Dial-up is dropped after about 15 successful events... but for no reason.
My G5 is consistent in alerting me that the modem "cannot be found" even though I had at least 15 successful connections previously. Then it lets me know that "system preferences" changed the setting even though I had it locked. What is going on here?
How can I make the G5 accept my dial-up permanently?
Thanks
See if the DVD will boot another Mac.
If don't have another Mac you can try one at the Apple store.
That will you if the problem is the DVD or your Mac.

I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now. -

Try a Reset of your Device...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?
If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie. I used drag and drop to copy them.
You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad. I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there. How do I go about doing the sync?
The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.

OK so I have deactivated and uninstall the version off the old laptop, then reinstalled the version on the new laptop. When you go to open a document it says it wants to do an upgrade check for some reason, anyone know why this is? It will not take the serial number after that and it doesn't show the version we have in the drop down list.
Hi johnb49273320,
What operating system are you running on the new laptop? If it's a current OS, then it may be incompatible with Acrobat 9. Please see https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-prod ucts.html.
It could also be that you're trying to install an upgrade, and the installer is looking for the serial number for the previous version (is the previous version listed in the drop-down list?).
Best,

TS1398 Our work connection to WPA-Enterprise now drops after about 5 minutes.
The wifi now has to be constantly reconnected. This only started happening after the IOS 6 update. Is nobody else experiencing this?
It turned out the problem apparently was that Apple dropped support for TKIP encryption. My problem was just with WPA\WPA2 Enterprise authentication. By replacing TKIP with AES the problem went away. I don't know if this was an undocumented change but a lot of users have been effected.

Wifi Drops after about a month
As I've searched around the forum, I've seen many discussions on wifi connectivity, but not exactly this. My Ipod Touch 3G works great, but almost to the day, every month, I lose connectivity. Signal strength shows good and dispite trying everything on the touch, to fix this, I always resort to re-booting the router. I look at it as one of my monthly chores. Anyone got an idea or fix? Router has the latest firmware and also running latest OS on the touch.
Since rebooting the router fixes it, I think you found the answer to your question - it's your router or it's your ISP. I can't think of any router settings (other than lease times) that would cause anything like this to happen. I'm blaming your ISP.

Last year I was successful exporting bookmarks from an XP machine to a Windows 7 Professional Toshiba laptop. I'm now trying to export from a different XP machine to a new Acer laptop with Windows 7 home premium.
The export says it completes, since it's networked, I saved the file to the C drive of the Acer. When I import to the Acer, it says the import is complete, but the exported bookmarks are not there.I am guessing last years computer was Win7 32 bit and this time you are importing to a Win7 64 bit. I remember some kind of issue there, but it really doesn't matter. All you have to do is grab the file and drop it into the Win7 directory. You can read about how here.

This will explain different ways to manually recover(move) any of the data you want. -
For some reason this stopped working on firefox a week or so ago. I have tried to uninstall and install firefox again but the problem still persists. I've tried both chrome and explorer and they don't seem to have this problem.
I'd hate to stop using firefox but this so annoying that in less i can fix it, i'll have to change my browser!Hi larryhall,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!
