I am having problems with my display and want to run diagnostics - the apple site says to hold down D when restarting and I have tried 3 times but won't go there... Any ideas?
Thanks

After doing a reset all my bookmakes are gone. I've followed the instructions to restore them, but still nothing. Any ideas?

When I click on restore it just goes back to the Library page.

Sorry that you are displeased with the performance of Firefox.
Did you save any backups of your bookmarks in HTML form prior to resetting Firefox?<br>
Did you do a clean reinstall or use the Firefox reset feature?

Now it keeps saying that it is restored but there is still no music or video on it. And a new error is coming up that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

I have late 2009 27" iMac. Anyone managed to get anywhere with this? Apple article says to just check the format of the drive I'm using... I've done everything exactly as it should be.

I had the same problem, you have to format your usb device on the same machine. Well, it worked for me.

I'm currently running ios 5 beta on my iphone 4 and when i woke up this morning my phone had decided to automatically update the software OTA. After connecting to wifi and switching on location i proceeded to follow the instructions 'slide to setup'. I was informed that it may take 3 minutes to activate phone but was then presented with the screen 'Could not Activate iphone', this is because the activation server is unavailable. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
Many thanks

Not here. iOS5 beta is only available to registered developers, and discussing it publicly outside of the private developer forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to access the beta.

I follow the instructions for canceling my membership, but it is a dead end. Won't let me cancel.

And now this box pops up. Am I supposed repeat my question here also? Ok
I want to cancel my membership as I don't want to pay $49 a month for CC. Following the instructions still doesn't allow me to cancel.

This is an open forum, not Adobe support... You need Adobe support to cancel a subscription

I just updated to Firefox 4 and my Roboform toolbar disappeared. Following the instructions on your site and Roboform's site did not help. It doesn't appear in the Customize Toolbar window nor in the Extensions list. How can I get it back?

Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

My itune keeps saying i need the 64 bit, ive followed the instructions on redownloading itunes, but its still not working.

Hello 19Brenda94
Start with removing iTunes in the order of the first article states, which is iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later). Once that is done, then download iTunes 64 bit version from the second link below and run that installer.

I need to sync my iPod Nano 3rd Generation with my new iMac, but my old pc no longer works so I can't follow the instructions on the apple site. Is there any other way?

Following the instructions on the Apple website on how to transfer music to a new computer using your iPod, it basically says that you have to hook up your iPod to your old computer. Seeing as my old computer (a PC running Vista) died a horrible death and no longer works - including the hard drive being corrupted, I cannot do this. Is there a way to sync my iPod Nanop 3rd generation to my brand new iMac without losing all my music?
