My screen (about 5 years old) just went faint, dull grey. Any ideas how to reverse this?
After using my iMac daily for a few years without any problems, the screen suddenly has gone to a dull grey, with low contrast. Any ideas why this would happen and how I can restore it to its earlier brilliance?
At 5 years old it could be failing or wearing out, but just to check - did you try to turn up brightness and turn off auto dimming in System Prefs -> Display?

I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad and iphone that I download for them. Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades? My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Is there a setting that would prevent this from happening?
Yes. You can set restrictions.
This is covered in the manual.

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.
YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover. -
my iphone4 has a broken lock screen button. im struggling to turn it on, when i plug it in it keeps restarting showing the apple sign then turning off again. any ideas how to fix this problem?
That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

My touchscreen stopped responding to my finger and I can't unlock the screen...any idea how to remedy this problem?
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I just discovered that when I type names in Reminder, Notes or even email there is a voice repeating them. Any idea how to disable this function??? I never heard this before and I have the iPod Touch since a year!. Thanks a lot.
You have an Accessibility feature turned on. Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off/check off:

I downloaded an app 5 years ago on my iPhone with another Apple ID that I cannot get into now because I forgot the ID. I'd like to download the same app on my iPad now. The developer says it should be no problem. Any ideas how to solve this?
It will be tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to re-download it - but redownloading an account's past purchases may tie a computer or device to the account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Do you have a copy of it anywhere e.g. on your computer's iTunes, or on a backup of your library ? If you have it on a backup then you should be prompted to authorise the account (and I think that the id will show) if you try to add it to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library. -
my iphone went into recovery mode for some reason and is unable to be restored. it wont turn on and when plugged into a charger it shows a usb and itunes symbol. so i plugged it into my mac and connected to itunes then itunes said it has detected a phone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. so it goes through the restoration process for a couple minutes or so then stops and says itunes is unable to restore because an unknown error occurred (2001) or (2006) and other times i try it says its unable to restore because itunes cant detect the device... any ideas how to fix this?
Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
2001: Use up to date software. Make sure your device is in DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
2006: Use a different USB cable. Possibly the one that came with your iPhone. -
I've just updated my iPad 3 to IOS 7 and when i try to type any thing be it a password or e-mail there is a long lag any idea how to sort this out ?
Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard. -
Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?
Hey ilyaz20360341,
Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
Hope to get your response.
Regards,
Anubha -
