My ibook keeps popping at me!

Hi everyone! I have a dual usb iBook that has recently started popping every now and again - not a click but a pop!
I also have problems with it freezing, especially when I'm using my usb wireless dongle. I have tried a clean reinstall, taking everything back to the original CDs but it still keeps happening.
I've been reading threads about clicking HDDs and the Archive and Install thing (sorry, not being very technical here) but I'm not sure that's what I need to do. Please help

Julie, I must caution you--we may not know what the popping sound is, but we don't know what it isn't, either. If you have not instituted a backup strategy in case of hard drive failure, I would strongly encourage you to do so asap. Some ideas can be found at Jeff Geering's helpsite, and also from Dr. Smoke's XLab and also in this discussion thread here.
Good luck!
M.

Message Keeps Popping Up

Running OS X 10.9.5, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
I keep getting a pop-up message saying 'Downloading Item'. It keeps popping up, even after I click OK. I have force quit iBooks and this hasn't stopped it from coming back.

Hello, Below are some tips to better assist you.
Please be aware you want to try and use accessories that state they work with the iPhone. Please try not to use any accessories that are not designed for iPhone.
1. Ensure that the accessory your connecting to and the iPhone itself both have clean connectors. Usually a small fine haired brush will assist with sweeping and or brushing out any small dust or other particles.
If you do not have access to some sort of soft brush, Try blowing out any possible particles in a side ways motion so it will blow the particles out sideways vs further into the connectors.
Now connect and see what happens.
2. If needed disconnect the power to the accessory, and power down the iPhone as well. Hold down the Sleep/Lock button on iPhone till you see a slide to power off. Wait 5 min, Now power iPhone on, Then the accessory and connect.
3. Reboot iPhone, Hold down the Home button & Sleep/Lock button together, Once you see a silver Apple logo release and allow iPhone OS to reboot. Now try accessory again
4. Toggle Airplane Mode on if needed while using iPhone with accessory, Settings-Airplane Mode ON and turn OFF when done.
5. If needed Restore and or Update the iPhone. Please ensure all Data you want back on the iPhone is on the PC/Mac before restoring as all data will be erased and can not be re-synced.

Login on mail keeps popping up

I noticed since I did an upgrade that apple sends you through the software update, i have my mail open and doing something online it keeps popping up to login. It asks for the password and does it every few min. sometimes I have to do it 2x in a row. I never had the issue before. I have an ibook g4 with leopard. Is there a way to stop this annoying pop up to give the password?

Had the same problem and spent a LOT of frustrating time on ATT tech support until I got help from Jameela (sp?) at Level 2 support. Her name may make you assume she from one of their call centers in Mumbai, but she is one of the few native-English-speakers you'll get at ATT (she sounded like a "sista"), and she was awesome! The solution to the problem was verify all my email sub-accounts to each other and most importantly to the main account. Below is the email she sent me to do this:
_+ *Verify this email address*+_
_+* You recently added a new email address to your att.net account, or initiated verification of an existing email address. To verify that you own this email address, simply click on the link below. *+_
_+* Your email address was added to the att.net ID starting with 'oc4'. If this att.net ID does not belong to you, or you did not recently add your email address to this att.net ID, you may permanently stop receiving messages for this att.net ID at this email address. Please let us know. *+_
_+* Verifying your email address ensures that you can securely retrieve your account information if your password is lost or stolen. You must verify your email address before you can use it on AT&T services that require an email address. *+_
_+* For your security, please keep your email address information up-to-date. If this information changes, you can always update it by signing in to your att.net account and changing it from the "My Account" area. *+_
_+*Verify "[email protected]"*+_
_+* If you can't click the sign in button, you can verify your email address by copying and pasting (or typing) the following address into your browser: *+_
_+* https://edit.yahoo.com/commchannel/verify?.intl=us&p=IDjwZHyiZghCLgMg11HTz9d0Lx4dB5rAkpyT*+

_+* Not your account?*+_
_+* If you did not create this account, click here*+_
_+*Si vous n’êtes pas le créateur de ce compte, cliquez ici*+_
_+*Si no creaste esta cuenta, haz clic aquí*+_
All I had to do was click on the link, sign in to ATT webmail, and click the tab to verify. Voila!! I stopped getting the annoying error messages. If you call ATT, don't waste your time with the first operator who tries to "help" you. All they ever do is have you go over your email account settings with them, as if the settings that have worked for months or years have spontaneously changed themselves. Ask for Level 2 support and get them to help you verify the accounts to each other and to your main account. Hope this helps. This has been irritating me on and off for YEARS. I pray it's really over...

