Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer was updated. Help pls

I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer performed all software updates, and I even tried calling Apple Support. They just told me to keep trying different hdmi cables and see if anything pops up. Does anybody know what the problem is? My HDMI cable is from "rocketfish" also my display port is too.

You may have the screen refresh rate set higher than the TV is generally able to track reliably. It may be able to get there most times, but occasionally loses sync because it is out of its nominal range.
I suggest you sit down with the manual for the TV and find out what resolutions at what refresh rates it intends to support through VGA, and make sure your screen settings are near (or below) those limits.

For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem. How do I stop that from happening?

For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem. How do I stop that from happening? I keep having to delete my library!

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

HT4910 I have an iPhone 3GS, for some strange reasons only 45 contact are getting backed up on icloud instead of all contacts

I have an iPhone 3GS, for some strange reasons only 45 contact are getting backed up on icloud instead of all the contacts.
Can you please help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

For some strange reason, the BBC icon got on a lot of my bookmarks so that when I try to open them, they take me to BBC and not to the actual bookmark. Help!

Several of the bookmarks for some reason had their icons changed to BBC. I didn't do it. Therefore when I try to use them, I get taken to the BBC website. What can I do to correct this?
Thanks

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Rendering of Css Layers OUT on DW for some strange reason

For some reason the rendering of the Layers in DW has blow
out. I don't think anything changed in the css and it was
displaying correctly. I did DUMP my config file for DW to see if it
would resolve, but no.
See this screen shot:
Text
Someone said this is a known issue but I searched extensively
here on adobe and I didnt' see it. Using the keywords Render DW css
layers.
Any advice is appreciated.

What does the page look like when viewed in a browser?
Which version of DW are you using ?
If the site is messed up when viewing in a browser, it may be
best to link
to a live example of the page, that way people can check the
code to see if
there's anything wrong that may be causing the issue.

[HELP!] My charger isn't working for some reason.

Hey everyone!
I am having a problem with my charger. I can't quite clarify if it's broken or not, but I know that there is something wrong with my computer or the charger itself. As a mac user, I've gone through 2 chargers so far. I'm currently on my second one because the old one broke. I've noticed that they had the exact same issues.
Here's the story:
First, the charger would be perfectly fine for about... a month or half a month.
Then, the connecter (metal part) would start to overheat and the light that tells us when the computer is charging or full battery wouldn't work properly. Sometimes it would get all mixed up. For example, when it's 100% it's orange and when it's 88% it's green. Or sometimes it wouldn't even charge at all.
I know that some of us have the sign "Not Charging" at the upper-right hand corner of our tool bar. That would occur too, in my experience. This would probably go on for about as long as my computer or charger gives up.
Finally, I have to go down to the apple store to see what's going on with my jacked up charger.
Last time, they said that it was the charger at fault.
I have no idea if it's my charger or just my computer, but I'm a bit suspicious of my macbook's inner battery source though.
Now my laptop is doing the exact same thing now as it was before. I'm so frustrated, but I never really cared about it until now; when it doesn't work.
>:O
This computer was a hand-me-down from my mother who got this computer from my father. He payed WAY too much for this computer and I don't want to haveit damaged; internally or externally.
I still have my warrenty and I plan on checking it out at the apple store as soon as I come back from my vacation.
I'm extremely anxious about this situation because I do online schooling and I'm in an area that has no apple store. At all.
Please help me with this mess!

It is allways helpful to indicate what model MBP you have and the OSX you are using.
There is the posibility of a bad connection in the MBP. Examine the electrical input port for dirt and debris. also check to see if there is any discoloration of the contacts.
Open System Profiler/Information and post this from your MBP. Please make certain that the power adapter is connected.
Ciao.

HT2452 I have an iMac with iCloud. For some strange reason, yesterday, my apple id password quit working on my iCloud account. I went through the iforgot process of resetting it. The reset worked on mu iPhone, and iPad but won't work on iMac

HELP! I cannot sign in with new password on Imac but the password works on Ipad and iphone through icloud.... Just started eysterday after the status problem listed on the i cloud page.

