My hand me down MPC keeps repeating the start up chime and nothing comes on and no buttons have any effect. Any ideas?
MY "hand me down" Mac Book Pro has decided that it will not boot up. I just get the first chime repeating over and over and none of the keys seem to have any effect at all. I cannot get into safe mode etc. My nearest Apple S tore is about 40 miles away. Any ideas out there?
Alanmeats,
Do you know the year of production (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
Never mind - it looks as if it's a mid-late 15" 2009.
It's sounds as if your problem is something mechanical - a bad drive, something, that will simply not allow the system to boot. Do you have the discs that originally came with the machine (gray discs)? If so, you can try booting from Disc One and see if you can boot into recovery mode. If not, you'll need to call Apple, with your serial number handy, and purchase a set of the machine-specific discs that came with the system (10.4.9 or 10.4.10 or perhaps even 10.5).
Then you can see if you've a hardware or system problem.

Installed Mavericks on my Mac 2 days ago, and now every time I start up the Mac a box appears iTunesDroper, asking me to enter my password. I enter the password it is accepted and then keeps repeating the same until I click on cancel
Kernel panics are usually hardware.
Hold down 'd' key and it should boot into Apple Hardware Test, or insert your OEM install DVD to do so.
No, we are mere users and mortals and usually you need to do some troubleshooting by trial and error and testing. Schedule an appointment.

my iPod keeps repeating the song
Garey,
Make sure the Repeat setting has not been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for more information.

Sometimes , when I open ITunes Radio, an ad saying that I'm listening to iTunes Radio over and over and I don't get to listen to music. Usually other stations work but select stations just keep repeating the same ad. Why is this?

hi, my iPad 2 startd tapping on its own. it keeps repeating the tap on the same spot. i can't seem to find any remedy for it except to switch off and on it again, and even that is a temporary fix. any ideas please?
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help I and the problem persists I would have a technician take a look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. -
When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.
Make sure you don't have Repeat turned on. While the song is playing, tap the screen (cover art) if necessary to bring up the extended music controls (see image below). Then tap the Repeat button until it turns white (which is off).

Does anyone ever get a human being when calling prepaid support at 888-294-6804? It tells me call volumes are higher then normal and I can stay on the line, but it just keeps repeating the menu options and eventually hangs up on me. That is really irritating!! I'd at least like the option to wait on hold. I guess I should have listened to the warnings about prepaid support before switching to prepaid last week.
The reason I'm calling support is I'd like to know when I will be getting the extra 500MB of data when signing up for auto pay. This is one of the reasons I switched to a 4G Allset plan. I signed up for auto pay promptly after setting up my online account when I switched from post paid to pre paid on Thursday July 17, 2014.I'm sorry you are having trouble reaching a representative, mhaider60. When calling our Prepaid department you can reach a representative using the following number and prompts: 888-294-6804 when prompted, select 4, 6, and 4 to reach a representative.

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.
Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad. -
I keep getting the Error "Adobe Muse has encountered an error and will now exit. Please report the last few actions you took leading up to this error to the Adobe Muse CC team. UIDs With Multiple Owners: ImageFrame owned by PagePageItem and BaseLink". I get this when I try and save and I am not sure what is causing it or, since i made several changes to the site, which actions it would have been. I am using the latest updated version of Muse. the 2014.3 I was able to publish site with changes but it did not save, so I have a web version different then what is saved. My published site is the most recent one but the saved version is one without latest changes. When I tried to merge it started updating the Assets and then showed that Error message and shutdown.
I believe you have already updated Muse version which includes fix for this issue , if not then please update Muse to latest version.
Thanks,
