Aleks 'higher ed' -- precalcus -- won't run on Firefox for windows; I want to use Firefox, not Chrome or Explorer per the ALEKS recomendation; what should I do

I tried to join ALECKS. I received a Java warning that Google has not fixed a problem that makes Firefox running on Windows unstable when using a Java version = or > 7.0. I don't want to follow the Alex recommendation to use Chrome or Explorer; using the ALECKS path to install a 6.x version of Java didn't work for me. I want to use Firefox as my only browser. If that is not possible re: ALECKS, I will use the Khan Academy in lieu of ALECKS.

I have just brought a new ipod and it won't work with my old imac as it is running pre 10.5 software. I can't upgrade the software, so what should I do?

There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.
Mac OS 10.5.8 or later is required.

I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page. At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often. This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector. Computer monitor first, TV second. But the thing is only 27 in. Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

Yes, it will do a full backup.
and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?
Only if you want to be able to go back in time to those previous Time Machine backups. When you plug in the new larger external drive, you will only be able to go back as far as the first day you plugged it in and ran the first Time Machine backup on it.

Can I run Quickbooks Contractor for Windows on my Macbook Pro with Bootcamp ?

Can I easily run Quickbooks Contractor for Windows in my Macbook Pro and exchange QB data files with my accountant ?

You can run any Windows program once you install Windows on your computer using either Boot Camp assistant or a VM like Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox.

I was running Foxfire 3.6.9 and wanted to use FTP Program add-on and it did not appear to load but appeared but then would be installed but not run or appear under tools. So I deleted Foxfire 3.6.9 and down loaded to 3.5.9 so it could get FTP and it is doing the same could not install. Even after I registered my copy. The last time I used this program it showed up under tools and worked great. any suggestions on whats going on and how I can get around this?.by ralphd3g

Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks?

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks? I have finally given up on Dragon Dictate for Mac, which alas, after years of buying every new updated version, is still exceedingly buggy and does not begin to compare in quality to the PC version. I love my Mac, and don't like my PC at all, but the third-party voice dictation software for Mac is so pathetic, that I have wound up dictating on my PC, and then sending it to my Mac: an truly annoying and Baroque process. I was able to train over 120 words in Sanskrit word perfect on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but on Dragon Dictate for Mac, I can't even get it to train my name. I know this is not an Apple problem, but I'm trying to find a way around by possibly running the DNS version on Windows on my iMac.
I have a hand disability, so I really do need to use voice dictation, both for dictating and navigating on my computer.
If anyone is doing this, are you using Boot Camp, VM fusion, or Parallels? How well does it work? Has anyone discovered anything else I ought to be considering, before giving this a try? I had tried running this on an old on 2008 iMac (with much less power), using Parallels, but it was incredibly slow. Now that I have a much more powerful iMac, I'm wondering whether it would be worth another try. As it will be quite an investment to purchase all this third-party software to get Dragon up and running, I was hoping to get a sense of how well it works, before plunking down the cash. I would be extremely grateful for helpful feedback.
IMac, Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, 3.5 GHz Intel core i 7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DD3, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12, Dragon Dictate 4.0.2

You cannot run a Windows application on a Mac unless you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

I can't run iPod utility for Windows in my Windows 8 . does this apps support windows 8 ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iPod Utility for Windows hasn't been updated for a long time, so it's probably not supported in Windows 8. Have you tried to run it in compatibility mode?

Your problem is really with "Time Machine", backup software included with OS X since version 10.5, not with your Time Capsule router. For more information on Time Machine, check these Web pages:

My Mac book pro won't turn on at all and when i put it to charge the light blinks, what should I do?

Yes if your model MBP has a removable battery. If it does not:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

USB 2.0 high speed card won't run Canon MP800 printer

I have a Power Mac G4 AGP graphics. I installed OS X 10.4.4 on it. I purchased a new Canon PIXMA MP800 multi-function- printer. It needed a USB 2.0 high-speed connection. I purchased an Allegro USB 2.0 high-speed adapter card and installed it in my empty PCI slot. Here's my problem: When I connected the Canon printer, it would not print or scan.....it just went through the motion of sending, but not completing the task. I called Canon to trouble shoot the problem. I connected the Canon printer to my native USB 1.1 port and it worked fine. I then, removed my PCI card and reinstalled it, to be sure that it was seated correctly in. The Canon still would not work. So I plugged my old HP 1200C printer(USB 1.1) into the USB 2.0 port and my printer did work, but at the USB 1.1 speed. I contacted Sonnet Technology on the Allegro USB 2.0 PCI card and they said to try a utility called Cocktail or Tiger Cleaner to try and fix the problem. I downloaded Coctail and ran it to see if this would work. It didn't fix my problem. Any suggestions?

