gday i erased my imac from my ipad using the find iphone app,how do i restore it so it can b used again
What OS did the Mac come pre-installed with, or have you upgraded it to Lion or Mountain Lion? You should be able to re-install using Internet Recovery, if you were on either of those OS's.
Restart holding down Command + Alt (Option) + r
You'll probably prompted for your Apple ID and you'll need to have the Mac connected to the internet - ideally via ethernet cable, although wifi should be OK if you have a reliable connection.
More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If you're on an earlier OS you'll need to use the grey restore disk that came with the Mac. Post back if you need more info.
P.S. Pleased to hear you got your Mac back.

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?
No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.
The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

If I have both my iPhone and my iPad set up on the "Find iPhone" app, and I disable location services on my iPhone, will I still be able to track my iPad from my iPhone by using this app?
iWork is universal, so it will work full-res on the iPad. This is true for any app which has the plus sign symbol (in the App Store in iTunes it will say "This app is designed for iPhone and iPad".

My MBA was stolen. I need to buy a replacement the next day bec I used it for work. I downloaded the Find iPhone apps and registered my stolen MBA. If I will erase MAC will it also erase the data of my new MBA?
did you turn 'find my mac' ON your MBA BEFORE your it was stolen? if not, you will not be able to do anything to the stolen MBA
if you did turn it on before it was stolen, yes it will erase everything on the MBA -

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match
That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
You need to have Home Sharing On.
Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
Choose your iTunes' library and have fun. -

Dear Apple employees ,
I have a new.new iPad Air. The person who transferred information from oldest iPad to this one, used his Apple address. How do I erase it. ThanksPlease be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to your issue, what do you mean by "used his Apple address"? Are you referring to apps linked to his account? If so, then you can't change that. Apps are permanently tied to the account through which they were purchased. If you want those apps tied to your own Apple ID, you'll need delete them from the iPad and get them again through your own iTunes Store account.
If, however, you just mean that his Apple ID is coming up in the iTunes Store, App Store, etc. you can change this in the Settings -> iTunes & App Store area. You can similarly change accounts for email, calendars, etc. in the relevent settings.
If that doesn't address your question, please post back and clarify the situation you are attempting to remedy.
Regards. -
Yes, just got an i-pad 2. Love it! Question, when I go to send an email, under the subject line it already has the phrase "Sent from my ipad". How do I permanently remove this phrase. (Yes I can do it manually each time but I prefer not to). Thanks

Can you download data to a usb stick using the cammera connector?
The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files form a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.

HT201272 Can two synchronised ipads use the same purchased apps
I have two i-pads with shared free apps, but when I purchased one from the i-tunes store recently it would not show up on both. How do I share this language course with both i-pads?
If you are using the same iTunes account on both iPads then you should be able to re-download the app on the second iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app. If you always want any new app purchases to download on both then you should be able to turn on automatic downloads via Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if they are on iOS 6).
