Help please help. My future father-in-law has internet explorer 5 for mac running on OS 9. He needs to lower the security settings, but he doesn't know how, nor do I. I tried to research and came up with the following:
Turning on "Cookies"
Internet Explorer 4 & 5
Click on the Edit menu, then click Preferences.
The "Internet Explorer Preferences" window opens. Under the heading "Receiving Files", click the option "Cookies".
Make sure that the option "When receiving cookies:" is set to "Never Ask".
Click OK to close and save changes to Internet Explorer Preferences.
Close and restart the browser and please try again!
Enable Java
Internet Explorer 4.5 or 5 for Macintosh OS 8-9
Select "Edit" from your menu bar and choose "Preferences..."
Then, click the "Java" bullet within the Web Browser section.
Make sure that the "Enable Java" box is checked.
Now.... i don't know if that's right or wrong.
help any body help please.
If running in Safe Mode prevents the popups, then restart Firefox again in Safe Mode and then from the menu choose "Disable All Add-ons". Then click the button called "Make Changes & Restart".
If the popups no longer appear, then one of your add-ons is causing the problem. The only way to find out which one it is, is to re-enable them one-by-one until the problem recurs. Then you know it was the previous one which is the culprit and can uninstall it.
You could also try creating a new profile. See [[Profiles]] and [[Managing Profiles]]
There's also an option called "Restore Firefox Defaults" in Safe Mode. This will delete all your add-ons and customizations and return Firefox to a virgin state so to speak. You can try that option if the none of the other options solves the problem.

Since the previous computer crashed without my Adobe CS3 Design Standard for Macintosh applications being uninstalled, I'm having issues with the CS3 on my new Macintosh laptop. Please help, I've tried using the online "contact us" with no success, unable to get in contact with a tech support agent that can assist me.
CS3 is too old to run on a new Macintosh laptop, sorry. You'll have to purchase CS6 or a Creative Cloud subscription.

There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.
Follow this article to connect in recovery mode:

Please help me. This is a terrible situation. Last night, I was making a movie with iMovie and trying to find a way to export it that would be compatible with the item on which I am going to be displaying it (an Epson MovieMate via a USB Thumb Drive). I was SO frustrated that none of the formats iMovie could export in were compatible with the MovieMate, and also frustrated that the software I found to convert it from one of the iMovie formats to a format usable on MovieMate wouldn't convert the entire movie for free in its trial version, only half the movie.
Desperate for a solution, I was going through all the different ways iMovie could export, and I found it odd, but I found this jpeg one. Knowing that jpeg is a format for still photo files, it did strike me as odd, but I thought I would give it a try and see what would happen. After all, my "movie" is just one still photo with music playing for a half-hour. It said it would take over 40 minutes to create the "movie," so I went to bed.
To my shock, when I got up this morning, my computer was freaking out. It said that it had no more memory left or something like that, and prompted me to quit a bunch of open programs that weren't responding. I tried to do this, but it just wasn't handling things. Eventually the clock stopped progressing but I could still hear the processor working, so I just hoped it would work through the issue then snap out of it sort of, but instead, I eventually stopped hearing the processor sounds, and the cursor was also frozen. At this point I could see the whole computer was frozen, so I held down the power button for a few seconds to force the computer to turn off.
When I restarted it, it was trying to re-start all the applications I'd had open previously. After several minutes of trying to get it to quit all these things, it finally did, but nothing was displaying on my desktop yet. Normally there would be a HD disk image and a few folders. I had seen in a Finder window that there were tons of jpeg files supposedly on the desktop (where I had designated the file to save to), but I couldn't see how many. It never occurred to me that this is how iMovie would render things when I told it to save the project in jpeg format. I expected one jpeg file, not some tremendous and unknown amount.There may be hundreds or thousands if it created a jpeg for each "frame." Even if it created one jpeg file per second, that would be 1,800, and I suspect there's more than that. There could be several per second. Five per second would be 9,000 jpeg files. I hate to think but there may be a whole lot more than that even.
Finder continued to "think." I was never able to access it to do anything with it. There was a "stuck" Finder window which was displaying the Desktop folder, which is how I saw that there are multiple jpegs there. After a few minutes, I re-launched the Finder and was able to command it to not try to open a Finder window upon re-launch. After it re-launched, I could hear the processor working for a few more minutes. I think it obviously was working to display all the files on the desktop. The clock froze again, and the cursor movement was jumpy. Shortly, the cursor would not move anymore, and I could not hear the processor sounds anymore. The computer was frozen again. I held down the power button again to force it to shut down. When I re-started it, I logged into the Admin account (which I am using right now), which is the only way I think I can use my computer right now. I was also hoping I could access the files from the Admin account and just get them to display in a window so that I could delete them. I just want to delete them at this point. I wish I had never done this! I wish iMovie didn't even have that option or that iMovie would have explained to me what was going to happen if I were to proceed! I don't use my Admin account very often and wasn't really sure what it would be capable of doing. I can open a Finder window and access my Time Capsule, which contains something that looks like my hard drive image but when I double click on it, I get an error that says The following disk images could not be opened Macintosh.sparsebundle: Resource temporarily unavailable.
Anyway, please help! What do I do to get my computer back to normal??? I just want all those jpegs deleted and want to be able to log in and boot up like normal! This is a terrible situation as I use my computer for work and everything. I was needing to print some things for a presentation tonight. Please help me! Thank you!
Melanie
P.S. I just now got a Time Capsule backup message that came up and said Time Capsule could not complete its backup because Time Machine is unavailable! I am concerned this jpeg situation has gotten completely out of control and has gone beyond affecting my computer to also affecting my Time Machine!
(Also, additionally, assuming I can get my regular user account to boot up again at some point, if anybody happens to know how to get an iMovie file to save as .mpe, .mpg, .mpeg, .dat, or .vob, that information would be greatly appreciated.)It worked! Thank you! I finally just finished about 20 minutes ago! It took over 26 hours to complete the process you described, but I stuck with it and it worked. I am glad I didn't give up or "forget it" as some might have suggested. That would have set me back until tomorrow!
Ultimately, it turned out there were 45,910 jpgs created. No wonder it took so many hours to render/display them all. It ended up being about 10 hours before it seemed they were all rendered but the process between them displaying and being able to start really deleting them took a few hours because partly I was asleep and also partly it took forever to do anything. Any action as simple as selecting and right-clicking to Get Info, or emptying the trash, would take 20-30 minutes, a couple times longer. The clock stopped many times for 20-30 minutes at a time, a few times over 30 minutes, before catching back up. My cursor never froze which is what really kept me going, although it was a spinning beach ball for most of the time. I was never so relieved to see my regular cursor as opposed to seeing a spinning beach ball as I was early this morning after about 10 hours!
Once I was able to open a Finder window and select all 45,900 files (I had already deleted 10 in the previous couple hours during experimenting of trying to figure out what would work best), then right-click and select to move all the files to the trash, the process of moving them to the trash took 4.5 hours. Then deleting them from the trash took a couple minutes. There were 21.4 GB!!! No wonder the whole process took 26 hours!
mende1, thank you so much! -

