Had hard drive renewed due to product recall (iMac) backed up complete system on time machine . Had the drive done got mac back tried to reinstall from time machine .The new drive tells me that the space has been taken up but can't find where the file have gone. Need to free up the space that the ghost file take up so I can drag drop from ex drive onto harddrive

Here's the scoop, new friend.....
When you boot into Time Machine you'll get the same OS X Utilities screen as you would if you booted into the Recovery HD. So, from there go into Disk Utilities to erase/format your internal drive. After that's done, back out to the OS X Utilities screen and select the restore option. Just follow the prompts to select the TM back up date you want to restore from and where to restore it to. Pretty straight forward.

    I have tried to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional XI this morning and payment (AED 1983.53) has been taken, I received a message stating there was/is a problem processing my order and that I should contact your customer service team in UAE.  Having tried this, I was met with a recorded message, in Arabic, and no options to speak to anyone.  I have found this process extremely frustrating and poor on your behalf.  Not providing any options to speak to an Adobe representative is equally annoying.  Please get back to me ASAP, as I need to use the product immediately.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

    I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

    Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

    Are you not backing your photos up to iCloud? Dropbox? Any of the other options? If not, sorry, you will lose your photos.
    You must use a computer to restore. Doesn;t matter if it's yours or not - any computer will do as long as it has the latest version of iTunes.

    I was recently blocked from using app Jack'D. Message I receive says "Your device has been blocked". How can I get around this?

    Quoted from their FAQ's:
    I got an error message saying my device is blocked. Why did this happen?
    There are two reasons this could happen: You have deleted your account or you have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
    - You have deleted your account.
    When you delete your account, you agree that your device would be blocked for at least one month. This policy is enforced in order to protect users from stalkers. (If the system allowed users to create and delete their accounts any time they wanted, the Block feature would be compromised and wouldn't be able to protect users effectively.) Please understand this is not a punishment but a security measure intended to keep all of our users safe.
    - You have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
    Users of this mobile application are required to comply with our terms of service and instructions provided by our service team. The most common violations include, but are not limited to: Creating multiple accounts, uploading pictures not complying with our terms, and abusing the Report feature. In most situations, you will get a warning before you are banned from the app. If you receive a warning from our service team, please read it carefully and take it seriously. If anything is not clear, please contact user support for clarification.

    Doublechecking ... you get that when you use the following procedure?
    In your Start menu, right-click "Computer" (or "My Computer" if using XP) and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Automatic":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC. Do you still get the message about the service being disabled?

  • Updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer.

    I updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer. My phone has also been freezing regularly since I updated.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

    There is nothing you can do then. You have a brick.

  • Can't find where the Nokia Connectivity Cable Driv...

    Hi. Just as the topic says, I can't find where the NCCD is installed on my pc. I tried searching for it but all I find is the setup. Can anyone help me find it? I'll be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

    When people have two item and they feel it is a troublesome thing that when they have to put the function of the two items together, what should they do? Of course they can look for item that at the same time owns two kinds of the function that people requires. Maybe this is not easy to understand, and you can take one thing as an example. For example, in the past the size of the umbrella is a little huge and sometimes it is not easy to carry and can’t be used to protect people from the hot sunshine in the summer. Then the folding sun umbrella and folding umbrella come into the market and now is widely used by people. And this rule also goes when you want to buy the WiFi & Bluetooth Signal Jammer that own the ability of both jamming the cell phone and the GPS signals.

  • I plugged my phone into my a different computer (mac) that was not mine and it asked me to restore the phone. I started to back up the phone, then ended the phone got unplugged in the middle of the backup. Now we can't find where the iPhone backed up.

    If it there is a backup you will find in in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup.  (Just open Finder>Go>Go To Folder..., past this in the path box and click Go.)

  • Apple says  Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook  once they are synced.

    Apple says  Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook  once they are synced. Any suggestions?

    I'll guess you've already discovered the answer to this, but just in case:
    Reminders works with Outlook tasks by syncing with iCloud, or through Exchange. You can't sync iOS Reminders with Outlook Tasks via USB/iTunes (like you can do with Notes, Calendar, Contacts).
    So the marketing material on Reminders is a little misleading in that it's not specific enough -- there is no syncing without one of those intermediary systems mentioned above.
    On a side note, syncing Tasks/Reminders via iCloud is not very good in my opinion:
    Requires that you sync to the cloud, even if you have no other use for storing personal data in the cloud.
    Requires that the iCloud Control Panel be installed on your PC (not sure about Mac).
    After syncing, you'll find new Calendar and Task groups called "iCloud" have been created in Outlook. The calendar groups appear to be created even if you're only syncing Tasks/Remminders (not sure why).
    Reminders are stored in the new group (noted above) called "iCloud" rather than in your default Tasks group. This seems to me to be a sort of "parallel" sync, rather than a true sync with Outlook. There are oter implications of your synced tasks being in the new group that I won't go into here, but you can search the interwebs to learn more.
    In my own case, I tried iCloud syncing, decided that I didn't like it for the reasons stated above, and then uninstalled (Control Panel and new Outlook groups) with no apparent ill effects.
    Though I don't guarantee you'll have the same results, it might be worth a try to see if it suits your purposes.

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
