Suddenly Mini Mac Does Not Work in GMail

I have not encountered this problem previously -- my Mac Mini freezes on my gmail page, every time I access gmail and sign on. I get the "lollipop of doom," the spinning rainbow disc. Next Mac Mini won't kill the page, and I end up having to both unplug my Ethernet cable and reboot the computer.
What is going on here, and how do I address this problem? This has happened every time I am on gmail for a couple of days, and I cannot use gmail, as a result.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the Mac Mini forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
 Cheers, Tom

Mini player does not work, can only switch playlists by closing and restarting iTunes

For the last few versions of iTunes, my mini player does not work, only choices are large window and larger window. Also, if I am listening to a playlist and hit the pause button, then switch to another playlist, the old playlist keeps playing when I hit play. The only way I can figure out to switch playlists is to quit and relaunch iTunes.

try rebooting the ipad
you know holding down the on button and the home button until the slider comes
and turn it off and start it up again

I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

Taking Z1 back to shops!! going back to Apple: Sony Bridge for Mac does not work

Been an Iphone owner. really, really wanted to try a good android phone, and the z1 looked the best. However
I have had the most frustrating experience- this junky bridge software looks slick but it simply does not work on a mac .
I have spent nearly a week mucking around on forums, reading technical 'get arounds' this is a £600 phone and its not good enough. It might be Apples fault for being so locked down, but sony should not claim it works when it has so many issues.
1) it spent 3 days trying to load my media. It eventually got stuck on 10 min remaining. I pulled the cable.
no contacts had even been added, however 1/2 the photos have, but they are a little jumbled up from when they were on my iphone.
2) i try to download the lastest sony for Mac update 3 times- it cant even do this and gets stuck
3) i then try to update the z1 with the latest software, again this also it gets stuck and hangs. OMG how can i update my software, do i have to buy a PC to go with the phone.
im annoyed now and cant play with my new phone
4) connect phone again and just ask it to do my notes, messages and contacts. This seems to work , but all the messages to my Girfriend are completley missing?? why?
5) i try to load a few folders, the pictures on the bridge pop up window seem to freeze , ai cant even drag these across, the same happens with my music
6) i have a lot of photos on my mac form my iphone 3000. If i choose to load them it only allows me to load all of them and not browse.
can i avoid bridge and view my z1 as a drive? also why wont any of the software update?
the next thing is it seems to have infected teh mac, the new version f itunes will not install correctly!! this is very unusual.
some one please helpme before i rant in my blog!

Hi Inventsc,
I apologize for the late answer. I'm sorry you haven't had a pleasant experience using Bridge. We are aware of the problems you mention and are working on it. As mentioned, you can connect your phone in MSC (mass storage mode). To do this, disconnect the phone, find USB connectivity settings and set it to MSC mode before plugging it in again.
Again, I am sorry it's not working properly for you.
Best Regards,
David

Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

hello!
i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:

Syncing mail between macs does not work (go daddy account)

I upgraded to Lion on both - my Mac Pro and Macbookpro. I have a go daddy mail account that I switched recently from pop to - imap. I had already problems when I set it up the port numbers that godaddy provided - mail did not work at all (receiving or sending). I am using now "default port" no SSL for outgoing server and in advanced 143, no SSL. I am able to send and receive emails but since I upgraded to Lion syncing does not work well. For example I delete an email on the macpro and it still shows up on the laptop. I read in the forum and changed settings ( like uncheck "move/store deleted messages", changed ports back and forth) still not working. Am also using an ipad and 2 iphones but the computers are priority.
Support from apple told me it is not their problem. Go daddy says the same.

