how do I get ITunes back when I get the error message :
The application "ITunes" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore it's windows. Do you want to restore it's windows?
I already tried reloading ITunes and it still doesn't startup.You didn't mention but are you still running a version of iPhoto older than iPhoto 11?
If yes, then go to the App Store and purchase the iP 11 app and install it. Back up your photo library first.
Once iP 11 is installed and has imported all your photos do a restart of the Mac.
This should resolve most issues with iTunes 10.6 and you should be able to run iTunes and sync up your iOS devices. -
at the top lefthand side of the toolbar is a key icon and every time I log on a window will appear and ask about wanting me toremember the passwoord. I don,t want this pop up window to come on it,s annoying to have to click no everytime I get on the computer I want it to not come up, I want it to go away.
you will not see the audio meters from within fcp move while capturing.
If you only see the captured clip in the finder, not within fcp, there's something wrong. You might try deleting your fcp preferences

Any one have any suggestions?? AppleCare is closed right now
Hmmmm...
When you say OSX, which version do you want to reinstall?
Was the MacBook Air new when you bought it? Did it originally come with Lion? Mountain Lion?
When you say you erased your hard drive, did something go wrong while you were installing Lion?
Were you installing it from a file downloaded from the App Store, or from another source?
When you press and hold "Option" while you boot up, does "Recovery" come up as an option to boot your computer?
If so, you can reinstall Lion from the recovery part of the drive and (hopefully) everything should be fine.
Let me know if you still need a hand with your MacBook and we'll see if we can get you going again. -

how to edit email you want to forward ?
The Windows Phone OS has been out and used by lots of users for a year and a half already. I thing most all of its restrictions and limitations are pretty documented and easily discovered by just performing a little research...the cat's been out of the bag for a long time!
Nonetheless, there's a lot to like about the phone! (at least IMHO). With each update new functionality and features are added to the phone, third party software is getting better and better....I, personally, am quite satisfied with my windows phone and look forward to all its future iterations.

I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?
If you want to erase the BootCamp Partition, you'd use the Bootcamp utility.
Then that part of the Mac's hard disk drive may be available for use in OS X.
{Or, if you want to install a clean Windows 7 in the same BootCamp partition
you'd use the BootCamp utility to erase/install Windows in the same location.
There is a BootCamp Support section in Apple Support online, and also there
is a fairly OK ASC discussions area specific to that purpose. }
But you may have to check to see if the partition map is correct for Mac OS X
after you've used Bootcamp utility to remove Windows and the partition map.
If you do not use the BootCamp utility to remove Windows, correctly or if a
different method to install Windows was used, you'd have to move your Mac
OS X system and applications off the computer to an external hard drive by
use of a clone utility (carbon copy cloner, or superduper, etc) then use the
OS X disk utility (from running clone, is easiest) to erase the computer's HD
and then correctly partition map and format the hard drive for Mac OS X.
At that point, the entire drive would be erased to reclaim any untouched
partitions from alternative Windows utilities that were used, or not used in
the time frame of proper opportunity.
I've had a few Macs that had been partitioned for Windows and found one
second hand MacBook to have more actual hard disk drive capacity than
the previous owner and the Mac HD info suggested on first glance. About
70% of the drive had been a Windows partition, but was invisible to OS X.
So that turned out to be a lucky find, it was like installing a larger HDD.
The wording of your question leaves a lot
of important information out of the picture.
Good luck!

Using IBook, I can't seem to figure out how to insert a blank page inbetween pages that are already set up, like if you want to add some pictures or something. Anyone have any tips on this? Thanks, Mark
To enable the form to be signed in Reader you will need to open the form in Acrobat; goto Advanced>Enable Usage Rights and then save this copy of the form for sending out to the users.
The user should then be able to edit and digitally sign the form. They can then email the signed/saved pdf as a browsed for attachment or via the email icon in the toolbar. Note - if you have created an email submit button on the form, then unless they have Acrobat they could only return an xml file.
The other way to do this however is to create a dataset by 'distributing' the form. This time the Email Return button will send back a full version of the form. During the distribution setup you will have the option to email the form directly or to save it and send it later,so you can send to users as and when or even post it to a website or intranet.
When you receive and open the returned form it will ask whether you want to add it to the predetermined dataset (or if you want to categorise the returns into geographical areas for example, you could create new additional datasets at this point). If the form is data heavy however, the dataset will become very large and unwieldy pretty quickly, but you can export the data from it (including signatures) in xml format and import this into an Excel spreadsheet.
To simplify the Excel xml import process I'd recommend you carefully structure your form in the hierarchy (LiveCycle) into the order you would want the data items to appear in your spreadsheet and switch off those data items that you will not need by setting the default binding for the irrelevant fields to "None".
Clear as mud? Hope this helps. -
I just reinstalled and this is the pop up that shows "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" what do i do next? it just keeps popping up and loading but only gives a quit button?
Update it.
How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update

