My ibook has returned home

About a week and a half ago, my Mac crashed and I needed a new hard drive. Not sure how this happened (neither is Mac), but It's back and I am trying to set everything back up (this is the worst, I lost everything) I just found out that being a .Mac member I get backup for free. I'm just trying to figure out how to use it. Any suggestions? I just wanted to let everyone know a few things about my experience with sending my mac back, it was great. I sent it out on a Tuesday, it was fixed and back in the mail to me on Thursday. They told me 10 days. I would also suggest to anyone who does not have Applecare to research and make the investment, I was lucky I have 1 month left on my new warranty and then I have to get Apple care. Just a side note for anyone who has an IPOD, when I was at my local Mac store to see if they could fix my computer, I was there for 1 hour and saw about 7 ipods come in with problems, because some were under warranty or had Applecare, they just walked away with a "new" one, those who had nothing had to either buy a new iPod or pay for repairs which were going to be more than a new one. Just wanted to share.

As for using backup. Access your iDisk, then there should be a software folder, which contains the backup app. There are a number of settings you can use, but of course unless you pay for extra disk space, your iDisk is rather limited, only a few GBs.

My iPhone 4S keeps losing connection and turning off, and i am unable to turn it back on again without the charger, but it turns on when i press the button and regains signal fine once i return home?

Hi
I have recently bought a white iPhone 4S on Tuesday, and it has been repeatedly loosing all connection and just suddenly switching off.
When this happens I am unable to turn the phone back on again without a power source plugged into it. When I try to remove the phone from the power source it goes completely dead again.
However, the most recent time this has happened (today), as soon as I returned home the phone had no problem starting up as normal when I pressed the power button.
The signal was working fine even though it says 'searching' in the left hand top corner of the screen. I am wondering if my WIFI at home is influencing the phone to work inside the household?
This is a problem that needs to be sorted out ASAP because the phone is not working the majority of the time when I need it to.
Please if you have any suggestions or know the cause of this problem inform me straight away.
Would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it. See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

IBooks has not been able to load or update for weeks. IPad2 Running 5.1.1

iBooks has not been able to load or update for weeks...stuck.
IPad2 Running 5.1.1

- What is the exact wording of the error message?
- What happens when yu try to update to iOS 5.1? Error messages?
- Try 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.
- Next would be to restore from backup. This will also update the iOS.
- Then restore to factory defaults/new iPod which will also update the iOS.

Hi, please can someone help me?
Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

Hello melissa82686,
From your description, it sounds like you may have been using the SMS feature of Continuity in iOS 8. If this is the case and it has somehow become misconfigured after a recent change, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
SMS
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
Sincerely,

My iPad mini iBook has a white blank screen. How do I fix it?

My iPad mini iBook has a white blank screen. How do I fix it?

Do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. Also, make sure it is plugged into an electrical outlet so it is on the charger.

Can anyone help me, I work on my mac air most days and would like certain folders to automatically update onto my iMac when i return home, is there a way of doing this? Many thanks.

Is there a simple way of linking the same excel folder on my imac and mac air, so as the one on my imac would automacily update when i return home, from the mac air? Fairly new to all this, so any help would be appreciated.

Open a Finder window and you should have a folder called iClouDrive in your home folder. Drag your documents or folders you want to share into this folder and it will be available on your other computer (look in the same folder).
As already mentioned Dropbox is a good solution; however, I like to use my free 5 GB from Apple's iCloud because I am not using very much space there. I reserve my Dropbox for other uses such as family photo and recipe sharing.
Good luck!

Old ibook has died; Can I get my thesis off hard-drive and on to macbook?

Howdy,
My trusty old ibook has finally died (which is understandable; it is some six years old and has been around the world with me, and has served me well)... however, i didn't have the foresight to get some very important files (my thesis among them) backed up elsewhere...
When I attempt to turn on the ibook, the screen stays black, i hear one or two chirps, and then nothing... if i put my ear close, i can hear the extremely soft sound of something spinning (the harddrive, i assume).
I have attempted to access the ibook harddrive by connecting it to my new macbook via firewire and starting up the ibook while pressing "T", but to no avail; it does not appear on the macbook as a disk, or anything at all.
Is there anything else I can try to access the important data on my ibook, and transfer files onto my macbook? Thank you so much for any help and advice... it will be much appreciated!
love,
dewfall

