Air recovery start with command-R and I get a Lock screen?
I sold my mac, after erasing some of my personal files and maybe something else I shouldn't have apparently, wont boot up. Tried booting with Command-R to recover but it gives me the lock screen with a password entry box. Am I supposed to know some other password? Help what do I do? Thanks in advance.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
What you are been asked for is a firmware password. If you haven't set up one, try resetting the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Also, reset the PRAM > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If you don't remember the firmware password, the only thing you can do is to take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get it removed because users can't remove it without knowing the password

Value starts with "!!", and I get an error
Hi
I am getting data from an oracle database, but it crash when a get values that starts with "!!". Is there a way I can get arround this? My Object is called "DESC"
ThanksHi,
If '!' present in first position of string, you need to remove it or replace it in transformation.
Following is the sample code...
loop at SOURCE_PACKAGE into ls_SOURCE_PACKAGE.
record_num = sy-tabix.
IF ( ls_SOURCE_PACKAGE-fieldname(1) = '!' ).
ls_SOURCE_PACKAGE-fieldname(1) = '' .
ENDIF.
MODIFY SOURCE_PACKAGE INDEX record_num FROM LS_SOURCE_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this helps.. -

Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.
That shows you that iPhoto is working correctly and whatever issue you are having is based in your original library.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -

I have inserted a mini cd in my cd drive but the drive did not detect it; I am unable to eject the cd. I have tried re-starting with F12 depressed and also re-starting with the mouse pad depressed.
I am in a country where I belive there is no Apple support - Azerbaijan.
Apart from a tin opener, any other methods for extracting the mini cd.
I only found out that mini cds are not suitable after inserting this one and then reading 2 help manuals!!!Take it to a place that repairs computers if you're not close to any apple authorized dealer.
You user guide clearly states that you can not use smaller CDs in your Macbook.
Lesson learned. Hopefully a repair shop can get it out for you.
Do not try to take it out yourself. You might cause more damage than good to your macbook.
Good luck. -
At the top of the page, between the address of the page I'm on and the tabs that are open is a line that starts with "Most Visited" and also includes Amazon, aBay, Yahoo, etc., all of which I want to keep. But there are also a number of other links that I don't want but can't find a way to delete. I've looked at suggestions til my eyes bugged out of my head, but nothing I've found allows me to get rid of them. Only one of them is something I saved, but it is no longer usable.
The mouse that came with my Mac does not have a right click feature. When I try to highlight and click, it just opens the link I don't want anymore. What I want to do is remove unwanted links from the top bar. For example, I no longer use GoodSearch or myEarthLink, but I can't delete them. There are also some links that never should have found their way up there, and I don't know how they ended up there, and I can't remove them either. I've read through a ton of questions and answers, and I can't find one that addresses the problem. With my Safari browser, all I have to do to remove an unwanted link is to click and drag it to the trash. It doesn't appear to work that way with Firefox, to my chagrin. I hope this better explains my question. Maybe that will give you a better insight into a solution.

In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?
I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac. -
Somehow lost the toolbar that has the page return arrows and refresh and stop icons. How can I replace those and remove a toolbar that starts with MOST VISITED and lists several SUGGESTED SITES.

Thanks in advance

[email protected]Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections. If it still won't start, remove the battery and start with just the AC power. Next try without the AC power and just the battery.

How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?
How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!
If you want to risk your money, fine.
To answer your questions
Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
Or what about replacing the motherboard?
There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone. -
How do I get rid of the iCloud Backup alert message? I cannot do anything with my iPad and cannot get rid of the alert. I have plugged in the iPad with Wifi on, but it won't reset. Thanks
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