How do you reinstall 64-bit Windows 7 in UEFI mode?
I have a PC with a single hard disk and, a while ago now, I installed 64-bit Windows 7 on it in UEFI mode.
The disk has two primary partitions: a C: partition which contains my Windows 7 system and other installed software such as Office, and a D: partition which contains only personal data.
(In other words, I don’t have a multi- or dual-boot system.)
I now wish to reinstall 64-bit Windows 7 into the same C: partition, again in UEFI mode.
There is a procedure for reinstalling Windows 7 documented on the following MS Web page:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-reinstalling-windows#1TC=windows-7
in the section entitled “Using the Custom installation option without formatting the hard disk”.
The following YouTube video demonstrates this procedure:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr_s29MWOA0
and it looks relatively straightforward.
Essentially, the re-installation starts by inserting the installation DVD into the optical disk drive and running setup.exe while still logged on to Windows 7 with an administrator user ID.
At the screen entitled “Where do you want to install Windows?”, both the System Reserved partition (the example in the video is a legacy BIOS installation) and the C: primary partition are visible.
On that screen, you simply select the C: primary partition and click
Next, and Windows 7 is effectively reinstalled over Windows 7.
Any personal data in the C: partition is preserved in a folder called Windows.old.
The big question is, does this procedure work for a UEFI installation?
The documentation does not state that it works only for a legacy BIOS installation.
If I were to follow the procedure, when I reach the screen entitled “Where do you want to install Windows?”, I would expect to see the EFI System Partition (ESP), the Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR), my C: primary partition and my D: primary partition.
Can I simply select the C: primary partition and click Next to start the (re-)installation?
It appears that nowhere in the procedure do you specify what mode of installation (legacy BIOS or UEFI) is required.
Does the installation setup simply use the same mode as that of the existing installation?
Does anyone have any experience of reinstalling Windows 7 in UEFI mode, using this procedure or any other method?Hi,
It depends. Do you have Windows 7 DVD? Does your computer have a Boot from EFI Drive option?
Windows 7 DVD can boot in either BIOS mode or UEFI mode. Different UEFI firmware implementations support different methods for handling the installation operation. The processes for booting the computer into UEFI mode for the Windows product DVD are
the same. If you can find a boot from EFI Drive option, please perform the suggestions as i referred to.
If you cannot find any boot option, perform the steps below:
Use Device Manager's Firmware option and select Boot from EFI Internal Shell.
Use the EFI internal shell, as follows:
Start the EFI internal shell from the EFI boot menu and select the drive with the Windows product DVD. The following example assumes that the drive is Fs0:
Shell> Fs0:
Start the EFI boot application. For example, on an x64 system, run the following command:
fs0:> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
After the application starts, you may be immediately prompted to press a key to boot from the drive to continue. Press a key to continue booting from the installation media.

