Reinstall ONLY the firmware?

Guys, I'm having far too many problems with my phone.
I want to reinstall the firmware but not loose all my data from the phone - contacts, calendar, photo's etc.
What's the best way to do this?
I know I can do a restore from a past sync but this would defeat the purpose of a fresh firmware reload, would it not?

Open iTunes with your phone connected. Select the device from iTunes sidebar, click on the Summary tab. To restore the firmware hit the Restore button. This will restore the current firmware along with all your data.

How to reinstall only the missing loops?

When installing Logic, I accidentally interrupted(cancelled) one of the installers. (Audio Content 2).
When I tried to reinstall logic, after inserting disc1, it asked me for Audio content 3.
As a result, I do not know whether the loops installed properly. For some of the loops, it looks like I am missing some in the series, but I don't know for sure. I suspect I am missing some since I have "Acoustic picking 03",06 and 7, but no 1,4, and 5.
What is the best way to ensure that all the loops & audio content are properly installed (for my situation)?
What should I do to verify this?

Short answer: reinstall all the loops. Insert the first install disc from the Studio bundle and choose to install only the audio content. I don't have the discs here with me, so I can't try it out to explain the process much more than that, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to start the process with that first install disc.

Major font problems- can you reinstall only the sytem fonts?

I installed Adobe Font Folio last night (so far 500+ fonts) and this afternoon several webpages and the address book and the calendar in Dashboard have changed to a numeric/subscript font. I have disabled all fonts in Font Book that look anything like the weird font, repaired the permissions in the Disk Utility, and now am at a lost on what to do next!
Here is an example: [IMG]http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/bbrizell/bad.jpg[/IMG]
Thanks so much for any suggestions.

Find the font called Helvetica Fractions and get rid of it.
Let us know if this solves it.

I purchased CS6 and had problems with the Adobe Acrobat Pro so i uninstalled and now need to reinstall but serial number wont work. How can i reinstall ONLY Adobe Acrobat Pro since its included in CS6?

I purchased Design Standard CS6 the entire package. I downloaded and installed but I was continually having problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I tried updating to the newest version but it only made the problems worse (acrobat was super slow and constantly not responding). So i decided to try to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Well I uninstalled, and then attempted to reinstall ONLY the adobe acrobat pro but it says my serial number (which is for design standard) will not work. Since Acrobat Pro is included in the suite, i thought this wouldnt be a problem. Is there anyway to get around this without uninstalling the entire design standard and reinstalling everything? I only need to reinstall acrobat pro.

You need to reinstall Acrobat the the Creative Suite, you cannot download it is a separate application and install it that way because it will be looking for a serial number relative to being a singly purchased application.

Is Apple TV Hardware new? Or just the Firmware?

I have been reading a lot on the new Apple TV coming out in 2 weeks. However, if I am reading and hearing everything correctly, the hardware is not changing, but only the firmware?
I am also assuming this since Apple continues to sell Apple TV, but simply lowered the price?
I guess I will wait for new hardware, but if its simply firmware, I might as well go get it tomorrow!
Thanks.

Well, the original AppleTV could only output up to 1080i, not 1080p.
Is the graphics chip capable, but just didn't have software support, or will new machine have enhanced though not radically different hardware?
I don't think we'll know until the software update is out so for the sake of 2 weeks I'd hang on.

I synced my phone with iCloud for the first time and it put ALL of my husband's contacts on my phone. How to I take contacts off my iphone and reinstall only mine?

I have archived my contacts on my computer and can reinstall only those, but I can't figure out how to wipe all of his contacts off my iphone.

You don't.
You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer.

TS1440 When I start up, there is only the flashing folder with a question mark on it. When I tried to reinstall snow leopard, there is no hard disk to be found.

After rebooting my computer, there is only the flashing folder with "?" on it. I tried several things like PRAM resetting and whatnot, but nothing worked. I then tried to reinstall Snow Leopard, but it appears there is no hard disc to be found to install it. I also wanted to repair the disk first but it wasn't present in disk utilities. Did I lose my hard drive, or is this still salvagable?

That is evidence that your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

Hi anyone. Can I buy an SD card reader for my old Powerbook G4, OSX, 10.4.11 and it's only USB. I've never needed one previously but I now need to update the firmware on my camera. Can I get one, if so which one's best? Many thanks.

Hello,
If it is a PowerBook G4 with a PC Card slot, you have two possibilities. You could buy a USB card reader for SD, or a PC Card adapter (such as SanDisk's 6-in-1adapter). Please note that you are or may be limited to plain SD (that is, not SDHC) unless otherwise noted. For a USB reader, make sure that it has Mac support. BTW, is an SD card absolutely necessary for the firmware update; is there not a way of updating via cable? If you post back with the camera model, someone may be able to provide additional information.

So what? The second-hand shop you bought it from didn't follow the right procedures. You also didn't follow the right procedures to make sure that iPhone was not in Activation Lock. It's like buying a car for cash but not getting the title signed over to you. It's not your car if you don' have the title. And that's not legally your iPhone if the previous owner's Apple ID is still registered to the device for Find My iPhone/Activation Lock.
Only a proof of purchase from the ORIGINAL retail store would do any good at all. Return the device to where you bought it and demand your money back. If they refuse, either get a lawyer and/or turn in the device to local police. If you're in possession of stolen property, then the cops won't care about where you got it from.

Windows vista, I did a reinstall but only the latest emails appear, how do I get the remainder in my inbox?

The reason I reinstalled Thunderbird was, because I read somewhere in the community forums that my problem might be solved. The original problem was computer related, I accidentally erased all network protocols on my wife's Japanese PC and we had no internet connection for sometime. When I finally unravelled the connection dilemma and got things working the wife was in shock because her inbox was empty. I reassured her that the emails resided outside the programme. Hence the try at reinstalling Thunderbird. Well, I didn't get the result I was hoping for. The reinstall only fetched the messages that were waiting on the server. Now I'm not sure of what exactly the problem is. But I'm confident it is solvable but can I do it? Am I able?
Thanks for reading this far.

According to your Question Description, you used POP3 mail in Thunderbird. If you didn't remove the OLD Thunderbird Profile, you can get the data.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive. I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
Step 2
After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
Step 3
After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.
