My computer is completely frozen, after two days of installing yosemite

Two days ago I did the Yosemite update. I did the vault security encryption because it was suggested. After it, the login was taking longer than before, but the laptop was working fine. Then I shut down the computer from the initial page after it was asleep, and then I took it with me. When I turned it back on, all normal, the pages I was reading were there, and after a couple of hours of using it, it began to freeze, doing nothing but the horrible rainbow circle. I had to force quite. It restarted normally, but once I opened an application it just stayed loading there. Again forced shut. The same thing. The following time it just didn't even go into the desktop, just a blury background and the horrible rainbow. Nothing else happened. Sounds like Yosemite just screwed my computer, and now I have to wait until Monday for a technician. Does someone have a clue of what could've happened?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

So, my worst fear came true,
I've droped my ihpone in the toilet and it was off. It went off before was able to pick it up.
I've tried to dry it in rice and after two days it won't turn on , the only thing that does turn on is the flash.
I want to know if i should send it to repair or if i should forget it cause it doesn't worth.
Is there any tip?

"It is most likely fried. You can exchange it for an out of warranty replacement at an Apple Store."
how does this works ?

18.5GB ipod wont play any song Ive bought on iTunes after two days

I don't know what generation it is, but it says version 3.1.1 and model number M9282LL in the 'About' section
I have to plug my iPod into my machine every two days or it will start skipping through any song I've ever purchased on iTunes. The only songs that will play after that are what I've ripped from CDs. Even when there is nothing to update, I must plug the iPod in and let it run through the update routine. It then works fine for another 2 days. I've searched here and found nothing. Nobody Ive talked to in the mac stores have ever heard of this happening. Any ideas?
TIA

Once you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, if the problem still exists, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.
Authorization and Deauthorization.
How to create a new user account on a Mac.
How to restore the iPod.
How to recreate your iTunes library.
Apple are also working on the theory that this may have a connection with the iPod entering deep sleep and not playing purchased music afterward until you resync it again.

New G5 DEAD after two days

I have a DP 2.3 G5 and a 23" CD and it worked fine for two days. Was running 2.5 Gigs of RAM, working great. Yesterday while running iTunes and a few other things the 23" CD went to sleep, though the music continued to play. I moved my mighty mouse to wake the display and the machine froze, and the music stopped. Tried to restart with the power button, finally had to unplug, and not it won't start. Power button turns on, fans come on but I get no chime and the light ont he power button goes out (no blinking). No LED. I've removed the added RAM, same result. I've removed ALL RAM, and got the LED but no chime or beeping. I've reset the PMU, no change.
HELP

With only two days experience, it's hard to tell what is wrong, since there wasn't time to tell what was right!
First step is to run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that is on the Software Install DVD that came with your computer. Until you know that the hardware and any extras such as the additional RAM is working, we can't make much progress diagnosing what went wrong.
Be prepared for the AHT Extended Test to run several hours, for your fans to all run at full speed and for the display to stay lit the entire time. What a way to spend Thanksgiving! Start the test just before you leave for your holiday dinner and it should be done by the time you get back. Post your results and you'll get lots of advice, but you have to provide specifics of what is right before we can work on what went wrong.
P.S. Your G5 won't run with no RAM, so put back what it came with, but leave out the additional RAM, then run just the Quick Test to make sure the stock hardware is OK, then add your additional RAM and go for the Extended Test.

Why is on the show the bridge us version episode 9 the beetle not available yet after two days?

Why is the show The bridge us version episode 9 not available on iTunes two days after it's aired?

We are all just fellow users here and know no more than you do. All we could do would be to guess, and your guess is probably as good as ours. You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking, but the service reps may well not know either.

IPad did not require password for in app purchase after two days

I just made an in-app purchase on my iPad and was not prompted to enter my account password. I checked my settings and it was set to require a password after 15 minutes. The last time I entered my password to make a (free) purchase was two days ago! I've now disabled in app purchases as a precaution.
Is this a bug in iOS 8? It asked for a password every 15 minutes in iOS 7.

Even after disabling in app purchases (General > Restrictions) and setting the password requirement to 'immediately', I tried another in app purchase (for a smaller amount) and again it went straight through without asking for a password.

Scheduled shutdown problem reappeared after two days...

My computer had stopped shutting down at its scheduled time, I read all the advice I could find on this forum, and finally was successful in rescheduling the shut down by deleting the "com.apple.AutoWakeplist" file. It worked for two days. This morning I came in to find my computer was still on, for no apparent reason (no files needed to be saved, etc...). Does anyone have any idea as to what might be going on?

