OS changes System settings and other stuff

Hej,
I have this very strange thing going on atm w/ my MacBook (ICD1), as all my remembered usernames and passwords in Safari are gone, iTunes is strange (keeps on telling me that my library is damaged, Artwork missing, other things show up twice w/ different sets of files [two Podcasts Folders for example, in one are 20 and in the other one are 35 - the original 20 plus 15 others I downloaded later]), OS changes desktop and and other System settings, Skype passwords are missing, iTerm went back to original configuration, etc. Its all very annoying, and I have no idea what could be the cause for this. I spend the better part of today reading support and the forums but found no similar case, maybe someone can help me, please?

First, I'd make sure the disk verified okay with the install utility.
Then I'd check the disk permissions, with the install utility.

If I buy iWork on my iPhone, will I be able to install that same iWork through my apple account onto an iPad and be able to use that full screen? Or do i have to pay for a iPad version of iWork, where the screen settings and other stuff are different?

I'd like to get iWork on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4 mainly for traveling purposes... Right now I lent my iPad to my dad whose in somewhere else now so I don't have access to the iPad. So, I was wondering if right now I buy iWork onto my iPhone, and then when the iPad comes home, can I install that same iWork I bought through my apple acout and not have to pay for another version, and the iPad iWork can go full screen beautifully and not ugly?

iWork is universal, so it will work full-res on the iPad. This is true for any app which has the plus sign symbol (in the App Store in iTunes it will say "This app is designed for iPhone and iPad".

How do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?

how do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?
Right now my macbook pro requires an admin password before connecting to a new wifi network. In other words when a user that is not an admin tries to connect to a new wifi network the pop up displays indicating that it is locked and an admin password is required.
Is there a way to remove this restriction so that a non admin can connect to wifi without the mac's admin password.

You can enable / disable this option in System Preferences:
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab > Require administrator authorization to: Change networks

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?

Every time Firefox opened
== about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.

I had to replace my i4s with another one from the apple store.shouldn't i be able to go to the cloud to get all my contact info and other stuff that was stored in the cloud from the first phone?

i had to replace my i4s phone with another one from the apple store. i need to download all my contact info and other stuff from the cloud to my new phone.i see a screen that says RESTORE I PHONE and are you sure you want to restore the iphone to its facory settings? all of your media and other data will be erased. they i tunes will verify restore with apple. After this you will have the option to restore your contacts and other settins. The question is will it restore my first phones info? I am hesitant to delete anything lol.

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:

How to backup all my Firefox "Options", not the bookmarks and other stuff.

Under Tools, Options there are lot of settings that are lost when I have to reinstall. How to backup all my Firefox "Options", not the bookmarks and other stuff.

Hi, please see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]].
Also - [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]].
Hope that helps.

Icloud was originally set up wrong and I cannot get in to change my settings and no longer know the password

Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Forgot password'. Enter the ID you set iCloud up with. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.

TS2446 If i create a new apple id account on my ipod, will i still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that i downloaded and bought with my old account or will i loose everything; will i be able to still do the updates to those apps?

I really need help!

I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer.

I know that iCloud backs-up apps and other stuff to your phone incase you want restore from a back-up if you start a New iPhone. My question is if I start a new iPhone (not use the restore from back-up option) and redownload apps like (games, Instagram),

I know that iCloud backs-up apps and other stuff to your phone incase you want restore from a back-up if you start a New iPhone. My question is if I start a new iPhone (not use the restore from back-up option) and redownload apps like (Games, Instagram), would my pics show up on Instagram and would my Games show it was saved and the acccomplisments will remain from the last place I left out.

Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...

I have a problem, my wife has an ipad with photos , emails etc etc, she has recently got herself a new iPad Air, has now been using that for two or more months, more photos (new) more emails and other stuff. What she wants to do is get all she wants from ipad 1 to new ipad without finishing up with 2 of everything which happen on previous occasion. I realise that she needs to tidy up ipad 1 first and get rid of thousands of emails etc. I need help.

HT1491 My iTunes only show: iTunes U and category , no music and books and other stuffs.

My iTunes only show: iTunes U and category , no music and books and other stuffs. Is it because of my Chinese ID?

You can only purchase content from the store where your credit card is registered - and that credit card must be registered to a valid address in that country. I am afraid that you are restricted in what you can legally purchase from Apple.
Sometimes the restiction of content has to do with licensing rights and sometimes governments will restrict the content that Apple is allowed to sell in their countries.