I am having the same problem, starting today (12/15). Here's a more complete description of my problem.
About two weeks ago, I changed the email address associated with my Apple ID. The old address had been taken over by spammers, so it had to go. I followed the procedure in Manage My Apple ID, and everything seemed fine until today.
I am running Yosemite, 10.10.1 on an elderly Macbook Pro (2009)
I got a message saying I couldn't access iCloud and needed to log in in System Preferences. I tried logging in with my then correct password. After 3 tries I was locked out and told to use iForgot to reset my password. I used my recovery key and reset my password "successfully". My new password allows me to log into iCloud.com, iTunes on my Mac and on my iPhone 6, I am able to use my iCloud keychain on both devices, and I can log into Manage My Apple ID with the new password. I was also able to use the new password to log into iCloud on my iPhone. Access to iCloud drive from Pages appears to be working on my iPhone, but not on my Mac. I was also able to sign into the App Store on the Mac.
However, in System Preferences, I cannot log into iCloud and I cannot log into my iCloud mail account (both appear to use the same login). I get a message saying I have been blocked for security reasons and I need to reset my password. This is exactly the state I was in when I went and changed my password so it appears that the change didn't get communicated to system preferences. Without iCloud access, my apps that use iCloud for storage and/or syncing with iPhone apps are of limited usefulness. This may be key to the problem or at least a clue: System Preferences still thinks my Apple ID uses the old email address not the one it was changed to. The only way I know to change the address is through Manage My Apple ID
I tried rebooting by doing a full shutdown and restart, but it did not help. I also tried cursing at my Macbook but that did not help either.
I can use iCloud.com for mail and Documents since it recognizes my password. But this is at best a temporary work around. I'm off to check other sources for help. I'll report back when I know more.

IPhoto 6 can't find my library for some strange reason...

Hello everyone,
I can't explain why or how it happened. One moment I was looking at my screen with the background that's been there forever. I plug in my external hard drive and the background on my screen turns in a simple mac blue design of some sort. My dock is reset to "not hide'.
I then open my iphoto (6) app. and my library is gone. Long time ago I moved my library to an external hard drive and it has always found it. Now it can't. I did a search on the net and saw that you can "chose" your library from the file list in iphoto, but I guess my version only has an "import library" option which is not what I am looking for. I am assuming that, 1) when importing, those photos imported are duplicated and saved on my internal hard drive and 2) will not place my pictures in albums (Yes, I did import and then deleted it because of that reason). I have 7,000 plus pictures and really don't want to re-create albums again.
I hope there is a "hey stupid, do this simple thing" answer to my question.

To select a Library:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Regards
TD

For some strange reason, my iMac & Macbook Pro are no longer connecting via the network. Has anyone a solution please?

I recently rebooted the iMac and reinstalled Mavericks, running, 10.9.4 on both this and the Pro. Now when I try to send files from one to the other I get Connection Failed. I've tried rebooting the router, I've also done diagnostics re network on both. Each can 'see' the other in that they are on the list but simply won't communicate. Help would be appreciated as it's a bit of a bug bear using flash drives to transfer files across.
Thanks.
(The Macbook Pro is a 17" Mid 2009, if that makes any difference)

For some strange reason, maps don't render when using Find My iPhone.

Printing doesn't work for some inexplicable reason, completely baffled

Okay, so I have an HP Photosmart C4180 printer which I cannot for the life of me get to work on my new desktop. The exact same config works on my laptop. One of several things will invariably go wrong. It might:
1. Print only a small initial section of the page, leave the rest blank.
2. Print gibberish.
3. Give an error like "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" and then not recognize the printer at all.
4. Queue the print job indefinitely without any errors, never printing. When this happens it will either say it is still processing or that it is actually printing (though it is not).
The one thing it will never do is print correctly. Also, I can't get it to work in Windows either (again, same Windows setup works on my laptop, although that installation has long since been deleted). I can't figure out why the hardware in my desktop would be an issue. This is a USB printer, and all my other USB devices work perfectly.
I have no idea what to do now. I've googled to no end. I've fiddled with it, recompiled all the related packages, read documentation and deleted my config to start over. I've looked for errors but the only messages I get are no help, although I am admittedly not very good at figuring out which logs to look at or how to get the most useful debug info out of a program.
Even if you don't think you can solve the issue, I'd appreciate any points in the right direction. Please?

Sounds like you've probably already looked but the CUPS article in the wiki led me through setting up a printer without any problems. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS
The first section describes how to troubleshoot CUPS and printing problems.
I've also found a few other posts and links that may help.

When I merge one project with another, Aperture 3 randomly scrambles the photos of the project being merged, instead of keeping them in the chronological order that I shot them in. What can I do to correct this?

The photos have just been dumped into a new home and need to be told how to be arranged. Go to the top left of the browser view for the merged project and select the desired sort order from the drop-down and they'll all sort according to that setting.
