Reminders from out of the blue?

I use iMac, MBAir and iPhone 4. Both PCs use OSX 10.7.4. I use iCloud to synch the calendar and contacts. When I create an appointment I always set a reminder 24 hours ahead of time. Occasionally I have to change the appointment. The change updates in all the calendars. Fo some odd reason I will get the reminder for the original appointment. And of course I'll get the reminder for the revised appointment.
I used to use Google Calendar before iCloud. But I've deleted my Google calendar some months ago, relying solely on the Apple calendar. So I don't think the reminder is coming from Google Calendar.
Any idea why a reminder would be sent for an obsolete appointment.

Oh boy, this is fun. The songs show up if I do a few at a time. But if I encounter a lock up, I lose everything up to that point and must do a restore. I just encountered that again and this time, upon reconnecting my ipod, I got a "unreadable disk format" error message and disk first aid opened. I restored again and tried to do another upload and it locked up on the very first song.

In iPhoto the double click to enlarge a photo is now a ! in a triangle and I am Unable to print from iPhoto. This has just happened out of the blue.

Hi All.
In iPhoto I have lost the double click that opensup photos, the double click now appears as a ! in a triangle. At the same time I have lost the print facility in iPhoto. This happened out of the blue and I have been unable to reconcile either problem. Can anyone help please.
Bill

The ! means that iPhoto has lost connection to the origianl file.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

New BT Vision Box delivered out of the blue

I have had a brand new black BT Vision Box delivered this morning out of the blue(I currently have on of the old silver boxes). The letter indicated that they were issueing everyone with a new box due to features being rolled out and that the silver box will stop working in 28 days. I have an almost full hard drive of programs and films and there is no way of transfering the data accross. They advise us to watch everything before sending the box back in a prepaid envelope.
As I don't want anything new to be recorded on the old box can I set up my new black box and still watch the recordings on the old box?
Solved!

Yes you can, but what you would need to do is -
leave the silver box plugged in to the mains and connected to the hub via the ethernet cable
then remove the ethernet cable from the silver box and connect this cable to the black box
switch the black box on and allow it to boot up
The silver box will then run and allow you to watch your recorded content
(putting the silver box in to standby is fine, but don't unplug the mains supply)

Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

All of my purchased ringtones and songs dissapeared out of the blue. How do I get them back without having to buy them all over again?

Out of the blue, all of my purchased ringtones and music aren't displayed anymore on my iPhone.
I went to iTunes to see if they were stored there, but the downloads folder also appears to be empty. If I try to select a ringtone I've downloaded before, a popup appears saying that I've already purchased that item and asking if I want to cancel or buy. If I click on buy, then I pay for the item again even if I already have it! The only place I can still see my purchased items is in the iTunes application on my computer, but even though I've already selected sync, the ringtones and songs still won't appear on my iPhone.
What happeneded and how can I get them back without having to pay for them all over again?
Thank you!

I'm having the same problem on an iphone 4s running iOS8; when i updated to iOS8, all my ringtones went missing, and when i got a £50 gift card for christmas (2014), I purchased some songs from the iTunes store on my iPhone. i downloaded songs from paramore, panic! at the disco, coldplay, and imagine dragons, over wi-fi, and they went into my iphone music library; but when i re-opened the music app a few days later, in a place where i had no wi-fi, except for my 3G phone signal, some cloud icons appeared next to my newly purchased songs, telling me to re-download them from the cloud, when i haven't even deleted them. this has happened twice now, and i had to use up some of my 5GB data allowance to redownload them from the cloud. This is annoying and i need to fix this issue ASAP.

When I type my email address in the "To:" field, a random name comes up next to it as "Holidays in United States". This just started happening out of the blue and I have no idea why. Does anyone else have any idea?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

PB-12 HD died out of the blue!

Has anyone had their HD die on them Out of the blue?
My laptop was working fine one minute, and when I went back to it a few minutes later, it was frozen. I tried to start it from the Power Button and it would not start again. The daisy wheel just spun and spun.
I Talked to a Apple tech and he informed me that the HD looked as if it were the problem. I took it to an Apple partner store and now have been waiting for over 2 weeks for a new HD.
The worse part was that I wanted to do a routine back up of my Home folder, but waited a day as it was my sons birthday! Now I have lost all my Notes, documents etc... Everything. Luckily there were no photos or music on the laptop, they're all on the PowerMac.
I was wondering if I was the only one who has had this happen to them?

