When I start iTunes I get the following message. "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-42404)" I have installed the latest version of iTunes but still get this message. Can anyone help.

Hello mustangcim243,
iTunes has various components bundled with it that it requires for general usage. I advise that we completely remove iTunes and all of these related components, verify that they have been removed, then reinstall. To do so, please follow the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Note: it is important to remove the 7 components in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
If the above does not resolve your issue, I recommend we reset the SC Info folder:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

(See Step 4: Remove the SC Info folder)
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have replaced my ibook hard drive but when I start up I get a folder with a flashing question mark. I have tried installing the OSX disk using the "C" key but can't get any further than the flashing "?." What do I do? What is the problem?

I have replaced my ibook hard drive but when I start up I get a folder with a flashing question mark. I have tried installing the OSX disk using the "C" key but can't get any further than the flashing "?." What do I do? What is the problem?

Which iBook do you have?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.

Can you still boot to the Recovery partition using Command and R whilst booting? Or did you wipe the Recovery partition as well?
If your Recovery partition is still intact, you can simply boot to it and reinstall the OS via the Internet. If you wiped the Recovery partition, you can hold down Command, option and R keys whilst booting and boot into true Internet Recovery mode. You'll be able to reformat the hard drive, erasing all partitions (format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a dingle GUID partition) and then reinstall the OS that shipped with your machine.
Note that you should use a physical Ethernet connection when restoring over the Internet - it's three times slower if you use wifi.
Try your Recovery partition first and if that doesn't work, use Internet Recovery.

HT3964 I just upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion and the computer shut down after installation. Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion and the computer shut down after installation.
Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again
whenever I turn it on it loads that far and then closes.
HELP!

Restore your bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup of Snow Leopard, launch Disk Utility from the install disc, repair the boot volume, and reinstall Lion.

Hi morales2k,
Here is a link for a relatively cheap OS that would be compatible with your Mac. Its a little old but will get you back on track. This is OS X 10.3
http://www.amazon.com/Mac-10-3-Panther-OLD-VERSION/dp/B0000E6NK9/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U TF8&qid=1384575314&sr=8-1&keywords=os+x+10.3
This is a newer version of OS X (10.4 Tiger). Its more expensive, but will get more updates than Panther...
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Mac-10-4-Tiger-VERSION/dp/B0002G71T0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U TF8&qid=1384575391&sr=8-1&keywords=os+x+10.4
This is the highest OS that the PowerBook can run, and is more expensive. The biggest advantage of this OS (Leopard) is that it will get the most updates available for PowerPc Macs...
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Version-10-5-6-Leopard-VERSION/dp/B000FK88JK/ref=sr_ 1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1384575583&sr=8-3&keywords=os+x+10.5
Any of these will get your Mac back to normal operation. Just insert the CD/DVD and follow the on screen instructions!
Good Luck!

Firefox is deleting my development extensions when firefox loads, how can I stop this, I am losing work

I am developing Firefox addons. Ever since the update to 18.0 Firefox is deleting my development extensions/folders from the profile folder when firefox loads, how can I stop this, I am losing work!

It seems to have stopped not sure if it was a version update or disabling Windows EFS encryption of the profile folders. I have noticed EFS seems to cause issues in general.

I have PS CS4 Extended. When I start it I get a message that I need to reinstall it. I search Adobes and found a download for Mac which I installed and when started entered myserial number. It was not accepted. Any tips?

The file downloaded is named NikCollection_1.2.8_0511-456.dmg. The installation went ok but when I start photoshop i am prompted for my serial number,
I have it on the back on my CD case (but my CD is not working any more) and it is the same number as it registered at my Adobe account.
Photoshop starts ok but after a while it prompts for my serial number. When I enter my serial number it is not accepted.
Grateful for any tips.

Did you go here for the installer? Download CS4 products
When you enter the serial number see that you get the serial number correct, in fact copy and paste from the one in your account.
You should see a green checkmark.
If all goes well you should be allowed to install and activate. If activation fails, contact Customer Care by phone or Chat.

When Firefox freezes, how can I shut it down, and re-start it without it automatically going to the site which caused the problem in the first place ?

I have Firefox set so that when I start up, I have it set so that it automatically goes to my home page. However when it freezes, which it does on a daily basis, and I have to shut it down and re-start, it automatically goes to the site which caused the problem in the first place.
If I was a hacker, I would probably find it quite fun to design a virus to reintroduce bugs after they had been exterminated - except that Firefox seem to have got there first.

Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
When Firefox resumes after a crash, instead of resuming automatically, it will display a list of your previous windows and tabs and you can deselect problem pages.
(This assumes it wasn't a private browsing session.)

FF used to reopen the web sites that were open previously when I start FF. It no longer does this. How can I get this feature working again?

Use case:
1. I open FF (v 5.0)
2. I open multiple websites, all in different tabs
3. I close FF
4. Later I come back to FF, and the tabs and sites are no longer there. I wish them to reappear so I can pick up where I left off, but do not know, and cannot find in your help files, how to set FF to reopen them when I restart it.

You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
You can also use Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

When i start up keeping getting the spining disc how do resolve this

when i start up i keep getting a spining disc, and it takes 3 or 4 times before i can login can anybody tell me how i can resolve this problem
thanks glyn

Which spinning disk do you refer to: the on on the grey screen under the Apple logo or the spinning beach ball in OS X? Also, once you are able to log in, is the system sluggish? I.e do you get the spinning beach ball whilst trying to open apps etc?
To give you a specific answer, we need to find out where the system is stalling.

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I installed Mountain Lion and now some times when I start my mac it look with a black screen and white text. I'm really worry about it, can somebody help me?

I installed Mountain Lion in my IMac and now, some times, when I start up my mac it looks with a black screen and white text. I'm really worry about it, can somebody help me?

Don't worry, this is probably just Verbose Mode. It's perfectly harmless. If you're not specifically invoking it, than it's probably down to an unwanted setting in NVRAM. See this article on resetting NVRAM if it continues to bother you.
