Why is AppleTV showing a popup menu about AirPlay all the time?

I am experiencing a problem with AppleTV that I never had before:
It is a black popup message that keeps poping up on my TV during my Slide Show.
It says:
AirPlay
Wirelessly send what's on your iOS device or computer to this display using AirPlay. To learn more, go to apple.com/airplay
Then it displays an instruction to Choose Wi-Fi Network and Choose This AppleTV
Does anyone know what it is all about and how I could fix it? I never had this problem before and I really need help because I want to play this slideshow on my TV during a party tonight.
Any tip will be mostly welcomed!

This is not a fix, this is an annoyance. I want both features! And I don't want to have to go into the settings menu to change between the two! I didn't have to do this before, and I don't want to do it now. Sometimes I use the mirror features, and sometimes I want to see my slideshow with pictures. Fix this apple!

Help menu options change all the time - repair install always shows

After installing Acrobat X, I noticed the Help menu options change all the time. The repair install option is always present and sometimes the deactivate option is present but grreyed-out, somtimes it is enabled and most of the time it doesn't even show up. I have the full version purchased from a major online retailer.

I should add the following: The Sound control panel will not even let me click on the "Show volume in Menu Bar" check box.
I just now installed the latest Brother control panel (Leopard compatible) and it DOES appear in the menu bar.

I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

Show All Menu Items - On all the time - PSCS4

I must be missing something because I'm sure Adobe would make a way to keep this feature on all the time. But I've been through the preferences and can't find it. Maybe someone can help me.
How can I make Photoshop CS4 Show All Menu Items - All the time?
It slows me down and frustrates me having to keep clicking on this each time I need the full menu, which is pretty much all the time.

> Workspaces contain more than just the menus to display. If you just want to control just the menu items, go to Window> Workspace> Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus... Here you can choose 'Photoshop Defaults' from the Set: pull down on the Menus tab.
> 'Essentials' is used Suite wide and may make more sense in some of the other products. Unfortunately, Ps was burdened with 'Essentials' and 'Basic' (effectively antonyms) in the process.
Thank you Steve.

AppleTV and iTunes without Leaving Computer On All The Time/NAS iTunes Server

I begrudge having to leave my iMac on all the time just so now and again I can play music, pictures and video from it through AppleTV. My iMac is 2 floors up from the AppleTV, and as there is no wake on LAN working (I can't get it to work if there is (I have Lion)) I don't want to go up there to turn the Mac on when I want to use AppleTV.
So I have read some articles about iTunes servers on NAS drives and wondered if that would be a good solution, anyone try them?
If I did have my iTunes library on a NAS drive with an iTunes server, when I start iTunes on my iMac will it then load the iTunes Library as it does now like if it was a local library? So I can still manage it in the same way as I do on my Mac.
I assume then I could have another computer use the same library on the NAS? (although wont do it the same time due to conflicts)
I have iCloud/Match so not so bothered about music as I can play from the Cloud (although its hit ad miss sometimes), but I have videos and pictures I stream to AppleTV so they are more important. I don't want to have a computer left on all the time so I can use AppleTV.
If this is not possible, then I am thinking of getting a Macbook for the lounge, but then I don't want to have to plug/unplug my external hard drives into it all the time, which I am likely to swap with the main iMac too.
Thanks a lot

P.S. I only play music from iCloud as my iMac is not on. So if I can stream to AppleTV without having a computer on, then I would do that to be faster, work all the time, and save bandwidth.

Why Mail on Mavericks keeps Writing changes to disc all the time?

I have updated my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to Mavericks and now my IMAP Gmail account on Mail is having a huge endless "Writing changes to disc" on +/- sometimes with up to 50.000 messages, almost freezing my computer all the time! My Inbox, only has aprox 50 messages, I always move mesages to other folders!
Everything just worked fine on Mountain Lion and now my Mac is very slow because of this. Only if I close Mail than I have my Mac back... but I need to work with Mail open, so thats not an option.

