HT2470 Since my computer automatically remembers my email password when I use my computer, I forgot my password to use when I am away from home. Is there a way to retrieve my password from my computer when I am at home?
When I am at home my computer automatically logs me into my email, so over time I have forgotten my password. Recently at work I was asked my password and what I thought was my password wouldn't work. Does finder keep this information where I can retrieve it?
"Keychain Access" in your Utilities folder is your friend for many password-related issues.
-Open Keychain Access and in the search field enter the name of the server for which you need the password.
-Select the server and "Get Info".
-At the bottom of the info panel will be a "Show password" checkbox. Enter your system password and voila the server password should be revealed.
Good luck.

I recently moved to USA from Canada. I have not changed my apple id but I have changed my phone and computer. Is there a way to retrieve my purchased music via iTunes? I checked what was available to download and only got a few digital booklets.
Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer. -
I just switched to Iphone 5c from Blackberry...is there a way to jump from the 1st email listed to the bottom of the list (sometimes 300-400) without scrolling manually thru them all? Also is there a way to organize them by sender?
Well, I think I know why the rules are not working. The alias mailbox is being listed as another mail folder and not as an actual inbox so the rules are not being applied. While I wish the rules would work, I will continue to manually mark some of the emails as spam.
As for the second issue with emails vanishing, I am waiting to see if it happens again. I think it must happen when it is syncing the data but I am not sure that it happens all the time. Today the previous emails seem to be their and it grabbed the new email so I don't know what happened with the vanishing email. Anyway this can be closed since I believe the main issue has been solved as being a setup issue with Yahoo alias email account. -

I reinstalled windows and wiped out everything. Is there any way to retrieve my library or at least my purchases??
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Certainly you did not reinstall you os without making sure your backup copy was up to date.
Just use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>transfer Purchases.
If you are in the U.S, then you can use the newly released Beta version of icloud to retrieve them. open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links.
ALWAYS maintaining a backup is very important. -
I was trying to Import photos to my computer and was asked to upgrade my Iphone before importing. In restoring my Iphone, it deleted all of my 200 new photos and they are now gone. Is there any way to retrieve them?
You should ALWAYS import all pics ( and anything selse for that matter) before any update.
If you failed to do this, then the pics are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup. -

I accidently deleted a voice mail message. Is there any way to retrieve it? I was told I had to reset my password since I entered the wrong one three times.
Depends on your carrier. You'll have to contact your carrier for how to do this. (This is for AT&T: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=52649#fbid=WLddP4KyTAu.)

About Apple Hardware Test
Apple Hardware Test diagnoses and detects problems with your computer's internal hardware components, such as the logic board, memory, and wireless components. It does not check external hardware components, such as USB or FireWire, or non-Apple devices, such as PCI cards from other vendors, nor does it check for operating system (Mac OS X) or software-related problems, such as application or extension conflicts.
You may be able to start up your computer with Apple Hardware Test even if the machine will not start up under the Mac OS X.
Using Apple Hardware Test
Before using Apple Hardware Test, disconnect all external devices with the exception of keyboard, mouse, display, and speakers. You should also disconnect the Ethernet network cable. If you are using the MacBook Air, you may need to connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive. Print out these instructions before proceeding with the following steps.
1. Restart your computer, holding down the “D” key while the computer restarts.
2. When the Apple Hardware Test language chooser screen appears, select the language appropriate for your locale, and press the Return key or click on the right arrow button.
3. If your computer is not supported by this version of Apple Hardware Test, an error dialog will be displayed. You should Shut Down the computer, locate the correct Mac OS X installation DVD containing Apple Hardware Test for this computer, and repeat the above steps.
4. If your computer does not restart to Apple Hardware Test:
a) Restart your computer with the Mac OS X installation DVD containing Apple Hardware Test. This should be the same DVD this document resides on. Hold down the “D” key while the computer restarts.
b) If your Mac has a Firmware Password enabled you need to disable it first using the Firmware Password Utility when booted from the Mac OS X installation DVD.
5. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen appears, follow the onscreen instructions.
Advice about using Apple Hardware Test
If Apple Hardware Test does not detect a hardware failure, the problem may be software related.
If Apple Hardware Test detects a problem, it displays an error code. Make a note of the error code before pursuing support options.
Alternatively if you are able to startup your computer from Mac OS X, you will be able to retrieve the error code, and optionally send this information to Apple, using the System Profiler utility application (which can be launched from the "About This Mac" dialog).
If your computer has more than the minimum configuration of RAM, the Extended Test may take significantly more time than indicated on the screen. Your computer can use memory modules or DIMMs even when the Power On Self-Test, which runs when the machine is turned on, detects part of a module as being bad. When you start up your computer, Apple Hardware Test reports failed memory modules in the Hardware Tests panel.
On computers with intelligent thermal management, it is normal for the fans to be running at high speed while using Apple Hardware Test.
Advice about hardware compatibility
When running Apple Hardware Test from the Mac OS X installation DVD, the DVD is not ejected on computers with a tray-loading optical drive when you click the Restart/Shut Down button. Either manually eject the DVD or use Mac OS X to eject the DVD.
Advice about resolving problems with your computer
• Turn the computer off and on properly.
You can often eliminate problems by turning off your computer as recommended. To turn off your computer, choose Shut Down from the Apple () menu. Do not turn off the computer by turning off the switch on a power strip or by pulling the computer’s power plug. Restart your computer by pressing the power button. To restart your computer when it is on, choose Restart from the Apple () menu.
• Check cables, peripherals, and controls.
To see if cables or peripherals are causing conflicts with your system, shut down your computer. Disconnect the cables and peripherals, such as printers, scanners, cameras and external mass storage devices. Then reconnect the cables and peripherals and restart your system. You can also adjust the controls on your monitors and other peripherals.
• Start up from the DVD containing the Mac OS X software.
Start your system from the DVD containing the Mac OS X software by holding down the "C" key until you see the Apple logo. If the system works properly when started (booted) from the DVD containing the Mac OS X software, the problem may be related to the software installed on your computer.
• Refer to Mac Help and the Internet for assistance.
Mac Help, located in the Help menu, includes a wealth of technical information. The AppleCare Knowledge Base and other resources for technical help and support are available 24 hours a day at www.apple.com/support.
• Reinstall the Mac OS X.
In many cases, a clean installation of the Mac OS X fixes recurring problems. Make sure you back up the data on your hard drive before reinstalling Mac OS X. Follow the instructions in the Read This First or Read Before You Install documents to reinstall Mac OS X.
• Contact AppleCare Service and Support for assistance.
If the above steps don’t resolve the problem, please review the service and support material that came with your computer for information on contacting AppleCare.

Is there any way to retrieve or recover lost personal data from my Firefox account?
Not knowing what it really meant, I checked the box that says "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" as I was uninstalling Firefox. (I just thought it will remove it from my computer... but not from my account!) Now that I reinstalled it, I realized that it meant removing all of my personal data from my Firefox account. -_____- Is there any way to retrieve them?
No, I'm afraid not. If you choose to remove personal data when uninstalling Firefox the all Firefox profile folders are removed. Not only from the current Firefox version, but from others as well if you have other Firefox builds installed. This choice should be used with much care.
You can try to recover some data with an undelete utility like Recuva.
