Anyone know of any killer countdown web widgets?
New to iweb, just now figuring out the use of web widgets and they sure seem cool but a bit hard to navigate as to what is what out there.
I'd like to know if anyone an point me to their favorites, in particular I am looking for a countdown widget, where the days and weeks toward a special event are counted down.
Thanks!

Most of canned countdown javascript widgets are based on well know date, they are well and good... but they are not good unless your birthday is on New Year day, July 4 or Xmas
Unless you have some javascript knowledge, then you can do quite a few things:

All javascript is available on my site... once again, javascript knowledge is helpful.

I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. I know, I'm years behind, but it has become a necessity. My Mac is becoming slow and is incompatible with many softwares and websites. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this upgrade? What are the implications and/or consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware? Are there any precautions I should take before the installation? I have read some posts about Macs slowing right down after installing Yosemite. Any insights and information (in layman's terms please!) would be very useful. Thanks.
Huge thanks for your response Michel. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have done as you suggested, the details are pasted below. Clearly there are some applications I need to remove and no doubt my HD could do with a 'spring clean'. My Mac 'Safe Booted' when I turned it on this morning.
I use many different softwares, some web-based. The decision to upgrade to OSX Yosemite is because I was unable to attend a Webinar this week using GoToMeeting downloadable software. GoToMeeting have upgraded their system and my OS is no longer supported. Other websites like VImeo no longer support my version of Safari. I tend to use Chrome if Safari isn't compatible.
Problem description:
I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. However I have noticed that my MacBook Pro becoming ‘slow’ over the last 3 weeks and therefore might have some issues that need to be resolved before I even consider installing OSX Yosemite. Over the last week my Mac has Safe Booted on three occasions, so clearly there’s a ‘glitch’ occurring.

I just bought an ipad3 and I was wondering if anyone knows how to have my reminders displayed in my calendar? If it not possible on the iPad , is it possible on the iphone4s? if not, than does anyone know of any apps that make it convenient to do so?
That's only for the iPhone 5. On the 4 and 4S, they can repair the back glass in store for $30. They will not replace the display on a 4 or 4S. They must replace the entire phone. Replacing the display on them requires disassembling the entire phone, which they will not do in store.

I run several firefox profiles at the same time. In the past I have used Tab Renamizer to label the main tab in each profile. I like this because then I can tell them a part from the drop-down list in win 7 when switching between profiles. The new version of firefox is not supported by this add-on. Does anyone know of any firefox add-ons that have a similar feature?
Using firefox 7.0.1core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain. -

I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?
It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.

I would like to ask whether anyone knows of any true explanation for why the iPhone 5 starts at $199 in the US and £529 in the UK? That is more than a £400 discrepancy...
iPhones are duty free and even with a $50 shipping fee it would only come to £185.75 including VAT at the current exchange rate.How much a month is the standard 24month contract with AT&T or one of the other American providers that makes the handset cost $199?
Here's the cheapest plans available from the big three:
The plans start there and can run up to $230/mo (for AT&T). -

HI I HAVE A MAC OS X 10.6.8 AND IM TRYING TO DOWNLOAD IPAGES BUT IT WONT LET. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY PROGRAM CLOSE TO IPAGES OR HOW I CAN DOWNLOAD IPAGES 06?
iWork '09 has three different versions each of which require a different minimum operating system 10.4.11 (x.0); 10.6.6 (x.1); 10.7.4 (x.2).

Hi, I've got an imac using mac os x version10.4.11, does anyone know of any printers that are compatible with this operating system version?
Yesterday I set up a Canon IP3600 to work on a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11. It is a print-only unit. I got the 10.4 drivers off the Canon website before connecting the printer. Many Brother printers still have support for older Mac OS versions.
If you need a multi-function device, it is gettng very hard to find any that support PowerPC Macs (pre-2006) of OSX versions older then 10.6 any more.
As you posted in the PowerPC iMac forum I assume you have one. However, there are some Intel Macs (2006 and newer) still running 10.4. Check "About this Mac" under your Apple menu: if it says you have an Intel processor, you have many more doors open. -

This is where a HD clone is so important, ...
Time Machine can do nothing with/to a crashed / failing HD.
Like refilling a gumball machine with a hole in the bottom, ....futile.
At least your vital data is backed up. Look into getting a new internal HD. Very cheap fix $65 for a new HD.
If you have Apple care on your 2011 macbook, contact them for repair/ HD replacement. -

Anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS x?
anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS X?
There is no solution. The Canon UFR2 driver used by the MF series does not work when connected to a Windows share or a wireless print server, including the Airport Extreme or Express. The problem is wholly to do with the way in which Canon has written this driver and therefore the Canon support staff should know this and tell you (although their Mac knowledge in Australia is pitiful and most likely the same in your region).
If you had a model with Ethernet, then you could connect it to the wireless router and print via IP > LPD. But I know that your MF4150 only has USB as I mate of mine had one and he had exactly the same issue on Tiger, which I documented on the Tiger forum and the Airport printing forum.
So, don't waste your money on a print server. Get rid of the Canon and get something that will work for all your OS's. If I can suggest, the safest purchase would be to get a model that supports Postscript. While this does cost more, it will help to avoid any limitations that can occur when using a vendors proprietary printer language, like Canon's UFR2.
