Why is the ios 8 download restarting every time it gets to a certain point?
iPad Mini Retina 16gb Wifi - ios 7.1.2
i have been trying for the last three days to download the ios 8 update directly to my iPad Mini. Unfortunately it only gets as afar as 7 hours remaining because when I check to see if there has been any change shortly after, it says that the download has been requested once again and so it's starts ALL OVER AGAIN. Why is this happening!? Please help!!
. But thank u for ur help anyway.☺️

First, get the installer directly from Adobe. Second, be sure you're getting the latest version (you will if you use that link). There was a serious security flaw in earlier versions of Flash so Apple's XProtect system has blocked all earlier versions. Third, make sure all browsers and the Flash Preference in System Preferences are closed. -

Why does the EEvents message come up every time the computer is opened after being shut off?

You need to check the software you run.
Some officially supported and sold Mac versions of software use Wine for porting in some fashion or another. If some program you are running is spawning these Wine processes, its probably buggy and not shutting down correctly.
How to figure out which are Wine and which are not...?
Well if its a Cider ported game, you just see if there is a Cider logo on the game.
If its Wineskin ported, theres no super easy way to tell, depending on how much its been modified, but you can look inside the app (right click and "Show Package Contents") and go to Contents/MacOS and see if Wineskin executable is in there. Unless its a very old version of Wineskin it shouldn't be able to hang like that without major issues int he Windows software running in it, and I don't know any any company would release it if it was that buggy.
If its WineBottler Ported, you'll notice quickly because it launches X11 and runs the windows under X11... of course not all X11 apps are Wine, but if you have a program that launches and runs in X11.app then you can look inside it at Contents/MacOS to see if its Wine related.
It could also be Crossover, or a Crossover port of software... you'd have to dig around inside of its app too to see if it looked like one of those. -
Why does the cursor skip a line every time I start a new contact?
I just got my first iPhone, and I love many things about it, but I'm pretty frustrated about other things. One frustrating thing is that if I go to save a number as a contact, it brings up the new contact page, and EVERY time I click on the first name line, it goes there and immediately jumps to line 2. Same if I click on line 3, it skips to line 4. Or I'll type a letter or two and it skips one or several lines. Anybody else have this issue? Anybody know any fixes? Please help. This will make me lose my cool if I can't get this glitch fixed.
Hi drewskiiiiiiiii,
If you are having issues with your iPhone's Contacts application acting oddly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Mac app store download restarts every time connection drops
For the past 2 weeks I have been trying to download a game from the Mac App Store. The game file is around 20gig, so it takes quite a bit of time to download.
My issue is: Every time my connection drops or my Macbook goes to sleep, the download has to start again.
For example, today it was 50% (10gig) done, then all of a sudden, it said an error occurred but when I clicked to resume the download, it started from scratch. So I lost about 6 hours of downloading time.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance.Hi ..
Check your download speeds here > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
If your download speed is less than 10Mbps, the file may be timing out before it can finish downloading.
Make sure your Mac has sufficient storage space. Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, MacKeeper, and anti virus software can prevent apps from downloading
Disable anti virus software if installed
Check the firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Why does the spinning wheel come up every time I open an application
Every time I open an application, I get the "spinning wheel" for an extended period of time. This is a VERY FAST computer and this slows me down terribly.
For instance: I just opened iTunes to sync my iPhone. When I opened the software I got the wheel, when I tried to select my iPhone, and yet again when I tried to hit the "sync" button. This is more than is typical, but it happens EVERY TIME I open EVERY application.You need to check the software you run.

I can actually hold a key and it will take me to the logins and when I login I have to hold the key the whole time I'm on it or else it restarts. What do I do to fix this problem? Please help
Hi Thebestest1v1er,
Based on your description of being able to Safe Boot (holding down the shift key) but not boot normally, it sounds like your startup/restart issue may be related to one of the things that Safe Boot disables. You can find more information about them here:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
It may also be related to a disk or file system issue (as that is also something checked during Safe Boot). You may find these articles helpful as well:

Hi there
Your Adobe ID was associated with the US instead of Denmark.
Please go ahead and create a new Adobe ID with the correct country, using the same email address. You will then be able to make a purchase.

I set the balance and sound levels on my MacBook Pro 10.8.4 but when I start up again the balance has shifted to one channel or the other [left or right] and the volume has become maximum. Does not always happen but frequently does. Any ideas?
It should remain the way you have adjusted them. Delete the System Preferences.plist per these instructions:
