An OS before 10.10 provided shortcut f10 to "show all open windows". How do we do that with 10.10?
It Has been very convenient at times to review all open windows, especially when working on multiple projects that clutter the desktop. Without the f10 shortcut, I can't easily find my way through the mishmash piled high on my desktop. How do we "show all open windows" with Yosemite??
I'm guessing you are referring to "Mission Control" - the keyboard shortcut for this is set in "System Preferences" then "Mission Control" and I think the default when the system is first setup is F3, not F10. So check out "System Preferences" and see what it currently is and if you want to change it to the F10 go ahead and change it there, along with any of the other shortcuts you might have had before with the previous OS X version.
Good luck...

I have an 8 year old eMac G3. It will not start up. I need to erase it before putting it in recycling. Apple refuses to open the case and warns me that I will be shocked if I even try. They say no way to erase hard drive. They say use a hammer. Any ideas?
Hi, no eMacs had G3s, only G4s. Is it maybe an iMac G3?

Close all open windows on desktop -- shortcut
Is there a shortcut to close all the windows on the desktop? Up to now I'm having to close each one individually. I'm talking about all types of windows (Safari, Address Book, plus other apps). Any suggestions?
I got the answer I wanted by searching the knowledge base for Tiger. Here is what I found:
My favorite for closing all windows, and not listed much:
option-command and just click on the desktop.
Much more natural then trying to get the W at the same time.

Before I updated to ios5 there was a number lit up on the task bar (next to bookmarks) which were all the windows I like to keep open. Now, after updating I can't find that feature in settings. I don't like all the different tabs along the top. Can anyone help me please?? I just want to click on the number and have all of my open windows there!
I don't think that is an option. iOS 5 new features is tabbed browsing, it replaced the old window interface.

In Tools, Options, there is a checkbox that states "ask me before clearing cache". It was checked by Firefox not me. I do not want to be asked. How do I get that box unchecked?
You are using a very old version of Firefox that is no longer supported.
You should upgrade to the latest Firefox 3.6 version from [http://www.mozilla.com]. Let me know if this fixes the issue. -
Why, suddenly, does Firefox decline to save all open windows before quitting?
One of the best aspects of Firefox is that you can close your browser and Firefox will--or used to--remember all open tabs. Now my only option is open, or close and lose all tabs. Why?
I agree with mrpoizun. I liked everything about Firefox before 4.
This automatic saving of sessions has one big flaw! When opening FF, it shows a blank screen (simply because my innitial preference is to start on blank). If I should change my mind or accidentaly close this, the blank is saved, or rather the previous session is deleted. The Restore option is disabled.
I request that "Save & Quit" be restored!
Hm. Wonder if there is anything in my browsing habbits that requires FF4? If not, then I'll just try to find an earlier installation file. -
How do I erasethe content and all personal information on oldlaptops which I want to recycle?
>then reinstalled the system, thereby erasing all previous data.
Just reinstalling a system does not automatically mean that all files on a hard disk have been deleted. You would have to choose an appropriate erase option (once again, the exact procedure depends upon the system version). The following article provides 'zero all data' information for some early Mac OS X versions (and Mac OS 9).

When I launch I photo it wants me to choose a library but it doesn't find one which is impossible, because i still have no storage. before i can clean up i want to back up them. how can i find my library?
You may very well have damaged your library - or even your system by not having adaquate storage available
And never select all of the pitcture and move them - that will destroy your library - the iPhotolibrary is a SQLite database and must always be kept intact as a single entity -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time. -
When Firefox gets hung up, I do a force quit. Then when I restart my Mac, it tries to restore all the sessions I had open before the crash. It doesn't crash often but every time it crashes, it does the automatic session restoration. The crash happens when I haven't shut down my computer for a day or two; it's like Firefox just gets tired and needs to be refreshed. It doesn't seem to matter what windows I had open. I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.
We close all applications before we power down the system. There is nothing open before we turn it off yet the same boxes open when we turn it back on.

Before I upgraded to 8.0 I could double click and see all open Apps and then close them. Now when I double click I am not sure what I am seeing or what to do?
The format keeps changing but the basics remain...in the center of the screen are large images of the recent apps which you can close by swiping up and away.

I have an Airport Extreme as my router and am using time capsule to extend the network in my new house. My ISP is only providing me 4-5 ip addresses and wants me to set up my router to issue out new ip addresses for all my devices.How do I fix this?Help.
They said I need to change my settings to NAT settings. I haven't been able to figure out or find anything. I have also spoken to Apple Support on the phone for hours without being able to figure out how to do this ( i don't think he knew much either lol.) Please help me because I've got about 15-20 devices in my house that require to be connected to the internet and this is just making things ridiculously slow and painful for me.
Thanks!It is on DHCP & NAT under router mode yet my isp is still the one issuing ip addresses to my devices instead of the router issuing them

I have moved from the US to Norway, and want to change my apple ID to the Norwegian appstore. However, I am not allowed ot change from the US store before I use up my balance, which is 0.17 dollar. The problem is that nothing costs 0.17 dollar and I do no longer have an american visa card, only Norwegian. Is there any way I can erase the credit on my account so I can change the appstore country? Or osmething I can use this credit on? Thank you very much
Try contacting the store support staff at: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html they are usually pretty good at sorting out these issues.
