My hard drive went and when i got my computer back from being fixed my itunes had been deleted, so i re installed it however my ipad wont connect to the itunes as its not registered to this itune, also all my songs arent on here what do i do?

There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4". Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files. Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen. Do you not have a backup? The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Take it into an Apple store and have it checked out.

You shouldn't have bought any.
They are part of the 1 year standard warranty.
Take it into an Apple store for free replacement (if not user damaged).

My ipod touch 4g 8 gigs is not turning on it wont get past the apple logo its not frozen because it turns the screen black and the apple logo please help me

my ipod touch 4g 8 gigs is not turning on it wont get past the apple logo its not frozen because it turns the screen black and the apple logo please help me

- Try a reset.
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.
- Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
- See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

What do you mean it did not work! What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?
Have you changed your router channel? Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.

My hard drive crashed and when I replaced it, I am unable to sync most of my music. The message "file not found" appears. I have all my music on my . How can I upload these to iCloud or iTunes?

My hard drive crashed and I replaced it. I also switched from ATT to Verizon for my iPhone. Now when I sync with iTunes, only about a tenth of my songs are on the new iPhone. one or two from each album. I still have an iPad with all my songs on it. I subscribed to music match, but when I try on the iPad it wants to match with iTunes and erase a\the music on the iPad. I have no music on iCloud when I sign in. Can anyone help me???

If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows. That will get back your music. I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

HT1349 I had to get a new computer as my hard drive went and lost everything. How do I get my itunes library back?

I had to get a needed to get a new computer as my hard drive died. How do I geatr my ituens library of songs back?

The easy way is from the backup you make of your computer so in case something happens you don't lose anything.
You can download some media files purchased from Apple:
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
This will not reconstruct your library as it was. It just puts the media back. You will have to do playlists, ratings, etc. If you have music from another source you will have to get it from there again.

My hard drive died, how can I get my pictures back from iPad onto a new library on the hard drive?

Hi there,
I have a Mac Book, and as it's a little older, and was getting full, I moved my iPhoto library onto an external hard drive. This external hard drive was always plugged in, and iPhoto used it as it's store so to speak.
However, the hard drive has died which means I now have no access to any of my photo's.
As I sync both my iPad and iPhone to iphoto in it entirity, at the minute I have ALL my photos on both my iPad and my iPhone.
How can I recover the photo's onto my mac or new hard drive from the ipad or iphone? I don't dare plug either in at the minute as I don't want the Sync to remove the photos.
HELP! Please!
James

My iPad wont connect to the wifi, only works on 3G. I have iPhone 4S and its working fine off the wifi.

Please help!! Going crazy. My iPad will not work connected to the wifi. I have an iPhone 4S and its working fine. Any suggestions??

If those things don't work I'd take it into the apple store and have them look at it. I've not heard of wifi antennas 'breaking' but that sure sounds like it.
I had my laptop repaired once and then the wifi stopped connecting unless I was in the same room as the router. Turns out the tech hadn't reattached the antennas. Thing is, I doubt you were in the 'guts' of your iPad so they had to have gone non-functional on their own. And beyond a normal person's ability to fix.

I just got my computer back from Apple - They fixed nothing

Long ago I made a post expressing concerns that none of the animations on my computer were as smooth as my girlfriend's Macbook with the same specs. I tried everything recommended to me, including typing some stuff into the console. Nothing fixed it.
In order to make sure I wasn't just crazy, I downloaded Xbench, a program recommended to me for benchmarking. I was told that my score should be around 100.
That being said, my score does not get above 70. Clearly something is wrong with the graphics processing on my computer because when running to through the graphic benchmarking portion of the test, my girlfriend's computer speeds through it, whereas mine goes fairly slow.
After being completely stumped by the problem, I took my computer to the Apple store nearby to get repaired. The Mac Genius didn't seem to believe that anything was wrong (he refused to acknowledge the benchmarking program) and said he'd have my logic board replaced anyway.
I just recieved my computer today and nothing has changed. I'm still getting low scores on Xbench and none of my animations are as smooth as they should be. What the heck is going on? Is it possible that nothing was actually replaced, or could the problem be stemming from something that isn't on the logic board? A RAM diagnostic didn't turn up anything...

