I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?

Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!

go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck

I have had Firefox for years and in the last 2 weeks, I am getting all of these stupid Pop ups about credit reports and some Epic Play thing. How can I make sure I do not get them and why all of a sudden?

if they are no longer in the app store, you can not get them back.

Somehow or another my iPod deleted my videos and they don't show up in my library. Any way for me to get them back?

So, like I said, my iPod classic deleted my videos and now they aren't in my library. Is there any way for me to get them back or do I just count it as a total loss and move on?

If these videos are no longer in iTunes or on your iPod, you can redownload them if they are originally from the iTunes Store via iCloud. See this article for more information.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, you will have to re-import/re-rip these videos from their original source.

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Gotcha.
Back-ups are what they are: a safety copy. If you feel you don't need them, you can trash them. They could be of a previous System if you upgraded, or something else. You wont get the full picture from looking at system profiler.
You may want to look into getting an external drive and offloading some stuff to it.

I just bought a (used) Iphone 3gs for wife and it had angry birds and $89 Navigation on it (I paid extra for it). Once updated and logged into my I-tunes it no longer works? How can I make those apps work?

Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

Click here and try resetting that account’s password.
That Apple ID is stored inside each of those applications. If you can’t get back into it, you’ll need to delete and redownload all of them, which may require repurchasing paid ones.

I got a new iPhone yesterday. The sales people set it up to use. I want to have all the apps, pics, etc from my iPod to be on the new iPhone. How do I do this from my iCloud backup of the iPod??

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos. Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...

Thanks!

Only if you merge them together into one Address Book/Contacts and iPhoto Album(s), the iPad doesn't have individual logins/usernames (with their own unique data) as Mac computers allow.

I am making a complex vector pattern for laser-cutting. No part may be more than 7mm wide at any point. How can I define this in order to get a warning when a shape is too wide? can this be automated?

Not in Illustrator. You will need a CAD program or similar where you can dial in such manufacturing criteria.

do you mean Anchor Point to Anchor Point should be less than 7mm? A Script could check segment lengths, on demand, not automatically as you draw.
