After years of good bars, they have slowly gone (on one of my 2 computers)
I have a desktop and a laptop in the same room. Always had bars from the airport. Last few days the desktop has struggled with 1 or 2 or no bars while the laptop is 5 bars strong. Has something gone wrong in my desktop? Anything I can check or reset? Tried turning airport, modem and computer off completely.
It may sound silly, but unplug them for at least ten seconds each, and then try again.
If it has slowly been happening on the desktop, then it sounds like it is a problem specific to that computer or airport card. Is the performance of your G5 unaffected otherwise? If you are having other problems too, then there may be other issues at work.
Try repairing disk permissions on your G5 with Disk Utility if you have not done so recently.

I got the iphone 5 six months ago. The lock button broke two months ago so I went to apple and got a new one. My lock button just recently broke so can I go get another phone seeing that it is still within the first year? Or will they not give me another one seeing I already got a new one? I've had the phone for six months and the lock button has already broke twice.
There is no limit on warranty replacements.
As long as it is defective,not damaged -
My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?
I had the same thing happen to me. It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library". This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty. Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing. Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices. If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
I spent an hour with an Apple Genius. he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system. His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system. I suspect that this won't solve it.
The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue. -
PLEASE HELP
I have recently updated my macs software then been onto Photo Booth and realised that all of my pictures/videos have been deleted and are not in iPhoto? Im not sure where they have all gone?Photobooth and iPhoto are two quite different apps with no connection between them. I'd try the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

I have followed all directions from the website to unlock my ipod when it states Ipod is disabled, but they have not worked. Is there anything else I can do to unlock the Ipod?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -

Google cookie shows up in my system after using Firefox even though I have not gone to Google.
Hello Mozilla support community,
I want nothing to do with Google. My homepage and preferred search engine is DuckDuckGo. When I open a Firefox browser window I somehow end up with a google.com cookie in my system.
Picture this.. You are at your desktop. You open a Firefox web browser window by clicking on the Firefox icon. The window opens up to your homepage which happens to be DuckDuckGo. Without doing anything else you then click the 'X' in the upper right corner of the window. After closing the page you then run Cache Cleaner and it finds and removes a google.com cookie. Repeat these steps with the same result.
Can anyone tell me why I am getting a google.com cookie in my machine when I open a Firefox browser window?
I have removed the integrated search bar that is normally at the top of the page, but here is an interesting tidbit.. I suspected the search bar as the culprit and so I added the search bar back to my Firefox and when hovering my cursor over the search bar it says 'Search using Yahoo' ..so Google isn't even the active search engine in the search bar. What gives? Where is this google.com cookie coming from?Check out [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1008706 bug 1008706]. It's related to safe browsing, and is a known issue.

