Notes is constantly opening! I keep closing it and it continues to open itself!!!
Hi,
All of a sudden Notes keeps opening by itself on my iMac every 20 seconds. I keep on closing it and it keeps on opening itself.
Has anyone had this issue? I have restarted, forced quit it and it just keeps opening again and again.
Help Please

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Have an older Macbook Pro 10.6.8 tried to update it to XMavericks. Discovered that my microsoft apps are not compatible. Can I keep my files and convert them?
Use a product such as LibreOffice, the iWork applications, or Microsoft Office 2008 or newer to open them.

What is wrong with FF it keeps closing up and numerous hang ups awful
I have so many problems with this browser - they just keep multiplying. Today, Firefox started closing by itself without my doing anything. This is added to the constant script running errors and other hang ups that constantly slow down my work and are driving me crazy. Maybe I'd just better go back to IE? I've tried your help "fixes" and they don't. Very frustrating.
Did Firefox crash?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

Come home and itunes is open. Close it and it comes back a few minutes later. Try typing on keyboard in browser and it keeps popping open.
Had to kill hidserv to type in this message.

My Ipad Mini Keeps Closing Apps and Returning back to the Home Screen?
Hi,
I bought an ipad mini at the beginning of December and i have had problems with it ever since.
For some reason i could be in the middle of doing something (doesnt matter what app or what i'm doing) and it will just shut down and return to the home screen so i then have to open the app again?
Its quite frustrating and i have searched the web high and low for other similar problems but i cannot find anything.
I am using the ios 6.0.2.
Thank you
DanielYou might need to consider restoring the iPad to factory settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=support_site.home.search_sugge sted.search&locale=en_US&q=restore%20ipad%20manually

everytime I turn on my computer it loads the basic desktop (factory settings one) with non of my icons or image.
Sometimes if I restart my computer it loads correctly and other times I have to keep restarting my computer.
This is extremely annoying can anyone help to fix this issue.
It is happening on both mine and my spouses computer and both computers are less than 12 months old!
thanks.Hello m ember87un
What operating system are you running and what model of HP computer do you have? Based on your description it sounds like your user profiles may be corrupt or the computers are experiencing other problems. According to a Knowledge Base (KB) article from Microsoft this can also be caused by antivirus software scanning your computer what you try to log in. See the link to the KB below for troubleshooting steps if you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7.
As you can see in the symptoms Windows is loading a temporary profile for you. Do you receive any messages similar to "The user profile service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded."? Let me know what happens.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue. -
I noticed lately that When working with some programs or brows through the net, my iPad suddenly takes out the program or the website. It drives me crazy. Can someone explain? Is there something wrong with this new iPad?
Probably ran low on memory.
Have you tried closing all programs running in the background?
1. Double-click the Home button to see what is running in the background
2. Hold Apps down for a second or two until the minus sign appear
3. Tap the minus sign to close program
4. Reset iPad. Hold Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. -
I get a message that an update is available and when I install it the update stops half way through and I get the error code: U44M1I210 for Camera Raw and Elements 13.1 updates. I get the message "UPDATES COULD NOT BE APPLIED" Can someone help with this? Thank you. David

Thanks for the follow up.
Is your Premiere Elements 13 on Mac computer?
I have not seen much in the way of alternatives coming from Adobe on the Premiere Elements 13.1 failed updates.
But there seems to be several discussions on U44M11210 in the CC products...one
Update failure. (U44M1I210) | Adobe Community
You could try the uninstall, free ccleaner, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) and then try for the Help Menu/Update for 13.1..
If Mac, https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
If Windows, CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
The CC people seem to have the advantage of an online download of their update as well as the one via the Help Menu/Update.
Premiere Elements does not have that perk - update only via Help Menu/Update.
Please review and consider and please let us know of your progress as your schedule permits.
Thank you.

My original ipad which my wife now uses keeps closing apps and returning to the home screen. Internet connection stays
Have you tried to give the device a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

Time Capsule HDD keeps cycling on and off while my Mac is sleeping
Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a hurry so just gonna post dot points:
• My Time Capsule's HDD keeps cycling on and off continuously and potentially doing heaps of damage to it's drive when my MacBook is sleeping.
• Time Machine is set to automatically backup to my time capsule.
• As soon as I wake up and log into my MacBook it seems to stop. I checked the time capsule icon immediately and it says "Preparing backup" so I assume it was stuck in that phrase.
• I assume it backs up normally after waking up
MacBook Pro Retina:
• I usually never put my MacBook to sleep by closing the screen, so can't say if this happens when it's in closed screen sleep vs open screened sleep
• I'm not sure if there's any difference between close screen sleep and open screen sleep
• It is set to go to sleep automatically after 45mins of inactivity
• My iTunes Library is stored off-device on a 2TB HDD connected to the Time Capsule
Cheers,
TonyHow old is the TC and on what firmware?
You have put Mountain Lion for OS.. is that still the case or upgraded to Mavericks??
There has been some issues at various times with disk spinning up ..
This thread might give you some clues.

Is the computer set to power nap? Try turning that off.
Try unplugging the external drive with itunes library and see if that helps.
If it is TM the attempts to start the backup should be in the log.
See A1 pondini troubleshooting.

Power nap.. try unplugging the laptop from power.
