After installing Mavericks I had problems copying to the server. Was advised to remove the com.apple.finder.plist from Preferences. This worked - but now I have lost the menu bar from my second screen! How do I get that back?
I have tried re-inserting the com.apple.finder.plist into my Preferences folder and re-booting - this didn't work.
First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion. To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4. What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content. Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems. You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults. A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install. If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?
Glad to hear it all works for you.
For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
Enjoy. -
We have a newish apple mac and this morning all our files have vanished - all photo's, vidoes, music etc. How can we get it back? Thanks
First of all, look in the garbage. It's easy to move a folder there without knowing it.
Second, do a Spotlight Search (Cmd-Space), and search for a file you know should be there. If you find the file, there's a good chance that the other files you're looking for are there, too.
If you're in kind of a crisis mode, coming up with pat advice probably isn't a good policy - but I suggest investing in a backup drive in case anything goes wrong. A program like Time Machine can be a life saver.

I switched computers and have lost my previously downloaded and paid for music how do i get it back?
What do you mean it's lost? Did you actually put it on the new computer?
Simply installing iTunes and logging into your account does not cause content to magically appear. -
Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?
When an iPhone updates, it wipes the whole device clean and then reinstalls the software and then the backup. Obviously you didn't create/couldn't create a backup either via iCloud or iTunes. You can get your apps back when you go to App Store>Updates>Purchased and download the apps you want.

Click here and follow the instructions, or move them from the old computer. Any movies you've previously rented aren't transferable.

If i lock my Mac using iCloud "Find My.." with a code, but now i have forgotten the code i used but have my Mac bac. How can i Unlock it????
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

Hello, my name is Octavia Hall. I was on the computer and I was just trying to sync/backup all of my games so that way, if I accidentally delete on of my game(s), then i would go on the computer and get it back. Now, for some reason, my games are now gone, how do I get them back?
Did you set up your phone to sync Contacts with iCloud? If not sure, you can log in to https://www.icloud.com and see if your contacts are there.

Updated from Firefox 22 to Firefox 23 and now I have Bing as my browser. I want Google as my browser. How to set Google as my browser on Firefox start page.
I'm back and I resolved the problem my-self. This is what you have to do... 1) Type in search "about:config" and click "ok" when the warning comes up; 2) in search type "browsers.search.selectedEngine" 3) now right click on "browers.search.selectedEngine" and choose from menu "new" and now choose "string" and just write "Google" and click "ok". That's it and your done. Now I have my faithful Google back and so will you. I was a little frightened at first because I know if I make a mistake that I would have to possibly re-install Firefox but all worked okay and was very easy to do. Just make sure that you re-check before you click "ok".

I had a Super Smart tab on both of my laptops. When I updated to Version 31 one of my laptops lost the Super Smart tab feature. It has a "tab" feature where I can pin links but it just doesn't look as nice as the Super Smart tab does.
It in all probability had a problem with compatibility. You can re-install it using
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/super-start/
or if you use V3.6 then

hope it helps -

Lost search engine bar at top of page, how do I get it back?
Right top of page used to have a search engine bar. Now it's gone. Nothing in it's place. I have to type a search engine name on the top bar in order to get a search going. Help!
Thanks*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup -
I don;t know what happened. I was adding items to Favorites and suddenly realize my address/search bar had disappeared. I can only access previously bookmarked pages now as there is no way to type in a new URL or search???
Choose Show Toolbar or Customize Toolbar from the View menu and put it back.
