  • My mail program frequently asks for passwords that I have provided and saved many times.  I am running Snow Leopard and have run the Keychain repair a few times to no avail.  Is there a fix for this or do I have to find another email program?

    I am running Snow Leopard and have run the Keychain repair a few times to no avail.
    Is there a fix for this or do I have to find another email program?

    This is frequent, not just occasionally.  All cancel does is stop the email from coming through until I provide the password.
    I thought about it being on the provider's end but it never happened when I was using Entourage, I just don't particularly like that program.
    I don't understand why this problem has gone on so long without Apple doing something to fix it but I will continue to look for alternatives to the Apple Mail program.  If I find a good one I will let all know through avenue.
    Thanks again to all who tried to help.

    Looking up definitions on the screen using Apple Dictionary? What application? Using shift+command+4, capture what you are referring to, and then use the camera icon in this posting toolbar to include it in your response.

  • My Google Gears does not anymore since I upgraded to 4.0. Is there a fix for this? I desperately need my offline gmail back.

    Since upgraded to 4.0 OSX my Google Gears is not compatible. I need offline Gmail and that has gone bye bye. Is there any fix forthcoming so I can have offline access to my email and calendar?

    Sorry, Google has stopped development of the Gears plug-in, and will not update it to support newer browsers like Firefox 4. They have announced plans to eventually migrate their sites from Gears to web standards like HTML5, but they haven't completed that work yet:

    If you want offline access to your Gmail account, without using an older browser just for Gears support, you could try using an IMAP mail reader like Mozilla Thunderbird:

  • A tab continuously pops up when I hit the back button, or type in a new url? Is there a fix for this?

    It goes to different websites, yet all have the same template. I've tried deleting Firefox and reinstalling. I've placed my PC in safe mode and hit the system restore. I've used multiple anti-viruses and malware software and nothing.
    It only happens in Firefox. My Chrome, Safari, and the terrible IE works perfect.

    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list and bypass the page with that gives the alert:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • Whenever I open the bookmarks manager "show all bookmarks" firefox 4 hangs. Is there a fix for this?

    I use task manager to kill firefox when it hangs.

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

  • HT1476 iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord.  Is there a fix for this issue?

    iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord.  Is there a fix for this issue?  It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5.  It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house.  At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too.  This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road.  Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

  • I recently updated my Mid 2007 iMac with the latest OS 10.8.5 now my external hard drives will not show up. They show up when I boot them up on a machine running and earlier OS. Is there a fix for this?

    I recently updated my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac with the latest OS 10.8.5 now my external hard drives will not show up. They show up when I boot them up on a machine running and earlier OS. Is there a fix for this?

    Can you see them in Disk Utility?
    If so, can you select and Mount them?
    If not, disconnect them, reset the iMac's SMC and then reconnect them.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Wait fifteen seconds.
    4. Attach the computer's power cord.
    5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    If you still can not see them, connect them back up to the iMac running the older OS, open Disk Utility and look to see how they are partitioned and formatted.

  • I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS8 and keep getting knocked off of cellular data. Is there a fix for this? Can  I downgrade back to iOS7?

    I recently upgraded the software on my iPad 2 to iOS8.02. Since upgrading the iPad is running slower and choppier, with several apps no longer working. In addition, it keeps knocking me off my cellular data and showing no service. Is there any fix for this, or can I downgrade the iOS back to 7?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • After downloading Maverick, my photobooth images were out of chronological order. I've now downloaded Yosemite and they are still out of order. Is there a fix for this?

    After I downloaded Maverick, I noticed that my photobooth images were out of chronological order. I've since downloaded OS X Yosemite (10.10) and they are still out of order. My version of Photobooth is 7.0 (719). Is there a fix for this? Many thanks in advance.

    Do you mean a restore to factory settings?. If so did you set up as new or restore from back up afterwards?

  • I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this?

    I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this? I am using Aperture 3.2.2 with a MacBook Pro.

    I don't know -- sorry.  I don't think it matters -- once your camera is supported, you can easily force a re-processing of the Masters.  If you can import them as RAW+JPEG pairs, I would.  Set the JPG as Master until Aperture can convert the RAWs.
    I don't use RAW+JPEG.  Can someone who does offer some suggestions  .
    (Added:)
    And _always_ back up your files.  In this case, if you have to, you'll be able to re-import them.
