I don't have Wikipedia suggestions in Spotlight
I don't have Wikipedia suggestions in Spotlight and would like to have them. How can I have them?
Thank you,
Best Regards,

Hey there Adrian,
If you are not seeing any Wikipedia suggestions when you search with Spotlight, then the option for Spotlight Suggestions may be disabled in the Spotlight section of System Preferences:
If searching your Mac doesn’t return expected results - Mac Help
Check your Spotlight preferences
You may have removed items from Spotlight search results. Choose Apple menu > System preferences, click Spotlight, then click Search Results.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

i tried downloading adobe flash but it prompts for a password. none of the passwords i have (including that which i use with apple) works. any suggestions?
You are prompted for a password before installing Flash? If so, this is your Mac's admin password, which doesn't have anything to do with your Apple ID unless you chose to use the same password for your computer admin login account as is used for your Apple ID.

I tried doing my update and it told me I don't have enough storage, so I deleted all of my apps, photos, videos, and music and I still don't have enough storage. Any suggestions?
Do you memeber the complete wording of the error message?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?
What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often. -
I have an ipad 2, MC769x it is running 4.3.3 (8j2) i have been trying to upgrade to ios 5 or higher but a) I don't have a software update option on my Settings / General screen. And b) when I go into itunes I don't get tihe options suggested on the forums. I really want to upgrade my ipad as I want to buy and install some apps that are only available from ios5 onwards. I have been a big apple fan but I am now wondering if my ipad2 was a mistake.
If your are using IOS 4, see below.

When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore? I have all of my stuff backed up on iCloud but I really don't want to go through the hassle of wiping it clean and putting everything back on.
This is a post from a user named edgar999 and it worked PERFECTLY:
"OK - this is how it works:
In order to backup from iCloud you cannot use iTunes!
Therefore disconnect your device from your computer.
Turn on your device and go to Settings and then go to General.
At the bottom of this submenu there is a buttom "Reset"
If you push that buttom you see 6 different Erase settings to chose from!
Chose "Erase All Content and Settings" because this will wipe everything from your device and will let you restore from iCloud! (I tried the top "Reset All Settings" but that did not let me use iClouds afterwards!)
Once you pushed that buttom your device will be wiped clean and after some time you will see the Device Welcome Screen like on a new device!
After choosing your location you will be asked to setup your WiFi-conection. After you joint to your Wifi you will be given the choice to restore the iPad from a backup from the iCloud. Choosing this backup will prompt you with your apple ID and password.
Restoring from a backup can take some time. The process uses your Wi-Fi connection to download settings, content and data. If you had a lot of content on your device, this can take a while. The restore screen should give you estimates at each stage of the restore process, starting with restoring the settings and then booting into the iPad. When the iPad home screen appears, the device will continue the restore process by downloading all of your applications.
If you are restoring from a backup because you have run into problems with your device that can only be solved by restoring it, you can first choose your latest backup. If you still have problems, you can move on to the next latest backup, repeating the process until (hopefully) the problem is cleared."
THANK YOU edgar999!!!! -
I'm just trying to revive my old PowerPC G4/ dual 867MHz 512MB. Unfortunately I am unable to install from disc since my optical drive, although still working, is somehow not able to read the leopard installer. I wanted to try the remote install option but have limited resources and don't have a network where I can have both the Mac desktop and windows laptop communicate. I read somewhere that I can use a crossover cable to connect the two directly. I'm still trying to see if I can get an external DVD-ROM as another option. Any suggestions?
Your Mac doesn't need a crossover cable, it auto-switches...

But I have no idea how that will help you install from a Windows computer.
If you get an external DVD drive it needs to be Firewire & Mac bootable.
Other solution...

IPhoto won't open, error message appears, suggests reinstall but don't have disks!
The following message has just appeared:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/iLifeFaceRecognition.framework/Versions/A/iLifeFaceRecognit ion
Referenced from: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto
Reason: image not found
Suggests reintalling but I don't have disks. App store won't let me reinstall as it is already installed.
Any one any ideas please?To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -
I'm trying to view a site that sends a message that I don't have the most recent graphic card drivers to view with. It suggests I have the ability to view, but that my drivers might be disabled. I don't know how to check to see what graphic drivers my macbook (end of 2008 model) have enable. Can someone help?
You don't need to care about graphic driver on Mac OSX. It includes in OSX and run the driver your MacBook need.

Hi, in my older Itunes version next to my library I had Itunes "Genius" suggesting songs. I don't have it anymore. Hpw do I reset it?
Go to iTunes prefs, general, Genius checkbox. It should be checked if you want it. Is it? If so, go to the Sidebar and look for Genius (should appear near SHARED or ITUNES DJ). Click it. Does it have a button for "turn on Genius"? If so, click that.

In determining whether you have enough, did you include the sales tax on the app?
