Why does my iPod charge completely and then automatically go to Red? It's been doing this all day today... And sometimes it dies, but an hour later I can turn it back on. I don't want to buy a new battery!!!

It just *****...

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Okay, that's your choice.

Is the media already on the iPad? If not, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded if they are still available in iTunes. Non-iTunes purchases would need to be synced from iTunes on a computer.

I lost my iphoto app. and I don't want to buy the new iphoto 11. How do I download the old I photo?

I lost my iphoto app when i re-downloaded the apps. disc. I don't want to buy the new iphoto11. how do i download the old iphoto?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Is there a way to print from ipad 4 to a non AirPrint printer? I have a Canon Pixma MP 620 wifi which works fine with my PC but I don't want to buy a new printer. Is there an app for this or adaptors which could work? thank, Ric

Printopia is another option but be aware that since these solutions effectively act as a print server and AirPrint receiver, they require a computer to be running on the same WiFi network.
Canon also has a couple of apps in the App Store that might facilitate this on non-AirPrint printers. Check out...

I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and the screen went yellow. The battery wasn't low and it has been like this all day. What can I do to fix it??

I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and the screen went yellow. The battery wasnt low when it happened. It has been like this all day. What can I do to fix this?? PLEASE HELP!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped working.

How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped.

I find it's touchy. Tap anywhere on the note to bring up the keyboard. If you tap and hold, you won't bring up the keyboard. Just tap momentarily.
If you can't get it to work, try restarting your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If it still doesn't work, try resetting your iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I beleive they used the same concept that they did in iOS. One folder deep. If you think they should implement somehting more, then please use the feedback links in the forums FAQs to leave your comments and suggestions.

My iPod screen has cracked and I don't want to buy a new one, is there anywhere I could send it to get it fixed?

My parents bought it for me and I really don't have the money to buy a new one, andit's sort of my life. Is there a place in apple that I could send it or does anyone know of any shops e.g PC world that would fix it? Thanks x

You can set up a out of warranty repair for it via Apple using this link. They don't actuallly repair the iPod, but instead replace it with a same model/capacity that is refurbished.

There are also several third party repair centers out there who will be able to replace the damaged LCD for a much lower cost. Just do a simple Google search for "iPod Classic repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

I don't want to buy a new one just yet hoping for some magic

Hi folks my 4 year old imac 20" I believe died on me. I can't believe it. I read everything there is to read, bad caps, bad PSU caps, apple warranty extension. Mine falls within that serial# but apple folks said no it's 4 years. $1799 for 4 years of service just not right. I'm using a 8 years old Win laptop to type this. All was going well till from sleep the imac sounded it was ready for takeoff. I did a hard shut down. (it would not wake) I tried everything but she won't boot. Actually it has booted on occasion but after a while would hard freeze. Followed by hard shutdown, then not booting. During the no boot fans will blast after some 30 second or so. So I take the cover off to start troubleshooting. Apple says its logic board problem. There is no way I'm paying $900 for a new board. I see nothing in the caps that would indicate to replace them. PSU is also fine based on the LED code. LED1 and LED2 light up, so that indicates PSU is working correctly. Its LED3 that will not turn on. I took out the inverter to inspect and again it looks brand new. No smells, burnt sightings, kinked wires....nothing. When it booted I did all the reset key stuff, didn't help. One note before it booted it beeped once. After that beep, I know it will boot. I'm not sure what that beep means. I can't get it to beep again. No chime or bong. However the power light will stay on sometimes or not turn on at all while not booting. I disconnected the ambient sensor, hoping that would do it, and no. Other things I've done is upgrade the HD and memory a while back. I don't believe its an issue cause these were working for a few months before hand, and I put back the original working 512K dimm to test, and all is same.
Here are my questions.
1. What else can i check?
2. How to test the inverter to make sure it works correctly? I'm hoping its that.
3. Can the power light have anything to do with it sensor there maybe?? I know I'm reaching here..
I'm just hoping someone can give me other clues. Like I said 4 years for $1800 is not right. One disturbing thing is apple thinks I got more years then I should have with it. Sorry, I like apple but totally disagree on that. If someone had told me that when I bought it, I would ran the other way real fast.

