A spill and 2 keys are now not fun
It looks like a spill has caused two keys on my macbook pro to stop working. They are the eject and delete key. What I need help with is removal of the keyboard and cleaning. I know the keys can be popped off and I dont mind getting my hands dirty and taking apart the whole keyboard.
Thanks

Here is how to replace a key on your keyboard. Although this illustration is for a PowerBook, the procedure is the same.

Windows 7 service pack 2 and Firfox are now not compatable? Is there a fix?
Windows 7 updated today. Firefox no longer works. States not compatible. Uninstalled and reloaded. Still no go. Is there a fix for this?
The answer can be found here from a Microsoft thread (credit to Millie, not myself):
After uninstalling KB2670838 IE9 and Firefox worked again, I then installed IE10 and found that the IE10 installer re-installed KB2670838 and Firefox would crash again but IE10 did not crash.
After some searching, I found the Troubleshooting page at mozilla.org
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems
Start Firefox in Safe Mode (hold the shift key when starting Firefox) then turn off hardware acceleration:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Tools menu and then select Options On the menu bar, click on the Firefox menu and select Preferences...At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Edit menu and select Preferences
Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.
Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Exit At the top of the Firefox window, click on the File menu and then select Exit On the menu bar, click on the Firefox menu and select Quit Firefox At the top of the Firefox window, click on the File menu and select Quit
Start Firefox the way you normally do.
Firefox does not crash on startup now.

Ive restored my Ipod nano and the songs that I've already purchased are now not syncing to my device. How do I get those songs back on the nano?
Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or sync them to your iPod via iTunes

Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed it up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts under icloud and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do I get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, because the contacts went to another iphone i have.
I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

I was on twitter from my iphone and stupidly clicked a link. A page came up saying my phone was now hacked and SMS,e-mails and such are now being watched. I immidently exited out of the page. cleared history, cookies, turned my phone off then back on. Am I at risk? Should I restore my phone?
This phone was purchased through apple, so it's not jail broken. Am I just paranoid? I hope I am.I just clicked a link... I did nothing else to this phone.

ive recently updated my IOS, which deleted my music and apps, and it is now not allowing me to press sync, any help?
The next iOS update won't change this.
Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?
What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. -
My husband just got an iPhone also, can we have separate iCloud accts? All my contacts and appointments are now on his phone too.
I had the same problem too.
Yes, you can go apply for a new AppleID, which would be <your account>@icloud.com.
Then put this new AppleID into the icloud account field.
After this action, you will not be seeing the same contacts and appointments.
But for the itunes store, you still can use the same AppleID so that you can share purchases.
My wife and I use separate icloud accounts, and then we use a 3rd appleid for our itunes store. This allowed us to have separate contacts but still share itune purchases. -
Just upgraded to firefox 4 and websites are now taking ages to load, there were no problems when I downloaded the upgrade. Is there a fault with the new version of firefox?
Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I have restored my phone to the wrong iTunes account. Can I get all the pictures back that I are now not on my phone
Restore to your last backup. It will contain your camera roll photos and videos.

keynote and pages are now free, but why do i need to pay for them still when there now free?!?
Users can obtain the iWorks and iLife applications free, if they purchased a Mac after the beginning of October 2013.
Older Mac purchases require a paid purchase of these applications. -
1) I have multiple accounts at the iTunes store and none are now associated with my purchases...I think because passwords have been associated with various id’s and I can’t log in and access those purchases. I want to get back to being able to use one id and password and be able to access those purchases.
2) When I upgraded my iPhone 3gs, to the latest version 5.0.1 (9A405), is when I noticed that i couldn’t update my applications. There are two names/accounts on the phone and prior to the update there was just the one. I have tried entering every conceivable password that I have ever used and get the incorrect password error every time. The apps on the iPhone are apparently associated with several/different accounts. I just want to get everything back to the way it was. One id and one password with purchases associated with just one account that can be updated on my computer as well as my iPhone.Hello sadiepix,
The following article details several things that can be done to quell iTunes' constant need for authorization.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

I was trying to Import photos to my computer and was asked to upgrade my Iphone before importing. In restoring my Iphone, it deleted all of my 200 new photos and they are now gone. Is there any way to retrieve them?
You should ALWAYS import all pics ( and anything selse for that matter) before any update.
If you failed to do this, then the pics are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup. -
Has anyone ever had the icons on the menu magnify? My phone slipped onto the floor in my car and icons are now hugh. Don't know how to fix it.