Dewfall:
Ronda's suggestion to try Disk Warrior is a good idea. Actually there are three excellent directory maintenance and repair utilities (including Disk Warrior): Tech Tool Pro, Disk Warrior and DriveGenius
These all do a great job of repairing directories and have revived many a seemingly dead HDD. TechTool Pro and DriveGenius do a number of other things, and even they you purchase one of these and it does not work, it is a good tool to have in your toolkit. I own both TechTool Pro and Disk Warrior and use one or the other at least monthly.
However, your main concern at the moment is to rescue your data, and if the drive is viable at all, placing it in an enclosure and connecting to another mac will help. The directions linked in my earlier post are very explicit and helpful. The enclosure linked there is the best price I have seen anywhere, and it does have the more reliable Oxford 911+ chipset. If you decide to remove the HDD here are few tips you may find helpful:
• Print out the ifixit directions as well as the screw guide ahead of time.
• Be sure you have the right tools. You don't want to damage the screw heads or you may never get them out. And the Torx 8 screw driver is critical.
• I use small medicine cups one for the screws in each step. I nest them so that the last ones out and the first to go back in are on top. You can use an ice cube tray, egg carton, dixie cups etc. (Some users report cutting up the screw guide and placing the applicable section in each container.)
• Be very careful pulling out leads. Hold the lead as close to the plug as possible and wiggle (the plug ) to loosen its grip. Don’t hold the wires and pull as that can damage the cable, or worse, in some instances pull the wires out of the plug. Use needle nose pliers if you can access the plug, or nudge the plug with a small instrument to help loosen its grip.
• Use force gently in removing parts. Separating upper and lower case takes some doing. Use a plastic tool (spudge) so as not to leave marks.
• Refer to the screw guide when reassembling computer. Putting longer screws in the wrong place can perforate the circuit board.
Please do post back should you have further questions or comments.
Cheers

How do I hook up a G3 iBook to my home network with only Windows machines?

I'm completely ignorant of Apple technology but pretty good for a novice with Windows PC's. To help a family member with an iBook (Mac OS 10.3.9) back up a gazillion family photos (at least 3.2GB in the iPhoto Library), we want to connect his iBook to my home network with two Windows machines (one of which is connected via UBS to an external drive for backup). But before I just connect his iBook to an Ethernet port on my Westell modem+router, what should I know?
I need to know all the basics and all the steps, in as detailed a manner as you can stand to tell me.
And when it all looks good, what are the steps to copy the iPhoto Library to a designated spot on one of the Windows machines (or that external hard drive)?
By the way, this is the iBook:
Machine Model: iBook
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (2.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 640 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.6.4f1
System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98)
Kernel Version: Darwin 7.9.0
Many thanks!

Hello,
When I got my first mac this ( http://macs.about.com/cs/tipstutorials/a/xposxsharing.htm ) article helped me enormously.
It's very easy to write to the disc once you've set up the network.
On the mac locate the iPhoto library (normally open finder and click on pictures).
Open another finder window and locate the windows PC on your network, then mount the folder to which you will back up the iPhoto library.
Drag the iPhoto library to this folder.
Wait.
Wait some more.
When the copy is complete check the images can be accessed from the PC.
Unmount the folder from the mac by dragging it to the trash.
Congratulations.
Beware though, if you're like me you'll find this apple thing adicitve!!!

HT4059 Being new to iBook publishing I need to know if stats are available to determine how many times my iBook has been downloaded. Can anyone help please? Mr Ignorant

Being new to iBook publishing I need to know if stats are available to determine how many times my iBook has been downloaded. Can anyone help please? I need to persuade someone that this really is worthwhile. Mr Ignorant.

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

I can comment to messages on my wall and other profiles, the news feed is updating in time too, i can also log-in and out to facebook with no problem, as well as other applications on my phone like foursquare, BBm, ubersocial, BB protect, BB app world, etc, are all working perfectly fine. And now I don't know what seems to be the problem.
I've already contacted my network provider and told me that the error i'm getting is beyond their scope.
Is anybody having the same problem as mine?

I don't know how to reinstall it...

I have customized my Firefox toolbar. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?

I have customized my Firefox toolbar several times. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it each time. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?
It has occurred with Firefox 4.0.1 and 5.0

see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Take a picture of your toolbars so you can easily reconstruct them from the default after solving the the problem.
If it happens to you it will probably happen again in the future so you might want to keep some copies of your modified localstore.rdf file so you can delete the bad one and rename one of the replacements in waiting. Saving, copying and renaming must be done with Firefox down, of course.

I can't connect to the router in my home. Things were working fine as usual - I attended school and connected to their WiFi network as usual. When I returned home I could not connect to my own home router. The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens

I can't connect to the router in my home. The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens. I went to school and connected to their WiFi network as usual with no problems. When I returned home I could not connect to my home router. The Ipad seeks the router number but nothing happens. I rebooted the Ipad a few times in the school. The numbers identifying the router, etc. on my Ipad no longer appear there.
TThe Ipad guide says to connect to the WiFi use setup but I can't find the setup program in the Ipad.
I reset the network settings to the factory defaults but this doesn't fix the problem.
What can I do to reconnect to my home router?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Once an iBook has been exported to the iPad, how can that book be moved to a different iPad or back to iBooks Author?

You can't simply move it directly between iPads.
In your example, you'd find that .ibook file in your iTunes account on your computer and then email or sync it to the school's iPad. Similar to how you did with yours....maybe you got it off a server and can repeat that process.
Then delete it off your iPad and either delete or flag your copy in iTunes to not be put back when you sync in the future.

My ibook has returned home
