages, etc, as I like what I have, but I'd love for this stupid "updates availble" popup to stop popping up every freaking day!!!
Anyone have any suggestions on finding out how to either gain access to update, or get rid of that "other" i.d. that is somehow associated with my brand new macbook?
I'm running OSX 10.9 if that is of any consequence.

I have reported this problem from the beginning of the MBP release back in February.
They have not solved it during any of my repairs.
I have found the following helps, but does not solve:
1. Disconnecting and reconnecting the magsafe power adapter
2. Resetting your PMU
3. Locking your Energy settings by clicking the lock in the lower left hand corner
It seems to be a software bug that is somehow potentially related to the screen saver. When you shut your screen saver off... it sometimes disappears. -
why does it keep asking me to install adobe flash player even after i have installed it once? Please help me.
No idea. What did the folks on the Adobe forums say when you posted there, since it's Adobe's software you're having trouble with?

I am running out of hard drive space so I clear 32GB of space at midnight and went to bed.
When I wokle up I had no space left even though I had not used the computer, the system.lg is FULL of stuff and I have no HD space anymore?
What's eating it up?WORD TO THE WISE
the OmniDiskSweeper was a very helpful download, because it laid out the HD and all the files on it in a "largest to smallest" fashion. When I did this I found that I had an inordinate amount of memory being taken up in my Mail Data folder, this did not make much sense so when I dug deeper I found that a 59MB scanned file that I had emailed 3 weeks ago had not been delivered, so the computer was retrying every minute and saving the history of what it was doing, so it was saving the 59MB file as well as the log about the 59MB file and hence for the last 3 weeks it's been chewing away at HD space recording the activity of the undeliverable file.
I deleted the Data record folders and removed the yahoo account from My Mail and reinstalled it with proper IMAP information and the HD is secure and holding at 331GB of free space. Like it ought to be.
I love the fact that if something very strange is happpening on your MAC there is a REASON....find it and fix it, and move on. In the PC world you would reboot 20 times, call some guy in India who will ony try to sell you a new subscription or warranty for $99 and never solve anything.
I am at rest once more, thanks for the tip -

Every time i press enter, my keyboard keeps typing backslash even though i am not holding the backslash key. Help.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Keeps asking me to accept Terms and conditions even though I've already agreed to them
Since the new update everytime it keeps repeatdly asking me to accept new terms and conditions on my iphone, although I've already agreed to them. I can't update any of my apps.
Based on the number of threads showing up on this topic, there appears to be a problem on Apple's side. You are just going to have to try later. It won't last forever....

CS6 Creative Suite keeps asking to 'continue trial' and 'serial number' even though I own it.
Hello-
My office owns CS6 Creative Suite.
I needed to get After Effects CC for work so we downloaded Creative Cloud and then bought/downloaded After Effects CC onto my computer.
However- once we did this, my CS6 started asking to "continue trial" or for a "serial number"- but these are already owned applications. I cannot even get into them any more because of this.
This is a PC.
Does anyone know the solution to this?Cloud takes over https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1584746 may help

My family uses a single lap-top as our home computer and several of us have i-pods that we like to synch, using I-tunes. Although we've tried to create separate I-tune accounts, our i-tunes playlists are getting wiped out when one of us deletes songs on our I-pod and it seems as though I-tunes is not distinguishing our distinct accounts and all i-pods are being synched to reflect the latest i-pod anyone makes on their respective account. It appears as though our distinct I-tune accounts are not being loaded on our lap-top when we sign in and unfortunately, when we're in I-tunes, there is nothing to indicate what account is on the screen. For all the glowing appraisals apple-related products usually receive, we are finding i-tunes and its interface with our respective i-pods to be a very, very frustrating experience.
Can anyone shed some light on this for a family of non-techies? Thx
Pegger64You need to create separate Windows user accounts if you want to seperate the behaviour of iTunes for each user. That also means separate iTunes libraries for each user.
Windows is a multi-user operating system but you are not using it properly. iTunes is not a multi-user application. No application is. You can't expect it to treat different users differently when they are all using the same computer user account.

I have yet to find an email server that does not work with Mail.app. Your solution will be to configure its ports and send/receive protocol according to the email server's requirements.
Try the Zimbra support forums. I found this excerpt from a relevant post:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/46221-mac-mail-app-dont-work-outside-company. html
in which the following ports were suggested
ports 25, 465, and/or 487 to send mail.
port 143/993 to retrieve mail over IMAP -
Sometimes when I open my MacBook Pro, it restores its RAM, as if it has run out of battery, even though it has not run out of battery and it has been charging. Why does this happen, and should it be happening?
It's similar to hybernation mode in Windows.
If you put your laptop to sleep, after X amount of hours it will move to the "deeper" sleep level (save memory to disk and shut down...), to save up battery.
Otherwise if you left your laptop asleep in the evening, you could wake up to a dead battery. Not a great surprise when you in hurry to leave the house with your laptop...
