How do I reset iChat and Facetime on an Air so I can basically start fresh?
How do I reset iChat and Facetime on my Air. When I bought it we had everything on my husbands MacBook put on the Air. All the iChat and Facetime setting are his so the Air and MacBook won't iChat or Facetime with each other.
Remove their preference files in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Remove any related folder in /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. Relaunch each application and reconfigure.
Check the rest of the computer for other inconsistencies. For example, the Computer Name in Sharing preferences may need to be changed. Settings in Accounts preferences for the long name, account name, and password. Changing the account name is quite complicated.
If you truly wish to start fresh then erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.

What is the difference between iChat and FaceTime ?
I was not sure why we need both iChat and FaceTime. Is iChat going away in favor of FaceTime?
Hi.
FaceTime
1-1 conversations between Phone, iPod Touches, iPad 2s or Macs.
Only in Video (No text, no file sharing etc)
Basically like Capt. Kirk on a planet with a communicator to ship but in Video.
iChat
Multiple service App (AIM, Jabber and Yahoo in iChat 6)
Can Video up to 4 people including yourself.
Can Text Chat, Share fiiles in Text Chats and in Video Chats
Does separate Audio Only chats
Can Screen Share One on One.
Can show iPhoto Slide shows and other Documents via iChat Theatre.
Can show Pics and Video Feed.
It is the Enterprise to Star Fleet communications in comparison to FaceTime.
Messages beat takes iChat one step further and lets you iMessage to Phones or iPads (numbers or Apple IDs) from a Mac (Apple ID) which in turn can invoke FaceTime to Video.
Pics and Files can be sent in iMessages
(the phone or iPad is still using two apps as is the Mac, but Messages provides an interface link.)
Apart from that Messages does everything iChat did/Does with the regular Buddy lists

You will not get the free apps because the free apps are registered to your Apple ID. -

How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again on my iphone5s
How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again?
Your apps are not stored in your icloud account. You should be able to delete the app from the device using the wiggling icons and tap the X process and then downloading directly to device from the itunes store wirelessly. Don't do it via iTunes on your computer where a copy of the app is stored.

Hi, I hope some one can help as I updated my version of iTunes and now get the error "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer". I understand that I need to delete and reinstall iTunes but all of my music has been uploaded from CD's and I'd like to know if these are safe if I delete iTunes of if they too will be deleted. I have over 1300 songs so this is a big question for me. Many thanks.
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)
First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you still get the errors after that, try the following user tip:

How do I reset responses (and summary report data) and use my online form for a new application?
I created my online form, distributed it and captured the responses - worked well. Now I want to use the same form and start over (track the responses separately from the first time). How do I reset the results / responses? Thanks for any help you provide.
Go to the My Forms tab on the main dashboard (were all of your forms are listed). Select your form and hit the duplicate button. This will make a copy of your form and you have the option to include or not include the responses in the copy.

I have bought an iPhone 4 from my sister. How do I reset it (delete her contacts) and load my contents etc?

How do I reset an iPad 2 to factory defaults when I can't recall the Restriction passcode?
I have tried all of the suggested reset methods and still cannot reset to factory defaults. Somehow I setup a restrictions passcode that I can't find or remember so I seem to bee stuck.
Does anyone have a solution?The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
