After updating to 9.0.1, the drop-down Bookmarks list "freezes" open when I hover with mouse on any entry. Have to start over if I land on the wrong bookmark (I have imac w OSX 10.5.8)

To clarify, I'm talking about the toolbar at the very top of the screen (After the Apple icon, it's File, Edit View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Window and Help) If I move the mouse to the "Bookmarks" choice I get the same drop down menu as before, i.e., "Show all bookmarks", Bookmark this page, etc.
What's different is that if I hover the mouse on a bookmark folder that has more than one entry, that folder comes to the front and stays there. I have to move the mouse back to the top of the page to "unfreeze" so I can choose another bookmark. It never worked this way before, and I didn't make any other changes except updating to 9.0.1.
Any ideas?

Firstly IF I have an un-bootable install, why would it suddenly become bootable if I used it externally rather than internally?
Anyways I tried to Create Image from my Macintosh HD and save it to external, and got this error:
"Unable to Create: input/output error"
This happened twice. I am about to use a different external HD, one which also has more space.
And Klaus,
I did read through the links you supplied. In the first link there is a giant list of all the files the archive function backs up. It backs up a lot, but not quite everything. If it backed up everything, they could just say "everything".
The directory I'm concerned with is the /Applications one. It seems the only things backed up in this directory are specific Apple apps, for exapmple:
/Applications/Chess.app
/Applications/Clock.app
/Applications/DVD Player.app
/Applications/Extras/BlastApp.app
I have many many GB worth of other apps I'd love to be able to load back up, rather than spend hours re-installing them.
But I will try to use the Archive and Install feature though, once I have safely backed up my files. I found this on the Apple site also:
Archive and Install installations require the largest amount of available disk space because you need to have room to preserve your existing System and the new one you are installing
On my 250GB HD, my installation uses 200GB, and I only have about 40GB free. Will Archive and Install be able to work with this little space?
Thanks

I'm running firefox on a Macbook Air 10.6.8, and the bookmark folders in the bookmarks drop down menu don't open when I mouse over them or click on them. How do I fix this?

I've run diagnostics on the mac air, reloaded firefox, and tried eerything I could think of. The 'show all bookmarks' page works perfectly- it's just the dropdown menu that has problems. All the folders have numerous items in them except for one- which only has two. That one works- the pop out menu for that folder comes out on the left side. All the arrows for the folders are on the right side (pointing right) of the of the drop down bookmark menu, pointing at the right edge of the computer screen. The dropdown menu appears on the right half of the screen, close to the edge. Strangely, my main computer is an iMac desktop, and my mozilla bookmarks dropdown menu folders open on top of the dropdown menu, not out on the side.

I figgered it out. The resolution of the screen was set at 600x800, so the bookmarks dropdown menu took up more space than usual. The pop out folder contents didn't have enough room to pop out. With a resolution for a slightly smaller display the drop down bookmarks menu functions perfectly.

Why does the color change in my forms when I hover with mouse?

I have cgi script with several forms.
The default font color on my forms is black.
On new firefox, when I hover the form area with my mouse the fonts turn green. Why?

New version of Thunderbird has limited the size of the drop-down that shows my open emails. How do I change it back to show all open ones?

There is an icon in the upper right corner that, when clicked on, drops down a list of open emails (i.e. a list of tabs). In the previous version of Thunderbird it would expand (vertically) to list all emails. However now it is a set vertical size and this is terrible and basically defeats the purpose. The purpose of that drop down was so that I did not have to scroll through all my open tabs to find an email. Now I have to do that again, as it is a set vertical size with arrows up and down to scroll through the list. How do I get the old functionality back, or solve my problem of somehow seeing a list of all open tabs? Thanks!

Is there a setting in about:config that controls the length of the alltabs list? I would look for such a thing, and change the setting if it is there. A setting of -1 should make it limitless.

Why would that be irritating?? I suspect you are after Mavericks, in order to get Mavericks you have to have the Mac App Store app which did not become available until Snow Loepard 10.6.6. Once you have purchased and installed SL then install the 10.6.8 combo update, run Software Update again and install all suggested updates and finally you can get Mavericks.

I don't see anything specific to your webcam issue but there are a number of Windows 8.1 related drivers listed on the Support site.

My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box no go

My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.

I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

After updating my i phone to the latest ios 7.0 software the apps I purchased are still accessible through the app store but not on the home screen how do i get them back

After updating my iphone 4s to the latest ios version 7 the apps that i purchased are no longer on the home screen and can only be found on the app store.. how can i get them back on the home screen? please help

You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.

Immediately after updating Acrobat Pro XI to the latest version, the software no longer displays imags in pdf docs.

Immediately after updating Acrobat Pro XI to the latest version, the software no longer displays images in pdf docs. All the boxes where images are supposed to be are solid grey. Old documents that worked are no longer displayed correctly and new documents I make do not display images. All grey boxes. Worked fine before the update. Suggestions?

Hi precious_star,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
Open Acrobat and go to "Edit > Preferences > Page Display" and check whether 'Show large images' option is checked.
Is this issue specific for one PDF?
If possible, please share the file with me via email so that I can also check at my end.
I have sent you a message with my contact id details.
Hope to get your response.

Hi all
Like to share that my AV Adapter problem is solved ... brought it to Apple Service Center as a last resort after the new iOS v5.1 did not solve mine like some others have theirs solved.
In fact, the Apple Service Center tried my AV Adapter and find that it does not work with their iphone and ipad too and flagged for a replacement.
Just this week collected the replacement and tested that the replaced adapter works !
So this "unsupported device" error msg could also be due to faulty adapter .... although it is unbelievable that a "simple" wired connector could so easily breakdown after 1 time use ! I never did believe that it can be broken so easily as we hardly used it after the first testing with our TV on HDMI.
Closing this chapter of mine finally.

After updating to 4.4.2 the notification light does not change colors. It only blinks one color. How do I fix it?

Hello Saralynn43. Getting new updates is always fun, but then there are certain changes that can take some getting used to! This may be one of these cases where there may have been a change done to the notification system. What are the notifications that have been affected with the color change? Let us know as we'd like to look into this for you. Thank you.

After updating to Firefox5.1, Nvidia kernal mode driver frequently "not responding & crashed then recovered", along with crashing of the Firefox browser.

After updating to Firefox5.1, Nvidia kernal mode driver frequently "not responding & crashed then recovered", along with crashing of the Firefox browser.

I have the same problem. I just upgraded to Win 7, no problems. Then I upgraded to FF 4.0, and I kept getting Nvidia Video Card crashes. I always undo my last computer change/install when something like this happens, so I immediately uninstalled 4.0, and went back to my older version of Firefox. No problems ever since.

After update iOS 8 some of the apps don't work please help me

After update iOS 8 some of the apps don't work please help me As fast as you can

There can be some of that. Unfortunately, it's up to the app developers to make their app work with the iOS.
So checking for updates can help. You can also look at the reviews for the app, see if others have the same issue. If 8 has broken the app, all you can do is wait.
In some cases, a reset can help. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again. (this can work if the app is fine with iOS8 but is just glitching...it's a harmless reboot of the system)
Another thing to try is to force quit the app(s) and force them to reboot. Double tap the home button. Flick the preview for the app up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button to exit the mode. Try your app again. If it's just a glitch then this sometimes clears it up.
I know once I updated my devices I then had several updates pushed out - updates that required iOS8 so weren't available before the update.
