    Contact Apple for a replacement disc (you will need to give them the serial # of the iMac)

  • How do I recover my lost contacts and pictures?

    I just sinked my phone to my mac book pro and when iTunes asked me which device was i going to pair it with by accident I chose my old iPhone I had back in 2010. So now all of my pictures and contacts are gone from my phone? How do I recover all of this files??? Please help me!!!

    Your contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have chosen to sync.
    You pics should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera.
    If you failed to sync your contacts and failed to import your pics, then they may well be gone.
    You can try restoring from the latest backup.

  • How can i recover a lost password for bootcamp?

    I forgot my password for my bootcamp drive it's taking up 200gb of my HD, how can I recover it? Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion

    Boot Camp is not an App, it does nothing except create a partition for Windows to be installed in. Windows does have a password.
    I know of no way to recover a Boot Camp password (because there isn't one) If it is the Windows password then Microsofts forums will probably be better for Windows problems.
    Can you boot to OSX?

  • How do I recover a lost password when Apple doesn't recognise my birth date?

    OK, I have a new iPad Mini, but for some reason it does not recognise my Apple ID. When typing in the ID and password, the password is not recognised. When I go to the "reset my password" part of iforgot, the computer does not recognise my birth date.
    How do you get past all this, and sort out the password glitch?

  • How do I recover a lost password safe app icon after installing ios 7

    I can only access secure safe app by searching on my iphone as the icon is missing after the install of ios7.0.2. I have rebooted with no restore of the icon. It is not sitting in any other folders. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

    I rebooted twice and the second time worked. This seems to have resolved the issue.

  • I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.

    Well, it's kind of like walking into a bank and saying you forgot your name and address but you want access to your account, still:

    Hi,
    If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?

  • How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages?  The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

    How do I recover a lost font in pages?  The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders.  None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages.  At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find.  Would greatly appreciate help!
    thanks much,  Eilert

    Thanks for the idea, fruhulda.  I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there.  However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened.  At any rate, the problem is now gone.

    As long as you enabled it when you first activated your Iphone, it's pretty straightforward.  Using any computer, go to icloud.com.  Sign in with your Apple ID. A screen will come up with a map showing the general location of your phone.  If you have a friend with an iphone and are logged in using Safari, when you get close, you can tell your iphone to make a sound.  Good luck.

  • How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

    How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

    If you mean you lost the passcode for your iPhone, you cannot recover it.  You can reset it by attaching the iPhone to your computer with iTunes and restore the iPhone from the most recent backup.  That removes the passcode.
    If iTunes does not recognize the iPhone or let you restore, attach in recovery mode by starting iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end of the cable.  iTunes should then ask if you want to restore.

  • How can i recover my security questions and answer

    How can i recover my security questions and answer?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
