Can't get fresh Firefox installation to read old profile.

I backed up my WHOLE profile folder to a backup drive (internal, D:\). I reformatted my C:\ drive. I reinstalled the OS (Win XP SP3) and Firefox. I copied over the profile files and nothing. I created a new profile with Profile Manager, nothing. I've tried un-/re-installing Firefox and copy-and-pasting the files, nothing. I've already read all of the FAQs. Please, please, please help. (also, the forum won't allow me to respond so please don't ask questions, I can't respond)

There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

If you have access to an Apple Store, the Genius Bar should be able to manually install a version that works with your Operating System.
Be sure to make an appointment though.
AppleCare should be able to help you as well.
You could also try that Express Lane option in the upper right corner of this page:

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, however any redirect is appreciated. Where can I get the download for the latest old mozilla browser. The one with the dinosaur icon before the browser turned firefox. Thanks, Jen

Hi everyone

Phoenix and Firebird were what Firefox was called before Firefox was settled on in 2004, and both used "birds" as the logo. IIRC, the dinosaur was used in the Mozilla Suite.
Here are the earliest versions of the Mozilla Suite.

I hope this request for a historical purposes of where Mozilla came from, because those old versions aren't safe to use on the internet any longer.

Have a canon dc310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?Camcorder unable to connect to computer. Will a mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with a mac?

I have a Canon DC310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's and doesn't have the ability to connect to a computer. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's? Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with the Mac? Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac? Thanks!!

No DV port in camcorder. Just a yellow AV port/hole. I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's. Can I use this with a Mac? Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac? Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way? Thanks again!

I have a Macbook Pro early 2011. i don't have AirPlay on my computer. How can I get it. I have read that early 2011 should have the AirPlay option. Any ideas please.

Hi All,
I need your expert advice to proceed. I bought apple TV and it works fine with my iPad and iPhones also fine with itune of my Mac Book Pro BUT I am not seeing setting which says "Airplay Mirroring" in system preference -> Display at all.
I checked my mac serial number and it shows the model as below. As far as I understood this feature should be there from 2011 onwards.
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
Please suggest!!
Thanks and Regards

Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.
Connect to your work's VPN connection and then share the files

How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.

Sky is right you can restore the old backup and it will not affect the old iPad
To make sure do this:
1. If you have the old one then just turn off wi-fi and the iPad (that's just for your peace of mind)
2. Put new iPad on airplane mode (just for no interruptions )
3. Connect it (while it's on, don't shut it down)
4. Follow prompts and when it asks if you want to setup as new or restore CHOOSE: RESTORE
5. It will make its magic (just wait for it to sync, restarts, and finishes) it might ask you to update software if it does just accept
6. You can rename your new iPad like that you can have a fresh back up
7. ENJOY your new iPad
----------OR-----------
1. Do the above steps 1, 2, 3.
2. On step 4 you can choose to set up as new
3. Then you can choose what to sync on it (click on iPad on the left panel then the tabs on top you choose what you want on it (you can also do that if you restore)
4. Follow steps 5, 6, 7.
****If you don't have your old iPad you can remove it from your account ****
****Also when they sync it to a new computer it will setup as new unless they had an old one then they will restore it their old one****
****if you have it connected with your MobileMe or iCloud and you have the find my _____ you can also wipe it as soon as it comes online****
LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
AGAIN ENJOY YOUR NEW IPAD!!!

I am trying to update my time machine backup on time capsule, but time machine keeps trying to create an entirely new backup (evidenced by the 200GB backup size). How can I get time machine to modify my old backup rather than create a new one?

It must have found the old backup corrupt.. so you will more than likely have little choice. You can archive off the old backup if it is still useful.
You can also verify it. See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
He also has some info on this problem. eg C13.

I have an old Ipod 5th gen that I have been using for downloading music from my library. Upon purchasing an Ipod touch and registering it in Itunes, I can no longer sync tunes to my old ipod. How can I get that option back on my old ipod?

- iTunes purchases by maybe

- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

BTW, this is the iPod touch forum.

How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

How can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?

how can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?

Unless the cell carrier would provide such a service, which if they do would only be available to you if you are the owner of her cell account, then it's not possible without hacking the iPhone, something we cannot discuss here. And if she has the account in her name, then as SeaBeast suggested such hacking may well be illegal. Even 14-year-olds have privacy rights. You would have to discuss that with a lawyer, though.

How can i get the info off of an old appleworks database. to my mountain lion. OS X?

how can i get the info off of an old appleworks database. to my new mountain lion. OS X? My old data base is on AppleWorks 6

1. Read Roger Wilmut's excellent series of articles Abandoning Appleworks, especially the one on databases.
2. Call the Apple Store and order Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping: 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).
3. Install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8, now available for a short time (4 more days) in the March 2013 MacUpdate 10 App Bundle for $49.99:
4. Install Appleworks 6.2.9 into Snow Leopard Server and it will now run concurrently with Mt. Lion:

Recently purchased a new imac and thought my old iPhoto library transferred over. It wasn't. And I can't get iPhoto to open on my old mac ("can't open your current version of iPhoto using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo lib ...

I purchased a new imac (4G, OS X 10.6.8) in Feb 2011 and thought my old iPhoto library transferred over. It wasn't. And I can't get iPhoto to open on my old mac. It says, "can't open your current version of iPhoto using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto". I don't think my old mac will support the newer version of iPhoto so I feel like I'm stuck (this is why I got a new mac -- cheaper than upgrading all my software, etc). Help! I really need to get to my old photos, and no, they are not backed up anywhere. Thanks.

You have two options:
Run the Library on a machine that has the same version as the machine that was stolen.
or
Recover the files from this library and start over from scratch.
To recover the files:
Go to your Pictures Folder (or whereever you have the back up) and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Your originals are in the Masters folder.
Note this will only recover your photos as imported from you camera.

Can't get Lightroom Color Management to select custom profiles

I can't get Lightroom Color Management to select custom profiles.
- I select "other" in Profile,
- a pop-up box shows me numerous profiles to choose from
- I select a profile and the selection is highlighted
- I press "OK" and the pop-up box disappears
- but if I go back to the "Profile" selection line, only "Managed by Printer" is available.
What's wrong here?
Is the inability to select a profile the reason that prints from Lightroom look way to dark when I print them?
Vick

Oh, I'm on Windows, XP with SP2.
The profiles are in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color
I used the .exe that was provided by Epson for installing the drivers.
Nothing fancy, nothing different.
For Lightroom, I installed it off CD, and got the 1.3.1 update off their Adobe site.
Any clues there, to solve the puzzle?
Vick

How can I get regular Firefox and not the "Yahoo" version?

I want firefox, but I don't like the version where I always have the yahoo search page and it won't let me set my own home page.

It is because you might have downloaded the optimised version of Mozilla Firefox made for Yahoo!
Do a fresh reinstallation of Mozilla firefox's appropriate version.
You can download it from here: Firefox 21.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
And yes if you have an add-on of Yahoo search toolbar then you can disable it from the firefox installation toolbars.
Remember do not download the optimised version made for yahoo. As it will only have that yahoo search home page!
Thank You!
