My iMac G5 has suddenly started to run slowly and I don't know how to fix it. I've run utilities which says it's working fine.
My iMac G5 has suddenly started running very slow. I've already gone through all the tricks I can think of, including reinstalling Snow Leopard and running a hardware test, which tells me my computer is OK, which it most definitely is not. Every little thing I try to do causes the beach ball to spend for 30 to 60 seconds. I'm typing this on my older computer, which is running fine. It would take me an hour to do this on the iMac that is affected.
First, you do not have an iMac G5 - they can't run Snow Leopard.
Have you checked the available disc space? For smooth running you need at least 5GB and preferably nearer 20GB free space.
Look at the bottom of any Finder window and see what it says is available.

My iPhone 4S has been frozen in the loading screen I don't know how to fix it:( my lock screen button doesn't work
Without a working lock screen button, you'll probably have to wait for the battery to go dead. Once it doesn't wake up by pressing the home button you can plug it into a charger and it will eventually reboot.

I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom. We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it. Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.
Does the app now use iCloud, do you use iCloud and do the two of you use the same account on iCloud?
Just a guess. -
Can anyone help me? my ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but it won't run anything that uses wifi like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it
You didn't indicate if it ever worked. If it NEVER did, the problem could be caused by a firewall in the router. For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
You will need administrative access to the router. If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again. If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again. Repeat as required. -

Start up disk full and I don't know how to look at what is filling it up
Hi, I have 2 questions.
My start up disk is full and I deleted a whole bunch of stuff and it didn't help. How can I see what is taking up all the space? I only have stuff in Documents (nothing in pictures, movies, desktop) and it isn't alot of stuff. I have lots of applications but I assume that has nothing to do with the start up disk.
Second question. Can I use a generic cable to connect my laptop to my Apple Studio monitor or do I need the apple one?Hi
First, and forgive me if it's obvious, but empty the trash.
Second, if you have some space left (ie, not literally 0 MB!), download and install OmniDiskSweeper. It will scan your drive and tell you where the large files are. The Applications folder is indeed part of the startup disk, so you could be taking up room there, but it's likelier to be either forgotten user files or possibly abnormally large log files resulting from a system problem.
If you have either GarageBand or iDVD, and don't use them, you can delete their large support files (themes for iDVD, audio loops for GarageBand). The GarageBand files are in /Library/Application Support/GarageBand (about 2GB), and the iDVD files are in /Library/Application Support/iDVD (about 1GB).

My iMac hard drive is full, and I don't know how to fix it.
My iMac hard drive is full. Approximately 495GB of "Other" is crushing it. I saw some threads online refer to this issue ... something to do with ASL files. Can anyone help?
First try to download OmniDiskSweeper then launch that to sweep the drive this will give you information on the size of your files and folders. This will give you a starting point as to what to do with your large files you can move them to an external hard drive or delete them within the program. Note: Be careful of the items you delete.

Firefox is not recognizing that I have logged into a web page with user name and password. It is stuck on the log in page. Where do I change the Firefox settings so it recognizes the log in and password and lets me into the site? I have had this user name and password for several months so I know it works.

Help?
This may occur if you are connected to the Internet and iTunes is trying to connect to the iTunes Store and fails for some unknown reason.
Try this:
Quit iTunes and disconnect completely from the Internet.
IF you have an iPhone (iPod etc), open iTunes. Sync the device.
Re-enable your Internet connection.
Quit iTunes.
Open iTunes again.
If this does not work, try completely uninstalling iTunes, then reinstall it according to these instructions:

As above. I think it's my fault as I don't know how to quit music, I think all I am doing is pausing?
1. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right
2. Check the volume and mute settings

Itunes (11.1.4) has suddenly started turning itself on and off. Whats going on?
iTunes has suddenly started turning itself on and off on my iMac (OS 10.9.1). Happens with streaming radio and with music on my own playlists. When it kept stopping during streaming radio, I tried a playlist and this kept freezing (going off) as well. So I turned iTunes off but did not close the application. Now it keeps turning itself on, playing fragments. What is going on?
Doing a bonjour repair using "uninstall program" on windows 7 resolved this for me, the AirPlay icon came back in iTunes and Home sharing showed up on my Apple Tv 3 again. :-)

I have an iMac using OS X 10.4.11. Beginning several days ago, all incoming emails have, after the usual email header and before the message appears, one to two pages of technical data (e.g., Dkim-Signature, Domainkey-Signature, Content-Transfer-Encoding, etc.). This is similar and more complex that the info one receives when an undeliverable email bounces back. I don't know where this stuff comes from, or how it came, and I don't know how to get rid of it. Any ideas? I'm something of a newbie to computers (um, what's a Tag?).
That just sounds like the mail headers. Most people don't know (or care) about them so they're usually hidden.
Check Mail -> Preferences -> Viewing -> Show header detail
I'm guessing it's set to 'All'. Switch it to 'Default' or None as you prefer. -
Hi every body. I have some problem with my i pad mini's keyboard . After i opened the message icon , suddenly the shape of my keybord has been chenged . I don't know how to fix it? I was wondering if you'd mind helping me.thanks
That's so you can text with your thumbs. If it does' tog back together automatically put your finger on the tiny typewriter and you should get a pop up to reconnect keyboard. Or more easily put a finger on each one and pop them together.

Apply transparent fade to photo edges
I have found that I can apply a fade to transparent using the Gradient tool, and dragging it in to the picture. Works great, but I can only apply fade to one side of the photo. If I try to do the other side of the photo, the previous fade is undone.