Hi,
When I insert a lightscribe DVD/CD into a lightscribe optical drive, then when I click to open the DVD, I faced this error 'How do you want to use this disc', although the DVD was full of data. When opening these
lightscribe DVD/CD via NON lightscribe optical drive, I noticed that the DVD/CD opened well without any problems at all.
Also, how can the System show to me 'How do you want to use this disc' , in particular when a DVD is non rewritable(DVD-R) and also contains data)?
Bear in mind, not all DVDs/CDs were not detected. However, only full lightscribe discs' (having data)
However, even blank lightscribe discs were detected without problems. When insert a lightscribe disc having data, then I faced that error. However, when inserting blank lightscribe discs I found that the disc were opened. Also,
non lightscribe discs were opened well.
When checking the device manager, I didn't see any issue with DVD/CD drive. If there were a problem unrecongnising, then I would have seen 'a remarkable mark' in front of it.
Note: I have faced this problem after trying formating a rewritable CD inserted onto the drive. Althouthg the format failed, all data on the disc was deleted. Anyway, after that, then inserting full-lightscribe discs are unregonised
Do you think the problem wth my optical drive. IF so, I would be saying why it wasn't happened with all other non lightscribe discs. If my lightscrib discs were corrupted, then why would they have opened well on another laptop.
I have done:
Press the Windows logo key+R to open the Run dialog box.
Type devmgmt.msc in the Run dialog box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
In Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the CD and DVD devices, and then clickUninstall.
When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.
Restart the computer.
But the same prolbem is existing.
yes there is a virtual CloneDrive program installed on my PC, however, there is no any CD mounted into it. Even if a CD was mounted into Virtual Clondrive, there would be no problem at all, because the virtual CloneDrive is used to only
mount ISO disc images into it, and not physical discs.
Any I have do what you have said, when inserting a light-scribe disc having data, then I open it, I found this
NOTE: in the above screen shot there is a lightscribe DVD having data inserted. However, in the screen shot below, there a ightsrbe DVD not having data inserted. In the first screen shot, the disc is not reconginsed by Windows, however, in
the second is recognised.
Even when I have inserted a lightscribe disc not having data(empty), it opened well regardless of what virutal CloneDrive is enabled or disabled.
But when cliced on my problem didn't solve,
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
FIRST OF ALL:
My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
My
sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
My HP lapotp is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop,
which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is
always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to
the main power supply.
However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is
kept from the dust.
But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop
still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is
not oproperly preporly.
I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I
charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then
when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it
after storing,I found it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it
lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only
lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
the computer shuts down suddenly.
My problem is follows:::
First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR Data
CD/DVD-R LightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive
'duble-click', then I find that disc opens as this way(NOT: With a CD/DVD player
is grayed out)
Blank Or Used CD, DVD±R,RW lightscirbe is unable to be
read:(clicking on it let it Open like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD player:
NOTE: with CD/DVD Player is grayed out)
Used CD/DVD±R/RW Non-LightScribe disc opens normal:
Blank CD,DVD±R,RW Non-LightScribe opens normal(Opens like a USB FlashDrive or
With a CD,DVD)::

I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk
/r /f'
I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software which
came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
I have recovered my system from the Factory Recovery discs.
I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical
drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell
optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor third party disc
recording software
However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE
Thus, my questions are:
How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with
another one.
I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP
laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical
drive which is as follows:::(ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of
My Desktop Computer) ---while my optical drive of my desktop was connected to
the primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the
primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning
well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5,
something went wrong, and then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer
(HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOT recognised/Installed on
BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a
recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a
disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it
opened empty(no files at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot
to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was
still shown as installed on BIOS. However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried
clicking on it on BIOS and then clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be
re-recognized. However, that made no difference. I had to take part my computer
,and then reconnected the optical drive onto the secondary slave
IDE , and let HDD connected to the same primary master IDE.
Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs became being read
normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS]]]

The template that I'm using is a user created one, but basically the Pure White, but shut off rows and columns and turn all the font and everything but the photo borders and the button directions to white. You should end up with nothing but the picture with a border and the buttons below it. Again, it was a lightroom flash gallery. If you look on the website now, I substituted a simpleviewer gallery, so don't use that as a reference anymore. =P What it basically showed up as was the spinning loading circle, but it worked in lightroom fine. Although! It did Not work in Lightroom's Preview in browser. The page opened and remained blank without the loading symbol.

I want to reinstall my OSX but don't know what to back up.
Hi, I would like to reinstall my OSX but I do not know what essential files I must back up before I do anything.
If you using itunes and icloud for music,movies etc then back up the audiobooks.
Also look for the photos you want keep and the movies.
Documents can be upload to icloud so then is like they backed up.
Things that are in icloud are safe but if you have some things that may you want keep then back up then.
Think that after a clean install all the media is gone so think what you will miss and what you use everyday and isn't in icloud.
Also if you want exactly the crap you want get ride off then just delete it and then don't need to reinstall.
I really don't mind much because everyrhing is in icloud and can be access anytime but some people have madia that no in icloud and then if delete it may can't access it.
Hope you finding a way,also as someone already say if you back up the crap and then restore t is like no clean at all so may look for what really you want keep outside icloud.
Good luck.
