Please help - only a few months old and it shut down
I had 8 explorer windows open. (When ever that happens explorer sometimes flickers and the shuts down.) So it began, the a window popped up "Explorer is shutting down" Then the computer shut down. When i turned it back on it would go to recovery but would restart itself only to go back to recovery. So I found recovery disc and now its erasing everything.
I had a lot of work saved on this computer. I know it will all be erased, but more improtantly - why did this happen and how can I fix it? It was plugged in when it happened.
Which computer? Which Windows? Which Explorer?

My ipod is 4g and only a few weeks old and it broke, will the replace/repair it for free?
my ipod is 4g and only a few weeks old, and i dropped it a week after and got a tiny crack and it worked fine. then two weeks later(yesterday) it fell off of this planter and when i picked it up i expected if to be all cracked and shattered, but it was in great shape, then in the car i tried to use it, adn it was off. so i tried turning it on, resetting it, connecting it to power, and everything. it wont be detected in itunes either, so i dont know what happened. will they replace it since its only a few weeks old? and i looked at my service and support coverage and it said that the warranty is still active, and on the support-repair-pricing page in small print it reads:

I'm in iraqAdobe Reader is free. It always has been.
You have obviously downloaded and installed Acrobat (30 day trial version) and the trial period has expired.
You need to uninstall Acrobat (using the Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features [Vista/7])
Then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
to completely remove the Acrobat installer files.
Then download Reader 9, install it, and go about reading PDFs for free.
EDIT: Please, please please.... do NOT post a phone number in the forums.
You're inviting trouble if you do.

My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I did that it came up with another message that it was only good for a 32 bit version. I guess I do not have a 32 bit version. I just purchased my computer a few months ago and it uses the windows 7 operating system. What do I do now?
Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps. -
Why does time capsule go missing from the network. The green light is lit at all times. I am unable to use the software the only thing I can do is power cycle time capsule, by unplugging and plugging the mains back in.
My time capsule is only a few weeks old, any ideas?
I am new to apple products very impressed with iPhone 5, I pad, iMac. Really not sure about time capsule!
ThanksAn external drive is much more reliable.. the issue has to do with network connection and loss of something.. although I am sorry I cannot tell you exactly what. The computer is still connected, still works on internet but has actually lost the hard disk.. lost and cannot find it without a restart.
If you want to try a few changes it can help.
1. If you are connected by ethernet make sure wireless is off in the imac.. having only one network connection is better than two.
2. Redo the TC setup with all short names.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric. Apple has these long names with spaces and characters like apostrophe by default but they are not a help.
3. If the TC is the main router then reduce the dhcp lease time.. make it 20min.. that keeps everything refreshed and up to date.
None of those fix it but they may help stretch out the interval. -
Why is my iphone coming on only connected to a PC and then shutting down after 1 minute???????
Seriously need help. My phone is going crazy right after ios is installed. It turns on only with a PC and then shuts down after 1 minute? Never thought Id have problems with Apple.
I have had the same problem with my daughter's IPOD nano. Spoke with several technicians to try to fix the problem to be told it was a battery problem and to send it in it was covered under warranty. Was told that it was a problem with many of the nanos. I sent it in to have it returned with 1 week stating that it had "liquid spill or submersion damage indicated by the pink/red color of liquid submersion indicator located inside headphone jack." It has not had liquid or submersion damage and I can't prove otherwise. It works only if it is attached to computer. Will not turn on unless attached to computer. Maybe I am wrong but it it has damaged by water would it still work plugged into computer. Now I am out $200.00. This frustrates my because my ipod shuffle quit working 2 months after I got it. Thats why I bought the nano thinking it was better quality.

MacBook pro only lasts a few minutes on battery and then shuts down!

It varies. Some do not even last 1 year but others 4+ years.
Apple provides only 1year warranty.

I have windows7 and my ipad2 completes only 1 or 2 steps and then shuts down with completely syncing
When I connect my iPad2 to my computer (Windows7) and open iTunes to sync, it completes only a couple of syncing steps before I receive a windows error message and it shuts down. This does not happen when I connect my iPod to my computer, open iTunes and sync. Both the IPad2 and Ipod2 have the same music, photos etc. Is this like to be an iTunes problem, or iPad problem, and if so, is there a program I can download to allow a complete sync?
Regards
JaneIf the error message contains a number read here > iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
Your anti virus softare and Firewall could be preventing the sync process.

This message appeared in the last 2 weeks. I was traveling and using a variety of internet portals. But it's still appearing now that I'm home, so that probably is not a factor. I have Firefox set for auto download/install of updates.
Firefox 3.6.16 has a newer build and release date than Firefox 4.0 does.

i need to add a new computer and take off a old one but can't find the site or place to turn it off i can only have two computers but i got three please help let me know where to go to shut one off to put the new one on?
Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

Help with opinion on new battery... only 14 months old and its bad
Got an early 08 MacBook Pro 15.4" Coconut Battery says 167 cycles with 48% capacity remaining... Computer is 14 months old and it gets about 1.5-2 hours of battery to a charge..
Should i go for aftermarket or OEM battery replacement? Im going to Kuwait for deployment and need something that will last.. Apples OEM are expensive but i know you get what you pay for sometime but aftermarket batteries can be just as good..
Where is a good site to get one?? THANKS!aftermarket batteries can be just as good..
You want to be certain that such batteries are not 'old stock' (as I had happen to me once).
Kuwait
High temperature can be a real life shortener for batteries. -
My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and, for the last few days, it has been loading so slowly, mainly with webpages. I have gotten the swirling rainbow "thinking" icon more in the last days than I have since I bought it. I know I'm spoiled and expect it to be faster than lightening (which it has been) but I am worried that I may have been compromised in some way, or, is there anything I can do as administrator to clear out some "junk"?
Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
Given that your MacBook Pro is so new, you should certainly contact AppleCare and take advantage of the free telephone support included in its purchase price.
Until then, if you are motivated to investigate this yourself consider the following:

I bought the Adobe student version of Photoshop and Premiere Elements a few months ago - and now I am trying to use it, and the serial number that I have is incorrect - or it is only the registration number or something? It says I should have been sent an email with the serial number once the product was registered - But I never received this email. If anyone is able to help me with this issue - that would be great. the registration number is: PEPEP6-5578-6450-8871-9107 I am using a windows based system
If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application. Then install CS6 and use your CS6 serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for. CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates. Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6. Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...