Please help - this computer already associated with an apple id
We have 5 family members all using the same mac, each with their own login and password. Each person also has a seperate apple id/ itunes account - and we want to download all the music onto the hard drive.
When I go to do that for one of my daughters - it worked. Now I am trying to do the second one - and it says that
this computer is already associated with an Apple ID
You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 83 days.
Any ideas...I am sure that this was developed for a good reason - but certainly not a family friendly policy where we are trying to upgrade and save everyone's stuff!
Any help or guidance is welcomed....I don't have a good suggestion, but I can offer some educational material:
This article discusses what assocating a device to your Apple ID means. It also talks about the differences between associating and authorizing. That difference is probably the key to your success.

HELP! Computer no longer sees base station
Hope that somebody can help - I recently changed the password settings on my airport extremem base station and all of a sudden my computer will not recognise that there is a base station in the vicinity - I am using air port admin assistamt. I have rescanned and rescanned to no avail.
Recently I did a hard reset of the base station and, although I can connect to the internet through the wireless connection (the generic apple base station name appears in my lists of networks available) but I cannot get into the admin assistant as the computer does not seem to recognise it. A mac that is runningh 10.3 recognised the base station and I could configure it with admin assistant but no joy with the main mac.
Any help would be great.
Many thanks!
BarnabyHi Barnaby,
You can reset the BaseStation's password again and start afresh (see the manual)
Can you ping the BaseStation from the Mac that refuses to see it (from the terminal)?

School starts in two weeks, so I can't see the technician, until then. What can I do I really need my computer. I've already tried command p r.
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.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and pasted above -
Help! Computer turns on but then will not boot up - Please Help!
I have no idea what happened to my Apple. Someone please help me. My powerbook currently is running on no battery (recall victim) and now the entire computer is no longer functioning at all. I installed iTunes 7.0 and then the trouble began. I had to restart the computer, so I did that and then the computer just wont boot up. It goes to the grey screen which shows the Apple symbol and occurs right before my log in then just continues to read. The green light for the battery is function and nothing at all is working. The computer simply will not boot up, I have tried unplugging it for the night and then rebooting it and nothing. Please someone help, what has went wrong?
You mentioned in your other thread that you had trouble with a cpu(0) hardware error trying to use the hardware test disk. Is this the hardware test disk which came with that particular machine? If not, then you need to find the original hardware test disk that came with that machine. If the restore disks that say 12" Powerbook include the words hardware test, use those instead and follow these directions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86287
If you are using the correct hardware test disk and you get a cpu(0) error using it, then the machine has a hardware problem. -
