After installing a new computer, we added firefox and I was wondering if there is a way to restore my gadgets that I had before in a simple way.

I had gadgets like local weather, moon phases and Chicago Tribune.
Do I have to search for them again or can I get them back easily on the home page?

The only OSX update that you have available is Snow Leopard (10.6) which you can purchase from the Apple online store and it comes on a disk. In order to install subsequent OSX's such as Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks (which can be downloaded and do not require a disk) it requires that the MBP have 10.6.8 installed.
That of course assumes that your unidentified MBP qualifies for those operating systems.
In short, to proceed any further, you will have to accommodate Snow leopard.
Ciao.

Also, I am wondering if you have any tips to speed up streaming speeds on videos without installing an update. I can no longer watch Netflix or Hulu due to how slow my computer streams videos now. Besides updating my Mac, is there any way to solve this? What may be causing this issue?
In regard to the above, please read this article:

I recently bought a macbook pro and i made a new apple id. my last macbook had a different id as well and i was wondering if there's a way of transferring all my music from the other laptop to the new one without having to use my old apple id?

i recently bought a macbook pro and i made a new apple id. my last macbook had a different id as well and i was wondering if there's a way of transferring all my music from the other laptop to the new one without having to use my old apple id? if it makes any type of difference i have an iphone 5 so i tried transfering the music but it only transfered certain things and not my entire album.

Making a new Apple ID was the worst thing you could of done. This is very bad to do. Not sure why people do that. Your Apple ID is Your Apple ID. You only need one and it is best to only have one Apple ID for all apple devices.
Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

I have purchased a new iPad2 and I was wondering if there is a way to get iPod content onto this new device. I am having difficulty finding any information on this kind of transfer and I am not sure if it is even possible. Thanks

I have purchased a new iPad2 and I was wondering if there is a way to get iPod content onto this new device. I am having difficulty finding any information on this kind of transfer and I am not sure if it is even possible. Just not looking forward to loosing my progress in games and information in notes and other apps. Thanks

Have you been syncing the iPod with iTunes? Then you just connect the iPad and set it up through iTunes and sync any content you want onto it.

In terms of games/apps. If they are not universal (you will see a + symbol next to them) or made for iPad (you would see an HD in the name, usually) then they won't look good on an iPad as those apps will open in a iPod sized window, giving you the option to enlarge.

I have two macs in my house. One is newer and came with the os x mountain lion software and the other one needs to be upgraded. I was wondering if there is a way to take upgrade from one to the other? Should not have to buy this software again.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Buy it for the other computer. Mountain Lion is preinstalled on the new Mac, but you can only use it in the new one

as62467 We appreciate your G3 question! Let's see how we can help. What you are able to adjust is the USB connection mode by going to the home screen and selecting'recent apps' (in the touch keys bar), settings,storage, the menu (the 3 tiny dots) and tap usb pc connection. If you do not want the software to try and install choose either the internet connection or camera option. Let us know if this helps.

Last night i forgot my ipod passcode, and i was wondering if there were anyways to reset the passcode without restarting my ipod because nothing is saved on my computer

Last night i forgot my passcode for my ipod and i dont want to restart my ipod because nothing is saved onto my computer. I was wondering if there were any other ways to get my ipod unlocked?

Nope.
You will have to restore your ipod or put it into recovery mode. Either way you will lose everything that you have failed to store on your computer.

After installing lion, my computer is running slower and having delays connecting to network

please help me resolve my problem. after installing lion my system was running great for about a week. suddenly it is having trouble connecting to the internet, running slow and the history pages are appearing without asking for them.. unable to get my homepage when opening up, just get a white screen. if i go to the history, i can get the homepage. Only able to access my homepage by waiting for ever or getting it from the history.
please help

Peter, thank you for responding. No, I am not referring to the initial start up. I downloaded Yosemite over a week ago and feel it is running very slow when switching websites. Also, I have experienced numerous hangups causing me to force quite much more than before.
I just cleared my Safari history (I am guessing that is what you meant by "clean the old internet-caches" and restarted Safari. I will see how it goes.
I uses a file called "Desktop" from my IPhoto library for my desktop pictures. It contains about 20 pictures. I configured it that way in Preferences, but it seems whenever I shut down and restart my computer it reverts to the generic picture of Yosemite. As for the question mark and "Update Needed" showing on my startup log in screen, I think I fixed that by changing my password in Preferences.
No that I have cleared the Safari history, I will see how things go.

