Cant save bookmarks in safari. Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.2

Please help.

Yes, this was one of the first symptoms. Also, shortly after screensaver started, screen would freeze.
I went to OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (COMBO) at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Combo installation did solve the problem and has been working well since installation.
Hope this helps.

Decreasing the quality of photos - how do I do it. It used to be that I could - save as - a quality screen popped up ???? I have a Macbook Pro OSX system 10.9.2

I want to know how to decrease the quality if a photo. i have a MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.2 system. I used to just copy as and I could change the quality. -Help!

You would do that with Preview.
If the photos are in iPhoto you an export them at reduced quality.

I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8.

I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8. After trashing the firefox.app from the Applications folder and trashing a related file in the Library folder and then reinstalling, all of my previously opened windows and tabs reappear. And the history and bookmarks are populated too! Then, the computer freezes up so that I must reboot. Because these windows automatically open and the history and bookmarks are populated with my old history and bookmarks, I believe this is not a clean install. Please help.

Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.

Hi!
Didn't know exactly where to direct this question in the Apple Community so I chose Airport. To everyone, thanks in advance.
I’m really desperate. I’m a big Apple fan. I have two Apple MacBook Pro laptops with Mountain Lion software. I also have an Apple Airport Extreme. My HP Photosmart C4780 printer was also purchased from Apple. Anyway, my Internet service is AT&T. AT&T just upgraded my service with a new modem/router (AT&T U-Verse). Prior to the conversion, my wireless printer connection was working perfectly.
Now can’t print wirelessly. For your information, everything is connected via Wi-Fi. The AT&T technician stated that I no longer needed my Apple Airport Extreme, so it was removed. Naturally, after the tech leaves, we find out the HP printer wirelessly no longer works. Thinking that removing Airport Extreme may have been the problem, I reconnected it to the AT&T modem/router, however no change.
This appears to be an HP printer problem. I went to HP community support with the information below but I have received no solutions outside of buying a new printer.
“Ran the HP wireless network test report and it states that HP printer can’t find wireless router and to verify that the HP printer network name (SSID) matches the wireless router network name (SSID) exactly. The Diagnostic Summary in brief: Wireless On & Working & Security – Pass; Network Name (SSID) Found – Fail. Nothing else under diagnostic summary ran. Under Configuration Summary: It shows old SSID name and Mac Hardware Address but no IP Address.
Next ran the Network Configuration Page and everything is enabled except the 802.11 Wireless. It shows status – disconnected. Under general information it states the following: Network status - Offline; Active Connection Type - None; URL(s) for Embedded Web Server – http://0.0.0.0.”
To be straightforward, I’m no computer tech so I don’t know what this means or where to find. The AT&T tech provided me the new SSID Name and a wireless key number but that’s it. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled via USB. The HP message states can’t find router. At this point, I’ve tried everything to reconfigure without success. If I need to make these changes via Airport Extreme Utility 6.0 not easy to find not that I know what I’m doing.
Most importantly if I ever get wireless working again, do I still need Airport Extreme connection or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Any direction or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'll be honest I'm a retiree and a newbie to all of this stuff. I don't even know how to do a thread. (Embarassing) This is my first ever contact with the Apple Community so I'm slowly trying to figure this out as well.
As to your thread request, I'm assuming you want to read my post with HP. Not knowing how to thread, I've copied it below.

Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
I finally figured it out! (Sorry that I'm replying to my own posts btw, but I want to post the solution for anybody else with the SigmaplusEOL1 problem). If you have the SigmaplusEOL1 as your SSID when you print the "Wireless Network Test Report", you do NOT need to return it (I know that's hassle for people). To fix the problem, follow these steps.
1) Unplug your printer.
2) Go to your router's IP address (like 192.168.1.1 or whatever it is for your router).
3) Change the SSID of your wirelss network to "SigmaplusEOL1".
4) For the Security option for your wireless network select none (so that a password is not required to access your wireless network).
5) Power your printer back on and reprint "Wireless Network Test Repor". It should say "No problem found..."
6) The report should also have a the IP Address of the printer (under Configuration Summary at the bottom). Type that IP Address in your browser to get to the printer's settings page.
7) Click the "Network" Tab at the top.
8) Under the "Connections" header in the left pane, click "Wireless (802.11).
9) Click "Start Wizard" at the bottom right.
10) In the wizard, change the SSID and encryption (wep or wpsk) password to whatever you want your wireless network to be. So probably whatever it started out as before you changed the SSID to SigmaplusEOL1
11) Click "Finish" at the end. The page will probably try to keep loading but it won't because you changed the network settings of the printer. Just ignore that
12) Go back to your router's IP address and change the SSID and encryption password to whatever you changed the printer's SSID and password to.
13). Reprint the Wireless Network Test Report. It should say the SSID is the same as your wireless, and everything is good.
That's it. You should be good to go now.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Thank you for your prompt response. This has been a totally frustrating experience. I’ve spent at least 8 hours trying to fix this. My HP problems and your initial steps were identical to mine. I am by no means a tech person and my computer tech knowledge is minimal. However I followed your steps to the best of my ability.
I did get the SigmaplusEOL1 message. I was able to get to Step 6 where the wireless network test report now reads – “HP printer settings do not match your wireless router settings.” So I guess this is a step in the right direction. However unfortunately the Configuration summary message for the IP Address reads – “Not Applicable”. (Note: changing SigmaplusEOL1 to network name knocked out my Internet access. Had to switch back to regular network name to regain access.)
I’m at a loss as to what to do next.   Without the IP Address is it possible to move forward? As I stated earlier, I’m not a tech person. As to your steps 7, 8 and 9, I can’t find them on my computer or maybe I’m looking in the wrong places. In System Preferences - Network, I have none of these steps. If you’re referring to Airport Utility, with the changes in Mountain Lion, these steps are no longer there. If you’re talking about Safari, Firefox or HP, now I’m really lost.
Finally, I don’t know if you can answer this or not. If I ever get wireless working, do I still need Airport Extreme or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Again thank you for your time and patience.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Unfortunately I am unable to offer any further advice as I only followed the instructions listed on the other page.
Finally, as to having WEP enabled, I don't know. Don't even know where to look. The best that I could determine is that my security is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I'm truly sorry about all of this. Thank you for your time and patience. After reading all of this and you change your mind, I would understand.

