Upgraded to 6.0.2 and all of my bookmarks were lost. is there anything I can do?
I have tried blog suggestions to get back my bookmarks but they were not clear as to which platform. I have a MacBook OS 10.5.8. None of the suggestions worked to bring back my bookmarks from the previous version of Firefox. In addition, I was going through the Firefox tutorials and I do not have the Firefox button above the tab bar which seems critical for a lot of the functionality. Can you help? thanks, Michelle
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I just downloadeId the ios 6.1 and all of my contacts disappeared. Is there anything I can do to get them back?
Assuming that you backed up prior to deleting your contacts, navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now. -

No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.

I just downloaded the ios 6 on my iTouch 4th gen, and my email won't work, my wifi won't connect, my iPod is more sluggish, and honestly I'm really frustrated. Is there anything I can do?
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple. -

Yes, connect to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed and restore it. If it doesn't show up in iTunes when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

CheersI'm hearing there is a new model out of my Singer sewing machine. Should I replace it?
(I really do own and use this one. Amazing example of 20th Century mechanical engineering. Sews through leather and almost anything; does what I need, but it's missing the Thunderbolt option. Too bad, no computer will serve its function this long.) -
I have an older iMac (OS X 10.4.11), and I forgot my master password. Is there anything I can do to reset the master password?
Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
* mount -uw /
* rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
* shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

i changed the password on my phone and now i cant remember what it was and im locked out. is there anything i can do that doesnt erase all the data on my phone? help please..
In that case, you will have to install iTunes on the computer, put the phone into recovery mode, and restore it as a new device. It will be wiped. Everything on it will be lost.
There is no way to bypass a forgotten lock code. If there were, it wouldn't be much good. -
I updated my laptop and now the majority of my contents seem to have been wiped. Is there anything I can do to recover them? My backup was connected at the time so it has already backed-up to the computer's present state. Most photos/ Itunes/ Mail... has been lost. I have some stuff but only up until January 2013.
If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection. -
I updated my iPhone with the new update..and then it turned off...instead of turning back on it tells me to plug it into iTunes..and when I do iTunes tells me that my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored..is there anything I can do without restoring it?
Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

My track pad has not been working properly for awhile and my disc drive it damaged. I went to update my macbook pro to maveric and it is now frozen and not allowing me to click anything. Is there anything that can be done to fix this without buying a new one? Its from early 2009
ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro. -
Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to get my app data back? All levels completed on games have been erased, and I am unable to use in app purchases which I did purchase, such as the Mighty Eagle in Angry Birds. Thanks for your help
Go to the Device tab in iTunes' Preferences and se what the date iis of the backup(s). Apple only retaines the latest backup unless you restor from a backup and that one is also kept.

Everything that was saved on my Firefox including bookmarks for work, important add on with things saved on them, and all of my previous downloads. One minute it was working i quit Firefox then opened it up again and all of my items had been deleted. Please help!
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My computer hard drive crashed and all my i-tunes were lost - can I re-load them from my iPod?
My hard drive crashed and destroyed all the i-tunes that I had burned from my CDs and purchased. The are still on my iPod Classic, can I load them on the computer, I have re-installed the i-tune program and the last purchase I made was re-installed, but nothing else. I don't want to sync my iPod, iPhone and Shuffle and lose them. What should I do?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the reloaded PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

It's not even a month old, but as soon as I turn it on, the fan turns right on and my computer sounds like it is going to explode. It also gets very warm. Any ideas?
check to see what you have loading in your login items. delete the ones you don't need.
open activity monitor, and under all processes, see what's using most of your cpu resources. highlight the ones using the highest % cpu and hit quit process.
see if the sorts it out for you.
