The wife's emac keeps saying the Start Up Folder is nearly full. Huh?

I did a search for Start Up folder on her computer and nothing. Might this be related to the HD being nearly full? If so, is there software out there which can quickly show me what is taking up so much space on her computer? It's on OS 10.4.11.
Thanks.

Yes, itcan be that the startup drive is too full, you mughr need to delete a few GBs of files & empty the trash before you get any Software tp tell you.
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?

I changed email providers and and forgot my Apple ID so I had to start a new account, itunes allowed me to download the music from my old account but wont let me play any of the songs! It keeps saying the computer is not authorized. Help me please!!

How can I get my music to play.

Authorize the computer from the "Store" menu. You will have to use the Apple ID used to purchase the music.

Cannot download the apps and it keeps saying the app cannot be downloaded at this time

Every time I try to download free apps, it keeps telling me the app cannot be downloaded at this time. I tried to download the same app for 3days and it keeps telling me the same thing

Worked on my iPhone. Tried many methods which in support communities here. All failed (replaced hosts file, disable antivirus/firewall, on/off wifi, sign in/out itunes)
Finally there is a funny "unclick" let me successfully settled this issue. Make sure the option of "Automatically sync when this iphone is connected" is unclicked, at the time when iphone is connected to iTunes. It is the setting at iTunes iPhone Summary page. Hope this can help you so.

Have you tried using a different brand of optical disk? (You don't say whether you are doing CDs or DVDs.) Some are better than others.

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

What next any ideas, thanks?

Hi there...
Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2-Restart your Windows.
If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2- look for gs.apple.com
3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
4- Save the file and try restoring again.
Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
I hope this helps. It did for me

My itunes is not downloading correctly even after i uninstalled all software of apple keeps saying the registry is missing to import and burn cds??? it is not on a mac computer

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

I install Cuevana Plugin, but when i restar it keeps saying the plugin is not installed. I'm using easy peasy, similar to unguntu 10.4

On other installations of Ubuntu it worked fine. Now it does not.
When i try to watch a movie in cuevana I get a message that I need to install a plug in
I just download the Plug-in, the i see at the add-ons window under extentions a "Cuevana 30" entry. Then it says i have to restart firefox. I do, but when it restarts it keeps saying the bloody plug-in is not installed.
Thanks in advance !

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

We tried to install Adobe Premiere Element and it keeps saying the E drive is empty.

Adobe Premiere Elements 13.1 keeps saying the E drive is empty. We got around it by changing the name to another letter. Why did it do this?

ireneo
Please explain your question a bit further. Is the following your scenario?
1. You installed Adobe Premiere Elements 13 (on what computer operating system?) Assumed from installation disc and to the default location on the Local Drive C.
2. You are inserting your installation disc into the burner tray, the burner being the E drive? And, you get a message about empty E drive instead of the AutoPlay for
you to click on to start the installation path?
There is a known problem with Premiere Elements 13/13.1 where installation of this version generates a No Disc error. The fix for that is deleting or disabling the OldFilm.AEX
file in the path
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 13
Plug-ins
Common
NewBlue
and in the NewBlue Folder is the OldFilm.AEX file that you delete or disable by renaming it from OldFilm.AEX to OldFilm.AEXOLD.
What type of Blu-ray DVD burner or DVD/CD burner was involved in this situation - internal or external?

My phone keeps saying the storage is full so I deleted pictures, apps, and all my texts. Then after I do this my phone freezes and I have to restart it. When I restart my phone then everything I deleted comes back. What is going on?

HI Shelby,
It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Since the new iOS it keeps saying I've jail breaked my iPad but I have not done this

Since the new iOS it keeps saying I've jail breaked my iPad but I have not done this. Has anyone had this problem and how can I get rid of this?

You might try doing a restore using iTunes on a computer - make a backup of your content, then restore to factory condition then restore the content.
If that does not clear the problem, you can attach to the computer/iTunes using the DFU mode:
Power down the iPad.
Start iTunes on the computer and connect the USB end of the cable to the computer.
While holding the power button on the iPad connect the dock/lightning connector to the iPad and continue to hold the power button.
After three seconds keep holding the power button and start to hold the home button.
After ten seconds release the power button and continue holding the power button.
After twenty seconds more, release the home button.
You can now restore your iPad and see if that hasn't cleared the problem.
If that does not clear it, take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar for help.