Can macbook pro osx 10.5.8 use i cloud?

Can my Macbook pro OSX 10.5.8 use ICloud to sync contacts with my I pad2?

Sorry no it can't. Only machines with 10.7 can.
And machines that were issued during 10.5 time will run 10.7 rather slowly or problematically and you can't use your presently installed PPC based software neither.
My advice, since your machine is getting a bit long in the tooth, is to save up for a new 10.8 machine coming out after this summer, ease into it, buy new software and use the 10.5 machine as backup until it dies.
Good Luck

MacBook Pro OSX 10.6 drops Wi-Fi connection when idle/asleep.

My MacBook Pro OSX 10.6 has begun to lose Wi-Fi connection when idle. I can't re-connect unless I shut down computer and re-start. Worse, the system appears to lock up--I can't force quit, must press the power button to shut down. This problem occurs wherever I am using my laptop, not just with one particular Wi-Fi network.

I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
Did you ever find anything more to this?

My 2011 Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.4 latest update won't connect to secured Wi-fi

2011 Macbook Pro
OSX 10.8.4 latest updates
Suddenly stopped connecting to any wireless network which is secured, WEP/WPA/WPA2/personal/enterprise all do NOT work.
Connects to unsecured networks just fine.
For example, our wireless password is:
123456890!
I tried with WPA2, no luck.
Tried with WPA2 and pw 1234567890, no luck.
Tried with WPA and pw 1234567890!, no luck.
Tried with WPA and pw 1234567890, no luck.
Tried WEP with 1234567890, no luck.
Tried with NO SECURITY on this wi-fi network, connected right away.
-I did reset PRAM, no luck.
-I deleted from Keychain, no luck.
-I added as prefered network and removed, no luck.
-I added new network location, no luck.
-I removed the Wi-fi network adapter, rebooted, activated, no luck.
-In the mac console logs, all I see are "wlEvent: en1 en1 link DOWN" when I try to connect to my secured wireless network (home or my office or even at a neighbors).
-Wireless diagnostics tell me nothing
-Console logs do not tell me anything
-Warranty is expired and no AppleCare
Seems like a bug to me, even though I have tried with a Netgear, Cisco/Linksys, D-Link router and even tried tethering to a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and iPhone 5, all same problem, says "Connection failed."
APPLE FRIENDS HELP ME PLEASE!

For example, our wireless password is: 123456890!
Well a password that weak will get cracked in about 6 hours on just about any PC in the area.
Now: LKUY*&T&67NH(*JKÎM<PijriuÎÓyhm8t, that's a real good network password, even a huge botnet would have trouble cracking that. I know because my router was PING flooded by the Flashback botnet and survived.
After OS X is reinstalled over itself to fix it, you might have to do more as it could be a "in user account" issue with a corrupted preference file, bad users permissions or another cause that's not OS X

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

If I close the computer and open it back up, it sometimes stops for a little while, then will spontaneously start again. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks!

See this knowledge base article. Also, you might want to update to 10.6.8 (don't know that that will fix your problem, but it's the latest version of Snow Leopard).

What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

While I have nothing against Time Machine (and I do use it on some of my systems), I always make a bootable clone before taking a Mac in for service (2 actually), and I verify that clone boots before I let the Mac leave.
SuperDuper is free for a full clone (you only pay for incremental features).

I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7. They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc. Are they taking space in all of these locations?

I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7. They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc. Are they taking space in all of these locations?

Are they taking space in all of these locations?
It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture.
iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once. But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive. Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files.