I have the same problem. Since installing Mavericks I have a major issue with Apple Mail drastically slowing my whole system down. As others have mentioned, basically Mail takes over the computer and I find myself looking at spinning beach balls for minutes at a time.
From watching the Mail "Activity Window" (accessible from the "Window" menu item), I have discovered that several times a day it starts "Writing changes to disk" (see screenshot) for no apparent reason (it's not as if I have shifted any mailboxes); and that's the time when everything comes to a shuddering halt. It takes a long time, about half an hour or so, to rewrite 27,000 messages (or some other ginormous number, it varies) to disk, and during that time I'm held up. This problem never arose with Mountain Lion.
Basically it seems to me that Mail has been messed up in Mavericks, and Apple needs to fix it.
It was suggested to me by the Apple "Support Advisor" that the fault may lie with Gmail, due to some changes Google have made. But that sounds like it's a cop-out and anyway it's no excuse. Here are two of the biggest companies in the world who are constantly talking with each other about many things. If it's true (unlikely) Apple should be able to communicate with Gmail and get it sorted.

Why is my iMac running so slow and crashing all the time?

My iMac is last years model, running on Lion OS X. It's one year old, I had it Christmas 2011. It's 1TB with 4GB RAM. It's partitioned with Bootcamp, Windows 7, so it's 100GB Win7 and 900GB OS X. I'm only using 350GB of RAM altogether.
It's started running ridiuclously slow. Firstly, it was just when I started to work with large files in Photoshop (CS5.1). I was attempting to work on a piece for college which size is A2 (594 x 420), but it was painfully slow, so I literally stopped working and started researching into how to improve performance. I deleted a lot of software that I didn't need, verified and repaired discs, nothing seemed to work.
Now Photoshop isn't the only problem. Certain websites aren't loading when they're working fine on my iPhone and on my iMac, such as Facebook, Google, but websites like Twitter and Gmail are working? I downloaded Avast and started to scan for a virus, but then the deadly annoying pop up saying "You need to restart you Mac, hold down the power button etc" popped up... I dunno what I'm supposed to do now, and I dunno why it's acting like this. It's been fine. Think it's a virus? I'm scanning now but nothing found as of yet.
If anybody knows what's going on, or if this has happened to them, please let me know! I know I could just book a Genius appointment and take it to the Apple store, but I have university interviews in a couple of days, no external hard drives to put my work on, and it's 27" which is hard to lug around town...
Thank-you.

Why is my Macbook Pro running so slowly/Pinwheeling all the time in maverick?

In Firefox, Mail, Pages, everywhere! My hard drive is about 1/3 full, I'm not running anything except Firefox, mail, pages, & quicken. I did a disk repair (there were problems) but now they're fixed and it's not any better. Ideas please?

Thank yo so much for taking the time to help me.

Why do I have to "renew Touch ID purchases" all the time?

Why do I have to enter my Apple ID password when updating apps?
If I make new purchases, it seems to go thru with touch ID most of the time, however if I update an app I am forced to manually enter my password.
I have the 7.0.1 update and apple store purchases under the general->fingerprint section is turned on.
I have searched here and the common theme is do the update. It's not that.
So short question is, why do I have to "Confirm Apple ID password for <insert my Apple ID> to renew Touch ID purchases"?

Go to "Settings - iTunes and App Store", and make sure you're logged in correctly there, and if you're not on wifi, make sure to have the "Use Cellular Data" toggled on. Now, go back to Fingerprint and try to toggle the "iTunes and App Store" back on.
If this doesn't work, try logging into your iTunes account from a computer. You may be having problems with your Apple ID or iTunes account, which is a bigger problems than what you've just discovered here. An Apple chat is a quicker way to get in touch with Apple.

Why do I get a non-responding script warning all the time.

Well it happens about every 5 minutes and I don't know why.It causes foxfire to not respond and is making my computer useless.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Why is my Macbook Pro running so slowly/Pinwheeling all the time?

I have had this Macbook for almost exactly a year. It has the Lion OS. It just recently started running very sluggish. It started with iMovie. I do a lot of video projects and iMovie started to constantly shut down, pinwheel, or stop responding and I would have to force quit about every 10 minutes. Now, my safari is running slow, launch pad takes 5-10 seconds to display my apps, and even rolling over my apps on the dock takes a second to magnify. I have looked online for answers, but I am just a 19 year old girl and I don't understand technical things very well.
If some one would take me through a step by step easy to follow process to diagnose my problem I would be so thankful!
I know I have 4 GB right now.
Thank you!

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

Macbook Pro screen showing green line and blacks out all the time

My macbook pro have been recently showing green horixontal line all over the screen at times , and it goes away after restarting couple of times, after i log in the screen black outs after couple of minutes and sometimes the screen act weird
