How do I find all the purchased items on my iPhone? When I try to update the iPhone iOS while connected to my MacBook it says there are purchased items on the phone that have not been transferred to my iTunes library and that I should transfer them.

Here are instructions for setting file associations for Windows 8. Again, you will need to know what program you have that opens .jpg files.

How do I get music onto a phone that hasn't been backed up to new computer without losing anything??

I just found out my incredibly stubborn teenager's iphone hasn't been backed up at all since last spring. Her old 3gs was previously synced with my computer, but I thought she was syncing her 4 with her own macbook - evidently not. It hasn't even been backed up to icloud in months because she has too much data and not enough space. She refuses to remove anything from the backup cue even though nothing is backing up now. She usually just buys her music from itunes with the phone, but recently she purchased a cd since she wanted all the songs on it. She asked me to put the songs on her phone. Well I've got them in itunes, no problem, but I can't get them on her phone because it says it is synced to another computer. The only computer it could have been synced to is my old computer which is no more. How can I get these songs on her iphone? If I back up her phone in itunes and then restore from the backup I'm afraid it will lose something and she will freak out. I mean the world will end if she loses a single text message from last year. Can it be done? And if it can, I need step by step, idiot-proof instructions so I don't mess anything up. My husband says if she will get it to back up to icloud, it will automatically sync the songs from her laptop? Is that right? Or does it still need to be synced to itunes on that computer?

How can I Request a new App. that hasn't been made yet?

I'm in a car club with many car enthusiasts that use there iPads, iPhones, and iPods on their cars. This is done by using a car programmer that can link with Apple devices by Bluetooth. These programmers are designed to unlock your vehicles hidden performance potential by wirelessly re-calibrating your vehicle's computer for maximum horsepower and torque, increased throttle response, firmer shifts and even increased fuel mileage. They are the first and only made for iPod, iPhone or iPad vehicle tuner and OBDII monitoring product on the market. The programmers include a wireless interface that plugs directly into your vehicles OBDII diagnostic connector and communicates with your Apple device via a secure Bluetooth wireless connection. By optimizing your vehicle's fuel and spark curves, they will make your vehicle run more efficiently, increasing MPG, and performance you can feel in the driver seat! Features include: On screen virtual gauges with adjustable warning/alert lights., Monitor vehicle engine data/parameters via virtual gauges., User selectable gauge themes and gauge layouts., Monitor multiple engine parameters in real time., Diagnose your vehicle's DTC codes ., 0-60 MPH test., 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile test., Top speed test., Braking test.
These car enthusiasts have very rear cars, expensive cars, or both and don't want to mount or hold the Apple devices while driving at high speeds but at the same want to see the information on the Apple devices. Most of these enthusiasts and I set the devices on the dashes of our cars. This is when I noticed the reflection on the windshield. There are car brand that offer an option that has been know as H.U.D. ( Heads Up Display ).
I was wondering if there is or if it was possible to make an App. that could mirror the display on the Apple devices? So when the display reflects off the windshield it will not be backwards. This will be a much safer way for the driver to be more aware of every thing going on around him/her while driving. This will optimize the drivers alertness and minimize the times the drive would look away from the road to see his/her gauges.
Products used together:
Mac mini
iPad 3
iPhone 4s
SCT Performance iTSX Wireless Tuner

If you find a somewhat similar app, go to the developer's web page and send your request.

How can I reinstall the earlier version that should have been replaced by the new version but has been wiped off of my 10.4.11 and left me with only sufari mac

I attempted to install the new version of Firefox as it would not load my Hotmail account. I clicked 'replace' only to be told the new version could not be installed; I now have no Firefox at all to run on my (10.4.11) Mac Book Pro.
Can anyone let me know if I can reload my previous version of Firefox to use for internet purposes?
Thanks.