Gmail has its own application you can install to access your Gmail account - it's really good, and will let you view by inbox/starred/labels etc.
Well worth getting:
Gmail Mobile
Not sure whether it works with the E61, but it's worth a try - I really do much prefer it to the pop3 access that's built in for gmail

Mini DVI does not work in windows

I have no problem using the Mini DVI adapter in OSX but when I go into windows it does not work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The only reason why I use windows is for the TVUplayer, which currently has no version for OSX

When you boot into Windows, you need to change graphics options to tell the OS to output to the External monitor. On the macbook is the intel GMA950 graphics chip and it comes with intel software when you install the drivers. If you go to control panel in Win XP, there is an intel section in there. You can then set the options to output to an external monitor either mirrored or extended desktop, and it will remember and do what you selected each time you boot into windows

Maverick's Mail does not work with Gmail ! it works better with iOS 7

For info.
I do know how it's complex to program and more for an OS System.
Maverick's Mail DOES NOT work proprely with Gmail boxes ? Gmail incoming or outcoming messages are correctly notified on my iPhone 5s with iOS 7. But not on my Macbook Pro retina (end 2012) with Mavericks. One update was suppose to solve the trouble.
Hope you'll solve the problem as soon as possible. Bur not during the nights. But during your daytimes' work !
Wish you nice end of year's days.
And please get my best wishes for 2014. Hope you'll get a lot of these nice little moments of happiness.
Best regards.

Have you checked your incoming and outgoing mail server settings?
If you are using IMAP, it should look something like the following:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL:Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Use same settings as incoming mail server
If you are using POP3, it should look something like the following:
Incoming mail server type: POP3
Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server: pop.gmail.com. Google Apps users, enter the server name provided, don't add your domain name in these steps.
Port: 995
Outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) name: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Outgoing server requires authentication: enabled

BB desktop for Mac Does not work Curve and G5 OSX 10.5

The RIM software simply does not work very well. I will keep it to update software, but as a product to sync my data between my BB and my 2 macs, it simply does not do what is needed.
Sync did not move the Address Book groups data over. The groups moved to the BB, but the groups were empty. Most of the address book contacts did have the group information in each file, but I could not filter by group as each group was empty. Also, a disturbing number of entries were duplicated, with the duplicated entries missing the group information.
The sync from the iCal application did not seem to go very well either as I received error messages on my Mac.
I am disappointed that RIM would not have a 32 bit version available for OS 10.2 - 10.5 and a 64 bit version for 10.6
I am surprised and disappointed that RIM would release a product with less functionality than the Mark/Space offering, and have a lack of bluetooth syncing.
I have gone back to "The Missing Sync" as that product does work and their support is very good. Unfortunately I had to play around with setting up a test account with no data in iCal and Address Book to zero out the errors that the RIM product put into my BB. I then had to do a second overwrite, this time with my main Mac account and my iCal and Address Book data.
My BB is back to running and syncing, but not on the RIM software.
I hope that RIM will revisit the Mac software and provide a product that answers the needs of the Mac community.

Downloading "devicetool.jar" to my Mac does not work

I just received the palm pixi plus, it is from at&t, but I need it Unblocked because I live abroad and have no data plan in the USA, so I'm following the instruction from:
https://developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/developing_on_an_unactivated_device.html
    Download the activation-bypass tool, which is available here, and save it in the location of your choice.
    Boot your device into recovery mode, as described above.
    Run the activation-bypass tool from the command line by issuing the following command: java -jar devicetool.jar
When I download the devicetool.jar to my MacBook, it does not work, it download as a folder, and I cannot run the activation-bypass tool
How can I solve this issue?
Is it a problem of the devicetool.jar for the Mac?
Post relates to: HP Veer p160una (AT&T)

Hi, thanks for your answer. YES I do have JAVA SE6 in my MacBook, and once I download the devicetool.jar it opens with a Jar Launcher (13.6.0) and the StuffIt Expander, but opens as a Folder (with 3 folders inside: com, org, META-INF) and I cannot execute the devicetool.jar
Sounds like StuffIt Exander is opening the file. I don't own a Mac, so I don't know how to do this, but can you force the file to open with another application (maybe control clicking on it and selecting Open With) Then choose the Jar Launcher?

