I gave my Mom an iPad. She has created an Apple ID (twice) and forgotten her pass code. She has now been locked out and told her "iPhone is disabled". How do I help her? We are 2 provinces away from each other!
She is 75 and frustrated! How do I walk her through this?

Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

First of all, GarageBand iOS allows for only one tempo and there is no Merge Song feature.
What you can do.
Switch between the songs and copy-paste the individual Tracks. You can also Merge Tracks if you run into the 8 Track limitation.
Hope that helps

You can't reverse the erase.
Restore from your iTune or iCloud backup.

Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How to separate them. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How can I separate them in iTunes???????. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

The reason you are receiving each other's text messages is because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To prevent this you need to use different IDs. (Note: you can still share the same ID for iTunes.) On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.
To migrate your 3GS to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone to your camera roll. To do this, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Next, if you have any notes that you are syncing with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to email these to yourself so they can be recreated after moving to the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone. Next, sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account, turn iCloud data syncing preferences and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, if you have merged data in the two accounts that you want to separate you will have to go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

My ipad is asking for a pass code to install updates - never done before and I haven't set one. What next?

My ipad is asking for a pass code to perform the software updates. It has never done this before and I haven't set a pass code. How do I find, amend or delete this?

It's asking for the passcode you use to lock/unlock your iPad.

Please move the 'SEND' and 'SPELL CHECK' options away from each other, and when sending, ask the question, 'Are you sure you want to send now?' Thanks

The send and spell check options are next to each other. I can not tell you how many times I hit the send button be accident. When sending, and question of 'Are you sure you want to send now?', should be asked.
Thanks

Actually, unless something has changed, you can set Thunderbird to run an automatic spell check when you click Send. That might be your best workaround.
Tools menu > Options > Composition panel > Spelling mini-tab
(You can display the classic menu bar by tapping the Alt key)
It might also be possible to customize the toolbar, but I think this might be safer.
Regarding a general confirmation for sending, I noticed some add-ons for that, but I don't have any personal recommendations.

How to select multiple nodes, which are not next to each other, in a tree?

The following code suppose to allow user select any combination of nodes (because of DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION), however, I can only select nodes which are next to each other. Can some one told me how to make this DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION work?
Thank you very much!
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
public class TestTree extends JFrame {
public TestTree() {
super();
setBounds(0,0,500,500);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JTree tree = new JTree();
getContentPane().add(tree);
TreeSelectionModel model = new DefaultTreeSelectionModel();
model.setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION);
tree.setSelectionModel(model);
public static void main(String [] args) {
TestTree test = new TestTree();
test.show();

In Windows you hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on the nodes you want to select. Don't know the equivalent in other environments.

Emails now seem to be incoming again however the issue is sending an email.... all settings are correct for a blueyonder email account, it shows in sent items but not received at the recipients end..
I know its an issue with the SMTP settings on the ipad and iphone as sending it from online mail works fine... very strange? any advice

Since the latest update of Firefox my bookmarks are further apart from each other. Can i change that?

Before the update the bookmarks (in the column at the left) fitted nicely in my screen, now they do not anymore.

hello rovani, this was an intended change in the new version in preparation for the redesign of firefox codenamed [http://getaustralis.com australis] that is going to land in the browser in the course of next year.
in case you want to revert that, please refer to jscher2000's solution at

I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to my Time Capsule. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule?

I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to the same Time Capsule over a wifi network. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule? Is there a way to ensure that the files on the 2 laptops are kept private from each other? Thanks!

If someone really wants to do something, it won't take them long to find out how to do it.

Security on a Time Capsule is a bit like installing a lock on a tent. It will keep the honest folks out, but probably not the others.

With a wired keyboard and a 2014 iMac I cannot select multiple items which are not next to each other

I have recently changed from Windows 7 desktop to a new iMac running Mavericks. I have chosen a wired keyboard as I like the usual Delete key function.
I cannot find out how to select several items which are not next to each other (e.g. words in Pages). The well known method in Windows, which is repeated in the the Apple Finder Help screen, does not work. Would be grateful for advice

Hi JBowfin,
If I am understanding your question correctly, I believe that I have an article that will address this question for you:

I have a problem, my wife has an ipad with photos , emails etc etc, she has recently got herself a new iPad Air, has now been using that for two or more months, more photos (new) more emails and other stuff. What she wants to do is get all she wants from ipad 1 to new ipad without finishing up with 2 of everything which happen on previous occasion. I realise that she needs to tidy up ipad 1 first and get rid of thousands of emails etc. I need help.
