If you can access the Web*, try this link: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-73393-change-mac-admin-password-without-the-d isk
Caveat: not tried by me.

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?
Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

Hi. My mavericks is crashed and when i on my mac always showstha disk utility window. I do everything like repair and all but not fix this problem. I have no back up of my files. Is there any way to reinstall mavericks without erase my old data ?
To back up your data, either use Target Disk Mode and a cable from another Mac (which mounts your problem Mac as an external disk of the other Mac) and Disk Utility on that other Mac, or — and this is all assuming you either have a slow Internet connection and don't want to use Internet Recovery, or if you have an older Mac that doesn't support Internet Recovery — you can create a bootable USB key disk on another Mac and then boot your problematic Mac from that keydisk, then use Disk Utility from the installer to make a backup to another (external) (scratch) disk. You can also use that keydisk to reinstall OS X, to repair or to reinstall OS X.

OK....... I have an Ipod and an Iphone. Would like all the Movies and music i have on both. My computer broke and now the only music i have is on ipod. It wont let me transfer to itunes. It says this device is linked to a different library and if i want to sync to a new one and delete everything on it. UH....NO Is there a way to do this without deleting ? All purchases were made though the same apple id.
- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. -
I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?
I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!

I add all photos taken on camera roll to individual albums. However, once a photo is deleted from camera roll, it's also deleted from the albums where it also resides. Is there a way to delete or clear out the camera roll but keep them in albums?

I deleted a text message from a number I forgot to save. Is there a way to find this message again ?
The only way would be to restore the phone from a backup made by syncing the phone while this message was still on it. Note: this would revert all data and settings to those in the backup, not just messages.

The wifi signal from my Airport Extreme doesn't reach all areas of my house. Is there a way to extend it without sacrificing bandwidth? I have an Airport Extreme running version 7.6.1.
You will need to add another device like an AirPort Extreme to provide additional wireless coverage in the house.
The only way to preserve bandwidth on a network would be to connect the two AirPort Extremes using an Ethernet cable connection.
While you can "extend" using wireless only, typically half of the bandwidth on the network is sacrificed when you do this. -

I accidentally deleted some photos from my camera roll on my iPhone. Is there a way to recover them?
Also to add to what Ana said, if you've been importing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 to your computer as you would a digital camera. Then you can sync http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 them back to your phone using iTunes.

when uploading my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto on my mac, is there a way to keep them in the albums I already have them in on my phone?
No. All imports go into a new Event. How many new events are created is determined by what you set in iPhoto's General preference pane in regards to how Events are autosplit during import:

K my ipod when away from its home computer i,ve forgotten the password
how do i unlock my ipod when away from its home computer i,ve forgotten the password
Without you syncing computer, all you can do is to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. It will be just like it way when new. To do that you have to place the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
