I accidentally deleted all the files inside Quicktime, and now when I try to import to iMovie it won't let me...how do I fix this?
How do I get them back? It's from the Quicktime that already came with my Mac...please help me...It won't let me import movies to iMovie!!
What installer software package files? Could you tell me how to get there?
Afraid I'm not a mind reader. You have to download the installer packages from whatever source provides those installer packages. For instance, you would download the DivX installer package file from DivX. The Perian codec installer package would found at the Perian web site. QT "Pro" codec components installers may be include with older Motion or FCP Suite software or from the Apple site, etc., etc., etc. At this point all I know for sure is that that you have part of the DivX package installed and should reinstall the entire package if you plan to use it for anything.
Everyone's codec component configuration may be different depending on what codecs the need to use. Perhaps it would be easier if I provide an image showing the codec components installed on my Snow Leopard configured laptop:
This is a very basic set-up since I do most of my video work on my iMac which has FCP installed on it. In this case you can see:
a) AC3MovieImport.component (Apple)
b) AppleIntermediaCodec.component (Apple)
c) AppleMPEG2Codec.component (Apple)
d) Elgato Turbo.component (Elgato)
e) EyeTV MPEG Support.component (Elgato)
f) Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component (Telestream)
g) Flip4Mac WMV Export.component (Telestream)
h) Flip4Mac WMV Import.component (Telestream)
i) Perian.component (Perian)
j) x264Encoder.component (MacUpdate)
The first three codecs were installed by my System Installer w/iMovie package (i.e., pre-installed on system when purchased or added afterwards by iMovie). The Elgato codec installers came with with my Turbo H.264 and EyeTV hardware devices. (I you don't have such devices, then you don't needcan't use these codecs.) The WMV codecs were purchased from Telestream. The Perian codec was a free download from the Perian web site and is used for DivX, XviD, 3ivX, DTS, AC3, MKV, FLV, and other audio/video/file type support. (I.e., I don't use the DivX package.) The X.264 codec is a leftover from my old Leopard system and not really used much anymore since I now prefer using HandBrake GUI for most X.264 custom encodes.
At this point, would assume you need to rerun the Snow Leopard/iMovie Installer if you purchased the system with system pre-installed or purchased the it as a system upgrade. Another alternative would be to find another Snow Leopard OS platform and simply copy the missing Apple iMovie codecs from a working system to your non-working system. All other codecs are up to you. Only you know what third-party codecs were installed on your system. And if you don't remember, you will probably find out what you are missing every time you try to play a video containing an unsupported codec.
Since you seem to be very inexperienced here, you may wish to consider joining a local user group or seeking some one-on-one assistance from someone in your local area.

ICCID unknown is a critical failure, usually caused by hacking or jailbreaking the phone. It can not be fixed. The phone will need to be replaced.

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?
If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it. -
I bough a Mac Pro 2010 second hand and deleted all the files without backing up now is asking me for the Apple ID of the person who installed maverick,any ideas
If the Mac's firmware was updated, you can try this Internet Recovery:
Hold down Command + Option + R during restart or bootup; hold until you see a spinning globe (takes up to 10 minutes). Once in the Utilities window, use Disk utility to wipe the drive, then return to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. If that works, the OS will be installed without being tied to an Apple ID.
FWIW, if the firmware was updated, you will not be able to use the Snow leopard disk to install - I just did several tests and it does not work. You can, however, possibly install the SL onto an external drive and then clone it to the internal or (if you have a clone), boot from that and clone it back - I just tested that as well.
If the firmware was not updated, then you can use the SL install disk. -
I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?
Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

I've recently upgraded to Lightroom5.7.1 and now when I try to import photos a window pops up saying 'the photos can't be imported 'cos the files can't be read'. I had no problems before upgrading. I have Windows8 & can't find any 'app' which sets the type of files I can import. Any help appreciated.
Well, think about it. This is a Lightroom forum. We are here to answer questions about Lightroom and how to solve problems in Lightroom. Your permissions issue is an operating system issue, not a Lightroom issue. I didn't mean to be sarcastic. But there are plenty of Internet resources that will answer that question.
I just went to Google and typed in "change disk permissions", and there are links for the Mac as well as for Windows listed. There's no sense in me rewriting instructions that are already available. -

I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?
I fixed it!!
While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new. -
I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

I have a new laptop so I download again iTunes...the problem here is that I just got a cd and I tried to put it on my iPod and it won't let me, how can I fix this?
The iPod sees the new computer as a new iTunes library. You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage music among disfferent computers. See:

I reset my phone , made a new account even deleted all my apps but nothing works . How do I remove the restrictions if any for the 17+ apps ? Pleasee help !
It's set in Settings/General/Restrictions. You will need the Restrictions passcode to access the setting. Presumably someone placed the restriction on your phone. You need to talk to whomever set the restriction if it wasn't you.

I updated to v5.7 and now when I try to import photos, the app gets stuck at "importing files"
The application isn't unresponsive as I can cancel the import but nothing is happening, the files are not being imported. Nothing strange with the file names, I'm on a Mac with OSX10.95. What should I do?
Are you trying to do a copy or move? Does the right side of the Import dialog box show a Destination panel? If not, make it appear by right-clicking on one of the other panels and select Destination.
If that's not it, then you need to give us a whole lot more detail about what you are doing. -
