At work, administration disallows .exe, so cannot install Firefox. If Google Chrome figured out how to install itself, then so should you!

I am at work, and policy disallows .exe installations without an administrative password
But Google Chrome has figured out a way to install itself, anyway.
So, I would think that you guys should be able to figure it out as well, so I can have Firefox at work. I am using Windows 7 32bit.

I don't know how Google pulls that off, but I doubt if Mozilla would ''even think about'' creating an installer that would bypass precautions that SysAdmins put in place to prevent the installation of un-approved applications.
Besides, I would worry about being "canned" over installing un-approved software on a company PC without permission. With the job market the way it is now, they could probably find 100 people willing to fill your job for at lot less than you are getting paid.

I moved iTunes TV files from my PC to an external drive. I want to return them to my PC so I can watch during travel, but cannot figure out how to move them back. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

I moved some iTunes TV shows from my PC hard drive to an external drive. I can watch them as long as the external drive is plugged in, but I now want to move them back to my PC to watch from the internal drive, but cannot figure out how to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Is it just the TV Shows that you moved to the external, or did you consolidate all your media there?
What is the current location of the media folder given under Edit > Preferences > Advanced?
If the media folder is currently pointed to a folder on the internal drive you could select the files you want to copy, then right-click and select Consolidate Files from the pop-up menu. This will leave the originals behind. If you want to move specific files to a new media folder then my script ConsolidateByMoving can do this.

We purchased Lion OS in April and uploaded to our iMac and now want to upgrade out MacPro. We cannot figure out how to use the previous purchase (says you can use on 3 computers)....confused. How do we begin the process using our previous purchase?

We Purchased Lion OS in April and uploaded to our iMac. We are now ready to upgrade our MacPro, but can't seem to find out how to upgrade using the previous purchase (said we could use the Lion OS purchase on up to 3 devices). We have the receipt of purchase with the Order # and Purchase #, but I just can't figure out how to do the upgrade. Where do I go? What reference # do I enter?

Go back to the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Lion. It should show up in your Purchases list ready to download. If it doesn't, log out, log back in, and hold down Option key while clicking on Purchases.
A tip: Once the download is finished, dismiss the Installer. Go to your Applications folder and find it - copy it to another folder or hard drive to keep for emergency purposes. Then click on that installer and install (it is automatically removed/deleted after the installation is complete). That way you can avoid having to do another lengthy download.
And, yes, just to confirm: you can install Lion on as many Macs you own and control. However, the license is not transferable; if you ever sell the machine, you need to erase Lion and reinstall the original OS.
You don't go to iTunes - go to the Mac App Store (in your Applications folder). You do need 10.6.6 (or 10.6.8) to have the Mac app store.

I recently installed the new operating system. iMovie doesn't seem to work the same as in Mountain Lion. I can't figure out how to burn a movie to a DVD. Has that feature been eliminated?

I am having difficulty figuring out how to burn my iMovie to a DVD. Has that feature been eliminated?

unbelievable... the amount of RAM is the issue... I found a post (http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=8448) on an unrelated matter, but the user solved their issue under X64 by limiting the amount of RAM WinXP x64 was using by editing the boot.ini file.
The basis of the "trick" is to add " /maxmem=4096" to the end of your OS line, but I elected to copy the line and add it to a new entry so I could easily select which "mode" i wanted at boot.... like so...
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition()\WINDOWS="Window s XP Professional x64 Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition()\WINDOWS="Window s XP Professional x64 Edition - X-Fi tweak" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /maxmem=4096
amazingly this solved my issue... but now my system properties only report 2Gb instead of 4Gb... unacceptable!
When Can I expect a fix for this Creative?

I have downloaded a new version of Firefox, but can't figure out how to install it. I see the folder with Firefox application in it -- & have tried to run the executable files, but none of them start the installation.

I have a 3.6.23 Version of Firefox & am trying to upgrade to the latest version

Hi,
There's information on that here: [[Installing Firefox on Linux|Installing Firefox on Linux]]

Cannot load firefox or google chrome

Is anyone else having this issue?

If any browser you try fails then I would look at your internet plugins since they are common to all browsers.
Look in,
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (in your home directory)

I can't figure out how to install Bootcamp 5.

I recently bought a Windows 8 disc, with the hopes of installing it onto my MacBook Pro early 2011 version 10.8.5. I've read up on all of the instructions, and know how to install windows itself, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install Bootcamp 5. The instructions on Apple's support website say I need to open up the Bootcamp 5 folder that I put onto a flashdrive (which I did) and open the setup.exe file while in windows.... "while in windows"... don't I have to have Bootcamp 5 installed before I can have windows installed and open? I tried installing Bootcamp 4 and installing my windows 8 64-bit onto there, but as I suspected, it won't actually install the windows 8 information, because bootcamp 4 doesn't support windows 8 64-bit. This is the first time I've tried doing anything like this before. I don't have windows 7, or bootcamp 4, or parallels, or anything like that. After giving it a lot of thought, I'm beginning to worry that Bootcamp 5 can only be installed if you already have windows 7 on bootcamp 4, and you're just trying to upgrade. I really hope that's not the case, because I've already spent over $200 on the windows 8 disk, and I can't return it. If somebody could please tell me how to install Bootcamp 5, if it's even possible without windows 7 already on bootcamp 4, I would really appreciate it...
Thanks!