CS6 Error 16 Code after installing on new computer.

I just purchased a new Mac Pro Desktop. My old machine used Snow Lepoard and this is Mountain Lion. After migrating data from my ole machine to this one, I am unable to open any program in CS6. When I attempt to, I receive a Error 16 advising me to uninstall and reinstall the software. This would result in a couple of years of up-dates, etc. How can I correct this problem?

please review your installation logs for specific error messages which may have occured during the install process. You can find details on how to review the install logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5 -cs5.html.

Acrobat X Pro won't open at all after installing on new computer. Please help! It is from the CS6 Suite

Hi, Can anyone help me? I had to change my computer, so I re-installed my whole CS6 Suite. Everything works except my Acrobat X Pro... It won't even open!! I am using a Windows 7 PC ... I even had Dell try and help me... the only thing they where able to do was help me be able to see .pdf docs in Reader! But I can't open a document, or create one, block sensitive info, nothing!

Hi Lisley56, I found the solution there is a Plug in for Acrobat X Pro that came with Adobe Suite CS6... I downloaded it and that did it!!! It's called "Acrofix". Try looking it up in the Adobe website!!! I hope it works!!

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to block someone from emailing me or simply just delete my icloud email account (me) so this person can not email me or facetime me. it is a brand new account and I would like to start all over.

Thanks so much!!!

If it's a brand new account, then there should be no harm in deleting it assuming you don't have any important data saved. On the iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
You can then create a new ID at http://appleid.apple.com, then sign in to iCloud after the ID has been created.

I am finding whenever I put in a list of cookies to block, this list is gone once I close than re-open Firefox. I am wondering if there is a way to keep the cookies from disappearing?

I am currently running Firefox 3.6.8 and using the privacy settings "accept cookies from sites and clear history when Firefox closes", in previous versions of Firefox I found I was always able to retain my list of cookie exceptions. Any feedback would be awesome, thankx!

* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing the "Site Preferences" will clear all exceptions including exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software (add-on) installation and password exceptions.

Hi everyone, I've got a question. I've noticed that Itunes says me exactly the number of times that I've listened a song since I've put it on the library. Well, I've just put on some new music and I was wondering if there is a way to reproduce only the songs that Itunes nerver played without creating a new playlist.
Thank you

Almost. Anti-virus software is completely superfluous for Mac.
I have tested most of the commonly available Mac "anti-virus" products under controlled conditions. The only differences between them are their varying degree of worthlessness. Some are malicious and will corrupt your Mac. The vast majority of Mac problems reported on this site are the direct result of using such products.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

After installing a new version of Firefox, I get the error message "The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll" when I try to start firefox. Elsewhere in the forum a complete reinstall is suggested; however, I can't do that because of my company's IT policies. Is there any way to solve this problem WITHOUT a complete reinstall? Thank you!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

If you can't reinstall Firefox yourself then you need to contact your IT department and ask them to check the Firefox installation.
It is possible that some files got broken with the latest update.

I just installed a new computer and want MSN as my homepage and Firefox as my browser. How do I get MSN to open when I use Firefox browser?

My computer tech set up Firefox as my browser when he installed my new computer. I went to MSN.com and set it up as my home page but I need to know how to get it to open to MSN when I use the Firefox browser.

Inside Firefox, go to the msn website. Then, Click on the Orange Firefox button, then Options, and under Home page, click "Use Current".
Also, make sure you update to Firefox 12 (Click the orange Firefox button, then the arror next to help, then About Firefox. Let the update download, then click apply update)

After installing a new computer, we added firefox and I was wondering if there is a way to restore my gadgets that I had before in a simple way.
