My iMac updates at startup with the logo then once it's done it shuts down. So I restart it and it just restarts the update and shuts down again. Any one know why?
So I don't know why my iMac is doing this. It's a late 2009 model I believe. I was literally working perfectly fine a few minutes before this. I decided to reboot my Mac and this update started and I can't seem to get out of it. And I've rebooted several times and this update never seems to finish.
The most recent update as I usually update when the new ones come out..
None the less does anyone know why this is happening?
Okay. So the third or forth time resetting all those things didn't work. So I started up in safe mode. And currently it's spinning with a circle with the cross logo.
I have it running off an external hard drive. I think it's due to to that nhence the logo.
So I'll just let it sit he unless there's a way you know to make it pick up right away.

I have notes on my iphone 5s and for the second time in a month the notes disappear. any one know why?
Hey Webbrowser. I am sorry for the delayed response and that bluetooth and WiFi was giving your device some troubles. I hope that you had a nice vacation that you had a safe return.
Are you still having issues with WiFi and Bluetooth?
If so, please try resetting the network settings, http://vz.to/uLOEAI.
After you update the network settings, please update us with results and let us know if the WiFi and Bluetooth are now working.

Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks!
It really isn't a well thought out 'gesture' when a normal scroll action can result in an unwanted zoom but disabling SmartZoom wasn't an option for me—one of those with eyes that tire easily when reading very small text on a 27" display.
For a while I used command-+ and command-'-' to read small text but that isn't supported in some apps and for Safari it often leaves the browser in an less than perfect state when moving to the next page. I also tried option scroll to zoom the whole display but that was not desirable, either.
I finally settled on leaving SmartZoom enabled and remembering to double tap with one finger whenever the undesired zoom happens. It happens so often that the double tap is almost a reflex action for me. -
I have installed Lion over Snow Leopard and noticed a marked increase in the time it takes my time capsule/time machine to back up. It seems to spend a very long time indexing the back up. Does any one know why and more importantly is there a "fix"?
The first index with Lion takes a very long time. Could take over 10 hours. You just have to wait. You can see the progress by opening Console and entering backupd in the search box

My ipad isnt charging when em connecting it with my laptop any one knows why ?
My ipad isnt charging when em connecting it with my laptop any one knows why ?
The iPad pulls 10 Watts of power in order to charge the battery. The USB port on a laptop only puts out 2.5 watts (I may be off on this slightly but I know it is way less then 10) So yes you do need to use the 10 watt wall charger that comes with the iPad to charge it. You can use the 5 watt charger from an iPhone but the iPad will not get to 100% charge and it will really overheat the iPhone wall charger. Only do this in an emergency and keep a close eye on the charger as it will get REALLY REALLY HOT. I only do this when I don't have my iPad wall charger with me and only for about 15 minutes at a time. Then I let the charger cool down for about 15 minutes before I plug it back in.
There is talk that future laptops will have usb ports that can push 100 watts but that is a way down the road I am sure. -
Hi I'm just wondering does any one know why the email to reset ur password hasn't came to my email address its been 2 days and I have been trying since No Emails ? anyone know what happening ?
Either it ended up in a spam filter or it isn't being sent to that address. If you can't find it, use the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article to contact the iTunes Store staff.

When updating to itune 10.5 I get this error message ,older version of bonjour can not be removed, and older version of apple mobile support cannot be removed, any one know how to fix this.
1) The older version of Bonjour can not be removed. Contact your technical support group.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -
My home sharing on itunes is on but can't see it on my apple tv any one knows why...?
It will allow your homesharing, airplay, airprint, propreitary apple networking support, and other features. You should absolutely try to enable it. Some routers, even when the ports are opened, just don't work perfectly with Bonjour broadcasts. But you might be able to get it to work. Look to see if anybody else with your router has already figured this out in the eircom forums.

Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
See if that Helps...

Does anyone know why the airplay TV icon has moved from the recents bar, mine has now gone to the top of the screen. How do I get it back to the recents bar?
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.)
Cheers, Tom -
Safari froze and when i forced the log off the icon disappeared, does any one know why
Safari froze and after I did a force log off the icon disappeared, does any know why?
I have been scouring everywhere for a solution to a similar problem where the audio would drop out for a second or two ever 5 or so seconds - regardless of whether we were streaming content or using an iPad and Air Play.
I tried changing the audio channels on the ATV as suggested elsewhere and here - no luck.
Played with the settings on the Air port Express - no luck.
We swapped the ATV to a different tv and it worked fine.
Then played with the audio settings on the SONY Bravia - no luck.
Swapped the audio out on the ATV to play through the Air Port Express and plugged in the some headphones. NO AUDIO DROP OUTS!
My deduction - a problem with the HDMI cable. Borrowed a friend's cable - wasn't going to spend another $50+ if the cable wasn't the problem. And lo and behold the HDMI cable was the problem.
Only took 3 hours.