Current Firefox versions require an Intel processor, which you have, '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8, you have OSX 10.4.11.
*OSX 10.5 and lower version numbers are no longer supported by Apple, you no longer receive stability or security updates from Apple, and using those old versions expose you to significant security risks online.
*Additionally, more and more software will not work with the old versions of OSX.
*See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-10-4-or-powerpc
*See - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/20.0/system-requirements/
One suggestion in the first article above is to continue using Firefox 3.6.28 (no longer supported) and could expose you to known security risks online while using Firefox 3.6.28. <u>All Firefox versions that will run under OSX 10.5 and lower make you vulnerable to attack by hackers when you are online.</u>
Your best option:
#upgrade OSX to 10.6 or 10.7 or 10.8
#<s>try using TenFourFox, a third-party build of Firefox for older OSX versions ('''''may not take away the associated risk of using the older OSX versions''''')
#*See - http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
#*Plugins not supported (extensions are supported), and there are options on this page as to how to install replacements for Adobe Flash and Quicktime, if you use those Plugins - https://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported</s>

Your Firefox settings and info are kept in a folder separate from the Firefox program, called your profile folder. Try creating a test profile, to see if the problem still occurs. See [[Managing profiles]]
You're using an old version of the Flash plugin, which can cause problems. First update your installation of Flash. See [[Managing the Flash plugin]]

I am using iwork 09 on my Macbook and have a problem with all documents created in Pages, numbers and keynote. When I open and one of them every document that has ever been created, even attachements to emails that have long been deleted open up. Help!

If anyone can help with this I would be eternally grateful. I would like to be able to delete a document and not have it keep coming and asking me if I would like to save it. Even when I take the do not save option it still comes back. Is it me or the software?
Thanks
Bryan

Peggy
You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
Two more questions:
1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

HT1267 How do I find the owner of an iphone I have found But there is no contacts or Cell number of the phone that is the phones cell number and the phone has been suspended and you can't get any information on returning it .

How can I find the owner of a found phone that must have been reported stolen but all you want to do is find out who the person is that owns the phone. But you have no idea who the person is who stole the phone in the first place but now you only want to give it back to its rightful owner.

I found a iPhone 5s, and I'm willing to return to the owner ASAP, but it seems that "he" have not turned on "Find my iPhone".
Could anyone help me get in touch with the owner, that was probably here for the 2014's World Cup?
I'm a Brazilian Apple user, and got stolen 6 months ago. I'm fully aware of what it is. Please, don't flood me with the obvious. The law here DOES NOT WORK.
This owner must get it back, even if I must send it overseas.
Thank you for the support.

Can I use an Android phone without a data plan?

Please read all of this before responding. You will not be helping when you show a clear misunderstanding of my question.
I do not need a data plan. Everywhere I go has Wi-Fi, and I am perfectly content to not have internet connectivity in the event that I don't have Wi-Fi. What I want to know is if I can buy a phone from a store (not from Verizon or a contract renewal) and replace my current phone with it without needing a data plan. There is NO software/hardware reason why I couldn't, and the only reason I would need to is as a Verizon requirement.
As an additional question, if Verizon doesn't allow it, is there any workaround?
I want an android phone not to have ubiquitous connection to social media. I want an android phone to have platform to run software on in addition to making/receiving calls and text messages. I would not utilize a data plan and it would be a waste of money.
Additional info:
Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data? There's no hardware or software reason why I need a data plan, and there IS a point to having a smart phone without a data plan: Wi-Fi. I don't need to have redundant internet access. The only reason conceivable for why I'd need a data plan is because Verizon wants more money for no additional service (I wouldn't USE connectivity provided by a data plan). I don't want to have a mobile platform for running software and a phone filling my pockets, I'd like it to be in one. All the connectivity I need is for calls and text messaging.

I stand corrected!
Here's an article on the subject with a good discussion and a somewhat dodgy suggestion for non-Verizon service: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57555091-94/can-you-ditch-your-smartphone-data-plan-for-wi-fi/.
Here's a discussion on a T-Mobile forum laying out the options (as of last November): http://support.t-mobile.com/message/198200. It sounds like it would meet one of the OP's desires: "Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data?" Not on Verizon, but probably on T-Mobile.

How can I download a song that's already been purchased?

How can I re-download a song that's already been purchased, but for some reason, is not on my computer? Is there any way to do this? According to the iTunes Store, the song has been purchased, yet it can't be found under "Purchased" and the song is nowhere in my library. What's going on here?

Hi Ichinenjuu,
You are looking in the wrong "Purchased" section (a bit confusing, I know). You need to click on the iTunes Store. Once there, on the right side you will see a Quick Links section - under that you will see Purchased. Click on that Purchased. A window will display with Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc. Click on Music, then on Songs. Also, at the top of the window, you will see All and Not on this Computer/Mac, click on All.
You should then see a list of all purchased songs, and any that are not downloaded currently will have a little cloud next to them. You can click individually on a particular cloud to download that song, or you can click on Download All at the bottom to download all that are not currently on your computer.
Post back if you have questions!
Cheers,
GB