Installed 4, but it will not work or display opening page. Reinstalled 3-6-13,but the bookmarks toolbar has gone, replaced by sidebar, but it will not accept new bookmarks and will not sync with my other computers bookmarks. I am not an expert deeply regret installing 4, have spent six hours trying to sort it out. Even system restore will not recover the original bookmarks.
There are two folders: in the original account main /Users folder there is an icon of a house and a shared folder.
In the new admin account, there is the same thing.
I do not have a backup, but I can eaisly backup all of my important data by just dragging the user folder onto an external harddrive.
Yes, I did log out of the old account & into a new admin one.
Other facts: I cannot create folders in the original (old) account. For both accounts, I cannot access any programs, except for safari and ones that I come with the computer. For example, I cannot open Chrome or Word. Safari sometimes pops open a window that says I have the wrong keychain. This does not happen all the time, so I do not know exactly what the message said, something about keychains.
Also, when I click on the house in the User folder, I find that my old user folder is inside of it (that's where I can access all of my old documents). The old user folder has the old username that I tried changing (which started this whole mess)
Thanks for the help--any ideas of what I should do? -
I need to talk to someone about changing all of my accounts. A iCloud account was opened not by me and I lost 17 years of contacts. I have slowly gotten them back. My files from my Mac Book were taken and are gone. It has cost me about 60,000 dollars in business since November which has effected my staff as well. Many personal ireplacable memories of my childrens Photos were taken, Business, designs and accounting and personalFiles you name it gone or corrupted. My main PC including 4 external hard drives, then the Mac Book, My Iphones,itouch. Ipad were next and then my Mac Book pro. This is very humbling and heart felt. those who work with me have very strong beliefs, it was an internal doing or I should say someone gained or was allowed access to my home and equipment. I travel and tour and am gone quite a bit. This was and is the most difficult thing that has happened to me in a long time. In truth business and work will and can be rectified that not the point. It's how and what has been done which is the most damaging very personal almost vidictive but I will stop there. I feel so violated and saddened at the same time. I am hoping to contact someone through Apple or even an outside source to see if my files can be recouped and how to go about doing these changes all at once without all of the emails back and forth to approve changes in accounts what a pain. I want to change all accounts associated with apple. Apple ID and Pass words, I tunes ID and Pass word you name it.When I leave for work now days I have to take all of my equipment or lock things in the safe. I have an alarm system that is very good in additons to, animals still with the animals inside the motion detectors are off and in reality the damage has been done . I now this sounds crazy but I have proof of my back up files not all of them plus you can see in my documents all of my business accounts which are in orderof complition and dates are empty. My email accounts were also hacked and thru that individuals were able to change at will. When you have over 20 years of an association and relationships they know everything about someone. I do not want to press charges but I am to that point I need to bring in someone to investigate and I really do not know whom to even call. I have won awards for my work and my designs and information being taken has hurt more than words can express. I am currently out of town doing this late at night. I have changed my banking you name it. I need to have access to my computers to work but the stress of these constant changes and invasion of privacy are beyond expression. I plug in any of my usb drives and they are empty or my computers do not recognize them. I plug in my usb connector from my HP 8100 Printer with Blue tooth capabilities and it pops up and an external E drive for downloading just like an external drive. My printer acepts every imaginable portable disk on the market . Many of my usb drives are gone or have been corrupted. I have this darn air drop that goes on all the time. My computers I turn off and then they are on when I get up. I can go on and on. I live in the bay area and I am asking for help in trying to stop all of this. I will call Apple next but I wanted to put it out on this forum with the hopes of some response or input. I have all of my new and very minimal recovered information now on a web-based server which I know is safe the pass words and set up were done very discreetly (one can only hope). I apologize in advance for laying this out there like this. I am just so frustrated and because of the POSSIBLE implications makes it even harder In which I truly want to be proven wrong. I have never written or thought that I would be doing this as it is. If anything I hope some good comes out of this for someone. Bluetooth is a powerful tool this much I know now. Wow this is just simply amazing. There are 14 products I have purchased. I have been a windows person for years because of my work somethings are prapriatary to that OS but I love the Apple products. I am despratley trying not to nor will I throw in the towel. I know its a great product and its not the product. I just want to have the best opotunity to recover and have control over my designs and pretty much my privacy and peace of mind not too much to ask..:-) Oh! do not get me wrong I am willing to pay for services thats not the issue here. Once again thank you for at least espressing my frustrations.

I have had iphone 5 and have never been happy and i think apple is not leading the technology and future of market anymore as they are lowering quality of their products(even hardware). I had to change first iphone 5 i had because of wireless issues and then i had battery problem and had to charge 3 times a day and finally after 2 years i bought they decided that its faulty and they decide to change it. Luckily enough i read it on an online tech magazine and after googling i see that they have had replacement for power button as well which i am eligible for as well!! i go to genius bar and they replace battery but they dont replace power button cause they examine it and passes till the audio dock test! It connects to charder dock or cable but it doest to audio test dock and he says one off the pins inside is not right but it charges perfectly with every cable in the store!! And i tell him that they have to change power button not the charging pin cause it doesnt make sense!! Its a faulty product and maybe if they emailed and said it nearly a year ago my pin was right then!! so i think they found a silly reason not to change it and so i am struggling with that phone and brand that i hate(once i used to love)!

