HI,
No, there's no option to back up your data before running the Apple Software Updates but updating your software doesn't necessarily mean you will loses any important files. You should back up your data on a timely basis regardless.

Why won't time machine open up to the page where it gives me the option to back up my mac onto my external passport? It just brings me to this page where it gives me the option to scroll through my tabs.

My time machine application was working fine earlier, but when I clicked it again it just led me to this. How do I open up the page where it gives me the option to back up my mac? and how do I choose certain files to back up? Because I don't want to back up my whole mac, just certain files.

You are clicking on the wrong TM icon. Or not clicking it correctly.
Use the TM icon in the top menu area. You can always open TM preferences from System Preferences.
You can also right click OR Control Click on the TM icon in the dock.. and go to the same place.
Ie open TM preferences.
But it is not so easy as you seem to think to setup TM to backup this and not back up that.
See pondini for info on how to use TM.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
See Q10 for excluding items.
And info on how to do backups manually.. just turn off auto backups.. you can start them manually when you like.

Does the app download give you the option to erase your memory?

Looking to completely clear my hard drive and start from scratch.
Typically doing an OSX install from a disk gives you the option to either transfer your settings and files from the old OSx to the new, or to wipe your memory and start over.
Since this is an app install, with no alternative startup disk, am i still able to clear my hard drive?
I'd like to save time rather than order a disk through the mail.
Thanks

Ask the question once.
You boot into the ML Recovery disk by holding down the command-r keys and proceed from there.

Why does the pop up blocker bar not always give you the option to view a blocked pop up?

Usually when Firefox notifies you that a pop up has been blocked it gives you the option to view the blocked pop up. However, sometimes that option is not there. Typically this isn't a problem at all but once in a while there will be a pop up that I wish to view but there is no option to view it. Does anyone know why the pop up blocker will sometimes give you the fourth option to "Show 'www.blockedwebsite.com'" and sometimes will only give you the three options of "Allow pop-ups for the site", "Edit Pop-Up Blocker Options", and "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked"? How can I view a blocked pop-up when it only provides the first three options and not the fourth option to view it? I hope my question was clear enough. Thanks in advance!

It is possible that you run into this maximum (the default value is 20):
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/dom.popup_maximum
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Adobe won't give me the option to 'open' files without saving.

I was not able to open .pdf files at all and realised that Adobe Reader had somehow 'gone' from my laptop. I have reinstalled the latest version but if I want to 'open' an attachment in n email it will only give me the option to 'Save' the file. I don't want to Save every file. Can someone please advise me how to get back the option to just ' open' the file?

I use Internet Explorer for my browser.
A/A - I have reinstalled the latest version of AdobeReader.
When I click an attachment to view it, the first option I am given is to 'save' the file, and then the next pop up message gives me the option to either 'open' or 'view file'. The thing is that I don't want to 'save' each file to my laptop to allow me to see it. I want to be able to merely 'open' the file to view aithout actually saving it first.

How to save passwords on sites that don't automatically give you the option to

I enjoy the convenience of saving passwords on my home computers as I usually have quite a few different ones and it can get rather difficult to remember which one goes with which site. I usually don't have a problem as most sites are recognized by firefox and prompt me if I would like to save them. I did find a javascript function that allowed most other sites that firefox didn't automatically recognize to prompt to remember the passwords, however there is still one site using a thing called Single Sign On that I just can't get to remember my password for. This is rather annoying since it is a site I need to log onto multiple times a day and times you out with inactivity. If anyone knows how to get a Single Sign On site to prompt for remembering a password, that would be greatly appreciated.

For some ways around this see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered User name and password not remembered - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
Another option is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60265/ Saved Password Editor] add-oin which allows you to add passwords for sites that disable password saving.

I picked a password for my voicemail, but I don't know how to activate it. Where in settings does it give you the option to apply the password before accessing messages?

I selected a password for my iphone 4 voice mail....but can't figure out how to activate the password protection. I don't want anyone, without the password, to be able to access messages. How do I do that? Thanks!

There is no such option.
You know people close enough to allow them to use your iPhone that would listen to your voicemail or that you don't trust enough not to? Why would you allow such a person to use/access your iPhone?

HT1212 What if the Iphone states it is disabled connect to I-tunes but you don't have a computer and the one you are using wants you to trust it but you can't because it doesn't give you the option on your phone because it is locked?

What if the I-Phone states it is disabled connect to iTunes and when you don't have a computer available that is sync with phone, but are using a different computer. You can't trust the computer from your phone because it is locked. How do I gain access.

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

HT201272 I had to download and pay for the upgraded version of Song Pop TWICE !! I don't like having to do that... I could not find anywhere on the phone where it gives you the option to restore previous purchase...

I would like to get a credit to my account for the 1.99 I have had to spend twice to purchase the Song Pop version that is upgraded. I am sure you can check my account and see that I have purchased it twice.

We are all itunes users just like you. no one here can check your account.
Here is how you redownload past purchases:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

There is am add-on that lets you stop over a word and it will give you the opitions of looking uo futher info but I can't find it.

I have an account but it's not accepting my pass word so I had to re-register. That's not my problem though. I don't have a real problem I love Fire Fox but my system crashed and I'm starting all over again. There is an add-on that let's you stop over a word on any page and it will give you the option of looking up more info on that subject ( I think from Wikipedia, but not sure?). It will give you a little box like a comic strip person talking and then you can go to the box. You can then click on the box to get more info. I can't find this anywhere, can anyone help? Thank you.

What you want is APTURE HIGHLIGHTS but unfortunately it is buggy as I found out: [[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/786091|see thread here ]]

Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
How do I get "save and quit" back?
Thanks

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

FF thinks PDF files are binary files, doesn't give me the option to open them

I just got a new Mac, running OSX 10.7 Lion. I downloaded Firefox because I like it better than Safari. It's Firefox 7.0.1.
Aside from the fact that I can't figure out how to get all my bookmarks from the old mac to the new one, a really annoying thing is that I can't get the new Firefox to recognize PDF files as Acrobat documents. It thinks they are "binary" files, and the only option I have is to save them to disk.
I looked at the Applications preferences, and there is no entry for PDF files. I can't seem to create one. I checked the help and it says that to add a download preference you find the type of file you're interested in, click to download it, and tell it "open with" the application you want. But I don't get that option with PDF files, it doesn't let me tell it what to open it with, the only thing it allows me to do is either save to disk or cancel.

I use Internet Explorer for my browser.
A/A - I have reinstalled the latest version of AdobeReader.

I made a purchase of an album on iTunes...somehow I deleted the whole album from my iMac and now when I go back to my purchases it does not give me the option to download the whole album again, instead it gives me the option of plaing them...please help!!

Where are you looking to download them from ? You might be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes. If that album shows there but doesn't have the cloud symbol against it for redownloading then that implies that it's still in your iTunes library

How can I export to a .sfw file? it does not give me the option in FILE EXPORT.

how can I export to a .sfw file? it does not give me the option in FILE > EXPORT. I have Flash installed and everthing.

The feature to export SWF files directly from After Effects has been removed. It never worked at all well.
To create SWF files, use Flash Professional.
If you want to play a movie that you've created in After Effects in a SWF container, then export your composition using Adobe Media Encoder in H.264 format and then link or embed that movie into a SWF file in Flash Professional.
