Was installing osx mavericks and now the iMac is restarting itself over and over

Shut the power clear off, wait a minute or 2 and restart and see if that clears the problem.

Don't know. Could be any number of reasons. Re-read the how to install RAM manual again for your model iMac. Double & triple check to make sure you purchased the right RAM chips. Make sure they are seated properly. If you didn't hear a snap when seated, the RAM is not properly seated.

After installing reader 9 sucessfully on the imac it won't open and doesn't seem to be there. I do have 5 installed but it won't work on new files. mac 10.6.8.Help.

Can you see Reader 9 inside Applications folder? If yes, then launch Reader and then try to open any pdf via File->Open or drag drop on Reader icon in the doc.
In case you dont find Reader 9 in your Applications folder then you can download and install the latest Reader from the following link: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

What have you tried?
A safe boot?
A recovery boot?

I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).

I had to change my user ID because I used my email at my old job and now the old one keeps popping up and I can't sync my phone or authorize my computer at work to sync my phone. I have a new user ID and PW that allows me into ITUNES but that old one won't go away. Any help? Thanks

Hi, you can't change which ID was used to purchase any app. However, you can edit your Apple ID, which may be a better option than using a new id.

System Preferences > Universal Access:
As an aside: Some people report that their cat will "mark" the MBP/MBA keyboard, and such "marking" is not civered under warranty. Closing it while unattended may be wise.

I just replaced the power supply in my Intel imac and now the screen is really really dark and I see the missing folder icon, what do I do?

The power supply in my Intel iMac went out (and smelled pretty burned) so I replced it and now when I start it up the display is so dark I can hardly see it and it shows the missing folder icon. Is it the inverter? Or if shine a flashlight on it and re-install the OS will changing the display settings maybe fix it?

Thanks for ur quick reply to my problem. I tried all of that with no results... I did notice tho that the lights next to and above my caps lock key and my num lk key are now flashing. They flash in unison three times then there is a two second pause then they flash three more times and this repeats. They may have been doing this before I tried this solution but I did not take notice until now... I was also wondering how I am supposed to know, after pressing f10 to enter bios, how I can tell if my new drive is being detected when my monitor will not function? Was pressing f10 supposed to possibly make the monitor turn on? In a last ditch effort to try and further identify the problem, I re installed my old drive. Before replacing it my computer would begin to boot then display a hard error that would not allow me to continue booting and run Windows. My display would still work but I could not run Windows. After re installing the drive the monitor will not turn on. I'm beginning to think that I have a bad monitor. Is there a way of testing this with out buying one? Where does the monitor connect to the mother board? I wonder if maybe its been jarred loose, although I highly doubt it, it may still be worth looking at. Thanks again for your advice.

Lost my laptop and now the iMac is playing up

Soon after doing the latest updates for the security, Java and daylight saving with repairing permissions before and after as I normally do life was not the same.
On my 12" it all began with the fan being very noisy, coming on for a while then turning off, however it is winter where I am and on 17 deg C. I started updating my address book, shifting vcf's from Entourage to Address book and found that both programmes stopped responding. This happened about 6 times and on each occasion I used Activity Monitor to shut them down. At the same time the screen would go black and the the laptop would go to sleep for a second then fire back up again. Last week I have the screen replaced as it was dying and a few months back my HDD was replaced.
So then the thing would not switch off to reboot, so I had to pull the battery out and restart. This happened a couple of times so I put in the installation CD in order to run it to check things out. The lappy died with the disc inside and would not power up again.
I took it to an Apple service centre in Chandigarh and have not heard a thing for 3 days. So either the update has killed it or the Logic Board has gone. Thank goodness for Apple Care.
My iMac G5 had the same updates and now I find the FileMaker Pro 7 keeps crashing while I am building a new database which is at present only 328 kb.

12" PBG4.
2 months ago the hard drive failed and last week the screen was replaced as it was fading out on the bottom left. Yesterday the logic board was replaced and also the DVD superdrive, all under APP warranty thankfully so I shall see how it works from now on. I will take the opportunity to increase the ram, shame the max is to be 768 but for e-mails and chatting that's fine.

Top bar displays in two colors. It should all be blue and now the middle third is brownish. deleted and reinstalled it to no avail.

The bar in which the Black apple is located along with File Edit View History Bookmarks is blue.
Then Tools Window Help up to the battery charge is brown/beige. Then the rest returns to blue.
I have a photo which displays this problem very clearly.
The other problem I have is that I teach college courses online using a platform called Blackboard. While Firefox is the recommended web browser I cannot use it. When I scroll down a page in blackboard the text in the various documents disappears from the screen. It does not delete it, it just cannot be seen. All that remains is a white page.
Thanks so much!!!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back again soon!
Hope this helps!

HT201210 I did the update on my phone and now it just keeps restarting itself over and over again. It will come up with the black screen and apple sign and shut off and bring that up again. What do I do?

First I did the update under general like I do every couple months. My phone came up with a screen, at the end of the update, that had a picture of the itunes icon and a picture of the iphone cord like I was supposed to connect to itunes. I did and itunes said that my phone needed to be "restored" to be reusable again, and the only option it gave me was to click the restore button. So I did and it went through a 30 minute restore session. Now my phone just shows the black screen with the apple icon and restarts over and over again. Clicking the buttons does nothing. It has been doing this for hours now. What do I do?

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software

We used apple configurator to supervise lap tops and now the lap top we used failed and has been damagedd- We cannot connect to ipads using the mobile cart or individually with the new lap top- we get the massage "unable to connect device.. suggestions??

I am not sure if there is a way to erase the ipads as they have resrictions in each pad from the original configurator..

I had this exact issue. However, I was not even able to "see" the pending downloads when I tried fixing them using the solution above.
In another thread, I saw that someone mentioned an issue with the use of the "&" (ampersand) symbol in your appleID information. I had recently changed my name and it did include the & symbol in my name (not the appleID itself). I replaced the ampersand with the word "and" and saved. I then went to the iTunes store and logged into my account there and made the same change on my billing name.
Voila! I could now access the 7 pending downloads on my desktop Mac and download them, and all iPhone/iPad/Ipods were again able to download from the app store.
incidentally, I had several support tickets open on this issue and never once did the Apple person even suggest that this might be the issue.