Adobe Reader new downloads keep popping up. What is it and do I have to pay for it and how can it h

Hi all............I was reading my sat nav cd on my computer and 'adobe Reader new downloads' keeps popping up. When I asked a friend do I need this they just say 'no' but I am curious and like to learn. What is 'Adobe' Reader OR 'Acrobat'. You see I'm trying to learn how to use the mp3 plaver on my sat nav and download updates for it but there's never anything to say 'how much' or 'free' and there is so much to read. Anyway does anyone know if these downloads are free? and what do they do? All help welcome as I don't understand at all what it is? Oh and thanks in advance :)

Can we go back about the new downloads thing... what is the message
(exact text please) and when does it come up? If it takes you to a
web site, what is the web address (you can copy and paste this from
the browser). I am worried that this may be more sinister than it
seems.

I changed my apple password now i cloud sign in box keeps popping up on my I pad 2 and will not take my password

I changed my apple password from my i phone so when I tried to get on on my Ipad 2, the sign into icloud keeps popping up! It will not go away after entering the password, it doesnt say it's wrong it just keeps popping up! I have had no prolems with my iphone or my mac! I tried updating and that didnt help! Someone please help!!

The reason it won't authenticate your password is because it isn't connected to wifi. Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, the release and wait for it to restart. As soon as it restarts, quickly go to Settings>Wi-Fi and connect it before it starts prompting you. Once it's connected to wifi, enter your password when prompted and it should take it this time.

Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

I have been trying to update my apps on my iphone4 and a message keeps popping up saying "please verify you account" i try to varify my account and it keeps saying that my security code is "invalid" i have the card in my hand and i know its right

Might be an address formatting issue with your iTunes account records. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.

My iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this

my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??

All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID.

When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free. Any help you could offer would be great (-:

All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

Please help! My CS6 won't open and Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew CS Cloud subscription.

Hi there.
I recently canceled my CS Cloud subscription about 3 weeks ago and went back to using CS6. I was using CS6 Creative Suite without a problem until 2 days ago. Now my CS6 programs (AI, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat) won't open. Instead the Adobe Application Manager keeps popping up to renew the subscription, see below insert.
I have chatted with Adobe customer support numerous times but when it comes to transferring me to their technical support, the chat mysteriously becomes unavailable. The only time the transfer went through, I was advised to remove CS6 Creative Suite using Cleaner Tool and reinstall, which I did but my CS6 still does not open and the AAM keeps popping up giving me the same message to renew the subscription. The AI/Photohop icons just keep bouncing up and down without opening while the AAM pops up.
What can I do to stop this annoying AAM from popping up and open my CS6? I just want my CS6 to open up again. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Please help!

Uninstall... run the Cleaner... Restart your computer... Reinstall CS6

Shut down window keeps popping up...

This issue keeps me busy since Snow Leopard already, and I thought it's done with a new Mac (Early MBP this year, migrated via Time machine) or Lion (installed right after launch) - but still there:
My 15' MBP (early this year) is connected to a 30 inch Cinema Display (one of the last versions available) via an Apple cable ($99).
Now I disconnect my MBP from the Cinema and work mobile, and not every time, but very often, I come back and connect it back to the Cinema, the "shut down" screen keeps popping up. If i hit cancel, it comes back in seconds. There is no alogorithm to get it going...at some point it just stops. This was partly ok with Snow Leopard, since this screen could have been just moved to a spare part of the screen and I could continue working...but under Lion, you cannot mve it away and work - since the shut down window is dominant and keeps getting activated. I have attached a screenshot of the shut down window so everyone knows what I am talking about.
How can I get rid of the issue? It's not a hardware issue, since I had 2 Macbook pros with the same issue...seems to be a software issue.
Can you help?
Thanks, Markus

New message window keeps popping up

The new message window keeps popping up without prompting, usually twice in a row. I notice
this particularly when I first open the Mail program. The funny thing is that you can't actually type in any text in the new message window. Any ideas???

It seemed to work itself out after several days.

Can anyone please tell me why the "Do you want to restart your computer now" window keeps popping up every two minutes? Please help! Its driving me nuts?

Hi all.
I need some help. I have recently installed a new Hard Drive in my Macbook and have re-installed Snow Leopard. Since doing so there have been a few things that haven't been quite the same.
1) Certain buttons decided they didnt want to work anymore. These being the Space Bar, the Tab key, all four arrow keys, Caps lock, Volume up, Eject, and a few others.
After putting up with this for a couple of weeks and looking at numerous forums, they all of a sudden came back to life (Hence why I'm actually able to type this message) THEN, they packed up again. Then started again, then packed again, and so on. They seem to have a mind of their own.
Please... does anyone know whats going on? Is it a hardware prob? Is it something to do with the way Ive installed the Hard Drive? Have I forgotten to do something?
2) Ever since my buttons initially came back to life, the "Do you want to restart you computer?" window keeps popping up every couple of minutes.
It's the window that says "Restart, Sleep, Cancel, Shut Down"
It's driving me insane and I can't help but think that the two probs are related.
If anyone out there has any ideas at all, they would be most welcome.
Many thanks in advance
MadDogSnaps

Have you tried reinstalling the original drive? Same symptoms with it?
