I am totally new to the whole mac thing and have just bought my first iMac, second hand, 27" late 2009 model, I have been trying to change everything from the previous users names to mine when I got stuck trying to change the home folder name...

I tried everything to change it but nothing would work, I seen a tutorial online on how to do it using terminal, suso, I didn't really know what I was doing but I gave it a go, entered the existing name and then entered my name, I then confirmed with password, everything seemed fine, I restarted my computer and when I booted up I had lost everything, all the apps had gone, mail, files, everything?! This mac had the full adobe 6 suite on and I'm really gutted, I had also transfer loads of things over from my pc, which are no longer there!! Is there any way to get this back? Like on a pc, running the pc from a week ago? Any help would be much appreciated as I don't really know what I'm doing, thanks

It appears that you really screwed things up. If the machine had CS 6 on it, the seller should have provided the discs and registration info. Since that machine shipped with Snow Leopard, you should start from scratch. Boot with disc one, launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select the HD, erase and reformat it, then select zero out data from the security options. Once the HD is wiped clean, quit Disk Utility, and select install the operating system. Once installed and it reboots, personalize the machine to suit your needs. Once up an running, see these:

I had to do a recovery on my computer. How can I put my music from my ipod's on my computer itunes library without having to do the whole CD thing?

What, no backup. Download Yamipod on your computer?

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768. Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad.
Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU

Thanks for your reply via email/msg. He wrote:
If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:
Xeon 4 core - E5.1620v2
Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod

I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod, neither of which is what I want to do. How do I get it to shuffle songs in just one playlist?

The shuffle setting in the main menu will shuffle through the entire library as you have found out.
You need to go to settings>shuffle this will toggle through off/song/album. Once you have set this it will stay the same until you change the setting.
Now when you start playing a song in a playlist the iPod will shuffle through that playlist (or if you select your song through artist then it will shuffle through all the songs for that artist etc)

I have just became an Apple Developer and new to this whole developing thing.

I have just became an Apple Developer and new to this whole developing thing. I became an apple developer to support what I'm doing.I just graduated high school and became a self learning video producer. I created videos since I first got into high school and that was my major. I'm planning on making a podcast channel. What I'm really asking is, how do I create an app for my website for older version iOS device (at least iOS 3 or iOS 4)???

Use recovery mode, you might need to do it a few times.

Tried the whole syncing thing with my iphone it still didnt remove song from phone

tried syncing still wont remove song

What does the "whole syncing thing" mean exactly?
This song was transferred from your iTunes library on your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which means having Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences wtih iTunes?
If so, do you have entire music library selected, or selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres selected?
Do you have sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

Time to take it to Apple and pay for an out of warranty replacement.

Stressed about the whole connection thing

I have just bought a new 1 gig nano, first gen
My iPod will not be recognized by "my computer" or iTunes, it is usually recognized in "safely remove hardware". when the iPod is connected it constantly displays "do not disconnect", I can't restore it since iTunes won't open and the service updater thing won't acknowlegde that the iPod is connected. it seems like when my iPod is connected it corrupts anything that tries to recognize it
I have been looking through the forums and help topics but there are so many, and none seem to match my problem.
thanks for any help

yah, mines a 4 gig ipod nano that i bought in june, and its doing the exact same thing. ive connected it to several computers with itunes, and evertime i still get the do not dissconnect thing with no recognition in itunes. i sent it to apple, and they sent it back saying theres nothing wrong with it, now im out 200 dollars from a worthless ipod nano, and another 30 for their ******** shipping fee. thanks apple.

Your phone was jailbroken. You can not get help here.

Is there any way I can get rid of the noise my iPod makes when I plug it in to charge without turning the volume of the whole IPod (4th Generation) down?

I have a 4th generation IPod touch. Today I downloaded the new iOS 6.0.1 and I have a question. Is there any way I can get rid of the noise when I plug it in to charge? I had it set that way before, and I can't seem to figure out how I did it. I found when I turned down the over all volume it gets rid of it, but I don't want to change the over all volume. Thanks so much for you help and Happy Holidays.

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
