IMac has gone back in time, deleting important files!

Hi, my iMac has sent many of its settings and files as they were months and months ago, and many other files have simply been erased completely, including all my school HSC files and my entire music collection.
more seriously is that although i have had a time machine back up set up for a long time now, it suddenly has deleted all recent up dates, with my earliest one being around april this year!
Has anyone had a similar problem lately? can any one offer some advice on what to do?
thanks...

I'm not on Leopard, so I have no idea.
However, you might have more luck if you posted this question in the Time Machine forum. This one is for Keynote.

TS3048 My wireless apple keyboard for my Imac has gone haywire.

The wireless keyboard for my iMac has gone haywire. The signal to the computer appears to be corrupted. When I turn it on it automatically fills in all the spaces in the box where I am supposed to type in my password at startup in order to complete booting up. It will not allow me to erase any of the letters to properly type in the password, but repaetedly fills in the spaces to capacity. It will also affect & turn on the audio volume & just goes mad until I turn it off when the computer returns to normal - although of course this means that I am unable to log in to access anything. Tried changing the keyboard batteries but no different. Any thoughts please??

Hi Sara1
Several of our PDF File icons on my Desktop images went blank; and, cannot be accessed now. I subsequently received a notification from your company stating that Workspace will be retiring and all files left will be permanently deleted if they aren't down loaded from the site by a certain date in January 2015. However, when I opened the web site, per your company's directions, I wasn't able to open the downloaded files! Please correct this error ASAP.

Yahoo is my homepage, when I downloaded Firefox 4 my email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

Yahoo is my homepage, I have been using Firefox for years but when I downloaded Firefox 4 my yahoo email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, it was there for a while but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Is there an easy way to free up memory without deleting important files?

I am trying to free up memory on my MacBook without deleting important files. I'm not sure which files I can delete permanently without interfering with the operating system or applications. Any advice?

You can delete any document files you've stored in the Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders located within your Home folder. Or you can replace the hard drive with a larger drive or offload documents to an external storage drive then delete from the internal drive.

Why has my iTunes gone back in time?

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find the right answer.
I loaded up my iTunes (windows Vista) that I have had for over 3 years. No new updates on iTunes or the PC and yet once it was open it was like it went back in time and loaded up all my songs, TV programs, films etc from about 2.5 years ago! Stuff that is not even on my PC (that I know of) anymore!
All new songs etc are not on iTunes at all. Very odd. I wont sync my iPhone now incase I lose all the newer stuff.
Any ideas or help?
Thanks

change your display settings.
control panel->adjust screen resolution->highest(32bit)

After closing firefox, the next time I open it my homepage has gone back to the default homepage and not the one I tried to set as my home page.

I've tried multiple times to set my home page to Yahoo.com
It works as long as I have Firefox open, but if I close Firefox and then re-open it, the home page has reverted back to the default home page, not the one I set.
This has not happened before updating to 3.6.10.

There are several possible reasons for it being reset, for details see [[Preferences are not saved]].

Latest IOS 7.1 Release - How can I set calendar events to the minute. This was enhanced in ios7 and now has gone back to 5 minute blocks. Why???/

In IOS6 you could only set calendar appointments at 5 minute intervals. This was fixed in IOS7 but has reverted back in the latest release of IOS7.1. Why? IS there any way to override it. It means I have to go back to my old method of putting my actual golf tee time in the description of the appointment.

Design change with iOS 7.1. Tell Apple you don't like this here:

RAM has gone bad 4 times now, anyone else have bad RAM?

I purchased a 17" MBP (Early 2010) the week they were released. In the first 2 months, one stick of RAM would go bad at a time. This happened 3 times. The Apple Store replaced them the first 2 times, but on the third failure (after doing a diagnostic that found nothing) they decided to replace the unit with a new MBP.
It has been just over a month and one stick of RAM has gone bad on my new MBP. This is the 4th RAM failure.
I keep my MBP on my desk 99% of the time. I'm not doing anything crazy with it. It's almost always plugged in to a power source. I've owned many Macs and PCs over the years and never had RAM problems like this.
I got the feeling the genius employee who helped me this time was getting suspicious of the frequent RAM failures on two separate macs. If I were him, I would be too. But I know I'm not doing anything that would cause this (and I'm not opening up the insides of the MBP for fear of voiding warranty).
Has anyone else had an issue like this? Can anyone think of something that could bring about RAM failures this frequent? Was the 1st computer defective and the 2nd one just bad luck with a bad stick of RAM?
If if makes a difference. On the 1st MBP, when booting up I'd get a blank screen, no beeps. With the 2nd MBP, I'm getting a blank screen but 3 beeps/blinking lights that repeat.

Hi
likely to be coincidence, unless you've a very very spiky power supply there, and/or a power adapter that wasn't renewed at the same time as the mbp.
