My three year old was playing with her sisters IPOD and somehow figured out how to lock it. Now it is locked and noone knows the unlock code, Is there a way to master reset/wipe the unit?
Gretchen,
What iPod model does she own? If it's a Nano, simply connect it to iTunes and restore it.
If it's an iPod touch, you will need to connect to iTunes in Recovery Mode and restore it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

I am trying to get my computer back in working order and use Firefox instead of Chrome. I have my "favorites" folder on my desktop but cannot figure out how to link it to my Bookmarks and get websites to come up.
If your "folder of things" are bookmarks exported from Chrome then see the link that Tony has already posted ie
[[Importing bookmarks from Google Chrome. ]] '''<-- clickable link above '''
Once you have those bookmarks in firefox use the firefox Bookmarks menu to see and click on the required bookmark, that will take you to the location of that bookmark, which usually will be somewhere out on the Internet.
To use bookmarks in firefox read [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/#bookmarking Firefox Features] -
My 6 year old was playing on an app we have used for ages then last night i recieved numerous emails stating about $600 of in app purchases had been made! i dont know how this happened as my child does not know my apple i.d. password!
You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they give you a refund or credit for some/all of it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchaes, Billing & Redemption.
To stop it happening again you can turn off in-app purchases on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases, and also in Restrictions change Require Password to 'Immediately' - the default is 15 minutes during which it doesn't need to be re-entered. -
I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I keep getting an AVG popup about cookies that I cannot get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome very often even though I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and cannot find anything. How does one get personal technical help?? These issues do not happen in Chrome at all. Thanks.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

My daughter just synched her new iphone with her itunes account and it wiped out her contacts and pictures. Is there any way to recover them?
Sorry, unless she backup up the new phone before or is using iCloud to save the photos, the photos are gone.

My daughter has somehow figured out how to register for her own Apple ID but she is very underage. She is not giving me the correct info for me to get into her email. She has downloaded some apps that I would not allow. How can I recover her Apple ID info?
No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that. -
I just started using fire fox and I can't figure out how to add a new folder to my bookmarks.
Can anybody explain how in detail (I'm bad with computers so I need real detail)
Please and thank you. :)If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

With the Ipad wifi 3g can you just purchase internet time as need by the month because I'm trying to avoid having another monthly fee, I only need 3g when we go camping which is like two weeks out of the year.
With ATT, you can pay month by month. They have a $15 (256 mb) and a $25 (2gb) per month fee. You can activate and deactivate this service directly from you iPad. Have fun!

how do we download our operating system purchase from our email it was sent to?
You should have received a redemption code via email if you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion that would allow you to download the OS via the Mac App Store. If you purchased an earlier version it would come on discs, usually model-specific.
Call back with some more information...

I am unable to connect my iPad to the internet following a trip. My home WiFi is working on my desktop, so I know I should be able to connect. I'm a cyber-nincompoop and can't figure it out...please help!
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I would like to delete the "inbox" screen from coming up when I open Firefox. I might help if I could speak with a person.
Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Take it in for diagnosis/repair. I suspect you have a hardware problem (or problems).

My personal hotspot disapared from settings after i done some aplication im not sure of now. How can i get it back?
you don't need to use iTunes to restore your old phone to factory settings.
Just go into settings on your old iPhone and reset .. it will take it back to factory set-up with the cable showing on the front of the screen. All your content will be permanently erased from the old iPhone. -
Can you please reset the "This Device Is Already Associated With an Apple ID"
So, i had an ipod touch 4th generation 64gb and have bought any movies and music. I got an ipod touch 5th gen 64gb for christmas and backed up all my stuff from previous ipod (4th) to it. My plan was to Use the 5th gen for games an photos ans social networks. And the 4th gen for Movies an music. On the 4th gen I created a new apple ID. When I went to the store I logged into my son's apple ID, to get one movie i had purchased for him, so i could have it on my device, so i wouldn't have to buy it again. After i downloaded that, i logged in back to my original ID, not the one i used to make a new one (4th), so i could get the movies i have bought previously. When i tried to do this, this came up- "This Device Is Already Associated With an Apple ID". So now i can't download the movies i had purchased previously. Can someone tell me how to reset this. Because I really dont want to wait 90 days to download these movies.
Sorry but there is no way to override the 90 day timer once it starts.
