This message keeps popping up at the top of the page: "Hey, this is important: We don't have a password recovery email address or phone number for your account. If you lose access, we may not be able to help you. Add info now |Dismiss" How do I stop it?
I have provided the information asked for but the message keeps popping up.
Doesn't sound like that message is coming from Firefox, Mozilla wouldn't need a phone number for anything. Firefox does use an email address for the Firefox Sync feature, but not a phone number - the Sync feature is automated.
Please provide a screenshot of that message, including the URL of the website where that happens. <br />

i have nothing on this macbook air just iPhoto and iTunes and the error startup dic full message keeps coming up and the storage is full of other i don't know what to do.how do i delete all of this?
First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
i have a problem mackeeper keep opening up another tab and these little green circle stuff keep popping up on the page and overtime my cursor hover over it it pops up a little box with stuff in it does anyone have an idea how to get rid of it?
You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/2c232f1e4d12129e
/System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address. If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad. How do I stop this?
On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID and make sure the phone number is selected - this will cause new messages sent from your iPhone to appear to come from your iPhone phone number.
(I actually prefer to have my email selected, so that when I message someone from my iPhone and they reply, it goes to both my iPhone and iPad)
Also, when you send a message from your iPhone, make sure you're not replying within an existing conversation (that was created on your iPad and linked to your email). Just start a new conversation (even if it's to the same person) by going to the Messages app, going back to "Messages" (top left corner) if you're already looking at a conversation, and then clicking the Compose icon in the top right. -
Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?
Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud). -

i lost my iphone 5 and i don't have i tunes.can i use my phone number or any other way to get the serial number?
No.
Serial number is available If you have:
1. The iPhone box when you bought it, if you still have it.
2. The receipt, where you bought the iPhone
3. Computer iTunes, if you have synced or backuped the iPhone.
4. https://supportprofile.apple.com if you have iPhone registered -
I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???
Email addresses into what?
Each user should have their own account and password to log in. Each is independent of the other. So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail.
That's the way it should be set up. Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account? If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts. But everything else in the system is shared. -
Does FaceTime audio call use the Apple ID instead of email address or phone number?
My wife and I each have our own iphones. The Facetime audio calls come through OK for each one of us, as the calls are set to be received on each of our own email address and phone numbers (so there is no issue here). But when Facetime audio calls come through, both phones ring at the same time. I am guessing the FT audio calls (unlike the video calls) are using the Apple ID which is the same for both our phones. Is this the case? And if so, is the only fix, to set the phones on different ID's? Why are audio and video calls set up differently?
It depends upon the device that they are on - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
To call someone using FaceTime, you need their phone number or email address. Which one you use is determined by the device you are calling:
When calling someone using an iPhone 4 or later: Try the phone number of the person you are calling first. If the person has registered an email with FaceTime, you can use that as well.
When calling someone using an iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac: Use the email address designated for FaceTime of the person you are calling.
On iPad 2, iPod touch, and FaceTime for Mac, you need to add a person as a contact using the FaceTime or Contacts app before you can call them. -
If I delete my messages why do old messages keep popping up in the search iPhone feature?
i frequently delete my messages to create more room on my phone....
today i I was searching for a app and it popped up with old messages with content from a long time ago of course when you tap on it it does not exist but is there a way to make this stop happening?To the best of my knowledge, the only way to clear the cache is to restore the phone as new, not from back up. Eventually, those messages will be overwritten in the cache.

Imessage sends messages from email despite selecting phone number for "start new conversations from"
On both my phone and my computer I have selected to start new conversations from my phone number, but just now I continued a conversation from my macbook and it sent it from my email address instead of my phone number! All the other answers I found for this question were outdated, I couldn't find "Caller ID" in settings for iOS 8 or Yosemite.
If this is a continuing conversation, I don't believe the device looks at it as a new conversation, which is what that setting is for, from what I understand. If there is a checkmark by the phone number on all devices, then it should start there, but if the conversation was originally started from the email, I believe it will continue until you start a new conversation.

I restored my ipod but the same message keeps popping up all the time
I have a 2GB iPod Nano, and while I was trying to charge it today a message popped up from iTunes saying that the ipod is in a recovery mode and I must restore it so that it works with itunes. But when I restored it the same message popped up again. I restarted the computer and the laptop, I reinstalled itunes but I still get the same message. The ipod works and charges fine but it's empty now and I can't upload my songs to it because itunes keeps giving me the "restore" message. Please help me, I don't know what to do!
a relentless recovery mode message like that can sometimes be caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. for troubleshooting advice on that possibility, see the following document:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"
