Every program opens as iTunes, it has taken over and I can't access anything. Help?
All of my desktop and menu icons now show as the iTunes logo and when I click on them they open as iTunes. They still say what they're meant to be in writing underneath but they all open as iTunes. When I uninstall iTunes it goes back to normal but I really like using iTunes and I'd like to know what's going on. I don't want to have to uninstall.
First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal?

My iphone 5 has just had an update for candy crush and ever since i opened it the screen has been black and I can't get it to do anything what can I do?
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.) Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Delete the App, then reinstall it.
Test the issue after each step. Make sure to quit the app as described before each followup step. -
Stuck with black screen with Apple and download bar approx 1 quarter done. Downloading Yosemite. It has completely stopped. I can't access anything. Please help
You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer. -

itunes isnt showing my iphone and so i cant sync anything help???
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My cousin's iphone gave it to me but the bad thing is, it has a icloud and i can't access the phone. my cousin is involved to a motorcycle accident and he got a amnesia so he didn't remember anything to this phone. I entered the password so many times so that i can't activate the icloud account. Please, I need to access this phone immediately for emergency purposes. You are my only hope. The phone model is a1429 Verizon (Factory Unlocked). P.S apology for my bad English.

Hi, I hope someone can help.... When I open a new user account, which I want to set parental control on, the screen keeps freezing once the account is open. The wee rainbow circle appears and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.

HI. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks. Everytime I open it up it just hangs right there and I can't do anything with it. I've deleted the app and installed it back again but the problem sitll persists. Any help please?
Thank you so much for helping,
But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!! -
I recently changed my email address and updated my Apple ID name to the new address. It worked for iTunes and apps, but when I bring up iCloud, my old ID name shows. I can'tr access it to change it since my security questions don't work and when I request an email to change password, it says it sent one but I do not receive anything. Just need to klnow how to change my Applle ID on iCloud if I can't access the old one. I'm afraid if I delete the account and open a new one, I'll lose all of my calendar.
If you have 'Find My iPad' activated on the iPad it will cause this problem. You will have to contact Support for help. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'More Products and Services', then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

PCPowerBoost has taken over FireFox; how can I remove it?
When downloading Adobe Flash, I got a bundle of other stuff (unwanted). I was able to uninstall all but PCPowerBoost 1.0.5. That seems to have infected FireFox. When I open FireFox, the search engine that comes up is Astromendia. I deleted that from my list of programs but I believe it's embedded in PCPowerBoost. I have uninstalled and reloaded FireFox but with the same result. How can I get rid of PCPowerBoost?
Hello,
Please see one of these guides:
* http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-astromenda-virus/
* http://malwaretips.com/blogs/astromenda-removal/
If you have already uninstalled it, likely there are just some residual files leftover. You can first check your extensions to see if that didn't get removed:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
Try running the scans outlined in the guides above (download links here as well):
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner AdwCleaner] (for more info, see this [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ alternate AdwCleaner download page])
You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool] extension to reset some of your settings. Installing this will set your home page, new tab page, and search preferences to the default settings and then the extension will uninstall itself. -
