Can't get bookmarks moved. Been through Profiles changes, tried importing. MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.7

Upgrading to Firefox 4 on a new MacBook Pro. Lost bookmarks. Followed instructions in "Solutions." Several times. Then uninstalled everything and reinstalled 4. Created html files from old laptop for both FF and bookmarks. FF 4 goes through the motions of importing the bookmarks but nothing shows up.

  • How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?

    How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?  The Mavrick version is crisp and clean but a colored dot is not the same as a highlighted word. I rely on my iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 to help me track which of the 8 sites I visit for my job during the week - the color coding is (was key) to organizing and tracking meetings.  I hate the upgrade! 

    If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
    To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.

  • How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

    Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

    Sean and Andy -
    I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
    So here's what does NOT work for me... 
         (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
         (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
         (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
         (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
         (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
         (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'--  routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
         (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
         (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID! 
    So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ???  As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
    Any advice would be appreciated!  TIA.

  • I can't get video attachments in gmail to play on my macbook pro.  2 month old macbook pro running lion. says format not supported

    I can't get video attachments in gmail to play on my macbook pro.  Says format not supported. 

    What kind of video?  There are dozens of formats, some don't play on a Mac unless you have the right plug-ins for Quicktime.  There are some things you should download to help you out. 
    http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
    http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
    These should cover EVERYTHING you'd ever encounter (though maybe not).  Frankly, if it's not H.264 or w4v (or both), it doesn't belong on your mac. 

  • How can i get rid of a blue screen background on my MacBook Pro

    how can i get rid of a blue screen background on my MacBook Pro

    Hi Heidi,
    Do tou mean it only boors to a blue screnn???
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Can't get any audio ("no input or output devices") on MacBook Air, running MAC OSX 10.8.5

    This happened today completely out of the blue.
    I have tried some of the other suggestions posted here and other forums. I did a Disk Utility check and nothing seems wrong with the hard disk,
    Rebooted 3 times.
    Re-set the PRAM
    Tried headphones (still no response from either audio volume key, as both show a circle with line through it,
    and tried System Preferences on Sound, but I get the same message (no devices).
    Tried to locate the preferences file called BezelServices that others have talked about, but can't find it...

  • Can't get my external hard drive to show up on MacBook Pro

    I used Time Machine to keep backups for my MacBook Pro using the latest version of Lion. I backed up to a WD external drive. My computer went to be repaired and they had to put in a new hard drive. When I got home and plugged in the external drive it appeared on my desktop. The Apple rep told me to drag over folders from the backup. I looked through a few of the backups (dated) and everything seemed to be there. But I got the spinning wheel as I tried to copy over "latest". I couldn't get rid of it and had to reboot.
    So next it appeared, showed one folder but when I clicked on that folder there was nothing inside.
    Then I couldn't see the hard drive any longer.  Now I take out the drive and plug it in again and the drive won't appear in the list of devices. I use the disk utility and it doesn't see it either.
    Needless to say I'm pretty concerned. I've had the problem of an external drive not appearing a few times over the years but a reboot or unplug and plug back in always fixed it. not this time.
    Help!
    Much appreciate,

    If you have recently upgraded to Lion, it would be probably a matter of drivers. You should go to the official web site and download the latest drivers. If not, try to format the HDD with disc utilities. If your disc doesn't appear even in disc utilities, try to format it with any copy of windows in fat 32 format

  • How can I get an audio-in connector to work with a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012)?

    I have a Plantronics headset with two cables: audio in and audio out (like the two connectors on the old MacBooks). It is pretty old and so I assumed it was for those. I have tried to get it to work with my mid-2012 MacBook Pro, but the microphone (audio in [yes, it does have a picture of a microphone on it]) cable isn't recognized by the Mac. It thinks it is headphones, and unsuccessfully tries to play sound through it. The other cable (audio out), however, successfully receives sound and plays it through.
    I hope that makes sense, and I would appreciate any help .

    They removed the audio input, starting from your model, you will need an USB interface, there are may, and it depends on how high of quality you need.
    This works for most applications, unless you are trying to record "music quality"

  • Can I get a Dell U2410 Monitor to work with a MacBook Pro?

    I rashly bought this monitor. It looks lovely but it has a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200, which I could not get with the VGA connection, and Dell do not make drivers for the Mac at all. Is there any chance of getting this monitor to work properly with my MacBook Pro? I found the Dell support site extremely difficult to penetrate, so I put the monitor back in its box and am going to sell it if I can't easily find out how to use it.
    Any advice is welcome.

    I think you are using the wrong adapter. Higher resolutions require the use of a mini display port to DVI or DVI-D Dual link adapter. A VGA adapter will not do the job.
    And I assume you are trying "extended" and not "mirrored" mode. What model Macbook Pro do you have?

  • I can't get iCal to push entries and sync between my MacBook Pro, my iPad 2 and iPhone.

    I have iCal on my Macbook Pro, V4.04 and I can't get entries to sync with my iPad or iPhone. I have all the calendars checked. I have gone to system preferences and Me and manually synced and I doesn't sync.

    Subscribe to your calendar in iCal (if you have not done so)
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts> click the plus sign and add your MM account, your calendar will appear in iCal, the one you have is probably a local calendar (does it appear under 'On My Mac'?)

  • Can't get external speakers to work using headphone jack on MacBook Pro

    I have a male-male connector that I use for my iPod to radio or multimedia player to play on external speakers. When I plug it into my MacBook Pro, sound goes dead on the MacBook Pro, no sound comes out of the external speakers, and the preferences on the MacBok Pro say "Headphone : Headphone port" and volume is at full, and mute is off. Am I doing something wrong, or do I need a repair?  I unplug the cable and sound comes back.

    No such problem, eww. The speakers were plugged in and working. I shut off the speakers, but did not unplug them, and when I turned them back on, there was no sound. I tried my headphones, and there was no sound from them, either. The headphone port was dead. I restarted, with no change.
    I was getting ready to do an SMC reset and read the preliminary steps. The last one before resetting the SMC was to shut down the MacBook Pro. That brought the port back to life. When I restarted, I had my external speakers back.
    Go figure.
    I have not upgraded to Lion because I have PowerPC apps that I want and/or need, so this was not a Lion-related bug. I am certainly glad the port isn't dead. I was not looking forward to having to send in my MacBook Pro for repair.

  • How can I get bookmarks moved to a new laptop when my old broken laptop can no longer launch Firefox but does still allow access to all of the Profile files such as places.sqlite

    My old laptop appears to be a victim of Bit Rot according to an IT person who was here helping me. All of the support material I've seen so far related to moving bookmarks from one computer to another seem to assume that Firefox can be launched on the old computer (which can't be done in my case). I'd like to figure out how to use the files which may hold my extensive bookmark data while the old computer is still allowing me to access those files and save to a removable thumb drive.

    Fortunately I seem to have found and still have access to the old Profile files you're mentioning but I don't know how to make use of them such that Firefox on my new computer can incorporate all the data they hold. Again, I'm not able to open Firefox on the old computer. Any ideas how to use these .sqlite files on the new computer to get myself operable how I had been w. Firefox on the old broken one?
