Welcome to Apple Discussions Dathanb
You have posted in the Feedback About New Discussions forum.
As you are a first time poster, you seem to have missed the text at the top of this forum that says:
Please Read This Before Posting Here
If your question concerns a hardware or software technical issue, please do not post in this forum
Go to the main Apple Discussions page, select an appropriate product category and follow the links until you reach the correct forum for your post, then click the POST NEW TOPIC link. Because your post doesn't indicate was OS you are using on your iMac, I can't give you a link to the most appropriate forum.
Basically, though, the version of TechTool on the AppleCare disks is not compatible with newer versions of OS X and/or Macs (I can't remember which). If you don't get a satisfactory response by posting in the appropriate iMac or OS X forum, I suggest you take your iMac to the geniuses at the Apple Store. You can set up an appointment time for the same day online before you leave home.

cant receive or send messages on my iPad. Keep getting "message failed to send" and it is green instead of blue. This happened after I turned on iCloud on my iPhone. Would that have anything to do with this problem? It's like its not sincing to my phone but I can send & receive emails ok.
iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
Message Colors
Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
Green is SMS (Carrier service)
What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4) -
I was watching something on my iPad then it suddenly turned off I put it in charge and it turned back on then showed the home screen then turns back off quickly so I can't restore it
Hi there iPad 3rd Generation,

My iphone is disabled and have tried the only passcode I have, to no avail. Cannot turn off the Find Iphone because I can't get into my phone.
So, you're not talking about trying to turn on the iphone using your passcode, but are talking about the phone being disabled from having used Find My iPhone to put it in lost mode - right?
Read through this article to find if your device has an activation lock.

If this is what you have - the news is bad:

My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?
Anything is possible.

got a new wireless connection for my mac and cannot figure out how to delete the last connection service I had. Everytime I shut the computer, the network goes back to the other one. I cannot find the file ANYWHERE
Under Network Preferences, select the WiFi
click on "Advanced..." button
Select the network you want to delete from the list and click on "-"
Click "Ok"
Click "Apply"
Well done ;-)
You may also want to delete the wireless key from Keychain.
Open Keychain, seach for the old wifi network name, slect it and click delete -
Hi when I stream video content to my Tv using Apple tv from my Ipad3 I find the Ipad goes to sleep after 2/3 minutes and disconects, the only way I have found to stop this is to continually tap the Ipad screen but there has to be a simpler method/ any help would be most welcome.

Due to problems with my original email I changed my apple id email and password months ago. Suddenly it is reverting to my old email. How do I get it to totally forget the original? I have iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro.
Hey 1Jerry,
Thanks for the question. You'll want to delete and re-add your iCloud account (utilizing the new Apple ID address). When prompted, opt to keep as much information on your device as possible. The following article provides information on how to do so:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
Is anyone having an issue with the App Store since upgrading to ios 5? I have iphone 4S and upgraded two weeks ago to ios 5, and yesterday I tried to access the App Store and could only get Genius and Updates....no App Store and couldn't search or go to Catagories in App Store!
I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -

Apps suddenly won't open. Anyone having this problem?
I have a new iphone 4. Has been great until today - my apps suddenly won't open. All built-in apps are fine. None of the apps I've added will open - they flash open for an instant, and close again. Software is up to date, there are no app updates. I have tried restarting apps, have restarted the phone, have removed and reinstalled a few apps - same problem, nothing working. Anyone know how to fix this?
Did you try to reset your phone by holding the sleep and home button until you see the Apple logo?

Outlook 2010 suddenly cannot find or is timing out with email servers and pop3 accounts.
ISP says DNS is fine . No proxys enabled. Have reset routers already
Hi,
Please try to increase the server time-out setting to check if the issue will be resolved. To do this, please follow:
1. Start Outlook.
2. On the Files menu, click Info >
Account Settings > Account Settings
3. Click to select the target POP3 account, and then click Change.
4. Click More Settings.
5. Click the Advanced tab.
6. Gradually increase the server time-out setting until the issue is resolved.
If the problem persists, please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel to check if it helps. Please refer to the KB article below which described a similar situation:

Hope this helps.

I was suppose to buy an audiobook but ended up buying the book which I thought was the audiobook. Since I'm having to purchase 2 books(and I only need the audiobook) can I get a refund on the book? How exactly does that work? Or does that work at all?
Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Or you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
I upgraded to ios6. Now the location options do not work (under privacy settings). I can only access "find my iphone". I am using a number of apps that use this function. Is this because of the default switch to apple maps?
Is there no way to geolocate images anymore, using the camera on the iphone?You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
