When I boot up my iMac and hold down ALT it boots straight into windows 7 without giving me the option to boot OSX back up. Have I lost OSX and all my files completely? Please help
I set up boot camp for my iMac with windows 7. All was fine and it gave me the option to boot into windows.. I then used windows for a few hours and shut down the mac to boot back onto OSX when I was done.. This time my mac booted straight to windows 7 even with me holding down the ALT key it gave me no choice.
I'm assuming the boot camp set up was wrong somewhere but is there a way to get back on to OSX now?? Please help
1. Have you tried both Alt keys - maybe your Alt key is dead.
2. Do you have wireless keyboard? Have you tried to change batteries? USB Keyboard?
3. If your Win is installed correctly then you have also installed all windows support software.
There should be Startup manager like on the Mac (next to the clock little bootcamp app or in control pannel) to restart your Mac into the Mac partition.

I am having difficulties in downloading iOS 8.0.2 to my iPhone 4. It is giving me the following message: software update failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 8.0.2. Please help!
very good. You also had posted originally on the Using Apple Support Communities forum (dedicated to "How do I use this forum and find My Stuff in it?"). I had already asked our gracious Hosts to move it to Using iPhone where it now resides and will likely get more prompt attention. In the meantime, you might consider browsing and/or searching Using iPhone for similar issues as your own.
best luck

Sorry for the exceedingly long title...
I have multiple iPod touches, and I just updated one of them to the newest iOS (5.0.1). Now whenever I plug in any of the others, the name of the one I updated appears in Windows explorer. How can I make Windows able to determine which iPod is which again?
64 bit vista home premium.iPod Classic are high drain USB devices, I hope you are not trying to connnect them simultaneously to iTunes, which will definitely hang your USB Host controller, thereby freeze iTunes.
But here is an Apple Support Article on using multiple iPods for iTunes.

my ex girlfriend stepped on my fone and decided to type in the wrong security code numerous times till it got locked for 23,648,410 minutes. the guy at genius bar said i should do a restore but once i done it its now stuck on "conect to itunes" screen. when i connect the phone to my computer, my computer cannot connect to the phone. im travellin on business and desperately need my phone to work. can anyone help?
Are you getting any kind of error message at all regarding the failure to connect, or is it just not seeing it as there?
Any chance your ex managed to actually damage the phone? -
I Keep getting "your startup disk is full" ..... "You need to make more space available on your startup disk by deleting file..." If I can't have an acess, how can I delete files. Please help..
That means the hard drive of your computer is full, and you don't have enough free space on your computer, to do what you are trying to do.
You need to clear up space on your computer.
If you hard drive is full, check the following places to ensure they are not holding unwanted data.
- your trash can in the dock
- if you use iPhoto, your trash in iPhoto - launch iPhoto, and select trash in the left hand column. iPhoto has it's own trash, and is often overlooked
- your download folder - finder / home user / downloads - every time you download something, it stores it here. This is often overlooked as well
- do you have more than one user on the computer? If you do, ensure they are needed. If not, delete them, and the contents of their home folders
If you hard drive is very full, you may want to consider the following:
- putting in a newer larger hard drive - (call you local apple store for prices on this)
- deleting data off your computer
- moving data to an external drive - (iPhoto Libraries, iTunes Libraries or iMovie events, as they are the biggest space hogs) -
