Update from 4 to 5 results in bookmark scrolling jamming not matter how fast the mouse is configured in OSX 10.5.8 - very annoying!

Sorry cannot specify it in much further detail: Select "Bookmarks" in the topmost Firefox screen pick list; this now opens in mid screen, in contrast to the older version. OK, try scrolling down. If, like me, one has more than a screen's worth of bookmarks, you may need a quick mouse scuttle... at this point the latest Firefox Bookmark seizes the opportunity to 'grab' and 'stick with' the bookmark it's randomly landed on. This usually is not the one one ultimately wishes and necessitates re-opening the bookmark function and trying to skirt around outside the bookmark 'window.' The old version certainly did not do this. Please advise!

1. The only requirement Apple has made on http://www.apple.com/macosx/ for the $29 version of Leopard is that it is Leopard that you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard. 10.5.2 is a version of Leopard, therefore there should be no reason to upgrade to 10.5.8 first, unless you have some software that is currently only 10.5.8 compatible.
2. Combo update of 10.5.8 is essentially the only version that will take 10.5.2 to 10.5.8 without any intermediate updates applied in between. At least two backups* before installing 10.5.8 is a must too.
3. Wikipedia has a listing of known compatible applications with Snow Leopard. However, as Snow Leopard isn't going to be out till Friday, any last second changes may change this listing fairly soon. Since no one under non-disclosure can tell us whether or not there are changes such as these, we'll have to just wait and see. That's why I strongly recommend making at least two backups*, and not having any third party peripherals connected when the actual update is performed. Dismount any peripherals before restarting with the Snow Leopard installer. Or disconnect them after shutting down the machine and before running the Snow Leopard installer.

    First it would be helpful to get more info. Do you keep your music in the default location inside the iTunes folder? Do you use iTunes to keep it organized? Do you have any type of backup of either the iTunes Library files or your entire Music folder? Before reinstalling anything, check that your actual music files are still there. Go to your_homefolder/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music and I am pretty sure that all your files are still there. iTunes keeps its library file on the root level of the iTunes folder. It is either corrupted or you somehow created a new one which subsequently is empty. Hold down the option while you click on iTunes, then choose "existing library" and browse to your iTunes folder and select the iTunes Library file and see what happens. Report back if your iTunes Library file is corrupt.

  • I updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do i fix this?

    i updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do I fix this?

    kathieaross,
    click on the Java pane in System Preferences. When the Java Control Panel window opens, click on the Security tab, and set your Security Level to Medium — that will allow “untrusted” applications (i.e. those without certificates from a trusted authority) to run. Press the Apply button in the lower-right corner to confirm the change, then press the OK button to close the window.
    Apparently your Yahoo! card games don’t have certificates associated with them, which is why the default security setting of Java SE 7 Update 51 didn’t allow them to run.

    Co-el, This wasn't possible as there wasn't a navigation bar available. The F11 did the trick though. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

  • Updating from trial to Full version, can't get rid of Trial Overlay on the Video.

    Hey guys,
    I just bought the Premier Elements 11 full version and installed it. I had made a video on the trial, and was hoping that when I opened that in the full version, the overlay that says "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements" that hangs out there for the whole video would disappear. Is that not the case?? Is there anything I can do to the file what will get rid of that...or do I simply have to re-make my video??
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Thanks for the follow up information on what you observed trying to get rid of the Premiere Elements 10 tryout watermark in the project.prel from that 10 version in the purchased Premiere Elements 11. You say that the watermark was not removed automatically by the purchased Premiere Elements 11. I had never heard "automatic" to be the case until I tried this myself with Premiere Elements 11, not 10, tryout and then the purchased Premiere Elements 11. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the Premiere Elements 10 tryout to make a comparative test between
    Premiere Elements 10 tryout
    Premiere Elements 11 purchased
    vs
    Premiere Elements 11 tryout
    Premiere Elements 11 purchased
    But I have seen my observation verified independantly by at least one other.
    But there are a lots of things here that SG and Adobe need to help us clarify.
    a. Can you really remove the watermark from the Timeline once exported as a file (.mov, .avi, etc) from the tryout or is he and Adobe referring to removing the watermark on files still within the project.prel file.
    b. Classically SG has said to go Timeline Menu/Deleted All Rendered Files as the route in the project.prel of a purchased version to get rid of the watermarked video still within the project.prel from the tryout. The Rendered files are .avi files for SD project and .mpeg for HD project. It is my understanding that there is a fundamental difference between "Rendered Files" and "Conformed Video" files, the latter typically having the file extension of .mcdb. So, when SG says
    "You delete the Media Cache by going to the Preferences (under the Edit menu on a PC) and, on the Media page, clicking the Clean button.
    That should get rid of all of your render files -- and the watermarked video along with them."
    I would ask him to revisit that statement. If you are doing anything with that directive, you are deleting conformed video files that are found in Local Disk C\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Database Folder. That information is clearly available in the Media Cache Database dialog in that Common Folder. The "Rendered Files" are still alive and well with their companion .xmp files in the Adobe Folder (default Documents\Adobe\Premiere Elements). This is true for Premiere Elements 11 and 10 Windows 7 64 bit.
    I do not see where the question that started this thread has really been answered. And the latest SG comment forces to ask for a clarification on that.
    We will be watching for your results.

