Did my kids mess with my mail? Its missing!

Found my darling 2 & 3yo's sitting at my MAC and now I can't access any mail already downloaded to my mailboxes.
I just have the email info header & the message contains, "The message from Apple <[email protected]> concerning “Introducing the all-new MacBook and MacBook Pro.” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
What could have my kids done? How do I fix?
Any help would be appreciated. I have a stack of work emails I need to get stuck into tonight.

Go to Mail menu Mailbox>Online Status and if any accounts are offline, change them to online (i.e. if it says 'Take [account name] online' then select this to do so). (If your account is IMAP then you have to be online to read the messages).
And never, never, never allow small children to sit in front of an unsecured computer! It's a recipe for a lot worse then getting a mail account taken offline.

Connecting my iPod messes with my computer.

I am having a problem with my iPod. I have tried connecting it to 5 diffrent computers and the same thing happens.
About 50% of the time I plug my iPod into a computer using the USB 2.0, the computer turns itself off and back on. Then if I leave the iPod plugged in the computer wont start up it will just stay the the first screen that appears.
I have plugged it into computers with:
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Mac OS 9.0
Ubuntu 7.10
Every time the same thing happens.

When you do get it to connect you might find that it helps to disable drive letter access. The are various background processes such as anti-virus and indexing software that may be competing for access to the iPod when it's announced by the file system.

I was messing with the computer, not sure what i hit but now all my toolbars at the top of the screen are gone? (file, edit, history, tools and my forward and back button). Please help me get these settings back to the way they were?

My file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, and help buttons at the top of the screen are gone, along with my forward and back button.

For details of how to restore it, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing
Once the menu bar is restored, you can use the Toolbars entry in the View menu to restore other toolbars such as the navigation toolbar.

Newest iTunes update: screen size is blown up. How to make it normal without messing with the computer's dimensions

Ok, so before the big change in iTunes, the iTunes window fit perfectly on the screen and there were no issues. Now, the iTunes window is blown up largely where I cannot even see my scroll bar. Even if I change the dimensions of the computer screen, nothing is working. Help!

Resize the iTunes Window.

Messed with System/Library files now computer won't start

Ok, I wanted to go about fixing a Photoshop issue I had with 10.4.6. So I replace the following files with the files from 10.4.5...
/System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppleShareClientCore.framework
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppleshareClient.framework
My network drive went all haywire and I tried to replace the files with the original 10.4.6 files. After that did not solve the problem, I downloaded and used Pacifist to retreive the files from Mac OS X 10.4.6 for PPC downloaded from Apple. After replacing the /System/Library/ from this file, my computer went completely haywire and would not shutdown, start any aps or do anything. Now it won't work at all.
Am I completely screwed? I don't want to have to wipe everything (I have Quark on there that I no longer have a disk for) but I think I may have to.
Please if you have any suggestions for this stupid idiot, who should not have messed with their computer, they would be so welcomed!
Thanks!

Is someone messing with me, or are things just screwed up?

yesterday fonts were not connecting in apps. today, pdf presets went away, disk utility not showing the same mounted drives as the finder, ect. ect. Is someone maliciously messing with my computer or are things just breaking all of the time?
no one here can fiddle with macs, and AI is not present.

Well, of course it did. Not only did you revert to an older system that doesn't have problems with whatever older software you're using, but you erased the hard drive and reinstalled the system, wiping out any possible issues caused by system corruption. In the absence of any troubleshooting, that doesn't tell you anything about Mountain Lion.
At some point in the future, you will have to upgrade. When you do, you will have more success if you do the following:
1) Check all your software for compatibility with the new system.
2) Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
3) Make a full backup of your whole system using Time Machine.
4) Ideally, make a second full backup of your whole system using something else, like Carbon Copy Cloner. (I consider two backups to be the minimum.)
5) Wait until you have time to deal with any possible problems that crop up.
6) Install the upgrade.
Some people recommend erasing your hard drive and installing the new system "cleanly." That certainly helps ensure that you don't have any problems with the new system, but is often unnecessary. I prefer to save clean installs for when they are actually necessary, but that is only an opinion. You can certainly choose to do a clean install if you prefer.

