All proxy server settings in mac lab deleted possibly after a firefox update? How can I recover settings without manually doing on all machines?
Most (if not all) of my lab machines have lost their proxy settings...weird...has never happened before. Because the settings were in firefox, I assume it is because of a recent firefox update. First...is there any way to revert back to the previous settings so I don't have to manually reconfigure all users on all machines. Second...please make sure that this doesn't happen again when updates are implemented. Third...does anybody know anything about pushing out a proxy setting through ARD?
Sound like a corrupted or deleted file prefs.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

I updated my iOS, and when I was typing out a message to someone via imessage (as it forced it on) and I deleted the last one I sent (definitely not delete all, I didn't 'fat finger' it either) but for some reason it deleted the whole entire message trail, which had a couple of years of messages in it, some of which I wanted to keep - annoyed feeling commenced!!
I've since figured out how to totally turn off imessage as I hate how it looks/ feels, and have reverted to SMS messages, but have lost all of my old messages to that one person.
I've used a 3rd party bit of software and it found all the messages for me, but I have to pay for them to restore them and I'm not paying what they're trying to charge.
Given that iTunes has already sync'd since this nightmare, is there another free way to recover them and get them back on my phone though?
Thanks in advance for any help!!I know of no way to remove encryption on iTunes backups if you've forgotton the password. If you've used the 4 digit PIN code to lock your iPhone in the past that can sometimes default as your "password" for this encryption in iTunes. Try that PIN or any PIN you've used in the past. If you don't use a lock maybe you played around with that feature once when you first got your phone....try "1,2,3,4" or anything you could have possibly tried.
As far as accessing older unencrypted backups you can try this software. I do not have any experience using it but it seems like it's what you need and is probably the easiest route for both voicemail and texts:

If you want to try to find voicemails using Terminal, I found this link as well:
http://mikereys.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/iphone-backup-restoring-visual-voice-ma il/
I know with AT&T, voicemails are only stored on their servers for 30 days so any voicemail older than that you would not have been able to access again.
Best of luck. -
When I access a windows files server with the mac I am adding .apple (hidden files). How can I prevent this?
Look for a program called BlueHarvest. I'm not sure if it still works with Mountain Lion.
I believe your file server can be set up to handle the metadata files, but I suppose that would depend on the Server software and your IT staff. -
I'm having multiple crashes on my new 5s. I can't connect to my Mac Pro!! Power cord broken. How can I fix this without connecting to my MacBook? Very frustrating and disappointing. Please help!!!
Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

I accidentally deleted the program pages and Keynote how can I recover them? in the Apple store they paid steel ...
Any apps you've had installed on your iPad can be downloaded again.
Go to App Store on your iPad and select 'Updates' and then tap on Purchased. You can then view all purchases made on the iPad or purchases made on other devices by selecting the 'Not on this iPad' tab.

Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong. -

MAC OSX 10.4.11 I succumbed to the constant messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version, despite being happy with the one I had. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted and now my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox!!!!! How can I recuperate my old settings? in English
Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' (like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.27''' , you can download it from:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
1. Download a 3.6.27 copy of the Firefox from the above link
2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27)
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so probably you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data, if you don't already ''totally'' uninstall firefox(user data and settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc. located here: ~Library/Application Support/Firefox so you must uninstall it separately, to totally uninstall firefox).

After I upgraded my macbook air to mavericks, my HP PSC 2510 photosmart all-in-one printer doesn't connect to my macbook air. When I try to launch the all-in-one installer from the HP CD that came with the printer, I get a message saying it cannot open because powerPC is not supported. The HP site has not been helpful in resolving this issue. My understanding is I first must connect the printer to the wireless system (I use airport extreme) before using airplay for printer software upgrade.
Your suggestion is helpful, but after some digging on the HP site I found a detailed solution to my problem. The link is: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01749025&tmp_task=setupCate gory&cc=us&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&product=303770

The title says it all. iTunes was working fine last night. I added some more music to my playlists and synched my iPod last night, then shut down. Today, when I start iTunes it opens up a welcome to setup screen and acts like it wants me to answer questions to configure it for the first time. When I cancel out of that, it opens up a normal iTunes screen that's completely empty of music and has none of my custom playlists (all the playlists it does show are empty) and it's asking me if I want to have it search my PC and add media files, as if it's newly installed and that's never been done.
Has anybody seen this behavior before, and is there some simple way I can fix it so it remembers all the stuff it knew last night, without having to start all over again and rebuild all my playlists and stuff?For general library squiffiness following an upgrade the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Important email was deleted when I archived it. How can I recover it?
It does not save in the trash folder in my IPhone or in my desktop Gmail? Not the archived or ALLMAIL folders. What can I do?
Surely, nothing is truly deleted and this important email can be recovered....god, i hope!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.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 -
After Finding a photo, how can I see it with nearby photos vs. all by itself?
After Finding a photo, the Organizer returns image of it all by itself. How can I see it in context, with surrounding photos?
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?

I am almost out of space on my mac and Ipad. Need to clear songs off, but afraid I won't be able to listen without going to my external hard drive. I have Itunes match but don't know how they are accessed from the cloud. Thoroughly confused and frustrated. Hope someone can help.
Another question is my Iphotos are taking up tons of space and I don't know if they are in cloud or best way to back up. Any thoughts?If you have iTunes Match, and your music is in your Match library, you can access it from iCloud on all your devices, provided they are signed into your iTunes Match account. Make sure you keep a backup of your music somewhere though as the match process isnt' perfect and you may find that some of your iTunes Match music isn't exactly the same as the original (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112).
The best way to back up your photos is to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you are out of room on your Mac, get an inexpensive external drive to save your photos on. -
i want my mac to be the controller of the emails on my iphone 4s and ipad hd---how do i do this?
That is how Time Machine works.
It is not going to keep files you delete from your computer forever.
But you haven't stated how they are stored on the TC.
If you copy files to the TC they can be stored long term.. or use another type of backup software.
See Q3 here about storing data and TM on the TC.