HT2534 Why does my password change after it was set and then 10 min latter does not work

Can you conirm why my login to Itune now does not work with any od the store purchase, I want to BUY but it does not work
Do we have to have two password for the same email address Stor and Ituns?

The same password should work whether it's authorising the account on your computer's iTunes, signing in to view the account, or buying/re-downloading items from the store with it. What happens when you try to buy something ? Have you tried signing out (Store > Sign Out menu option) and signing back in and seeing if it then works ?

Mini mac does not have room to run all app or upgrade

Help please. My mini mac is telling me that I do not have enough room to upgrade or run all my apps. Can I upgrade something inside the drive and if I can, can I just go to the Apple store and have that done?
We purchased the mini mac Christmas 2008 and I have added final cut but nothing else. I do have an awful lot of photos in iphoto, would it help me to backup those onto a external drive then delete those items for more space? I'm taking about 4,000+/- photos and 253 events.

When I was working in itunes a message popped up telling me there was a problem saving the itunes library. When I attempt to upgrade I receive the message:
"Your hard disk does not have enough space. 2.8 GB is required to download and install the updates. Extra space is required for the optimization process. To free up space, remove files from your start up disk, then try again."
I have one movie in final cut and its approx 14 minutes. There are 4 unpublished movies in imovie and 2 published.
What type of firewall external harddrive do you recommend? I have 2 WD passports for storage.

Mac mail not working with gmail 2 step verification in yosemite

Every couple of days my 2 step verification seems to drop off the mac mail (and calendar) radar. Ive been using mac mail with 2 step verification (gmail account) for about 8 months, no problems. About 1 month ago my mac started asking for my gmail password. I have revoked and regenerated my password about 6 times recently to try to overcome this issue. The new password works for a couple of days and then mail and calendar start asking from my password again.

Not quite a reply, but I'm not sure how best to add to my first comment.
One of the issues with this (and there are multiple) is that I can't use handoff to work on something on my mac, started on my ipad, if it is working through my gmail account eg notes, calendar, email.
This bug is totally crippling the productivity and flexibility that came with ios8/yosemite developments.

.mac does not work with domain name

I used Iweb 08 to host my domain name from godaddy.com.
Godaddy account is: http://www.eyalphotography.com/
.mac web page is: http://web.mac.com/enahmias
I published to .Mac and went through the personal domain name procedure (using .Mac account settings and godaddy CNAME) so now .Mac is my host and I don't upload anything to godaddy. Updates are made to .Mac. but even after 4 days when trying to go to http://www.eyalphotography.com/ I still get this message: “Safari can’t open the page “http://www.eyalphotography.com/” because it can’t find the server “www.eyalphotography.com”. If I go to http://web.mac.com/enahmias no problems.
I want my page updated to http://www.eyalphotography.com/ that is the whole point of doing the cname and forwarding my domain. People should just go www.eyalphotography.com and done.. not web.mac.com/eyalphotography etc.. it beats the purpose of this thing.
So any solutions why it’s not working?

Here is a step by step on how it finally worked for me.
1. From Iweb choose domain name
2. when logged to .mac click on domain name
3. If you have any troubled name there just remove it.
4. Create a new domain name and follow instructions until it says to go to your domain registrar and continue later
5. Log to godaddy.com
6. Under the Domains menu click on My domain names
7. Click on your domain name that you want to change cname for .mac
8. On the top third of the page in the middle click on Total DNS Control and MX Records
9. On the page that opens in the cnames section click on the Reset to default setting
10. Wait a few minutes, and then refresh the page. Then on the same section under www. click on the pencil icon to edit the cname
11. Leave www. alone and on the next line type: web.mac.com and ok the changes.
12. Log out of godaddy
13. Return to the .mac domain name dialogue box and finish according to the prompts.
14. Go back to iweb and republish ALL to .mac
15. In my case it took only a few hours and after 2 weeks of frustration it worked as magic.
Good luck
