Worried about message pop-up
I am using Firefox 4.0.1 on Win XP, and periodically I get a pop-up message which looks for all the world like a Firefox message. It reads: "Update Failed. Something is preventing Firefox from updating securely. Please make sure you have the latest version of Firefox from http://en-GB.www.mozilla.com/en-GB/firefox/" What concerns me is that I can't right click the hyperlink to check it, and unlike most links it does not show me a destination link on my Firefox page bottom left. I have run a virus check and nothing has come up. Any thoughts?
I just sent you a private message. If you are not sure how to check your forum messages, this post has instructions.

Can I turn off, or remove myself my iCloud account, without losing all my documents on my iMac? My iCloud window popped up unexpectedly, and am worried about a hacker. When I try and sign out of iCloud, The iCloud window is giving me a message that "If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents stored in iCloud will be removed from this Mac". I have iMac OS X 10.7.5, 2.7ghz, Intel core i5. I don't use my iCloud service, and I somehow my iPhone linked it to my computer by mistake. I don't want the service or need it, & don't want my info in cyberspace. I don't want to lose my documents on my hard drive, and it appears that I haven't used any data in iCloud, as 5GB of 5GB is available. HELP.
I would love to hear that Apple has remedied this problem. From other discussion strings that I am following related to this issue, it seems thus far we remain out of luck. I did discover that if I log onto iCloud.com I can access my files that way. Still, what a pain.
When I got the message re iCloud Drive as I was setting up my phone after the update to iOS8, it said I wouldn't be able to access my files unless all of my devices were running iOS8 OR Yosemite. That message was misleading as it really should have said all devices need to be running iOS8 AND your mac needs to be running Yosemite, as it was not an "either or" situation. So frustrating... -
I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now, my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!
Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -
Has anyone had an error message pop up about their i/o settings?
I tried recording a mixtape in GB and when I would get past a few minutes I would get an I/O error message. Has this happened to anyone else , and if so would you know why?

Some one please help. I contacted customer service and was told that i have a virus. I went into my security suite and deleted a bunch of "Trojan" files that were detected as viruses, and i still get this pop-up. Please, if someone knows how i can fix this myself please let me know.

What virus protection are you using? I use Avast free version. Also make sure your signature files are updates.
Also scan for spyware. Good software malwarebytes.
After you make use you have these installed, run you computer in safe mode while scanning. -
The following message popped up on my MacBook Air: Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. What does it mean?
Hi SLCfromMadison,
This is the message that you'll receive when your Apple ID is signed into on an iPhone. If you haven't done so, the article linked below details a number of steps that can help verify the security of your Apple ID should you think that an unauthorized person has access to it.

Have a BETA version of 0S-7 that was on my iPhone5 that I bought from my son. Activated it with my Apple ID and it's been working great for over a month.
Last night my phone came up with a screen that said "Activate iPhone". So i've tried to no avail.
When hookup up via USB cable to iTunes on laptop, a message pops up that says: "The software on my iPhone has expired and must be updated to a newer version".
How do I do that?
Thanks for any insight.Beta versions are for developers only.

I was looking at youtube.com, which always tells me my browser is not supported and recommends I download Firefox, but that is what I was using, so I went to Firefox to check for updates. (I think I also had freecycle.org open.) Then this message popped up in a new page: Mozilla security found (something like "too much", forget exact word) activity on your computer so it will do a fast scan of system file. There was an OK button. The page address was: http://update17.stegner.ce.ms/index.php?Q7Lhl9ShbRxGJXpkM1VLSi4ZE8H4pTedoVPySgeppM3VpC+thEspcFG7qxHgn1pdsC2h5ygPGWI3t5hXqMzL9EQaZZ3J1e3CKXgCb0Qp. I did not click OK but copied the link and closed the window which closed the internet. I have never seen this before and would like to know if it is really Mozilla or possibly something malicious. Thank you.
Good catch. That almost certainly is an invitation to download malware.
There are a lot of infected web sites pushing "fake antivirus" software. If you have any doubts about whether your system might have become infected, you can supplement your regular security software with these two highly regarded scanners:

Do I need to worry about this?
It has been an interesting few months with my one year old 13" MBP. Lots of spinning beach balls followed by a hard drive crash. Apple was quick to replace the hard drive. And as I had everything backed up on Time Machine I was able to quickly restore everything.
All was good for a few months until the beachballs, freezes, and finder crahes began again. Made another trip to the Genius bar where they thought I might have re-downloaded a corrupt file from Time Machine. They cleaned my temp files and caches and things seemed to work well in the store.
When I returned home I had the same issues. They had prepared me for this. So a system restore, a re mount and re start of time capsule and everything seems to be working well. Speedy, no crashes, no freezes.
The issue is that I wanted to double check so I ran disk verify and permission verify on the disk utility. To my surprise it came back with a LONG error log as below. So long, I could not get it all into this post. But it seems like a recurrent message. Do I need to worry about any of this? What should I do next, if anything? Thanks in advance for your response.