Hi limnicky,
Before I could respond to you, I had to go back and figure out what I had done to solve my problem. Hopefully this will help you out if you haven't already figured out a solution. Actually, I'm just repeating what others have shared with me...
Have you read this: Mac OS X 10.3: Retaining Energy Saver schedule preferences ?
In my case, that didn't help, so I deleted the "com.apple.AutoWakeplist" file, and that worked for me. As indicated in the post you responded to, I thought the problem had returned, but as I posted to NifflerX, it was my husband unexpectedly using my computer. (A solar eclipse is more common than him using the computer, so I didn't even think of it at first).
I, too, had trouble finding the plist. I think you might find it in your SystemConfiguration folder. Note that SystemConfiguration is written as one word if you look for it with the Finder.
I hope this helps. Our computers can sure be ornery sometimes!!
Cheers,
Linda

ITunes match after two days and still not workin

It has been two days since i started the match process. I am about 1/5th of the way through Itunes searching my library (the first step) and it doesn't get past that. I have firced quit, restarted and reinstalled itunes and still the same issue. This is a bumber since i have already been charged for the service but have not been able to use it.
Has any one else been through this? To have itunes match not get past the first step and just freeze?
Any and all help would be great!
Thanks,
Jeff

I have had the same problem. Here's my experince so far and the latest progress I've made:
- I have my music spread across my iPod (70Gb), MBP (small amount of music), and another Nano. Not all sync'd automatically, as I like diffeent stuff on different places. Most of it is music that I brought in to iTunes from my own CD collection, the rest is purchased via iTunes.
- If I leave my iPod plugged in while Match is running - it never, ever completes. Tried this over Christmas and left it 9as others have) for several days. Craps out every time. Even if left for days "apparently" doing something. It never gets beyond Step 1 of the match process, and tiehr spins forever, or ultimately craps out with an iTunes error number.
- When I disconnect all iPods - hey presto - it works. It completes steps 1,2,3 of the process. Of course, this means it's only doing the library that's on the MBP for now.
- My next step is to re-connect the iPods (one at a time) and see what happens. Will report back when I've tried this.

Very Strange- Mail changes all dates after two days

I have a very strange behavior:
Apple Mail changes the date-information of incoming and outgoing mails after about two days -
for the first two days it says "today" or "yesterday" after that it changes all dates to one single date (december 12.2009 and some to december 12.2010).
I just put in a new pram battery, so this cannot be the problem.
what the heck is this?

Hi Noe, do you have anything in Rules that is set to happen after 2 days?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

Book project (80 page) after two days lost the layout! Help

Working on a project for two days then the layout just gone. The collection is still there. Is there anyway to get it back?
If not its a bummer! Maybe you can build in a backup function. 10 hours i will never get back!

I just went in again to replicate the issue and discovered something else.
I started by creating a new collection as above and used the 1 photo per page preset.
Auto Layout placed the photos in the new pages
** select one image and Right Click to remove photo.>>> all photos disappeared, but blank pages remained.
(This behaviour doesn't replicate if the cell padding has not been altered. If using the vanilla Blurb preset, this does not occur.)
Now I manually added photo #1 to page 1 and all the photos came back with the exception of the one I had removed.
*** 2nd Test
-Went to Library Module, selected Collections and created a new collection
-Selected images and moved them to new collection manually (grab and drop into new collection)
-Went to new collection
-Selected Book Module
-Previous book displayed. Selected Clear Book.
-Now I have a blank cover and a blank page.
-Selected page 1
-Modified cell padding (a) link all = 100 then (b) unlink all, bottom = 165
-grab and drop one image to page 1
-Copy (Cntrl-Shift-C) and Paste (Cntrl-Shift-V) new blank pages
-Select Auto Layout and all images from filmstrip move correctly to blank pages.
-Right Click one image and remove photo>>> all images disappear but blank pages remain
-Replace image #1 on page #1 and all but the removed photo reappear.
-Save book inside the collection that produced it.
-Go to different book inside a different collection
-Come back to test book and all pages show the same image. Can't fix.
I think that captures all my steps. I'm really interested in seeing this module work properly, it's a very welcome feature.

After two days Ipad is completely dead does not charge or turn on

Purchased new ipad with retina display and was working fine til tried to turn on today and nothing. does not charge or turn on HELP!!!

If you did run the battery totally down, it can take at least half an hour after you plug it in before it shows any signs of life.
ANd in trying to recharge it, are you plugging it into the wall with its supplied charger? If you're trying via USB then it may take hours and hours before it shows any sign of charging. Most USB ports don't put out enough power to meet the iPad's power requirements.
