Have you reset the password recently for the email account?
A real simple fix usually is to delete the mail account (settings < mail contacts calendars, tap the affected account and choose delete at the bottom) Then re add the account.

my macair won't turn on. when I try to turn it on, the white screen appears. But instead of the apple logo, there is a flashing folder that has a question mark on it. how do i fix this?
Try this.
Erase and Reinstall OS X
Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
Select the Erase tab.
Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
Follow the instructions.
I hope I solved your question.

When I try to access GameCenter on my Mac it says "The requested operation could not be completed due to an error communicating with the server." How can I fix this?
This usually caused by a customised hosts file.
These need to be the only entries in your /etc/hosts file:-
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
Remove anything below these entries, then try and reconnect with GC. Once GC starts properly you can put the extra entries back in your hosts file, GC should start normally afterwards.

When trying to authorize my daughtes ipod classic to a new laptop it pops up and asks for apple id but the email is not one of ours and it will not let me change it is there any way to fix this problem Thanks in advance
To whom does the email address belong to? Are you sure it wasn't an email address used in the past or perhaps one that had belonged to a friend of hers?
Either way, if the music on her iPod was purchased under an account not belonging to her or you, there is much you can do. Sorry.

I have tried downloading iTunes (and Quicktime), but instead of giving me the option to "run" the program, Firefox only gives me the option to "save" the program (which I already tried, does not work to give me access to the downloaded program). Is there a setting I need to change?
That's intentional, because running exe files from your browser is a major security concern. You can run the file after you have downloaded it. If you don't know where it is on your computer, go to '''Tools > Downloads''', and double-click on it from the Downloads window.

I have connected my 3rd generation 32 gb touch to itunes to update to ios 5, doesn't look like it is recognizing the need to update. Still says 4.2.1. software. Help!!!
See: These devices are able to upgrade to iOS 5 -
Here > http://iosnova.com/tag/what-devices-can-upgrade-to-ios-5/
Which is why you can't update to iOS 5.
If your iPod was able to upgrade when you click Check for Upgrade under the Summary tab, you would see a dialog box asking if you want to upgade to iOS 5. -

If you want to keep those messages but reduce the file size:
Archive your Sent folder.
How to set up Archive options - if not already set.
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
Archive by month and year and choose to 'keep exisitng folder structure of archived messages'
Then select the 'Sent' folder to see emails.
click on first email to get focus.
Press 'Ctrl' key and 'A' key to select all emails.
They will be shown as 'conversations in the Message Pane'.
click on the 'Archive' button.
This should empty the Sent folder and place all sent emails in 'Archives' under the respective year, month and Sent folder. -
I changed my apple ID but when I open iCloud it still has my old ID and I can't log in, how do I fix this?
Hello scottyme1,
In order to sign out of your iCloud account that had a ID change, you would need to change the account back to the original. The reason for that is probably due to the Find my device feature and it needs to verify and if that iCloud account does not exist because of the name change and you cannot sign out. Changing it back is pretty easy and should not ask you to verify but once you change it and sign out, you can change it back to what you want it to be. Take a look at the article below to walk you through this.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

I changed my mailto: to yahoo mail but now when I click an email link it has the mailto: and the subject both in the To: part of the email. I have to delete the incorrect data out. How can I fix this?
Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

ps cs6 on mac. since installing yosemite, when working on an image if i want to change tool, via shortcut or wacom pen click, i now have to click on the image title bar, how can i fix this ?
@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

When I'm in LR and click edit in PS CS6, I lose my edits and presets once in PS. How do I fix this?
When I'm in LR and click edit in PS CS6, I lose my edits and presets once in PS. How do I fix this?
OK, as you noted, the problem began when you upgraded to LR6, but you did not upgrade PS. LR6 needs Photoshop to have Camera Raw 9.0 for full compatibility. But, there is a workaround. Normally, LR passes the raw file and the adjustment metadata to PS for rendering using PS's camera raw, but LR can render the file as well. Here are the steps to take:
1. Edit > Preferences > General. Under "Prompts," choose "Reset all warning dialogs."
2. Now choose "Edit in Photoshop." You should see something similar to this warning dialog; choose "Render using Lightroom."
In this way, all the adjustments you made in LR will be rendered and the already rendered file will be passed to Photoshop.
Note the checkbox "Don't show again." You may have checked this once before, which is why you may not see the warning dialog. The reset in step 1 brings this warning back in case you've dismissed it.
Hope that helps!

iOS 8.1, mail fumction, date at bottom of email accounts the date hasn't changed since 9/26/14. How can I fixed this?
Thanks for the reply Brenden. However the problem is:
At the very bottom of the "Mailboxes" screen (where I've got 6 email addresses that do work) there is on the far right (bottom right corner) an icon to compose a new message.
In the center of that space is a generated message that says: 1) "downloading x of y" and 2) when finished downloading it says "Updated on 9/26/14." today is 11/6/14!
My problem is that that date hasn't changed since I upgraded to iOS 8.1. The emails are current, but that date isn't!

My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?
Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

I've recently started to use Numbers on my macbook pro but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use.
Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone.
The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
Any guidance? Thanks.The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

since installing the latest version... when I open a new window it opens everything I have minimized too... very annoying. How can I fix this, I minimize to go back to a window not have multiple windows open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after installed last version...Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?
