My imac was stuck on an update. I shut it off. It then was stuck in startup. Now I have my os disk also stuck
My computer was stuck doing an update. I shut it off. When I started it later, it was stuck on start up. 8 hours later I threw in the os disk and now I have that stuck in there also.
Help!
I would restart the computer holding the mouse or Trackpad button down to force the install disc out of the ODD. I would do a Safe Boot to try and get the computer to start. Repair Disk would be the next step per rkaufmann87 that I would do.
However, if you have Lion installed, why was the computer's install disc inserted?

My iMac was stolen the receipt doesn't have the serial number but I did register the computer so Aplle must have a record of it. How do I get it.
Go to the Apple website and your support profile. It should list that iMac and the serial number for it. You'll need your Apple ID and password for that Apple ID.

my iphone 4 is stuck on the reboot logo, ive ried holding both home and power to shut it off snd then keep holding home to let you plug it into itunes but it doesnt work. what do i do?
Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I have a powermac G5 running 10.5.8 I kept getting a screen that told me to upgrade, which I did, then was told it was not compatible and now I have nothing.
How can I get back to my old system or download one that will work.'''bold text'''Firefox 4+ versions don't support the old Power PC architecture.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?
Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center. -

Until latest update, I used to type in URL and hit enter. Now I have to click on the arrow. Any way to change back that older feature?
That issue can be caused by the AVG Safe Search extension

IMac Awakes Unscheduled - Time Machine Updates - Reverts to Full Off
My iMac is manually placed in sleep mode at night. This morning it would not awake normally. However, startup achieved only through on/off button.
Follows are the first 5 entries from All Messages (console):
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM kernel System Wake
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM kernel USB caused wake event (EHCI)
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM kernel E:[AppleUSBBluetoothHCIController][StartInterruptPipeRead] ClearPipeStall failed with error 0xe00002ed.
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM kernel [InterruptReadHandler] Received kIODeviceNotResponding error - retrying: 1.
8/26/08 2:45:48 AM mDNSResponder[23] NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.0.1:53
These messages indicate that the iMac was provoked into unscheduled awakening at 2:45 AM.
There are further entries covering the following few seconds, but no "obvious" indication when full shut down was achieved (all messages have been retained).
Are there any explanations for why this awakening/shut down took place?
Advised further steps on my part?Executing "Repair Disk" from Disk Utility (bootable backup) reveals no obvious problem.
Unless this becomes a known fluke, I'll just wait until the next time it occurs.
I now suspect that this has happened at least two other times in the past 9 months. I say this because I found that it was necessary to use the on/off button to activate the iMac (which should have been in sleep mode). On those occasions, however, I failed to check the Console for confirming messages... -
I recently updated to Ios 5 and moved from MobileMe to the icloud. Now I have duplicate contacts on my phone - like 8 of each person! How do I get rid of them? My calendar is finally in sync....
I turned off syncing from Itunes and said yes to deleting them from the phone and now I only have one contact per person.
It only took a few hours to get past the fear of delete
hope this helps -

Firefox was fine on my LapTop earlier today, Now, I have no access or visualization of the Main Menu Listings that are usually just below the title bar,i,e,,File,Edit,View,History,Bookmarks, Helpetc. Since I don' have access (it's not there), I cannot change settings. I have uninstalled and re-installed and it re-installs the same way.
* In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
* Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

HT5457 I update my iPhone with iOS 6 softwar it,s ok but now i have activation problem.
I update my iPhone 3Gs with iOS 6 software it<s ok but now i have activation problem?
How did you get the unlock for your 3GS? If you recently updated to
iOS 6 and your SIM stopped working after the update, the most
likely reason is that your iPhone had been hacked/jailbroken/modified
to work with your Carrier and the update relocked the iPhone to the
original Carrier.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
If it does not name your current cellular provider, then the scenario
is as I laid out above. In this situation, Google may help as you can
get no assistance here for jailbroken iPhones.
If that is not the problem, give some more details and someone will
answer. -
I need to get all restored files out of the restore folderson my desktop and back to their original locations. Please help!
What system are you running? If it's Mt. Lion go to the App Store and sign in with the Apple ID you used to purchase the Mac. Go to Purchases and download iPhoto again. The current version is 9.4.3.
If you're unable to download iPhoto from the App Store you can reomstall iPhoto from the iLife 11 disk and update it from the Apple Downloads website to the highest version you can get to (I was able to update all the way to 9.4.3 via the updaters). Then if iPhoto can't open the library use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild it and it will rebuild it compatible with your version of iPhoto via this iPLM tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

Can anyone awnser this?
- You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
However, you only can download the current version of app.
- For apps your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
