  • Why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    Largely due to an overloaded server.   Keep trying, every two hours or so.   I suppose it's all down to when Apple staff turn up for work.     Be patient  
    I have read that it is pretty much restricted to Mountain Lion.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does the apple logo randomly pop up on my new ipod touch 5g??

    why does the apple logo randomly pop up on my new ipod touch 5g?????

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears your iPod is defective.

  • Why does the shut down box pop up?

    this is a new problem and seems unrelated to software running. if i don't see the box pop up and the machine begins to shut down on its own-i will come back to a blue screen and have to do a hard shut down. what I've done. unplugged everything and plugged back in. performed a hardware test-it's ok.
    booted in safe mode. repaired permissions. one thing I have not been able to do and that's boot up from the install disc or the tech tool disc. right now, I'm creating a bootable backup on an external drive using synk standard
    any suggestions?

    it happens with the keyboard disconnected. I was surprised it booted up without going through the user screen so I didn't have to enter my password.
    and on another note, I'm sure it's obvious, but how do I boot up from my external drive with my imac? the other day when I was having serious issues while trying to fix this problem, I was unable to boot from my install disc
    thanks so much for your time

  • Why does the Apple password banner pop up all the time for me now? It happens every 2 or 3 minutes.

    For the past couple weeks whenever I am using my phone the banner that pops up for you to type in your password pops up on the screen. It happens everytime I am using the phone, many times a day. Not sure if this is a bug or possible a hack.? I was thinking of resetting the phone but don't want to deal with the hassle and my mind worrying about losing information and media. Thoughts?
    Thanks

    I looked into both these ideas. I was signed in and then signe out and signed back in, didn't fix it. All apps are looking like they are not updating, and all apps are said to be up to date when visiting the app store.

  • Why do I receive the Apple ID box requesting my password?

    Why do I receive the Apple ID box requesting my password?

    Because Apple has been concerned about passwords remaining secure.

  • When I am trying to update or download an app, another Apple ID appears in the Apple ID box, and I can't change it.  The cursor is in the password box and I'm unable to move it back into the Apple ID box in order to change it.

    When I try to update or download an app, very often another Apple ID shows up in the Apple ID box and the cursor is in the Password box and I can't move it back to the Apple ID box in order to put my ID in!  Apple ID looks like an email address of a colleague in my school system, however, I don't know the person and that person has never logged into my computer.

    A stranger's Apple ID appears on your Mac in conjunction with an update notice -

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?

    Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears? 

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can I hook up Apple TV to my HDTV? If so, do I need anything other than the Apple TV box?

    Can I hook up Apple TV to my HDTV? If so, do I need anything other than the Apple TV box?

    You'll need an HDMI cable to hook it to your TV.  Once you have that, you just have to plug in the Apple TV power and then plug it into the television using the HDMI cable.
    EDIT:
    If you don't have wireless you'll also need an ethernet cable to hook the Apple TV up to your router so you can stream content from the internet.

    My wireless router needed restart. And, no Apple TV signal. How do I reset the Apple TV box? no lite. nothing

    The remote app requires both to be on the same network and home sharing to be enabled, you will need the physical remote to set this up. You can purchase a replacement through Apple.

    how do you turn off the apple TV box?  There doesn't seem to be an off button.  The status light stays on.

    Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off.  To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
    If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.