I need to backup all the music on my nano - my library is a mess with all my kids music

I am sending in my 1st generation ipod nano for battery replacement. I need to back up all the music on my nano. My library is a huge mess with all of my kids music. How do I just get everything on my nano in a playlist without getting mixed in the library mess?

You will need to use a third-party program, you computer's iTunes can only copy iTunes purchases back (File > Transfer Purchases, File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). There are a number of programs listed half-way down this page which you could try : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Currently using Photoshop CS5, but with a replacement computer and upgrade to Yosemite, keep being told I need to install the legacy Java 6. Currently, Photoshop won't even open. I absolutely do not want to subscribe, don't want to mess with the cloud, just want to buy an upgrade to something that will run for a while longer. I don't care about Lightroom, Bridge, Illustrator, etc.; most of those I've deleted over the years. But I do use Photoshop - or would if it would still run. What options do I have?

This is the java you need for photoshop cs5 to work on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
It's also possible you may have to reinstall photoshop cs5 even after installing the above java, because sometimes the upgrade to mac os x 10.10 messes up the photoshop cs5 installation.
You can download photoshop cs5 from here if you don't already have the install media.

Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I connect ipods to new computer it says I have to erase all the app, etc to sync with new computer. Is there anyway to sync to the new computer w/out losing all data?

Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I try to connect them to new computer it says I need to erase all data, apps, etc. to sync with new computer. It is saying that it can only be connected to one library at a time. Is their anyway around this without having ot erase all their stuff?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

Kid messed up my passcode and i can't get into my ipod touch.

My kid was messing with my ipod and changed the passcode, and don't know what she changed it to
I can"t get i to unlock.
i have tried to go to iTunes and restore, but it brings up a "RESTORE and Update" message up.
When i click on this it starts to download and says it will take 18 min :: next I know it will take 60 min :::then 5 hr. to Download
I tried push ::off home and power and let power go. then plug back into iTunes to start as new user, but it comes back to the
Restore and update downloader that my pc won"t download
All i wan't to do is get it to unlock so i can use it again
Any help????
THANKS

Hi ..
If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
Instructions for putting the device in recovery mode > iOS: Unable to update or restore
"If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Mess with accounts in OneNote and OneDrive for Business - can't open documents from Office 365

Hello!
[Reposted from
here]
I've got Office 365 subscription (E3) with Office.
I can view and edit OneNote notebooks on Office 365 via browser, but can't open it in OneNote.
The similar problem exists for OneDrive for Business - some libraries are syncing, some cannot - asking for Enter credentials, but when I click - nothing happens.
There were two accounts bound to Office 2013 - personal Microsoft ID as primary account and corporate Office 365 linked to it.
Windows 8.1 corporate profile is linked to Microsoft ID account as well.
Something happen with these accounts after password was changed - it seems like some account information was cached and can't be cleaned.
I tried to uninstall Office and install it - no success.
I cleaned computer with
this utility from Support - no luck.
On other Windows 8.1 computer I created new profile (with Microsoft ID account) - surprise, there are problems there as well.
I deleted all Office15 entries from Credentials Manager - Office asked me about Office 365 login/password - I entered them, it is syncing, Haliluja, but, when Microsoft ID account was linked to Office 365 account in Office - problem appears again.
It seems that Office 2013 uses Microsoft ID credentials for Office 365 content.
I'd like to use Microsoft ID as primary account for Office and link Office 365 account to it, but don't want such problems. It worked fine, but I don't know what happened and how it can be analyzed and fixed.
Update: It seems I localized the problem, but still don't know the solution.
Scenario to reproduce error for me:
1. Create fresh new Corporate/Domain user profile on Windows 8.1 with Office Pro 365 installed on computer with latest updates
2. Go to SharePoint Online and browse some Libraries and OneNote notebooks - all ok
3. Start to sync them using OneNote and OneDrive for Business - ok
4. Link Microsoft Account with Corporate Account in Windows 8.1 - ok
5. Syncing of _some_ (not all) Office 365 libraries and notebooks stop working - errors with access, permissions. I'm trying to enter credentials but this doesn't help
6. Disconnect Microsoft Account and Reboot - all libraries and notebooks of Office 365 work fine again. But OneNote notebooks from OneDrive stop working :)
How I can fix this situation and have Microsoft and Corporate account connected?

