I use Winamp and now the latest Firefox, is there any reason why I should not uninstal Internet explorer and windows media player, please advise.

OS WinXP Home, service pack 3

If I may, I see that you are using xp, but since its support is finished, for security reasons I advise you to go under windows 7 (if your pc allows).
Well, I say that, but it's up to you :)
It's the apprentice technician that is talking lol ;)

Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
8. Reinstall OS X.

My iphone is not recognised on either my computer (windows 7) or in the latest itunes that i downloaded. It was recognised for a short time but windows media player asked to open my pictures and i clicked ok. I also started downloading the newest software

My iphone 3gs is not recognised in either windows 7 or in the latest itunes. It was briefly but then Windows asked me if I wanted to open the camera with Windows media player and I clicked ok. I also tried to download the new software for the phone. Now nothing works. I also downloaded a programme which you supposedly need for iphone with windows 7
Any help please

The ONLY program you need for an iPhone on Windows 7 is iTunes. Remove whatever the other program is, then remove and re-install iTunes as diesel vdub recommends.

Dropped my phone in water and now the camera doesn't work, any ideas why its' the only thing not working

I somehow knocked my iphone 4s in the sink of water and everything seems to work except the camera. Is there a way to reinstall the software or does anyone know what I can do other than using phone protection insurance? All my pictures are there and they upload and share but just can't get the camera to take pictures.

The device is damage, it was dropped in water. You are lucky that the device works at all.

Is there any reason why my ipad has 2 bars lte and my iphone 5 cannot keep lte in the same room?

I purchased my iphone 5 on release day and I purchased my ipad 3rd gen back about a year ago. Both are on verizon service. And both struggled at keeping an lte signal when i'm at work. I work in a metal roof building and I assumed that this was the issue. After several months I cancelled my service on the ipad. Last week I decided to reactivate the ipad. For some reason they decided to replace my sim card and gave me a new "phone number". When I carried it to work, i've had 2 bars lte coverage constantly. My iphone is still fluctuating from 3g to lte all the time. Most of the time it is stuck on 3g.
Is it possible that replacing the lte sim card in the ipad helped it get a better signal? It doesn't really make any sense to me. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

Of course there is a way around it. You can select exactly the content that you want to have sync to your devoces in iTunes.
My first suggestions is to turn off that stupid (IMO) feature that Apple insists on making default - auto syncing. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from Syncing Automatically. Click OK.
Connect your device to the computer and now you will have to launch iTunes on your own. Select your iPad under the devices tab in the upper right corner or enable the sidebar by going to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu. Once you click on the iPad name, you should see the Summary Window on the right. At the top of the window all of the other iTunes tabs are arranged. Click on the apps tab and go through and deselect all of the apps that you don't want on the phone. Click on Apply in the lower right corner to apply the changes and sync the phone.

HT1178 is there any reason why I should turn on 5ghz or is 2.4 good enough? I have my mac wired and I have apple tv wireless 3 iPads 2 phones and 1 iPod.

Not sure if 5ghz is better than 2.4? Im running 8 devices on my wireless at 2.4 just wondering if I should connect anything to the 5ghz. thank you

If you have a simultaneous dual band AirPort router, then both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are always being broadcast at the same time.
Wireless devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their wireless capability and distance in relation to the AirPort router.
You really don't have to worry about any of this. Just let your wireless devices decide on the best signal to use and it will all happen magically.....most of the time.

Any reason why I should use Safari on my PC

I use Mozilla now. I now have an Iphone. Is there any reason why I should download and use Safari on my PC? I expect the functions will be different from IE or Mozilla or maybe better, but is it a good idea to download and use since I have an Iphone?

It's pretty irrelevant, unless you really want to sync bookmarks from your computer to your iPhone (you could do that with IE as well, but not Firefox).

HT1338 I had to reinstall my system because I was locked out and now I can't get back any of my purchased applications, not a On my account it shows the newest software purchases. How can I get them back after reinstalling my entire system with an older d

I have a MacBook in Japan. I had to reinstall my system using an older version of the disc that came with my computer because I was locked out and now I can't get back any of my purchased applications, not any of the software updates. On my account it shows the purchases. How can I get them back? None of the websites, such as iTunes seem to explain that...
Thank you in advance,

Go to an Apple store or authorized Apple service provider.

Is this to reduce the clutter of suggestions on the address bar, or for some other reason?
You can change the address bar drop-down so it only suggest bookmarked sites instead of everything in your history. This article describes how to make that change: [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar]] (see the section "How can I control what results the location bar shows me?").
Am I on the right track?
(I'm avoiding the really hard question of how to selectively cull your history. I can't think of a way to do that.)

I restored my ipod and now the Nike app is crashing on me. I've tried turning it off and back on but it doesn't work. Please help.

Hi,
Have you tried a Reset...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...

Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?

Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
"Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
Offered solution doesn't work:
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
Many thanks,
Ed

I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I uninstalled iWork 09 and lost the install disc - is there any way to get it back?

That doesn't sound like a wise thing to have done.
At this point having lost your software purchase, the quickest way will be to purchase and install it from the Mac App Store. It is not expensive and can then be installed on multiple Macs using the same Apple I.D.

When I watch slide show through my Apple TV version 6..2 the air play instruction box appears always on the screen and hides the photo. Is there any way to stop it.

Hi Sujatha vijay,
It sounds as if your Apple TV is in Conference Room Display mode. You will need to turn this off. See this article -

Dear Friends...... I have an ipad 2 32gb with wifi and 3g enabled sim..... i bought it second hand .... and now if am going to download any games it is showing me an email id and asking for its password... please guide me how can i change this setting

Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then login with your id. Any content already on the iPad will be tied to the previous owner's id and it can't be copied or transferred to your id - so it's probably best to do restore the iPad back to factory defaults and start as from new with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings
