  • I am trying to download a flash player but my computer is asking for a tchnical password and I do no

    I am trying to download a flashplayer and my computer is asking for the technical password for the computer and I do not know it. How can I work around that?

    There IS NO password required to "download" Flash Player, but...
    You CANNOT install software without your system administrator password, and that's with ANY software, not just Flash Player or Reader.

    If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

  • I just updated 3 addons and now Firefox goes into background mode and I am not able to reach the Tools/Addons to disable any addons.

    Firefox stays in foreground for maybe 10 secs before going into background. I can't reach FF to do anything with FF.
    I have to use Task Manager to close FF.
    I don't remember which 3 addons were updated, but I was notified of updates when I tried to open FF at about midnight this morning.

    hi there i tried the removal of the sessionstore.js file and and fired up the mozilla firefox up again and still no joy from the windows xp machine all other browsers work fine, its just hanging still, reading the article from the link you sent i can't any issues that i am getting but i did manage to un-install the FF8 again deleted any folders and dowloaded V3.6.24 from here http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    then updated from there and all seemed to go well then yet again i got the same issue ,when i open the browser i am unable to type in the search and use the mouse on the File edit etc menus rendering the browser useless so i think its a the update to V8.0 that is causing the issue, when i reinstalled i had no themes no plugins the extensions on the 1st boot ticked the MS .net there was that and java Un-ticked when the browser booted up it was the same hanging for ever . i think i may stick with the older version for now until a fix is available as there is some thing that does not like this new version on that pc... but i hope you can help me to upgrade as its annoying now

  • When I try to download songs from itunes it says I have to answer my security questions(which i made a year ago) I can't remember them, and I can't get on my email to reset the questions.. please help ASAP!

    I recieved an ipod 5 for a early christmas present a day ago, I already owned an ipod 4 so i just used my info from that ipod as a back up for my 5g. but now when i try to download music from itunes it says i must use my security questions (which i made over a year ago) I can't remember the answers and i can't get on the email that it sends the reset info to. i don't know what to do and its really frustrating. please help ASAP!

    You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
    Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • I didn't make a voicemail password and almost always when I'm trying to do something on my iPhone 5s, it keeps asking for my voicemail password. What should I do??

    I don't recall making a voicemail password. I just got my iPhone 5S on Wednesday and already like 2 days ago, it keeps asking me for my voicemail password. I'm clueless on what to do because I never made a voicemail password. HELP!!!

    Voicemail is handled by your carrier, not Apple.  Try contacting them.

  • Yesterday I downloaded something called babalon, today my computer was movng slow so I deleted babalon and something called safari, and now I dont have bookmarks on foxfire just a blank white page. I do I reverse and back my book marks

    I deleted Babylon after installing it yesterday, and deleted safari not knowing what it was and now I dont have my bookmarks, just a blank whit page. How do I restore all back to before?

    Get an external hard drive at least the same size as your internal hard drive, bigger is better. Use Time Machine to back up your files and applications. Once you've done that Start your computer from your original install disc, erase the hard drive and reinstall the original OS X and applications that came with your computer. Then start up using your Snow leopard install disc and upgrade the system to 10.6, run software update to get to 10.6.8 and restore your files and applications from your Time machine backup. Continue to use Time Machine to back up your computer regularly.
    Apple's software will generally serve you well for everyday tasks like browsing and email, counting on unproven third party software to do the same tasks sometimes can give you headaches.

  • TS1814 On my ipod 4g I locked it with a forgotten password (I mistyped a letter so now I can't get in) and now I want to restore it so I can get back in. Whenever I try to click 'Restore' in Itunes, that same message will pop up, but I'm connected.

    If I try to update or restore it, a message pops up saying, "The Ipod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." How can I fix this? I really don't care about losing my data, cause I can just re-sync my songs and videos, and all my pictures are saved on a flash-drive. I just need a way to be able to restore my ipod and get rid of that passcode without using the actual ipod, because I can't get in anyways. How can I do this? Also, I'm not sure which IOS I have. All I know is that it's below 5.0.0. I think it might be IOS 4.0.0, I'm not sure.

    Hello Terri_B,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

  • IOS 7 downloaded fine but I can't back up restored. Tried 3 times. Tried turning off iCloud. Now I can only receive texts and phone messages. I cannot make calls, retrieve phone messages or send any texts. When I try I just get a blank screen. HELP

    I initially tried to do this at 11:39pm last night. I cleaned up my apps, backed up to my computer and then took the plunge. It downloaded fine, everything went ok until I tried to restore backup. I received a message that there was an error in iTunes and iPhone could not be restored. I tried this three times giving up at 2:00 am. I tried again at 7:30am. No fix. Now I can open up phone and browse in safari. I can get notifications that a text was received or a phone message left but I can't receive or make phone calls, retrieve phone messages, or access any text features. Also I have NO purchased apps. I use my phone got work and this has ruined my day - please help!!

    I would start with going to O2 with the phone and making sure it's set up properly - maybe the SIM they gave you isn't quite right or their network isn't acknowleding it like it should.
    Seeing as you've tried restoring to factory settings and resetting network settings, I'm assuming you've tried restoring the phone as new, just to see if that helped at all. If that didn't help, you definitely need to get in touch with O2 and work things out with them.
