I just bought two ibooks. they power up but all the screen will display is a little folder that blinks icons but thats all i have two disks for software installation and software restore but all it does is that folder thingie. please help.

Please help. Is there any other way to reset to factory settings without the disks.

You need the original installation disks specific for each machine or compatible Mac OS X retail disks which you can buy on eBay or from several dealers.
To see which OS X you can use go to thse links and look up the specs on your iBooks.

I used the wrong ID for iCloud on my iphone 5. It is linked to an email that no longer exists. Do I have to delete my iCloud completely and set it up all over again?

Each time that I sign in to Adobe I have to search for my files and my purchased package. What am i doing wrong? Why can't I just sign in and be taken to my package and documents?

I find the Adobe site to be very unfriendly. I believe that I should be able to sign in and be taken to my purchased package (PDF Converter, Cloud, etc), without having to spend 5 minutes searching the site. I would appreciate any tips as it takes me longer to convert 1 PDF than it does to create the 5 Excel documents that I need to convert.

Hi lakepretty,
Are you logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf? That should take you directly to where you need to be. (You could also bookmark that page in your web browser, which would make it even easier to get there!).
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

I have just bought a ibook g4 how do you get the internet

how d you get the internet working from the airport , i have an airport extreme and the spec says airport how do i connect to the internet

You can connect to the Internet via the Ethernet port or wirelessly. To connect either way you need to have internet service from an Internet Service Provider, or via Wi-Fi. To connect wirelessly at home you need a wireless router like an Airport Extreme base station.
Please do post back with further questions or comments if any.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I dropped my iPad on concrete and there is a chip on the corner of the iPad but not the screen will my warranty cover it

Will my warranty cover it?
It still works though

The Apple warranty does not cover accidental damage. You could always buy a case so the damage is not obvious.

Why does my laptop give me a warning saying that firefox is using too much memory and to restart firefox to be more efficient? I just bought this laptop so I know it has the power to run what I need it to.

You appear to have AVG installed:
*See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.

My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

There is a hardware problem. Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this الس but they always appear like that ا ل س

I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this الس but they always appear like that ا ل س

MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. You have to use other apps. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
Sometimes you can make Word for Mac do connected Arabic if you are editing a document created with Windows Word.

I just bought an IBook G4.. perfect condition, but I can not get it to connect to my wireless.

I just bought an IBook G4 in perfect condition, but I cannot get it to connect to my wireless. The IBook came with all the original cables, CDs, Books and packaging.., Like I said perfect condition. It was sold as having Airport Extreme, but I don't know how to make sure it is Airport Extreme.
I know the password is correct and the wireless system works on my other computers (PCs) . It picks up my wireless network, but I get a prompt that tellls me the password is not correct. I have set it to WAP... I tried WEP but was told it should be WAP... I even took it to my son's home this weekend and got the same results from his wireless connection.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Sam,
Your iBook is younger than mine. I have an iBook G4. 800MHzPower PC G4 processor.256K level 2 cache. 256MB of DDR SDRAM; supports up to 640MB.
This unit did NOT have an AE card preinstalled. I purchased that at an Apple Store and they did the install for me. The iBook ran OS 10.3.3 out of the box. I know it was on the Internet via ABES g standard on a dial up AOL connection thanks to Tesserax on the Airport forum.
My iBook is now running 10.3.9. It was on the Internet with 10.3.4 mayb even 10.3.3. Can't remember. The only reason I went to 10.3.9 was for a printer istall.
We purchased an iBook G4 exactly like yours for a friend. There was a noticible speed bump on that one. I set it up for our friend and there was no difficulty getting on the Internet with it here at my home or his.
Have you been able to connect to the Internet at a hotspot? Just trying to cover all the bases.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements running on?
Have you gone through the typical drills of
1. Latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
2. Running program from User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as from Run As Administrator applied to the desktop icon
with right click of the icon, followed by selecting Run As Administrator?
3. Does problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
4. Even though the Premiere Elements 12 Editor will not open, can you open the Elements Organizer 12?
If Yes to all of the above, please review the following for a possible solution...
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Premiere Elements 12 Editor Will Not Open
Please review and consider the above and then we can decide what next which might include trying to open

Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.
