The airplay icon has disappeared from my desk top. It was there two weeks ago, so I can't watch movies I've downloaded from iTunes and flick them over to my TV.

The airplay icon has disappeared from my MAC desktop. It was there two weeks ago when I successfully used it to 'flick a movie i had purchased from iTunes over to my tv. Also, if I rent the movie through iTunes, why (because of the above issue) when I go to 'Purchased' it doesn't display as an option when actually using Apple TV, it doesn't display but when I go to rent it again a message comes up saying "you have already rented this movie, do you want to rent it again"? Frustrated!!

Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
Oh John.... Oh Marsha.....

My delete icon has disappeared from voicemail screen. how do I get it back

my delete icon has disappeared from the voicemail page. I can not delete any voicemails now. how can I get the delete icon back?

First of all do you have a CD/DVD in the drive? The icon is only shown on the desktop when there is a CD/DVD in the drive.
If you have a CD/DVD in there, then check that CD/DVDs, and iPods is ticked in Finder/Preferences/General.

HT1338 Safari has "disappeared" from my desktop. How do I get it back?

Safari has disappeared from my desktop. How do I get it back?
This is a family computer and no telling how it was deleted. Firefox is OK, but seems to be running slow with a few annoying pop-ups. I am a novice Mac-ophile.
Suggestions?

Go to the Apple Menu and use Software Update, enter your password and do what it says, check again to make sure it's clear.
Next look in your Applications folder for Safari and drag it's icon to the Dock, and place Safari there, it will make a new "shortcut"
If Safari is not working then
Next see if you can download the Safari from here using Firefox and install it.
https://www.apple.com/safari/
If it says "can't install blah blah blah" then exit and trash the installer.
Apple issues newer Safari versions via Software update and it takes some time to get it on the web side.
But that's how you re-install Safari, however the Software update likely will fix your malware issue and provide a new Safari.
If you need Safari right away there is a way to reinstall it and all of OS X at once, quite a chore.

My app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod, how do i get it back?

my app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod touch, does any one know how to get it back

- Try using the Spotlig search. Maybe yu just can't find it.
- Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Maybe it is hidden by setting a restriction for it.
- Do a reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

The Youtube app was removed by Apple in iOS6. You can use either the iPhone app from Youtube (free in the app store, but you've got to set it at 2x), or go to www.youtube.com in a Safari web browser. You can also add the web page to your Home Screen using the share feature. It will then operate just like an app.

My calendar icon has disappeared from my iphone home screen. It is not in the hotspot tray either.
Help!

You cannot delete it.
It is likely i a folder, or on another page.
If you do not find it, then you can reset the home screen layout.
This can be found in the manual.

Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive. Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box. DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key. That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives. Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.
