My imac volume buttons F10 - 12 now show the calculator, weather etc and i cant control the volume - any ideas

My imac has now started showing the weather, calender, clock etc when you press f10-12 for the volume. How do you get it back to normal?

Try this:
System Preferences > Keyboard - Keyboard tab - uncheck "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys."

I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

HT4623 after an update my iPhone 4 has frozen with just the apple screen visible. I have tried connecting to iTunes but now iTunes isn't locating my iPhone. I have tried reseting the phone several times and that isn't working. Any ideas?

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

Hey, did you get any help on this? I'm having the same issue.

What do you do when the music bar dissapears and you cant use the sound buttons

I went to play music and pressed the volume button on the side of my ipad. It was not working at all so i double pressed the home screen and slid all the way to the right and found the circular icon was gone along with the bar showing how loud the music is. Ive reset my ipad and have found its still gone. What can I do to fix it?!?!?!?!

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. Note: While the article is written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting steps are applicable in this situation.

I have installed Firefox 4 but the "New Tab" button has disappeared. I have searched toolbars etc. but can't see it. Any ideas, please?

My "New Tab" button has disappeared off the toolbar. I have searched the toolbar menus and "Customise Toolbar" but it's just not there. Back, Forward, Stop and Reload buttons are all there.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar. 
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions. 
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it. 
*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.

The submit button on my form will not show the word SUBMIT. I type it in but as soon as I take the form out of edit mode SUBMIT disappears. The background is yellow and SUBMIT is in black. Any ideas?

I can't make the word SUBMIT stay visible on the submit button

Yes. They need to download Reader and then disable Google Chrome's internal PDF viewer and enable Adobe Reader.
FireFox should also be configured to use Adobe Reader and not the internal PDF viewer.
The internal viewers are created to process PDF documents by not including the features and code to process PDF forms.

My touch shows the connect to itunes with usb on screen however when i try to do so it says it cannot connect because it is locked with a passcode. It will not let me enter the code on the ipod or computer. so i cant do anything. Any ideas?

I have tried rebooting it. nothing seems to help. it always ends up with the same screen a picture prompting me to hook up via usb to itunes.Then without fail i get an error message. itunes connpt connect to the ipod touch because it is locked with a passcode. you need to enter the passcode on the ipod touch first. unfortunately the touch will not show any other screen but the connect to itunes.

Connect the iPod touch to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it to factory setting. See this article for instructions on getting your device into Recovery Mode.

My phone was dropped by my baby and now it has lines on it and I cant unlock the home screen. Please help

My phone was dropped this morning by my toddler. It now has vertical lines across part of the screen and when I try to swipe the phone open nothing happens. Any suggestions

Some Apple stores are able to replace the screen on the iPhone 5, but they need to test it to be sure there are no other things wrong after the drop. Take it to an Apple store genius bar and see what they can find and what they say to do with it.

I bought a camera connection kit. First time it worked fine, using the USB connector, but now neither the USB or SD connector works. The iPad shows a connector is attached, but Photos doesn't open. Any ideas? thanks

If you have not done so, try exiting the Photo app (and maybe more apps if you have a lot open) from the Open Apps List and see if a discount/reconnect opens the app. If that does not work, try powering down the iPad and test. If it is still not working try a hard reset by pressing both Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time until the Apple graphic appears, ignoring the Slide to Power Off button.

For a "hard" restart of your iPad just press the home and power button at the same time and hold it for at least 10-15 sec. until it restarts.

When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial. Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial. Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

Lets clear a couple of things up first.
1, You have the Photographers CC subscription which gives you access to PSCC and the current version of Lightroom.
2. PSCC does not include Lightroom.
Now what you will need to do is delete the Lightroom app on your iMac and restart the Mac. Then you can d/load Lightroom from the CC app.

Iphoto is hosed, now shows iphoto 2.0.1 and no library

Some how my iphoto app got hosed. Now when I click on iphoto 2.0.1 comes up with no library. I think it is finding an old version on the second drive. The good thing is that my library in the pictures folder is in tack and i can open it with photoshop elements 3. Apples download site will not allow me to install a later version because it says I do not have an eligible copy. I ran all the suites on TTP an everything check out ok. Since I am still using OS 10.3.9 maybe its time to upgrade to 10.4 and ilife. I cannot import pictures but does anyone have a temporary fix I could try until I can get a copy of 10.4. What is the best way to install 10.4?
Any help would be appreciated
Ron

Ron:
Find that old copy of iPhoto 2.0.1 and delete it. Then check in your Pictures folder and see how many iPhoto Library folders there are. Check the sizes of those folders and move the smaller/empty one to the desktop. Now find your iPhoto 6 application and launch it with the Option key depressed. When iPhoto tells you it can't find the library, select Find and navigate to your Pictures folder and select the iPhoto Library folder in there.
If you don't have a V6 version you'll have to reinstall it from the iLife 06 disk.
