    Since updating to ios7 i can no longer partially download emails and this is using up all my data plan. How can I make Mail only be partially downloaded again?

    YEA!  My jurryrig worked!  To all with this problem:
    You CAN have podcasts in a regular playlist IF you convert them to a standard MP3 first.  So, yes, a lot of manual labor
    The good news: if, like me, it is a track that you listen to frequently (in my case meditations for sleep and relaxation) then the time is worth it.  I will mess with automator later to see if there is anyway to script this!  Then, less work for me and more for my mac.
    Here are the steps:
    Select the file from your Podcast folder.
    Change all data you need -- "artist," "album" etc...
    Make a copy of the cover art for this file by dragging it to the desktop.
    Select the Advanced -> Convert ID3 Tags menu item.
    Check ID3 tag version, and select "v1.0" from the drop-down menu.
    Drag the file to the desktop (this will make a copy of the MP3 on the desktop)
    Delete the file from the iTunes list.
    Drag the copy of the file you have on the Desktop back into iTunes.
    Search for the file in the Library, and add the cover art again to the file.
    Now the file is out of the Podcasts folder and works like a regular MP3 file inside iTunes. You can re-add it back to playlists!

    You can set the pref <b>browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • I forgot my Firefox Sync username and password but have the sync code. Will that allow me to recover my bookmarks? I don't have access to the original computer in sync.

    You need at least the email address that you used to create that account to reset the password.

  • I have an iMac5, 1 with dual core of 2 x 512 MB. Can I add memory to the original computer to take advantage of the new OSX Mavericks download?

    I have an iMac5, 1, with a dual core of 2 X 512 MB RAM. Can I add memory to my original computer in order to take advantage of the recent OSX Mavericks download?

    You can:
    Maximum Memory
    3.0 GB (4.0 GB can be installed, only 3.0 GB will be addressed)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    You will need to replace the modules you now have with one 2 and one 1 GB module or two 2 GB modules.
    You cannot install anything higher than 10.75 Lion as your model is not able to run anything higher.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Be sure to check whether any of your applications will have to be upgraded or replaced..

  • HT4972 Trying to update iphone to ios5 but my main pc crashed and I got a new laptop. How do I update without losing my info?

    It says that if I use the new laptop that I will lose everything. I have been using the new one for downloads, sync's and purchases for a while now but I forgot when I first got the phone it was the other laptop that crashed. Can someone please help me on this?
    Thank You

    If things went correctly your phone should look the same.  But now you are able to sync with your new computer without losing your data.  If you succesfully synced your phone with iTunes and still have all your apps and other data intact then you're all set.  (If you didn't get a merge or replace prompt for calendars or contacts you may not have chosen to sync these by selecting to do so on the Info tab of your sync settings.)
    Updating is another thing; it does erase the phone but restores from backup later.  Read "The Update Process" here: https://sites.google.com/site/appleclubfhs/support/advice-and-articles/updating- ios so that you understand what to expect before updating your phone.  Also, as a precaution, before updating your phone you should always import all your photos to your computer and back up your contacts.  If you don't have any other way to back up your contacts use the app My Contacts Backup.

  • Where can I go to download the original drivers & mediasource that came with my Zen Xt

    I keep getting errors when trying to transfer all my songs from my Zen Xtra to my PC when using both Mediasource 5, Sync Manager and Nomad Explorer. Creative say it is because I'm still running on the original firmware and would need to upgrade. However - doing so will delete all my songs!
    It worked fine when I transferred using my original drivers and organiser that came with the player however I have lost the disc (!!!). Does anyone know where I can download them? There is only updated software on the creative downloads page.
    My Vision M comes tomorrow and I can't get my songs off my Zen for it!
    Thanks very much for helping.

  • My old boss is using info that is still being sharded with the mac i used. She is violating my privacy. How can I disconnect with that computer. I do have its serial

    I quit my job 5 weeks ago and just found out that my old boss is reading all my text, email, facebook, etc on my macbook air that I used while employed. How can I stop sharring info with that computer.I have its serial#, etc

    Change the password on your iCloud account and on any other email accounts.
    If you had Find My Mac setup on the Mac Air you could log in to your iCloud account at iCloud.com, go to the Find My Mac section and either wipe the Air clean or lock it.
    That's pretty drastic and might bring consequenses.

  • HT4463 i formated my macbook and i cannot install itunes and all the apps that was on my mac. I purchased my mac from the original owner and removed all that was on my mac. how can i get these programs back on my mac

    Hi sabineolt1,
    Your post indicates you are the operating system on your Mac is 10.5.8
    If that is correct, you will need to update to at least 10.0.6 in order to use the Mac App Store and redownload your purchased apps.

  • Forgot my password on ipod - I'm plugged into the original computer. can I reset while plugged in?

    4th Gen ipod touch - updated with ios6, plugged into the original computer.  Forgot password. is there an easy way to get it unlocked without losing data and having to add back in??

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I bought a new computer, and i have transfered everything using home share, file transfers, etc.. yet still when i go to sync, itunes tells me ipod can only be synced with one computer... is there a way to retire the relationship with the old computer?

    i bought a new computer.  the itunes app allows for home shareing, file transfers, etc.. but i want to discontinue the syncing with the old computer and sync my ipod touch now only on my new system... but i cant seem to disconnect that old relationship at all.. when i try to syncit says that my ipod is already synced with another computer, do i want to discontinue that and only use the new informationon this computer?  i dont want to do that yet because it doesnt seem like everything has come over, and i am afraid of losing songs that i downloaded from cds, etc..

    if you don't want to sync it because you don't think that everything has been transferred then i would check first if you can, before you commit to used only the data from your new computer.
    though, im not sure if this is true, but i think that when you sync your ipod to a new computer it will take the items from your ipod and put it on itunes, like when you purchase something on your ipod and it gets automatically transfered, but don't take my word for it.

  • HT4623 i can no longer access Safari.  It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it still does not work.  I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and it has Safari.  My iphone4 does not.  What is the problem?

    I can no longer access Safari.  It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it  (Safari) still does not work.  I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and Safari is operable.   However, Safari on my iphone is not.  What is the problem?

    That is the way it works. It designed to do that.
    In addition to everything else you have to this other person's computer you would have to move your complete iTunes library over also. Only then will it recognize youriTouch.