Are you sure about the serial number & warranty extension? To my knowledge, it was only first generation iMac G5's involved in the 'bad cap' warranty extension & yours sounds like a 2nd generation one (the Ambient Light Sensor version).
As it happens, I have been having similar problems with my iMac G5 ALS model, also about 4 years old. (Note: you may want to skim the next several paragraphs, which describe it in detail, & focus on the conclusion at the end.)
First, for several months it would sometimes not wake from sleep from the keyboard. When this happened, plugging & unplugging the keyboard USB connector would sometimes wake it, then the problem progressed & that wouldn't work but unplugging or plugging in an iPod Shuffle would wake it. Then it got to the point that it would go into a weird 'half-sleep' mode -- everything seemed to be sleeping & the screen was dark but I could hear the fans & hard drive running & the power light was not pulsing but off. At that point not even holding down the power button would do anything but pulling the power cord & plugging it back in would shut the computer down, after which it would start & run normally.
This went on for about 2 weeks, then the display started having persistent artifacts consistent with bad video RAM -- the pointer was surrounded by a hatched pattern, windows by multiple horizontal lines, & Dock & menu bar were overlaid with a grey window-screen-like pattern. Booting into Target Disk Mode or the Apple Hardware Test resulted in vertical broken lines throughout the screen & sure enough, AHT said everything was OK except video RAM -- I couldn't read the result code because of the vertical lines.
This iMac was just being used at the time by my wife for email & she gamely said she could live with the display artifacts, since email windows were displayed cleanly, so for about 10 days that's what we did, pulling the power cord as needed to get the Mac out of its weird 'half-sleep' mode when that occurred. I had & periodically continued to try resetting the SMU & PRAM, emptying caches, etc., & running Disk Utility's Verify Disk check, all to no effect.
Then 2 days ago, I noticed the weirdest behavior yet: the iMac appeared to be sleeping (power light pulsing) but an attached iPod Shuffle's light was flashing orange, indicating it was mounted & should not be disconnected. On closer examination, I noticed that the fans were not running but the back of the case was very, very hot. I pulled the power plug & opened the case to discover that the CPU shroud was too hot to touch! Trying the internal power switch diagnostic immediately lit LED 4, the over-temperature indicator so I left the Mac on its face with the cover off to cool down.
To my relief, 20 minutes later hitting the internal power switch resulted in a normal startup chime & LED's 1 through 3 lighting up in the normal way. I closed it up & tried the normal startup but it hung at the grey screen with the spinner. Since this iMac had two partitions, one for Leopard as the default & one for Tiger, I restarted & with the option key selected the Tiger partition.
Amazingly, not only did it start up perfectly into Tiger but there was no trace of video artifacts. I discovered that the Leopard partition now had an unrepairable 'bad thread count' error, even though all previous checks with Disk Utility had shown no problems. I restored the Leopard partition from a Time Machine backup, restarted into it & since then everything has worked perfectly, even to the point that AHT can now find no video RAM or any other problems.
Conclusion: I have no idea what happened or why everything is working perfectly now. It seems impossible that any software change could fix a hardware problem. The persistent video RAM issue occurred even when booting from the AHT & installer discs, which should rule out any problem with the version of the OS installed on the hard drive. I have no faith that this iMac won't start displaying power/sleep/video issues again, but try as I might I can no longer find any sign of any problems.
My half-baked hypothesis for now is that the severe over temperature condition somehow cooked out whatever hardware problem caused it, & in so doing "cured" the other problems, too. This makes almost no sense, except for one thing: I noticed two slightly bulging capacitors on the motherboard that I don't think were there some months back when I last opened the case. A partial failure mode for a "popped" electrolytic capacitor is that this lets moisture into it, partially shorting it out. It is remotely possible that the moisture was cooked out of these two caps & that is why it is working OK now ... maybe.
Anyway, because of this, I suggest that you look very carefully at all the black electrolytic capacitors on your motherboard, checking for even the slightest sign of bulging or separation of the three sections of their metal tops along the Y-shaped score lines. Even if your # 1 & 2 LED's are lighting up, you may have a power related problem caused by these capacitors being bad. If so, it may be that a technician can replace them & get your iMac working again without an expensive logic board replacement.

