My wireless keyboard has a few sticky keys. They are harder to push and take longer to come back up. I don't see evidence of a spill but I wonder if that's what happened?

I'm not sure if something got spilled on our wireless key board because I can't see any evidence but the space bar and a few other keys are sticky and take too long to come back up. Any ideas how to fix this?

Possibly wd-40. I haven't tried this. The consensus off these forums is that using wd-40 may or may not be a good idea.

''''' "My bookmarks from firefox were all on IE. " '''''
That wouldn't happen automatically, Firefox doesn't synchronize bookmarks with IE favorites.
Any chance you were using Google Bookmarks in Firefox? And then with the Google Toolbar not working any longer you just can't access your Google Bookmarks from within Firefox ??

Ipad 2 doesn't recognise wireless keyboard apart from the function keys this has only just occurred . Previously no issue at all.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Late reply, but if anyone is experiencing the same problem, I've found a solution. For whatever reason, some macbooks don't recognize usb flash drives during the boot-up phase, even though the usb ports themselves are powered (I tested this with a multimeter). The solution then, was to use an external USB hard drive that has its own power supply to install Snow Leopard. I don't know why, but it's the only way I got my macbook (Macbook 2,1/A1181) to recognize the install drive. Every was smooth sailing from there!

My wireless keyboard has come unpaired and I can't log in to my iMac to pair it...help!!

Help...my wireless keyboard has some how come unpaired with my iMac...and since the keyboard does not work I can not log in to repair it. Anyone know how to fix this??

You can access your Mac from your iPhone or iPad through a remote desktop client like Splashtop or LogMeIn if you already have something like this installed. Are you sure that your keyboard is 'discoverable'? (Hold button until light comes on and then goes off. Release button, then depress agin. The light will come on, hold for for about 3 seconds then let go. The light on the keyboard should be blinking in a 3 flash succession.) If it doesn't connect to the Mac after this, you'll need to get/borrow/buy a USB Keyboard (It's always good to have one of these handy anyway when you have a wireless accessory setup as your main way of connecting with your Mac).
Once you do get in to your system, be sure and go to System Preferences>Bluetooth and make sure that the 'Discoverable' box is checked. Also, go on to the Advanced pane and make sure that the box that says "Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if no trackpad or mouse is detected" is Checked.

If using the menu bar, or after pressing "Alt" key
Tools > Options > Tabs, (check) Open new window in a new tab instead
Firefox red button > Options (in right column) > Options > Tabs > (check) Open new window in a new tab instead
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank. The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums. What happened and how do I recover them all? Are they in my icloud? Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry. what gives? They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad?? Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that? When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc.

Reboot. Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

To whom it may concern,
I bought an iPhone 4s last November from your New York store (IMEI number ).
It has now malfunctioned (the wi-fi button is grated out and so the wi fi
cannot be switched on). I have been told by the Polish Apple store that they
would be unable to repair it or replace it as it was bought in the USA. it is
still within the warranty period. could you advise me as to the newt steps
please? Can I send it to you by courier and if so please provide me with the
relevant details.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

Ah, the dangers of trying to save a few bucks. Warranty is only good in the USA for phones purchased in the USA.
Three options.
1. Fly to the US, go to an Apple store, and have the phone swapped.
2. Send the phone to a friend in the US and have them go to the Apple store and have the phone replaced.
3. Buy a new phone in your home country where the warranty is valid.

Impossible, there are zero, as in none, zip, nadda viruses for OS X. If you have viruses on it they are for MS Windows and will not affect OS X. I suspect the hard disk has crashed, if you have backup then it's not a big deal to have it changed, just take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for service. If you have not been backing it up you may be in for a painful lesson on why backup is critical.

I uploded the new itunes software and now my ipod touch is not getting reconized in my itunes. I went through all the trouble shooting support from apple. But I do have a avast antivirus on my computer i wonder if that is what is holding it up

Could be since it (security software) is listed as #5 in the following:

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

When I drag ANY JPEG into a new folder of ANY kind, I get an alias, not an original. And, when I drag aliases onto a blank disk to burn it, I get burned aliases, NO originals. That's what I'm asking. How do you drag a JPEG and NOT get an alias?
