Hello,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app. I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind. I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.

I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app. I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind. I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far. I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library. I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it. Please help!

Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.

You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud. The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

I have tried everything I know so please help I am trying to get the game progress in my iphone apps to my ipad "3" every time i sync, i get the apps but not the progress in the games

Two ways:
- Restore the iPad from the backup of the iPhone. Make sure all the apps are in the iTunes library.
- See:

You have a 1st generation iPod Touch.
It can be updated to 3.1.3 by purchase. See here Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

How to interact with google search engine using java HTTP POST

I am trying to develop an desktop app that acts as an online radio tuner. I want to use google as an index site for actually searching for radio stations online. So I was wandering if it is possible for me to use java to actually interface with the google search engine servers. For example, I have built a gui that allows you to enter search text. This gui will connect to the web. I would like it to connect to the Google site and post the query to the google web servers. Then i would like to began to parse the response( html page) that i get back from the google servers. Like using google without actually typing in the text field on the google site. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do this with java. If so, what would be the best way to go about doing this. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. It was actually alot easier to do than I anticipated. All I had to do was create a URL object initialized with the google url(search text embedded in the url - http://www.google.com/search?q=" + searchText + "&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8).
Looks like this:
String google = http://www.google.com/search?q=" + searchText + "&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF8;
URL url = new URL(google); // creating Google Url object
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
       connection.setDoOutput(true);
       connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)" ); // fooling google servers into thinking the request is coming from a real browser
       BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));The content returned by the google server can be accessed calling the BufferedReader class methods.

How do I get rid of genii as my search engine

how do I get rid of genii as my search engine

You installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
In the Applications folder, there should be an item named "Genieo". Select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that the Version is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
Step 2
Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you couldn't complete Step 1, stop here and ask for instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.

I have tried everything I've run across for "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."

I had to fully erase all Mozilla/Firefox files from my Mac (OS X), including my profile (I backed up the bookmarks first). I had to as there were issues pointing to erasing it completely as a last step.
I have a two-fold issue.
One is that I kept deleting all found files because, even with my user profile eradicated, it still filled in bookmarks and forms, even with cookies cleared, history blown away and the proper boxes unchecked. Rebooting my computer did not provide any fixes, either.
Upon one more install, I started begging the error in the title of this post.
I cannot find any Firefox/Mozilla processes running. I cannot find a .parentlock file.
I have tried all the suggestions in these places:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/672361?as=aaq]
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/904422?as=aaq]
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/666513?as=aaq]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Remove_the_profile_lock_file]
None of these suggestions provided a solution. I tried looking for them several times.
Today has, overall, been a technological nightmare in many ways.
Please assist.
Thank you,
Heather

How did you remove the Firefox profile folder(s)?
Did you remove the profiles.ini file as well?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You need to remove the profiles.ini as well to force Firefox to create a new default profile folder.

I somehow managed to delete the app store tab on my homepage and now I cannot download any apps. Anyone know how I can get that back? Thanks

Hi. I somehow managed to delete the app store tab on my iphone homepage. Anyone know how I can get that back? I just got this and now I can't download any apps! Thanks!

You cannot delete that icon. More than likely it's just been moved to another page. You can use Spotlight to search for it if necessary.

I use the apostropy key and up pops. Quick find (links only) I have tried everything, please help!!!

I have tried everything, nothing seems to work, I just updated to the most recent version hopping that the developers had attended to this issue. I have tried the about:config and made a true\false to shut off all quick search functionality but it doesn't work. Nothing seems to get the (') key to stop bringing up the search box....
It does it sporadically, how can I shut off ALL hot key\combination key quick launches?

See searchhotkeys: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/index-en.html#searchkeys

I loaded a jZip programme, now whenever I start Firefox it open with the jZip search page and I can't permanently change the home page to my own selection. How can I get rid of theis iZip home page

I have tried all the optons to change the home page, but when I exit from Firefox and restart, it will revert to the iZip search engine home page. I even deleted the izip search engine reference from the searchplugin directory but with no success

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for jzip via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all jzip related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Firefox properly goes to my set home pages; how do I get it to use my preferred SEARCH ENGINE (without having to be able to PROGRAM)?

I want to choose the search engine; Firefox goes to Google. My home pages are properly set. The only solution offered to this question earlier would have you go to Web Developer and instantly was WAY over my head. How can an ordinary person change this? Thank you.
