My new iPhone5 was synced to a year old backup of previous iphone4. How do I correct this?

My new iPhone5 was synced to a year-old backup of my iPhone4 during setup. I do not have a current back-up of iPhone4 but still have the phone. Can this problem be corrected?

..and back-ups through iTunes should be done much more frequently than annual!
I do mine weekly.

My "Notes" app on my iPhone 4S is no longer syncing up with my "Notes" app on my PC or on my iPad. It was syncing up fine before. But no longer. How do I fix this so that whatever I type in iPhone "Notes" will appear in my other devices' "Notes"?

I recently began getting an error message: "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." How can I correct this?

I'm getting the following message when I try to sync my iPhone in iTunes: "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." This message began appearing a few days ago. Before that, the sync function worked just fine. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Whenever I click on a link, firefox opens a new tab instead of opening the link in the existing tab. How do I correct this?

I open firefox and type in CNN(or any other item). When the link appears I click on it. Instead of opening in the existing tab, firefox opens a new tab.

Thank you for this information. I love learning new things!

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

wait until you reach the limit of five authorized machines. then, once a year, you will be able to deauthorize all machines, following which you can reauthorize those computers you currently use/have access to.

Will new Firefox Account sync (PC) with my old Firefox Home (iPhone), if so how?

Will new Firefox Account sync (PC) with my old Firefox Home (iPhone), if so how?
Do I need to update my iPhone Firefox Home sync app? It currently uses my old account.
Thank you

Firefox Home was dropped from support well before the new Sync system was developed, so no it will not work with the new system. We are however working on a new product for iOS, which will be able to sync with Firefox in the future using the new system.
As it is, please update your Firefox to the new Sync method ([[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]).

I suspect the monitor has an ADC connector

If so you need one of these:

I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
(Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

When I updated to OS 5.0 my old apple id which was not an e-mail address won't work anymore, how can I fix this?

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

Bought a new iphone and i cant activate it unless the previous owner deletes the account from their icloud but i lost contact with the previous owner how can i fix this?

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.
