For some reason, my mac says i only have 7 gb memory left, when just recently i had 120gb.. what do i do?
How do I fix it.. my mac says i only have 7gb memory left, when i just had 120gb recently and i did not download anything that big
Are you confusing two different things?
Memory and storage or disk space?
The space on your hard disk is called storage or disk space and is used to store data on your disk (files, photos, videos, software, etc.)
The memory in your computer is called RAM (Random Access Memory) and is used by your system and applications.
Average hard disk in a computer is 500gb to 1tb
Average memory on a computer is from 2gb to 8gb
It is impossible that you ever had 120gb of memory in your Mac.
If it is disk space you are talking about, then it could be many things that are taking space on your hard disk;
Did you download many movies, games or other large files from the internet?
Did you transfer a large amount of high resolution photos?

I need to download my Verizon bill. For some reason my account says I'm a "Member" and not the "Manager" or "Owner" so I can't download the bill. I AM THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS ACCOUNT. I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EVER BEEN ON THIS ACCOUNT. ONLY ME. JUST ME.
Prepaid accounts don't have Account Owners/Managers, they just have Account Members (and prepaid accounts have less options regarding changes via their My Verizon account as a result).

for some reason my i pod doesn't have an app store. I went to reset it and it asked for my restriction code. I forgot what my restriction code was and now it's saying that I only have one more chance to try?
To restore see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
Restoring will not mess up your other iDevices -
for some reason osx mountain lion has disappeared from my purchases and now when i want to install mountain lion on another mac with the same apple id it wants to charge me for the program even though i have already purchased it. what do i do?
Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

new iphone 5 and 4 year old macbook, and for some reason my computer says a later version of iTunes is required. So, i went to ITunes and found i have the latest version availble at this time. iTunes say phone can not be synced because it requires a version of 10.7 or greater?
iPhone 5 requires OS X 10.6.8 & iTunes 10.7 or greater. I suspect you're running Leopard, 10.5.8, correct? If so, you will first have to update your OS, then iTunes in order to sync your phone.

I have 9.81 GB of memory free on my iphone, which is more than enough to hold my entire music library, but for some reason my mac keeps telling me that I need 6.5 GB more of memory space to hold everything in my library. What can I do to solve this?
Are there any other things selected to be synced to your phone? Photos perhaps?

I got a new iPhone 5 when I went to add my music back from the cloud Not on this iPhone Rihanna for some reason will not re load to my new phone the Little wheel just keeps moving nothing ever happens. I turned it off and still nothing
whats up with that I have one beatles song and one kenny chesney alsoMate, I'm trying to find out if it was shipped like that or not. If someone else has had the same issue then I can go back to Apple and have them look into it further. If not then as I said Vodafone is selling second hand phones and they will have to replace the phone.
Vodafone account manager is saying that he has never heard of anything like it.
So I'm left with one of 3 answers.
1: The phone was shipped like that so its a factory error.
2: The Apple genius doesn’t know what he's talking about then I can go back to the store and ask for a second opinion.
3: Vodafone is selling second hand phones as new.
I need to narrow it down so I can deal with the account manager appropriately -
i just bought my first iphone 4 actually i bought two and for some reason on both phones one of the speakers does not work im just wondering if this is normal because i took it back to the store and they told me all of the phones are the same?????
There is only one speaker, what looks like another speaker is actually a microphone. All iPhones only have one speaker down by the dock connector.

For some reason all my playlists and most of my songs are no longer on my i-tunes. What happened and how do I get it back?
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

For some reason all my ringtones that I have purchase have disappered on my iphone and itunes on my computer. How do I get them back? They are not on my purchase list.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer. -

I have so many photos on my Mac I only have 1G of memory left. How can I move the photos to the external hard drive that is plugged into my iMac.
1GB? It's a miracle your Mac is running at all!
This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space. -
I had 10gb free space on my IPhone 5s
I have updated ITunes to the new version this evening
Now when syncing my phone it says I am 26gb over capacity and also OTHER has increased to over 40gb"
Any ideas anyoneI found the culprit in my case: after update to itunes 12 iPhone is X GB over the limit.
Check your sync settings for each type of content in the left sidebar. In my case I had sync turned off for everything but ringtones. After iTunes update for some reason the entire music library is set to sync with the phone. Turning it off reconciled the storage issue. Perhaps in your case it is some other new content marked for syncing. -
Hallo,
For some reason firefox has stopped loading the youtube site for me. I can watch videos other people uploaded to facebook for example, but cant get into the site. the explorer will load the site, so I've tried changing the proxy settings in my firefox as recommended in the help center, but to no avail. Also there was no update installed that I'm aware of, getting to youtube through any link will simply give me an error message saying the connection was reset while the page was loading.
pleas help me.I had trouble with youtube and cleared all history and cache. This cleared up the problem(s).
