Strange problem please someone help!
My CS3 has been working fine untill today. When I try to import or go to file and open the dialog box briefly appears then it seems like it hides in the background. So I can't do anything but force it to close in task manager. This only happens in cs3 programs. Everything else functions normally. Anyone have any ideas? I tried rebooting, updating, nothing works. Thanks in advance
How many monitors are you using?
Does all of application disappear, or only the dialog? Is is still in the taskbar?
Try pressing Alt + Spacebar, then M, and see if you can move the dialog back onto the screen.
If it's still in the taskbar, does clicking on the button twice bring it forward?

Major iMac Problem, please someone help me!!
Hi everyone, I have a major problem with my iMac G5 and was wondering if anyone was any the wiser about what the problem could be. I’ll explain the problem I’m having the best I can.
My mac was sent in for repairs last week as it was displaying the symptoms of the Video/Graphics card Extension Repair Programme Apple announced. So I got my computer back after it had been repaired and everything was working fine.
Last night I was working on it as usual, and it just froze and came up with that greyed out screen where it says ‘You must restart your computer’ in several languages. I did this and then as it restarted, on the grey apple screen a bit of text which said what only I could make out as ‘Darwen Kernal Panic’ and a load of random text in the top left hand corner in black boxes popped up.
I have since tried to restart and sometimes it reaches the grey apple screen and only gets as far as that without saying I have to restart - or the computer will turn on but the screen will be black, if I leave it at this, the full fans will kick in after one min.
I have tried taking the extra 1GB memory I have installed and it pretty much does the same, so I don’t think it’s dodgy memory. I have also tried starting up from my installation cd’s but still have no luck as it wont start up from any cd’s. Is there anything I can do? I haven’t had my mac for months properly, as it always seems to be broken!
Please can someone help!! Thanks very much.
MarkMark, its the specific circumstances, with failure occuring so soon after the repair work, that makes me think its worth taking it back ASAP, rather than spending time trying to get it going.
In your case its quite possibly simply a re-assembly error (a loose connection that has come astray, for example) , or it could be a failed component on the replacement midframe (motherboard).
As far as your data goes, you could discuss with Apple the possibility of removing your HD and putting it in an external drive enlosure, to see whether you can access the data that way, before sending it in, though I suspect they will want to see the whole computer. (This sort of situation highlifghts the reason why I always suggest that peole buy an external drive for backup purposes at the same time they buy ANY computer - its far more useful than any utility software in a situation like this!)
Given the symptoms you describe before heading in to the repairers you could try:
1) a PRAM reset - hold downthe command option p r keys and start up the computer. Keep the keys depressed until the chimes have sounded three times
2) an SMU reset - on your model you need to press an internal button - see the second dot point of para 9 in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300908 (with later iMacG5's you simply remove the power cord for ten seconds or more to achieve this)
3) a "Safe Boot" - see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393 ((depending on the cause of your problems, this last one may or may not be possible)
Good luck

Ok one day out of the blue my ipod just stopped working it wouldnt turn on nothing but after recovering it, it's fine now but there is only one problem my screen wont work i can't do anything on it not even unlock it please someone help!!!!
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order -
Big problem installing... Please someone help :-(
Ok I started up the bootcamp assistant (with my windows xp disc already in the MacBook) and continued to partition the drive as shown on the video demonstration on the apple website. I believe I gave it 80gb for windows and the rest of the 250gb to the mac. I believe this was about 70gb. Now once the partitioning was done the windows installer automatically came up without me pressing anything. It went through a short installation process on a blue screen and came up with the option to choose a partition.
This is where I realised there was an issue. There was only one option present for the partitions. This partition was called partition 1 and had around 120gb all of which was available. I thought this didn't look correct so I quit out. A warning came up saying that the installation wasn't complete. Now when I start the mac is goes to a plane black screen. If I start it up holding the alt key it only displays one hard drive named windows.
I am now very worried all my stuff stored on the mac is is gone. Can someone please explain what I did wrong because I didn't format the drive or anything and so did not delete anything at all on the hard drive. I feel like everything should be there but I can't get into it. Putting in my os install disc didn't help at all. Please someone help!I think its that its tried to install it on my initial partition for some reason. But like I said I did not even go far enough to choose a partition. It did some installation stuff on the blue screen without me pressing a single button. The minute it wanted me to pick a partition and then format it I realised there was something wrong and backed out. I have no idea why it is now coming up as windows. My main question really is: is there anyway to get it back to what it was? I would really appreciate any help on this matter as I feel a bit out of my depth
NOTE: I realise it was ridiculous of me to do it without first backing up all my data, however the video made it look fool-proof and also I only was planning at that point to create the partition first. But as soon as I created the partition the blue screen came up and it started to install. I pressed nothing at all at that point, and it didnt take very long so I couldnt see how it would delete all my data.

