So, I made the mistake of updating Garageband 09 to GB 11 without exporting my songs first. When i try to open one of them it freezes up and won't respond then the program crashes.... any ideas?

That's what I figured from what I've been reading. Will have to see what the cost might be and if it's a worthwhile investment considering the age of the computer.
You can get a first-gen Mac Pro on eBay for around $300. It can run OS 10.4 through 10.7. Something to consider, depending on the cost of a logic board and the hassle of replacing it. You transfer your existing drives, as long as you have a spare external drive. You would clone your G5 drives to the external drive as disk images, then move the G5 drives to the Mac Pro, re-format them GUID, and clone back the contents from the disk images on the external. I did this recently when I retired my G5.

I TRied to close firefox and the window popped up asking if i wanted to close all the open tabs, from there it froze and won't respond.

I can not click 'close tabs' i cannot click 'cancel' and i cannot even see the 'Help' option at the top of the screen. Its just a black screen, the 'close tabs' pop up and the Mac apple on the top bar of the computer that also says firefox but none of the other options are there. (File Edit View History etc. etc...)
Also i can't force the app to quit and the computer says it can't restart or shut down until the app is closed.

My apple tv is stuck on the home page and won't respond to the remote

My hockey puck apple tv is currently on the home screen with Movies highlighted but i cant use it with any remotes... I've paired two remotes to this apple tv and now it doesnt respond to any of them except for the blue light that blinks whenever i press a command on the remote...

Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

TS4036 my ipad is frozen-it says the ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage space. It prompts you to manage your settings but it is completely frozen and won't respond when you hit "close" or "settings"

My ipad froze after the icloud attempted a backup and there isn't enough storage space. It will not respond when I click "close" or "settings" to monitor my icloud storage. Any suggestions?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

My Itunes is stuck on one song and won't advance to the next in the playlist

When listening to a playlist on my Iphone the same song just keeps repeating - it does not advance.

While the song is playing tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls (if not already present) -- see photo below. Then tap the Repeat control until it turns white (which means off).

How to bring back the black dot on the red close button for edited/unsaved files?

I've ticked the box for "Ask to keep changes when closing documents" System Preferences / General. I'm operating within Mac OS 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion).
When I make changes to an open file in most every program, a black dot appears on the red close button in the top-left corner of the file's window. This convention goes back a decade to early Mac OS X, as I recall.
However, I don't see this behavior in a few applications lately, such as Xcode 4.6.3 or QuickTime Player 10.2.
Anyone know how to bring this functionality back?
Thank you.

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.

The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands. I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Can anyone explain to me why sometimes my ipad2 locks up and won't respond to any input from the keyboard.

My iPad 2 locks up sometimes and won't respond to any input from the keyboard. Have to reboot in order to fix the problem.

You have 3 choices:
1. Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.
2. Restore from backup using iTunes
3. Restore as new without the backup

Hi,
I have the same problem. I've been trying everything; opening ports, adjusting quicktime streaming preferences...everything discussed in other posts in this forum regarding error -8.
I really hate iChat...I think it's unbeliveble that Apple claims to be so better that Windows, but I never had problems wits MSN video.
But let's try to solve this irritating issue. What kind of messenging software do you have instaled/open when you try to use iChat?
I have Skype installed. When I deinstalled it, everything was working fine (so I thought). Next day the same BS all over again.
I could use skype to videochat, but I have an .mac account and I want to use iChat...the f&^%$*g .mac account is to expensive not to use...And do not forget that iChat AV quality is way better than Skype.
I really hope Apple comes with a solution soon.
Greets from an unhappy iChat user.

So you already wiped the old backup and started again??
If that is the case it did a fresh full backup ok?
How much free space is on the TC now?
Do you happen to have multiple network links? Meaning do you have TC bridged to the U-verse router.. with both ethernet and wireless working at the same time. I discovered this one all by my loansome.. having multiple paths does not seem to worry most things on the computer.. but it totally kills TM.
I had the same sort of thing happening in testing a TC I am fixing. So I have multiple ethernet and wireless. The incremental backups became extremely slow.. by turning off wireless and one ethernet so there is only one route to the TC.. it flys again.

My airport says self-assigned ip and won't connect to the wireless internet.

My airport says self-assigned ip and won't connect to the internet. It's set on Using DHCP, and nothing has changed router/internet wise. I tried it with the firewall off as well, but it still doesn't work. The ethernet works, and I tried setting the ip address manually to the same one as the router. It said it connected, but when I tried to load pages, etc. safari said I was not connected to the internet.
I also tried doing system updates and updating the airport utility - still nothing.

Firefox 4.0b10 will randomly lock up and say (Not Responding) in the title bar, and sometimes takes 1min to become usable again.

Most of the time when I launch Firefox 4.0b10 it will hang for 30sec-1min before loading. It will show a white page and say (Not Responding) in the title bar.
It also does this when opening a new tab, clicking any link, and sometimes scrolling down a page.

My McCaffee was a trial thing, I think. I clicked on it to see if it was updated, and it said it was expired. So I'm just going to uninstall it completely and install AdAware, which is all I've ever used for years and never had a problem.
It occurs to me -- this must (?) have something to do with my new computer... it was slow right out of the box, and I called ASUS tech support the second day I had the puter up and running, and the tech asked me to do a System File Check (SFC), but discovered that the normal pathways through which one would do a SFC (according to him) did not work - the machine would not either recognize them or it would simply swallow the command and then just do nothing... he put me on hold for a few minutes. He came back with a workaround (don't remember it exactly, but it involved a DOS prompt), and I was able to finally run a SFC, which revealed "corrupted files" that had to be "repaired."
In a brand new computer? That can't be a good thing... Maybe the system software factory install was just a bad install? Because I had some slow Firefox issues on my old machine (Acer, dual core, 4gRAM, 2009 machine), but NOTHING like this. This is getting very frustrating. I'm used to just sitting down to my computer and using it, not sitting down and fighting with it for 2 or 3 minutes or more before i can do anything.
