Hi, i have an iPad4 and for the last two days it has been stuck with the iCloud Backup pop up. I cant click on OK or turn it off. It has been connected to a wifi network and left locked and plugged in all day. Any one got any ideas please?
Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Firefox has been crashing at random times for the last two days
Firefox has been crashing randomly for the last two days. I had to download Malwarebytes yesterday because I picked up Malware Doctor (I think that's the name.) It was soon after I had removed the spyware that Firefox started crashing.

For the last two days my PSE 12 hasn't been working at all.
For the last two days my PSE 12 hasn't been working at all. Been working perfectly for a couple of months since I got it. Now i keep getting 'Photoshop elements 12 has stopped working' messages and then it just closes. Ran it in compatibility mode. No better. Any ideas/help please?
I have seen that the uninstall/reinstall route is a posibility, but I can't find the Key Code i got with my copy, so not entirely sure I want to uninstall.

There a few things you could try. One, is to start up iTunes in safe mode by holding Shift-Control and the other option is to try opening in a new user on your computer. Check out the article below for more information and further troubleshooting.

Hi, my iTunes Match has been stuck on "5490 of 5518 songs checked for the last two days." Have tried stopping and restarting it a few times but it always gets stuck in the same place. Any advise on where to go from here?

Am getting an opaque strip about 1inch wide across bottom of home screen for the last two days. How can I clear this please?
Have you maybe removed all the apps from the dock? the dock is the strip that remains constant and shows the apps that you place there across all sprinboard pages.

Help! I can send email but I have not received any emails for the last 2 days. What can I do?
Hello Liz,
It sounds like you are not able to receive emails on your iPad. I recommend the following resources for an issue like this:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Got the last two days my hotmail account on my iPad won't send e mails. Can still receive and my sky e mail account works fine too....any advice...message says.... 'sending message content to the server failed'. Incoming server is Pop3 and outgoing is smtp.live
I assume you're using Mail. I'm sure you've checked and re-checked but it is very likely something minor wrong with your smtp settings.
In Mail>Preferences>Accounts, click on your email account tab and from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)' drop down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server list. On the Account information tab make sure you have got the correct smtp server address. On the Advanced tab verify that you have the correct Authentication, that the Password is correct and that the User name is correct. I have various email accounts and some of them require the complete email address against User Name while others only require the part of the address before the @ symbol. Get that wrong and it could be your problem. -
for the last several days I have experienced the dreaded wite screen of death upon power up of my 2008 Mac Pro 2.8,
Screen will hang white - no apple logo - when I hit the power button resart - the mac power light does not go out, but "clicks" and the mac will restart.
I get the white apple logo screen and then some terminal script (about 20-25 lines) that lasts for a dew seconds - then an apple message appears telling me that my computer needs to be restarted due to an error - press a key or wat.... this will cycle continuously.
If I power down and boot in safe mode - the computer seems to start up - with a crash log.
Once I restart from safe mode - the mac seems to start fine and I am using it without issue - (of course until I power down and come back in the studio the following day...)
I am not familiar with crash logs - but here are the two most recent...

Remove the third party uaudio and motu drivers then restart your Mac.
Once I restart from safe mode - the mac seems to start fine and I am using it without issue
Safe Mode only loads required kernel extensions which is why Safe Mode works, "without issue" ... -
Why is face time not connecting to India
Face time is not connecting to India for the past 5 days. What could be the reason?
If you'd searched the forum first, as instructed to do before posting a question, you'd have seen that multiple users have reported a problem with Facetime, and that Apple is working to fix it.
Patience. -
I've been running Time Machine in the background for as long as I've owned my current Mac--- a few months. It is a completely generic set-up: it's a desktop (rarely shut off or asleep) connected to an external hard drive that is much larger (1 TB) than my internal hard drive (0.5 TB), and Time Machine is configured to save backups of my whole internal drive to the external drive. The external is half-full, and the internal is a little more than half-full. I often hear my external crunching away, working on something.
I recently needed to access an old file, so I went into Time Machine mode on the folder where it had been deleted a few weeks ago. While I'm not upset that it isn't available (it's my own fault for deleting it), I didn't expect the Time Machine to have such a bad distribution of saved backups. There are 30 backup snapshots of the past two days, and nothing earlier. I was expecting something more like a few from today, a few from this week, a few from this month, and a few going all the way back in time--- a broader distribution.
I don't see any way to control this in the Time Machine Preferences (in fact, very little control at all). Is there a secret way to control it, or some tip to ensure a more useful distribution of saved snapshots?
Thanks,
-- JimThanks, but it doesn't exactly address my question. TimeMachineEditor allows me to set the intervals or times when backups occur, but it doesn't control the algorithm that decides which snapshots should be deleted. My problem was that Time Machine chose to delete all of the old snapshots and keep only the most recent ones: I'd like it to keep more of the recent ones than the old ones, but still keep some old ones.
In fact, the (unmodifyable) text on the Time Machine control panel says that it keeps:
hourly backups for the past 24 hours
daily backups for the past month
weekly backups for all previous months
That would be perfect if it were true.
Perhaps the algorithm did the wrong thing because the size of my internal hard drive varied quite a lot a few days ago: a process got out of control and used up all of my internal disk space. I killed the process and deleted its output (several times), so my internal disk eventually went back down to normal. Perhaps in the intervening hours, Time Machine made a backup, once an hour, and used up all of the external drive space. When it had to choose between keeping "weekly backups of previous months" and "hourly backups of the past 24 hours", it chose to keep hourly backups of the past 24 hours. This was the wrong choice in my case (it was the unwanted output) and is probably the wrong choice in most cases.
Is there a way to control the algorithm that decides which backups to keep and which to delete? I would have it delete the hourly, daily, and weekly backups in a way that preserves their relative distribution.
By the way, while I have made it sound like my problem was a runaway log file (something that would be easy to put in an excluded directory with Time Machine's "Options" button), it was a VirtualBox snapshot merge. The data in question are precious, but were unnecessarily copied many times while VirtualBox failed to merge them properly. I can't simply exclude a directory: I'm talking about a more general problem.
Thanks!

For the last two days, firefox has been freezing or Not Responding and giving error message
every 30 seconds or so firefox tells me it is not responding. and once it comes back it gives me the following error message.
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: http://cdn4.specificclick.net/img/?ag=1&pb=9788&pg=293059886053054629&us=IuOJnv_awGu5HD&nwk=1&rnd=53585:3534
I did install a java update, don't know if this is related.It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
