How can i keep my os system in english and still able to display foreign language in iTunes?
I would like to make my operation system in english, but when I do that, and when I listen to some chinese songs in iTunes it turns into weird fonts, how do i stop that?
You probably need to convert the id3 tags to Unicode. This app may help:

Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my last laptop.
As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
Many thanks!Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone? -
I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?
You can't. It doesn't work that way.
the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums -
How can I keep my history for my dialed and received calls on my iPhone 5?
The only thing is, I have read where it will only keep 100 entries at tops. I'm not sure as I have never let it get that high, however many business users have reported this.
OP, how much history are you talking about keeping? Also, there is no method to archive this in any fashion to be looked at or searched at a later date. -
All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"? My Lightroom release is 5.7.1.
Thanking you in anticipation!I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module. Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods. -
How can I keep restrictions on my ipad. I know that if you restore the ipad as new then the password and restrictions gets disabled. Is there a way to constantly keep restrictions on the ipad even with someone restores it as new or restores it in general
If it's restored to a backup, and the restrictions were in place when the backup was made, then they will be kept (they will effectively be copied back on from the backup). Restoring to factory defaults/as new will remove them and all other settings and content from the iPad, and you can't change that behaviour - one reason is that if you forget the restrictions code (and there are fairly regular postings on here from people who have) then the factory default reset then allows you to remove it.

I'm concerned that my iMac, purchased 5 years ago, is about the crash and I can't back up my files and programs to an external hard drive via Time Machine because the computer freezes after only a couple hundred MB and gets nowhere near the required amount.
How can I save these files and programs if the computer hard drive fails or has to be replaced without the backup being able to be done? I need to do something quickly, but I'm not sure what I can or should be doing.Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive. Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box. DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key. That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives. Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive. -
How can I keep some music on laptop HD and bulk on EHD?
I would like to keep some music on my laptop HD for portability but have a lot of other music that I want to keep on an external Hard Drive to to keep my internal a cleaner. How can I continue with the music I already have on my internal HD but connect and use the external too?
Open the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences, verify that it isn't set to copy music to the iTunes Music folder when imported, place the other music files on the external drive outside of iTunes, and then drag them into the open iTunes window.

Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help
To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them -
Can I keep photos on external hard drive and still use iPhoto?
I have virtually no space left on my eMac's 80GB hard drive. For a long time, I have kept my sizable iTunes library on an external hard drive connected to the eMac. It takes a bit of extra time to open up the iTunes library and to upload music from newly purchased CDs, but generally the external hard drive and eMac perform well together. My question is: Can I do the same with my photos (put them on the external hard drive) and still use iPhoto to access them and edit them? I have checked some of the Apple knowledge base documents, and there seem to be warnings against this. I am currently using iPhoto 6.0.6. I have purchased iPhoto 7.0 (with iLife '08) but haven't put the new software on the computer because there is not enough space. I would like to straighten out this space problem and get the benefits of the new software. (I have backed up quite a few of the photos onto CDs, but I like to have them handy--therefore on the eMac or on a hard drive connected to the eMac.) Thanks ahead to anyone with some good ideas on this topic.

Yes it is, but you cannot access the at the same time as iPhoto can only open one library at a time.
So, a solution might be to have the entire library on the external, and to carry the smaller subset on the laptop.
To do this, follow the instructions above to move the library, but instead of deleting the library on the laptop (in the final step), put the pics from the earlier years into the iPhoto trash and empty it. (iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash. Hint: Don't so them all at one go! Better a few a a time.)
Now you have the full library on the external (and if you want to access the full library, use that) and the 07 & 08 years on your laptop.
To switch between libraries, simply hold down the option (or alt) key when launching.
As you add photos to the Library you can use iPhoto Library Manager to move pics and albums /events between libraries, and so keep them up-to-date with each other.
Please note this is the only way to sync the libraries, there is no app that can do this automatically.

How can I keep my search bar on Google and NOT Aol?
After I downloaded the latest version of AIM, my Firefox search bar keeps changing to Aol search. I loathe it. Everyday I do the about:config and change it back to Google and everyday it changes back to Aol! What can i do since changing it to Google obviously doesn't work
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a month agoHi Roxanne,
Have you scanned your computer recently for malware?
Download this tiny program called Gooredfix from here http://jpshortstuff.247fixes.com/GooredFix.exe
Once downloaded, close all Firefox windows.
Open the GooredFix.exe file, and in the little black box that appears, press 1 and enter.
A white window will pop up. See if anything is found under the heading ==Suspect Goored Entries==. If so, open the GooredFix.exe file again and press 2 and enter.
Open up FireFox and see if your still having issues.
Also best to check your installed programs and uninstall anything you don't want in there. Also, do the Malwarebytes scan and virus scanning in Safe Mode if possible.
Let me know if that helps--if not we'll try something else. -
How can I do a assumption of liability transfer and still keep my number?
I want to do an assumption of liability transfer for the two lines on an account, but I want to port my numbers to a new carrier before the contract is transferred. How do I go about doing this? Thanks
-AaronThere are 4 lines on an account, two are month-to-month, and two are in contracts until next year. The two month to month lines would have their numbers ported to another carrier and Verizon service canceled.
We want to transfer just the two contracts to another person with an AOL and transfer our two phone numbers to that other carrier for us to keep.
Other carriers charge less than Verizon, and don't lock us into contracts, or charge high rates for data. -

How can i tidy up folders in windows explorer and have the new names etc recognized by itunes?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have spent quite a while searching how to do this...
For example: In Windows Explorer, 2 different R.E.M. cd's have come up as different artists names, R.E.M and R.E.M_
Although in iTunes they are both displayed correctly, there are many, many other examples.
One more - a Celtic Box set with 4 cd's... 1-3 are in a 'Various' folder, and cd 4 is in a 'Compilation' folder.
It's not the end of the world, but it's driving me a bit mad, as my ocd is starting to kick in!!
Does anyone have any tips please?
Thanks in advanceWelcome to AD!
Is your new laptop Vista, and the older desktop XP?
If so, they have different paths to the default library.
On XP, it's c:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
On Vista, it's C:\Users\ username \Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