A computer's performance is affected by software or else hardware issues. If the memory chip isn't 'seated' right, hard drive speed or read capacity, whatever. Could be anything. In regards to software, there can be installation issues - people say that a fresh install with all-at-once updating has less problems than an install where you upgrade or "add" to another install. Same goes for updating after you add software applications - it is just more complex and less efficient. But there are so MANY ways to tune a computer. What about energy saving settings (vs "performance")? Also the more ikons you have on your desktop the more RAM is used. It is a learning curve you can begin by opening Activity Monitor. You want to watch how much RAM is used, disk activity, startup activities running in the background (display saver on or off?) and so on. CPU activity (and temperature) is a big indicator.
If you are hoping to someone here to post "one thing" that points to your concern, I doubt that will happen. Sometimes hardware is manufactured 2nd rate (the Seagate Drive issue from months back) and you MIGHT have a poor quality part in your machine. Not often though. Diagnosis takes time and patience. If you are in a hurry take heart in the fact that Macs have a great resell value and get rid of it / buy fresh, upgrade to the Santa Rosa - better video. (Or offer money & a trade for your GFs - maybe speed isn't as important to her).
If it were me I would try a fresh (erase) install & download all the updates at once. This is recommended by posters here. It is often posted that a new software update 'slows' a machine from prior to the update. I don't have an answer for why, except that the times I downloaded all-in-one updates I had less slowdown problems. It is a pain, though. And it may not 'fix' things. That's the reality of performance trouble-shooting, though. It's real life & it ain't fair.
Another way to go is to upgrade the performance through a new hard drive (7200 RPM).
Another thing to try is Opera / Firefox. I find Safari inconsistent - sometimes fast, next day slow. Opera and Firefox can really fly in comparison.
You are right to be annoyed. The logic of the situation is that a mass-manufactured unit should be measurably consistent (and it obviously isn't). The sad part is that these things can take so much effort to determine, it may not be worth your while to find out 'why'.

"you cannot open the application because its not supported on this type of mac" error

I've used this particular application since I bought my new iMac. Its an app downloaded from the Internet. I've tried to uninstall and download multiple times with no luck. Apple Support advised me to clear out my caches. I did. No luck. Apple Support had me create a "Test User" and the app worked. How do I get the app to open with my normal username?

Trash the plist file, repair permissions and restart your computer. Problem resolved?

Go here for an iPod to PC step by step instructions using 3rd party software http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/
Then soon as you do this back up ASAP by going here http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/backup/
If your harddrive ever crashes again, and you connect your iPod to that empty iTunes library, or your PC crashes and your iPod starts acting up you will be screwed if you don't have a backup

I had to have my hard drive replaced, and I lost my Firefox Bookmarks. I don't know if I ever had a sync account or not. Is tehre a means to access my old bookmarks?

My laptop hard drive crashed last week and I had to have it replaced. I had been using Firefox for about 18 months and had stored a number of GREAT websites for my career search. When I got my computer back from the shop, I had to reload all of my programs on the new hard drive. When I reloaded Firefox, t did not have my bookmarks, as i expected. The technicians that repaired my computer said that Firefox stores bookmarks remotely and i should be about to retrieve them. However, I never knew about the sync options. Hence, my guess is I am sunk. Any thoughts

"I thought I saved my songs to DVD, however I have no clue how to retrieve them"
Depending on whether you saved your files to DVD in folders or just as a group of files, put the DVD into your computer, open iTunes and go to Add folder to Library or Add File to Library. Navigate to the DVD and add your files back into iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import and Convert functions
"now I try to disconnect my ipod from itunes it says it cannot be ejected as it contains files that are in use by another application"
By any chance do you have McAfee ActiveScan or any other disk scanning software installed on on your PC? If so try switching it off before you eject.

My hard drive went and when i got my computer back from being fixed my itunes had been deleted, so i re installed it however my ipad wont connect to the itunes as its not registered to this itune, also all my songs arent on here what do i do?
