Hello, on the Date...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...
See which one your G5 has...

HT4859 I CHANGED THE EMAIL ON MY ITUNES AND IT IS NO LONGER BACKING UP BECAUSE IT WANTS THE OLD EMAIL, WHICH I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TOO.

I changed the email to my itunes and now my cloud is stuck on the old email which I no longer have access.

To change your iCloud account to a new Apple ID, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
This will not move your photo stream, however. If you have photos in photo stream that aren't in your camera roll and you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then delete the iCloud account and your photos will stay in your camera roll.

I want to upgrade to ios 5, succeeded, but the itunes asking me for password to restore my backup, i tried all sorts of possible password and it can't. and now i am not able to retrieve my backup. i have lots of impt data inside! what should i do?

Anyone please help me asap. really super urgent!

There are two ways that a backup can become encrypted:
You chose to encrypt it, then forgot the password.
If you have company-provided MS Exchange access your IT department has the option of requiring your backup to be encrypted. The first time you backed up or synced after installing MS Exchange you were prompted for a password. That is the password you need.
If you don't have the password any longer there is no way to restore the backup.

How do I change from my old email provider to the new one so when i click on a web link I dont get the old proviser which I no long have?

Often webpages contain links to someone who can be contacted just by clicking on the contained link and then one's email service pops up with the required email address etc filled in. However i have recently change service provider and I still get the old provider showing which I no longer have, when I click on such website links. How do I get the new provider to show?

For Firefox you would generally have Use system default if on your system , or choose a web based system such as GMmail
:T00ls > Options > Applications > mailto: (drop down has choices)
Windows OS
:Control Panel > Default Programs > choose program if on your system or Firefox if web based email

I tried to create another apple ID as I forgot my password and now my iPhone and iPad are locked and I am unable to access them.

Does anyone have any answers?

Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

TS4009 i paid and increased my icloud storage on my mac air, but my iPhone keeps sending me messages of not enough icloud storage. please advise

Hi there,
I paid for additional icloud storage on my mac air, now my iphone continues to send "not enough storage icloud" messages.
How do I get the two to line up?
Thanks

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.
See if the message has disappeared.

I updated Firefox to 32.0.2 and lost all passwords. Oddly still have all bookmarks. How can I recover the old passwords?

The title sums it up, if there's more information I need to provide please let me know. Currently when I look up passwords using the password manager in tools, options, security, show passwords it is empty. Hoping there's a way to restore all of the old passwords.

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Hello Martin,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iCloud account on your Mac. I recommend signing out of iCloud first:
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

If you are still being prompted for your password, I recommend the steps in the following article (this article refers to an iOS device, but the steps are still relevant for your Mac as well):

How do I change my icloud email when don't know the old password after I have changed my apple ID email address and the password? icloud is still online with my old email address!!!

I got a new phone but backed it up through my itunes, and when I tried to use icloud it kept telling me I have forgotten my password, when I really really didn't. So I went to settings > itunes&appstore and changed my password, but also changed the email address too while I was at it, since I've always wanted to change it. But now here's the problem. My iphone's icloud is currently logged in with my old apple ID email address, which seems to not work with the new password, so I can't log it or even delete the account off my iphone. And ovbiously, I don't know the old password that I have "forgotten", as my phone tells me. There seems to be no way of changing the icloud account now.... What should I do?!

So what was the solution. I have a similar problem on all of my devices now

How can I change my icloud account without knowing the old password

How can I change my icloud account on my phone when I don't know the old password and I'm on a shared plan

iCloud has nothing to do with your shared plan.
