THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING- NEED HELP- ERRATIC BEHAVIOR
I have an iMac G5 with Power PC processor. I recently installed Leopard OS and an additional 2 GB memory card, so, now my computer is at max operating level. Here are a few weird things happening: there are several Excel spreadsheets on the desktop I use daily. They used to be icons surrounded by a green frame to indicate they were Excel documents, now, they start out that way when the computer boots up but then they change to white documents with XLS and a corner of the page icon is flapped over. Is that what they are supposed to look like in Leopard? Hmm. The weirdest most frustrating thing of all is that when I use Safari to browse or play games on facebook, the computer auto sleeps or shuts down completely. If I use the restart command, iMac just shuts down. When I run disk utility, I get a disk permissions message that states: ACL found but not expected on "Applications/Utilities." What the heck are all of these things and any ideas?
check the disc, does it say something about intel processors or power pc processors?
i never installed mac os on a pc but im doing the best i can to help you.

My Mac will not allow me to downlode the latest iTunes and now I can not connect my phone and computer. THis is very frustrating! HELP!!!
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Even my 12 year old Mac lets me download the newest iTunes. Of course I can't install it but any computer can download the installer files so we need to know precisely what you are trying and what error messages you are seeing. -

Rob I am sorry I didn't mean to cause any problems, it is just that I was having so many difficulties with my purchase and I couldn't get any help. I tried to chat with someone and your system told me that I didn't have that option or something like that. I couldn't find contact telephone numbers either. I finally got to chat with someone that helped me, but that was at the very end. Anyways, I figured things out. I apologize for being so rude and referring that I hate Adobe. I actually don't, I just didn't like it that I couldn't contact anyone for help.

Whenever I connect my 4th generation iPod thouch, all of the playlists on my iPod get deleted. This is very frustrating. Someone please help me? I searched the settings on iTunes and couldn't find anything.
Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

Why is my location city changed by Firefox to a town I don't live in? I put in my zip code in the weather info and it will not hold it no matter what I do. This is very frustrating and never a problem in the past. IE doesn't have the problem. Can anyone help?
1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize? To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
2) What are your sequence settings? Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify. -
Hi, Have updated iphone from 4.3 and had to do a restore which has now rendered my phone useless as it say the sim is not valid. I am in Colombia and this is very frustrating as I cannot just pop to the apple store here. Please Help...
Sounds like you have a phone that was hacked to unlock it. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them.

Run the 10.5.8 Combi Updater again, then reboot your Mac.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:

Downloaded IOS 7 and now I do not have a dictionary in iBook. This is very frustrating. What can be done to fix this issue?
I've got to agree with Allan. It sounds like the hard drive is corrupt at least. It's possible it might be physically failing. Without backups, it's possible your data is already gone. You need a professional to help you.
If you do not have an Apple Store near you or simply don't have the time to spare, there are some things you can try, but you must understand that it's possible these things could make the chances of recovering your data worse than they already are. Perform the instructions to follow at your own risk!
First, you can try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility. If that works, see if you can start up the machine. If you can, the very first thing you need to do is back up any data you don't want to lose. You may still need to take other steps, as your system may be damaged as well, but getting the data is the important part.
If Disk Utility cannot repair the problems, you can try DiskWarrior. It can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, it also increases the risk of destroying your data if it fails. If it works and you can start up the machine, do the same as I advised for following success with Disk Utility.
If repairs (with either) were successful, but the machine still won't start up, you can try reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup and then just install right on top of the existing system. If all goes well, you'll be able to start up afterwards and can get your data backed up. If all goes badly, it'll further decrease the chances of getting your data back.
If neither can repair the damage, you're in bad shape. You will need a professional to help you, unless you are willing to lose all your data. -
I have been trying to log onto the Wounded Warriors Program Portal. I can Log in and then when I click on the rewards it tried to go to the page the just takes me back to the same page I was on. This is very frustrating. I am new to the Mac World so please bare with me. Please tell me there is help somewhere for this issue. It seems it is blocked or not letting me through. Can anyone please help me out. Thanks
Both Mail and Safari have Activity Options that open a screen that shows you just how the site or mail is loading.
In Safari if you are having trouble with a site in activity you will see the count of items being downloaded - and if an error occurs it shows red.
On the top is the number of items it is loading or trying to load and the count should be increasing. If the count stops, and you don't have errors it may be that too many people are going after the same site and your request just timed out. Have had the time out on a news site when trying to load a most popular article. -
Ever since I downloaded this latest version, my browser is not loading the page. Says can't find the server error. This is very frustrating and slow. What should I do.
That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

My iPhone is skipping back to the start of a song every time I unlock it, especially when I am replying to a text message, this is very frustrating and just want to know if it is a simple bug that will be dealt with in the next update?
Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
Restart phone (you already did this)
Reset phone
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
See appendix B of the User Guide for details
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described. Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8. It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday. -
hello, I'm using the same apple id on my Ipad and Iphone, and anything i do and my ipad reflects on my iphone. if i download an app on my iphone it also downloads on my ipad. Can i stop this from happening. i need help. thank you.
Yes, under the Settings for the store, you can turn off the auto download for purchases, that way if you purchase an app on another device it will not automatically download on that device. You would need to do this on both your iPad and iPhone.

my safari crashes each time i open my yahoo mail. this is very frustrating. what should i do?
Same here :-(
Safari works fine for all sites but as soon as I login to mail.yahoo.com and enter my login/password then I get the spinnig color wheel. Force quit is the only way out. I beleive my Mail Yahoo was working fine last month (started having this issue a couple weeks ago).
I am using Safari Version 5.1.1 (7534.51.22) and have normal plugins (quick time, divx, google earth, iphotophotocast, java, shockwave)

I made a new apple account but every time i download a new app it says i need to put in my old accounts password and every time I do it says incorrect how do I fix this?! I need help!
As rex already mentioned, Apps and other content are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. No transfers. No combining Apple IDs. Forever means forever.
In practice, this means any apps you currently have - free or paid - will need to be either repurchased using your new Apple ID or downloaded again if free. Until you refresh all of your apps, your iPad will ask for credentials to the old Apple ID any time one of the apps is updated.
Why did you feel it was necessary to create a new Apple ID? -
Ever since I updated my ipad2 and iphone5 to ios8, both devices are running slow, apps take forever to download (Google is STILL downloading on both), and they freeze/crash. This is VERY frustrating! Anyone else having the same problems?
Message was edited by: RkksheaHad same problem on my iPad2 with the original 8.0 release. I ended up wiping it completely clean and doing a reset and restore from backup. That seemed to fix my issues. I had the same problem when 7 came out and did the same wipe and restore to get everything working well.
