    Get the message "This Mac cannot connect to iCloud due to a problem with my Id, open Preferences to solve iCloud iCloud" after entering my password which is accepted and then after a minute or two messages is.

    I'm your pain ptapp!

    Through my research for an answer that solves this problem, I have found that not even Apple knows how to solve this problem of password to iCloud.

    All 4 of my devices constantly ask my password because of some problems with xyz account.

    Then I enter the password only to be told that iCloud cannot check my password.

    Then after several repetitions of this I get locked and have to go to the site apple id to change my password.

    I didn't spend $6 000 on these beautiful devices so I could spend countless hours dealing with support (with no positive result) and find themselves just beyond myself in frustration. I have a Mac Pro, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones and an iPod touch. All are behaving this way, no matter what it is I'm doing at the time.

    Apple needs to fix this problem, if they have any idea how to.

    Hi John,.

    Please specify if you have purchased DC Acrobat or Acrobat 11 or upgrade you to the latest patch for Acrobat 11, that is to say 11.0.11 so that we can help you accordingly.

    I wonder if you have checked your system requirements before you download Acrobat.

    Using inferential holmesien and Spadian skills of inquiry, I discovered that the problem lies in a third-party filter application. I determined that since the program gave me the error message when PES 11 has begun its analysis of filter plug-ins, then the problem may lie there. I removed the filter plugins from the program's ' Plugins' directory to another folder and add back one by one until I received the error message. Of course, I have finally found the plugins defective and withdrawn. PES 11 now loads without problem.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hey Roman man,

    I understand that you see a prompt for your login keychain. I can't anymore how do I fix this.

    Now if you have recently changed your password for your Mac, then the password for your keychain will need to be updated. You can make this change in the Keychain Access application. If you do not know the password, then you need to reset the password in the keychain. Take a look at the article below for specific details get this sorted out.

    Make sure that you connect to your cellular network (if you are using SMS), and that you have a data connection as well (if you use iMessage).

    In addition, call the intended recipient and ask that they check the same.

    Hello

    Disable/remove your Verizon Wireless software or contact Verizon for help with this error. Posts like this occur generally when third-party utilities are used to manage connections and issues must be resolved by the Distributor, because they are often specific to that software.

    Verizon support suggest that you go in the Options Internet/Control Panel and on the Connections tab, check the option "never establish a connection" is selected.

    What type of disc to I use to make a backup?

    Hi Heather_604,

    There are two ways you can do: you can convert the external hard drive to NTFS, or you can format the external hard drive to NTFS.

    Personally, I suggest that you format the external hard drive, but this will remove all data from the drive. Temporarily, you can copy what is on the hard drive on your C: drive if you have enough free space (or DVD) - once the external hard drive is formatted NTFS, you can copy everything back.

  • Why do I get messages saying that I have not destroyed tabs; I ususally click on the red dot. why I get this error message?

    In the past I could navigate from one site to another without closing a tab. The messages now appear that say I have does not close a tab and need to close or to restore. I tried closing of tabs as I've used them but my tab bar shows no tabs open when I close Firefox. When I restart Firefox I get messages saying that I did not close the tabs! It's very annoying. How do I put it back for when I click the red dot, it is closed. and when I restarted Firefox it just goes to my home page? I use a Mac 10.6.8

    No, there is no problem now with this parameter when the bug is fixed.
    the problem is basically firefox 20 wrong classifies this way to close the browser as an accident & will launch the restore function of session at the next launch of the browser. the key to everything: config above completely shuts down service sessionrestore for accidents.

    Once the bug should be fixed in firefox 21, I would recommend resetting browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash back to its default value "true" If, so that you get the benefit of a restored session, where firefox crashes really some time.
