Is there any reason that my lock keeps unlocking in my network settings? Is there any way to keep it locked? It sure is inconvenient when I have to reboot to get back on the internet and re-lock that lock.

You could try changing the settings in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Advanced/Require an Administator password to access locked preferences
But this will affect all Preference settings.

My Phone is getting stuck in App mode and I have to reboot to get back to the regular screen? What ever app I'm in works but I cant exit?

My Iphone 4 is getting stuck in what ever App or screen I have open. I have to reboot to get back to the normal screen. I have done a reset with no change. Any advice?

I'm assuming your iPhone is not jailbroken?
You likely have an app that's misbehaving. Try restoring as new and see how it runs factory fresh.
Also, maybe your Home button is not functioning correctly. This has been a widely reported problem. Try cleaning under it with a vacuum or compressed air.
Note that you have a 1 year warranty - you may need to use it.

Every time I update Firefox I can't get back on the internet. I have to uninstall and go back to an old Firefox.

I have an old Firefox. Every time I update to a new version, I can't get back on the internet. It tells me it can't find the server. So I have to uninstall the updated version and go back to my old version.

Check your firewall settings.

Return it to them for a refund, if they will accept it.
Otherwise you have a brick.
There is nothing that anyone here or at Apple can do for you.

I am currently in Brazil traveling back to NYC tmw. I accidently , .... playing around with my 13 yr old turned on the voice control.voice over (?) and signed in using "portuguese -Brazilian " as the language of choice even though for the past 4 months I had it set to U.S. English.

Ipad shuts off randomly during the internet and or games that use internet.

Recently our ipad is shutting off during internet use and with some games. Any suggestions

Try this. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Then reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Just updated all apple products how can I get back to the page on apple tv that helps me get started with mirroring

Need to get back to home screen on apple tv to help get started with mirroring

Ditto.
You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

HT1719 When I try to drag a song to my shuffle it says "this song is in iCloud and can't be transferred. Why and what is iCloud I havsn't downloades any such thing. Help me get back to the old and simple way of transferring my songs!!!~

When I try to drag a song to my shuffle it says " this song is in iCloud and can't be transfered. Why is it ? I never downloaded anything like iCloud. I just want to be able to move my music where and when I waNT TO. i HAVE BEEN UNTILL i DOWNLOADED NEWEST VERSION OF ItUNES. gET ME OUT OF THIS!!!

thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

PS elements 10 locks up, have to reboot to get back.

I received a copy of photoshop elements 10 as a bonus with the purchase of a Wacom tablet. I downloaded, installed and registered the product. While I am attempting to edit or more corectly move an item from one photo to another the program locks up. I can get back to my regular uses of the computer but in order to use PCE10 again it is necessary to reboot my computer. This has happened every time I have attempted to manipulate a photo.
I tried downloading and re-installing but the same results
Help

Sorry. I have windows7. Not sure if I disabled microsoft security essentials but malware bytes was not running. Should I try uninstalling PSE10 and re-install. Not sure how to disable MSE.
Thanks

I can't connect to itunes via my computer - the error I am receiving is: Itunes cannot connect to the store. The network connection was refused. I am on the internet and I know that is working. Please help.

I can't connec to itunes but my internet is working fine

SO we rule out Winsock provider issue.
Can you try these entries in command prompt (Run as Administrator for Win7/Vista) one at a time?
ipconfig /release
then
ipconfig /renew
restart computer
ipconfig /flushdns
totally shut down computer then restart.
netsh winsock reset all
restart computer
Now test your iTunes again. If that does not work, uninstall your Antivirus program and test again.

Whenever I close and then reopen firefox all I get is boxes with numbers in them instead of letters or words I have to reboot to get back to regular firefox.

If I leave firefox open and simply minimize everything is fine if I close it and then reopen it even if right away I get the boxes with the numbers instead of letters or numbers.

Try to set the pref gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password. When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks...I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support sorting out the password issues for my various devices!!! My password was compliant with the new rules, but there were some (mysterious) setting issues that required me to delete mail from my MacBookPro and add it back, again. All in all, it was an hour of trouble-shooting which resulted in what, I hope, is a good fix.
Thanks for your help...wishing you continued success in the support community.

I had renamed my user login name and assumed that there will be no change in the settings and files. When I login with the new profile name everything is gone. How can I get back all my files and settings?

You should have asked this before you tried: Changing username or short name- User Account and Short Name- OS X- How to change user account name or home directory name.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.
