Changinf from EARTHLINK dial up to COX hi-speed cable

I have the original IMAC flat screen that has operated flawlessly since new in 2002. OSX has been upgraded to Panther some time ago. I now want to change from EARTHLINK dial up to COX hi-speed cable. Please advise the appropriate methods, settings, etc., to keep the internet villans from harming my IMAC.

Well, you really don't have to worry all that much. But it's really simple to set up a high-speed account.
Normally, you'll get the cable modem before anything else. Don't touch it yet, though! After the internet is going to your house, then set up the cable modem. The first time you run it, hook it up to the computer, and it should prompt you to input the username and password, ect. That should be it. Just plug it in and you're ready to go!
Of course, you should use COX's instructions over mine!

I changed from a dial up to a high speed network and can no longer get Firefox to work as my browser. What do I need to do?

I changed from a dial up to a high speed network and can no longer get Firefox to work as my browser. What can I do.
I did try to download Firefox again, but still will not work.

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Address Book NOT accepting csv.txt file as import from EARTHLINK web mail

Greetings. Unsuccessful thus far in importing e-addresses from Earthlink Web Mail to MAC Address Book. Found preferences and saved Earthlink addresses as csv.txt file but AB rejected as not true csv. Apple suggested conversion to V cards but could not find that option in Earthlink-ville. Perused Allan's post on synching with Total Access but fear accidentally installing stuff on my MACbook Pro from that application that is unneccessary or will screw up my new MAC world. Although in the long run, having Web mail back up my MAC makes sense. (Work and husband remain PC/ XP.)
Any solutions you can offer will be much appreciated.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks again. Okay, I pasted a portion of the csv file . I might be mistaken here, but I don't think these are V card format and perhaps converting them to V cards is what I'd have to do. But I would need pretty explicit directions.
Regards,
Andrea

How do I move my contacts and folders from Earthlink Webmail to Thunderbird

Just installed Thunderbird and I want to import all my contact addresses and saved folders from Earthlink Webmail to Thunderbird Mail.

Install thunderbird.
Create a mail account.
'''If POP mail account:'''
Tools > Import
select 'Mail'
click on Next
Pop mail accounts can only see the server Inbox. It downloads all previously not downloaded mail to the mail account Inbox.
Pop mail accounts cannot see any other fodler on the server. This is not a Thunderbird quirk, this is how all pop mail accounts work no matter what the email client.
To get emails downloaded from other folders on the server.
* Logon to webmail account.
* Move emails into Inbox.
* In Thunderbird click on GetMail.
* when emails are successfully doownloaded move them into suitable folders.
'''If IMAP mail account,'''
you need to subscribe to see folders.
then synchronize folders to keep local copies if desired.
more info on IMAP:
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization#thunderbird:win7:tb24
'''Contacts/Address Books:'''
In webmail, export the address book/contacts in a comma separated .csv file and save to your desktop.
In Thunderbird
open 'Address Book'
* Tools > import
* select 'Address books'
* click on Next
* select 'Text file (LDIF, .tab. .csv, .txt)
* click on Next
* locate the .csv file you download
* click on Open
* map fields to match Thunderbird fields

Problems with Apple Mail retrieval from EarthLink

I just bought a new computer (MacBook Pro 10.8.2 Mountain Lion) and when trying to set up Apple Mail v.6.2 I have a problem. It won't connect properly with my ISP email (EarthLink). I am unable to retrieve any POP mail on Apple Mail. It keeps saying "Logging in to the Earthlink POP server "pop.earthlink.net" failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct....." However, I am able to send mail via Apple Mail because the outgoing mail server (smtpauth.earthlink.net) does work. It's strange because it's the same user and password. So I can send but not retrieve using Apple Mail.
I also have Thunderbird, which I don't really like, and its POP setup both sends and retrieves from EarthLink without a problem. Plus I can always go to the EarthLink website if necessary. So this is not critical, but I prefer Apple Mail.
Any ideas?
(I'm also going to contact EarthLink to see if they can help.)

