I have just updated to OS X Mavericks, and it's wiped absolutely EVERYTHING including my apps and software, is there anyway I can retrieve this? *DESPERATE FOR HELP*
I've done updates before now and it hasn't wiped anything at all, some of the work is backed up but there was A LOT of pictures, uni work, current work on documents that has totally disappeared, also i can't find boot camp in order to see if there 's anything left on there, any help?
If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

I have just updated my plug in & add ons, but they are several that say to research. How do I know what plug ins are necessary for firefox to run properly. I really don't want a bunch of unnecessary downloads on my computer
None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.

Restore the iPhone from your backup.
See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it. -
Please help. I lost my i phone 4 and have now received my new SIM. My friend has kindly lent me her old i phone 3 until I get another phone. The problem is that I got a new laptop at Christmas and never connected my old phone to it before I lost it.
Ive downloaded i tunes onto the new laptop and connected the i phone 3 but all the info from my old phone is not there (numbers, music etc)
Is there anyway I can retrieve the info and transfer it to the i p hone 3?Look. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat yourself. The answer is the same. The only way you're going to find it is by getting up off your backside and looking for it. Why you're so concerned, I'm not sure. If you find it, you will just have to turn it (or the replacement) over to the insurance company. Unless it's your intent to commit fraud...

is there anyway one can retrieve music that one accidently deleted?. not just one song,but alot of song in my collection . I am really sick by this occurence, and I had no iclould backup. suffering a loss
Check from your recycle bin.
Usually when you delete a song from iTunes, a popup window will ask whether you want to move the file to recycle bin or keep the file. So it's either still in your PC or Recycle bin. -
Is there anyway I can retrieve photos on my lost/stolen iPhone that have NOT been set up with iCloud?
Have backed up your iPhone with iTunes to a computer? Then you can restore a replacement iPhone from this backup, and this with also restore the camera roll. The iTunes backups will contain the camera roll.

I have just updated my MBP 17 / retina display to Maverick OS. I am unable to shutdown or log off. When i press the shutdown button, a black screen appears which goes off on pressing any key. The shutdown or log off dialog does not appear. Your kind help is much appreciated.
The button response has changed.
Short press : sleep
Medium press (2-3 sec) : restart, shutdown, sleep dialog
Long press : force shutdown. (Same as before) -
Hi all I'm Currently recieving Nuisance Calls via a Blocked number is there anyway I can stop my Iphone accepting Blocked Numbers? Thanks
There is a way! I'm very happy to share this and hope it helps those who find themselves plagued, as I was.
I have been getting nuisance calls for months from some muppet, who hides his phone number before he calls at 3am. I need to keep my phone on, in case any of my immediate family have an emergency. I'm sure many have the same problem, just turning off the phone is not an option. I have been to two or three shops to ask the experts and none could offer me a solution. I was on the verge of tring to jailbreak my phone or even get rid of it to get an andriod one...That's how bad things had become.
Anyway, this is my solution, which I found by trawling through page after page on the internet, for ages and trying various other solutions first. I have an iPhone 4S and the operating system is 6.1.3 and I am in the UK, on Orange, or EE as we should now call it. I cannot promise it will help everyone, but it works for me.
Go to Settings, Do Not Disturb and switch this on. Underneath here, go to Notifications, then Do Not Disturb again. Then Scheduled and set the times you want the restrictions to start and end. For example, I use 7pm to 8am, so that I know I won't get nuisance calls during this period, but whatever times work for you. Underneath, it says Allow calls from and you can select your favourites. If you haven't saved any of your contacts as Favourites, do so, it's very easy. Just go to contacts, open one and underneath the number there is a button to Add to favourites. Repeat for all close friends and family you want to be able to reach you at any time. All your favourites should be allowed to call. I think you can have 50 numbers in the favourites. But any unknown caller should be simply sent to voicemail.
Apple have had some previous issues with the Do Not Disturb feature and to be honest this didnt work 100% of the time for me. If you find the same, don't give up. I suggest you do as I did at this point and use an app called Call Bliss, which seems to have cracked it. (I have NO connection to them and it's no skin off my nose if you use this app or not). There may be other apps that do the same, or even better for all I know. You have a free one day trial then it's £3 if you want to continue to use it. For me, £3 to solve the problem was money very well spent. If you need this app, download it, then do as suggested above to the point where it says Allow calls from and this time you select Bliss Exceptions. Follow the instructions in the app.
There are two modes, I use suppress mode, which allows all calls to get through except those from unknown callers and those specified by you. I believe the other mode blocks all calls, except those you specify. Please note, the app only works when the iPhone is locked. Your lock might come on after the phone is not used for 5 minutes or so, or you can lock the phone by single clicking the on/off button (not holding it down).
I hope this helps anyone as much as it has done me. -

I would just like to know if I can retrieve any of my old text messages? I have downloaded that Mr. Fone, but not really too computer savvy and just looking for direction.
I have no real faith in these alleged data recovery tools. If the text messages were deleted months ago and you were still using the device, the chances are slim, even if that program works.

my i phone 5 was smashed and i cannot back it up because i need to enter my passcode lock. is there a way i can retrieve all my info etc before i buy a new phone?
If in the US or UK, most Apple stores will replace your screen/digitizer for US $149. If that's all your phone needs, you should be OK. Call your local Apple store to confirm.
However, if you've synced while this passcode was enabled, you won't have to enter it when connecting to your iTunes. Otherwise, there is no way to do what you want, & your data will be unrecoverable. -
