How do you access private folder?
I need to access to private folder like you do on PC C:\? I need to copy something to the root directory but I can see it in the search window when I look for the file I need to copy, but when I open my harddisk using the icon on my desktop it shows me only the usuall stuff like application, library, system etc. but the rest is hidden. How can I change that to see my root? Thanks
"Macintosh HD" in Finder is your root.
It's true that Finder doesn't by default display everything in the root directory. If you really want to see everything, check out this thread; but if you just need to move a file to root, you can do that now in Finder.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

How do you access folders/files in other users Finder list?
How do you access folders in other users finder list, once you have shared the folder or file
You should be able to open and view the contents of any directories you have access permissions to using FInder, by navigating the directory tree to the folders in question and opening them as you would your own folders. If you know the full path-name of the directory, you can enter it into the Finder navigator opened by Apple-Shift-G; the dialog that pops up uses the same directory listing method as all unix systems, and has tab completion for ease of use. In general, all users have their home directories in /Users/, or you can simply use ~/../<name> to go to the home folder of a user via the parent (..) directory of your home (~) directory. If you are experiencing bugs or errors with this, as opposed to simply not knowing how to do this, please post any details of your experience so that others can help troubleshoot your problems.

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now? And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password? Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.
So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases -

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

How do you remove a folder from an itunes library once it's been added?
How do you remove a folder from an itunes library once it's been added?
When you delete the song, a menu will come up and ask you if you want to trash or keep the file. Select "keep file." It will no longer be in your song list but it will remain on your harddrive. To add it back in use the --"add to library"-- command in the drop down "File" Menu (you have to navigagte to where the song is stored on your hard drive and select it-- to add it back in.
Re: it ended up in the wrong album
If your songs are going in the wrong place go to the "Get Info" command and check the information under all the tabs (look at a song that's in the right album to see how it's listed) -- one or more of the boxes is incorrect or empty. Just put in the right information and close the info window. That should put it back in the right spot for you. -

How do you access your pictures that you stored on icloud from your ipod?

We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.
You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized. -

how do you add a folder to email files
The folders on the desktop are widgets. Hit the app button in the top right hand side to take you to the app and widget drawer. Once there tap on the word Widgets at the top of the screen and scroll over to the folder widgets. Press and hold on the folder you want and it will then turn into a movable item you can drag to your desktop.

C,
What type of backup was it? I'm hoping you were using Time Machine or creating a Bootable Clone using Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. If that is the case then I'd recommend starting over so you can restore all your data, applications, settings etc... You missed your first chance when you turned on the new system and it asked if you had another Mac you wanted to migrate from. You can get a second chance to do this and migrate. Please carefully look over Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips beginning where he talks about Second Chance....and make sure you have the proper cable before starting. If your backup EHD has a USB connection that will be fine if it has a FireWIre 400 connection you will a cable like this one from Amazon.
You can find these at your local computer store, Walmart, Radio Shack etc.. -
How do you access "trouble shoot" for mail. Our AOL account is set up on the mail icon but somehow it defaulted onto another nearby Wifi account while everything else that was running stayed on our router. We were unable to receive email on the AOL account and were directed to trouble shoot. We reset the Wifi account but somehow didn't save it correctly. Now we cannot get back in to reset it again. Direction??
Hello
I don't really understand your question. The Mail application cannot independently access a different wifi network from the one your computer is using.
Are you trying to troubleshoot your wifi (ie, you can't get into your own wireless network), or the Mail program (you can't get email)? Are there any error messages you see when you try to do one or the other?

How do you access your itunes library from any computer
how do you access your itunes account from another computer?
You have asked two different questions?
Your account is just a user name and password. You can access that to buy content from any computer with itunes, just sign it.
Your library wil only be where your put it. Yo can copy it from one computer to another, or from your backup copy of your computer ot another computer. In some countries you can download some past itunes purchases.
