VGA: Changed resolution, TV says... not supported... now I can't get back ?
This is odd,
I changed the resolution of my MAC MINI. Then te TV says back: Display not supported but the MAC does not go back to the previous setting...
What should I do to solve it?
Thank you for your help sofar... Unfortunately that did not work out yet. I tried restarting and after the grey startup screen with Apple logo I still receive the message "Not supported". Even trying to go up- and down with the arrow keys after seconds of waiting does not change anything.
Isn't there some kind of menu available to change settings at startup or so?
This problem exists with VGA due to my fiddeling <?> I also have a DVI connection which gives an image so I can get into the MAC. Unfortunately the DVI picture is crap. (see my other posting on that matter
So I would like to go back to my VGA picture which is preferable. Is there anywhere in de MAC where I can change settings for VGA when I am in DVI mode ?

I have a MacBook in Japan. I had to reinstall my system using an older version of the disc that came with my computer because I was locked out and now I can't get back any of my purchased applications, not any of the software updates. On my account it shows the purchases. How can I get them back? None of the websites, such as iTunes seem to explain that...
Thank you in advance,
ErikaGo to an Apple store or authorized Apple service provider.

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

I followed the steps to restore to factory settings now I can't get back my info from a prior backup. My pads screen was frozen on the connect to iTunes I needed to restore. I had to setup my pad as if it was new. How do I acess my prior backup
Once again, KP is correct, but I just want to add that if you don't see the backup in the drop down menu on the summary page of iTunes when you choose the restore from backup option, then the backup is unfortunately gone. If you backup your computer, the iPad backup should probably be in that computer backup. I use Time Machine with my MacBook Pro and can access backups from months ago.
On a side note, I also archive backups from time to time. If you right click on a backup name in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>Devices (Windows) or iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) you can save that backup or archive it. It will be date and time stamped. I have no idea why I do this to the degree that I do it, but I probably have 12-14 iPad backups archived in iTunes. -

After resetting a password, you may need to repair your keychain:
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com. -
I made my administrator account a parental control account, at the time of creating it, the system asked for my administrator password, to restart the computer, and the new account was created. When I accessed that account at the parental control menu I could see my main account on the list and i deleted the account from that list, and now i'm trying to get back to it but I'm not able to because every time i restart the computer brings me back to the account I created. I searched for help on the web and it says to go to users and select the account I want to restore but I can't do it. Please help.

I originally had acrobat 7 in my machine when Adobe told me that they won't support it and gave me 8 by a direct download to my pc about 4 months ago. Great worked fin today i uploaded U Torrent and suddenly all my acrobat files turned into U torrents so i clicked on open with and clicked on acrobat and now the files show filemaker Pro which i do have installed.. I need to get back to acrobat for my bills that i send out .. i am disabled and run a small business from home.. all my invoices are now corrupt can you help please..
It sounds like you do not have a backup. You might consider a restore to before you installed the problem program. Can you open Acrobat by going to the Acrobat folder and clicking on Acrobat? If so, go to Help>Repair. After that, try the updates if you are not current. Hopefully that will resolve the problem. There is a chance that the program you downloaded as not a proper version and had a virus.

I was cut off from the support chat and can't get back on re: re-installing PS after uninstalling
I'm using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) and CS 6 from a dvd
Keyboard shortcuts suddenly disappeared and I was unable to reset them.
I held down cmd-opt-shift and started Photoshop. Saw "Delete Photoshop Settings file", released the keys, clicked Yes, and let Photoshop finish loading. Rebooted computer. Still nothing.
I uninstalled PS, tried to to install from dvd and gave me "The serial number you entered is invalid."
Contacted Adobe support chat and Naveen gave me a download link. Still gave me: "The serial number you entered is invalid."
Then firefox crashed. Tried to get back on chat and could not and now my only "recommended option" is Forums. So here I am. Don't think that there's much anyone can do to help as I have uninstalled PS, but hoping to hear from Adobe support...Got back onto chat but have to contact tech support during their PST hours
to deal with keyboard shortcuts problem.

I just installed Maverick and I'm not happy. Too many other things not working. How can Iget back to 10.6.9?
If you have a backup, it is very easy to revert back to your previous system setup.
If you don't, then the downgrade is much harder to accomplish as it require a complete clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Before going down that laborious road! maybe you tell us what issues you are having.
In additon, Please download, install and run Etrecheck.
Etrecheck was developed as a simple Mac diagnostic tool by a regular Apple Support forum user and contributor named Etresoft.

I don' t want to loose my data!!
As of the current version, I don't believe there is a way to tell the App Store app to ignore updates. You can send Apple feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/, but in short there is nothing you can do. As long as you don't try to update the app (either pressing the update button or update all), the app should continue to work fine with your data remaining intact. It has been a while since I've tried to update an app that isn't supported (last time was under iOS 3 or 4), so I can't comment about what would happen if you did try to update it. (My best guess is it will display an alert saying it is not compatible, and leave the previous version there, but not take away the 'update' in the APp Store app updates page).

I changed my Apple ID and Password, now I can't get into iCloud.
I changed my Apple ID and Password, so now when I get on my iPhone it asks me for my password to my old Apple ID, which doesn't work. I've gone into settings to change the Apple ID, but it won't let me. I've tried to delete the account, but it asks for my password. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I called Apple Support. The solution is absolutely ridiculous. You have to go back and change your Apple ID to your old Apple ID and then go back into iCloud and iTunes on your phone and delete or reset the account. Basically, you are supposed to anticipate these issues prior to changing your Apple ID, or else you're locked out of your iCloud and iTunes. I thought Apple was smarter than this. Very disappointed.
Apple provided a procedure, listed in the first article I posted, that instructs you to log out of all Apple ID related services prior to changing your primary email address. Granted, I'd like to see a reminder link listed at appleid.apple.com next to the Primary Email Address edit option, but Apple does provide a correct procedure, plus a way to fix it if you don't follow the procedure.
In fact, the last article I linked to gives you three separate steps to try. If the Apple Support Advisor jumped straight to step three, instead of having you try steps one & two first, then that was not correct on their part.
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Complaining about an issue arising when you don't follow their instructions is like complaining that you lost all of your data because you never backed it up to iTunes or iCloud as they recommend, and you lost data after an iOS update. In fact, the very first step of [iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Support - Apple] states: "Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes." And it even includes a link if you don't know how to do that.
When you use the Apple Support Articles properly, you avoid 99.9% of all potential problems. -

Was checking email on my iPad. Tried to reply to. An email using yahoo. Now the reply email is frozen and I can't use the e mail box for anything. What do I do?
Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if it works properly when you re-open the app (you may lose the reply/draft) : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I get the following error:
Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?
I will reboot but the following message keeps on popping up when I try to start Fireofox. How can I fix this?You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
(1) Page Info > Permissions tab
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
(2) about:permissions
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
Any luck?
