Language of some of my icons has changed and I can't seem to reverse it, please help!

A friend of mine was messing around with my laptop and managed to change the language to what I believe to be Russian. I changed the language under the 'International' tab back to English, but for some reason some of my icons (e.g. system preferences, software update and language menu) are still written in whatever language this is. I've fiddled about with the settings in the 'International' tab for hours but with no success and I can't find a solution anywhere. Please help!

Did you do logout/login after moving English to the top of the list?
Also you could try going to system prefs/international/language and using the Edit button to uncheck the box for Russian.

I need to get raw plugin for Canon 5D Mark iii for CS6 the adobe website has changed and I can not find the download.. it keeps looping me back to the product download

I need to get raw plugin for Canon 5D Mark iii for CS6 the adobe website has changed and I can not find the download.. it keeps looping me back to the product download page without the raw

Which operating system are you using?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
(version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows - checking after each one to see if the problem is resolved:
Power your iPad off and on.
A reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.

Why did my calendar view suddenly change? Using iOS 7.1 and I've been using this version for a few weeks with no problem with my calendar. Now the view has changed and I can't view a list mode without seeing the month too

Why did my calendar view suddenly change in iCal? I've been using ios7 fôr a few weeks now with no problems. Suddenly, without any updates or anything, the calendar view changed and I can no longer view it as a list without having the entire month seen as well.

Hey Gattypyle,
Thanks for the question. You simply need to go back to Day/Week view, then tap the list-view icon once more.

Full Scan has hung and I can't seem to quit Sophos

Hi, I installed Sophos free home edition last night for my imac - which i purchased new a couple of weeks ago. I began a full scan last night and this morning I found that it was stuck half way on a zip file. I tried to delete the zip file but a message came up saying it couldn't be deleted because it was in use (obviously by the Sophos scan). I tried to quit Sophos so I could delete the file and restart the scan but it refuses to quit. Even force quit is not working. I wanted to ask for options before I switch my imac off - in case that caused any problems. Thanks in advance.

OK, I had to re-start so I did and it appears not to have caused any issues. Sophos has quit and (seemingly corrupt) file I couldn't delete before has now been deleted. Phew! I will try to do another full scan tonight and see if that completes or hangs and report tomorrow.

Ethernet MAC address has changed and I can no longer connect to the network

I have a new iMac, 21.5" running 10.6.4. It was purchased in the past month.
I am using it on an ethernet network and using DHCP to obtain the address. It has been working for the past few weeks. I turned it on today and it is failing to connect. After some digging around, it seems that the MAC address (Ethernet ID) has been reset to 00:10:18:00:00:00. This is different to the one it has been using last week.
I have not changed any network settings. Airport is working fine.
If I pull out the ethernet cable and reinsert, the machine tries to obtain an IP address. After a while, it returns with a self-assigned IP Address.
Last week, I did notice that it was taking a relatively long time (a minute or so) to obtain the IP address over ethernet. Plugging the same ethernet cable in a macbook, I am able to obtain the IP address for the macbook much more quickly.
I see that I could use ipconfig to change the interface address to what I believe is the correct address. Would this be sensible?
Why would the machine have reset the MAC address anyway?
Regards,
Neil

Dear all,
I am having the same problem with a new MacBook Pro, bought end of October - for me it became apparent for software (Matlab, Comsol) that are registered with a licence file which was created based on the MAC address, and also when trying to register the computer to the company network. That software will only work those times that the computer "knows" its real MAC. Also, I found that audible audio books, managed through itunes, will not synchronize with the ipod at those times when the MAC address is at the producer's default (00:10:15:00:00). I never had network issues other than this computer registration, - no probs at home or elsewhere - , so it will depend on the individual setup which issue users observe.
I have had long phone discussions with different Apple support people, they have done checks based on Capture Data that I sent to them via email, etc.. They can't find the problem in the software/setup and they advised me to go the Genius Bar and have those guys look at the computer's guts.
Restarting sometimes did set the MAC to the real one, also running the code that someone suggested in Terminal sometimes helped.
Other than that, looking through the web, it does not seem to be an Apple-unique problem, but certainly one would like to see support to take care of that issue for Macs soon.
Also, thanks a lot for this thread! Otherwise the support guys on the phone would not have believed my : "the Mac address changes on a daily basis" and would just have brushed me off.
All the best,
Susanne

The icon for Download Helper has disappeared and I can't seem to get it back. I see reference to it in the Firefox Tools dropdown. Where did it go? Thank you.

Video Download Helper is an add-on that I frequently use. It used to have an icon right next to the home icon beside the URL line. It is no longer there. It disappeared after Firefox prompted me to update.
I believe that the add-on is still available to use by Firefox because it has a drop-down embedded in the "tools" drop-down in Firefox.
I have attempted to reload Video Download Helper, but to no avail.
Thanks for your help!

Try this:

You may need to manually add the icon to your toolbar.

HT1918 I can't sign in to my account my email has changed and I can't remember my password

I have changed my email account and can't remember my password and when asked my security question it says that my date of bith is wrong and that it has to send me email how do I change my email if I can't get into my account???

When you log in, has the domain changed to live.com? It's a little confusing how Microsoft's services are offered through many different domains.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
'''(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache'''
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
This can take a few minutes to run if you have a large hard drive.
'''(2) Remove the site's cookies'''
Save any pending work first, then, while viewing a page on msn.com or live.com, as appropriate:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Select each cookie and click Remove. Then OK out and try reloading the page. You also can change the site listed at the top of the dialog to list cookies for the other site (msn.com or live.com, as appropriate).
Can you log in and get to your mail?

HT204053 My email has changed and I can't remember my log on for iCloud. How can I access my account to make those changes

How can I changed the email account for my iCloud account when it is set up with an old email account I can no longer access? I can't remember my password for iCloud.

An "email account" is part of the icloud account, so I'm not sure what you are asking for.
To manage the Apple ID:
https://appleid.apple.com
If you need to change the password, under the Manage your Apple ID section on the right, click the link to Change your password.

The ID for updating apps has changed and I can't update apps

I went to update apps and when the pop up came up there was a different ID there and I can't update.

You can logout of the account via Settings > Store and touching the account id on the right-hand side, and then logging in with the correct it - you can also do it via the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store tab.
