Help, my 2 year old has inverted my screen....

Ella, bless her has managed by playing with the keyboard to completely invert all my screen images, ie what was black is white, blue is yellow, purple is green etc, etc.
This seems to affect all aspects of he machine, desktop image, all icons, applications, but bizarrely when you restart it begins ok, then switchs over. Also the helpviewer now no longer works, hence my appearance here.
Any ideas?

James,
1. For the screen problem, go to System Preferences...>Universal Access>Seeing>Display: Make sure Black on White is checked and Use grayscale is not checked. Ella probably used the keyboard combination of (Apple + Option + Control + 8)
2. For the Help problem, Troubleshooting Help Viewer by Dr. Smoke may be "Helpful."

HT3702 My 10 year old has spent £721.77 on my iTunes account in the past week. HELP!!!!

I have just found out my 10 year old has spent £721.77 on my iTunes account in the last 6 days. My bank can't help me and there is no one available from Apple to help me at all. What on earth am I going to do? Am in tears here. I am a single mother and my rent is due at the end of this week!!!!

You've tried contacting iTunes Support ? Purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting them via this page and see what they say : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
If the purchases were done on an iOS device, then to try and stop it happening again you can use Settings > General > Restrictions on it to turn off in-app purchases, and to require your password to be entered for every download (the default is a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need re-entering). You can also hide the App Store ('Installing Apps' set 'off') and the iTunes store app via the Restrictions screen.

My two year old has managed to invert the colour on a MacBook, so that everything appears in negative. How can this be reversed? I have explored Preferences, but can;t seem to see anything relevant.

Yes, he does have agile fingers and they are everywhere! I managed to find a solution to the problem by going to the Language section and resetting to black on white...
All bets and thanks for the response

Help, My 5 year old had just bought Diamonds for £70 on an in house app. What do i do? I really can't afford this.

Please help. My 5 year old has just purchased £69.99 worth of diamonds for a gae on an in house app. What do I do?

You can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
To try and stop it happening again you can turn off in-app purchases via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases 'off', and you may also (depending upon the iOS version on it) have a Require Password setting on the Restrictions screen which you can set to 'Immediately'

Love Safari's new look, but on my 17-inch MacBook Pro the font on most pages is partly or all in an insipid light blue. I've tried changing all text to black on white to help my 83-year-old eyes, but no luck so far. Any tips?

This is my first time using this site, but it's helpful so far. Not sure if I need to retype the wording in the Discussion box above, but will do so just in case.

The simplest thing to try is a reset.
With Safari running, click on Safari in the menu bar and select Reset Safari ....
If that does not work, go to Safari / Preferences / Advanced.
The selections I have are shown here:

My 2 year old has deleted my 'apps store' icon and I cannot figure out how to get it back? Doesn't seem to be available in the on-line apps store, ironically enough

He dragged the icon out of the dock at the bottom and disappeared. That icon is merely a "shortcut" that opens the application when you click on it.
You still have the app. Open your applications folder and look for the App Store app icon. Click and hold down on the App Store icon and drag the icon down into the dock to replace it. That puts the shortcut back into the dock.

Just realised my 7 year old has used my apple id and spent a lot of money. am i able to get a refund?

Just realised my 7 year old has been using my apple id. God knows how he remembered it. He has spent a lot of money. Has any one experience of this? Am i able to get a refund?

Maybe. You can ask:

iTunes says all sales are final but they may make an exception

My powerbook g4 (about 6 years old) has just started freezing up--mostly when in Apple Mail, but not always. Any ideas?

My powerbook g4 (about 6 years old) has just started freezing up--mostly when I'm in Apple Mail, but not always. I have been restarting and it seems to work fine. Any ideas what it might be? I just repaired permissions.

Thanks,

Tom wants you to run Disk Utility from the install disc and then select your boot volume and then click "Repair Disk" to check and correct any directory problems. That will not erase any data files on the disc. If Disk Utility actually makes repairs, do another "Repair Disk" operation, as sometimes one repair will uncover another error. Stop when it gives the volume a clean bill of health without making any repairs. Then restart the machine and see how things work.

