I have an encrypted back up and can't remember the password. I can't back up to icloud either (maybe because of that). How do I get a backup I can use?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

The mall grid button in the upper-right corner of the page that toggles the images on and off in a new tab is missing how do I get it back?

I had a problem with some malware/adware by the time I got it removed it had altered much of Firefox.
I have managed to correct everything apart from the thumb nails of frequently used sites on a new tab. I know there should be a 3 x 3 grid in the top right corner but it doesn't show. How do I get it back, please?

You can reset the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> via the right-click context menu to the default value (about:newtab) to get the new tab page with the thumbnails.

HT201272 I have a 2nd gen ipod touch and had to restore it from back up. When I did that, I lost a lot of apps that I had previously purchased and now they will not re-install. How do I get the apps to install on the ipod now?

Please help Obi Wan, you're my only hope.

So you are saying that you purchased it by:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Is iTunes signed into the same iTunes account that purchased it?
How long ago did you purchase it?
Did you purchase it on another computer?

You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:

I have my iPhone 4s backed up on my mac but it seems it was encrypted with a password which i do not remember is there any other option to retrieve to the backup without restoring the device as a new one. Also I do not have access to a windows system.

If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock your iPad then there are instructions on this page for how to reset the iPad (your iPad doesn't need to be connected to the internet) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If your computer's iTunes isnt recognising the iPad when you connect it then have you got a recent version of iTunes installed on your computer ? There are also troubleshooting pages for a device not showing in iTunes on these pages :

If someone has wiped my ipad and changed passwords on icloud how do i get my data back

if someone has wiped my ipad and changed passwords on icloud how do i get my data back? please could someone help me out thanks

How did they wipe it? By using Find My iPad and performing a wipe? If so, that means they have your icloud ID and password, not a good thing.
You could try connecting it to iTunes and performing a restore from iCloud. But if they changed password, then you are out of the loop. How did they get your password in order to change it?

HELP! I shut down my macbook pro and now after applications have been in full screen mode for awhile they automatically minimize and it takes me back to the desktop. How do I fix this?

I shut down my macbook and now while applications such as safari have been open for awhile, even while active, will automatically minimize and it take me back to the desktop. How do I fix this?

I should add that this has happened before and I feel like it was a quick un-toggling of a box in my settings, but I can not remember what to do.

Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.

Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

You do not have to call US, but you need to call. Or else.