what type of USB 2.0 PCI card did you put in? have a look at the card and find out what chip is on it and let me know. I put one in mine that has the VIA VT6212L chip in it and it doesn't work either, despite OS X having native drivers for USB 2.0 cards.
The USB ports on my card didn't work at all until I installed a driver that I got from VIA. Even then though only 1.1 devices work while the 2.0 devices are not even recognised.
From what I hear, adaptec brand USB 2.0 PCI cards are what you want to get in future, plug them in and off they go (wish I'd done my homework). No messing around with drivers that support only half your new hardwares features.......of course its the other half that you actually need.
I've spent hours reading through all sorts of info and scanning forums everywhere to try to find a fix, I understand why you're a little woozie. A possible fix that people seem to keep suggesting is to zap your PRAM (restart holding command-option-P-R keys, don't release the keys until after the 3rd chime), didn't help me and I doubt it'll help you but at least when people tell you to try it you can say you've done it.
here's my post to my problem:

Youtube won't run with firefox or Facebook

When wanting to run video from youtube on both firefox and facebook from my Android phone I get a message telling me I need an account with youtube and a channel. I have an account with youtube and it won't let me sign in when attempting to.
Have tried using Google browser on phone and am able to run youtube content and video with no problem.
Any ideas???

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

Existing piece won't run video files on windows 7 and vista

hi, folks - I need some help.
we have a series of older (2003) authorware pieces that use .mpg and .mov files. We run the lessons (exams, actually) at 10 or so sites across the country, twice a year. They've been running fine for 7 years with occasional updates and tinkering. At the sitting last week we had problems with a lab that just converted to Windows 7 and another laptop that runs Vista Business. In both cases the authorware file loads and runs until a screen that tries to load a video file. The placeholder shows up (a square with an x across it indicating its size), but the piece freezes and nothing runs. The piece runs fine on all the other sites and on a variety of pc's at our location.
In both cases, we are able to load and run the video files directly from the hard drive through Media Players, but they will not load in authorware.
I've tried recompressing the files into .wmv, mp4, mov, and avi. Still won't run. Tried recompressing on a different machine and still no joy.
would really appreciate any ideas or help on this.
thanks,
Ron

thanks, Steve and Eric. Replaced it and it's running fine - appreciate the response and advice.
Regards,
Ron

Flash Player Update won't run properly on my Windows Vista / IE 9

I am having problems with updating the Adobe Flash Player. The player is installed and recognizes that an update is available. I select to download and install the update and an internet explorer window opens and I am given the opportunity to click the "Download Now" button. However once i do the screen changes for a while to a progress bar titled "Step 1 of 3" and "Initializing" which then changes to "Step 2 of 3" that shows "If you encounter any issues downloading Adobe Flash Player, Click here." but never does anything else. When I take advantage of the 'click here' option or the "Need Help?" prompt in the upper right corner I get another screen overlay showing the following. The problem is I am not getting any of the prompts shown below. It is as if the download never started. And no the prompts shown below are not really apearing and just hiding behind another open window on my screen. It seems to me that the update and download functions are broken. The same thing happens if i go directly to the ADOBE site and try to initiate the install or updates directly from there. Can someone help with this?
1.
When File Download dialog box appears, click Run. Security scan will run automatically.
2.
When User Account Control dialog box appears, click Yes.
Note : If you are still unable to download Adobe Flash Player, click the Back button on your browser. Then click Install/Download now and select the option to Save and Run.

Hi jwklingon,
Thanks for confirming the behaviour, much appreciated. The online installer that you were using (aih in the file name) downloads the Flash Player installer silently in the background and installs it silently. It appears that, for some reason, the download was not occurring. The link Andy provided has the offline installers, which are the full installers and don't download anything in the background. Those should work on your system. If it doesn't, please provide a screenshot of the error the displays, if any.
Thank you.

Web-based apps that require Silverlight won't run in Firefox even though the latest version of Silverlight is installed.

I am running Windows 7 SP1, Firefox 11, and have MS Silverlight v5.0.61118.0 installed along with the Silverlight Plug-In 5.0.61118.0 enabled.
The problem is I cannot get certain apps to run in Firefox that require MS Silverlight. I keep getting the prompt to install. If I click to install, I'm told the the version of Microsoft Silverlight I'm attempting to install is already installed.
What more can I do?

Hi Jojo,
Similar issue here. I had iPlayer but it 'died' now I can't install it...or any other app such as Adobe Air. I have an outstanding question trying to resolve it as well.
