I have just recently lost use of 2 USB ports and my isight camera. I have an isight G5 imac that has been working great. I have rebooted, reloaded my OS, and tried PRAM reset. I can use my keyboard, but not other peripherals. Any ideas on diagnostics?

I have just recently lost use of 2 USB ports and my isight camera. My keyboard works fine, but there is not any indication of connections when probing USB in "About this MAC". I have rebooted, executed a PRAM reset, and reloaded my OS, but to no avail I am out 2 of my 3 USB ports. I don't know how to diagnose the issue. Any ideas?

Well, if you've tried different USB cords and devices and have reset your PRAM:

And SMC:

I'd say your USB ports are shot - since they are an integral part of the logic board, replacing it will most likely be expensive. I'd still go for a definitive diagnosis at the Genius Bar.

I deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?

i deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?

PhotoBooth is not on the iLife disk which has iMovie and Garage Band. PhotoBooth is integrated into OSX, so it's not going to be easy to get back. You'll need to get it from the recovery disk or partition. Which OSX are you using so we can point you in the right direction. NEVER delete any of the OSX programs.

My macbook(2008) has been working well until a few hours ago. I tried plugging it in to several outlets but the light stays green no matter what, It will not charge. Also it will not stay on or turn on if I unplug it from the outlet, anyone have any idea

My macbook(2008) has been working well until a few hours ago. I tried plugging it in to several outlets but the light stays green no matter what, It will not charge on any outlet. Also it will not start when it is unplugged when my battery is at 50%. It also will shut down immediately if I unplug it from the charger, even though it says it isnt being charged by it. Can anyone help with this problem?

So you have the 13" aluminum notebook that just says "MacBook" on the display, correct?
You can get a new battery for $100 from Other World Computing here.
Alternatively, you can get one through Apple for $130 here.
I personally would go through OWC - they're a highly-recommended third party for these kinds of parts and their batteries work just as well as Apple's.

My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it.

My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it. Internet recovery asks for his Apple ID and password. He has no idea. I have an Apple ID but have never bought anything through the iTunes store so it won't accept my Apple ID. I don't know if his computer is under warranty. He does not remember if he has Applecare. I tried reinstalling Leopard -- the computer originally came with Leopard -- but the computer screen goes grey and a message comes up saying I need to restart. He wants to give this computer to me since it's useless to him. What do I do to get a system on it again?

You will need to reformat the hard drive to go back to Snow Leopard or Leopard.
Does he have a Snow Leopard Disk? He should, as there is no way to go from Leopard to Mountain Lion without it. If you can find the Snow Leopard Disk, I'd at least start with that.
You will need to use Disk Utility in the installer to format the hard drive and get rid of the recovery partition.
Boot from the installer disk by holding down the C key on restart. When it boots, Open Disk Utility (Utilities menu, at least in Snow Leopard).
Select the Hard drive and then click the Partition tab.
Select 1 Partition from the partition menu.
Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format.
Name the drive (Macintosh HD is the standard).
Click Apply to partition the drive.
When it is done, quit Disk Utility and install the OS.

I have a iPhone 4s, which has been working fine until now. Charge phone overnight and within 2 hours dead. Put it on charger and shows charging but that's it. Battery not showing any charge.

I have a IPhone 4s, which has been working great until now. Don't know if has any thing to do with the latest updates. Charged it over night and then two hours later it was dead. Didn't even used it. Placed on charger and the charging icon shows but battery not.

Hello, M_Bilal
Welcome to the HP Forums.
That you for provided such a detailed post with what you've already completed, for the issue with your battery. I will try to guide you further.
I would like to provide you further documents for troubleshooting, but you've essentially completed what I have for this issue. The only step left, would be to test the battery.
You can do this with another battery, or in another notebook. I know you mention another machine, but if you know someone who does or someone who has a compatible battery. This would test that. You could even see if a local computer shop could test it.
The reason for this, is if the battery is the problem, it's much easier and more affordable replacement. Also, you mention it being new, might have warranty.
The other possible cause to the issue you've touched on, that would be the system board. Testing the above, would just confirm if this is the problem or not. From there you could decide on what you'd like to do.
I know, there really aren't many suggestions here, but I hope this can provide you with the next step.
Let me know how things go, with the route you choose to troubleshoot.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Hi Karen,
The means that iTunes can no longer locate the songs (mp3/m4a) on the hard-drive and as such they won't even play in iTunes, let alone transfer to your iPod.
Have you recently re-organised your music folders? If you know where these songs are on your hard-drive then you could clear all of the tracks that display the symbol from iTunes and then add them again from their location either through the 'add folders to library' function or by dragging and dropping them diectly into iTunes from Windows Explorer.

