Troubles with connection Windows XP

Just got my new iPhone4, but now my computer turns off when I try to connect. It went well the first time when I syncronised the iPhone with iTunes, but after an update the computer just "crashes" when i connect with usb. No problem to turn it on again when i remove the connection, but it pops up a window "windows has just recovered from serious error!"
I also have an iPod and iPad, but there is no problem with the connection with those two.
Help! Anyone?

Are you using encryption?

Trouble with Initial Windows 8 Restart on 2010 MBP

I just attempted to download 64-bit Windows 8 onto my 2010 MBP via Boot Camp. It is a legal version I got through my university; I downloaded the .iso file onto a flash drive through a Windows computer, and then burned it onto a blank DVD via Disk Utility on my Mac. I also downloaded the Windows Support Software onto a second flash drive. The installation completed and my computer restarted.
When it did, it showed a black screen with the 4-rectangle Windows 8 logo in the middle. It freezes there for ~10-15 minutes, and then shows me a blue screen titled "Recovery" and says the error code is 0xc00000e9. This process can be repeated by turning my computer off and then on again. I have tried removing all external devices (except the burned DVD disk, which I cannot figure out how to eject; the eject button does nothing), with no success. I also cannot switch back to Os X by holding the "option" button at the white screen; my computer automatically tries to load Windows regardless. Please let me know if you have any suggestions; aside from what I have just described, my computer has no discernible functionality.
Specs:
MBP 2010
Os X Mavericks (can't remember exactly which version and I can't open Os X to check)
Windows partition: 100 GB out of 500 GB

Troubles with reformating Windows iPod to Mac and data loss

I'm completely lost. I've tried searching the support section of Apple.com and I've tried searching these message boards but I haven't been able to figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong...
I have a horrible Dell computer running Windows XP Home... the machine is just full of problems and I have a 20GB HP iPod that was originally formated for the windows machine.
I bought a G5 iMac almost 4 months ago and try as I might I cannot format the iPod to hold any information from my Mac (it just reads the information from my Dell and will copy that to the Mac) and I even lost all of my non-purchased songs on my iPod the first time I tried to switch it.
Does anyone have any information that might help...? Thanks (and I'm sorry for posting what probably is an annoying question!)
iMac G5 (May '05) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

i'm having the same problem. i had a del, bought a new powerbook g4, got all my music transferred...but i can't get my ipod to sync up. if you have found anything out, please help me out.
thank you.

Trouble with Finder window

Hi,
My finder window suddenly stopped opening. Also noticed that my ABOUT MY COMPUTER doesn't open up as well. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi dtsering,
Happy Holidays! Have you tried restarting your computer to reset your Finder application? If you did, and are still having an issue, then restart the computer in Safe Mode. Then open Finder and the "About My Mac" menu from the Apple logo. Restart your computer as normal and you should be back in business.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
What is "Safe Mode"?
Safe Mode (sometimes called Safe Boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, and prevents some software from automatically loading or opening.
Starting up in Safe Mode does several things:
It verifies your startup disk, and attempts to repair directory issues if needed.
Startup Items and Login Items are not opened during startup and login on OS X v10.4 or later.
Together, these changes can help resolve or isolate certain issues on your startup disk.
Starting up in Safe Mode
Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.
I hope this information helps ....

Firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. What can I do?

After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

See:

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Is PE10 compatible with Windows 8? Having trouble with the organizer.

Is PE10 compatible with Windows 8? Having trouble with the organizer

It does sound very Watch Folders-esque, however, it seems strange that there are many folders involved. Are all the folders under a single parent folder perhaps? If so, you could try renaming or moving that folder. Additionally, to clarify, all 60 files are images, correct?
Additionally, you can try creating a new catalog, just to see if that lets you in. Hold down the Shift key while launching the Organizer. If you get the timing right, the Catalog Manager will appear.

Having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper

I've been having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper and similar "services." Tried to download "MPlayerX" a week ago and it all started then. I thought I deleted the file but I'm still having trouble. I've been digging for solutions on here, but nothing I've found on here has worked yet--the VSearch stuff (I think) isn't on my hard drive. Any advice?

You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.venus.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/venus
/System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
