I recently spilled liquid on my computer, but it is up and running, it loads and brings me to the safe boot screen where I need to type my password, but It is not recognizing it, help! How do I get passed it or fix it! I have tried holding the apple key and "s" and then type in the code to reset the password, but my keyboard is not letting me use the numbers or any keys that are accessed by holding shift! Please help me get passed this screen

Fluids and electronics do not mix.
You have caused some serious damage to parts of your computer, and likely voided the warranty until Apple completes a repair and re-certifies it.
Step one is to turn it off and do NOT (did I say do NOT yet?) turn it on again yourself.
Take it to an Apple store and be prepared for a large repair bill.
Sorry, but that is the truth.

Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

My ipod touch is connected to the computer but itunes is not recognizing it. I need help please. I've tried restarting both my ipod & the computer and also unistalling itunes and loading it again, nothing is working.

Assuming you have a PC, start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I downloaded an app to a computer that is synced to my iphone. So I copied the app to my ipad synced computer, but it does not recognized the app. How can I get the app onto my ipad library?

you should look in your applications folder to see if mail is still there. the dock icon is pointing to mail being in your applications folder. it has probably been moved or deleted for some reason from the app folder. do a spotlight search for your mail program. if it is still on your computer, move it back to the applications folder and when you click the question mark, it should see it is back and open. The email folder in your library shouldn't have to be touched. you need mail.app itself.

If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

800-692-7753
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

I have a mac with a 10.6.8 opperating system and I tired downloading mountain lion, but it will not let me. How do I get my mac to allow me to? I'm pretty sure you have to have 10.7, but I dont know how to download that either

Does your MacBook meet the minimum requirements for Mountain Lion?
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)

i want to buy an ipad 2 3G but i am not a US resident, how can i get to work on a local network NOT verizon or AT&T

From your screen name would it be safe to guess that you will be using it in Egypt? If your carrier uses is a GSM network you can do as Chris suggests.
From the Apple page http://www.apple.com/eg/buy/ there is a link to Arab Buisness Machine, they sell the iPad 2 and offer local support should any problems arise.

The large text size makes your post almost impossible to read.
Excessive use of bold or capitals (also) makes posts difficult to read.
You can drag most of the column headings left or right, or right-click on the header to turn columns on or off.
Once you've used File > Display Duplicates or Shift > File > Display Exact Duplicates you can use File > Display All or the Display All button at the bottom of the list to restore the display.

I just updated my iPhoto and now am asked to download the iPhoto Library Upgrader. I am asked for a password. I do not know it. How can I find it or reset it?

Name: O

I just updated my iPhoto and now am asked to download the iPhoto Library Upgrader. I am asked for a password. I do not know it. How can I find it or reset it?
Are you asked for the password, when you run the installer for iPhoto Library upgrader?
Then the installer is asking you for the password of your administrator account. You need to authorize the installation.

How do I change the password on the safe boot screen?

My computer was freezing so I shut it down. When I rebooted, the Safe Boot screen automatically came up and is assking for a password. I used my password but it is not letting me in. Can I reboot the password without access to the computer? I can't use the reinstall drive as I cannot get in. Thanks!

Mifi4620L Manual
http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/vzw_mifi_4620_jetpack/4620_manual.pdf
There are two passwords: the Admin Password (page 25) and the Wi-Fi Password (page 28). Most always when a user asks this question it is the Wi-Fi Password they are talking about. The Admin Password is fairly easy to change, the Wi-Fi Password not so much. You have to navigate to the Web User Interface at http://192.168.1.1 and login using the Admin Password. Then navigate to the Wi-Fi tab > Wifi Profile > Wi-Fi Password.
If you’re changing the Wi-Fi Password, change the Network Name (SSID) as well. This will cause a new wireless network to appear. As soon as you change these in the Jetpack and hit Save you lose network connectivity with the Jetpack—be sure you’re ready it! Otherwise you might have to RESET the Jetpack to regain control of it. After you change the Wi-Fi Password in the Jetpack and give it time to reboot, connect to your new wireless network (SSID), and input the new Wi-Fi Password when prompted. You’ll find using Windows COPY (Ctrl C) and PASTE (Ctrl V) makes it easier to input a new password. After you get one computer or phone working on the new network, get the other devices working.
If you have a wireless printer it is best to change the SSID and Wi-Fi Password in the wireless printer before you change it in the Jetpack, because you will not be able to access a wireless printer that uses your old network credentials after you change the SSID and Wi-Fi Password in the Jetpack. You can always reinstall the printer’s software to get it working again.
You can get a randomly generated high entropy password from here. Your Jetpack does not support 64 character Wi-Fi Passwords, so look at 63 characters. You don’t need 63 characters, these can be truncated to 30 characters to approach maximum entropy and even hold up for over 1,000 years on 1,000 computers at 20 characters–the important thing is the randomness of the password.
