ITunes update removes essential software from my computer, which means I can't use the Internet.

Two days ago, I updated iTunes to the latest version, but it appears that during the installation, vital software was removed from my computer. The result was that I couldn't access the Internet after the installation. I then did a system restore to get my computer back to how it was before I installed the new iTunes, with the result that the essential Internet file is back, but I can no longer open iTunes. I am getting the message that I need to change to the English version! I never selected any other version during the installation and in any case there was no such option. I simply pressed the "Download update" from within iTunes.
I have tried re-installing iTunes, but I keep getting the same result and have to keep reverting so that I can use the Internet. Has anyone come across this problem? How do I resolve it?

Okay than this definitely was not Apple. Apple support techs never have access to your mouse. It sounds like this company installed some software on your Mac. It is hard to tell what their intentions are but just assume in these situations that all your data was compromised. Possibly all your online accounts have been compromised such as social networks, banks, etc.. The smartest thing to do would be to change all of your passwords and reinstall OS X on your Mac. It sounds extreme but that's what happens when a 3rd party company gains control of your computer.

if i put my MBP to charge i can't use the internet!!! AND I NEED IT!!!! someone can help me?? 'cause my internet works really good while the computer is not charging, otherwise i can't open any page!! HEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!

erjubama10, my wife just recently started complaining about a similar problem with her Unibody Macbook. She states that when she's plugged into the power adapter that the network is extremely slow.
I just have not got a chance to get the Macbook from her long enough to try to isolate the problem. If an when I do I'll post my finding. Until then I fully expect you to figure it out for me, LOL!

I got data, but i can't use the internet today from my iphone 4

it says "could not activate cellular data network
you are not subscribed to a cellular data service"

Hello - This isn't a response since I have the EXACT problem. I paid "MyTechHelp" $100 because they said they could fix it and they couldn't. I've narrowed my understanding to this:
1. The phone does not need to be jailbroken
2. Plug the phone into iTunes and back up the phone then restore and it will be Unlocked. I got a message from iTunes saying congratulations "your phone is unlocked"
3. Don't pay to unlock or jailbreak ..I wasted $200 already doing that
4. The APN needs to be reset to your carrier ... If I figure out how I'll respond soon
5. I tried unlockit.co.nz and that doesn't work

Why are icons disappearing from my dock even tho I can still use the location to open the app

How do I keep icons from disappearing from my dock - even tho I can click on the emptied location and open the "ghost" application?

That sounds off. I would right click on the icon/space in the dock and click options>remove from dock. Then drag the application from the apps folder in finder to the dock again and see if it stays.

After upgrading to the latest version of firefox. I can no longer access the internet and all traces of Mozilla Firefox are gone from my computer. I have no access to the internet, my home page or my e mails. What can be done??

I have been using firefox for years. I downloaded the latest version and at the conclusion of the down load I was refussed access to the internet. Something about Proxy???? I checked my firewalls and security and they said that mozilla was allowed but everytime I attempt to gain access I am refused. I cant access the internet and I cant download another program to access the internet. I uninstalled Firefox and attempted to reinstall but after uninstalling Firefox I have no means to reinstall because there are no traces of it on my computer and I no longer have access to the internet. What do I do? I cant access my e mails, stored messages, favorites etc etc.

No. After I select "Choose" the dialog box expands to provide only three choices. This is a new bug. I have only seen it in the past week or so, but it is maddening. I have observed that, while the Mozilla Foundation focuses on trivialities like which search engine should be the default, the Firefox application becomes buggier and buggier. Most of my family has switched to Chrome, and I will be following shortly. Firefox used to be a great program. Not any more. Getting assistance with a problem has also become very difficult.

I set up the firefox sync from my computer to my ipad. can I use this acct somehow to get info from my ipad that i lost?

i lost my ipad. i have a sync acct with firefox from my desktop to my ipad 2. how do i retrieve info from my ipad using the firefox sync that i set up

Hi!
Unfortunately the communication with iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) is only in one direction: data from your computers will go to your iPad but not the other way around.
That's a limitation of Firefox Home.

How can I sync my ipad with a computer that no longer can connect to the internet?

All of my music and pictures are on this laptop. It cannot connect to the internet via wireless or ethernet anymore and I need to "authorize" my account on this computer to be able to sync to Ipad 2.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such a reason. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.

I want to charge my battery in the IPod but do not have my computer with me. Can I use the plug in wall outlet charger that I have for my IPad 2?

I wish to charge my IPod but do not have my computer with me. can I charge the IPod with the plug in wall charger that I have for my IPad2?

Yes. However, the output of the iPad's wall charger may be a little less than what it would be if it were an actual iPod wall charger, so it may charge a little bit slower. I'm not 100% positive though.

If I buy an iphone from an applestore in another country, can i use the warrancy here in my own country?

Is there a way to use the warrancy in my country if I buy the iphone from another country from an applestore?

If both places are in EU countries there is no issue. If not you will have to return to the country where you purchased it for warranty service.

I have a new mail update and it won't even open, and now I can't use the old mail app either.

I have a new mail upgrade and it won't even open. How do I fix this?

You mean the Apple Mail app? Updated through software Update in the Apple Menu?.
Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
Do you still have Snow Leopard or didn't you update your profile?

When I'm out of range for Wi-Fi on iPad, can I use the Internet connection from my iPhone 5?

I only get Internet on my iPad when I have my wireless router. When I'm out if range can I piggyback with my iPhone5? If so, how.

Yes, you can use the hot spot feature of the iPhone 5 to create a WiF Access Point.

Apple Store, Apple on-line store, or local computer store that sells Apple stuff.

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