My 3 year old has downloaded a £70 app can I get my money back? He has somehow purchased, 'vault of gems' on Mini Pets. It seems unbelievable that an upgrade to a kids app is £70!!! I suppose this is how these robbers make money.. Any help appreciated.

My 3 year old and I downloaded, 'mini pets'. app. Whilst playing he managed to purchase a 'vault of gems' for a staggering £70!!!!
Can we get our money back? I can't believe there was no security or the iTunes password to submit and how is an app upgrade £70 these people are rob dogs.
Please help....

JohnGeorge,
Apple allows apps to list themselves as "Free" if the initial download is free, even if the app has kid-oriented inducements for costly in-app purchases. The in-app purchases are almost always ridiculous, over-priced game accessories, of which your example of "vault of gems for £70" is right up there. It is way too caveat emptor for my taste, but each consumer can form their own opinion on that.
To Apple's credit, they have a good record of granting refunds providing you explain the extenuating circumstances (purchase by a minor) and only ask once. Contact iTunes Customer Service.
And immediately, you need to place restrictions on the devices. The restrictions are off by default (caveat emptor!), so you need to take action to place them. See this document: iOS: Understanding Restrictions

Help, my 3+ year old iMac has a fried logic board

I have an iMac G5 PPC 1.8GHz 20". Within the past year or so Apple replaced the power supply as my serial# fell under the G5 Repair Extension Program. It was working fine until recently when the screen would lock up and require reboots. Now it will not even boot up. I took it back to the Apple Store and was told it had a bad logic board. The tech showed me the bulging capacitors. The estimate for the repair is a whopping 600+ bucks.
I am very reluctant to invest that much dough when I was already thinking of selling this one and buying a new Intel based iMac. Besides, I need the money for gasoline for the next week! I thought I could attempt the repair myself until I found I could not get the part any cheaper than what Apple was going to charge.
This really bugs me as I've had the computer for just over 3 years. Any ideas on what I should do? Try to sell the remaining good parts? Can it even be used as a monitor? The display is still in fine shape. Hard drive is good too (250G). Thanks in advance.

My nearly 3 year old iMac died a couple months ago and after jumping through some hoops to get the date of purchase reset to what it should've been, I took my iMac in to a local service provider to get it fixed under the repair extension program.
I was then told when they diagnosed my computer that the logic board and power supply were both dead and needed replacing. When I brought up the repair extension program I was told that it only covered the power supply and not the logic board.
Should I contact Apple Customer Relations or should I go back to the people who diagnosed my computer and plead my case with them?
P.S The serial number of my computer falls into the range posted on the Repair Extension Program for the Video and Power Issues page, so I'd imagine my computer qualifies since it isn't 3 years old yet.
Thanks

My 7 year old has forgotten her password and now her ipod touch is locked and says connect to itunes. I have tried to connect however it will not connect because it is locked. How can I reset her password?

My seven year old daughter got an ipod touch a few months ago from her father. She has now forgotten her password and it has been tried too many times and so the ipod has been disabled. It now say connect to itunes. I have tried to do this with the USB cable and itunes on my computer. Unfortunately it will not work as it will not connect saying the device is locked and to enter the password.
This is not the computer that she previously connected to and she may not be able to get access to that computer. Is there a way for us to reset the password preferably without having to restore the ipod and lose everything she has on it?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My 5 year old son has purchased coins for a game on my iphone for the value of £139.00 TWICE! I have been billed for one purchase but the other was is resent and none of the coins have been used, can i cancel the purchase give the coins back and get a refund/ thats our food shopping money for the month

And go into restrictions and turn off in-app purchases.
You might also want to download and read the manual.
You can also go into your iTunes account on your computer, click on Report a Problem for that app and see if anything can be done. Terms of the App Store is all sales are final but doesn't hurt to try.