You definitely need to repair your disk. If you can, boot from something else, such an external disk or the system discs that came with your Mac. You can also cause the disk to be repaired by booting into "Safe Mode": http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 . If that process can't repair your disk, you may need one of the more-powerful disk utilities such as Disk Warrior.

For Christmas, my older sister got me a portable charger for my iPod. I'm not sure if it was capable with apple products, but it charged my iPod when I used it. My brother came upstairs and took my portable charger from me, so I went to go use my wall charger. The wall charger I have has always worked and it charges my mom's iPhone, so the problem I have isn't my charger. After I plugged my iPod in my charger, a message popped up saying "This accessory may not be supported". I was confused because this never has happened before, so I tried my portable charger after I got the message. The portable charger didn't charge my iPod anymore apparently after I tried my charger. All this happened the day after Christmas, so it's almost been a month without my iPod charging properly. My iPod does charge, but only when I plug it in halfway and am about to turn it all the way off. The only way I get it to charge is when I plug it in real fast as soon as I turn my iPod completely off. I've also restarted my iPod, cleaned out the charging area, asked people at stores that work with technology, and etc, so if someone could help me resolve this problem that would be legit because I use my iPod on a daily basis.
That message is usually due to a bad cable.

When I try entering a new event in iCal on my MacBook Air, I get an error message popping up on my screen that says:
The server responded with “502”
The request for account “iCloud” failed.
The server responded with “502” to operation CalDAVSetPropertyQueueableOperation.

I am then given the option of staying Online or going Offline.
Can anyone help me?
thanksHello b.krushel,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
Any number of things could cause this issue, so I would recommend this article named iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
These sections in particular:
General Troubleshooting
Make sure there are no current issues listed on the System Status that affect iCloud Calendar. The System Status is located on the iCloud Support webpage.
Make sure you have fully enabled iCloud Calendar for the client you are using (for more setup and troubleshooting information on iOS, OS X, Windows and iCloud.com, see the additional details below).
Check to see if the issue you are seeing is covered in iCloud Help. To search iCloud Help, visit help.apple.com/icloud.
Check your settings and preferences as something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues which are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
Troubleshooting Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion (iCal on OS X Lion)Note: For instructions on setting up iCloud Calendar with Calendar or iCal on your Mac, see iCloud Setup.If you are having trouble with Calendar or iCal on a Mac and you are using iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Make sure you are using OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later. Click here for help verifying the version of OS X you are using.
Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in iCal. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Preference pane in System Preferences. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on a Mac.
Make sure you enter and update calendar information in the iCloud section of Calendar or iCal. Only calendars and events in the iCloud section of the Calendar or iCal Calendar list will be pushed to iCloud. Both Calendar and iCal for the Mac support the display of and interaction with multiple accounts and datastores, for example, iCloud, On My Mac, Exchange, Google, and so on. This makes it easy to create or modify events or calendars in a section of Calendar or iCal that may not be updating iCloud. Learn more about moving local calendars to iCloud.
In some cases, you may find that you have data duplicated in both the local On My Mac and the iCloud sections of Calendar or iCal. Learn more about resolving this issue.
You can make the iCloud calendar your default calendar for all new events. In Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion, choose Calendar > Preferences > General, or in OS X Lion, choose iCal > Preferences > Generaland under the Default Calendar heading, select one of the Calendars under the iCloud heading. Close the Preferences window to save this change.
If recent changes simply don't appear, try forcing Calendar or iCal to refresh by selecting Refresh All from theCalendar menu.
Make sure your account was successfully created in Calendar on your Mac (or iCal). After upgrading to iCloud Calendar, you may need to quit and reopen Calendar (or iCal). To confirm your account is configured correctly in iCal:
Open Calendar (or iCal).
Open Calendar (or iCal) Preferences.
Click Accounts. You should see an account with your iCloud member name entered.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Take care,
Sterling -

My iPod will not update on iTunes. A error message pops up
I have been trying to update my ipod and it has really been making me upset. I try it at least every week, to see if it will work, but it doesn't. I can't even get the apps I want, because my ipod needs to be updated to a iOS 4.3. Everytime I try to update it, I go to devices, then I press update to 4.3 or something like that, and then it's about 30 seconds, and then a message pops up and say,"There is a problem with your connection, try contacting a server, reconnecting the internet, or try again later." The message is related something to that. I try to reconnect, come back later, and it still does the same thing. I am getting very tired of this. I need somebody to PLEASE tell me how to fix this, PPPPPPPLLLLLLEEEEEAASSEEE!!!!! Thank you!