So I never installed grub or syslinux. You may want to reread the beginner's guide and specifically the section on efistub: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#EFISTUB
Roughly summarized, condensed, and paraphrased it goes like this (and leaving out stuff you don't need):
Look at the output of "lsblk." It will probably show a 200MB partition as /dev/sda1. This is probably your UEFISYS partition.
Mount the UEFISYS partition at /mnt/boot/efi, chroot and copy the kernel and initramfs files as described below.
Create /boot/efi/EFI/arch/ directory.
Copy /boot/vmlinuz-linux to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/vmlinuz-arch.efi. The .efi file extension is very important as some UEFI firmwares refuse to launch a file without this extension. Important: Remember that the file is called vmlinuz, but not vmlinux.
Copy /boot/initramfs-linux.img to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch.img.
Copy /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch-fallback.img.
Every time the kernel and initramfs files are updated in /boot, they need to be updated in /boot/efi/EFI/arch. This can be automated either using systemd or using incron (for non-systemd setups).
You will find more nuggets here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI for your future improvements.
Create a refind_linux.conf file with the kernel parameters to be used by rEFInd:
# nano /boot/efi/EFI/arch/refind_linux.conf
"Boot to X" "root=/dev/sdaX ro rootfstype=ext4 systemd.unit=graphical.target"
"Boot to console" "root=/dev/sdaX ro rootfstype=ext4 systemd.unit=multi-user.target"
Note that instead you may want to use a line similar to
"Boot to X" "root=PARTUUID=78b89af1-8445-4f8d-bfed-9f57b96ee0a7 ro rootfstype=ext4 systemd.unit=graphical.target"
Those two things pretty much did it for me: copy the kernel files into /boot/efi/EFI/arch (after you mount the UEFISYS partition there!!!) and make the refind.conf file.

Hi Shayes,
You can change the default download location by going to ''Tools > Options > General''. The [[Options window - General panel]] has some extra information on all of the options available.
Hopefully this helps!

ITunes worked fine on my Windows 7 machine. Had to rebuild the machine but all the data remains. Downloaded a new version of iTunes and cannot figure out how to load all of my music currently on my hard drive. Tried moving "iTunes Library" file. Did not work. Never had trouble like this before.

Many thanks for your post. I've been trying for days to get this sorted and was getting well fed up with I-Tunes. Really thought i'd never get it working again. Tried un-installing it, loading older versions and they still wouldn't work.
Came across your suggestion by chance and top man - it worked..!!!!
How you even knew what to do is beyond me - but thanks so much. I really was pulling my hair out.
You need to put your post over the Web as there seem to be loads of people having the same trouble.
Thanks again.

HT1386 I have an iphone 4 which quit working and I had my iphone 3 reactivated until I get my 4 replaced or fixed. My computer does not recognize my iphone 3 when I plug it in. I also cannot figure out how to apply my last backup to my iphone 3

If your iPhone 4 was running iOS 5, you can't install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G which means you can't restore the 3G from the backup of the iPhone 4 running iOS 5.

Hi there,
Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.
Good wishes,

When looking for WeatherFox, I discovered my entire lower bar had disappeared. I cannot figure out how to restore it. The add-ons are still installed.

I just noticed this morning that the lower tool bar, including weatherfox, Hebrew Calendar, and several other add-ons, has completely disappeared. Perhaps it's a matter of having inadvertently clicked on something one day when not paying attention. When I checked under Firefox preferences a little while ago, I went to <manage add-ons> and saw all installed add-ons were still installed. I cannot find a way to restore the lower tool bar displaying them.
After doing a back-up, I opened Time Machine to see whether an earlier Firefox homepage included the lower bar. I don't know whether I did not go back far enough or whether Firefox is somehow opening to a new, unintended default without that lower bar, no matter how far back I go.
Meanwhile, in the process of writing this, I returned to Firefox Preferences and now the general preferences dialogue box is completely screwed up, as though the size of the contents of that dialogue box had grown, in both dimensions, so it no longer fits within the box and parts of it cannot be accessed. It is truncated, in other words, both at the right side and along the bottom. I can no longer even access the add-ons section. The last thing visible at the bottom of that box is the very top part of the line of text that appears to read: "Choose preferences for your add-ons." It's as though someone had come along with an Exacto and sheared away the bottom part of that line of text. And then there's the <?> at the lower left corner. Along the right side of the box, under "Home Page," there are three buttons: <Use Current Pages>, <Use Bookmark>, and <Restore to Defau>, which is the point at which the text ends.
What the heck is going on? Now it's not only a matter of restoring the lower bar on my Firefox page, with add-ons displayed, but apparently I need to figure out how to resize the general preferences dialogue box, as well. I just checked: The other preferences dialogue boxes appear to fit correctly.
I use a Mac PowerBook G4 with Firefox version 3.6.13.

I purchased a book from itunes and cannot figure out how to get it on my ipod nano 7. I cannot find an answer that works.

I purchased an audio book from itunes and cannot figure out how to get it on my nano 7. I have tried everything.

Have you double checked to make sure these Audiobooks are configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes? This is assuming that the audiobooks are already stored in your iTunes library and appear under the Books category.
To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Books tab across the top in the main iTunes window and select it. Here you can configure what and how audiobooks are synced to the device.
If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner. This will sync the updated changes to your device.

I want to remove an add on becauase I've been having problems with FIrefox locking up since I installed. How the heck does one remove an add-on. I hate to be stupid but I cannot figure out how to uninstall an add on

I've been having problems with Firefox 4.0 locking up pretty much since I installed it. I did add a few add-ons and all I can think of to do is to remove them. I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

Well, When I click on Add-ons I don't get a list of add-ons. AN Add-ons tab opens which shows lots of other great add-ons but I can't get a list os ones that I've installed and have no option to remove. I'm on version 4.0. Maybe the "remove" as described is for an earlier version?
Nevermind, figured it out. Had to click on "Extensions" on the left side of the page to get the list
Thanks
