Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.

I get the following error message when I try to receive e-mail in this hotmail account: "Configuration could not be verified – is the user name or password wron

I have tried to add a hotmail account to Thunderbird because my Internet provider will stop e-mail support in the near future. I was able to add a hotmail account to Thunderbird, but I get the following error message when I try to receive e-mail in this hotmail account: "Configuration could not be verified – is the user name or password wrong?" (The hotmail website receives the e-mail.) User name and password is certainly correct. I have a 8.1 OS. Thank you.

got an anti virus that thinks it should scan email. Turn that function off.
Have a firewall, check that Thunderbird has full internet access, not some Auto rubbish that somehow fails.

I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo- "Alert. Couldn't contact Spell Checker." It slows everything down and I get the beach ball

Alert! Couldn’t contact Spell Checker. I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo. I get the beach ball and it slows down everything.This has been happening since yesterday. Please help if anyone else has had similar problems or has ideas to fix this. Thanks.

Chris,
I am having Spell Check probs too - it underlines, but that's all. I Googled and tried 5 different places for an answer - even 'jumped the pond'....but got no answers.
i started a thread, "Spell Checker on the fritz!!", and got one good and reasonable answer...
only it didn't work. It involved a .plist file, and once you toss one and do a re-start, it's supposed to re-build itself. But, no, SpCk still 'on the fritz'. I'm going to do one more re-start, but otherwise....
May the first one on either thread that gets an answer that works - PLEASE let us all know.
Keep your fingers crossed and hold your mouth right - lol. Nikki B.

I keep getting an error message when I try to view downloaded TV programme, I keep getting an error message when I try to view downloaded TV programme

Ive downloaded a TV programme on itunes and when I click to view it I get an error message "itunes has stopped working" and it shuts down
Please help

Let's try the following user tip with that one:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

I get an update server error message when i try to update my phone. I've uninstalled iTunes and all related software in the proper order and then reinstalled with security software disabled. no what?

I could use some help. Apple support walked me through the uninstall and reinstall of all iTunes and Apple files in the proper order with my security software disabled. I still get the following message:
"The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
Any ideas? I'm on a Dell i5 Core with Windows 7.

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

I get a "Connection Failed" message when I try to connect to a Windows 7 computer that I was able to connect to before.

I was able to connect to this Windows 7 computer before, I don't think anything happened, and then suddenly I couldn't. I turned the firewall off and enabled everything that I could for sharing on the PC. I can connect to the other PC on the network fine. I have tried using the connect to server and all of the different ways to enter the address in. When I ping the PC all of the responses are completely normal. I'm on OS X 10.8.3 and the PC I'm connecting to is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1. If you need any more details I'll try to provide them, that's all I can think of right now.

I called Apple today... It turned out to be my modem/router.

I have tried downloading about 10 times: every time I fail. When I try to open the the sitre - all I get is the ASK page and not Firefox and therefore cannot cd

Over the past 8 months I have had problems!
First a cannot send anything via Thunderbird so erased it because no-one solved the problem for me
I keep re-downloading Firefox and today again for the tenth time! The trouble is I do NOT get the Firefox start search page but a thing called ASK and it is of no value to me when I want to follow your instructions for Firefox!!!!!what on earth is going on?
I have Windows 2003 32-bit -I think this is what it says!-because it is easy ti use and I am satisfied with it! Is this relevant?
So help please because I heard your system is the best.
thank you

If there is a problem with the about:home Home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
* Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar
* Type in the Filter bar: mstone
* Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
* Close and restart Firefox

I get this message when I try to publish:Can't create the file "get-attachment.aspxuid=1.jpg." The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.

Any tips on how to backtrack to figure out the problem?
Thanks!

Just had this same problem. Based on other suggestions I found on the web, went to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and deleted all files that ended with upgrade and/or delete. Then I was able to uninstall Firefox and then reinstalled. Hope this helps!