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. This is not AppleCare. You are not addressing Apple here. No one here can help you resolve your customer service issue with Apple. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to contact Apple directly. When you talk to them, I'd suggest not using profanity.

Hi all.
My headphones are new form apple as they came with the phone. They have been good for the few times i have used them but out of the blue after about a weeks use they have stopped allowing me to skip forwrd or backwards???????? I am still able to pause and use my mic for Siri so im a little bit confused as to what the problem can be.. Is there anyone out there who knows what the problem might be or how to fix it??
Thanks.Go to the settings in your Jeep, "forget" the iPhone. And on the iPhone "forget" the jeep. Then put the Jeep in Pairing Mode and tap Settings/BlueTooth on the phone and pair them anew (which sounds less confusing than "repair them").

Question about nodes, what are they, why weren't unused ones erased, why is my node map invalid?
What is this crap in Disk Utility?
What is the freaking point of a journalled filesystem if it's useless at...it's job / function for existing / fixing it's files and/or system of filing them? What a joke.
Why can't I repair or verify disk permissions?
Why does Apple know nothing about Apple products.goscuter1 wrote:
If you can't repair the disk using DU, get something stronger, such as DiskWarrior or Tech Tools Pro.
For info on disk nodes, peruse the hits from a google search for hard disk node structure.
Thanks for responding baltwo, inspite of my frustrated tone there. Unfortunately the write-protected boot volume that comes off the servers delivers stuff like this. I've been Google searching for 10 months and bleeding eyes give me two emotions:
1. Sadness, at how much I've been lied to - I wonder what they get for it
2. Frustration, at directions to achieve solutions / resolutions - that simply don't work. Command lines give more error messages, should I Google them as well? Obv i have.
And the ride begins again at 1. I'll get diskwarrior.
I went to get DiskWarrior and it's $100 for a software utility. I laughed cause, whatever. If it worked a year ago, and I bought it, I could buy 1000 Disk Warriors and still be in the black. I've only bought maybe 200 utilities. And paid for the free ones, dearly - I suspect.
I was about to buy it obviously, but my system crashed before I could burn more cash. I put it on my list of "Online Things to Do" for when I got online.
I dunno. I'm not posting here to bag Disk Warrior, at least they're honest. But I can't see how this could possibly be worth $5, or even the hassle.
DiskWarrior recovers your files including your photos, music and videos.
DiskWarrior is the safest, most technologically advanced, most powerful utility to eliminate directory damage and recover your files, folders and documents.
I want to do the opposite, to data.
DiskWarrior cures those cryptic errors reported by Disk Utility.
Messages from your Mac such as "Invalid node structure" and "Keys out of order" may seem mysterious or even scary but DiskWarrior fixes these problems and many, many more.
Interesting. And the reason I was going to buy it. But I note their claim is a little cryptic. I have unexplained keymapping that Apple decline to explain. And if I understand nodes correctly, Disk Warrior will be in use very often. I'd prefer to find a more elegant solution, to corruption.
DiskWarrior uses a different approach to disk directory repair than other programs.
DiskWarrior is not a disk repair program in the conventional sense. Instead of patching the original directory, it uses a patent-pending technology to quickly build a new replacement directory using data recovered from the original directory, thereby recovering files, folders and documents that you thought were lost and that no other program could recover.
No, I don't think I want that. My systems fill up with millions of files due to DDoS which is very much, Distributed. Around. I don't want to recover anything. I just can't afford to keep buying new systems which last a day, or less. Yes, it's quite the spot - I get that. It could very well kill me in the not-too-distant future. But then I've read the Terms & Conditions for this forum after - truthfully - I mean, honestly - breaking them, so I'm probably not being 'melodramatic'.
DiskWarrior is the only product that finds all of your data.
Its patent-pending method always results in a perfectly rebuilt directory without any errors and that contains all of your file and folder data.
This is an interesting claim because I have millions of errors, and I post less than 0.1% of them. I wonder how they define filesystem "errors".
