I got a fraud alert from Firefox when entering in personal information...did the personal information go through, or did Firefox stop it?
I got a fraud email from "Apple" saying that my Apple ID had been used to make a charge on my account, from Russia, and I needed to confirm some information to delete the charge.
Like a dummy, I entered in my personal information. When I clicked done, I got a webpage in my Firefox browser saying that it was a fraudulent website and chose the option to "Get me out of here!"
I'm wondering if my personal information actually went through, or if Firefox stopped it because that was a known fraudulent site?
It's possible that the information went through (and BTW, Apple would never send you an e-mail like the one that you sent, that's an easy scam to identify).
To be safe, change any passwords associated with any accounts you have that could have been compromised due to this. Apple ID, E-mail, etc.

I've got a wireless network with one iMac and a Vista PC, on the Vista PC is through USB a printer connected. How can i print from my iMac to that particular printer ?
You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using ??
It is safe to download if your phone is not jailbroken. Before you download it, however, take some precautions:
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall
Connect the phone cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
Before updating right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup"
When you are given the choice choose "Download only", not "Download and Update"
After the download completes successfully click the Update button to install it.
Most of these steps are just being overly cautious, as most people ignore them and have no problems. But occasionally the extra steps save grief. -
premiere elements 10 downloads but will not open? info says to remove disc from desktop -- when i do that it closes the program?
Hi, Ken -
Since you have a new install of OSX, you may be missing Stuffit Expander, needed to expand downloads encrypted/archived in a Stuffit format. That problem confronted me with a new machine running OSX 10.6; a download and install of Stuffit Expander fixed it.
You can download Stuffit Expander from this webpage -

Note - be sure to get the version that matches your OSX version. -
I got my Apple TV from US but I live in India where the electric voltage is different from US we have 220 voltes here in India so can I use it in India without any Votage converter thing?
According to the technical specifications of the apple tv it "has a universal power supply". I live in korea, but am a US citizen and my place has all US standard power so I can't really comment. However below is a link for your reference.

How can I remove my company’s iCloud Contacts account from a former employee's iPhone and have the current information removed from their iPhone at the same time as well? Will just changing the iCloud password be enough? Our company shares an iCloud account for convenience but when someone leaves we don't want the information to stay on their iPhone.
Changing the password would only block them from accessing the iCloud information. They would still have access to the local copy on thier phone. To delete the local information, you would need to go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, tap Delete Account, then choose Delete from My iPhone. (This only deletes the iCloud account and data from the phone, not from iCloud.) This, obviously, must be done during the exit process as it requires access to the phone.

I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
any suggestions on how to fix?Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

Apple, please mend this ASAP. Really stupid change since iOS 8.1
If you for some reason must have many different folder make sure that you put the newst photo in the last folder so one can easily find a photo when I don't want to copy all photos to, let' say, my friend computer. -

i was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back???? please
Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes. -
Why does my Ipad keep telling me that my security code is incorrect when i am trying to update the billing information?
It might be because the billing address you provided doesn't exactly match your bank records. It has to match your statement exactly. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.

How can i change from internet explorer to Mozilla firefox when entering adobe ID?
I ordered a photoshop element 13 licence. Everything went fine until I am asked to put my Adobe ID and password. My windows computer in combination with internext explorer cannot open the adobe internet side. When I am using Mozilla firefox I am able to log into www.adobe.com. Therefore I would like to ask if there is any chance to switch from internet explorer to mozilla firefox during login process?

If you can login on Adobe.com then clearly you are logged in on Adobe platform. If you want to login to use these forums then click this link and login in the usual way using Firefox browser:
<https://forums.adobe.com/welcome>
The sign in button is on the top right corner next to the search button.
Is this what you are asking? If not please clarify again. -
