10.9.1 used terminal with rm-rf and deleted my user data. Can I get back the deleted data? Help. I really just need mail file and desktop files recovered.
If data were on the SSD drive with TRIM - practically no chance. If HDD - use DIY recovery software such as DiskDrill or DataResue.
As quickly as possible turn off the drive where deleted data.
Use an external HDD with installed OSX for data recovery.

I got a new 25" LG ultra wide monitor and would love to use it with my macbook pro Late 2011. I can't get the resolution to the recommended 2560x1080. Can anyone help?
I found a similar question on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/2560x1080-resolution-macbook-resolution-option-/forum/Fx15 6DUSW1J104N/Tx14L2NHT4Y3F8K/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00JM99DIU
It looks like you may need a mini-displayport to Displayport cable. You can also try holding the option key while clicking on "scaled" to see if the option you need comes up.

You can't. iSync has been discontinued since Mac OS 10.7 Lion. iSync has no connection with iCloud anyway.

My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?
Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

I REALLY need this since I have written my own custom web directory which I use all day long. It seems that the new New Tab behavior should be OPTIONAL. I had to revert to version 12 because it adds a couple of clicks every time I request a new tab many, many times a day in my work. I was using the New Tab URL add-n and it does not override the new functionality.
If you want to open a new tab in a certain url (like www.google.com or another site) go to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] find/type '''browser.newtab.url''' , double click on it (or right click on it and select modify) and type the url you want. Every time you open a new tab you open it in that url/site.
thank you

When i try to play a music or video or anything the volume bars come up full but with a stop sign underneath, i don't know how to get back my sound.
The way that usually works best is to move the entire iTunes folder folder from the current location to X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of the external drive.
If you moved the iTunes Media folder "by hand" instead of using iTunes to relocate the media folder then:
Move the main iTunes folder to X:\iTunes
Move iTunes Media inside it as X:\iTunes\iTunes Media
Press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes
Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library.
(If iTunes opens normally/with an empty library close it and go back to step 3)
Click choose and open X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
If you still have a problem try my script FindTracks.

My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes - when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first - which it did. Now all her photos are gone. When we tried to restore the last back up - the only one was from when she used my itunes 6 months ago which was from her old iphone. So now it has put all her photos from her old phone onto her new iphone and deleted all the new ones. We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!

This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.

That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.

It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera. -
I got a new computer yesterday and am now using Windows 7 (ugh). I want Mozilla Firefox as my browser. I downloaded it and it's showing up on my All Programs but I can't seem to get to the homepage.
The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
If it is, here's further troubleshooting:

Oct 25, 26 or 27 both Adobe Acrobat and Mozilla Firefox alerted me they had updates to install. Since I trust them both I installed them. However, since then my optical marble mouse from Logitech acted strangely different. The cursor did not move as usual. It didn't respond right. I thought it might have needed the dust wiped out, so I did that. It still acted sluggish when I tried to move it, it was as though it was "spinning its wheels" not going anywhere. I went to the Control Panel clicked on Mouse, and proceeded to look at the settings and set them to default. I then tried to use the universal scroll by clicking the two big buttons which showed a circle with cross hair arrows as usual. When the marble was moved forward or backward, the scroll had always been smooth allowing one to read the screen evenly and without holding any button down. Now it was jerky. Is this a problem from the last update? My version of Firefox is 3.6.12
Thank youI am happy to see another person is having this jerky scroll situation with the latest update to Firefox on October 27. I did check my I.E browser and '''THAT BROWSER''' still does the nice smooth scroll....let's get 'er fixed Mozilla! I know you can!

Actually, I'm using WaterFox 28.0, but that wasn't an option.
I try to access my comments to Yahoo news stories. I may be in the middle of posting a comment, or just running through them to see how people have responded. WaterFox suddenly interrupts me with a survey about FireFox. It interrupts what I'm doing, and afterward the only way back to the place where I was is to start at the top of the comments again and search for it. If I was posting, either my post is lost entirely, or it posted in incomplete form.
I've tried answering the survey in the hopes that it will go away, but it keeps showing up. It's exceedingly annoying, and, much as I love WaterFox I'm considering going with Chrome or Torch instead.
I have WaterFox set to block pop-ups, but apparently WaterFox doesn't think that applies to itself.
Does ANYONE know how to make this go away?
MargretMinetteYou have a bad extension loaded into Firefox.
*MediaPlayerplus
Remove this by going to [[Image:new fx menu]] > Add-ons > Extensions
Uninstall anything you don't recognize from your control panel. (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
You will also want to run ADW Cleaner to remove any remnants of the extension

How Can I Get Back the Options to Paste with Formatting?
I am using Dreamweaver CS5 on a Windows 7, 64-bit machine. It's been up and stable for months and months.
I don't recall installing anything before this happened or doing anything strange, but...
... recently Paste Special or Paste has stopped allowing me to past with either "Text with structure plus basic formatting (bold, italic)" or "Text with structure plus full formatting (bold, italic, sytles)
Those last two radio buttons on the Paste Special panel are grayed out.
This afternoon I re-installed DW CS5 from the installation discs and ran the updater (I did NOT first delete DW.) Reinstalling did NOT repair the problem.Here is what is going on..
the above image is the default dreamweaver c&p
the above image is the area trying to paste.. which includes an entire row of html within a table and includes an image. so i try to copy and paste.. the following is the end result.
and finally here is the paste special options i am given. -

It appears that Maverick has banishd the ability to highlight, in color, file folder names, replacing the color highlight band with a hard-to-see color dot. Is there a way to get the color-band highlight ability to operate?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apple has replaced that feature in OS X Mavericks by color tags, so you cannot get it back. The only thing you can do is to send feedback to Apple about it, so they will think about including it in future OS X versions > http://www.apple.com/feedback -
