I'm trying to find a single missing picture on TC. But afraid to restore because I don't want to lose current photos. Help please!

I'm missing a really important picture that I hope was backed up on Time Capsule. I'd like to view the pictures. But I'm afraid if I reinstall, that all the pictures that I've added since will disappear. Is that a correct assumption? I really just want to view it to see if the missing pic is there. "Thanks!

We need more information here to be able to determine how to answer your question correctly.
Are you asking about Time Machine backups that you have made on the Time Capsule?
Are you asking about iPhoto or Aperture....or....another application?
Depending on your information, you may get a faster and more informed response if you post in the support forums for iPhoto or Aperture, but in general, if you are restoring an image library from Time Machine backups......you have an option when you restore the "old" library to keep the current library as well......so for a time, you will have two image libraries.
When you have found the image that you want from the "old" library and you no longer need it, you can delete the "old" library.

Hello ashlyn888,
Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

HT201302 I am trying to clear space on our iPad. If I delete photos and videos on the iPad, will they remain saved on our iCloud account? Need the space, don't want to lose the photos!

They will be backed up only until you backup again. iCloud is not a storage drive in the sky, it is a backup service only. If you delete the photos and videos from the camera roll, and then you backup the iPad with iCloud, you will overwrite that backup and the photos will be gone.
Import the photos to your computer if they are that important to you. iCloud is for backup only, not a storage place that you can download your photos from again once you overwrite that backup.

You can only sync an ipad to one computer at a time.
You can look to something like dropbox, upload your photos there, then do the sync and since your photos are backed up it won't hurt if they are deleted.

HT4097 when i turned on my ipad it has the itunes logo on it. It says it is in recovery mode and that i have to restore it. I dont want to lose my photos I have stored on it. I tried the suggestions from above but nothing works. What can I do

When I turned on my ipad the itunes logo is on it. I cant get to my home screen. I plugged it to my computer and went to the itunes and it states that the ipad is in recovery mode and that I have to do a restore. I have some important photos on it that I dont want to lose. Is there a way I can restore it without losing the photos. I tried the suggestions on this site but it dont work. My last resort is to restore it if I have to. Also, when Im on the itunes site it does say that i can update on March 15th Can anyone help? Thanks

Then you can select that backup to restore from if you want. If it is an old backup - then you will be restoring the iPad to the condition that it was on that date. You mentioned March 15 in your first post. If your only backup is from last year, then you will lose all of the photos that you have taken since then.
When you post back, include details ...not just a one sentence statement. Its difficult to ascertain exactly what you are experiencing without specific details.

You have already lost it at this stage
but you have a backup of course

HT4910 i forgot the password on my iPad; I have it backed up on my Mac, so I saw that I just should back up from iTunes. I tried to do that, but it says to first turn off "Find my iPad", which obviously I cannot do because I don't have my password!! Help

I am running Lion 10.7.2 and I have an external drive hooked to my time machine. I can't rename folders and when trying, I get an error code 8076. The checkbox "ignore permissions for this device" does not show on volume info. Help please???

The TIme Machine volume does not have that checkbox.
I think the issue is with your Finder...
Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Every morning when I awaken my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later.

Every morning when I "awaken" my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed on it's own. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later. I checked system preferences and everything seems to be checked appropriately as well as for Safari's preferences.
I am not sure what's going on, because Safari only just recently started doing this and I haven't downloaded anything, nothing out of my regular computer routine. As well, I upgraded to Mavericks when it came out and I have the last version of it too. I can't imagine that Safari would close simply because I don't have or want to upgrade to Yosemite. I am holding off on the upgrade for a bit, because I heard Final Cut Pro 7 can't be run on Yosemite. While I could partition my drive, I really don't want to. Mavericks is fine for right now : )
Okay sooooo...back to Safari...what the! Please help and thanks for any replies ahead of time!
I Hope All Is Well In Your World : )

There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

My uncle has died and we are trying to access his iPad but don't know his code so the iPad is disabled. Can we unlock it without resetting the device as we don't know if he's backed it up our not and don't want to lose whatever he has on there?

My uncle passed away recently and we are trying to access his iPad but don't know his code so the iPad is disabled. Can we unlock it without having to reset it as we don't know if he's backed anything up and we don't want to lose whatever is on there... thanks in advance.

About all you can do is take the device to an Apple Store along with the death certificate and explain the situation...if someone can do something, it would be them.

Are you choosing a different plan before tapping Done?
To downgrade, you should be doing the following:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap Change Storage Plan.
Tap Downgrade Options and enter your Apple ID password.
Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
Tap Done.
