Question What does that mean?

- my iphone keep saying waiting for activation under iMessage?

It could be a couple of things, a HD failure or it could be the system forgot where the startup volume is. Please read Flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac.
BTW  you posted in the wrong forum, this is a forum for Intel Based iMacs, you should either post in Mac Pro forum or the forum for the version of OS X  you are running.

    I keep getting this "text" saying, "It's time to change your ringtone". What does that mean? I can't get this other ringtone to download to my new iPhone 5s. Wjosten's earlier  suggest didn't help. Sorry. I tried what he said to do, but I could not get the ringtone "coqui" to download to the phone after connecting it to the iTunes stores and backing it up. The ringtone in question is in my library, but I cannot copy it or move it to my iPhone. Hope somebody can help.

  • Music I purchased on I Tunes is not available when I open ITunes in I Movie.  I Movie says those files are "protected" and not accessible.  What does that mean and can I change them to "unprotected" so I can use them in IMovie?

    Most of the music that I purchased on I Tunes I bought and downloaded on my old I Mac which I replaced with this I Mac about 9 months ago.  When I"m using I Movie on this I Mac and try to open I Tunes tab in I Movie, most of the files are not accessible because I Movie says those fields are protected. What does that mean and can I change those files to unprotected so they show up in my music in IMovie?
    This I Mac is OS X version 10.9.5 Maverick, 2.7GHz Intel Core 15 processor, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 memory.

    Your older iTunes music purchases included DRM software to prevent sharing.

    For some money you can get it removed and get a better quality file to boot.

  • Keychain password what does that mean?

    keychain password what does that mean?

    Keychain is an Apple technology dating back to OS9 that saves commonly-used passwords for web sites, your email, etc. It matches the web site or applcaiotn to waht's stord and reloads the password to save re-entering it all the time.
    What are you doing when the computer asks for a keychain password? Usually you can access the Keychain Utility's stored info using your administrative password.
    It would help if we knew your Mac OS version. "iOS 6.1.2" in your profile is not a computer OS, but used only for iDevices. Doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu wil show your actual Mac OS version. Once you have it, you should change your profile to match that--it will get you faster help for future questions.
    If you let us know the OS version, we can get you moved to the forum for that version, where you should get faster help with Keychain issues. This forum--although it's hard to tell from the unfortunate choice of labels--is for iMacs made before 2006 and doesn;t get as much traffice as forums for newer Mac models.

  • I have several no title entries in my history.  what does that mean?

    I have several "no title" entries in my History.  What does that mean?

    Hello,
    If it froze while in use and then brought up a question mark after resetting, this would indicate to me a hard disk drive failure
    Your going to require a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4 or the system disks specific for that model of iBook.
    You will need to boot from disk and run the Disk Utility. check and repair your drive if possible or a replacement drive may be required.

  • My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture? I must have pressed a button without noticing it. What does that mean, and how can I get them back to normal?

    My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture? I must have pressed a button without noticing it. What does that mean, and how can I get them back to normal?

    My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture?
    Ana Candano, what is your Aperture version? Earlier Aperture versions - until Aperture 3.2.4 had colored icons, Aperture 3.3 and later are gray in gray. Do you have two versions of Aperture installed?
    When you post back, list your version of MacOS X and the versions of any Aperture.app you can find with Spotlight on your Mac.
    Frank, the thread you pointed to, was a different question, but probably is related. It would be good to know how it has been resolved.

  • HT1338 i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this  "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

    i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this  "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

    I note this information from Wikipedia: "DVD Studio Pro was a high-end software tool published by Apple Inc. to allow users to create DVD masters to be sent out for replication at production houses. Its tight integration with other Apple applications allows users to take Final Cut Pro and Motion projects and render them into the DVD format without encoding to intermediary formats. This streamlines the production workflow and reduces overhead."
    If that is your intent, finding a substitute program that will run on your Mac may not be as efficient.  Others can advise you on alternatives, or you can post a new thread specifically with that question.
    BTW: what Mac and what version of OS X?
    If it is important to you to continue to use DVD Studio Pro, consider the option of installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels on your Mac:

    Hi JoFan0465,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Good question! 
    Blue messages are iMessage conversations (Apple's messaging service)
    Green messages are SMS - standard text messages. 
    SMS is the acronym for Short Message Service.
    MMS is the acronym for Multimedia Message Service (audio, pictures, video can be added to messages).
    With MMS turned on, you will see a little camera icon in the bottom left corner of your screen when you are in the Messages app.  Also you will see the word iMessage where you type your text.
    The link below will explain more:
    Apple - iOS 6 - Messages with iMessage, for unlimited texting.
    See the iPhone User Guide - pgs. 64-66 to learn more about Messages:
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    The article that you referenced, iOS: Using Messages explains all of the parameters and requirements for sending messages on your iPhone.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

    When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.
