How do I get to settings on my mac laptop?

What settings do you want to see / change?
As BGreg has posted, System Preferences is the first step to "settings". For example if you want to change the settings for your Desktop and Screen Saver, you start with System Preferences.
So please give us more information.

My settings vanished and are replaced by another user's settings from another windows login. how do I get my settings back? Thunderbird also affected!

My daughter and I have separate windows logins on the same computer. We both use Firefox. Today, when my daughter logged off and I logged on, all of my settings (persona, bookmarks, history, etc) were gone and replaced with hers. My settings are correct in Internet Explorer but Firefox and Thunderbird are using her settings all of the sudden. How do I get my settings back? I have lost all of my emails and everything.

You have something else on that PC that keeps installing that Yahoo crap, it sure as hell isn't Mozilla. Google is and always has been Mozilla's partner for search engines.

I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

Hello. First time using this. Still trying to figure out how to post my questions. I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

If you are using cable and a Nethear router sounds like from the information you provide before your Airport setting are setup improperly. PPoE is not something a cable service would need to work. Fallow the steps I will provide bellow, I will add some screen shots also to assist if necessary.
1 - Open System Preferences from  (Menu)
2 - Click "Network"
3 - From the Network window you are going to wanna make sure Location is : Automatic and Show is : Airport
4 - Once the Show: Airport is select you should see a window like this, my window is selected for Ethernet simply because I am no longer running Tiger but the window will look the same.
5 - You will want to click on the PPPoE tab and you should see this
6 - You're gonna wanna make sure " connection using PPPoE " is not select, if it is make sure to uncheck this option
7 - Once this is uncheck make sure to click "Apply Now"
8 - You will want to click back on to the "TCP/IP" tab and make sure IPv4 is set to " Using DHCP "
9 - If the option to " Apply Now" is available again please click this
10 - Once this is done go to your Aiport Menu and see if your network is listed and select your network and eneter the password if necessary.
11 - If after these steps you still have issues I would recommend Power Cylcing your Router and Modem for about 5 minutes
12 - Make sure all lights are off when unplugging the Router and the Modem
13 - Some Modems have backup batterys so you may have to push in a tiny button on the back with a pin

On a kindle fire, there is no menu icon or settings icon, how do I get to settings

I have a kindle fire tablet, 8.9 hd. Just downloaded aurora and there is no apparent way to go to settings. When I tap the icon on aurora all it shows is " share", there is not a device menu icon on this screen, how do I get to settings?

Hi bluesky4me,
Sometimes Aurora will include a menu icon near the top-right of the screen - it will look like three vertical dots. If you tap that, settings should be right in there - though you may to scroll down a little to see them.
If you don't see the three dots button, then Aurora has detected that there is a (physical or virtual) device menu button.
On Kindles, I believe the button is in the black bar at the bottom of the screen. If the bar is hidden, you can swipe up to see it.
There's more info in your device manual (pages 8 and 9)

Hope that helps!

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you mean the Inverted Colors look. Try triple clicking the home button. If that doesn't work got to Settings->General->Accessibility->Inverted Colors. Turn it off.

How do I get the contacts from my mac to sync with Icloud? I need to back up my phone since I will be receiving a new one tomorrow and the icloud contacts are not the same as the ones on my mac. Help me

OS X Lion. 10.7. Your profile says your running 10.6.8, which is Snow Leopard. You need 10.7 to use iCloud with your Mac.

I suppose you have/had them on your iPhone, but do not have your iPhone with you now.
Did you ever sync the iPhone with iTunes, did you ever backed up the iPhone to iCloud?

Entourage is a third party app so stop down to the Microsoft support forums. In any case I would suspect in its preferences there would be a selection as to when (parameters) incoming mail should be deleted from the server.

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.
