Pls Help me made big mistake !

hello,
here's what happened ... without reason my computer set itself back to factory settings .. so everything lost, my document, my settings in iphoto, itunes, you know the whole lot but luckily for my i was using my external hard drive for iphoto ... but now i wanted to import my pictures again in iphoto but it started to import to whole files which i don't want, i want to keep my big files on the hard drives and my smaller files on my computer ! but now when i tried to import again it says "unreadable files. the following file could not be imported (the file is in the iphoto library folder) /volumes/big brother (which is my hard drive btw)/iphoto library".
so anyone who can help me pls ...
and also while i'm here ... i have an ibook G4, with 30 GB of disk space but only 1.5 GB left and i don't have any big files on my computer, just some programs (no pictures or anything mayor) is there maybe something that i'm missing ... ?
so that's my story ... pls help me !

Hi jeroen_maes,
I think you had your problem because you are so low on disk space. You need to clean out your hard drive and make more space. I think the case with iPhoto is just your preferences weren't saved so iPhoto forgot where your library was.
Launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed until you get a message window. In that window choose to open another library, then navigate to the external and highlight the iPhoto Library folder and click "open" Hopefully your library will open.
As for your disk space, check out this link;

There is no Lion DVD. Start Boot Camp Assistant and select the menu item to download the Windows Support Software.
Read and follow the Boot Camp Installation Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

At this point it looks like your device is in a looping reset because of the incompatible app.
Try the system/warm reset in the following link to see if you can stop the looping.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
If you can get the device to stop looping, try a hotsync and see if you can get your data backed up.
After the sync, you will need to do the following in order to remove the incompatible app. from the sync'ing process.
Hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
If the above steps don't resolve your issue, you will need to hard reset.
You can try a hard reset to resolve the issue. The hard reset will erase all data on the device.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

I need your help...I made a very big mistake!

I really need your help. A friend of mine has an iPod Nano and when I was helping him out on his PC, I accidentally spelled his last name wrong. As in, instead of Smith, I typed Smyth. Anyway, how do I remove that mistake in his iTunes and iPod? It's showing up as the wrong last name! I deleted the wrong name from every registry entry and also uninstalled iTunes and the reset the iPod. He said he resynched the other day and the wrong name came back. How can that be? How do I get rid of this BIG mistake on his Dell PC and iPod while not having it happen again? I'm never hearing the end of it now and so, I come to you for help. Thanks so much! Debbie

Thank you Jeff for the link! Between your link and Niel's response, I think I've got it. I'm going there today to fix the problem so this friend will leave me alone! (GRIN)
I really appreciate the help from both of you! Thank you so much! Apple people are such nice people! I think I just might buy myself a Mac and my own iPod!
Thanks again!
Namaste'

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"?

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"? I have back up in the past but the last month I have not. I really want to keep the data.
So how can I go in and change the setting, It stays ofcourse at the apple screen with wheel. All info is there and the computer works fine, just cannot use it or have been able to log in.

wjosten is spot on. If you really want iCloud, then you will need to acquire a new or second hand MBP that can run Lion.
Ciao.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11. Big Mistake. Now I can't play anything. I'm on a Windows PC. Any help or suggestions?

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11. Big Mistake. Now I can't play anything from iTunes. When I click on it, it appears to be playing, but no sound at all.
Also, I keep getting asked to "authorize" this computer (which I've been using for more than 2 years). When the dialog box comes up, it includes an e-mail address what I used over 6 years ago. When I attempt to change the e-mail address, it tells me I'm already authorized.
PLEASE HELP! Or, just tell me how to get iTunes 10 back - that works well!

A computer requires authorisation to play content. If you have bought content using 2 Apple IDs over the years you need to authorise the machine for both Apple ID accounts.

Hello, HenryWang2103.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted. Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled. You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down. Here is some information regarding these features. The information about folders is located in the user guide below.

I made a big mistake. I downloaded a Windows version of Adobe Acrobat for my Mac. Is there any way to get that changed?

I made a big mistake. I paid almost $500 for Adobe Acrobat and realized the whole time I was paying for a Windows version of the software. Is there any way I can change the software without having to buy a new license for the program?

My cousin its big problem.iphone 3gs is no firmware,blutoot pls help me

pls help,iphone 3gs no modem firmware,bluetoot,carrier

I finally bit the bullet this morning and set up my iPad as a new one after backing up. It didn't wipe out my stuff like I thought it would, but I did have to re-set all of my synch settings including apps which took a while to set up. My apps were still on the iPad with the 'sync apps' tab unchecked so I checked it and matched up all of my apps on the iPad screen using iTunes before I hit apply. Once that was done, there were a few apps that moved over to the second window, but was easily fixed. Everything's back to normal - assuming all of the videos and music you had on the iPad are in your iTunes so you don't loose anything. It kept my music, but deleted my videos. Other data was still in-tact. I never had to re-enter any passwords for Facebook or Netflix, but my email was all gone (not missing it since it's all online anyway). Hope that helps.
