Computer STOLEN now all messed up

The guy who stole my computer converted every single graphic into a program I never use. I have an internet business. I couldn't get to text edit or preview-which I need badly. Now all my graphics-since I trashed the graphics program (Lemke) are in Quicktime-or at least those he didn't trash! I want to restore preview and text edit so I can send out the jpegs I already have to customers and create others.. I can't do it. Can someone help? I assume that Preview has somehow been moved to Quicktime. I also see that there is a security file now-he has had some problems with pedophilia-how do I gain access to that file? He also signed up for what I assume is a trial Mac. account under the name Steve macklin. How do I delete that? I do have the original discs but they are in another city. Perhaps there is some way to do this without backing up everything and loading the OS disc

Art,
It sounds like you know something about this thief. If you found child *********** on your system call the Feds and turn the slime in. Do not erase it as they may need your computer as evidence. Even if this is inconvenient for you and your business it pales in comparison to the damage child *********** does to individual children and society in general.
It's usually not easy or convenient to be a hero. That's what makes it heroic.

The bleeped word used was not slang or crass and is defined by Apple's dictionary as:
printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings.
Which I assume will also be bleeped.

  • I recently received an I Pod touch 4th generation. I synced it to my computer and now all my pictures that I have ever taken are now on my Ipod. How do I delete pictures that are not taken by the Ipod but were synced onto the ipod?

    Hi megan21,
    Connect your iPod to iTunes, click on your device, and then click on the "Photos" page. If you don't want any photos on your iPod, make sure the "Sync photos from [photo application]" checkbox is unchecked. Or, you could select specific photos in that page to sync to your iPod.
    Hope this helps,

    I was trying to rename my home folder I then restart my computer and now all my stuff are gone. Can anyone help?

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/ as the path, and move the files to your current home folder. Alternatively, open the Accounts or Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock it, control-click your account, choose Advanced Options, and change the path to the home folder.

  • Computer stolen and all downloaded music lost

    Hi, I am trying to find a way to regrant a download of music I have purchased through itunes over the last three or four years. We had our computer stolen and all the downloads. While we have the music on our ipod and old iphone (bought a new one this week) I cannot download music from them to our new computer or new phone. I would really like to have the music I purchased back in our itunes. I have called apple and they said to go to the chat support. So here I am....I think I am in the right place.
    thanks so much

    Have you looked at these instructions? iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Failing this, if you click on this link it'll take you to the support/contact page, from there click on Music Purchases then the Lost or Missing Items option. From there click on "Email Us" and explain your problem: Customer Service - iTunes Store Support

  • I got a new computer and now all my music is gone. how do i transfer my music from my iPod touch to my new computer. right now when i plug it in, it says if i sync, i will lose everything on my itouch... PLEASE help!

    So I had an ipod touch, got a lot of my music from my old CD's that i later threw away, then got a new computer and lost all my music on my itunes, but still have it all on my itouch. I just simply want to get my music from my itouch to my computer. I now have a iphone and it would be nice to put some of that music on my phone as well.
    Hope someone can help me!!!
    thanks,
    Sophia

    While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

  • Safari has stopped working properly since upgrading to Mountain Lion.  Have parental controls in place and it will not add websites.  Also short cuts at top of tabs now all messed up!

    Since upgrading to mountain lion the other day (from lion) safari has not been working properly.  I have parental controls in place but seem unable to add new web pages to allowed list - wasn't expecting to have to anyway - these are webpages that were working perfectly well on safari prior to upgrade.  Also the shortcuts above the tabs on safari are all now messed up.
    Any advice on how to fix - I am not a computer expert so keep it simple please!
    In the meantime I am having to use Firefox.
    Thanks

  • Computer Stolen - Now what?

    My iMac was stolen only a couple of months after I bought it. I had created my website though iWeb and hosted it with GoDaddy. Now I have replaced my iMac, but I don't know how to import (?) my existing website into iWeb so that I can continue updating it.
    Does anyone have the answer? I have already downloaded all the web files from GoDaddy's Remote System, so I do have them locally. Now what?
    Thanks!

    Your Mac stores most things that would be important to you in a personal way, in your Home Folder. Things like your iPhoto Library, your iTunes Library, Downloads, and last but certainly not least, your iWeb Domain.sites file (which contains everything you create in the iWeb application--including multiple sites). All of your iLife apps will, by default, store their files and everything you create in these programs in your Home folder.
    Make it a habit to back up this Home folder on a regular basis to an external drive. If you can, invest in an external drive and then make use of Leopard's new Time Machine application.
    Your Home Folder will also become bloated over time. Having clones of it on an external drive will enable you to trim some fat and create more space on your hard disk when you need it.
    The good part is you only have to learn this lesson once, usually.

  • I restored my iPhone 4s and backed it up from my computer but now all it says "Connect to iTunes" and won't let me into my phone.

    I just restored my iPhone 4s and backed up my information from my computer. It is making me set it up from the beginning every time and I can't get into my phone even though all my information is on the phone. What am I doing wrong?

  • I updated my iphone on my daughter's computer. Now all the txts I have ever sent and received (which I deleated in the past) have come up on my phone.  Will all that information also come up on her iTunes account? Desperate!

    I recently udated my iphone using my daughter's iTunes.  When I turned my phone on, I see that I have all the txts I have ever sent or received back on - ones that I have deleated... Will my daughter have this information on her iTunes as well?
    Desperate!

    You don't have much at all to worry about. Your texts were restored from a backup and that backup can be deleted (thereby removing all of the texts).
    This link has the locations of backups on all the major operating systems. Once you locate the backups, delete, empty the recycling bin, and you'll be fine.
    If you wish to not delete this backup for any reason, your daughter will only see the text messages if she manually restores her iPhone (assuming she has one) from your backup.

  • Is there a way to delete songs off my ipod touch without plugging it into a computer? I just sold my laptop so now all I have is an ipod touch and an ipad.

    I am getting really sick of some of my songs and I want to delete them but I have no idea how. I use to just do it from my computer but now all I have is an ipad. What should I do?!

    If you have iOS 5 then swipe the song left or right and tap the delete button that appears. If not iOS 5 then you have to connect to computer and unsync.
