My BT keyboard delete button now forward deletes rather than backspacing like it used to do. This happened after I got my iMac back from the hard drive replacement program. Any ideas how to return the keyboard to the default backspace?
The good news after my hard drive was replaced during Apple's Seagate replacement program -- all my data and settings reinstalled seamlessly through Time Machine and my external hard drive. Bad news? My BT keyboard will now only forward delete when I hit the delete key rather than backward delete. I find this so ironic since I hated this feature when I switched from PC to Mac, but now I'm totally used to it. I tried resetting the default under system preferences, but it didn't help. Otherwise, keyboard works perfectly. This is so strange. Anyone have any suggestions? Oh -- and now I see my arrows don't work either.

My Imac was just repaired at Apple Store and I have no sound. The Speaker Icon is not on???
Check the Sound system preferences. If the volume is turned up and the Mute checkbox is not marked, you don't have anything plugged into the headphone/output jack, and testing the Alert Volume on the Sound Effects pane doesn't generate a tone, then the technician may have failed to properly reconnect the speakers and you'll have to take the Mac back to the Apple Store. First, though, try resetting the PRAM:

My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contacts to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone?
If you have the contacts on the phone you can sync the phone to the computer. The contacts should then show in address book. At this point you can sync the address book data to iCloud. You have to make sure the iCloud account is setup on the computer and this will not work unless the computer is running 10.7.2 of course. There are other ways to add the contacts to iCloud like through the phone but the phone must be running iOS5. If it is you can simply add the cloud account to the phone and toggle the contacts slider. You will get a prompt to keep or delete the contact data. Of course you keep. Then you will get a prompt to merge at which point you do. This should merge the contacts on the phone with iCloud. Hope this helps.

Got my G5 back from the apple specialist (A Fixed Logicboard?)
So Just got my g5 back from the apple repair place. The computer had a problem with its logicboard, just spent a sh%t load on getting that repaired...
So bring it home, update the latest mac software, as i was burning a scratched cd-r, it stopped and said some kinda mac error, (probably something like the cd is unreadable, which makes sense) right then is when it froze... not even a force quit could save it. Restarted it no problem... played a game, an hour or two later, out of nowhere it did another ultimate freeze... Restarted it, now its not even loading, just still on the apple logo. This is what happend when the apple genius guys did a diagnostic on it originally before getting the new logicboard...
So first thing I will talk with the repair place see why its doing this again... But what do you think it is? Another bad Logicboard? I know its not a HD problem, but it might be a processor, right?
What do all of you guys think?
Thanks soooo much for your time!If what you are seeing is a boot that only goes as far as the Apple logo, but never starts the spinning gear, then you've got what I had this last weekend...
What's happening in the sequence is BootX has checked the basics of your hardware and found things working by its quick test. It's not exhaustive, but it's not trivial either.
Then BootX transfers control to the boot code on the disk (I believe in a fixed location on the disk). That puts the Apple logo on the screen.
Then it starts to load drivers, and puts the spinning gear up.
If you never see the spinning gear, I would strongly suspect you have a boot disk problem. Likely the logical structure of the volume has a problem; possibly there are also surface problems on the disk itself.
Try starting up while holding the "Option" key down, this should give you a choice of drives to boot from. If you have the APP or Tech Tool disk, that's a good one to put in the CD drawer. Try a disk test from inside there, or if you don't have those, use the OS X install disk and run a verify from Disk Utility.
Write back and let us know how things progress. -
if you use iTunes match in order to create space and remove music from your hard drive, does that happen automatically when you subscribe and upload your music or is there another step to remove the music from your hard drive once you've uploaded to iTunes match?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself. -
My computer is part of the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive replacement program. What is the best external modem to use in order to back up my files prior to me dropping off my computer.
As Babowa says, get an external disk. You should have one for normal backups anyway.
Actually, I'm a strong fan of having multiple backups. 3 copies including the original, 2 different backup formats, and 1 backup off-site.
And when you have your iMac in for service, if you have just 1 backup at that point in time you have just 1 copy of your data. I get paranoid about my data.
But if you are just making 1 backup, I would use SuperDuper (free for a full clone, and extremely good software, as is Carbon Copy Cloner, but it is not free anymore).
And then I would "Boot" from the clone, to make sure it was a good clone.
Booted from the clone, I would then use Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility to zero the original disk, as suggested by Babowa, so that when they replace the disk, the original disk containing your data is not in the hands of strangers. A single pass of zeros is more than good enough as an erase, as the chances are no one is going to spend the money needed to try and read the erased data. It is not like you have any super secret data, just stuff you do not want the casual data theif to get. You will find the zeroing options under Disk Utility -> Erase -> Security Options
Just make sure you actually boot from your clone before erasing your original. And if you are paranoid like me, make 2 backups, then erase the original :-) -
Since I moved to OS X Maverick, I cannot synchronize my notes from iCloud to my Mac. Any idea how to overcome this? Thanks
I had this problem after updating too. On my Mac, I went into System Preferences>ICloud> and unchecked Notes. Then I restarted my computer and went back to System Preferences and checked Notes. The sync worked fine after that (at least for now!). Must be a bug in the update. Hope this works for you too.

I tied to install OS Mavericks onto my mac and now find there is not enough memory. Any idea how I get back to my original set up. Bit of a novice, so any advice welcome. Thanks.
Not sure what you mean as it shouldn't have installed at all if it didn't meet the system requirements.
But here are some step by step instructions to revert.

All my old legitamately purchased music is on my iPod Touch 64GB 3rd Generation from a desktop in which the hard drive had crashed. The only copies I now have of the music are on the iPod and I want to load them from the iPod to my new Laptop (MacBook) which the iPod is not Synced to.
What do I do in this situation?
I also have much more memory left on the iPod but I can't add songs to it without erasing all of my old music from pretty much all my life...
What can I do?
(Answers such as..."That's why you back up your hard drives or burn or transfer the music on external media..." are not a solution to this problem they are preventive measures...and why isn't the iPod considered a form of external media?)
(Apple...if your answer is what I think it will be which will yield no solution...just keep this situation in mind when you force iTunes upon us. Prove me wrong.)verbalv wrote:

I would like to sign my photos before posting it online. Any idea how this done in Aperture 3.2.4, if possible? Thanks
As Léonie wrote Aperture can add a watermark file to an image on export but I find its ability to do so limited.
Another option is the free plugin BorderFX . It has a lot of capabilities that are very useful when using Aperture. Even if you decide not to use it for this you should check it out.

The problem I have is that there are songs in my library that are no longer on my hard drive. I've either removed them or renamed them. And now, when iTunes comes across one of these song entries it gives the the prompt to locate it. I know that there used to be a way to find all these, but with all the changes in itunes 11, I have no idea how to do it now. Is there an easy way to highlight and delete all of these entries?
"One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space."
I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer. -
iLife apparently was installed on the iMac at the time of the purchase. How do I get the program back on the machine. The Apple "Genius" at the Apple Stpore advised me to go to the iTunes store and get a download. How do THEY know that I have iLife? If the store in fact did install the program at purchase how do you get a copy to reinstall on the machine?
LarryiLife is preinstalled on all the Macs. If you purchased iLife in the App Store or your computer came without DVDs, open App Store > Purchases and download the applications. If your Mac came with discs, insert the Applications DVD and install iLife applications
