If that is correct, updating your system software may help the Safari toolbar issue.
Click Software Update from your Apple menu OR open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed then try Safari.
If your software is actually up to date, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If you have any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If the address bar reappears, uninstall one extension at a time, quit and reluanch Safari to test until you find the one that's blocking the address bar.

Does the power-on password fully protect user data?

Hi,
I am a T61 user.
First question
Does the power-on password fully protect user data, or could someone just boot from the optical drive or another source?
Second question
If I were to use full disc encryption, could I easily unecrypt it in the future?
Thanks in advance!

As mostly with everything in life, there are pros and cons related to all sort of data protection schemes. At least in therory, everything that can be encripted may also be decripted in some way, be it via reverse engineering or some other technique. - But of course some sort of protection is always better than no protection at all, especially if you deal with lets say sensible data.
The power-on password is not a full data protection at all, to get an idea of the different password protection schemes take a look at the following short descriptions here...
--> http://www.tech-faq.com/ibm-thinkpad-bios-password.shtml
...there are some ways to reset a power-on password and informations how to do so can be found on the net. Further it doesn't help much if somebody takes out the whole harddrive of your Thinkpad.
Performing a full HDD encription, via an embedded ATM hardware chip inside the Thinkpad, or even using some OS related encription mechanism would be more secure for sensible data, as long as you don't get hardware or software trouble with those parts, which are responsible for the build-in encription/decription scheme. So it's always also a good idea to also perform additional periodically backups of your sensible data, so if some worst case scenario might appear, that you are still be able to restore your valuable data.
Hope this gives you at least a little idea about the pros and cons of both of these security schemes.

Unable to type in the "login" keychain password

When I switch on my iMac G5 I am asked for my keychain password: but I can't type in the space provided. I can still use the computer normally, e-mail, internet etc. are all unaffected but the pop-up box asking for the keychain password won't go away, (and won't allow me to type in the password).
The message I get is, "com.apple.internetaccounts.xpc wants to use the "login" keychain"

Only thing that got me around this was a clean install of Mavericks on the new Mac and , when I used migration assistant, avoiding transferring the network settings. It was my mother in law's Mac so I essentially only transferred her documents and mail messages. I then went back later and manually transferred the music and photos. I ' knew' there was some issue with the OS itself because I had tried to clone the old system with Super Duper as an extra back up and even that balked with an error. Shrit Pocket Supprt read the error file and it was they who divined that that my "old" copy of OSX was corrupted. Plus I was umm more familiar with this scenario as this was the second Mac that I was having this issue with. Admittedly both the upgrades in question were from Macs that had been transferred and transferred and transferred etc so I am not surprised that there was something crappy that had got passed through. Bottom line: clean install of Mavericks then manually move over what you need is the cleanest way in this scenario unfortunately. Yes a whole lotta work!

Where can you type in the color hex number in illustrator or photoshop?

There has been a number of occasions that I wanted to work with a particular color and had only the hex number. I can not find how to enter or designate a color using the hex number in Illustrator or Photoshop.
How do you do this?
This should be a simple process I would think. I have been been in number of situations were I could not copy the image, or email the image to myself, but one of the colors in the image was identified by the hex number. So I recorded the number but could not use it because I can find how to gernerate a color by hex number in Illustrator or Photoshop.
I did it by going to Kuler and entering the color and downloading the swatch...but...it cant be that hard can it.

Jinpa Powa,
In the Color palette, the hexadecimal colour values are hidden away in a window (you may use the flyout) with the (partially) misleading name Web Safe RGB.
But you may also get to the option by DoubleClicking the Fill or Stroke box in the Toolbox or any Color Palette window.

Can someone tell me PLEASE how to get to where i can type in my wi-fi password? i can pull up my network, but when i click on it it does nto give me the option to put in my password

this is really irritating me, i can pull up my network, i an see that it has the lock by it. but i can not for the life of me figure out how to put my password in for my wi fi...i know i know prolly a stupid question but please help!

Reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset and you'll be able again to put in your password.
Remember that this will reset the passwords for all networks you connected to up to this point.

When logging in to my Mindbody scheduling program, the characters I type in the username and password box appear in the address search bar above. can't log in

in other words I cannot log in to the site Mindbody, because when using Firefox when I start to type in my username the letters show up in the address bar above, and not in the username box. The same goes with the password box.

Hello wendysue, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

T61 Power On Password ... can`t reset it

I used to have 2 passwords, one on the hard drive and one for the Power On. But I was never asked about them, every time using the fingerprint. Yesteday I have just re-installed the Windows. I shutted down the laptop and when I need it opened I found that I need to put my passwords. I couldn`t remember the Power On Password.
I searched on the net and found this link
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-59377
Turn off the computer.
Remove the battery pack.
Remove the backup battery.
Turn on the computer and wait until the POST ends. After the POST ends, the password prompt does not appear. The POP has been removed.
Reinstall the backup battery and the battery pack.
I did exactly what they say for reseting the Power On Password. Or maybe I might missunderstand the POST meaning. I thought this means the Icon where I am asked about the Power On Password. Am I right? If not, what does "POST ends" means? Because I am sure that this message for the password won`t dissapear.
Please let me know what should I do in this case.

I'm really sorry, but we are dealing with the supervisor password, the most secure password on a ThinkPad. The pictures on the site you linked to are unfortunately a little outdated.
You will need to remember this password and delete it in BIOS. The forum rules forbid discussion on this subject. Discussion of the POP, (Power On Password), is permitted as this is openly published for all to see. e.g. the site you linked to.
You may be able to get some assistance from support if you call them.
Unfortunately, in accordance with the rules, I am locking this thread.
I wish you luck and hope you can resolve this.
Regards

I am having a recurring problem with my screen suddenly enlarging to the point where I cannot use it! The power button is also unresponsive. When it does work and the screen is large, I cannot access the slide at the top.....

I am having a recurring proble with my screen suddenly enalrging to the point where it is unusable. The power button is also not working. When I try to shut off the phone to restart it, I cannot swipe across the top to power off vbecause the screen is so big and unresponsive. Can someone help me with this problem?

Double tap the screen with three fingers to switch off zoom, then go to setting and disable it to make sure you don't switch it on again by accident.
