I repaired my install of winXPpro and I think I lost all my FF saved passwords and login information. Can I find my info using a hdd undelete program? What filename do I look for?

Can I use an undelete program to recover my FireFox saved login and password information? What filename would I try to search for and where in the directory structure would I look?

You need two files for the passwords, key3.db and signons.sqlite (that file os for Firefox 3.5 and above), those 2 files must be kept together for passwords to work. Those files are stored in the profile folder, for details of how to find it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If those files did not exist and you ran Firefox, it would automatically create new copies. The [[username and password not remembered]] article may be of use to you as well.

Please I'll be thankfull.

I stated that I did try to do all of this when I first set up the new computer...I did do the Setup Assistant numerous times but my old computer kept freezing half way through. Even if I did it when I first got the new computer back in Septemeber, I would have had the same issue b/c my old computer has been 'broken' for a while. My old computer can't handle doing too much at once and I think the setup and then migration functions I tried were too much. That's why I was hoping I could use the migration function piecemeal. I wish I could just check off the exact files and folders I want vs. having to choose it at the 'user' level...that's too much for my old computer to have to transfer.

I installed the upgrade and now itunes can't find my library and doesn't recognize my devices. Using Windows 7. Any help?

Help!!! I installed the 10.5 update and now itunes can't find my library or recognize my devices. Running on Windows 7.

For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

I installed a new router from my ISP provider and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network. What do I need to do to correct this problem?

I installed a new (and supposedly better & stronger) router from my ISP provider (Verizon) and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network.
My Mac is not backing up because it can't find my Time Capsule network & my "Guest" network has also disappeared.
What do I need to do to correct this problem?

You must reset the TC to factory and start over. The TC simply remembers too much from the previous setup to work in the new one.
If your new router is going to take the router role, then the TC will have to be bridged and you will lose your Guest wireless.. the way around this is to use the Verizon router as your guest wireless and the TC as your main wireless.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

What filename is Bootcamp looking for when it searches for Windows installer?

I purchased a download file of Windows 7 Home Premium x64 which when downloaded has the filename X15-65733.iso. When opened it provides a diskimage called GRMCHPXFRER_EN_DVD on which are the files and folders for the Windows 7 installation:
autorun.inf
boot
bootmgr
bootmgr.efi
efi
setup.exe
sources
support
upgrade
However the Bootcamp Assistant does not recognize the X15-65733.iso or the GRMCHPXFRER_EN_DVD disk image as the Windows installer. Do I have to rename one of these to something that the Bootcamp Assistant is looking for?

I had to burn the file X15-65733.iso onto a CD in order for my iMac to find it. I had been trying to install from a flash drive (memmory stick)

I downloaded and installed an application and Now I can't find it.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) 10.10.2, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16MB, SSD.
I installed Epson Printer CD from the internet and installed it. It is not in my Applications, main or users, and I can't find it in a search. I tried to reinstall the application but the installer said "Print CD Software is already installed on your computer"
I used TinkerTool to show all the hidden files and no app found.
I tried Automator but I could not figure out how to find hidden apps.
I used the finer to find.
How can I find it?

Printer driver software is not an application. It will load when the computer is restarted or when you install the printer in Printing & Scanning preferences. Read the documentation for using the software.

How do I get Firefox on my Nook Tablet? I can't find "applications" in the tools as the Amazon download tells me to look for for a Kindle download. Somehow I managed to turn on Java but I can't even figure out how I found that anymore??

I'm not very tech savy and this Nook is new to me.

Hi,
I'm sorry you're having this problem.
See this post for the answer:

Unfortunately, you have to make some 'tech savvy' modifications in order to get Firefox on your Nook.

I got a iphone yesterday and today I was rearranging the icons and now I can't find my camera or safari icon

I got a iphone yesterday and today I was rearranging the icons and now I can't find my camera or safari icon any ideas what happen?

They can't be deleted so one of 3 things happened:
1) You moved them into folders or to different pages. Reset the home screen layout if you can't find them. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
2) You set up restrictions on them. Settings>General>restrictions.
3) You added an Exchange account for which the administrator has specifically prohibited the use of Internet browsers and cameras on phones.
The only thing you can do in case 3 is remove the Exchange account and appeal to your IT department to change the policy.

I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.

I installed my new Apple TV and successfully completed the configuration (Wireless network, Apple ID, and others) yet I am always in the Computers and Setting page- can't move to the main page – any idea on what and how, please?

Hello, I installed my new Apple TV and successfully completed the configuration (Wireless network, Apple ID, and others) yet I am always in the Computers and Setting page… can’t move to the main page – any idea on what and how, please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

I'd like to use the categories from my outlook contacts, i'm looking for recommended applications

i'd like to use the categories from my outlook contacts, i'm looking for recommended applications?

There is a third party I tried it. Didn't work for me because they wanted me to sync my contacts on their cloud. It doesn't work with USB Sync. But if you want to try it here:

Best would be if Apple adds the feature and supports the categories!!!

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 21.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will lose all personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item selected. Quit the Contacts application if it's running. Restore the selected item from a backup.
