Please help! Stickies disappeared
Hello, I put my macbook to sleep and when I opened it again, stickies (the app, not the dashboard stickies) were open with only one blank sticky! I had a bunch and now they're all gone. I went to find the stickiesdatabase but it's only 4kb and says it was created this morning. There's nothing in the trash. I don't have time machine set up or a back up (I know this was stupid) so how can I recover my stickies?
You didn't lose them, but the Finder did. Do you have a copy of DiskWarrior? That will find them and put any 'lost' files into a 'lost & found' folder for you.
If not, there's a longer way - manually. Here's how. I have the same problem with the images disappearing inside my pictures folders, so I do a search with the Find tool, and use the names of the pictures - I take it with that many photos, they are taken with a digital camera?
Do a search with the IMG000.jpg or DSC0001.jpg - basically whatever the common name that your camera titles the pictures with. Don't bother with using the numbers. What will happen is that the pictures will come up in the search window and what I do is then I have a new folder waiting on the desktop and I drag and drop the pictures, 20 or 30 at a time out of the Finder window right into the new folder. That usually nails it, unless something has really gone flooey and I just use the DW.

Please help! Disappearing iphoto application, no time machine
I don't have Time Machine turned on, I go to open iphoto today and it has a question mark on it, and the application is gone. Anyone know how I fix or redownload? It's not anywhere on the mac, I have already done a spotlight search. I don't have any original disks with the application, it was just on my mac when I bought it, i think.
Thanks a million for your help. I have 10.6.8, but I am unsure if this is what the computer was originally shipped with. I also don't know how to reinstall it from the computer's original disks. Can you help, or direct me to a link that can? Again, really appreciate the help.
I am attaching a screenshot of my pictures folder, to see if you can decipher whether all my photos are gone!
I don't know what happened with this, I don't see myself moving it to trash and emptying, but maybe I did! -
I have been edited a project for weeks. Today, a few minutes after opening the project to work on it again, my computer shut down abnormally. The timeline disappeared. All the media is still in the project but my edited timeline is gone. Please help!
You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

Attachments dont download from Gmail in Safari, They disappear,I even tried re-downloading Safari and that download disappeared, it is not in my downloads folder, I actually searched in finder for the file and it is nowhere on my computer. Please help!
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open
You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If there was one please give it in full.
Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open? -
Please, help!
After upgrading to Yosemite, my dock has disappeared, along with the dashboard and the wallpaper! Can anyone help? I'm using a MacBook Pro, retina, bought it last year.
ThanksHave you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

Purchased a Movie, which has just disappeared - PLEASE HELP!!!
I really need some help here please,
A few hours ago, I purchased a Movie from the iTunes store which took 3 hours to download to my iPod touch which cost £6.99. A soon as it finished, I took then plugged it into my PC to transfer the purchase to my iTunes library, for a backup.
Whilst I was doing this, iTunes (as per usual) froze on me when it was syncing and did not respond at all when I moved and clicked an area of the open window. Because of this, I was forced to quit iTunes and re-open it again, to try and get the film onto my PC.
When I connected my iPod to iTunes again, the Movie disappeared from my iPod and there was no sign of it anywhere on my PC either. Where is it?!
Because of this and un-aware I had to pay £7 again to download the movie on my iPod, I repeated the whole process and as before, the file just went missing on both my iPod and PC.
You may ask "Why didn't you purchase it through iTunes on your PC?" and the reason why is because the iTunes Store doesn't work on the PC any more. I've tried hundreds of new and old solutions to fix this and none of them seem to work. I've disabled EVERY type of firewall that could potentially be blocking me using the store, disabled all spyware programs and it still won't work.
I feel very angry and annoyed here, as I've spent £14 on 1 film I've tried to get twice and attempting to find a missing file that never appeared on my PC.
So how do I resolve this constant freezing probelm with iTunes, how do I get the iTunes Store working again, and most importantly, is there any way of me getting my £14 back? Please help!
Any answer will be greatly appreciated.

I'm a begineer in labview. I want to evaluate an equation which has complex numbers through text code..
Are you saying you don't want to use LabVIEW to evaluate this? In which case I suggest asking on a different forum.
for(f=0;f<=2560;f=f+0.3125)
R=((H12-e^(-i*k))/(e^(i*k)-H12))*e^(i*k);
There is no 'f' in the loop, I don't understand what the loop would evaluate, unless k is a constant in which case the loop is redundant.
k function of frequency
f frequency
If k is a function of frequency you need to say what that function is. For example if you are evaluating 'k' for changing 'f' and applying it to the equation for R. I don't know what the best procedure would be but my first port of call would be nested loops: 'R' for each 'k' for each 'f' ?
In the absence of a function for k this vi would evaluate you formula for k=f, I don't know if this wil help any. -

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

When I attempt to save a new bookmark and want to save it in a folder the window that typically appears just below the address bar will not stay on the screen. It flashes on the screen and as soon as I move my cursor over it, it disappears. It will not allow me to make a selection of any kind. If I randomly hover over the general area the window will flash back in view but disappear again just as quickly. If I then show all my bookmarks, the bookmark was saved and I have to move it to the folder I actually want it in. Just a few extra steps, but still very annoying. Please help!

i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?
Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps. -
I bought my iphone on 23 June 2011, a week after the warranty period, I noticed that, each time I am on line or using it's software, the screen just disappear and offline just like that, and I had to re-start my iphone.
I have been facing this problem numeral times and not sure what is wrong with it.
Went back to Celcom to report, they asked me to deposit to their technical department and to come back after 2 weeks. (2 weeks) is way too long to wait.
Please help.
Thank you.Do you live near an Apple Store? If so, pop in and see a Genius, if they discover a fault they may replace the phone there and then, for free as part of your 1-year warranty.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!
I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field. -
Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You
Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!
