Hello, Linda BC. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • 3 year old iMac 24 running OS10.7.4.  After it has been on for a day or so, it stops going to sleep and becomes very slow.  This only happens when Safari is running. Quitting Safari solves the problem.  Has anyone else have the same problem?

    Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • OS X Mountain Lion has been updating for 2 days

    Hi, i purchased the update two days ago, after downloading and installing, my macbook pro needed to restart, as expected. although, my computer is still not updated, it still displays the blue screen with the little wheel of death. Is it normal for this update to take more than 2 days? if not how to i stop it and restart it?

    A new version of Mountain Lion 10.8.4 has just been released.  Maybe the MAS servers were down for the changes to be made.  I would turn off the computer by holding down the power button for several seconds and then restart it. Check the version you have installed, by going to"About this Mac"
    If it says 10.8.3, go to Software Update and get the point release.  If it is still Snow Leopard, go to the Purchases tab and download the full installer again.

  • TS1702 an app has been  installing for two days. I cant delete it.

    How can I get rid of an app that wont stop installing?

    Did you try resetting your phone by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing?

  • My mail has frozen with basketball appearing. I think this is due to my attempt to send a home movie as an attachment. I need to delete the attachment but I get message that it cannot be deleted 'at this time'. The wheel has been revolving for two days.

    I can work around by restarting my Mac but must not touch my mail where the message sits as a draft. I am unable to send mail.
    Please how may I get rid of theemail and attachment?
    Thanks

    Back up all data. 
    Quit Mail if it's running. From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    Select your iCloud account in the list on the left and click the "-" button below to delete it from the list. Then click the "+" button and add the account.

  • ICal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for days...??

    I have an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone.  I have been using iCloud since it came out (running Lion).  iCal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for several days.  Also - when I add an event on the MacBook, it does not show up on any of my other devices (they are all set up with the same iCloud calendars).  When I add events from my other devices, they DO show up in iCal on my Macbook Pro.
    I am at a loss -- any help would be VERY much appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hello
    Chance upon your post and yes, immediately after upgarding to Mountain Lion, my "new" Calendar (Desktop, formely known as 'iCal') keeps having the pop up window saying "Updating Calendar..." (I set my Calendar to auto-launch after Startup)
    After restarting it will still be the same, but if I quit and launch again, everything will be fine.  Will try the method you posted (the thread) tonight.  Although I deleted the iCal preferences, thinking/hoping it will help
    However, I don't seem to have a problem with sycning of al events, my sync with iCloud and all my macs and iOS devices seem OK.
    If events are not syncing into some of your iOS devices, why don't you try deleting the entire iCloud account on it and re-set a new one?  I've done that before when events or other data don't properly sync
    Cheers

  • Inbox on my ipad hasn't updated for two days

    HI
    the inbox in my ipad  Yahoo mail account has not updated for two days, it keeps continually checking for mail but nothing comes in! It is working fine on my iPhone!  I'm not terribly technically minded so just wondered if anyone had any ideas??
    thanks
    LIndy

    Try deleting the account and readding it. Yahoo is doing things to their servers and it mucks up your mail app. Sometimes it resolves on its own, other times you can fix it by deleting and readding.

  • Unable to activate photoshop C3  as helpline is not answering,I have been ringing for two days..!

    I am having real problems contacting the adobe helpline to activate my software, I have been ringing for two days and its always engaged.. Unfortunately The motherboard on  my macbook pro failed ( and it was only just over two years old, so out of its warrenty)..
    Anyhow  I cannot therefore de-activate my photoshop software on my old computer, so therefore I am unable to activate on my new computer I just brought..
    It is so frustrating as i have all the discs infront of me, but I only have four days left now to use the software that I have paid for and own..
    Does anyone know of other phone numbers I could use, as the ones I have tried on this site are always engaged, I really can't afford to go out and purchase the software again.. Has anybody else come across this problem and how did you solve it..?
    In desperation

    Hi Wade,
    I thought when I received your email it was somebody directly from adobe trying to help me...! indeed it was not a wise thing to do. I have deleted the post..
    With the greatest respect I have tried calling quite a few numbers and at different times and if you have read other posts on this forum you will see that they have had similiar problems to me..
    Anyhow I have had a nice email from Tracey an adobe person and hopefully she will be able to help me out.
    Thanks again for your suggestion of an alternative number..

    You might need to stop the restore process and try restoring your backup again.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Stop Restoring... at the bottom.  Then restore your backup again as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.  When you're not using it, be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • My Mail has frozen - can access my hotmail through Safari but Mail now has a blank rectangle on the screen and the inbox underneath it has not updated for 2 days

    Mail giving problems. Small white rectangular box comes up on screen and inbox underneath has not updated for 2 days.
    I can use Safari to get new messages but, since getting this laptop, when I go to Hotmail via Safari old messages self delete every so often, whereas via Mail messages stay in the inbox unless I actually delete them. Any suggestions?

    Here is a photo of what I see when I tap on the mail icon to open it. It stays there for a second or two and then goes dark. Then I actually have to put my iPad into sleep mode in order to use it again. The app will NOT close no matter what I do, just shutting it down or put it in sleep and then restart  it.
    here is when I tap the mail icon. It looks like an empty page but you will see the format of the mail page. Next photo is what is see after a second. And the last photo is what I see before the iPad locks up or Les blank. I hope this makes things clearer as to what the problem is. Thanks for your help, hope this helps! Diane May.
