Are the recovery disks the same for these two laptops?
I've got a Toshiba Satellite L455-S5000 that's working fine which I purchased at Best Buy in Dec. 2009. I also have a Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975 that I purchased from BestBuy in Sept. 2009 that the hard drive failed on. Will the recovery software on the -S5000 work for the -S5975?
If I remember correctly the only difference that I know of is a little more RAM and hard drive space in the newer model...

No, the models much be identical. (The recovery media checks the DMI string.)

Their is two new Updates that are the same for the OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, except one has {Combo}. Which one do i download? The info on them are the same.
It appears Apple’s download servers are ‘overwhelmed’ today. I couldn’t download the newest iTunes update or IOS 7 and there are a lot of discussions today about not being able to download. One poster said they had chatted with App Store support who confirmed the problem.

My email (sign-in) and password for iTunes is different than my email (sign-in) and password for iCloud. How do I change my sign in and password so they are the same for both iTunes and iCloud without losing my iTunes content?
Hey Lakedrive442,
It sounds like you have changed your Apple ID which you use with iTunes. If so there are several places you may need to update it as outlined in this article.

Of course some might not apply, but many might.
Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

I have tried resetting the application settings for Word 1997-2003 -- browsing for my Word 2007 program, instructing Firefox to save the file, or to ask me what to do. In all cases, Firefox simply opens a new blank tab. I have also tried resetting the setting and closing then reopening Firefox.
Hello,
With firefox 4.0.1 I encountered this problem too. '.doc' files don't open the 'Ask Always' Popup asking either to open or save the fine.
This works fine for 'docx', 'ppt' or other file type.
I only encountered this problem since I upgraded to FF 4
My application setting for both Word extension type are the same.
Any solution to this?

What ARE the options for these fan-disabled iMacs?
I have started this as a new topic so as not to upset the members contributing to the below subject re. fast running fans :-
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2372777&tstart=0
The aim is to gain some practical advice for myself and others sharing the same problem.
My machine is a 4 yr old 6,1 iMac which 6 months ago started with this 'fans running too fast problem'. Initially intermittent, I am now in a position where my CPU and OD fans run at 4000-6000 rpm constantly when the machine is on. Progressing further the fans are now actually staying on for a full 5 minutes after I have properly put the machine to sleep. I have tried all the practical advice given in the above topic/thread to no avail.
Apple at the Trafford Centre were very helpful indeed and ran the diagnostics and hoovering for me last month and formally stated that it was due to CPU temp sensor failure - I was quoted £411 all in for a repair (logic board replacement required) but I came home with it to think. They tended to agree that it might be unwise to spend this when the machine is 4 yr old and may fail again for other reasons.
Working with this constant hum is driving me insane, I am just one of those who cannot stand it and soon therapy costs will kick in! Not to mention the wasted wattage. My idea is to buy a Mac Mini and tie it to an HP display for around £620 but does my iMac just go in the bin when it is fully functional otherwise?? Tried ear plugs, but my wife started slapping me to get my attention.
I could not bear it going for £70 on eBay, but I suppose I could harvest the HDD drive and RAM. Trading in seems to be a non-starter really. Joking apart, there must be people who are 'hard of hearing' who could benefit from this ever growing cohort of otherwise perfect machines?
My confidence in Apple has been reduced, especially when you others are getting the same problem out of the box! My only criticism was that the 'genius' I saw had not heard of the issue - despite the above thread. Finally there is the embarrassment when visiting friends ask what is drowning out the noise from my Thomson Freeview box and fish tank pumps!
Can't help thinking that beautiful 'exterior design' has impeded simple repair of a minor component.
Helpful, non technical suggestions gratefully received.Distasteful as it is, it is generally not practical to repair motherboard level problems in contemporary consumer class electronics like iMacs. This is not so much because other things might fail but because motherboard repairs are themselves risky even for skilled technicians with all the specialized tools required.
Motherboards in these things are complex multilayer sandwiches of printed circuit traces with plated through holes making connections among them, tiny surface-mounted components, & other features that are well suited to economical highly automated mass fabrication but make most repairs a difficult & delicate operation. This is especially true for high speed electronics: not only must great care be taken to apply exactly the right amount of heat to remove & replace defective components without damaging them, adjacent components, or the motherboard circuitry itself; but also just not duplicating the shape of the newly soldered connection closely enough to the original can cause mis-operation because the affected circuits no longer meet the minimum bandwidth specs necessary to always process high speed signals correctly. (See the section in the Wikipedia reference titled "Reworking defective SMD components" for more about this.)
Of course, the motherboards could be designed with more easily replaced sub-assemblies like daughterboards & socketed components, but this both increases costs & significantly reduces achievable performance unless even more costly techniques are used in the initial design. This in turn increases bulk, requires more complex & expensive cooling systems, demands larger power supplies, & so on.
Basically, to do this right, you end up with something a lot more like a Mac Pro than an iMac, with a price tag to match.
In terms of your options, you can try to find a tech willing to work on the motherboard, but keep in mind all of the above about this kind of repair. You might be lucky. It may even turn out that the bad sensor is not on the motherboard or in the CPU itself, making the repair relatively simple & risk free. -
I am curious if all mac Sata cards are the same for install?
I watched a couple of tutorials and saw one that was about an installation of a sata extension cable? Not sure what that would be used for given that a sata card is internal and does not need an extension? Of course, I know that it is used for something... Anyway, you have to attach it to something behind the fan. On other tutorials that involve just the sata card, there is nothing to connect behind the fan. Am I right? Are all sata cards pci cards? And finally are all sata cards installed the same way. I realize there is sata one, two, and three. Thank you.
It would be unfair to charge US$5 to install it, unless you are someone who routinely draws blood installing memory cards. As you saw in all the videos except the one with the cables, it's a cinch, and there are no internal cables on any of the others.
The solution with the internal cables (if you have the right version of Mac Pro) costs under US$20 total. There is no card involved, just the cables.
That is the entire kit, just cables and a backplate.

