The beach ball will not go away. It is acting as the cursor in all open programs. I know summer starts this week but this is ridiculous!
The beach ball will not go away. It is acting as the cursor in all open programs. I know summer starts this week but this is ridiculous!
thanks Denise
This just happened here twice to. Was working in Photoshop CC on my Cintiq HD24 Touch when the cursor turned into a static beach ball. First time i ended up rebooting (really annoiying). Second time i opened Chrome to google this bug. Somewhere in the process of searching information my cursor changed back to an arrow???
Using Mavericks on a rMBP mid 2012, Photoshop CC and a Wacom Cintiq HD24 Touch. Did not experience this before working on the Cintiq.
Just letting you know.

The message "iPad Not Backed Up" appears on the screen and will not go away, even after I push the "OK" button. What can I do?

my 3 year-old macbook pro is very slow. I have run disk utility and virus scan with no improvement. The "beach ball" will spin for minutes at a time when opening, closing or changing windows. Apple Store looked at it a few months ago with no help. What can I do?
Under CPU: 3.5% user; 5% system; 91% idle; 441 threads; 90 processes.
Under System: out of 2GB - 54.7MB free; 530MB wired; 603MB active; 862MB inactive; 1.95GB used.
Is too much of the system memory tied up? If so, what can I do to free some up? -
The ringer box will not go away
The ringer box will not go away on my ipad 2. I have reset to default settings. I have turned it off, I have pushed the home button and the off button to turn it off, it remains on and on as loud as it can go. I let the battery die, still stayed on. No matter what I do it still stays on right in the middle of the screen. Any ideas?
if you did all that, thats what i would tell you to do. If you have a recent backup, I would restore it to the recent backup by plugging in the ipad to itunes, clicking on the ipad on the left hand bar, right clicking the name of the ipad, and selecting restore from back up. Then select the most recent backup from the list that pops up. Click restore, and that should restore to the most recent back up's state. Hope fully this works! Do this at your own risk, I am not responsible if anything bad happens. If you follow these instructions, it will only restore to most recent backup. Depending on when you had the last backup, you may lose some info/apps/files/music. But you can still get them in the app store for free if you bought apps.

I rented a movie in iTunes and connected my iPad to transfer the movie to the iPad. The rental section will not pop-up and I have confirmed the movie is not an HD movie. Any suggestions on what to do next?
I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

I installed an Extreme in place of an old Express, the various phones and Ipads seem to work on the WiFi but the Mac itself will not connect. It says something about the IP address being used by another device. Second wifi network was also created. The Mac worked for a few minutes and then gaev up citing eth IP problem......any clues people??
If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to perform a complete network power cycle.......to give everything a fresh start.
Power off every device on the network.....computers, printers, hard drives, etc......in any order that you want
Wait a full minute
Start the modem, and let it run by itself for 2-3 minutes
Start the next device connected to the modem and let it run a full minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
Check the network -
The audio icon will not go away'
The volume control icon shows up in the middle of my screen for no reason and will not go away. Any ideas?
Did you try....?
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 logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
Why do I get the beach ball, and other weird behavior, while downloading songs from the cloud?
I created a smart playlist to filter out my matched and purchased songs that were less than 256kbps. I then "select all" (or do them in small chunks this way) and delete the tracks, move them to trash (not from icloud) and then select all again and download the better quality versions.
Many, many times it runs fine for a bunch of tracks and then all of a sudden it locks up with the beachball.
I've had to re-start my mac a few times. Three times I've had it treat me like this was the first time I've opened itunes. Had to accept the licensing agreement and re-start itunes match. Other times it did not make me do this all over again.
Based on stuff I read on the boards I tried deleting the itunes preference file in my user library. Hasn't stopped the beach ball.
I don't understand why it runs for a bunch of tracks and then just locks up.
Maybe I'm not removing all of the plist files I should but I thought so.
Any advice?
Thanks.Disk Utility has two things (at least my old version does), First Aid and Permissions. If your drive reports problems when verifying with FA then you have to boot from another drive to try to repair. Permissions can run on active boot disk. Run FA before Permissions.
On occasion I have had FA report problems when verifying on my active boot disk and I think it was because files were changing and it was seeing errors that weren't really there. I frequently verify my active drive (quit all applications) and have it report all-clear so usually I verify the active drive and only verify externally if I see an issue.
On the beachball issue, how long do you let it go before force quit? Some things just take a long time to process, and smartlists can be a pretty heavy demand in iTunes. -
On a mac the type tool will not display when i double click on the type button in the layers panel
The type tool will not display. So I can't change text format.
Thank you for your response. I am using PSE version 11, OS 10.9.4.
I figured out the issue. The Text Tool was displayed but it was off the bottom of the screen. I had to resize the window from the bottom to display the Text Tool. To do so I had to move the dock to the left and then learn that by using the Option key it is possible to change window size on both edges.
Problem solved, thank you. -
When I open aperture a pop up appears that tells me that my mobil me photos will be moved. When I click OK, nothing happens and I have left it for hours. I can not get rid of the pop up and I can not get out of aperture. I have to force the computer to shut down. Any thoughts?
Quit Aperture - force quit if necessary (or try this:
If Aperture is unresponsive, how to avoid force quitting?
Launch Aperture again. When the panel appears, press the "Learn more" button, not o.k.
Then use the "File > Web Accounts > Manage Web Accounts" menu entry from Aperture's main menu bar and remove "MobileMe" from the list of accounts in the accounts pane by pressing "-".
If the above does not work, disconnect the internet (Wi-fi, Ethernet, whatever you have), before you launch Aperture again. Now the panel should no longer appear.
Also sign out of MobileMe in the System Preferences Mobile Me tab, to stop the panel to appear again.
Good luck

The browser bar will not go away.
It stays on top of the current website and prevents access. I tried changing default browser settings, but this did not change things.
I have the exact same problem too.
The loading icon is in the top bar when i am on the homescreen. It happens on wi-fi and data, if i turn off both conecctions the icon go away but if i turn them on, the icon comes back.
Its like a backup or something is uploading. I think is related to the app store cause it happens sometimes when i download an app, plus the only way i can stop tha icon to load on the top bar is restarting.
I think its a bug from iOS 7. -

I just want my phone to work and I do not understand why it wont charge and why it wont work without the charger.
Hi tbolibruch,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone will not power on without the charger, please follow the steps below.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

I have an Ipod Classic, 80 gig. It's over 3 years old. I have a Samsung SensR410 laptop, also over 3 years old, running Vista Home Premium 32bit but '64bit Compatible'
I had iTunes 8.
One day my Ipod stopped working.
I formatted it.
I uninstalled iTiunes.
I re-installed iTunes.
But the latest version would not be loaded on my PC. I chose English as the language, but because I bought my laptop in Korea, some parts of the installation were in Korea. I uninstalled it, following the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
I re-installed iTunes 8. It loaded, but when I plugged in my Ipod, it said that the Ipod needed to be updated/restored, 'click to contact updater' but then it could not contact the server. I tried: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814but it didn't help.
I tried downloading iTunes 9, it loaded, but the Ipod would not connect.
Help, please!Hi Edward,
You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.
