Boot Camp does not have the "remove" option
PLEASE DISREGARD THE QUESTION. IN CASE YOU WONDER BOOT CAMP ASSISTANT APPLICATION OFFERED ME TO REMOVE WINDOWS AFTER THE FILEVAULT DECRYPTION WAS COMPLETED AND SYSTEM REBOOT.
I was installing Windows and while at the expanding files stage I stopped the installation (don't ask me why) and then I waited for a while with the hope that I will be prompted to a "installation has been stopped" or similar screen but it did not happen. Then I had to shut down by holding down the power off button.
Now Windows appears to be installed in the opening screen as well as the Startup Disk application. However when I open the Boot Camp Assistant application, removing Windows option is not available. Instead, installing option is available.
Knowing that one should remove the bootcamp partition via the Boot Camp Assistant application rather than Disk Utility, I am now totally unsure about how I must proceed. (I know internet recovery of the OS is an option, but frankly that's my last resort).
Boot from your Windows installer disc. Reinstall Windows. After it finishes you can decide whether you wish to keep it.

My Envy 7645 does not have the grayscale option in advanced set up to print in black and white
Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Envy 7645 does not have the grayscale option in advanced set up to print in black and white, on Windows 7. I am happy to help! It is possible, that you may only have the basic driver installed, instead of the full feature software and drivers. I would recommend to try our HP Print and Scan Doctor first, to see if ti can resolve the issue automatically. Otherwise, please try the following steps: Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 7).Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.

attemped instructions in Mountain Lion to change my e mail address to the recommended i cloud.com address.
The drop down in the SEND NEW MESSAGES FROM does not have the i cloud e mail option.
How do I change it??Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again. -
HT2534 It does not have the *None* option.... Please help.
I have tried doing it straight from the phone And itunes.. But when i try to get something it will say "This Apple ID has not been used with iTunes Store. Please review your account iformation." i do it.. i go thorugh the steps, then i get to Billing information, I do NOT have a credit card and have no intention On buying anything, i've spent hours trying to find a loop hole but no luke....When i get to the payment information page there is not Payment option That states *None* So can you tell me what to do? Please Help.
Hi, I had this problem as well. Everyone kept telling me just to select the "None" option next to the credit card choices -- but I didn't HAVE a "None" option and was getting very frustrated!
It turns out that in this case, you do have to add a credit card to finish creating your Apple ID. Then as soon as it's created, you can go to "Account" at the bottom and immediately remove your credit card information. This worked for me -- my credit card was only in the system for about 15 seconds before I was able to remove it with no problem.
Hopefully this works for you as well!! -
Boot camp does not format the partition for Windows 7
I recently purchased a copy of windows 7. This is the full version. I downloaded the drivers to a usb drive then placed the windows 7 disk in my apple optical drive to partition to disk. After portioning the iMac restarts and gives the a blank screen with _ blinking. It seems as though the windows partition has not been formatted. I cannot enter a dos command such as format or anything else. If I start up the mac again with the windows 7 disk in the optical drive I will be prompted to insert a bootable disk. I understand that after the partitioning takes place that bootcamp should start the installation process. By the way after working on this for quite a long time I decided it might be the copy of windows so I returned it and got another. Same resuts. I hope someone can help.
ThanksRead the instructions and it is pretty clear that you format to NTFS where you see the BOOTCAMP partition.

Your instructions for importing bookmarks/favorites are to click the top left Firefox button and select "import" to start the process. I don't have that option, there is not "import" in the drop down menu. How can I import bookmarks into Firefox?
You will still find it in the File menu in the Firefox 5 version that you are using.<br />
If Firefox 7 is has been moved to the Bookmarks Manager.
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
If you managed the bookmarks via the Google toolbar on the Google server then see:

I've downloaded Windows 7 onto my USB drive and Boot Camp does not recognize the disk.
Following the Apple Support manual, I've initiated the creation of a partition and downloaded Windows 7 from Microsoft's online store to a USB disk. When I attempt to initiate the creation of my partition to install Windows 7, I receive a notification that my installer disc could not be found.
Thanks in advance!Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

i just bought an iPad from a friend. I think is generation 1 or 2 not sure where to look for this. Bottom line, I would like to update it to iOS7. Is this possible? It does not have the option for software update.
Identify Your iPad
http://www.ifixit.com/Info/ID-your-iPad
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
Cheers, Tom -
Hi guys,
I cannot get my Apple TV to connect to the only available wifi connection in my building.
Basically when I log on to it with other devices you have to type in a password (like all wifi connections) but then it opens a browser window with a user agreement that you have to accept each time you log on. Since Apple TV does not have a browser option I can't log it on.
Is there anyway around this issue???
Or is there anyway to get content from my iPad to display on my Apple TV without an Internet connection on the Apple TV???

I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.
One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.
