My computer says that the storage disk is almost full, and when I looked at my storage information it says I have too many movies. So I went back into iTunes and I try to delete my movies (which are all under iCloud) and they aren't removed from my computer nor does space clear on my computer.

I got to work yesterday and opened my iBook. Nothing. So I turned it on. Nothing. I checked the battery and it was dead. I let it charge all day it did not charge. I put a new battery in it today. Before I put the battery in it had 3 bars of life left. As soon as I put it in it went down to 1. It still won't power on. Any ideas? All of my info for work is on this computer. I am getting a Macbook soon so is there any way to transfer info from a non working computer?

I have once filled the addressbook. That was wrong. Want to start over again (with MS Outlook contacts- vcf) but do get duplicates. It seems as the addressbook is not completely empty. How do I get it completely empty.
It's a hassle anyway to get Outlook contacts (2003 version) into the iMac addressbook.

I recently added photos to my Facebook account and noticed that it autofilled my copyright info that I remember entering when I set up my new iMac. However, I realized that there's a typo. Where can I find where this information is saved so I can change it? I checked my address book and the copyright information is not there. I'm new to OSX Lion so I'm at a loss with this feature

I have an Iomega external hard drive attached to use as back up. When I ran the first aid on that the system froze. I turned the computer off, waited and then rebooted. Everything came on again, but this time, my screen saver was the original one, not the one I use, all the added icons from the desk top bar were missing, back to the original ones loaded at time of purchase, all my documents are missing, as in everything except for my pictures on the hard drive, all the info stored on my desk top, everything GONE. NO sign of where anything went. The system seems to work fine as far as that goes, but there is none of the materials from the past 5 years of use. Can't even find my emails from Apple, nothing. That's all gone as well. Called up Apple support but because the warranty is no longer in effect, will have to pay for service. Am ready to do that if this fails.
