why is my computer booting up slow,can the battery have anything to do with it?
Hi tecknik!
I'm so sorry for any trouble with calls and messages! I know how important it is to have a properly working phone. Which iPhone do you have? Please reset the network settings: settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Once that is done, please monitor the device and see if that corrects the issue. What is your zip code?
I'm anxioud to get to the bottom of this for you!

Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
Thank You,

Using iTunes to put my CD collection on my computer and then to my iphone5, I have an older Optiplex with 40 Gb internal and an external 1.5Tb drive. Question is can I get itunes to point to the 1.5 Tb drive to store my music, and if so how?
Looks like I solved my own problem by going to itunes, preferences, advanced, media folder location.

I HAVE TRIED TO CONNECT TO ITUNES TO RESET AS I CAN'T REMEMBER MY PASSWORD. I PURCHASED THIS IPAD FROM EB GAMES STORE IT IS RECONDITIONED SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHY I CAN'T CONNECT TO ITUNES
If it is your password on your appleID account then click on the link to reset your password.
If it is your four digit passcode then See here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
You will have to go down the route of a Restore. Please read carefully the links therein with regard to using a different different computer from that with which you normally sync.
[You may also have to put your device into Recovery Mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ] -
Can someone please tell me why when i order an app on my sons ipod, do I get charged twice for it? When I tried do report a problem with the charge, it said that I can not get a refund on that item. This is the second time this has happened to me. Does it have anything to do with having more then one ipod linked to the same account? Thanks for any help you can give me!!!
It has nothing to do with have more than one device using that account.
After you purchase it once, you redownload it on other devices by the following, not like purchasing a new app.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you really got charged twice for purchases the same app twice with the same account contact iTunes again by:
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
Make sure that they are really the same app first. -
my airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?
What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid. -
This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old
And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.

My wife has an NOKIA E71 and she syncs with iSync. Everything works well, but when she adds a meeting on her phone, it does appear on the computer after syncing. Anyone?
We have an iMac 24" with the latest MAC OS.Hello Kerrigaj,
After a re-install of OS X 10.5.8 uninstalled the E71 in iSync and moved it out of the bluetooth-device list first and completely re-installed it using the bluetooth manager (SystemPreferences/Hardware).
No extra thirdparty-software involved and ever since no problems.
Goodluck - hope it works for you.
(MDD 1Ghz DP/2Ghz/OS X 10.5.8 + E71)

Does charging your computer too long really kill the battery?
Does charging your computer too long really kill the battery? I have some friends who claim this happened to thair PCs, and my friend's iBook G4 has about ~3 minutes of battery life because of this. Has Apple fixed this in later models or should I still only charge it until just as long as it takes for it to get filled up?
Mac power management is now, and always has been, very smart. The Mac does not over-charge its battery.
Batteries have a limited lifetime, and they eventually wear out whether they are charged daily or never charged at all. Your friend's G4 battery, if original, has lasted a very long time. It is not dying due to over-charging, it is dying due to old age.
For longest battery life, follow the recommendations in the article shldr2thewheel cited above. -
I upgraded my 3rd gen iTouch to iOS 5.1.1 and now its speed to repond is slower and the battery goes flat quicker than before the upgrade. Skype, Sky iCloud and other apps are turned off (I think). Has anybody else suffered with this? Any ideas?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -

Osx lion upgrade - computer boot VERY slow
after upgrade to OSX Lion, my computers boot very slowly. they also have a hard time waking from "sleep", sometimes running fans then going back to sleep again. disk verified, permissions repaired before and after install. any ideas? it's happening on more then one machine so it appears to be related to the software.
same at me! MBP 15",I7,early 2011

After booting, for more than a minute, most of the Apps work very slowly. Most buttons have to be pressed an second, a third time to work. After using Yasu (http://jimmitchell.org/yasu/) it seems to be a little bit better but after two/three bootings appears the same effect.
Than i decided to install Lion again but with the same result.The activity-display, showing ALL(!) processes, sorted for cpu-usage dont show no very consuming process ???

Sometimes, a failing hard drive can cause sluggish behavior, however.
Boot into your Recovery partition (hold down the command and R keys whilst booting) and once at the Recovery screen, select Disk Utility. Select your hard drive (in your case, the aptly named "Macintosh HD") and click on the "Verify" button. If you get green text telling you that everything appears to be OK, then it's not your hard drive slowing things down. If you get red text telling you that the disk needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If the disk can be fixed, it will be. If not, call back.

My G4 won't boot. I have tried holding down the c key to boot from a 10.3 disc and it doesn't boot. I keep getting the icon of a folder with a split face that flashes to a question mark. I know that usually means that the startup drive can't be found, but I have 2 good drives i have tried to boot with and it won't start up. Any ideas from out there/ Thanks in advance.
I doubt it's CCC's fault, possibly a bad DIMM, or slot, or corrosion in the slot.
How large is the drive? Which G4? Some can only handle 128-123 GB Drives. Is it an old drive?

Why is Windows Dev Center soo slow in the UK?
Whenever I try to log in to dev.windows.com Windows 8 dashboard to upload apps or check my statistics etc. It is sooooo slow. Every other app website is super fast like Google Console or IOS. But the windows console is very slow. When/if I finally manage
to log on. I dread pressing the details button to see the stats because I could be on the page for a few minutes with the little spinning "waiting" icons going round and round. About 50% of the time the stats never load at all and the waiting icons
just go round and round....
Is it just the UK that is slow to log on to the Windows 8 Dashboard or is it everyone around the world? Or is it just me? Am I assigned to a particularly slow Windows Dashboard server?
Surely I'm not the only one? It must be putting people off submitting apps to the app store.
This is not my internet connection as I can stream HD movies fine. It's just this one website!