Update 2:
I installed PowerShell for SharePoint online cmdlets and found this user using get-SPOUser.
I removed this user using remove-SPOUser -site
https://mysitename.sharepoint.com -LoginName
[email protected]
but when I'm trying to access sharepoint from the browser with Microsoft account credentials - new record for this user is created again and I can see it with get-SPOUser :(
So, problem is still not solved - this user is still can be authenticated (there is no such user in SharePoint site collection, there is no such user profile) and Office 2013 syncing doesn't work for Office 365 due this mess with accounts.
I know that I can remove Sharing with external users from Site Collection and information about these users will be permanently deleted - but I don't want to do this, there are several customers who work with our documents.

[865PE/G Neo2 Series] I Messed Up My Computer Really Bad

Wow. Where to begin.
I was in my BIOS looking at DRAM timings and Frequencies... noticed that there for DDR500 it had (4:5), which I presume means the RAM runs out-of-sync with the processor. I tried it out to see what it would do.
Well, my computer wouldn't boot. And it wouldn't revert back to default BIOS settings which it normally does when I set something in the BIOS that it doesn't like. And I thought the appropriate course of action in this situation was to reset the CMOS battery. Evidently it was not the right thing to do, because it screwed everything up royally.
After resetting, I booted up and saw some CoreCell logo which I've NEVER seen before, ever. Instead of going to the screen which shows the Energy Star logo and lists all my hardware being checked, it goes to a couple lines saying something about Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller. It busies itself for a few seconds, then says 'Boot Failed. Insert Boot Disk and press any Key'. Uh-oh.
I restart and try to get into my BIOS. It gives me options of either press F1 to go into Setup or F2 to Load Defaults or some damn thing. Eventually I get into the BIOS and its blue instead of red, like it always has been. All my options are obliterated - it doesn't even list any hard drives anywhere. Evidently it isn't recognizing either of my hard drives. I go into my motherboard manual and find the section about On-Chip IDE configuration. I don't even remember what the hell these settings were on before I screwed everything up. ATA Configuration was on PATA Only, SATA Keep Enabled was set to No. I don't know why because both of my drives are SATA.
I try setting SATA Keep Enabled to Yes, then reboot. It boots, and I'm finally here back in Windows. My system clock was five years off, but my data is here. It also detected some new Audio Hardware, but i just canceled.
Good god, someone please help me out here. I'm afraid to even shut off my computer or even mess with anything for fear of not even being able to get back into Windows.

OK, I went into the BIOS and put everything back to how it should be. A few things were strange though:
The order of the devices in Standard CMOS Features is different then it used to be. Before, the DVD drive was Primary IDE Master, the CD-RW the Primary IDE Slave, my boot HDD was Third IDE Master and my data HDD Fourth IDE Master. Now, my boot HDD is Primary IDE Master, data HDD is Secondary IDE Master, DVD Drive is Third IDE Master and CD-RW is Third IDE Slave.
Some of the voltages and frequencies were set to strange values. I thought the default AGP voltage was 1.5 and DDR voltage default 2.5. When I went into the BIOS the AGP voltage was 1.7 and the DDR Voltage 2.75. Before this all happened I had them set at 1.6 and 2.8 respectively. I changed them to those values and it booted fine. The 1.7 in particular worried me a little, because I remember reading somewhere that upping AGP voltage too far can do nothing but harm.
Its still a blue screen instead of red. I know this is trivial, but when the color's different, one tends to think that some setting is different, or the version is different, somehow. There isn't any background color setting in the BIOS that I know of.
I know I was overreacting a little, but it was too late at night and all I could think of was how I couldn't access the ten-page research paper that's on my hard drive, due in a couple days.