I'm having this difficulty with my shared host provider as well. hostpapa.ca keeps telling me to 'check my account settings.' This is not difficult to do and the error code I keep getting tells me that there's a problem connecting to the mail server.
While I argue with them, is it possible that there is a problem from within Apple Mail or with my wifi? Mail works well when I'm not on my home network - at the office, on 3G, if I use webmail, if I connect directly to my DSL modem. I tried to delete the account and add it in again - but it just won't connect when on wifi.
I'm wondering if there's anyone who has an answer to this...?

I'm trying to watch a movie from my iPad on my tv with Hdmi cable. Do I need to do anything to the tv to make this work?

Not really. Using the correct Digital Av adapter and connecting the iPad to the Tv through one of its HDMI ports is all it takes. Of course making sure the correct input is selected in the Video source selection on the TV.

Simon,
you can use the duration function:

you can further, format the cell as a duration like this using the cell inspector:

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Cox Priemer speed

Hello, I just recently upgraded to cox priemer speed. They say that instead of 7mb I'm now getting 20mb. But when I do a speed check online it says I'm still getting 7mbs.
Do I need a new router? I'm using the wireless G cable gateway router and have the latest version of firmware. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Connect your modem directly to your computer and do a speed check online and check the speed...I am sure it will say 7Mbps...

Unity Connection 8.6 not able to forward from extension (dial out)

Dear all,
I'm having a problem at a customer where i'm not able to forward calls externally from the Unity (that's a wish too).
Basically here is the request for which I'm having an issue:
- I'm making a menu with a number XXX (CTI Port) with a System Call Handler
- Under that menu i've 3 choices which points to 3 internal numbers (YY1, YY2, YY3) (CTI Ports).
- All the CTI Ports are forwarded to international numbers which are the final destination
So the flow is the following:
NOT Working
- XXX --> Choice 1 --> YY1 --> Forwaded all to 000countrycode
Working
- XXX --> Choice 1 --> YY1 --> Forwarded all to 444 (internal number)
The strange thing is that I tested everything when I was on site by calling internally XXX from an internal number and it was able to forward all my call to the international number ...
If anyone have a clue about what I can do, I'll appreciate a lot ...
Thanks in advance
C.

Hi Taranjit,
The rules are not made to enable unity to dial out, my goal was to permit only internal calls, but in this specific case, the internal number, is a CTI Port forwarded all to the external international number...
I tried the Unity connection system handler from a internal phone and it was working perfectly, but not if the call is coming from outside apparently.
Kind regards
Christophe

Can I convert an old IMAC computer with OS 9 operating system from being "dial up" to high speed?

Can anyone tell me how I can convert my old IMAC from "dial up" to go on the internet as high speed? I have an ISP provider for a more modern computer that I own, but I really would like to use my old IMAC on the internet as well? How can I make it compatible with high speed internet? If I try to go on line, the internal modem "dials up". How can I change that and cause it to communicate with my external high speed modem?

Any iMac can connect by ethernet to the router.
You'll need to disable the modem and set up the network config.
Too long since I used OS9 to guide you on that bit; ask in the correct forum;

How to stop snow airport from Auto dialing

I have a snow airport that ran perfect for over two years and since I did the last software update it now automatically dials for internet connection when I wake it up from sleep. How do I fix this? Thanks.

I have had loads of problems after updating to firmware 5.6 - unable to connect to the DSL modem on the WAN, and unable to connect to the Mac OS9 machines on the network ("Connection Failed This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it.").
I eventually reverted back to firmware 5.5.1 and everything immediately worked again.
You can get a 5.5.1 updater from <apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremefirmware551formacosx.html>.

Sharing Phone - Protecting Contacts From Accidental Dialing

I have a smartphone that also syncs up real-time to my work email and contacts via touchdown.
I also let my kids/spouse use the phone from time to time. how do I ensure that they can use the phone and dial someone, without accidentally calling one of my business contacts?
Right now, my contacts are easily available on the phone application and my child/spouse could easily dial one of them up by accident which could lead to embarrasing situations.
thanks

It will be happened, only if you tap a name with single phone number, so you need no select which number of him/her you want to call. Some may prefer there should be a prompt before calling like it's seems you want to say, but others will consider a needless prompt there will slow down calling procedure.