why is "erase junk mail" de-highlighted in the drop down menus. I'm not able to delete my junk mail box without doing each one individually. Simple, but please someone help with an answer. Thanks.
My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

hey iphone an iphone 3g and i only have about 13 apps and the yellow bar on itunes for my phone is way to big i deleted all my photos all my music every thing i ryed restoring ans all it still takes up space for sum reason ?? please someone help me
If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted. The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

25k Limit in iTunes Match? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!
I have been collecting music steadily for almost 25 years now. In 2009, before selling them on eBay, I had over 2,000 CDs in my collection. At that point I ripped them all into iTunes and stored the files on an external drive. I have continued to steadily collect music since then...ripping CDs borrowed from friends, free (and legal) downloads, bit torrent concert DLs from places like Archive.org and yes, many purchases from the iTunes store.
Currently I have 45,962 songs, weighing in at just shy of 264 GB. I have a 260 GB iPod Classic which I LOVE, but unfortunately outgrew quite some time ago (260 actually means 241 or so). Needless to say, I have very eclectic taste in music, and one thing I LOVE to do is listen to my ENTIRE collection on shuffle. I also have 30-or-so playlists which I add tracks to as they come up on shuffle. Once I reached the limit on my iPod, I set it to only sync checked songs and began systematically unchecking songs I don't like or like "not-as-much." This worked fine for some time, but I am all out of files to "uncheck" (I tend to only buy music I like). Additionally, I now need to quickly uncheck a bunch of files every time I get new music, if I want to listen to it on my iPod. For some time I held onto some hope that Apple would put out a 320 GB Classic, but sadly that is never going to happen.
I have a 16 GB iPhone 5, but storing music in that would be ridiculous.
Since getting my Mac, I have a renewed passion for my iTunes library and music collection (not-so-fun with semi-functional PCs). I am finally able to organize my library like I like to, and would LOVE to be able to access it remotely. A friend recently told me to check out iTunes Match, which reads like Storybook Fantasy in its description. Imagine my disappointment to learn that there's a 25k song limit! Tracks purchased from iTunes don't count toward the 25k, but I am not about to start re-buying 90% of my music just to use iTunes Match. I purchased a 3T WD My Cloud, hoping that would solve the issue, but apparently Apple's proprietary restrictions prevent the iTunes server from streaming remotely on my device using this service.
I read here in the forums, someone's instructions on how to essentially have TWO libraries, scaling one down to 25k...WHAT? I'd be better off just sticking with my Classic, which fits around 33k songs!
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP...Does anyone out there know of any way to accomplish what I want to do? I want to be able to access and play my entire music library (about 46,000 songs and growing), through iTunes (playlists, play count intact), through an app on my phone.
I own the following equipment:
(Late 2014) 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (running OS Yosemite)
260 GB iPod Classic
16 GB iPhone 5 (running iOS 8.1.2)
WD 3T My Book
WD 3T My Cloud
Thank you. Please help. Thank you.

Why is it nonsense?
iCloud Drive storage is not the same as iTunes match. ITunes Match does not store your music but matches with what's on the Apple servers and uploads non matched music.

Where shall I start?
The music that is uploaded to iTunes Match (as you mentioned) is stored in iTunes Match. If it is not then where exactly is it? User uploaded tracks are subject to a 25,000 limit. There is no limit to the amount of iTunes purchased music.
All music stored in Match (either uploaded by you or purchased from iTunes by you) is available for streaming or download to an IOS or OSX device (Windows may be download only)
It's nonsense because it is almost entirely incorrect. -

Mic wont work please someone help!
I've Creative Webcam Live Pro, and my mic wont work. I used the installation CD(webcam CD), and I tried plugging the outlet in the mic slot, and line in slot, but it still wont work. I went to the sound recording program that is installed in the XP, and it wont work. Please someone help I need to make it work.
Make sure you plug the microphone into the mic jack on your sound card.
Depending on what audio card you have, you will need to set the recording source to microphone in the audio settings. (Start, Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, Volume Control, Options, Properties, Select Recording Source.) You might also selecting Mic Boost if there is an option.
Once the Mic is selected as the recording source, change back to playback (Volume Control, Options, Properties, Playback Control) and for now, make sure the microphone setting is not muted. Once that is done, try talking into the microphone to see if you can hear yourself over your speakers. If you can, then it's all set. If not, contact the company who makes your Sound card and verify the settings for enabling your microphone and specifically, what types of microphone and what range will work best (ex 600 ohmz) -