What version of office for mac is mininally needed to be installed on 10.9? I just tried my own 2004, which as too old, am hoping 2008 or 2011 since I don't want to buy a new one...

Hi,
I work on a second hand macbook pro running on 10.9 and now want office for mac on it, additionally to the sofware I already have.
On my old macbook I had office 2004 and since I still have two product codes unused was hoping these can still be used, but I tried to install it and it's just not supported anymore.
Since I don't have a lot of budget right now I hope 2008 may be possible to be installed since I can get one for only a little money (want no illegal copies), but it's a shame to get it if it turns out not to work.......I read somewhere 2008 is not supported anymore but I don't know if that necessarily means it cannot be installed.....
or do I need 2011 at least?
Or would 10.9 actually only allow the latest 2013 version to be installed?
I'd like to know before buying anything......
Right now it actually has an office 2011 version installed by the previous user but unfortunately that one was not activated and I have no way to retrieve the product code.
as i said, i like it to be legal, that's why I prefer buying the original software and the older versions can be found cheaper......
I hope someone can give me some advice!
thanks,

Office 2011 is the current boxed version for the Mac. The two versions are Home and Business. The difference (besides price) is that the Business version includes Outlook. Both contain Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
Actually, the Home version also has Outlook hidden on the disk. If you decided later you want to use Outlook, you can call Microsoft for an unlock code to install it from the Home version disk. The unlock cost is essentially the difference between the Home and Business versions.
You mentioned Office 2013, but that's the current Windows version. MS hasn't really stated one way or another if there will be a feature comparable boxed Mac version. If there is, it looks like we won't see it until sometime in 2014. To get the current functionality of Office 2013 in a Mac product, you'd have to purchase the subscription based Office 365.
It does depend on your needs. Often, Office must be used for true compatibility with people you work, or collaborate with. It also has many features the free alternatives don't offer, and can't import or replicate. Otherwise, as Gary noted, Open Office is a good free choice.

HT1363 whenever I do this, the apple symbol appears for a second and then it has the red cross symbol again - which tells me to go to the support part of the apple website; so i end up back where i started, anybody know what i can do?

I just wanted to restore my ipod nano, it told me to go to the support area of the apple website which i did andi followed the steps and they worked for about 2 seconds and then it told me to go back to the support area. it is fairly old but i dont understand why it will not reset?

Hey Megan,
If you are getting the Red X on your iPod nano, check out the following article. Of it does not work check out the second section in the article.

My iPhone wont let me look at my messages everytime I click on the icon it just freezes there,and then aborts its self out. My friend sent me all these pictures and I think that's why? How do I fix it? HELP!

My iPhone wont let me open my text messages. Everytime I click on the icon it freezes there for a minute and then aborts itself. My friend sent me a whole bunch of pictures at once and I believe that's why. I need a solution! HELP! Please.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I can not set up my files, my programs. I need help I have been at this all day and already sent a question. I can't get this done Please help me.

Last night Chrome and Google 1+ locked down my pc because I disconnected plus one. I could not even get to Norton. This morning I talked to Norton and they moved my system to FF, I have two accounts Donnie p grant and Donnell Grant. I play Mafia Wars and a browser must be compatible with Client Addon. I am a gamer and had always used FF but was having trouble and switched to Chrome. When Norton moved my files back to FF she downloaded them but I can't get everything back to where it should be and I do not understand so much of it. Please help me set my FF account back up. Thank you
