Sent My Laptop in for Repairs and got my Password Reset but don't know what it is
So, I had to have my laptop sent in to a locale (well, about 100 miles away) repair shop, and they seemed to of reset my profile password, and I have no idea what it is. I've tried e-mailing them, but they aren't replying. Calling them would be pointless because they are Middle Eastern and can not be understood. I'd hate to have to go back all the way to the store and try to understand what the heck they are saying when there is an easier way to get this fixed up.
EDIT: This is not the BIOS password, it's the password to my profile on my laptop. It's the only profile on my laptop, but it's not the Admin account for some reason, there is no Admin account, and I have no idea why. I tried using ophcrack with no luck.
I even bought Windows Password Key, but when I try it, it starts the program, then the laptop just restarts by itself. Security measure, perhaps?
simplest..... google for "linux boot windows password reset" ... take the first link to howtogeek.com ... it has a disc image and instructions on resetting a windows password.

I received an email this am telling me I was charged for a purchase I made of .99 this am. I did not purchase anything. I contacted PayPay and was informed it was for a recurring monthly .99 fee..I don't know what that is and don't want it. What is it? PayPal cancelled any further payments for this. I was informed I needed to request refund from ITunes. I did that. Why was I charged a .99 recurring fee? I purchased, or thought I did, an app called "Appzilla2" on Jan 10 for .99 cents. Does this mean I must pay .99/monthly to use it? If so, please cancel the appzilla.
We are itunes users just like you. We cannot cancel anything.
Look at your purchase history and see what the charge is for. Contact itunes support if need be. -

I am trying to sync my iphone with a new itunes library. The iphone is askin for an 'exchange' password. I don't know what this is or where to find it.
Sounds like you do have an Exchange account setup on your phone. Have a Gmail or Hotmail account? They can both be setup as Exchange accounts. Have a work email account?

There's a black and white striped glitch on the left side of my screen on my Macbook Air! Its happened before and has been an easy fix, usually just restart or turn off my computer but don't know what else to do. Is there anything I can try now? I wont be able to make it to the Apple store until tomorow and would prefer if there was something I could do that didnt cost money, my computers very new and I really need help.
Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?
If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance
You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
Here's the link for the US. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it. -

Hi - clock in tool bar stuck, somebody in another post suggest bettertouchtool, but don't know what that is and can't get to magnifying glass next to clock, get the error-beachball. I'm a novice w/ Mac. Thx.
HI ..
Open a Finder window.
Select your user account on the left in the Sidebar. It has a small house icon.
Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
