Subject: Can you help me with a problem I'm having with adobe 9.4?
I have seen this same problem a number of times in this forum; it seems to happen only on Vista and Windows 7.
It also seems to happen only to people who are not very experienced computer users, and these things are very difficult to diagnose via forum posts.
I have in the past always ended up recommending to uninstall Adobe Reader, and find an alternate PDF Reader.

Have you tried logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then logging back in and seeing if that 'refreshes' the account on it ?
If that doesn't work then you can contact iTunes support via this page (these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I keep being asked for my pop.mail password for my user address. Can you help please.

I keep being asked for my pop.mail password and I do not know what is meant. Can you help. I cannot receive or send messages on thunderbird. You say you have sent a reset message to me but it has not come through. I am searching messages on my ipad. I am on the verge of abandoning Thunderbird and continuing to use my ipad and yahoo account. Thank you for your help in advance.

Thunderbird has nothing to do with administering your email password and is not going to send you anything. I am not even sure where you requested that something be sent to you unless it is for the password to this forum which has nothing to do with your email.
Your email provider would have a link to reset your password on their email help page.
I would go to your providers web mail page and see if your username and password work thee. if they do then you might have incorrect server settings causing the password error.

Lion keep crashing my computer 3 or 4 times a day

Since i download the lion system to my computer it keeps freezing all the time.

Have the same problem. Whenever I leave my computer for some time (say to have lunch) and come back to it, I initially find that the browser I happen to have been using (Chrome of Firefox) does not respond. I find I can access other programs that happen to be open but then they become unresponsive. Eventually the whole computer becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit my MacBook Pro (latest version with 8mb memory).

My MacBook Pro (mid 2009) keeps crashing and rebooting itself a few times a day. Below is the error report. Any suggestions on why this keeps happening?

Those models took 1066 MHz memory - but you have 1333Mhz...
I'd test with the original or other correct spec. memory - and/or test with Apple Hardware Test or other memory testing software - like Rember.

Hey guys can anyone help me my FCP just keeps crashing everytime i try and open a project or import anyhthing please can someone help me

i wish it wpould let me insert an image but it wont VERY FRUSTRATED right now !!!!!!

you might have a corrupt project and/or event file. Can you temporarily move your events/projects out of the "Final Cut Events"/"Final Cut Projects" folders elsewhere so FCPX doesn't see them? (do this with FCPX closed). Then start over with creating a brand new event/project and try again.
If that works, start adding back your event/project folders one by one (or half at a time if you want to be quicker) to try and find the problematic event/project.

I have an older version of OSX ,I want to update versions but it keeps telling me I need OSX 10.9 yet i cannot find it can you help

I wish to update my macbook book. every time I try to update the software it asks for OS X 10.9
where do I find this version Of OSX

You first must upgrade to Snow Leopard. And, your computer must meet the requirements for both Snow Leopard and Mavericks.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

My adobe keeps crashing

Hi my name is Jamie. I've been having this problem for a while now and I cant figure out a solution. I just want to start out saying that i can play my video games on max setting with no lag whatsoever and the sound is perfect but when i go to watch a youtube video it skips repetedly everytime. So much where their no point to even watch it. It is the sound and the video. Most of the time adobe will just crash to so im guessing their is somethin wrong with the compatibility between flash player and somthing on my computer. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time.

Hi Jamie,
What browser and operating system are you using? Can you also post your Flash Player version?

Hi guys, a game I'm trying to play keeps unexpectedly closing every time I try to play. When I try reopening, the same thing keeps popping up so I don't really know how to fix that problem. Can you help?

Help: G5 Crashes, Locks Up, Freezes, 3/4 Times A Day!

I have Powermac G5 1.6 ppc, and it crashes 3 to 4 or 5 times a day. When it crashes, if ther is any music playing in itunes, it will skip, and then you can't move the mouse, or even hit force quit.
I have to turn it on and off with power button.
I have done new install, disk repair, virus scans, and even checked crash log. When the computer restarts it acts as if there was never a crash.
I also isolated all programs to see if it was a program, and it would still lock up.
I am getting really ticked about this, because this is my 2nd apple computer. Not sure why I keep giving them all my hard earned cash.

virus scans
What are you using? Anti-virus software is usually a big cause.
Apple changes something and it breaks the AV, or the AV software itself gets exploited. Norton and McAfee both have been avenues for root level exploits in Mac's.
My advise is to do this:
1: backup and c boot from the Tiger install disk (check the disk if it's smudged, see if you can get it exchanged)
2: Select Disk utility, Erase w/Zero and come back later.
(zeroing rewrites the bad sector map and other things, making better writes, usually only needed once per drive unless you have a security issue or potentially damaged the drive during handling)
3: Install Tiger and combo update to 10.4.7 w/security update
4: Don't install AV or any other software, just see if the KP's (kernel panicks) continue.
5: If everything is fine then move on with iLife '06
6: If everything is fine then move on with apps that don't require a admin password to install. Go on like that until the cause shows itself again.
7: Clone your boot drive through out this process, this way you can easily "rewind" to a state before the change occured.
If you still have problems with just a basic OS install, then you need to start looking at a hardware, firmware issue.
Here's how to clone your boot drive.

You can search Macupdate.com for "Rember". It's a GUI front for "Memtest" which you can easily test your RAM for defects.