How do I associate typed search bar entries specifically with the current tab only?
Currently, when I type an entry into the search bar it shows up in the search box of every tab open. If I switch to a different tab, there it is. I want to switch tabs and be able to have my last search in that tab still appear, not the typed entry of a prior tab appear. Because when I switch back to a different tab I want to be able to resume with that search without retyping it each time.Use the about:home page or the Google website to do searches if you want separated search bars.<br />
The search bar on the Navigation Toolbar is part of the user interface and is the same in all tabs in a specific window.<br />
You can open separate windows if you want a different search bar on the Navigation Toolbar or use the location bar to search. -

All ringtones are the same, can't change back?? HELP!
I just noticed that all my ringtones are the same for everyone that calls in. I have downloaded a few music ringtones & also use some of the ones off iPhone itself but I never use "Marimba" & that's what all my calls are coming in as. What the heck??
restart the phone and check if your selections are selected.
If still not right, reset by pressing home button and off button at the same time for about 10 sec
Then check again.
If no help, restore! -
What are the URLs for webmail and the wiki?
I see that Lion Server supports webmail and a built-in wiki server, both available through a web browser.
What are the URLs for these; how do I get to them? I can't find that important detail anywhere in the documentation.From /etc/httpd.conf
Alias -->name --> location
Alias /webmail /usr/share/web/webmail.html

My MacBookAir is one year. I want to upgrade IMovie, IPhoto, Garageband and ITues, But What are the prices for these upgrades. How do I get around?
Actually, if you are updating the free iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie & GarageBand) that came with your new Mac, the updates are free. Only if you are upgrading to newer major paid versions would you be charged.
iTunes is always free, but is located in Apple Downloads, not the Mac App Store;
http://support.apple.com/downloads/ -
All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
What are the pros and cons of
1) choosing to use the SAME
Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
P.S.
I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

Don't know. You have not told us what system you have. -
are the 'updates' for the CC versions the same as the 'install (2014)' version? uninstall CC version, download 2014 version of these various apps? not a hi-tech deal but confusing all the same
Uninstall the CC version unless you still need it for something. You can run both versions however until you know you don't need the old one anymore. The old CC was 32-bit and will no longer be getting updates and the 2014 version is 64-bit and a lot better as it is not run on Adobe Air like the CC version. It's basically a new program.
