Terminal.app takes up CPU 100% and can't seem to launch
I have OSX10.5.1 installed on my iMac.
I've been using it without any significant problem since upgrade to Leopard.
But all of sudden, the BIG problem.
When I tried to run Terminal.app, the terminal window does not poped up for a long time.
I checked iStat on my dashboard, and the Terminal.app was taking up 100% of CPU.
I could not believe my eyes.
So, I double-checked using top, which I was able to start by using xterm.
It was true. Terminal.app was possessing CPU about 100%.
I did not do anything but my routine stuff.
Anyone has a clue about what is going on my Leopard?
Any small hint will be appreciated.
Thanks.
I have just rebooted the system and now I can launch Terminal.app.
It is anyway resolved.
Shame on Leopard.
Rebooting is just as Windows-ish solution to a problem.

I have a new ipad and everything works but can't connect to the app store. Itunes works and the wifi seems to be working but i get a blank white screen when i open the appstore. Nothing will load unter the features or charts tab so i cant download any apps. Purchased and updates tab loads fine. Any suggestions?
You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day! -
When I try to open a spreadsheet on my Mac that I worked on with my iPhone, I get "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I go to the App store, it says I already have it. I have v. 2.3 and can't seem to download newer version.
If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

How do I get the iTunes festival to play on my Apple TV in the evening, as I work during the day and can't watch it at 4:00pm? I have the app installed on my iPad and can't get it to play!
I haven't received an answer. I hope someone can answer this because it's an ongoing problem that I can't play some CDs on my MacBook Air (see my original post for the details). Anyone? Please? Thanks in advance!

?Why is redesigned App Store Charts so lame and can I get that developers job
Why is redesigned App Store Charts so lame and can I get that developers job? Cannot read app name, lame presentation, cannot read app developer name, how sorted - have not seen anything new since iOS6 upgrade, app store revenues must be declining for advanced users.
You should be able to download and use the additional loops without a problem, but it works not always smoothly. And there have been different fixes that worked for different people. See this long thread if something will work in your case:
GarageBand '11 won't download additional loops: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15137750#15137750
Sometimes you simply need to reload the "Updates" tab of the AppStore using ⌘R after signing in with your AppleID and starting the download. -
I just purchased a book on app store and can't seem to read it in iBooks, and keeps on coming up with "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing" what do I do?
Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logou appears and let go of the button.
Or try deleting the book and download it again. You can download it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
If that doesn't work either, sometimes deleting the iBooks app and reinstalling it may work. But art with the first two suggestions. -
Apps will not finish loading and can't delete them also
Apps will not finish loading and can't delete them also
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
No data is lost due to a reset. -
I have just bought an iPad mini and can't seem to transfer one of my apps of my iPhone 5. How do I do this?
first time you connect it to the computer you sync the iphone with it should ask if you want to setup the ipad as a new device or restore it with a backup of another ios device
if you say yes the content of tne iphone will be put on the ipad
if you later one wish to do the same thing one can restore it by navigating to the ipad in itunes on the computer and choose to restore it there to the backup of the iphone
if you don't want to restore then you can just mark the apps in itunes you wish to sync to the ipad
if you don't sync with a computer then you can't be charged for an app more then once it's tied to your appleID and any attempt to buy it again will result in a free download
one can also access apps tied to the ios device under purchasees in the app store app -
How do I send an app to a friend. I can't seem to locate send as gift app option.
How do I send an app to a friend. I can't seem to locate send as gift app option
Currently the Mac App Store does not offer the ability to gift and app.
You can send someone who lives in the same country as you do and uses that country's Mac App Store an iTunes Gift Card* or an iTunes Electronic Gift Certificate* to cover the cost of the app you wish to give to them.
*If available in that country. -
Using iCal on my ipad2 and can't seem to create a repeating event, specifically, an appointment that occurs the second Wednesday of every month. Any help is greatly appreciated....thanks!
iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in. There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.

Hello, I have a Mac OS X, and can't seem to install the creative cloud, I get this pop-up message when I try
Er is geen programma ingesteld om de URL 'aam://?passPhrase=QDdPo8BTHv975B1B1f0x3anMggUxp4allBf lsm629RgGXV22ocIlQfI9TMW5vkteaQquFNIFB1uDwU18Z268e69Er6M8XCttQjvdYYdLJ9biyCRQF931 MyMPR0rGvrenZ0e2iougs4l9mlOAHDsfQEDOaqfVInflnZ9 FZSMc=' te openen.
So basically it said that I don't have a program to open it? I already had a trial version on my mac, but deleted it..YasmineH your web browser is blocking the installation of the AAM Detect plug-in. I would recommend using a different web browser or installing through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

How do I change my security questions? I forget them because I made them ages ago and can't seem to buy anything off my account without having to answer them?? Help
1. First, go to http://appleid.apple.com. Underneath where it says "Already have an Apple ID?," click Manage your Account. You will then need to sign in. If you forgot your Apple ID or password, click on the appropriate "Forgot..." link below either of these fields.
2. After you sign in, click on "Passwords and Security" on the left.
3. You will be asked to answer the security questions, but you should also notice a link below the second "Answer" field offering to send reset instructions to your rescue email address that you provided.
4. Check the Inbox of your rescue email address. The email should appear within a minute or two. If it does not, be sure to check Spam. If it is not there either, you can repeat the above process to resend. Once you get the email, following the link will take you to a page where you must sign in again. After doing so, you will have the option to choose three new security questions and answers, which you may want to write down
5. After you fill in the required information and continue, you should be taken to a confirmation screen stating "Your password and security information has been saved," and then you are done.
6. The "Forgot your answers?" link will not appear if you do not have a rescue email address set up. In that case you will need to contact iTunes Support, http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
7. If you still know the answers to your security questions, it is highly recommended you add a rescue email address. To do so, log in at appleid.apple.com and click on Password and Security. Answer the questions and then click on "Add Rescue Email Address:" -

How do you run apps on creative cloud? I can't seem to run them or see them on my desktop
Hi JasonLuong,
You will have to go to www.creative.adobe.com and login with your Adobe Id on which you have purchased the subscription.
You can go to the download center and then start downloading all the cc apps available. It will first download and install the Creative cloud desktop tool in your computer. This creative cloud desktop will show you the option to download all the CC programs, the updates, etc.
Thanks

I hope Apple considers inserting a SIM card into the Macbook Air. It will allow access to Net in absence of WiFi, the availability still remains confined to few spots. The 11" inch device will be a better bet than even the Ipad.
