Can a phisher gain access to my wifi and my macbook after I gave him access, but then changed my macbook's password and put up a firewall?

I got a scam call from a phisher, but I didn't know it. I gave them access to my laptop, laptop password my phone number, address, and email address. They had remote control of my computer and they had me download a program called "Clean My Mac." Supposedly, it was cleaning my Macbook, but it was probably downloading other viruses? I finally realized what was going on, and I disconnected the internet and change my laptop password and turned on my firewall. If I reconnect to the internet again, with the information that they have, can they still gain remote access to my computer? Can they get info from my wifi? I am planning on doing a system restore on my computer, but should I get a new Wifi to be safe? I'm just not sure what these guys can do and access. HELP!

I would:
- Change ALL the passwords used on the computer. Like you Apple ID PW and bank PWs if you used those on the computer
- Format your HD and reinstall the OS and restore from a backup made before the problem
- Reset yur router by pressing the reset button, usually with a paper clip and re-setup the router using a different PW. No reason for a new router.

I recently updated my e-mail address with apple, but now it does not show all the "purchased" music that I purchased under my old e-mail address. How can I re-gain access to those hundreds of purchased songs?

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

WiFi will work, cellular will work but they may not be able to access LTE, they will have to send it back to you for the warranty work.

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
Without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Any iTunes content transferred to your iPhone that was acquired elsewhere besides the iTunes Store will be lost.
This is why maintaining a backup is so important - including your iTunes library along with all your other important data stored on an external drive used for backup purposes only, or stored on some other media such as CD or DVD.
It isn't a matter of if, but when your hard drive has a partial or complete failure since none last forever - this can happen with a brand new hard drive.

How can my replacement gain access to all the files on my work computer

I am retiring from my place of employment after 14 years on the job--my choice as I've reached retirement age. I've been a Mac guy for over 5 years now and my replacment is inheriting my computer, a Mac Pro with a 2TB hard drive I added a couple of years ago when I outgrew the original 750GB drive (which is still installed). I use Mail which has probably 100,000 stored messages, and all of my documents...tons of them. My replacement needs to take over the machine and "make it hers" but she will still need to have access to all my "stuff" to continue in the position...all my mail, calendar, address book, and documents for MS Office 2011, Adobe CS programs, etc.
I went to the users part of system preferences today and added her as a new identity and as an administrator, but it gives here a "virgin" finder, without all the additions I had put in the sidebar of my finder, etc. In fact it defaulted to the original "Macintosh HD" which I had nearly filled until I added the second hard drive, the one that is 2TB in size.
Is there a way to configure the Mac Pro (it uses Lion and is too old to upgrade to Mountail Lion) so that she can gain access to all of my "stuff"?

Can my iPhone4 use be connected to WiFi and still be connected to the 3G network at the same time?

My iPhone is on the Bell network, along with 3 other iPhones in my household. We have WiFi and the phone indicate that they are connected to the WiFi when we are in the house. However, my bill from Bell indicates several instances where the phones (all 4 at different times) are connected to the 3G network for 24+ hours at a time. Additionally, it shows the phone connected twice during that time period (as though there were 2 different sessions at exactly the same time, but with differing amount of data connected)
The explaination that Bell gives me is that there are 'minimized' applications still working on 3G even though the phone says it is on WiFi, and that each of these opens its own 'connection'.
My understanding of cell technology is that the phone can only access one method of Internet connectivity at a time, and that it can be explained as a 'pipe' or 'straw' carrying connectivity and all of the data. I have never heard of a phone that can access two different types at the same time, nor one that uses separate 'sessions' at the same time of either type of connectivity.
I would assume that I turn on my phone in the morning and I am in my house, it indicates WiFi, so I can browse the web, collect my email and update my Facebook on that 'session' that lasts 4 hours until I leave the house. Now my 3G kicks in and the email that I still have open now collects through the opened 3G session, as well as the page I left open downloading something. When I get to work and enter my WiFi area there, the session would then collect my email through WiFi again, and my download as well.
If this is incorrect I need to know.
Can someone help?

Keep in mind that the reporting of data usage is not real time for any carrier. The time stamps of when data is used are essentially meaningless.
That being said, the device is always connected to the cellular data network unless the user actually turns off cell data. It is designed to use Wi-Fi when available as that is typically the faster network.
When the device is in sleep mode, it will use cellular data as the Wi-Fi antenna is turned off to save battery life. The only way the Wi-Fi stays on in sleep mode is if an app is actively using data over that connection, like Pandora or similar apps streaming audio.

Why can't I play downloaded podcasts with WiFi and Cell Data turned off?

I'm on a limited data plan and want to ensure I'm not downloading or streaming podcasts when I'm not on WiFi. It appears I have several podcasts downloaded (Blue Dot next to the title) but I'm not sure.... When I turn off WiFi and Cell Data, the podcasts grey out and are unable to play. Why would I not be able to play a downloaded podcast while I'm off the network (both WiFi and Cell data)?

Update.... Apparently the blue dot just indicates whether or not you've listened to the particular podcast or not, regardless of it's download status. After playing with the app more, it also appears that many podcasts are not downloading to the device as I thought. When I turn on Airplane mode, many podcasts are not playable (greyed out) but some that I have already listened to are playable. I'm assuming the podcasts that are playable when on airplane mode are the only ones that are actually downloaded to the device (this makes sense doesn't it?). So now my question is, "why aren't these podcasts being downloaded after I press the download button?". They seem to play OK in streaming mode, either from WiFi or Cell Network. Any insights?
Thanks.

How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event. Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want. However, here's how I do it.
Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.
