PDF/Keynote will not work and IMac (2009) Lion 10.7.5 is extremely slow

Both MBP 15" 2010 and IMac 2009 - both Lion 10.7.5 are slow
I do not have a lot of garbage on them- I try to be careful about the sites that I visit (in school so I usually visit sites through the university's VPN)
This is driving me insane!

Hi, on the slowness...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
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 of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

- After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod? If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
- If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

HT204053 When I try to login to my apple ID on my iphone 4 to use facetime, it will not work and tells me to check my connection? I have even tried creating a new apple ID but the same message appears

When I try to log onto my Apple ID to use facetime, it will not work and tells me to check my connection. I have even tried creating a new apple ID but the same message appears. I do not understand why this is happening, could anyone help me resolve this issue it is very frusterating that I can not enable facetime or imessage.

I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

If in settings, music, volume limit is off then restart your phone first. Hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps that can apply to any iPad issue.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail app and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
None of these things may work, but without more specific information, they are a good place to start.

My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP

My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP
I have tried to open old session i have done in garage band and many of the effects and instruments I have used will not show up. The system seems to have a bug.

If the graphical user interface looks broken, that is quite often a problem of corrupted user preferences - have you tried to remove the preferences file, as described in the FAQ
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
Here is again the short version:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Open your User Library in the Finder. It is hidden in MacOS X Lion, so use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > GO hold down the "Options" key, until the library appears in the menu, select it.
In the window that opens, open the folder "Preferences" and remove the file:com.apple.garageband.plist and com.apple.garageband.plist.lockfile
Then try again to run GarageBand and download the loops.
The preferences file stores all you user settings that you set using the "Preferences" panel in GarageBand, also the layout of the GarageBand window and the location of your recent projects. You will have to enter these settings again after removing the file.

Hi
Why wouldn't an Apple file D/L into an Apple browser?
Likely due there being a non-Apple plugin trying to handle it & failing.
Look in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ for any plugins with 'pdf' in the name.
Remove any you find - either trash or take to the desktop, restart any browsers, then try a pdf.

I am new to xCode and SDK Disks. My Interface Builder will not work and 'quit's unexpecteldy'. What can I do? I really want to create an applicaiton. Thanks

Hi, I am a new user to xCode and just recently downloaded a SDK Disk image and also an older version of xCode from the Apple Developer site. I opened the 'Interface Builder' for the first time and it worked. Next, when I tried to open it again (with and without the xCode 'Mainmenu.xib' attachment file from xCode) it kept showing the message "it quit unexpectedly".
I need to create an application for a project I am working on. If anyone who can resolve my problem of why the Interface Builder is not working, that will be great.
If you need additional details (like which versions etc.) please ask, for I am desperate to find an adequate solution to this problem.
Thanks.

Without intending any disrespect, if you had suspected these would be questions and if you're in a hurry for an answer, then why did you exclude the information? And yes, knowing the Mac OS X version (preferably Mac OS X 10.5.8 or 10.6.7) , as well as the Xcode version might shed some light on this. Might. And I'll presume there's a specific reason you downloaded what I will assume is an Xcode3 version.
Was this an existing Xcode project, or did you start with a new project here? If it's an existing project, it could well have a corruption or an incompatibility.
Initially, I'd probably start with a new project, and load in newly-copied source files. On the off chance the project is corrupted.
Failing that, I'd deinstall Xcode using the documented procedures, and would then reload it. If there was an old version of Xcode around on the system, sometimes wonky stuff can happen with an installation.
And FWIW, the Apple Developer Forums and the Apple mailing lists tend to see far more developer-related traffic than do these particular forums. (There's an Xcode users' mailing list around which sees regular traffic, too.)

After updating Firefox and Java, Firefox gets stuck loading,will not work, and I have to use End Now to exit it.

I started to have problems after I updated Firefox and then I did a Java update, hoping this would help. Firefox will not finish loading, it gets stuck, I cannot go to websites with it, it is stuck. Then when I try to close it down, I get the message that it is not responding and I have to use" End Now". I am having to use Internet Explorer as my browser, which works fine. My computer is a six year old quite feeble PC with a 37GB hard drive with only about 5GB of available space left.

Yes, you will lose all your data stored on the sync server if you reset the sync (recovery) key.
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
Is the password manager working properly?
You can find the sync password and the sync key in the password manager on the computer where you originally created that sync account (email).
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
Look for:
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password)
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Encryption Passphrase)
