I have recently upgraded to Lion on y iMac. I find that the OS is running much slower that the previous version snow lepard. I found in my applications some files which are rated Power PC which I want to get rid off, but they just won't go away.

Any suggestions on getting the machine run faster ??

Upgrade the RAM. It's cheap, and easy to do yourself.

If you used the Apple ID to buy content, you will need to maintain the ID to update or redownload the content. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another, nor does Apple merge Apple IDs.

I just upgraded to FF 4.0, and am overall unhappy with the app. It runs much slower than my previous version, and continually hangs...even on the Mozilla websites. I'm going to try and go back to my older version, which I loved.

As noted in my question, FF4.0 continually hangs (Not responding) even on your website.

I recently upgraded to Lion on an iMac and I am trying to run Garageband but get message telling me that the instrument library is invalid and I should choose a valid Instrument Folder or re-install Garageband. Where do I find such a folder?

Thanks very much. Yes, I am using the installer files and serial number from the URL you referenced above. I have spent many hours trying to get it to work. I would love some help!!
The problem is that the instructions that come in the pdf with the downloaded files do not work, because the files that download from that page do not have the names referred to in the pdf, and most of the things that are referred to in the instructions do not happen. Here is what actually happened.
When I downloaded the files from the website, these are the files that downloaded:
I double-clicked each one and they extracted into two different folders.
Then I read a message on the forum that said to move all the extractred files into the same folder, so I moved all files into one file at C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 as was pictured in the forum message. Here are screen shots showing all of the files in that folder I have now:
So then I double clicked the "Setup" file and I got this error message:
So then I tried to install the programs separately from the installer inside the folders Photoshop and Illustrator. I got this far and entered the serial number from the website:
But then I got this error message, even though I was using the files and serial number exactly from the website:
I tried both photoshop and illustrator and the same thing happened.
(I also looked at Solution 2 that you mentioned above but I don't have anything called VCOM on the computer. Also the error message that I got is not that one.)
I think I really need a set of instructions that lists the steps in order to do, but based on the files that actually download from the website and what happens when you extract the files. I feel as if I have all of the proper files but it still doesn't work.
Thank you very much!

I usually keep my old versions until I'm certain I no longer need them.

There's no need to go to the store if you don't want to. You can purchase and download the new version from the Parallels web site. In fact if you want to try it out, I believe you can do the download and get a two week trial version. Later you can purchase the serial number to make it official.
I cannot be certain about your data, but I did not lose anything when I updated to Lion and faced a similar situation.
Best of luck.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and I now cannot find under the file menu the option to "Save As" in my Numbers application. Where did it go?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and I now cannot find under the file menu the option to "Save As" in my Numbers application. Where did it go?

In many, many apps Apple has now created a confusing array of "save as..", "export", and "duplicate" all doing essentially the same thing - saving a new copy elsewhere possibly with format changes. Drives me nuts.
But its always there.

Hi there HotFerrari,
It sounds like you are unable to restore your device from a backup you have in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

Cannot save open tabs when closing, instructions on "help", don't; FF4 has crashed/locked several times also. Frequently have to hit link button (or back button) twice for it to work. Had MUCH better performance from previous version (Windows 7 user)

previous version asked if I wanted to save tabs when closing, not version 4. "Help" suggested checking setting but does NOT indicate what to check! (I cannot find any options/settings related to saving tabs upon closing). Second option was to rename two files, did so, did not allow saving tabs (just erased history). I liked saving tabs and am very frustrated by this.
FF has crashed a couple of times, locked a couple of times (most recently I could not even stop with windows task manager, had to reboot)
Frequently links (or "back" button) gives no response until pressed twice

forgot to add that pages are generally much SLOWER to load with version 4 than previous version. NOT progress!

I want to get rid off Bing and VGrabber extension on Mozilla Firefox. How can I do this?

I don't want Bing and VGrabber Extensions on Mozilla Firefox. How can I get rid off these extensions.

to uninstall vGrabber from firefox, go to FireFox browser menu Tools and select Add-ons and then click on Extensions. You will see it in the list with remove buttons. just click on it to remove and restart the browser.

I added an add-on somewhere that affected all areas of my computer. I want to get rid of it but cannot find it. Any suggestions?

The add-on made it possible for me to use a single click and have the same effect as a double click. I don't know where I got the add-on from, but I am 99.9% sure it was a Firefox add-on.

Try [http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html Revouninstaller ]. It will display all installed programs including hidden ones. The ones that won't show up in Add/Remove Program.
The link goes to the freeware version.
It's the only uninstaller I use. Been using it for years.
It won't operate on FF Extensions though. For that go into FF Extensions and search for "Add-ons Manager" It will list everything in FF.
Good luck

I have had LR since LR3. I bought the original program and have done updates ever since. Do I need to keep the previous versions of LR for my LR5 to work?

Hope I can get some insight!

Just to be a little more specific, you do not need to keep LR3 installed on your computer, but the terms of your license with Adobe require you to not transfer LR3 to another person if you have upgraded to LR5; if you think of it that way, you should "keep" LR3 in that sense. The license terms allow you to have Lightroom (any version numbers) installed on any two devices (which could mean a Mac computer and a Windows PC, or a laptop or desktop, or any combination along those lines). If someone else were to attempt to register the same LR3 key you're supposed to still have to run your LR5 upgrade, either you or the other person could get blocked in that attempt.
Before upgrading, it's always a good idea to download and try out LR5 to make sure it runs well on the computer you want to use it on--some devices that can run LR3 well can't run a later version well, and if that applies to your hardware, it's best to figure it out before you've paid for LR5.

I have recently upgraded to Lion. I cannot add to-dos. I do not appear to have a to-do icon.

I have recently upgraded to iPhone 5 from an iPhone 4. The 4 has been given to a family member and the contacts were deleted. Now they're missing on both phones. How do I get them back?

As the title says. I've lost all of my contacts, from both phones and icloud.

That's the way things are supposed to work...all devices using the same iCloud account are kept in sync. You delete on one device, & it deletes on all, including iCloud. Unless you have a backup that contains your contacts, or they are in a supported application on your computer, they are gone.
You should have deleted the iCloud account, on the iPhone 4, before giving the phone away.

HT4796 Are there other things that need to be done for the Mac and the PC to link up. Mine are on the same network. I have enabled sharing. The PC does see the Mac in its network but they just won't link up.

I am trying to migrate my iTunes information from my PC to my Mac. I have installed the migration software required on the PC. The problem is that the Mac and the PC never link up even though from the PC I can see and access the Mac in it's network neighborhood.
