Accidentally turned my pdf file from adobe to word and can't get it back

I changed my pdf file from Adobe to microsoft word and don't know how to get the default back to Adobe. How do recover this default?

Hi stevekirch,
Do you mean that all PDF files are trying to open in Word instead of Adobe? If so, right-click on a PDF file, move your mouse pointer to Open with, and then click Choose default program... Select Adobe Reader from the list of programs, make sure there's a check mark next to Always use the selected program to open this kind of file, and then click OK. That should switch it back so that all PDF files open with Adobe automatically.

Why has iOS 7 deleted my picture frame button from my lock screen, and can I get it back?

Can anyone tell me if I can get picture frame mode back on my ipad? Since downloading iOS 7 it's disappeared :(

You can't but you can set up a slideshow and your pictures. In that you can pick the pictures that you want, the duration each picture shows, and put it in a loop so it will repeat.

I accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back?

i accidentally erased music somehow from my itunes library, how can i get it back? I'm not sure how I did it, but I do know something has been wierd ever since. i remember using it and arranging songs, and then, bing! Songs were missing. Please help!
Not quite sure what info you need to answer this. I dont have all my music synced to icloud unfortunately...at least not that i'm aware of.

You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

I accidently deleated file from the Elements organizor and from the hard drive. Can I get it back?

I accidently deleated a file from the Elements organizor and from the hard drive. Can I get it back? How to do it?

There's a good chance that you can if you haven't done too much work after deleting it. Typically files are not actually wiped from the hard drive, rather the space they take is marked as free to use by another file if needed. So if it hasn't been used by another file it can be recovered.
Try this program... it will help if you know where the images were stored.

Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.

Install the v10.6.7 combo update.
Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

Look above at my original post:
Downgrade Mavericks to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
      loads select your language and click on the Continue
      button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
      Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
      of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then
      the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART
      info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on
      the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
      from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
      Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
      the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

Charlie,
Thank you. Much appreciated. I do have an additional question... when I tried to follow your folloiwng guidance..
"One way to go to your home folder is to select "Got to Folder..." in the Finder Go menu and enter a tilde (~), then press return."
I couldn't make it work no matter how I entered it. Maybe I don't understand what you mean by the (~). I'm a novice as you can probably already tell. - Terry

I lost my "recently added" file and can't get it back.

I lost my "recently added" folder and can't get it back.

If the "recently added" playlist is no longer visible under your lists of playlists, you can just make a new one and set it with the parameters below.
In iTunes, go to File, New Smart Playlist. In the dialog box that appears, change the settings to look like the one in the screen grab:
These are the exact settings from my default recently added smart playlist. Customize to your liking.
Hope that helps...
