    Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
    iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
    The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
    The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

  • Hi my partner used my email address and iTunes account to set up his iPhone and now both our phones have merged! Does anyone know how to separate these? Can he still use our iTunes account with a different Id or email! Please help!!

    HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!

    Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
    For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
    For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
    I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

  • FAQ: Can I still use Elements membership features with my previous version of Elements?

    Q: Can I still use Elements membership features with my previous version of Elements?
    A: Photo upload and auto-syncing and backup willonly be available until your photos have been moved to your new Revel account. We will notify you when your move is complete and you can access your photos on Revel. You will be able to view your Elements Organizer photos on Photoshop.com until the end of the transition period, when the storage and sharing service closes.

    I also had this problem. After the hint from jsher2000 above, I checked the add-ons.
    It's still called "AVG Safe Search" in the Add-ons Manager in Firefox. (Either under Tools/Add-ons or under the orange "Firefox": Add-ons (Or Ctrl-shift A)
    I found AVG Safe Search disabled in my list of add ons, and enabled it.
    Voila, the icons now appeared in the searches!

This happened to me a few times before and resolved alone, but last time it happened was when i turned off my router and back on while my comp was running and appeared when i tried opening firefox after that. so wat i did was i shutdown the computer and the router and tried turning both on again, and it resolved.
    Therefore, Summary: Shutdown computer then turnoff router then turn both back on

  • Windows 7-Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5

    Hi friends;
    I want to share that great news which is posted Steven Chan (Oracle Development) :
    I'm very pleased to announce that Microsoft Windows 7 desktop clients are certified for the Oracle E-Business Suite. Both Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5 are certified and supported on Windows 7 desktop clients.

    Hi,
    Apologize for the late reply and the misunderstanding about the ActiveX download location, we could change the location through the below registries:
    Use Registry Editor to change the "ActiveXCache" value to the location you want in the following registry key:
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
    Use Registry Editor to change the "0" value to the location you want in the following registry key:
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ActiveX Cache
       NOTE: The values you enter in steps 1 and 2 must match.
    More information, please check
    How to Change the Download Location for ActiveX Files (registries exists in IE11).
    Regarding the urls that download the cab files into user profile directory, would you mind to share the URL?
    And here is some information regarding inf files:
    About INF File Architecture
    We may check the value of DestDir, DestDir can be set to 10 to place the file into the \Windows directory or to 11 to place the file into the \Windows\System directory. If no value is specified, the file is placed into the \Cache directory.

  • How do I insure that Firefox is my full-time browser -- I was using Internet Explorer prior to downloading Firefox. Shud I delete Internet Explorer?

    I want to only use Firefox as my full-time browser. I do not want to use Internet Explorer because it doesn't work on a web site I want to use, but Firefox does work. All I want to know is how do I insure that Firefox will be my full-time browser?

    Please do the following:<br><br>
    #Start Internet Explorer.<br><br>
    #Click Tools | Internet Options and then click the Programs tab.<br><br>
    #Remove the checkmark from: "''Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default browser''.<br><br>
    #Click Apply/OK and then close Internet Explorer.<br><br>
    #Start Firefox, click the orange Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced.<br><br>
    #In the General tab, menu at the bottom, checkmark "'''Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup'''" and then click the "''Check Now''" button.<br><br>
    #Click OK.
    That's all there is to it.

  • Why Can't I create a new folder in yahoo email? (I can if I use Internet Explorer)

    I still use yahoo email a lot. I am also a big fan of firefox. But today I noticed a problem. I wanted to move an email to a new folder but I can't get yahoo to give me a prompt so that I can put in a folder name. Also I wanted to print an email an email and I can't get the print box to come up. Usually all I have to do is click on actions and then print message. Firefox usually brings up it's popup blocker, and then I tell it it is ok to allow popups from yahoo. But right now it won't give me that. I tried turning off my popup blocker, and that didn't seem to help either. I also noticed that whenever I click on things in my email stuff seems kinda slow. It says "loading" for while and then does or doesn't do what I want it to do. At first I thought maybe the problem is flash player. I did a flash player re install, but that didn't help. I decided to bring out Internet Explorer just in case that I could get my email to work with that browser. I was surprised to discover that everything worked perfectly in Internet Explorer. Then I decided maybe Firefox should be reinstalled. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded a new copy of it. Then I rebooted, and installed the new copy. The browser is noticeably faster and smoother then the old install but I am still having trouble with it and my yahoo email.

    I just did a test in google chrome. I can not create a folder under google chrome, but I can create a folder under Internet Explorer.

  • Yahoo e-mail will not allow me to add contacts and will not auto fill e-mail addresses, and now I'm having trouble downloading Adobe documents from my bank. All of these problems can be solved by using Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox.

    I get an error message when trying to add new contacts and it is suggested I try back later, also when sending an e-mail the address I wish to send an e-mail to will no longer auto-fill. This has been a problem for sometime, maybe a month. The last problem I had was trying to download my March bank statement, in Adobe. If I switch to Internet Explorer I can accomplish these tasks. I am using Yahoo on both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
    It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

  • I opened a PDF file & it was blank saying done, I cannot get into my mail. I can get to the 'mailbox', but it just keeps searching for the email. I have gone thru Comcast & I can pick up my emails all right if I use Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla.

    Comcast techs told me to try IE, and I could get to my email that way but I can't read emails with Mozilla. This started with the PDF file that just came in blank and wouldn't let me close it.
    As you can tell, I'm not a technical person at all.

    You can subscribe with only one email address. But this is just what you sign on with. Check your receipt to see which one you used to purchase with. No need to give up any others.

    It sounds like you are running the student edition which comes with a
    textbook and doesn't support external code such as DLLs, CINs, or
    ActiveX. You might want to check with others at your university and see
    about getting access to an academic edition or a
    full edition.

  • How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

    Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

    See these articles for some suggestions:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • Hello, after Internet Explorer was activated, Mozilla Firefox is blank, when a connection to a web page is asked, it shows that the connection is broken.

    Prior to this, it was vice-versa, Internet Explorer was blank and couldn't connect to any web page, after Firefox was activated. When a virus disfunction with Firefox came up, we uninstalled it, installed it again, and it worked fine, with Internet Explorer not working again. When a friend made an adjustement and made it work, we discovered later, that Firefox had the problem of not connecting now.

  • Can I still use a had drive with AE without internet?

    I want to be able to use my 500gb Lacie wirelessly but I don't have high speed internet. Will it still allow me to use the hard drive feature?

    Hello sifusion. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I want to be able to use my 500gb Lacie wirelessly but I don't have high speed internet. Will it still allow me to use the hard drive feature?
    The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) does NOT require connectivity to the Internet if order for you to access its USB attached hard drive. However, you will still need to connect your computer to it, either by wire or wirelessly, to access it.

    Because articles saying "Everything is fine; no problems," would be very short, far less sensational and would garner fewer viewers and less interesting comments.
