My laptop is dead and I need to remote access my files, is this possible?
I'm at my parent's place for the weekend and I forgot to bring my charger, I have an essay to finish for Monday but my laptop it completely dead! Is there any way i can remote access my files on their desktop?
yes, but I'm sure you won't do that.
take off back cover from MBP
detach HD
download fresh Ubuntu Live CD
burn it
install Mac HD into desktop. Be careful to not short circut something.
find USB stick
you're ready.
boot from Ubuntu live
go to Macintosh HD - Users - your user - documents
find needed document there
insert USB stick
copy document to it
shutdown
remove Mac HD from PC, set it back to mac
reboot Pc, remove ubuntu DVD
find your documents on USB stick.
sure you want all that mess?

My LAPTOP is broken and I need to SINCRO my iPhone to a new PC. ANY HELP?
my LAPTOP is broken and I need to SINCRO my iPhone to a new PC. ANY HELP?
The right way is to restore the backup that you should have kept of your broken laptop before it was broken to your new PC.
As a much more complex and expensive alternative, see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -
I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality -
My laptop crashed completely and I need to authorize a new laptop to enable it sync with itunes. I have 5 computers authorized so I am unable to add another one so I need to unauthorize the bad laptop that is no longer working. How do I authorize new Laptop?
You can only deauthorize everything to do that. Click on Account under Quick Links. You can deauthorize all five there. But you can only do this once a year.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.
So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there? -
i have recently bought an iphone 5 and have synced it with my girlfriends laptop and taken some of her music. i have also bought music off my iphone. i want to sync the iphone with my parents imac and take some of my dads music. Is this possible without wiping the iphone?
An iOS device can only be synced with one iTunes library.

I need a remote access application
I need a remote access application for my Mac OS X 10.5.8 so that when I'm at my home office I can access my remote business office network that uses PCs. Is there an application I can download to do this? Is Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac what I need? I am not a technical person at all so I need something simple.
You didn't specify what kind access? Control and observe or just simple file sharing/access.
How do you plan on getting into your office's network? do you have a VPN setup? If not, are the correct ports open and forwarded on the main router?
Lots of unknown variables here. Without knowing what's in place it'll be hard to steer you in the right direction once you figure out what type of access you need.
If Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection is definitely what you want to use, then please post further question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums -
I've just updated itunes and it has disappeared from my PC- the previous shortcut won't work and it can't locate on my file search- this is the second time this has happened when updating itunes- APPLE you seem to be going down the tubes slowly but surely..
its not apple going "down the tubes" its that you have windows junk. These opinion best left at apple.com/feedback

I have a video I 'm editing and some of the shot taken (on the left and right) I would like to remove. Is this possible to do ? If so, how?
If you mean there are parts of the picture at the sides you want to remove, you have at least 2 choices.
You can mask the edges of the frame or enlarge it so that the left and right sides are outside the picture area.
The latter suggestion will reduce the quality of the video and you will also lose an equal amount from the topand bottom, though you could slide the image up or down. -
One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?
Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.) -
Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?
HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess.... -
I have this massage every time close ps cc
Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder.You may get better help in Photoshop General Discussion

I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?
Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.
