Please help, my mac is not remembering it's settings for Mail, ichat, deskt

My imac is not remembering any settings. this started happening nearly 3-4 days ago. I'm having to start fresh almost as if I hadn't entered any information into Mail, ichat, desktop dock. Accounts aren't recognized, I don't know what to do other than I've repaired permissions and verified them. I've repaired keychains as I was instructed to do on earlier posts. it's still happening. should i reinsert my leopard cd and install a newer version of Leopard to overwrite this current version? This is very strange. I've never had this happen before. Any previous changes I would make were always saved. Oh and ichat erased my jabber account, I need to reenter all my account info despite ichat already checked off to remember my account status under it's preferences.

First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

TS2446 Please help me,I can not purchase from apple store becuse it is ask me the secirty question in my apple ID but I forget my secrity question

Hello,
Please help me,I can not purchase from apple store becuse it is ask me about the secirty question in my apple ID but I forget my secrity question.
Thanks,

If you can't remember them then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox). A month or two ago Apple had temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes were improved, but that may now have finished.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

Hi Videoframe
This was emailed to Apple Support on 23 DEc 2012 at 09:50 Eastern Australia time.
"I continued to talk to other Apple Mac users on iMovie….Interesting to have found out that their movies were made using iDVD without any known issues as yet…Looking at the results from Apple Support Forum and Youtube, problems appears to be when NOT using iDVD. I and many others can't understand how these many technical problems were overlooked by the programmers of iMovie. One would have thought iMovie problems have been iron out prior to getting rid of iDVD. By the way when I first contacted Apple Support back on 16th Nov, I was told I need to RE-INSTALL my computer…..that I did and in the process my iDVD was removed and never was re-installed.
May I suggest you delegate a junior person or someone string together a project consisting over near 1700 images, approx. 25mins of video footage, titles and including with and without transitions then export the project.
I am still in the dark as to what is being done about this extended non result. I am not sure if is known by the people who is in charge of this iMovie programme. it would be nice to get some sort of feedback. Not sure if I should refer this to a third party to do the testing?? I am sure Apple's competitors would love to make a mockery of this.
There has to be a time frame for this to end, as I and many others can't simply sit here in the dark and wait for someone to come back for a solution, this could be months or years who knows. As you can appreciate I am not the only user anxiously waiting for a solution.
I guess I am in a way representing other worldwide users in pursuing a solution on this matter ASAP. I therefore ask you to please make this a priority if this is at all possible.
Many thanks."
I've been corresponding to them since Fri 16th Nov on and off without a solution.

Please help as I do not know what to do or even what step to take next

I really need to solve this problem as I cannot receive mail in my Mail program except that each day one message—the same message—arrives. It comes from Mail Delivery System and the subject is Delivery Status Notification (Failure). No matter what time it arrives, it still has the date of 9/15 and the time of 8:39 AM. All other mail stays at Gmail and is not imported. This began I think when I opened one of those Mail Delivery System messages and it was completely blank, just one blank box.
In answering, please realize that I am not extremely computer-savvy.
I left a message here about my problem before (this weekend) but now cannot seem to find it. Do messages drop off?
Thanks for any help.

iOS 7.1 update requires approximately 350MB's of storage space.
Tap Settings > General > About > Available to see free storage space.
Very important to never allow the free storage space to fall below at the very least 500MB's or your iPhone may not boot.
You need to free up storage space on your iPhone for future updates as well.

Locate your original install disk (it's grey) and use it to restart your iMac by holding the "C" key during startup. Use the disk utility to repair your harddrive.

Please help my mac is so slow coming up and going to different places. the flower keeps coming up all the time?????

I'm having this problem but only online. I've confirmed that it is the computer (2007 MacBook), and it only happens when I'm using wi-fi connection. My other MacBook (2010) is connecting with wi-fi fine, and when I plug this MacBook into the ethernet connection it is also doing fine. I've re-started, check the memory, deleted cookies, histories, gone as far as uninstalling and re-installing browswers. Used the System Preferences network diagnostics and got an "all good". Ideas appreciated.

Please Help, my Iphone will not download my music.

Okay, so I just restored my Iphone and switched over to a new computer. All my music is on this computer and my Iphone 3GS will sync with the itunes, but when I press sync it simply syncs, and then says the sync is complete without downloading any of the music I have put up. I have no idea what is wrong, someone please help. I have not checked off my music to not be downloaded either.

Have you clicked on the Sync music button at the top of the Music tab in iTunes ?

Please help, my iPod could not backing up on iTunes.

Please help, my iPod could not backing up on iTunes. It always says, "iTunes could not back up the iPod because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPod. Delete the backup for this iPod, then try again." What's wrong with my iTunes??

look at the brightside at least your computer sees yours

Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

Try quitting the music app completely and restart your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that didn't help - reboot your iPad. Reboot 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.
If that doesn't work, there may be a corrupt song in your Music app that you have to find and remove.

If you mean that you have been instructed to contact iTunes support, then will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to contact the iTunes Store.
If that does not answer your question, try posting in your native language, or find a friend with a better command of English to help you ask your question here.
Regards.