DiskWarrior is the highest rated and wins more awards.
The reviews are in! See what the press is already saying about the new DiskWarrior 4.
I read a thread about hidden Directory nodes on this forum where the OP and the Helpful Responder had a discussion ENTIRELY exclusive to his attempt to hide the log file telling him about them. You'll be happy to know, the thread had a Disney ending. I celebrated by vomiting up.
Can you afford to waste your hard-earned money on any other utility?
You can try other utilities but you'll probably end up needing DiskWarrior to recover your data.You'll save money buying DiskWarrior first.
I have literally no doubt this is true. And I suspect I'd be in much the same spot right now, starts with SCR and ends with EWWed. Because...
While started from the DiskWarrior DVD, you cannot repair the permissions of a Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.7 startup disk.
lol. But not really. Not really, because no lame excuses given. No excuses given, at all. I think I know what that means.
DiskWarrior is not a disk repair program in the conventional sense. It does not attempt to solve all of the possible problems that can occur with a disk. It specializes in eliminating directory errors - the most common problems Mac OS users have with their disks.
It fixes any problem with master directory blocks and alternate master directory blocks (HFS), volume headers and alternate volume headers (HFS Plus), volume bitmaps, catalog trees, and extents trees.
Seriously?
Again, I have to express my 'confusion' about what possible purpose is served - as in what is the freaking POINT! - of having a journaled file system, that 'seems' to only create errors and cannot keep it's files in any kind of functional or systemized fashion, or keep its operating system operational. It kinda makes me want to scream, actually - but I understand Mac OS users clearly aren't phased. They probably think it's their problem to solve.
lol I give up. All of the above was just stuff I noticed trying to find the sentence that makes everything else redundant. On the website last week - but heck if I can find it now - was the bland statement that
Disk Warrior cannot be expected to function on an encrypted or networked filesystem.
Nine months ago, I cussed out some 'Anti'-malware scammers (ESET or TrendMicro or they're all the same) because they attempted to ridicule my surprise that they would be crooks who claim they can do a thing they cannot - possibly - hope to do; namely, be 'competitive' against malware writers who've heard of encryption.
Since that day, I've been asking every crook in this industry (obviously, I didn't know they were crooks when I was giving them money - otherwise associating with them) how they have the secret no one else has. Every utility, every claim, all a ridiculous joke when Linux commands are coded to be corrupted. Oh, I'm not talking about distribution scripting, I'm talking about the kernel. Singular.
I could go on an on about why anyone who claims you can 'build' a kernel should be strung, but for example:
The dd command. shred. rsync. cp. They drown you with irrelevant information so that you fail to notice, they're omitting the important information. Like encryption. Disk geometry. Disk 'ownership'. Hidden sectors, chaotic clustering, corruption and nonsense and...
bah. What does anyone care, so long as they can take a picture of their dumb face smiling in front of something impossibly boring and send it to a friend's iPod for joy. -
I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". Does anyone know what to do?
Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

Anyone has print out the iPhoto album book by apple after finish editing? May I check is the quality good? I have compiled my photo album book , choosen hard cover option , 100 pages , estimated cost is US150. Not sure worth to print out or not?
All I can say is the books I've created as gifts to my children for their children were received with absolute joy and appreciation (each book chronicled in pictures the first year of each grandchild's life). Granted the sentimental factor had a lot to do with the recipient's enjoyment of the book but they were spetacular. The book with its glossy dust cover is a very impressinve way to present your photos.
As Larry has pointed out so many have posted here that they were very satisfried with their book and Apple is very good about correcting problems.
To make sure there are no errors in the book before you order preview the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If the PDF file shows no errors, either in text typos (my biggest problem) or in missing photos, etc., the printed book will be error free.
