You can only import photos from the camera roll into the computer. Is that the album that you are seeing?
Any albums that you create on the device itself (the iPad that is) cannot be transferred to your computer. iPad created albums do not contain copies of your photos but merely pointers to those photos so they do not actually exist in those albums.

Lost my masterpassword, I have uninstalled and installed Firefox, but when I reinstall it remembers my settings (including master password), what can I do?

I have tried installing and reinstalling the browser but it does not work.
What do I need to do in order to install as new and so I can set up my new master password or recoup my old one?

hello lmoncada, for instructions please refer to [[Reset your Master Password if you've forgotten it]]

i need to change my account information so my devices will sync together, however i do not have my email my ipod account is linked to and i dont remeber the password. In short i need to remove my ipod from my old itunes account but i cant log on to that old account. What can i do?

You'll need to reset the password that account then before you can transfer these purchases to your iTunes library and your iPhone.

If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact Apple support directly by phone and have them walk you through resetting the account information.

My brother gave me his ipod and he forgot the password what can i do to restore the ipod?

Is there a way to reset the password?

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

NEED HELP FORGOT MASTER PASSWORD

I FORGOT MASTER PASSWORD BUT I HAVE THE STARTP DISC 10.4.6. .. I TRIED TO HIT THE APPLE C BUT ON RESTART BUT IT DIDNT RESPOND ,,, I ALSO HIT THE APPLE S ..BUT IM NOT FAST ENOUGH TO TYPE COMMANDS... CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO REBOOT USING MY DISC .. I CAN ONLY USE MY GUEST ACCOUNT AND NOT MY MASTER .. EVERYTHING IS BACKED UP .. BUT WHAT SHOULD I DO TO COMPLETELY RE-INSTALL ?

Insert the Mac OS X install disk. Then select Restart and hold down the "c" key. You don't have to be really fast, you have plenty of time. But keep the "c" key held down until you get the Apple screen and the "spinning gear" progress indicator. See this for complete instructions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Make sure you're using the disk that came with your Mac, or a later retail copy.
Regards.
BTW, a couple of "housekeeping" items:
1) It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .
2) This forum is for the minitower Mac Pro. If you have a MacBook Pro, the forums for that are here:

I forget my iphone password what can i do?

i forget my iphone password what can i do?

If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
      the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
      command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
     until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
     message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

If you've forgotten the answers to your security questions and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
