Beachball hanging.. is it because I have too much memory
I've just recently upgraded my computer from 4 gig to 6 gig however they say 4 gig is only recommended but… it would take six gig. I've just noticed that the beach ball is hanging in iMovie, it's never done this before, I'm wondering if this is this because I have to much memory now or is it due to another aspect of the upgrade that came this week from Apple… answers would be appreciated thank you in advance
I did look at my hard drive before I posted the question however I have 200 of the 350 available on my hard drive, however it's still hangs slightly between transitions.... Any more suggestions please, and thank you for your reply that's so nice of you.
PS maybe I should turn my computer off now and restart the whole system.
Kind regards -
I cannot update my software because I have too much 'other' GB space. Does anyone know what the 'other' is and how do I get rid of it?

My iPhoto 11, V 9.4.2, locks up/freezes when I attempt to empty the iPhoto trash bin.
Originally, I thought it was due to 800+ files in the trash, however, I removed all but 5 photo files from the trash and it continues to lock up. Inititally the "progress" bar would get to about 1/2 way and then it would stop and stall. However, now the progress bar no longer shows a progress line it immediately freezes and locks up. Can anyone help?You may have damaged the library - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

How do I get a refund for my iCloud purchase? I purchased the $100.00 one and my data was too large so it could not be backed up
Refund:
If in the US, follow the link below (you must request a refund within 15 days) -

it gives the USA phone number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
Keeping current plan, but downgrading when it ends:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backup>Change Storage Plan. Look at downgrade options. There you can choose the plan you want when the current one ends. -

I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion. However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine than using Snow Leopard?
Which iMac? Which Macbook? Both have had several model
itertations, even within the framework of a Core2Duo processor.
With that said, I have an early 2009 iMac 24", with 2.66 GHz
Core2Duo with 8 gig of RAM, and in my opinion, seems to be running
smoother and faster with Lion. -

I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....
Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things. You either sync or manually manage.
Manually manage is drag and drop.
Sync is when you select what you want and then sync. -
I am using an older browser and OS because I cannot upgrade right now. I can access my email but cannot seem to put anything into the TRASH and if I do get some things to go in, I cannot empty. I would love to get compliant with my 5gb of free storage!
We are sorry to have lost you as a valued customer ndl9! I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you are having with trying to pay your final bill. Our best recommendation is the pay my bill link, which should allow you access based on your former phone number or account number. Did you try both? As an additional option, you can reach our automated system from an alternate line by dialing 800-922-0204 and then entering your former wireless number. http://vz.to/1fdEQVi

Do you think that apple would exchange my ipod gen 5 for another one because this one well, the screen isn't broken but the inside is half black and other colors? When it happened it was in its otter box, and i lost the receipt and got it on may? How much do you think it would cost please help me.
If covered by warranty. See:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
Then if the iPod is within warranty, not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost. You can do it at an Apple store

I have copied dvds that I own, for backup copies, onto the desktop of my macbook. Then I've placed a copy into iTunes for viewing later. Once the copy is over in iTunes, I delete the copy of the movie on the desktop and it goes to the trash. I do this because 1) I don't want to clutter up the desktop and 2) I don't want multiple copies of the movies on my hard drive. When I go to empty the trash, it says these items are in use and will not remove them from trash. Why is that? They are not in use as far as I know. How do I force them to be removed from trash?
I had a similar problem. I think it was caused by deleting an app while it was still running. I should have shut the app down before deleting freom the applications folder. When I tried to empty trash I received message:
"The operation can't be competed because the item something.app is in use."
Go to utilities, open a terminal, change directory to the hidden Trash folder and remove the offending item in use. Example:
cd ~/.Trash
sudo rm -rf item
Next time, maybe try quting iTunes before deleting and see if it makes any difference.

Another approach might be to use the iTunes folder named "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.

I have an issue. Recently I tried to authorize another card to pay my balance due and itunes would not authorize the card. Now that I am looking at my banking statement/ online banking it shows that multiple times the card was charged for the exact amount due ,21.02. but the payment already came out of my primary banking account, What do I do because I can not speak to a regular person since it is an Itunes account issue. I need some sort of help and I really want the funds refunded... I took screen shots proving all of this information.
