I have a MB (10.6.8) and I cant get my 4Gs(iOS7) to tether. Why?
I have updated all software and it stopped working. I've never had an issue before. Can anyone help?
The computer may need to look to see if there are any system update
downloads available to it, now you have a later iOS to attempt to sync
with in the peripherial devices; the OS X may be marginalized now as
that is older. Your device may need to see at least Lion OS X 10.7.5.
But I am not certain about this aspect of why you can't sync them.
Your computer may need to be running a newer OS X system version
in order to connect with the later iOS7 in your other device(s) and as
such, that updated iPhone or iPad, etc would not be able to interface
with the older OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 anymore.
While I wasn't sure where to look, there undoubtably is a page where
System Requirements for use of Mac OS X (to connect with) iOS7 exist.
{And I did look awhile in Apple Support; but didn't try a google search.}
There is a fairly OK support site for the iPhone. Didn't see the minimum
system spec for OS X to interface or sync with iOS7 devices so far.
•Apple - Support - iPhone:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/
You may be able to check the specs of the MacBook to see if it can use
a newer system than Snow Leopard; however if it is an early MacBook
it may balk at Mavericks 10.9.2, or not really like it at all. And expect an
older MacBook to be not a great candidate. A MacBook5.1 or later may
be able to do OK with Mavericks, if given a RAM upgrade, too.
A marginal condition may exist if you can upgrade to Lion, but I do not
know if iOS7 could see or sync with Mac OS X 10.7.5 in your MacBook.
Or how long that may be expected to work, if it could right now. Lion was
said to be a purchase from the Mac App Store; check into details, though.
PS: one item you could try, if the System Specs match & your iPhone iOS 7
should still be in sync with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, is to get and reinstall the
Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Combo Update v1.1 on top of the existing OS X.
Hopefully you can get it to work.
Good luck & happy computing!

I tried downloading a free app and it asked for my billing information and when I entered it, it said that there was a billing problem with a previous purchase and I have to update it. I keep updating it and it wont let me verify it and I cant get any apps even if they are free, and I just Deleted some apps to make room for my new upate!
The message says: "The payment method has been denied, try another method"
I'm living in the same country and city since I was born, so I don't think the location is the problem.

When I close Firefox and then come back to it later a box comes up that says it's already running. It says to close Firefox first but when I hit close nothing happens and the box comes up again. I have to shut down my computer and restart to get into Firefox again. If I can't get this fixed I will start using someone else. Someone told me a way to close Firefox but I forgot what they said.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a couple of months agoHello Brian.
You don't need to restart your computer to open Firefox again: you just need to close it manually through your application manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC in Processes tab). Anyway, hopefully this support article is what you need:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs
What's probably happening is that you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author. -
How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.
Hey susanneyes,
Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
Hopefully this helps! -

I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?
Hello there, kiwilucea.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some in-depth steps for troubleshooting your issue:
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
Keep in mind if you get to Step 12 Reinstall iTunes, those steps need to be followed exactly as outlined for the reinstall to be effective.

Hi guys...I have just got a new computer and want to get my library back up and running on it. However I seem to be missing some of my iTunes music purchases. Any ideas on how to get them back? They show up on my ipad but not my actual itunes account.
Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this? Other people I work with and use macs have the same issue.
If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I had my hard drive replaced and I cant get my email to work on the new hard drive. I have the ! in the triangle next to the inbox. I tried "take all accounts online" and it ddidnt work. The email account is working on my iphone and ipad, and my macBook is connected to the internet.
Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance. All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

Well .... there's zero useful information there. Absent any other information, I guess I could say go to Settings and turn Cellular ON.
Seriously, try writing things more like this:
I don't understand what you're saying. Please try the following if you'd like to save yourself and others a lot of time:
Describe what you are trying to do
Describe how you are trying to do it, in as much detail as you can.
Describe what you expect to see or have happen when you do it that way
Describe what you see or what happens instead of what you expected; include any error messages that appear.
Provide some idea of what you have already looked at or already tried doing to fix the problem, along with the results of those attempts.
