Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

Really Apple?
With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
Thank you.

Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

Downloaded Premier Elements 9 It does not have SartSound in the Audio Tools Button. How can I get it

Having pruchased Premier Elements vis download, I obviously have not installations disc. After working on a project, I went into audio tools to open SmartSound Quicks. It was not included in the tools menu. I know you can add it to tools if you purchased Pre 9 retail and have the disc. Is this an error in that it is not included in the download version? If not, why was not downloaded and how can I get it? Is there a plugin available. Smart sound shows one I believe for Pre pro. Will that work for Pre 9?

I hope what I am telling you responds to what you would like to do.
As one of the respondents mentioned, you can't use AirPlay. What was not mentioned is you can use HomeSharing.
You need to activate Home Sharing on both your computer's iTunes/Prefs/Sharing and in Settings/iPod in the iPad. Using the iPod app, select your computer's library and initiate any requests (music) on the iPad.
Personally I believe Airsharing and Homesharing are some of the worst work I've seen come out of Apple. Its inconsistent between devices and is needlessly complicated by having two different capabilities essentially doing the same thing. Throw in the Remote app and you now have three capabilities essentially doing the same thing with different interfaces and inconsistent functionality.

I was typing a long Yahoo email response , and got a Firefox crash notice . 38 minutes of my typing was lost. How can I get back that 38 minutes?

Mozilla crashed presumably because my AVG PC tuneup utility wanted to come online. Mozilla has been "crashing' much more frequently now, but would be restorable to what I was doing in the past. This has really upset me. Yahoo mail typically saves what I've typed in a Draft folder automatically, but not now. It saved my typing as of 10:19AM, and the system crashed at 10:57. I don't see where Yahoo even lets you complain about a specific issue. Can you shed some light on this issue?

Disabled? You got locked out of the passcode on the lockscreen? If so, you need to put the ipod in recovery mode and restore. Here is a guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my two iphones4 and my ipad2?
Since more than 6 monthes I can't use
* video for more than 5 minutes,
* tv-streams for more than 5 minutes,
* apple store updates in case of more than one update,
* itunes download in case of more than one download object,
* remote control
* air play with appletv3
without errors.
On ios 6.x (incl. 6.1.2) all important apple media integration are just useless.

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the passoword?, How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the password?

Help! My daughter changed the password on her iPhone and she can't remember it. How can she get back into it. Restoring is not an option so I'm hopeful there is another way. Thanks!

Hey KimmyP123,
Thanks for the question. I understand your daughter has an unknown passcode on her iPhone. The following article provides a few solutions for this situation:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
I notice you are looking for solutions other than restoring, the article does outline how you can use iCloud's Find My iPhone:
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.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How can I get back my sliders in the Lightroom Library Module?

I would be really grateful if someone could please explain how can I get back the exposure sliders on the Library panel? I don't like using the stepwise adjustments. I know that the sliders are available on the Develop panel but one of my friends has Lightroom CC & can use the old slider system. Unfortunately I can't find any information as to how to adjust the settings back to sliders.
I am using the latest updated version of Lightroom CC on a Mac.
This may seem a minor issue but it is driving me crazy!
Newbie here (as far as forums are concerned)
Thanks in advance...
Martina

Exposure is not available as a slider in Library.
You can gain finer granularity on Exposure and other controls in the Quick Develop panel with the [Shift] Key.

THE COMPUTER HAS WORKED FINE

NO CHANGES HERE IN ANYTHING ELSE.

Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following: 
* Fun Web Products Plugin 
* My Web Search 
Both of these are adware/spyware and cause performance issues in Firefox.
Next, click the Extensions menu link (above Plugins where you are) and remove the "Ask Toolbar".
If the problem persists, please do the following: 
#Click '''Help '''| '''Restart with Add-ons disabled'''. 
#In the next menu which appears, checkmark: "'''Reset toolbars and Controls'''". 
#Finally, click the button called "'''Make changes and restart'''".

How can i get back the adobe creative cloud shared folder after I deleting it?

How can i get back the adobe creative cloud shared folder after I deleting it?

I think Adobe pulled the Creative Connect Desktop app until the new CC release next month. I just built a new PC and noticed it wasn't available in the app manager any more. On my other machines it isn't working anyway. In another post Adobe devs said they new it was down because thay were working out some server issues. It looks like they couldn't resolve them.
I bought into the CC right from the beginning since I never buy my software outright but rather use a credit card. I thought that getting the whole master suite for $30 a month interest free was a great deal. Having all the software has been great, but it was over a year before we even saw a desktop syncing folder and noe it seens as though we are going to have server problems every time they upgrade the cloud leaving us to have to use the cluncky web interface during these sync blackouts.
I can tell you Adobe better get it together cause ther starting to p*ss off a lot of loyal customers. It feels like were dealing with a cellphone company who only gives deals to the new customers and once you've signed the contract your screwed.
Here is the link to whats going on

How can i get back my missing mini iPad, which was lost on Thursday night?

How can i get back my missing mini iPad, which was lost on Thursday night?

Unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did have it enabled then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc, and if it was a cellular model then you should also contact your carrier
