HELP I am in Costa Rica and my computer won´t work!!

I have moved to COsta RIca for the year and now my computer wont seem to work. I was tying an email when a box came on the said ¨you need yo restart you computer¨From what I understand this is a kernal panic or something like that. I restarted the computer and the box came up again. I restarted it again and the screen stayed black and the computer beeped three times. For the past few days it has npw been doing this. I have tried to restart it in safe mode and that does not work. I also restarted it pressing apple s and typed in the sbin-fsck code and when I did this the computer said everything was OK. Obviously it is not! Sometimes it works and others the screen stays black and it beeps three times. DOes anyone know what this means. I think I need to reload the operating system but my disk is locked away in storage in the states! Anoter girl here has the new mac laptop. Is it possible to use her disk to load the operating system. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The site is having some problems, so try to be patient.
Here is an article that might help you:

You did not say which OS you are using. If you need to reinstall the OS, you will either need the (gray) discs that came with your computer or a retail DVD of the OS(black). A MacBook specific disc will not work in an iBook.
See if that article helps, and feel free to post back with any questions.
Good luck!

I got e-mail to download Firefox 4 and I deleted old Firefox from Applications and my computer won't work with Firefox 4 - how do I get back to my older Firefox 4 - please help

I need to get back to my older version of Firefox - my computer won't accept Firefox 4 - how can I find my older version I had that I told to replace with Firefox 4.

I also want to restore the old version. I downloaded 4.0 this morning, and am entirely unable to use it. All I can do is stare at that beachball.
The concept was nice, but the implementation leaves much to be desired.
I've attached a screenshot of "Not Responding" Firefox, eating up 93.9% of my CPU. Consistently.
How do I retrieve Firefox 3?

I just updated itunes 11.1 and my computer won't work

I updated the new ios 7 on my iphone 4s. It wouldnt recognize itunes until i updated iTunes to 11.1. Once I did that the computer froze on a blue screen and a rotating gear. Help?

iTunes ver 11 requires OSX 10.6.8 and an Intel Mac as a minimum...
Your Tag states you have OS X 10.4.4 on a PPC Mac.

I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

You need to use a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address. Since there's no Apple Print Store for Costa Rica I assume you're using the United States print store. Therefore you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the US.

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

Seems to be an Apple or FB app problem. Nothing you can do but wait for it to be fixed.

My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?
