What is Mangler and why is it taking over my Mac and making it slow?
I thought I had a hard drive problem and maybe I still do but one of the suggestions I got to see what was going on when my machine slowed to a crawl was to run Activity Monitor.
Umm, what the heck is Mangler and why is it using 6GB of memory and 12GB of virtual memory? I can see it's related to sync and that when my machine syncs the processor goes balistic, the machine slows to a crawl and the fans go on full bore. What's wrong?
Obviously there was a time when it worked without crippling my system so the question is how to I correct this. Ideas?

Hi Gregor;
Mangler is a utility for renaming files.
Do you have version 2 which was release for Snow Leopard?
Another choice would be delete it if you don't use it.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.

The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

I was updating my IOS in iTunes. It was taking over 2 hours and when I came back, there was a symbol on the iPad showing a USB plug pointing to an iTunes icon. When I unplug the iPad from my PC, it goes blank and won't respond.
The restore is not completed. You will have to re-try the restore process again.
Try using this link to re-iniiate the restore.

HT1577 Why is it taking over 4 hrs to download "The Best of War" By War?
Why is it taking over 4hrs to download "the Best of War" by War?
My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

Some notes disappeared from iphone, and others are not synchronizing on ipad, mac, and iphone. What to do?
Hi, MPiaM.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer. However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

iTunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows
Because Apple have designed it that way.
It's actually against the (Apple) rules of this forum to speculate about Apple's decisions, so if perhaps you should ask your question on a more appropriate (non-Apple) forum. If you continue the discussion here, you could simply find that your post gets removed by the moderators. -
I have movies, events, clips, etc. scattered over three macs, and would like to consolidate them in one place, hopefully in ONE library on an external HD. How, please!
Try forcing iPhoto to load the Library on the External Hard drive by launching it while holding down the Option key. Choose the Library on the External HD, and quit iPhoto, see if iMovie can see the Library with the iPhoto Videos contained inside.

My Mac assures me that I am connected to the internet, using Airport and also ethernet, but Safari never gives me a home page. Can I download Firefox onto a disk using my Windows PC and then take the disk to the Mac and upload Firefox to use on the Mac ?
You can grab a "full" installer (.dmg file) from this page (scroll down to your preferred language):

i restored my mac and all my music wiped from my mac and is still on my phone. how do i get the music from my phone to my mac i really need it!
Did you not have a Time Machine backup of your Macbook Pro or a clone backup on an external HD?
To copy music from the iPhone to your Mac -- except purchases from the Apple Store -- you need third-party software.

i've got a vodsaphone payg sim: i've been given an iphone 3g, and when i connected it to my mac and itunes, a message told me that the sim was :not compatible" with the iphone. is this because, as i've been told, my card is an old style sim and i need the newer style that works In smart phones? if so, how do i go about getting the right card.
Contact your carrier & get a new sim...they should give you one for free.

I have a second coppy of cs6 design and web premium. Its only for mac and I need it for pc. Can i swap its platform?
From Adobe: "If you have an older version of a product, you must order an upgrade instead of a swap." Because you have a CS6 suite your only option may be to subscribe to Creative Cloud in order to get current cross-platform versions of all their applications. Check here for further info: Order product | Platform, language swap

Just updated my iPhone 5s from ios 8.1 to 8.3. After the install it asked for Apple ID and password and to allow it to sync to Mac and iTunes. After following the steps my phone kept restarting - turning on and off and goes blank. How do I fix this??
I have had about 9 iOS devices at work do this.
The fix and it will wipe out anything on your iphone is to connect it to your computer and have the latest version on iTunes open. Hold the Power/Sleep and Home button till it blanks out. Keep holding the home button untill it says recovery mode on the screen of the computer and do a restore. -
