  • Why does my iPhone say it doesnt have any more storage?

    My phone had about 250-300MB of free space.  Then, I synched it with my computer.  It said I had to delete some stuff because it didnt have enough room to synch.  So I deleted about 1GB of apps, and as part of the synch, I updated 2 apps that were around 50MB combined.  Keep in mind these are basically replacing apps that were already on the phone.  Now, it still says I dont have enough room to put them on my phone, and iTunes is telling me I am 314MB over capacity.  If it all fit on there before, and I only put 50MB on there but I took 1GB off, how is this possible?  I have an iPhone 5 and the latest version of iTunes.

  • Why does my new MacBook air not recognize my iPod touch?

    After I connect the iPod 3.1 to my MacBook Air, the Mac does nothing. It doesnt recognize the iPod and I can't find it anywhere. Any help? Thanks =)

    Start a finder window and on the menubar Finder > Preferences > General tab > check Show these Item on the desktop > CDs DVDs, and iPods.
    If you want it to start iTunes, connect the iPod, select it in the sidebar of iTunes and on the Summary tab, check "open iTunes when this iPod is connected.

  • If FireFox 8.0.1 has been released, why does my computer say it is up to date when I click on Help About FireFox?

    I am wondering why my computer says it is up to date. I have FireFox 8.0 loaded and my son just went from 7.0 to 8.0.1 and cant bring up his browser. Yet, when I go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    8.0.1 will be loaded. 11/23/2011

    Current Firefox 8 installations on Windows OS's aren't getting the 8.0.1. Windows users with older versions of Firefox are getting the 8.0.1 update.
    If you are having a problem with Firefox 8.0 crashing, install the 8.0.1 version; otherwise, if you aren't having a crashing problem don't install the updated version.

  • Why does my computer say that there is a problem connecting to a server when I'm in iPhoto?

    After I launch iPhoto, this message pops up every 10 seconds or so,
    There is a problem connecting to the server "Scotts Macbook"?
    Why does this happen? I'm not trying to connect to any server, how do I disconnect? I used to use the Macbook for my iWeb site, but I haven't done that for years.

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm running 10.7.2.   My main NAS just failed and I'm using a new one.   The old NAS was called "DATASERVER".   The new NAS is called "NEWSERVER".
    Many, but not all of my original files were located on and imported from DATASERVER which is no longer in use.  I can see all of my photos but when I try to open them/edit them it's clear that I just have thumbnails.  I get the error message "There was a problem connecting to a server "DATASERVER".  The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.   Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Other information:
    * I'm using iPhoto 9.2.1
    * Currently in Preferences I have the "copy items to the iPhoto library" CHECKED.
    * I can access the directories, files, etc. on NEWSERVER via Finder.
    * I have gone into keychain and deleted any references to DATASERVER
    * I have turned off Time Machine.
    * At one point it was asking me to find the original file and a finder window would pop up.  I could then point to the original file only to get the "There wasa a problem connecting to a server "DATASERVER" again. 
    I do not know if I'm using a Managed Library or a Referenced Library since I set this up long ago.  I seem to recall at one point I tried to manage the library myself but then changed.
    Any help that you can provide would be very much appreciated.  I've scoured this site and others but cannot find a solution that works.

  • Why does my computer say 'your computer restarted due to a problem' and continuously loop?

    I am trying to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion on my iMac. It says that the installation is successful, but then shows 'Your computer restarted due to a problem' and continuously tries to restart.
    I tried to set up Apple support with the 90-day complimentary support, but because the iMac itself is older it won't allow me to contact them.
    Any help with fixing the problem or how to get in touch with Apple's support is appreciated.

  • Why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page, why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page but will work if im hardwired into the internet

    my computer is showing full connection through the airport but wont open any web pages it says it is not connected to the internet... When i hard wire the internet in with the cord it works just fine so i think i somehow messed up or turned of my wi fi capability but i show my airport is on

    Your computer is showing it's connected to the Wifi router all right, but perhaps the router isn't connected to the Internet.
    If your connecting the Ethernet cable directly to the modem and resetting it, bypassing th erouter and then getting online, fine that's good.
    If your connecting to the router directly and getting on the Internet fine, it means the router is connected to the Internet.
    If the last one is true then likely what has occured is your DCHP lease is expired because your computer doesn't have the right time and date as the router, it's showing a good signal but your not connecting.
    Open System Preference and check the date and time and set it to update to Apple's time server for your location.
    Sometimes Apple's time is off, as third party routers get their time elsewhere and sometimes the two don't match and thus DCHP lease is expired.

  • Why does my computer say that its plugged in but not charging yet the battery is not reducing

    it says plugged in, not charging, 99% (battery life)
    but the battery life is not reducing & hasnt for 2 days. it just stays like that.
    hp pavillion dv5-2132dx    laptop
    windows 7 64 bit
    i have had a few weird occurences and im not sure what caused it. abruptly my speakers would stop working & my battery life would start reducing. that happened i think 3 times over the course of several months. this last time which was the 3rd is when i changed electrical outlets thinking that maybe that was the problem. and the power & speakers immediately went back to normal. its only been a few days since i changed outlets & everything is working as it should be however as mentioned the battery icon on the taskbar says that its plugged in but not charging & it remains at 99% for the last 2 days.

    Hi,
    First of all, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the notebook down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the notebook on just the battery.  Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes. Shut down the notebook again.  Now plug in the AC Adapter ( with the battery still inserted ) and start the notebook to see if this has helped the charging issue at all.

  • Why does my computer say there are printers disabled that I have never installed?

    I have a  HP G62-339WM Notebook PC.  I have tried trouble shooting it several times, and it tells me that there are several different printers that are installed but not enabled, and wants me to enable them.  I have never had these printers installed, and would like them gone.  What can I do?
    I have been having problems lately with total system lockups and constantly getting disconnected from my wireless network.  I am getting really frustrated!
    Windows 7, btw

    Uninstall the printers. RIght click the icon and choose remove device. Sometimes if you visit a place that has shared network printers Windows 7 will install them. They stay in the devices and printers folder but are just inactive. It is one of the good and bad things about Windows 7.Orphan printers should not cause you any problems though.
    I think the system lockups and wifi disconnects are another problem altogether. You should try a couple simple system repair routines...in the run box type cmd and right click the command prompt icon and choose run as administrator. Type chkdsk C: /r and hit return. Tell it you want to do a file system check on reboot and then reboot and let that run all the way through. Now do the command prompt thing again...run as administrator and type sfc /scannow. This should run in place and checks system files and repairs anything out of whack. Tell us what you find out. What are you using for antivirus and spyware protection?
