Facebook changed my contact card, how can I restore it?

Ok this one has me considering a trip to Mountain View. I just recognized that The Contact card on my MBP has been changed, and decorated with that maddening blue filter and "f" telling me "You're ours, now."
I just recently disconnected FB from my contacts and I think I'm getting control over those, but Lord they are getting presumptuious! I smite ye out "Facebook!"
Any nuggets of wisdom onthis topic would be deeply appreciated. Thank you Apple Community.
A Grateful-
John

Facebook kept hijacking my Apple Contacts vCard and designating itself as "Me" instead of the Contacts card I've used for many years!
This is infuriating and calls into question Apple's security.
I finally figured out that the "Me" card you really want to use must have a Facebook email address entry ([email protected]) and it MUST be labeled with the default word "email". As soon as I did that, Facebook's duplicate, rogue card disappeared from my Contacts.
Why does Apple let Facebook hijack our vCards like that, Mr. Cook?

My Apple ID has been disabled due to changing the credit card, how can I enable it again?

My Apple ID has been disabled due to changing the credit card, how can I enable it again?

you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

How can I restore bookmarks to Safari?

I accidentally synced my wife's MB Air to my iCloud account and wiped out her Safari bookmarks and her contacts. How can I restore them? Her machine is backed up with Time Machine so I imagine I can use library files/plist to restore, but don't know which file to use, etc.
Thanks,

so I imagine I can use library files/plist to restore, but don't know which file to use
You're on the right track...
Using Time Machine...
The file you need is Bookmarks.plist located in ~/LIbrary/Safari

The only way that I know currently know of to remove old or incorrect email addresses from the Mail app is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, which I assume that you don't want to to. You could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe one day we'll day be able to edit them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html#ipad

As I said you need to:
You need to wipe the hard disk and reinstall the OS by booting into the recovery partition and reinstall the original OS via the internet. It will ask you to enter your ID

Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.
