<Email Edited By Host>I have asked the moderator to remove your email information. The reason being is posting personall information such as email addresses, serial numbers, etc is very unwise in a public forum.
You will have to reset your password in order to make any changes in System Preferences. Please use Apple's advice in support.apple.com/kb/ht1274. -

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated."If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it. -
Power outage before Mac finished updating. What should I do?
My Mac was in the process of installing updates via Apple Software Update. For this update session, a restart was required - i.e. a message box popped up and said I had to restart to finish installing updates. So I clicked the button on the message box that would cause the Mac to restart.
After clicking the button, and before actually restarting, my Mac logged out of my account and went back to the default "space" desktop image where it finished some more updating (i.e. there was a message box with a growing blue bar representing the percentage of the update process that was finished).
Unfortunately, the blue bar had almost reached the end when my Mac suddenly shut down. It had not restarted, but actually shut down, and I couldn't turn it back on again. I checked my phone, microwave, refrigerator, which had all also turned off, and realized there had been a power outage while my Mac was updating.
After I got the power back on and turned on my Mac, the Mac seemed to start up normally and work fine. I tried Software Update again because I thought it might allow me to fully retry the update since it didn't finish fully due to the unfortunately timed power outage. However, it said that my software was fully up-to-date.
I have tried a few programs out so far and it seems to work fine for the most part. The only thing I've noticed is that Safari has been acting a bit strangely. For example, the cursor no longer changes into a hand over hyperlinks; instead it remains as an arrow. Second, whenever I click on any search result on Google, I get the following message (in this example, I clicked on the first search result for my search for "test"): "Redirect Notice The previous page is sending you to http://www.test.com/. If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page." Third, the full version of Gmail no longer works and I have to use the HTML version. I'm not sure whether these are glitches in the newest version of Safari or if they are a result of the computer not finishing the update process properly.
I haven't tried all software out yet, and I don't remember the full list of software being updated, so issues may potentially exist in other software caused by the update not finishing properly.
One other thing that occurred was that the first time I shut the computer down after turning it on after the power outage, a message popped up on the "space" desktop image after logging out, which said it was updating the system cache or something. But now the computer seems to shut down normally.
This might be a newbie question, but what could I do to address this issue? Thanks for any help.Perhaps. You can always reinstall the OS from the install discs you got when you bought the machine. After you have done that re-install 10.6.3.
The #1 thing you do before any major update is make sure you have a back up of your system. I know I'm preaching to the choir but perhaps this is something you can take to the person that stopped that from occurring the first time. -

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

I tried to install windows 7 in my macbook pro late 2011 but i tried to create partions after it installed and it turn to dynamic disks and i can't access mac or win 7 what should I do i cant format it because i dont have a backup
It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

I have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.2. Frequently the system fails detect a CD. Doesn't seem to make a difference if it contains music or is blank. I am unable to eject the CD. The system just doesn't recognize that a CD has been loaded.
Step one, boot the new MBA into recovery mode (CMD+R on startup), launch Disk Utility, wipe the HD, and restore the OS. On reboot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

IPod is on LOCKED MODE but I don't remember the password - What should I do
My ipod turned itself on lock mode and I don't remember assign it any password. What should I do ?
Connect the iPod to the main computer you use it with (if you use it with more than one, this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
