Any way to use an App Tab with exe File (such as Thunderbird.exe)?

I'm trying to set up an App Tab in Firefox 4 Beta (9) to call up Thunderbird. But when I put the location of the exe file in the address window, Firefox sends me to the download manager, and won't open the file otherwise. I'm assuming you can't open an exe file in Firefox, but is there another way to get a tab that will open Thunderbird so I don 't have to do it separately? Thanks

Try the Get Mail extension: <br />

I love using firefox app tabs, but they always disappear when I restart firefox. Is there any way to get chosen app tabs to load when firefox restarts?

Firefox 5 has a great new feature called app tabs, but it looks like I'm stuck resetting them every time I quit firefox or restart my computer. It seems to me the whole point of "pinned" app tabs is that they're the sites you read most frequently, and therefore it would be useful if they loaded automatically when firefox was started. Is there a way to do this? Do I have firefox on the wrong settings? Or am I stuck re-creating my app tabs every time I restart my computer / firefox??

Thanks for the reply, it seems to have solved my issue.
My tabs are normal and unpinned, I just have Firefox set to open all my current tabs. Safe Mode didn't seem to have this issue, so I disabled Classic Theme Restorer. Several restarts didn't have problems, so I enabled it again and now this isn't happening anymore. Hopefully it stays gone for good and didn't just stop momentarily.
Edit. So as soon as I posted this, it started happening again. More testing definitely points to Classic Theme Restorer as the cause, so I'll have to investigate solutions on that end.

Is there ANY way to use another email address with iCloud?

Apple let you use any email address as an Apple ID, but I really want to be able to use a non-Apple email address with my iCloud mail. Just about every email service (Gmail, Hotmail, etc) allows you to send from a third-party address (once you've done a security verification) so that you don't have to change your email address when switching services. iCloud seems to have no such option. Is there any way round this, or any way to put pressure on Apple to add this basic feature???

Is there any way to use Adobe Extension Builder with After Effects?

I have been using Script UI and Javascript within the ExtendScript Toolkit to build panels for After Effects CC, but I like the way the Adobe Extension Builder works with Eclipse, and the power of including external libraries like JQuery. Is there any route to build extensions for After Effects with this or some similar solution?

Hi Hallgrimur,
I was checking the documentation for CC14 Extension SDK and found that the HTML5 extension development is available now for After Effects too. I could not find any update of Extension Builder though which would support the After Effects extension development. While searching I came across this thread, so was wondering if you might have any update on how to go about with the HTML5 extension development for After Effects. Thanks a lot in advance.

Any way to re-get apps purchased with iphone but NOT synched with computer?

My iPhone had been having issues synching so one of the Tech guys decided that the best way to solve it was by upgrading to OS4 and seeing if that fixed the problem. Unfortunately they didn't do a full backup (apparently it kept aborting part way thru) and I had apps that hadn't been synched to my iTunes account on the computer. Does anyone know of any way for me to get those apps back without buying them again? I was thinking that their might be a record of their purchase in my iTunes account since I had to have accessed it, even though it was thru the phone, to buy them in the first place, but I don't see it. I also don't know if I can just contact someone in tech support at apple about fixing it because I didn't see a logical way to contact them about the issue.

Well, you missed several chances, so now all that's left is to redownload them individually. At least you can do that without paying for them again. You can't do that with music.
You apparently didn't back up your iTunes library, in spite of regular reminders from iTunes when you make purchases. AND you don't have an external drive with Time Machine, which would have backed up your computer (including iTunes) automatically.
Before syncing you could have copied your apps from your iPhone to iTunes, as described in the manual, but apparently you didn't.
It's also not clear how iTunes "lost" your apps, unless you had a hard drive failure. This just doesn't happen, unless you have done something to your iTunes folders or had a hardware failure. I would suggest tracking down how iTunes lost your apps before you go any further; you may have a much bigger problem with your computer.

Is there any way to use iPhoto without it moving my files?

I tried to use iPhoto ONCE last yer when I bought my Mac Mini, and it moved all my photo files around as it pleased, is there any way to stop it fro moving my files? I like the folder/file structure I have given my pictures and I do not need to have that managed.
At the moment I am using Picasa but I would like to know if it is possible to use iPhoto without it deciding what to do with my files.
Thanks!

No
It is a SQL database and it must control its database - like any database program
as long as you think of managing files rather than managing photos it is not the program for you - once you think of managing your photos then having the poser of a database for that will be obvious - if that is not what you want then do not use it
BTW - iPhoto does not ever "move" your files - it makes a copy of each photo in its database and manages it there - your files are never touched

Virtual machine or something?
Why did these get dumped anyway?

someone found the appropriate passages in the EULA and/or SLAs - it showed server is ok, but client is not.
According to this, that's not the case:
One bit of under-the-radar good news in Lion is that Apple has changed the licensing terms of their End User License Agreement: they now permit you to run Mac OS X, either the regular or Server version, on up to two virtual machines, as long as they are running on Mac hardware. In Snow Leopard, only the Server version was permitted to be virtualized.
However, I don't know if that is correct because I can't find a link to an official Apple EULA. In the standard LA for Lion it says if you purchased your Lion OS from the App Store you are permitted
(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software.
As I read this, it means you could run two virtual copies of Lion on a system that runs Lion. Possibly it could mean you can run a virtual Lion on a native SL (if that were possible, I'm not sure it is). It doesn't, it seems to me, allow the possibility of running a virtual SL on Lion. That would depend on whether they've changed the EULA for Snow Leopard.
Since a lot of people are interested in this question, it seems to me that its the sort of topic people will be looking for on ASC, so it seems right that it should be discussed until someone can clarify once and for all the legal situation.

Is there any way to remove my hard drive with backup files in it from the exclude these items from backups???

I currently have a MacBook Air and a 1TB external hard drive, and I run my iPhoto Library from the EHD and as well have TM backup my computer to that same HD. The problem I have is that I don't have a backup of that HD which has all my photos and other media, so If the HD takes a crap I can be in big trouble.
So what I did is I purchased a new HD (My Cloud from WD) to back up my EHD. While setting everything up I ran into this
TM included the EHD in the "Exclude these items from backup" list and I can't touch them, and I tried everything. I later found this
The last sentence of #3 states why I can't.... Since the EHD has a backup file in it, it is excluded.
So..... Does anybody have any idea of a way around this? Would I have to restart everything and set it up different? Or just have a better and easier way of doing this?? I'll appreciate any help and suggestions.

What you need, is a dedicated image restauration filter that recognized the regular frequency pattern superimposed onto the prints. You can do this in advanced Image processing packages that let you compute the fourier transform of the image and then suppress or attanuate the frequency bands of the artefact with a band-stop filter.
But neither Aperture nor PhotoShop have this kind of filter. In Aperture and Photoshop you can only soften the effect by blurring and then exporting a smaller version of the image.
The algorithm that your scanner uses is probably the best that can be done, even if the resolution is only 100 dpi.
Do you still have the negatives? Scanning the negatives at a high resolution may give you better results.

Just upgraded to Mavericks and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks?

Just upgraded my 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz, core 2 duo $GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported. Printer says the software was improperly installed. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks or do I need to go back to Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard?

It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

Internet Explorer is not available for Mac.
But you can make Safari pretend to be Internet Explorer in some cases.
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop, move mouse down to "User Agent".
    Select Internet Explorer from popup on the rightside.
    After using Internet Explorer, revert back to Safari, doing the same routine.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.