I have a ipod touch 3rd gen that has been working fine until a week ago. I usually charge it using a power adapter in the house or using a car power adaptor. All of a sudden neither will charge my ipod. It does charge is I connect to computer.

I have tried different cords. Other Ipods charge fine. I have rebooted the Ipod. I don't know what else to do.

Hi,
Try resetting your iPod: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430.
If that doesn't work, try restoring it: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.
If all else fails, you will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
Hope this helps!

Can edit home page but not other pages of website. Can anyone help?

I've just installed Contribute CS5 and tried some editing of my website. I found that I can only edit the home page. When I go to the other pages the draft that is created doesn't show my images and I also can't get into the page to do anything. On top of the draft page there is something like a small logo with the letters "php" and the curser stays there. Does anyone know why that is and what I can do to make it work? And if yes, can you explain it to me as if I was 3 years old, please. Thank you.

It is pretty easy but it should be considered more of a content management system rather than a basic web editor (even though that's what it does). For example, we have 25 content posters that use Contribute. They know basically nothing about building websites so we use Contribute so that they can do limited things on the site. But it still takes us using a different tool in the background to keep the site up and running.
The unfortunate news is, unless you know PHP language, your site will be a bear to work on. It's a scripting language so, much harder than HTML.
Your site really wouldn't be to hard to rebuild in HTML if you have some experience with building websites from scratch. If you know HTML, you can use one of many low-cost HTML editors out there. If not, you'll need to use a tool like Dreamweaver but even then, it helps to know HTML in case something goes wrong and you have to dig in and find the problem.
Your other option would be to hire someone to build a new site for you. This time, let them know you will be using Adobe Contribute to work on the site so that they can put it together properly.
Not sure why it was built in PHP to begin with.
Good luck.

I lost my iphone (4). I ended up buying a new 4S. NOW my original iphone has been found. I had had the 4 disabled and it can only be utilized now for emergency calls. How do I backup my original phone and get all the contacts?

I lost my iphone and had to replace it. All my contacts were on my original iphone which wasa a version 4.
I had to replace the phone and now have a 4S. I had never backed up my original phone. How do I download all my contacts to icloud etc so I can upload to my new 4S?
Right now the original phone is "disabled" and it tells me I have to enter my 4 digit pin. It also says the only calls I can make are for assistance...
Once I have downloaded my contacts from original phone to icloud???...how do I sink my new 4 S.
Also, I have a new ipad and it has 3 G. I have lots of data in my ipone plan and don't need more. How do I "share" the data plan between my iphone and ipad? How do I keep the data backed up that is on both iphone and ipad.

In Regards to this, You possibly wont be able to get the contacts from the iPhone 4 unless there is a back up file on your computer.
The original phone would be disabled due to alot of attempts of the wrong passcode. If all your contacts are on the cloud at the moment, you would be able to just set the iPhone 4S up with iCloud on it then Turn On "Contacts".
This would be bring all the contacts down from your iCloud onto your 4S.
But you will only be able to merge your contacts with the cloud when your original iPhone either has been enabled or the passcode was entered.
If you have previously already had iCloud on that device and have contacts Turned on, you will be able to just enter the same Apple ID you used for iCLoud on your original phone and use it on your new one.
Your able to check what content your iCloud holds via www.icloud.com
If you are unable to get past the disabled screen, then unfortunately the device will have to be put into recovery mode and then restored via iTunes NOTE: This will delete all data.

My powerbook g4 (about 6 years old) has just started freezing up--mostly when in Apple Mail, but not always. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom wants you to run Disk Utility from the install disc and then select your boot volume and then click "Repair Disk" to check and correct any directory problems. That will not erase any data files on the disc. If Disk Utility actually makes repairs, do another "Repair Disk" operation, as sometimes one repair will uncover another error. Stop when it gives the volume a clean bill of health without making any repairs. Then restart the machine and see how things work.
