Trying to install Turbo Tax (not the first year) and it says I have zero KB available. I have 8GB of memory installed.
How can I be out of application memory? What can I do to fix this? TIA
Ok, I think we have been talking past each other or not really understanding what each other is talking about.
When you say you have 8 GB installed and 5.93 GB free, you must be referring to the memory, and I was interpreting this as hard drive storage space.
My copy of TT (Premier) says it needs 1 GB memory and 360 MB storage space...so yours should be similar depending the edition you are using.
The hard drive storage space should not be an issue unless you have your hard drive completely full so we will ignore that.
Now TT wants to see 1 GB of memory available, but for some reason is not recognizing the 5.93 GB you report as available. So, go to Finder > Applications > Utilities (may be Other on some systems) > Activity Monitor and double click to open. Click the button top center of the window for memory and see what the numbers are in the lower portion of the window. The Wired, Active and Inactive should add up to the Used amount. Which then leaves the Free number (mine says 5.85 GB at the moment) using only Safari and Activity Monitor and the Mac OS X stuff.
Keep Activity Monitor open and reinsert the TT DVD and try to install, since that is what you said was not working. As a sanity check: do you have Mac OS X 10.6.8 as your equipment says you have? TT has to see at least that Mac OS X version.

how do i delete from the startup disk? I am trying to get Mountain Lion from the App store and it says that the purchase was not complete because i need 4.06 GB space to download OS x 10.8. and to remove items from my startup disk to increase space. How?
ThanksYou can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located. -
I tried to sync my phone for the first time and somehow it restored and i lost all my data. Help!
If you don't have a backup made by iTunes, your data and settings are gone.
Apps and other media can be downloaded again for free:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
.. If the app is – in or out of background - (if in background NOT the first app) and the device locked – when you get a push message and DO NOT response straight away. let it fade off then, Later unlock, click the app icon (which will have a badge on it) and it fails to pop up my internal alert box and my notification message is gone(cannot get access to it in code).. other times it works . Including if you tap the messaeg from app centre. (this is all on a iPod 5.1.1).

There is Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?
This could well be the notorious Mac Defender - which is an annoying program that tricks you into thinking that your Mac is infected with a virus, when the only infection is Mac Defender itself.
When surfing the web never EVER click on a link that says "Free anti-virus scan" or "Scan now" - they are nearly always scams which will end up infecting your computer. Although Macs are resistant to viruses, they're not resistant to user stupidity.
If you Google "Mac defender" then you'll find plenty of sites with instructions on how to remove this minor nuisance. Take this as a warning that you need to be more careful in your surfing habits.

I preorders the 5sos album and it says I have to pay for it even though I already payed for it
I can't download a album I preordered
Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and select that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded. If not, check the Purchases area of the iTunes Store and you may be able to download the tracks there:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you can't find or can't download them there, go here:

to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I have just downloaded itunes, and am trying to buy a disc through them, but whenever I try to log on, I am told that firefox does not recognise itunes, and therefore I cannot buy my disc.
Can anyone help please?Delete the apps that have a different Apple ID and re-download/re-purchase them using yours.
Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.
To updatethose apps, the same Apple ID & password must be used. -
Does anyone know where to access my 4 digit security PIN from my iphone 4?
I dont ever recall programming a PIN into my phone.
I need it to pair up my bluetooth with my vehicle audio system.Hi there,
the 4 digit pin is usually default to 0000 or 1111.
If pairing, it can also be anything you choose, providing that you enter the same 4 digits into both items to pair.
Good luck! -

Hello there, Learning.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, basic troubleshooting steps for issues with Wi-Fi on an iOS device:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
If the issue persists after performing the initial recommended steps, then try the following:
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I am not familiar with MAC's. I am trying to insert Turbo Tax CD into my Dad's Mac. But, the CD will not go in/stay in. Need some help with this, anyone have an answer? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
Confused: You say nothing will "catch" in the slot, which I take to mean the optical drive won't accept anything. Just spits it out. Then you say you thought there was an eject button to push, which would imply there's a stuck disc inside.
If it's the latter, try holding down the mouse while booting.

I recently updated itunes to the latest version and now the programme will not open.
I have tried all suggestions such as reinstalling the programme, rebooting you name it, nothing.
This most frustrating and completely unacceptable, especially when a company such as Apple touts itself being the leader in music technology yet does not respond directly to questions about faults in their system, but prefers to leave to disgruntled customers to try and sort it out amongst themselves
This not the first time I have had frustrating problems with the Apple system. Perhaps someone could suggest a more reliable system to switch to. Someone with a better troubleshooting system.Going all the way back to Firefox 3.0.5 is shear foolishness, it is 14 security versions behind the last 3.0.19 release. And that version is missing at least a dozen security updates that were applied to the 3.5 and 3.6 versions after support for 3.0.x ended.
If you are not happy with Firefox 4, you should have installed Firefox 3.6.17. That is very similar to the 3.0 and has all the security fixes that have been released since support for Firefox 3.0.x ended last year. -

so im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?
This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?
