My blue indicator lights only show under finder. How do I get them to show back under Safari and iTunes when I open them?

I have tried everything to fix this. I am going to restart my computer again and see if that works this time. I have checked every post about this on Apple Support and other sites (not Apple) to no avail. If anyone out there has any idea that will work help me out.

My "awesome bar" is not showing up! How can I get it to show?

My "awesome bar" is not showing up at the top of my page! How can I get it to turn back on? I have all of my plug-in information up to date. Help!

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

When i put a cd into my itunes library sometimes it does not get stored under the same cover. sometimes stored under 3 or 4 different icons. what can i do to prevent this. how do i get all the songs back under the same kicon in one place? help would be a

sometimes when i put a new cd into my itunes libray all the songs do not end up under the same icon. sometimes it will go into the library under 3 or 4 different icons (album artwork) and sometimes if there are for example 12 songs on the cd each song goes under a separate icon.this seams to happen more frequently with cd's that have different artists on one disc and not just one artist performing all the songs.
is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
is there a way to go into my library and get them put back under one icon as it should have been? i have tried drag and drop and it will not work.
thanks to anyone that can offer some help

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Got locked out of iPhone 4 my only option was to upgrade so I got iphone 5s but when I restore from backup that's recent from iCloud I don't get my game data and app data how do I get all my data back for games and apps?

I still have old phone is there a way to bypass 4 digit code my kid created it and locked me out but it's disabled says connect to iTunes but no access to computer just wifi. I have all my data still on it there's gotta be a way to over ride it or something far situations like this cause someone said iCloud don't save everything like app info just basic app info PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP OUT???
I'd like my phone to have all data it had when I backed up to iCloud bought extra space and everything and still didn't get all my data from other phone and I made sure everything was checked on to be backed up

Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this?

Itunes deleted my library from my ipod. now i only have new purchases. how can I get my whole library back onto my ipod?

I just transferred itunes to a new computer. When I plugged in my ipod, I was asked if I wanted to erase my old library and put the new on on. I said yes because my whole library is on this computer. Now that it's done with the sync, I only have the three albums that I just purchased and all of the rest is gone. How can I sync my whole music library back onto this device?

If the lost music and photos are no longer accessible by or on your iPod, on your PC, or in another backup somewhere, you are out of luck. You can download most iTunes purchases again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more information and assistance.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to redownload or rerip them from their original source.
For the future, you may want to consider backing up your iTunes library and/or PC.

Trying to organise video clips but can not find them in iphoto under Movies but do appear idvd under movies.How can I get into iphoto movies section to edit and organise the video clips

In iphoto '08 in my Library section "Movies" doesn't show as a seperate folder so to find my video c;ips I have to go through 13,000 photos and yet in iDVD they do show up in the media area. How can I edit them and put them into specific files?

Tell me if a video has been recorded on its side! or even upside down, can you turn it round the proper way?
If you have Quicktime Pro you can rotate the video. There's a plugin for iMoive that can rotate clips. Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "rotate video" and you'll find several apps that can do the job and the plugin: MacUpdate: Search for '+rotate +video'

Blue indicator lights not working properly

Hi
I've just doen the SMC updated to enable Power Nap on my 13" Macbook Air running ML. It seemed to work OK except that the blue indicator lights in the dock aren't working properly. Instead of showing blue lights it now shows little white rectangles. Seems to function the same, it's more of a graphical glitch it seems - but an annoying one. Any ideas please? I am a complete Mac noob I'm afraid.. first ever Mac...
Thanks.

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn't work.
You need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

Is there a way to find my UDID code? I have no back up in my itunes or pc.

Is there a way to find my UDID code? I have no back up in my itunes or pc.

Open iTunes (the Mac or PC app, not iTunes on your iPhone).
Plug in your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
Click its name under the devices list.
Ensure you’re on the Summary tab.
Click on the text that says Serial Number. It should change to say Identifier (UDID).
Select Copy from the Edit menu.
Your UDID is now in the clipboard, so you can paste it into notes or a document for saving

I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks?

I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. It is marked as an audiobook in Options | Media Kind. It is also marked to Remeber Position, but it does not do that. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks and remember the position? I have a 4th Gen Ipod running Ios5

Check out the instructions for a work around on this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702732#18702732
This worked for me. I would like to see Apple fix this issue, as it isn't very fun to have to do this for every downloaded book.

I recently got apple tv but the photo stream only seems to show up those photos which I took in September and no others (ie. 20 out of around 100). Any ideas why the earlier photos on my photo stream in ipad don't show up on apple tv?

My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers. When I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay. How can I get internal speakers back.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.
Regards.

Can only view file in its blue psd format when I open them in CS6
Is anyone else having this problem?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
