If I bought Leopard and it failed how can I get Tiger back?
I am thinking of getting Leopard but people seem to have problems getting it running. I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo made last September, It's in great condition and I have an external drive, I'm wondering what will happen if Leopard screws up and I want to get Tiger back, since it came pre-installed on my iMac I don't have a disk, same goes for my iLife 06 applications. I have backed them up onto my external harddrive and I think that should work. How would I get Tiger (and possibly other applications) back if Leopard screws them up. Remember I have no discs, they came pre-installed.
Thanks a lot,
Michael
I wonder under what circumstances you bought your iMac that you don't have the original disks?
Did you look in the box?

I got a new macbook pro but i have lost some music, tv shows and films. How can i get them back?
Click here and follow the instructions, or move them from the old computer. Any movies you've previously rented aren't transferable.

my internet had been running slowly with lots of fizz and crackle on the line. Telstra came and fixed it, necessitating my having to reset the modem. At first boot up after that, all screen short cuts were gone and all bookmarks were gone. Can I get them back? Help!!
Hello,
Please confirm that the problem you faced was this
#You had an issue with our Internet access
#Telstra fixed the issue and restarted your modem
#Now in Firefox you are unable to view your bookmarks
Is that the issue? If so, it is unlikely that a connectivity issue has caused this problem. Also, can you please confirm if you have enabled Firefox Sync?
Thank you -
I somehow got a screen on my IPhone with my daily calander and weather. How do I access this screen and can I make it my default.
That's your notifications. Slide your finger from the top of the screen downwards and it should appear, slide your up to remove it or press the home button. You cannot set it as your homepage though I'm afraid.

ICloud deleted all my contacts and photos. How can I get it back?
All my contacts and photos from my iPhone and from my ICloud webpage are gone.
I have an ICloud backup from yesterday morning so i tried restoring, but my contacts disappeared again after a few seconds. It says that i have 1000 photos, but I can't see them. All the pictures are grey and when I click on one it just says "loading" and nothing happens.
I kept getting a message to enter my ICloud password, so i did and maybe that could be the reason, or maybe it's because I charged my phone on my new macbook and it somehow deleted it all.
I don't have an ITunes backup, but if I have an old ICloud backup, shouldn't it be possible to get it all back?
I hope someone can help. Thanks.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos don't restore from back up, they restore after back up has completed, so it's quite normal to have to wait a while, especially if you don't have a reliable network.
To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now. -
I had a tile I used all the time and lost it-how can I get it back?
I really like the tiles in the new tab window. I used to have one for the local craigslist which is the site I go to the most. Somehow that tile got removed. Maybe a guest user on my computer deleted it. I don't really know, but I'd like to get it back. So, how can I add it or at least remove the delete setting so it will come back?
Maybe try to visit the site again. Then you might be able to add it back.

When I go in address book, then on either or personal or group, nothing desirable happens. Under 'group' my name appears broken seemingly into columns, as well as my user name, and my email addy for my gmail account. Funny about that gmail name, as I have never intentionally linked it to my tbird account. Please help this old granny, it is driving me insane. Not to mention that i've written this mozilla support bit at least 5 times and something wipes it out before I can submit it.
What happened when this change occurred? What is an "IDN update"?
Can you provide a screenshot (suitably obfuscated) to demonstrate the "my name appears broken seemingly into columns" effect?
I don't know of anything formally called a "group" in Thunderbird's address book, so any other words or names that appear might help here. For instance, my Address Book has mentions of Address Book Contact, Address Book and List. The "List" is perhaps the closest to the group concept used in other address book environments.
Finally, what version of Thunderbird and what OS are you usng? -
Hi!
I was trying to sync my music from my Macbook to my iPhone 5 and accidentally restored the phone to some previous version that I had. In the process, I managed to lose all of my pictures, contacts, text messages, etc. I need some of that back. My computer seems to have the .ap files, but I cannot open them. Is there any way to get my pictures back at the very least?
ThanksThe last backup I have is not recent enough to get my pictures back. Is there a way to get the pictures without using backup or iCloud?

I lost it when I reinstalled Firefox, but I was already using the latest version. I think I must have installed an add-on or a plug-in, but I can;t seem to find whatever it was that I had installed.
Hi polarman,
Thank you for you question. This information is stored in the Profile Folder. However since you reinstalled Firefox I do not know if that information is still in that Folder.
The add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-profile-folder/ Open Profile Folder] can be installed to open the folder that should have that information. If it is there[[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] may be useful to you.
If you have a back up of that Folder from before you reinstalled you can import stuff from an old folder: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
If it is not there, it is pretty easy to rebuild the profile. Go to Tools > Add ons and search for the features you had there before.
If you have any other questions please start a new thread :-) -
IPhoto and PhotoBooth deleted, how can I get them back???
My boyfriend deleted these applications and I finally was brave enough to put the installation disc in (I thought, that everything will be deleted when I use it :D) but I couldn´t find them on it...Tried to download gimp but it wont work...Please help me!!
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
To get PhotoBooth: you're going to need a piece of software called Pacifist. You can use this to extract the relevant software from the Disc. For full instructions see the Pacifist Website.
For iPhoto: Simply choose to install the Bundled Software only.

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
I presume that you have got preinstalled windows 7 System, Which you upgraded to Windows 8 now you have downgraded to windows 7. I have few questions & suggestion
How you downgraded to windows 7 using Recovery System or using windows OEM Disk
I am presuming that you have used the OEM disk, I would suggest you to use the OKR feature to restore to factory default by press F11 button during Post i.e.. When Lenovo Logo is displayed and follow onscreen instructions
Have you created a set of recovery media? If yes you can use these to recovery your system
Note: Before using above steps please ensure you have backed up your data
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!