  • HT4623 Need to update from 4.3.3 to ios 5 or 6 but don't see the 'Software update' on my General settings please help

    I have tried everything I can think of to update my iPad folloowing online instructions but am stumped at the 1st hurdle with the settings - general - there is no Update software anywhere in the various lists.

    Assuming you have iOS 4.3 as your tagline suggests. You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
    You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.
    In the article you came from scroll down to the section titled: Update your device using iTunes

  • How to update from 3.1.3 to 4.3.3, but not to 4.3.5?

    Hi, I want to know how to update from 3.1.3 to 4.3.3, while the newest iOS version is 4.3.5
    I think Apple won't let me update to 4.3.3. Does anybody know how to do it?
    Your answer would be deeply appreciated. Thank you

    UPDATE TO IOS 4.3 MANUALLY(CANNOT UPDATE TO 4.3 BY APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE)
    FIRST= Download the iOS 4.3 IPSW file for your device FROM NET
    SECOND- Connect your device to the computer using the USB cable and wait for iTunes to detect it.
    THIRD- Once your device has been detected – follow the steps given below for different OS.
    For Windows – Hold the Shift key and then click on the "Check for Update/Update" button.
    For Mac OS X – Hold the Option key and then click on the "Check for Update/Update" button.
    4-
    In the next dialog browse to the file that you downloaded from Step 1 and select the IPSW file.
    5
    iTunes will now use the IPSW file and update your device to iOS 4.3. The process should take around 10-20 minutes.
    That’s it. Your device will be updated to iOS 4.3 with ease.

  • I´m a Registerd user of Lightroom since Version 1,can i update from Version 5.7 to Version 6 (Stand Alone,not CC)?

    Can i Update from Versión 5.7 to Versión 6.0 Stand Alone,NOT CC.?

    Your 2009 iMac’s fastest port is FW800 and an SSD will be somewhat faster than the internal drive but it won’t provide anything close to the full benefit of an internal SSD or the newer faster USB3 and Thunderbolt interfaces. For example FW800 provides roughly half the bandwidth of USB 3. Installing an SSD internally isn’t for the feint of heart and it requires a couple special tools including suction cups to remove the glass front. But if you have a local independent Apple reseller you can almost certainly get it done there.
    If you do decide to investigate this, I’d recommend going with a 128GB drive which would ensure you have plenty of room for the operating system and all your Applications and temporary files. Then use an external FW drive for user directories. You are likely to find the 64GB drive to be quite cramped.

  • Update from Lightroom 4.2 to 4.3 "Publishing" did not transfer

    After updating from Lightroom 4.2 to 4.3, none of the Publishing services such as Flickr were imported.  How do I import Publishing information from 4.2 to 4.3?  From a previous post, loading a current version of my catalog did fix other issues but did not fix this issue.

    Double check your File>Plug-in Manager and make sure the Publishing Service for Flickr is enabled.

  • In the topmost Firefox menu with File,Edit,View,History,Bookmarks, I can not get the list of bookmarks to display as they did before. The Bookmarks menu does not open up into the list of bookmarks.

    I am running Mac os 10.6.8 and Firefox 6.0.1 on a MacBook Pro and on a desktop Macintosh.
    The large computer displays a list of bookmarks when you click on the uppermost Bookmarks menu.
    The MacBook Pro displays the following when you click on the Bookmarks word in the top menu:
    "Show all Bookmarks, Bookmark this Page, Bookmark all Tabs and an icon with a blue dot next to Bookmarks Toolbar with an arrow to the right and below that it says Unsorted Bookmarks.
    There is no display of the list of bookmarks from which I can chose as I do on the larger desktop macintosh computer.
    How can I get the list of bookmarks to show as a list when I click the Bookmarks menu?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • When trying to open an external link like updating a program firefox says its already running but is not responding how do I fix this?

    Basically when I try to update Ccleaner or any other program tries to open a link it shows this error message. Like when I try to start BF3 from origin It shows the error message so I have to open battlelog by typing it into the browser. I dont recall me having this issue on my windows 7 64 bit laptop, but on my windows 7 32 bit desktop I have the problem. Any and all help is appreciated.

    Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