Hi Six,
I have never had this happen personally (knock wood), but as a service tech I have seen it happen. Hardware can fail with no warning, and there can be a number of reasons why. I am sorry that it happened so suddenly to you, but rest assured you are not alone out there. I hope your new hard drive gives you many years of reliable service!

Upon start up of my laptop I get a APS Daemon.exe system error - MSVCR80.dll is missing. This just started out of the blue. At one point it told me to reinstall ITunes. Is that truly necessary?

I have the same issue after installing the new update and reinstalling iTunes doesn't fix the issue.
I found disabling Apple push (APSDaemon.exe) from the start up will stop the error from appearing, however this will disable wireless syncing. If you don't use it than it shouldn't be an issue.
I'm using a PC so you can disable it using the msconfig command and turning it off in the Startup tab. I don't know if Mac users are experiencing the same issue. Hopefully Apple will fix it in their next update.

Another Mac not starting up out of the blue

Hello all,
I know this topic has been discussed quite a bit and I have searched through the archives. However, I figured I would post my experience in the hopes that someone out there may have insight for me which may be unique to my situation.
I have a modified G4 Digital Audio machine which over the years has given me some trouble from time to time. Usually however, I can figure out what is plaguing it and fix it.
My computer was on and had been on for some time yesterday (multiple days). As I was watching a Quicktime video, all of a sudden the computer just powered itself off. When I tried to restart the machine, the power button would glow, but nothing would start up. No startup chime, no nothing. The power button would stay lit only as long as I hold it, a red light goes on the motherboard, fans try to spin, once I release the button, everything goes dead.
PMU reset does nothing. Also, I have put a fresh battery in and that changes nothing either. I left the machine unplugged overnight, also left it without the battery, same behavior when I try to start it back up.
All of this seems like it might be the power supply, right?
I replaced the power supply about 6 months ago. Could be the case again, but I am doubtful since it was replaced and I had done nothing to cause this (no pinched cables) as the computer was running fine, then powered itself off out of the blue.
I will say that when I opened the case, the motherboard, computer contents were hotter than usual when I open the case.
Also, I noticed recently that my GeForce2 video card's fan had recently stopped spinning.
As an educated guess, I am thinking that my video card has fried since it was so hot in there and the fan has stopped spinning on it for who knows how long. Would that prevent power up and cause behavior like the glowing button?
Power supplies and video cards are not cheap items for a Mac, therefore I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for how to test this without replacing all those parts? Since I'm leaning towards it being a video card, does anyone know of other AGP video cards which may work in this machine? I've looked at replacing GeForce cards in the past, but they never say anything about being compatible with OSX. Does anyone know if they will work anyway? I'd like to get a cheaper video card to see if that may be what is causing this.
Any help appreciated...
Thanks,
Shane

What applications are open? You can tell by viewing the Dock.
Not knowing what the installer is trying to install I would close the disk image and delete it. If you don't know where the disk image file is located Control (right) - click on the Installer icon on the Desktop and select Get Info from the contextual menu.
The Info window will show where the disk image file is located like in this screenshot:
Since the installed is generically named as is the disk image be very wary of it.

Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working.

Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working. I used the phone and switched it off. The next time I turned it on they weren’t working. The phone wasn’t dropped on banged around. – Any Ideas, Anyone??

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Have ALL of these steps been tried?
If you've been through ALL these steps and still have problems, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard). Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.

A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard). Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything. Both the suggestion from HP and Apple, it's making me crazy I've spent most of time trying to fix it.

You tried exactly what ?
I most of the time would start with the same Apple Printer Support page tech articles
OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion systems will have the necessary printing software already installed, or will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper. Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
Make sure the printer model is listed in Printer and scanner software, which is a comprehensive list of all printer models that have compatible software for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.
How to add a printer
Start a print job on the Mac and manage its options
Generate and manage PDFs
Manage the printer queue and printer dock icon
Share the printer queue
Mac OS Printing/Fax (any version), OS X Lion, OS X Mountain Lion

Try to delete the print queue under Print & Fax / Print & Scan then manually add a print queue.
