Sounds like you synced your new phone to his backup, not yours. Reset the phone and try again. Or maybe Restore will let you resync it, I'm not going to try it on my phone to find out.

I am trying to upload pictures to website, but get an error message saying that server redirection is not suppoerted. What is this, and why does it happen? I've never had this problem before and it started after Firefox update yesterday.

Trying to upload pictures to a website, but it doesn't work. After going thru the whole process, I get a message saying; the server attempted to redirect you. Server redirection is not supported. This only happened after I updated Firefox. Never had this problem before.

I turned on my 2011 IMac and the fan is running very loud. What is the problem?

Please help me figure out why my fan is running so loud after turning it on tonight. I have shut it down and turned it on again and rebooted it and it is very loud.
Thank you.

timfrombrisbane and ScuseMe are right.
Apple engineers say, that to reset SMC, you follow the procedure outlined in KBase Article HT1379.
How much you've posted to the forums is irrelevant rkaufmann87. You're not one of the engineers who created the product. The engineers who created the product, say to follow the steps outlined in that article HT1379.
The procedure you listed is incorrect and will not work to reset SMC on an iMac. Read the article. It's there in black and white, with very clear steps. As the article states, you have to unplug the power cable from the back of the machine, wait 15 seconds, plug it back in, then wait 5 seconds before turning it on. The article says nothing about holding the power button for 5 seconds.
People come in here, for computer science advice. I cited my source, for this scientific procedure. My source, is an article from the computer scientists who created the iMac product. I'm also an Apple certified repair technician - so I listen to what the Apple engineers say.
Can you cite your *official* source for your incorrect procedure? Didn't think so.

Help just switched on my computer and the fan is so loud .......any answerrs

Sometimes a SMC reset will fix the issue.

All of a sudden, when I'm cropping an image in Photoshop CS6, I get a spiral curl inside the image while I'm resizing it. I've never had this before and it's a bit annoying. How do I get rid of it?

I've been using Photoshop CS6 for a few years and have done tons of cropping but never before have I had this spiral curl inside the image. How do I get rid of it and get back to the normal resizing/cropping of an image?

Verify your settings in the options bar.

My macbook air's fan is making a loud noise

i have had my macbook air for about 4 months and now the fan around the f1 f2 keys is relly loud it started today and its relly loud help

Yes, thats plate or screw pop, check the bottom for a loose screw.
If not then normal, its the alloy plate flexing under torque from grabbing it at one end and the weight causing the plate to pop just a bit

Im importing cds onto my itunes but they are coming up with no track names/artists etc, itunes is saying i have no internet connnection but im on my laptop and im online, can anyone help? ive never had this issues before? they are legit cds from HMV?

Im trying to import cds i got for xmas onto my itunes and they arecoming up with no artist/album cover or track names, when i click get track info it says i have not internet connection, but im on my windows laptop and can get on the internet, is there something i need to so in itunes tmake it rcognise the album details?

Hey there lollypops21,
It sounds like you are connected to the internet otherwise, but iTunes is giving you this error message when trying to get info from the Gracenote database to retrieve your album info. I had a couple of articles I wanted to recommend you try. First this one named:
iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1490
You can always enter in the album information manually with this article if needed:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
Customize song and CD info
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track Number fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. For more information, visit the Gracenote website.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Hey mcooper156,
I would try the troubleshooting steps in this first article:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I would try and remove iTunes (and its related software) then reinstall:

Have just installed the latest Firefox update (4.01) and since doing so some Face book games such as Zooma are slow and have a drag effect...I never had this problem with 3.6...any suggestions welcome

This problem has only occured since installing 4.01 today so I don not think my system is at fault

Well, that's pretty made my decision final. I'm ditching firefox for good. The only reason I was willing to use it at all, was because of Ad block. I already tried uninstalling, disabling add ons, like I mentioned previously. The whole proceeding with Firefox safe mode thing sounds like way too much trouble than it's worth. Since I already have Safari Browser, that came with my Macbook, and I need Chrome Browser for using Blogger, I'm uninstalling Firefox and I'll just use those two. Chrome Browser annoys me enough of the time that I don't want to use it as my primary browser. Safari is fairly good though, especially if I only use it occasionally, that means if runs very quickly. Thanks for the advice. It's too bad. When I started using Firefox about 4 years ago, I loved it. Now it drives me absolutely crazy. I'll just start gathering all my passwords that are stored in Firefox and then uninstall it.

I used to have FF and then I had to reformat. Downloaded file but when it goes to extract, I get Local\temp\7zS6f17.tmp\setup.exe. The directory name is not valid. I've never had this before. Suggestions? ps: can't use firefox because of this =(

This reformat is doing my head in. I hate using IE and was really looking forward to getting back onto FF.
All I did was download the application, try to run it but when it comes to the extraction, a pop up box comes up with the info I've put up there.
Any suggestions that gets me off stupid IE would be appreciated.

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.
