Q2: I cannot use the Apple support site with my iPad. Type disappears. Links don't work.

Not sure what the deal is here. It may be related to my Q1, which was my original issue. Anyway, I tried to access the Apple support communities from my ipad to ask a question. After I logged in, I noticed that all the text I typed into the query box failed to show up. The test seemed to actually be there, as evidenced by the spelling suggestions that appeared as I typed, but it was like it was in white font. The header, or question title was legible, though (I don't have white font on is my point).
Then, when I tried to "browse communities" in order to pick a community in which to post my invisible question, hoping when it posted it would become visible, no communities would display. Actually, nothing happened. The page did not default to the ipad or "using ipad" community. And when I tapped on the "browse" link, nothing happened.
Finally, whenever I pick the "search" function, the word "search" self populates into the search field and I get an entire list of topics that contain the word "search". When I delete the word "search" from the search field and enter different text (like "imessage") it re-sets to the word "search" and I get the same list of topics that contain the word "search". IT'S FREAKING ME OUT!! Like there's a ghost running my device.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Any ideas??

Amazing help from apple support over the phone. Restoring the computer fixed the problem.

My HP C3180 printer has lost its printer connection. The download on the Apple support site downloads - but at the very end, I get an error message that my device cannot be found. Can anyone help?

This happened all of a sudden. Was it in response to a O/S 10 update? The download from the Apple icon does not show a software update is needed; so a new driver is not there. The download at the Apple Support site for HP printers downloads and seems to install until the end, when it says my device an HP C3180 cannot be found. Can anyone help?

My mini ipod appears off and not respond to any commands when pressed the buttons to reset, apple logo appeared and then the apple support site and it shuts down. already tried all the steps, but none worked, and when I plug it into my computer it does not appear in the iTunes bar. what do I do?

If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

If it really does not work, change your password here https://appleid.apple.com (Manage account) and try to add the account again. I hope it helps.

My ipod touch is disabled for 212,456,786 minutes! I have tried to restore and followd all instructions on the apple support site but this has not worked. Help!

My ipod touch has been disabled for 212,456,875 minutes! I have followed all instructions on the apple support site to restore it but this has not worked. Help!

Without know exactly what you did or what happened:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live were we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need.

I live where we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need. In addition, when I connect the phone to the connecter it falls out, it will not click in.

Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

TS1717 My ITunes account has failed to open and reccomends a "reinstall" The Apple support site gives instructions to "Create a New Account". Will I loose my music and account $ balance?

My ITunes account has failed to open and reccomends a "re-install". The apple support site instructs "create a new account". Any knows what will become of my music collection and account $ balance?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)
I've never lost an account balance after an uninstall/reinstall.

Why not just Upgrade to 10 6 8 which is Snow Leopard...
First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install Snow Leopard Disc,
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)
Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like

Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit

Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit
3g 64gb verizon

People report it is still possible to use a wired USB keyboard with the CCK, if you use a powered USB hub to get around the "not enough power" error message. (I have done this with an older Apple USB keyboard my non-jailbroken iPad1 on iOS 4.3.3.) Normally, powered USB hubs have a AC power adapter so you lose portability unless you can find a battery powered USB hub. At this point, the (in)convinience of the USB hub becomes an issue, depending on what you get.
And wired USB keyboard were never supported for the iPad. So there's no guarantee that it will continue to work with future iPad updates from Apple. So best to go with a Bluetooth keyboard unless you have a specific USB keyboard that you "must" use. If you have all the equipment already, I say give it a try. But I would not recommend trying a USB keyboard if you have to purchase anything.

You cannot use the application "System Preferences" with this version OS X

You cannot use the application “System Preferences” with this version of Mac OS X.
I received this error message when trying to run System Preferences (SP) for the first time after running the 10.5.1 update (from the download, not software update). After the update, I repaired permissions. Did another restart. Same.
I reinstalled 10.5.1 update. Same message. Logged in as another user. No change.
I removed the com.apple.systempreferences.plist from ~/library/preferences. No change, and it did not re-create the .plist file.
Any ideas? No one else seems to be having this problem as far as I can tell.
dkrockville

I have had this problem with many applications after updating to 10.5.1, including
System Preferences, Calculator, Preview. Tried repairing permissions, and other tips from this thread. The strange thing is, the actual Leopard applications seem to have actually vanished? I don't know if this is anything to do with Time Machine; Anyway, My fix was:
Download Pacifist (if you don't already have it), locate the apps that you're having problems with on the Leopard install DVD, and copy them to the Applications Folder (Click on 'Replace Bundle')
Problem Solved for Me!
Hope this Helps!
