Will you help me with troubleshooting why my applications are not loading and why I'm getting so many fork failures?
I have an iMac, 2.5Ghz i5, 12GB RAM, OSX 10.8.4. Things were working fine, but recently I had to install Java (I had to avert my eyes) because it was needed to use a certain web site. This seemed to be the beginning of my problems, but they were easily fixed by repairing permissions. I typically leave my iMac running until recently I noticed applications weren't loading, but by repairing permissions everything seemed to return to normal.
Then I had to use tech support from another company for a diffferent issue. The techy used GoToAssist Customer so he could access my desktop remotely. The problems began to show up more often. Lots of fork failures and spinning beach balls, and applications weren't launching. Consequently, I logged into a guest account to see if the problems existed in that account - and they didn't, everything worked fine, like a new machine. I have repaired permissions until I'm blue in the face - I even resorted to using Onyx, but that didn't help.
I have since removed Java (I wonder if I should remove GoToAssist), but the problems seem to be getting worse (not better). Before I resort to performing a clean re-install of Mountail Lion (and the headaches that it causes) I thought I would reach out to the community to see if anyone has any suggestions. I have got to do something fairly quickly, I need my machine working tomorrow. I wil be so grateful if you can help me. Luckily, I have ML on a thumb drive so a clean install won't take so long, but I also use Windows 7 with Parallels, which makes it a pretty major hassle. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The App store tells me the downloads are complete, however, the føur items still show up on the Purchases page with the message "waiting" and are not loaded into the computer. I cannot even highlight the apps, nothing works.
Try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
FYI... third party download managers will not work with the App Store.

My daughter saved her Pages documents to my iCloud account on her iPhone while my documents were apparently saved only to my phone. Never had a problem with that until tonight when iCloud synched so now I have all of my daughter's homework but all of my paperwork is gone! I logged into iCloud and it is only her documents there. How do I get my Pages documents back without a backup?
iphone 4s, version 6.1.3If you took the picture on your iPhone, they are still there on your iPhone, unless you specifically deleted a particular picture from your iPhone. And likewise, if the picture was taken on your iPad, it is still there on your iPad, unless you specifically deleted that picture from the iPad.
Now ... if you're counting on pictures still "being there" from being on the Photostream ... don't count on that, because that's only a temporary place and it has a time limit and a count limit for how many picture it will have. While the pictures you took on your iPhone and iPad will remain on each one respectively (so you won't lose those), it won't necessarily remain on the Photostream part ... which is only for sharing anyway ... and not meant for storage.
Whatever pictures you had on your Camera Roll and thus is in the backup in iCloud, will still be there. -

When I download an app it doesn't download automatically any more.. I've only had my iPad less than a month.
Just wondering why it has decided to change? XHere are a number of things that you can try.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons
And you can always finish the app updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad. -
when I click to open the internet through Mozilla Firefox, I get this message; "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click on OK to terminate the application."
When I do this, I have to click on it twice before the box goes away. I still can't access the internet through Mozilla.Well, if they are private range IPs it does not make any difference. Everybody use them.
Anyway hide any personal information. -

Hello, we have both Creative Cloud membership and Creative Cloud for team. Can you help me with the difference and if i need to have both? We have 9 employees that are using it. Just not sure if i'm paying for something i don't need.
Thank youPlease refer to Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud / Common Questions
CC is for retail use with 20 GB of storage space, CCT is where number of seats are purchased & assigned by one program admin where each seat gets 100GB of storage space.
You can not have both the CC & team in one account as it will only provide you added storage space of 120 GB but you can activate the CC any of them or either of them twice as CC is based on Adobe ID.

Will Apple help us with ATT rate hikes? Who do I contact?
Just a few months ago - and at the time I entered into my 2 year contract - unlimited textings was avaialble for less that 5 dollars more. But that is now gone and what has taken its place is just Dick Channey crazy!
Wasnt the whole point of APPLE insisting that phone plans all come with unlimited internet so that this would encourage the owners to fully integrate the iphone in to their daily lives? Does having huge rate increases in texting help that cause ?
MY QUESTION TO APPLE and its user forums - WHO do I contact at apple or at ATT for help on this issue??
Thats what I want in a nutshell. If you want, I can tell ya more.
Harry
iphone, ipod and shuffle owner
MORE is this...........................
I do understand the nature of big business and partnerships etc.
I do understand that Apple would like to not be involved in disputes between ATT and its customers.
I GET THAT. But can Apple help me anyway just for the reason that I WANT TO KEEP MY IPHONE?!?!?
ATT has implemented monsterous rate hikes and LIMITATIONS on package combinations so that iphone users will pay as much or more for Texting than they do for unlimited internet.
We had to live with unlimited internet not including unlimited texting. OK fine, thats how it was when we signed up and you have to take it or leave it. But now with the new changes in rates - here is what the iphone user has as their options.
200 included texts for free
or
$5 - get 200 more - 400 texts total
or
THE NEXT OPTION - $20 MORE, for not unlimited but 1500 texts.
Does having to keep an eye on your text totals or paying at least $85 / month sound like the vision that apple wanted for the iphone users?
if it doesnt, WILL YOU HELP US?I didnt forget that - its I dont know that statement to be true.
I have been with ATT since Cingular and I've had internet,text and MMS combo packages for some time now; that Includes shopping around for the right phone and plans combo. And I know for a fact that there were MANY combos of unlimited and they were FAR from 50 bucks.
There certainly might be a webpage or two with some ancient pricing plans offered. And I am sure that any one of those would be superceeded by another new price offer on the same plan.
so I didnt forget that; I knew it to be not on point. -

Will Apple help me with this issue?
Dear Sir or Madam，
I am a student in China, I really need your help, my iphone now problems bothers me! HELP ME PLEASE!!!
As I bought my iPhone 4s(16GB,White) in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax, unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in China using local carrier.Now I am in China, not the normal use of the phone, I rely on odd jobs to earn, very not easy, English is not my mother tongue, maybe there are many grammatical mistakes, I hope you'll forgive me! Mobile phone can not be used normally I am very sad, I can not contact the parents and friends, can not let them worry about me, I've tried all means, including the upgrade to 6.1, but still can not solve the problem, I think maybe I am in China, so can not be used normally, at this moment I am very anxious, because of the time difference, it is later I can send mail, you can see it, please help me, a Chinese student's request!
I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!We are not Apple, and Apple does not unlock phones. Sprint will unlock phones, but you have to qualify. One of the qualifications is to have been a customer in good standing for a period of time. You can check their website for what that is. After that, they can unlock the GSM side of the phone for International use, that is it. If you are on a CDMA carrier, then it cannot be unlocked. Are you trying to use a local SIM card in China?
Your only option is to contact Sprint to see if you qualify for an unlock. Only they can unlock it. Sprint is one of the poorest choices to take to another country. -

I do not know what you mean by a Windows 8.1. Please clarify.
The Apple superdrive is designed to be used with the following Macs.
It will not work with any other Mac unless you perform this modification;
