I've accidentally deleted something in the Users & Groups pane and now many of my programs do not run at all!

Hello all, I'm hoping you can help me as I have accidentally deleted something in the Users and Groups pane and I don't know how I can restore it. Because of this, items on my desktop have disappeared, my trackpad behaves much differently, and many of the programs are unresponsive. Should I consider wiping it clean (I do not have any start up discs at my disposal) and is there a way to keep my operating system (Mavericks 10.9.2)?

Try to boot your MacBook Pro from recovery mode and if you have TimeMachine backup, you can restore most of stuffs

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either. I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too. is there anyway to recover these documents?

I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either. I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too. is there anyway to recover these documents?

On a mac, when you save docs to icloud, a local copy is also saved. It's saved at:
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
If the file(s) are no longer there, then use your Time Machine backups to get copies back to the mac.

I have purchased an iPAD in the United Arabic Emirates and now found that Face Time is not included in UAE. If I reset my iPAD in an other country will Face Time be installed on my devise?

I have purchased an iPAD in the United Arabic Emirates and now found that Face Time is not included in UAE. If I reset my iPAD in an other country will Face Time be installed on my devise?

FaceTime is, by Government regulation, removed fro iDevices sold in the UAE, and cannot be instaled on these devices in any way. Even outside the country.
You will need to get a non UAE iPad to have Facetime.

HT201272 I accidentally deleted an album from my iTunes library and now that i want to re download it is saying that it has already been purchased but i don't have it how do i get the album back?

I accidentally deleted an album from my itunes library and i want to buy it again but itunes is saying that i have already purchased it but i don't have it in my library. How do i buy the album again?

Sorry, but audiobooks cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

HT5622 I entered the wrong birthdate into the Apple ID login and now it is saying I so not meet the minimum age requirement. How do I fix this and create and account?

I just got an IPhone today and I went into the App Store to create an Apple ID and I accidentally entered the wrong birthdate and now it is saying I do not meet the minimum age requirement. How can I fix this and finally create my Apple ID?

Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If that doesn't work and you have not verified your email address, you may still be able to use it to create an Apple ID. Just start from scratch.

I recently updated my IOS software on my IPAD with the latest version and now video from some sites does not run. I did not do the update on my other IPAD and the video runs fine. Any idea why.

I have an IPAD 3 and recently updated the IOS software with the latest version and now video from some sites will not display where it did prior to the update. When I go to those same sites on my other IPAD that I did not do the softward update the video still works. Any idea why and what to do to fix it?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Accidentally deleted MobileMe mailbox in Mail.app 4 and now need to recover

Here's what's up. Yesterday I accidentally deleted a mailbox on my MobileMe account. The one that has 30000+ messages in it form the past 3 years...
Realizing how stupid that was I immediately made a copy on a safe place of the local cache on my computer. So now I have a copy of that entire mailbox in .imapmbox format. Today I have tried to find a solution to figure out how to get that email back into Mail.app and I fail to find a way.
I have tried to make a bogus IMAP account and copy the mailbox to it but nothing happens, I have tried to import the email using the import tool in Mail.app but it can't recognize the filetype, I have tried to just copy the entire mailbox into the Mailboxes directory in my Library and then it actually appeared in the "On My Mac"-list as a mailbox but with no messages in it.
I have use emlxtombox converter and that gave me some result but the attachments were omitted.
What to do?

Have you tried to import the mail box? You are trying to copy a back file into the mail app, it will not work as you found out. You should look into a way to backup your files.
try the following:
import mail box

I dragged my tabs into the "Tab Group" button and now cant find those tabs but they are there in Firefox Home.

I probably did this wrong since i just started using Firefox, but i dragged a tab into the Tab Groups button on my tool bar and lost all of the tabs when viewing on my laptop. When viewing on my smartphone can still view them in Firefox Home, please help.

The app tabs feature is still in a relatively early stage of development. The option to remember app tabs independently of sessions has not yet been implemented, but it will be part of the release version of Firefox 4.

If you catch it right away - and I mean right away - there is an Undo bottom on the keyboard. If you tap the ?123 button in the lower left corner, that will bring up the Undo button. Try that next time.
That has worked for me from time to time. And yes, shaking the iPad will bring up an Undo Typing box as well.

Sorry to hear that the Bluetooth data/profiles may have been deleted from your phone. Accidents happen!
oznaw, to be honest, I believe you will need to perform a master reset in order to recover the missing Bluetooth data, as there is nothing really available in the Play Store that just updates the Bluetooth profiles/data. Let us know if you have any additional questions, or if you found an alternative. Thank you oznaw.
