Two eMac questions if you don't mind?

I'm running 10.4.11 on this eMac. I haven't upgraded the OS in awhile. Why? I'm pretty sure "Super DRive" has died on me. It will no longer play disk, and when I start up eMac it makes to pretty hideous sound. It sounds like SD is making this noise?
Also, every single time I open up the eMac it opens up Microsoft's Word,and leaves a small square that says I need an Adobe Authentication too. Oh yeah, plus address book opens too! What can I do to stop this upon opening my eMac?

On your second question, open System Preferences, Accounts, click Login Items tab, select Microsoft Word, Adobe (AdobeResourceSynchronizer), and Address Book, and click the minus botton at the bottom of the list. If you have Word or Address Book in the Dock, option-click the Dock icon and clear the checkmark next to "Open at Login".
If the optical drive is making grinding noises, it's a pretty afe bet that an optical lens cleaner isn't going to help. Replacing the internal drive is doable; see Apple eMac Upgrade Guide. If you don't care for the prospect of opening up the eMac, and can live with the startup grinding noises, you can add an external Firewire optical drive for reading and burning CD/DVD discs.

    <input type="button" name="Submit to Page One" value="formHandler('page1.jsp')">

    </form>and now the script

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How can I buy a song but always asked the security questions and you don't remember them what should I do

    How can I buy a song but always asked the security questions and you don't remember them what should I do

    Write down your security questions.......
    Here is what you should do if you do not remember the answers to your Apple ID security questions:
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email addresssign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    Cheers,

    I can't buy any apps because I am required to answer two personalized security questions. I don't know the answer to them and I don't even remember creating them. Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • I have asked about this previously without a successful outcome, so I hope you don't mind a retry...

    ...after all it is "Ask the Expert Day"!
    I am having trouble with LogMeIn and TeamViewer (remote software) on my new HP TouchSmart 610-1030y with Windows 7. When I had an older Dell Windows XP machine with LogMeIn and TeamViewer installed, it functioned perfectly. Now when I try to remote in to my new HP from the same computer at work that I used before, the slowness and latency of the screen and mouse is very severe.
    Could it be Windows 7?
    Or something with the HP Touchscreen?
    Except for this new computer, nothing else has changed. I have posted the problem in LogMeIn and Windows 7 Forums without success.
    Any advice to get LogMeIn and TeamViewer running properly on my new HP machine would be appreciated.

    Have you tried this? http://www.pcmech.com/article/connecting-to-a-windows-7-pc-with-logmein/
    Or this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/windows-7logmein-compatability-pr...
    If that isn't the issue or doesn't solve it, try disabling the Aero theme.
    Lots of discussions out there if you search logmein "windows 7" performance
