My Bridge CC opens in a locked mode - I cannot make any changes (dump cache) - it says "other instances of Adobe Application Manager are running, which must be closed." I have to force quit Bridge to get out of it. I tried to uninstall Bridge and re-install it but it did the same thing. Any ideas where to go next?
The fact that I uninstalled Bridge and reloaded it has me concerned as to what to do next.?

You need to force quit all other (real or fake) instances of the Application Manager. Instructions differ between Mac or Win.
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

When I go to System Preferences Network "Click the lock to make changes",... it ALWAYS UNLOCKED. That is even if I have locked it before last shutdown. Should it not stay locked until I unlock it again as administrator?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ General
If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Enter your login password when prompted.
Click the Advanced button and check the box marked Require an administrator password to access locked preferences in the sheet that drops down. Then click OK.

I am receiving an error message "Error: 150:30" after having my computer serviced.
Repair shop completely stripped down my machine and reloaded Operating system, Yosemite 10.10.1.
I tried to download a Licensing update, but can't get that to open.????
My machine had originally been a clone of another Mac. Not it looks like a brand new computer.
Possibly there is something in system preferences to change? I turned off Firewall and allow downloads from all parties.
Thank You for you help!

150:30 means the licensing failed. Photoshop can't be moved like other programs from another drive or from backup.
I would suggest a reinstall to fix it. Anytime you move Photoshop from from drive to another, it breaks licensing. A install is the quickest way. to fix it.
When you are done with the install, apply all CS4 updates. Product updates

My ical froze and keeps trying to process a cut and paste that I added to the calendar. I have to force quit but the next time I open it is still frozen. Can't use at all. Help!

My iCal has frozen when I tried to add a cut and paste to the calendar for notes on a meeting I'm attending. I have to force quit but the next time I open it is still frozen and everything I've tried doesn't erase the message so I can continue using. Can't use at all. Help!

I have the same problem--have you found a solution?

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5, and now when I plug in my iPhone 3gs i get the Beach Ball of Eternal Sadness. I have to Force Quit the app, and I cannot sync my iPhone. This also means I cannot upgrade to the new iOS5.

My OS is current and up to date. No problems there.... Intel based iMac, relatively new....
But since i did the upgrade to iTunes 10.5 i cannot sync my iPhone. It's a 3gs. Oddly - my wifes iPhone will load and sync (it is a first gen iPhone, btw).
Neither device is, or evr has been jailbroken. mY iPhone was syncing perfectly until the upgrade to 10.5.

Had the same thing happen to me when I tried syncing my iPhone this a.m. - talked to Apple 7 hours ago and evidently there's an "issue" with the iTunes server. The Apple adviser told me to try syncing in an hour. Well, rather than do that, I've continued to check Twitter, searching on "itunes sync" or "itunes server" - seems the problem's still going on.
I'm going to wait it out til tomorrow. Or whenever.
The REASON I was synching is that ever since the iOS 5 "upgrade" photos that were in albums synced from iPhoto had disappeared. Not all the photos, just all the photos in some albums. Weird.
Too many bugs in iOS 5 (syncing, Bluetooth connectivity, etc.). They should have waited til it was right before releasing it.

I just updated my mac software to 10.6.8 so I could install iTunes. When I go to iTunes and click to go to the store, it loads but then it goes blank. ?? Help please

I've deleted/uninstalled iTunes and installed it again but it still goes blank when I click on the iTunes Store.

When submittng my purchasing information it tells me to call iTunes support, but I keep getting led in circles and I just want to purchase an album for my ipod already. If you could help I would totally love it!

I have just made my appleid this morning and I was all excited to start purchasing itunes and it's like "to complete this you must call iTunes support" and i'm like okay, so I've called various numbers and I finally got hold of a human and she told me she couldn't help. Please someone!~ i'm just really mad and I just want to purchase and it's not letting me.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here, and reset your password, you will receive an email with your new password, then go to manage your account > Password and Security and change your security questions.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

Firefox opens with two tab both saying "connecting" and the cursor spins, and nothing happens. I have to force quit it each time. I'm using MAC OS 10.7.2

There isn't more to say. There is no library in the system as far as I can see. I'd like to use firefox and can't get past this hang.

*Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
*Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

I cannot import any pictures anymore. Iphoto says "preparing to import" and then nothing happens. I have to force quit and shut the Macbook. Any solution?

Thanks! I am on Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Iphoto 8.1.2

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Safari 4.0.3 Top Sites and/or flash choke and I have to force quit.

I've tried multiple times all of the remedies I've seen on the discussion forums. Uninstalled an reinstalled flash. Dumped old internet plugins, reset, repair permissions, restart, trashed most safari folders, etc...in many different orders that have been recommended.
1- When I use Safari 4.0.3 Top Sites to go to some sites there is a frozen beach ball at about the time that the site is loading the advertising. This is predictable on sites with advertising. I have to force quit Safari. Then open it up again and back to normal. This is the usual procedure.
Sometimes the usual problem sites come up without a problem but that is very rare.
There is never a problem opening the sites using a saved bookmark.
I'm guessing that it's a page refresh/update problem withing Top Sites. Is it that it can't handle updating the animated ads when opening from Top Sites? Just looking for a solution.
Turning off Top Sites is not an answer. Avoiding using it is not an answer. I like the feature and want to continue to use it without problems.
2 - Rarely I've also had to force quit sometimes when clicking on a link on a page with advertising. It's as though I caught it (flash?) in some part of its cycle and it was off guard.
So, is it top sites, flash, scripting? I'd really like safari to work as it used to.

If turning that off improved the situation, this confirms that one of Safari's database files has become corrupt and is causing the crashing, and this would show up in your crash log as Thread 3 having crashed.
The blacklists from Google’s Safe Browsing Initiative (where Safari checks for 'fraudulent websites') are contained in a database cache file called SafeBrowsing.db - the file was created when you first launched Safari 3.2, and if you have the browser open, the file is modified approximately every 30 minutes.
In other words it is part of Safari's (version 3.2 onwards) anti-phishing security feature.
As an alternative to turning off 'Warn when visiting a fraudulent website', which will lose you that important security feature, you should delete that database file, (but first close Safari):
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari (this is a folder)/SafeBrowsing.db (although that location may be different on your system).
It will be recreated next time you open Safari, and will then start again collecting details of dodgy websites.

Any ideas?

Look at this link. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9372513
I did BDAqua's suggestion
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.

TS3991 When I open iCloud from system preferences, it is recognizing an old email address and will not let me in with new apple ID. Advice?

When I open iCloud from System Preferences it is recognizing and old email address I longer use and will not let me log in with my new apple ID. I've tried to change my apple ID and password, but it automatically brings up the old one. How do I change that?

Sign Out of iCloud (in System Preferences) then Sign In with the new ID and password.

None of the changes I make to system preference or the dock will hold after restart. I've cleared the RAM, run disk repair and reinstalled the OS. Now what?

It is true that the only way to sync your Mac with iCloud is to upgrad. You need to be running OS X Lion 10.7.2 or higher in order to sync your Mac with iCloud. At this point, you can upgrade directly to OS X Mountain Lion from the version of OS X you are now running (10.6.8). You can purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade from the Mac App Store for $19.99. After upgrading you will see iCloud in System Preferences. This guide explains how to sync your Mac with iCloud after upgrading: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Once all your devices are signed into the same iCloud account and you have turned on your iCloud data syncing, you will be able to keep them all in sync using iCloud. You will still have to sync with iTunes to manage your iTunes media such as music, movies, podcasts, etc. You will have the option to either continue backing up automatically with your computer when you sync with iTunes, or to back up your iOS devices automatically to iCloud every 24 hours (as long as they are connected to wifi and your chargers).
