Hello I shut my iMac down to move it to the next room when I plug it back into the wall, hit the power button nothing happens. I tried holding the power button nothing when't back to the first room plug it in where it was 2 mins ago nothing?

Do you know which iMac model family you have? There are four families dating back to 1998. Troubleshooting depends on that. This forum covers the first three families made from 1998 to 2005. iMacs newer than that get a separate forum.
Do you have the system disks that came with the computer? If so, and depending on model, you may be able to start from the CD/DVD and then make the jump to booting normally.
All computers has a little battery on the logic board that holds date, time, and some important startup parameters when the compuer is taken off wall power for a short time. If your battery was very old and died, then the settings the computer needs to start may have been lost when you unplugged it. For some Mac modles, booting from a CD or DVD gets around this temporarily, but ultimately the battery needs to be replaced. The internal batteries are cheap but can be hard to access on some iMacs like the G4 "desklamp" model

My computer struggles to log in. I have to shut it down each time the computer has been shut and asleep for a few hours. The first day it happened my desktop photo was reset.

Hello! Just connected a used iPhone to iTunes for the first time. I'm trying to restore it to factory settings/default. The phone is connected via Wi-Fi and is updated to the most recent OS that the phone allows. The computer is also connected to the internet. But I still get the error: "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet." I also connected via iTunes and authorized the computer, but still have the same issue. Really, all I need to do is completely wipe the phone and start from scratch for safety's sake.
Help?

Did you check your security software settings?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Quicktime movie only has the first song in the play list. after export

when I export an album to quicktime the quicktime movie only has the first song in the play list. The slide show works in i photo with all songs in the playlist but the quicktime only takes the first song and repeats it over and over

I used the garage band method to string the songs together. Then used the mega song to play with my album. and it even exported to the quicktime movie. Thanks for the post.

Google tell me to insert their codes a site map in the head section before the first body section.. but where is it on my welcome page?

Google tell me to insert their codes for a site map in the <head> section before the first <body> section.. but where in exact terms is the head & body section on my 09 iwebsite?

It's been a while since I had to verify my sitemap with Google, but if I remember, there were two options for verification. The one I chose was an HTML file verification. That's a file that would be put in your Site Folder in GoDaddy. Google would then crawl your site to verify that way. I found that much easier than putting a file in the website itself.
It would be a file that looks like this: googlebe235d8cb7e91037.html
And would live in your Site Folder on Godaddy like this:

HT4753 I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

It's actually even easier than using Save As to see the full path to the currently open document. Just do a "Secondary click" on the document title in its window's title bar.
Like you, I relied upon Save As my whole life to check a file's location and considered it a must-have capability. Turns out it's even faster to use the single-click method to reveal the full path to the open document. It displays the entire path to the current document starting from the level of your Mac, and works for files stored on drives as well as iCloud.
If you're not sure how to do a secondary click, go into System Preferences, select Trackpad, Point & Click to find the current preference for secondary click on your Mac. If you happen to have a mouse with more than one button, it's probably the right button. As a trackpad user, I check the box to "Click or tap with two fingers," so a simple two finger tap on the title of an open document reveals its full path. This feature actually has been around for a very long time.
Note that this is not the same thing as the Autosave and Versions menu, which is exposed using a little drop down triangle to the right of the title. There is no visual clue for the presence of this feature - you just have to know it's there, probably because this feature goes all the way back to pre-OS X days.

When I open Firefox, it doesn't return me to where I was before.

When I open Firefox, it doesn't return me to where I was before and when it crashes, i don't get get a dialog box asking me to return to your previous page or to start a fresh one.
What can I do?

What do you have set in Options > General > When Firefox starts:? Do you have multiple sessionstore files in the profile? If so, it would be best to delete all of them and start over with collecting tabs.

if u are not going to help, get lost!!! but dont start to argue with me if want that do it with ur wife or whatever u have .
Expend a little effort yourself to find the email. I am not going to find an email address for you. Your demand for me to give you an email address was self centered and smacks of lazy on your part.
So to paraphrase you "If you can't ask properly, get lost!!!'.
Oh, and learn how to spell "You". It might just increase your chances of getting help.

I unintentionally deleted the first segment of some video. I was able to get it out of the Trash and into "Finder", but I cannot restore it to iMovie and the original video. Help! How do I move the video (now in Finder) back to iMovie?

I deleted (to Trash) a segment of "raw footage" from an iMovie project that I did not want to delete.
I was able to retreive it from the Trash and move it to Finder, but I cannot figure out how to move it back to iMovie.
How do I do this (restore the video segment to the start of the project)?
Or, do I have to load the original video again from the camera?

@ "Afterimages":
Well, yes, I suppose I could re-import the video. (LIkely ALL of it, dammit!)
So, unless I'm mistaken that would be the "long way" to resolving this issue.
I was able the take the deleted video out of the Trash and now it's in Finder. Why can't I simply re-insert it into iMovie where it orginally was? That would be the simple solution, just "click and drag", or something like that, correct? Maybe that's impossible? (In which case, I must ask, "Wouldn't the creators of iMovie have considered this "boo-boo" and done something to remedy it easily?" I doubt I'm the first vidiot to do this...
