PLEASE HELP! CR-ROM MESSING UP AND SOFTWARE LOST
Just last night my CD-ROM began messing up...and by messing up i mean that it wont hold a disk, no matter what it is! Right when i put it in there it acts like it wants to read it but then spits it out. Then i found out that all of my pictures in iPhoto were lost or deleted or something! I just know that they arent there anymore and i need them!! I have looked everywhere to see if they were just lost but i cant find them! And i cant reinstall anything because the CD wont stay in the drive! Then a black screen came up with this face on it that looked like an old nintendo character! I know this cant be good...i dont want to send in my iBook if there is something i can do about it myself first. So please...any information would help! I'm scared my computer is going to crash and i cant save anything on backup because no disk will stay in my computer.

Don't be scared. This article may help:

As for the startup screen, are you talking about the globe character? If you mean that, see this article:

If not, you may want to get an external Firewire optical disk drive from http://www.macsales.com/

Please help! - My computer crashed and I need help reinstalling my CS3 software
Please help! My computer crashed and now I am trying to reistall my CS3 software. I'm receiving Unable to Install errors for all of the programs in the Suite except the Acrobat 8 Professional. Can someone please help me? I cannot afford to upgrade, but need this software to do freelance work. I own the software and serial number but Adobe will not support me as it is an older version.
I downloaded and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. It showed no files to remove, but still said it was successful. I then tried reinstalling the entire suite. Acrobat 8 Professional was the only program that installed. All other programs gave me a componant failed error. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated?!
Thanks -

AlexMany thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

my ipod keeps asking me to restore and when i do restore it just restarts and asks me to connect to itunes and starts again.please help its my sons bday and this is his present
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

No app on the iOS device is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.
So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there? -
Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?
See if any of the following fix it.
Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot. -
Please help! I have photoshop and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences.
I tried it and nothing changed. Even when I right click on an indiviual image all it does is duplicate it. Iphoto seems to be recognizing my external hard drive as an editor......cannot get photoshop except to drag a picture into photoshop from iphoto, and once I have worked on it and saved it to iphoto I cant find it anywhere.

hello sir i have IPhone 5 this imei is : ********** and i but my mail and password but the icloud tell me its wrong please help me my mail is : *********
and my password is *******
<Personal Information Edited by Host>You might try the following steps:
Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
Try signing out of iCloud and back in (only if find my phone is disabled)
If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan. -

Please help, after is downloaded IOS 7 I lost my Pages App and a few more and also I now have restriction set on please help
If you can't reach the person that sold it to you, you essentially have an iBrick.
You are encountering Activation Lock, which cannot be bypassed.
You may want to just turn the phone over to the police as it's nothing more to you than a paperweight and may be stolen.
