TS2570 my machintosh HD partition quit decrypting. How do I recover the files from the HD? I have replaced the 320 GB 5200RPM Hitach and I have the old one.

Hello,
Was running osx Lion, newest update. Using Hitachi 320 GB 5200RPM HD. I5, 4 gb DDR3. Mac Book Pro, 13 inch. Heres what happened:
Opened Disk Utility Via Launchpad> Utilities upon normal boot into home screen. Ran Disk verify on Mactintosh HD partition and was told the disk needed repair. Restart, cmmd-R upon restart. Run disk utility, verify disk on Main Disk (whole drive), Needs repair: run permissions repair, run disk repair. Completes both processes on my Main disk (the whole 320 GB).... Machintosh HD now is greyed out, and will not unlock with my password to run Verify Disk. Attempt restart in safe mode, fail. Disk utility refuses to recognize drive, Machitosh HD turns to Disk 13 after failed attempt. Select Macintosh HD, Turn off encryption. Attempt password access to unlock and mount, fail will not accept password.
Trying from Terminal/ command line now via cmmd-r restart.... diskutil list.... sees Macintosh HD 3 tiers. will unlock Macintosh HD (bottom tier), but fails to mount. Second tier, says decryption is happening, but no direction is given.
What I have been told by the computer guys I tool it to is that the HD froze while it was being decrypted, and they cannot extract the data. There is nothing mechanically wrong with the HD. I had to buy a new HD, and Keep the old one with hopes of extracting the Data....
What do I do here guys? How do I mount the drive externally to connect to my mac book pro?
What sort of file recovery program is going to get these files back?
Why did this happen?
Thank you guys in advance.

Instead of using Time Capsule or Time Machine to access the archived backup, use Migration Assistant to restore the backup from Time Capsule. Worked like a charm.

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com. If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it. (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album. Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored. Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another. Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

I have purchased a IPad2 and I want to give my old IPad to my daughter. How do I clear the old IPad and transfer my apps and purchased item to the new IPad2?

You can copy any purchased items that aren't already on your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy everything over to the new iPad then you can back up the old iPad by right-clicking (command-clicking on a Mac) the iPad under Devices when connected to your computer's iTunes, and you can then restore that backup onto the new iPad.
When you are happy that eveything has copied over you can log out of you account on the old iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then wipe its content via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Setings.

New firefox doesn't work, how do I get the old one back?

From the email newsletter, I downloaded the new firefox. I said yes when asked if I wanted to replace the one that was there. I then found out that my computer's operating system will not work with the new firefox, and my old one is gone. How do I get the previous version back?

-> Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
* Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/7.0.1/system-requirements/
-> Firefox 3.6.23 (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
-> For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:
* http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
* http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/
Check and tell if its working.

Firefox 4 sux how do I get the old one back?

The navigation bar no longer has icons for home, refresh, etc. Why do you have to jump all over the screen when, before, a simple toolbar took care of everything? I want my 3.6 back. Never thought IE would look attractive. Always loved Firefox because less is more but this is stupid.

Yeah well be careful about going back to the previous version.....it won't be working like it should either!!! I have found that since returning to 3.6.16 now just about every page I open gets the "Server Not Found" and no matter how many times I refresh it is the same thing. Also some of the features from firefox 4 such as the "Home" and "Refresh" icons remained to the right side. ALSO when I reloaded back to the previous version and opened it for the first time it even remembered the previous tabs that were open! Now please tell me how a freshly downloaded version could do that! I have done all of the suggested fixes in Windows Firewall exceptions for the "Server Not Found" and of course this did nothing. So my point is Good Luck! I really loved my Firefox.....not so much anymore.

How do I recover deleted files from an iPod?

I deleted 2 recordings that I had made on my iPod Touch by mistake.
I need a method of recovering those files.
I need to be able to mount the unit on my desktop so that I can use File Recovery Utility to get back the files.
Itunes grabs it when it is plugged in, so it doesn't appear on the desktoop
How do I get the IPod to mount.

Solved my own question..
I was able to mount the Ipod 4 as a Disk Drive using iExplorer software.
I then used standard FAT32 Disc Recovery software to scan the entire contents of the internal drive for deleted data. Nothing found. This is due to the Ipod Touch 4th generation using Flash Drive technology, once its gone, its gone. Flashed off the device like ROM / RAM, instead of leaving a ghost image behind like stanard disc drives.
Lesson learned. Do not use Itunes, until they have some type of software change in which synching does not wipe your device, never had this trouble on a Zune or Sony mp3 player.

Changed apple ID...but ipod still has old one listed. How can I get the old one off the ipod and input the new one?

Okay, changed my apple ID in itunes. When I try to download using the ipod directly to download a song it comes up with my old ID. How can I have it default to my new ID. I've already sync'd it and that didn't do it. Need help please.
Thanks

- Did you actually change you Apple ID or did you just change the email address associated with the Apple ID. The Apple ID (which is an email address) can me different that the email address associated with your account. Also see:
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
- Did you try going to Settings>Store and signing out of the existing account and into the new one?
