    What does it mean when there is one long beep?

    See this article.  By the way, the reason no one responded is because Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.8 are mutually exclusive, and can't run on the same machine.

    What does it mean when there is an I tunes symbol on the screen with a charging cable underneath that?

    Turn on the computer. Take the charging cable and connect one end to the bottom of the Touch and the other to a USB on your computer (back of the computer if this is a desktop computer). iTunes should open automatically and will probably give you a message it has detected an iPod in Recovery mode. Follow the onscreen steps from there and Restore it from any backup on the computer.

    It means you have a hardware problem. That could be the screen itself or the graphics system, GPU.

  • What does it mean when there is a flashing file folder with a question mark when trying to start computer?

    When I try to start my computer a flashing file folder with a question mark is on the screen. I can't open anything up. What does this mean?

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

  • What does it mean when there is a red slash through an app that is listed with my apps?

    When I go to my computer and to the App Store I have noticed there is a big red slash mark on some of my apps.  What does this mean? 

    It usually means that you may have upgraded the version of OS X to a version with which these apps are incompatible.

    There is a small circular red light lit up near my ear piece, I've never seen it lit up before and I haven't had my phone wet except for a few drops on the screen that were wiped away shortly after....
    What does this mean? I'm freaking out!

    I am having trouble with my itunes account because some of my song will not let me play them because they have an icloud icon with a down arrow in the middle and whenever I click on the song to play it a message pops up and says "You must authorize this computer before you can download the previous purchase". what does that mean and how do i fix it?

    To authorize your PC click Store in the Menu Bar and then Authorize This Computer
    Note: If using iTunes 11 press Alt or Ctrl+B to show the Menu Bar

  • What does it mean when there isn't enough room to run a program?

    My desktop tends to go blank and when I try to open programs such as Excel or Word a message comes up saying there isn't enough memory to run. Anyone know what could fix this? Also I opened iPhoto and it asked if i wanted to open iPhoto or iPhoto, not knowing the difference, I picked the first one and almost all of my photos were gone.

    there are a couple of ways to fix this.
    1) run less applications at one time, meaning make sure they are truly closed and not just off.
    2) get a ram upgrade. this can be done by yourself or by taking it to an apple store.

    For a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE

    Here's instructions on replacing the hard drive http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case, partition and format it, and clone your old drive to the new one. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one.

  • What does it mean when there's a _ at the beginning of a username?

    Example: _softwareupdate
    Thanks.

    OS X started using _ on system groups a few releases back; that convention started with 10.5.
    I'd start your own thread for the groups question.  As for any group limit, haven't seen that one with OS X; if you're hitting some limit with groups or ACLs or a tool you're using, you'll want to post up some details of the version (10.8?), the volume structure used the output of the id command and the ls -ale@ for the ACL. 
    The local root account has twenty groups, so I'm not sure what you're seeing with that limit.
    Alternatively, you can log a bug directly with Apple asking for the limit to be increased.

  • HT1498 What does it mean when there is a movie that has "available for rent" on a date that has passed already, but you still are not able to rent it?

    Really want to rent a movie through my Apple TV and it says "available for rent 4/8," but it is 4/25 and it still isnt available. Just curious. 

    The studio hasn't supplied it or given the rights for iTunes to rent yet. If you want an official answer contact iTunes.

  • What does it mean when my screen just flashes a file folder with a question mark?

    I just did software update and now my screen flashes a file folder with a question mark in the middle???

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the hard drive data is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Once it has finished booting and you are at the Install screen launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then select the First Aid Tab run Repair Disk and if that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • What does it mean when setting up iCloud that it asks merge with iCloud?

    I am setting up iCloud on my phone.  It is asking me if I want to "merge with iCloud"?  Will I lose contacts or pics if I say "Merge".

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you already have some contacts on your phone when you sign up for iCloud, iCloud will ask you if you wish to keep these contacts on your phone only and start an additional iCloud accounts for contacts, or merge the two accounts together so that all the contacts will be in the new iCloud account.
    Nothing will happen to your photos when you sign up for iCloud photos are not involved in this procedure.
