Doing a clean install of W7Pro from XP. How to save and re-install my FF settings

Hi
1st question. Is it ok to use XP after Microsoft stops support. What's the danger, if any. How do I keep it safe. Will virus and malware protection be enough. Some computer experts say it's ok to keep using it for at least a few years.
If I update the OS, it will be to Windows 7 Pro with a clean install. I will need to backup my important stuff. As far as FF goes, I will have to re-install it so how do I save all my FF settings, bookmarks etc and re-install them.
Thanks
Steve

I erased my HD. Now I can't instal mountain lion from my bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."

I bought mountain lion, made a bootable flash drive.
I booted from it and it went to upgrading right away!
So I stopped it and went to my former recovery partition I erased my HD because I wanted a clean start.
Now I can't instal mountain lion from the bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."
and there is no 4 choices window.
I don't know what to do.

How did you create the USB install thumb drive? If it was with Disk Utility I have run into this problem and have since used THIS program to make the USB install drive.
As to your problem you only have one option and that is to Reinstall the Original OS X version that came on your computer or if you still have the Lion Recovery Partition use that to reinstall Lion. Or if you system came with Lion and you have No Lion Recovery HD Partition you can boot the system from over the internet and Reinstall Lion.
At startup hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you saa a spinning Globe in the center of the screen. Once that loads Repartition the drive as One partition and then reinstall Lion.

Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

As Niel states you can use your current iWorks.
If you want the latest version you will need to purchase the componets in the Mac App Store.

HT201412 My new IPad is frozen, that is, I was installing an app from WGHB to listen online and it frozen the whole system.

As I said, my new IPad is frozen. I was installing an app from WGHB Classical Music station and it froze. It played music for some 30 minutes then stopped. The app icon is frozen on the screen. No touching or attempts to close it works. I cannot access the IPad any more for this reason,. It's inoperable.

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

Elements 11 states that it does not support the camera raw from my new Nikon D600 and that I should go to "the Camera Raw help documentation." When I click on the help menu I get a message from my browser stating that it is a dangerous website. Now what

Unfortunately it was clicking on Updates that brought the “dangerous website” pop-up, but several hours later I tried again for the umpteenth time, and it worked! I am so glad because I am working on a project with a deadline.
Thanks for replying. Maybe if someone else has this problem they could be told to wait a few hours and try again.
The main option on the ‘dangerous’ pop-up is a “Get me out of here!” button, which I always clicked. There are options to go to the website anyway, but I am too leery of the web to do that. Now that I know it’s possible to reach the update center without risk I will never consider it.
Thanks again,
Lynn

try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. Also, the server may still be slammed from all the activity, so it may take a little with to connect.

I have been using a free trial of photoshop cc and my computer crashed. Now it says up to date, but the program is not installed anymore. How can I re install it? I already uninstalled creative cloud and re installed it, but the same issue occurs.

Hi dmomoney24 ,
Kindly refer : CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.
Please revert if the problem persists.

I updated my 4S phone to IOS 7.1.2 and lost my wi-fi. The wi-fi is on, but can't find ANY networks. I have been through all the steps, from turning the phone on and off, resetting the network settings, resetting the whole phone, redownloading 7.1.2 and lastly going to the Apple store for help. They tried all the exact same steps I did, took the phone apart and looked at and said it is in "pristine" condition. They have no idea why it isn't working, but they could offer to sell me another phone. This is extremely annoying! They claim it has nothing to do with the update to 7.1.2, but that is when I lost the wi-fi, so it has to be related!

My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again...

How to uninstall and re install adobe CS premium in Windows

Hi.
Does anyone know how to install and then reinstall the Adobe CS premium package from my laptop running 32bit Windows Vista.
The product was working great for a while.
Now the programs are currupted and needs uninstallation and re installed.
Would appreciate if some one can help with this.
Thanks.

Hi good day, did you download Adobe CS Premium from online or did u buy the original software in a box? I believe adobe blocked all the installation of the cs 1 versions....you'll have to use adobe cs2. I recently re installed the cs2 version on my windows 7 laptop and it works like a charm. Very easy and quick. if you need help with it, do let me know

How do I install Firefox updates? I have 13.0 and cannot install updates.

How do I install updates? I have tried everything on your website, and nothing works. I have a Mac 10.7.5 and have NEVER been able to install updates. The bar just keeps moving when I tell it to update, but nothing ever happens. It will do this for hours, but never updates. Telephone help would be very helpful. I would appreciate being able to talk to someone who could walk me through this process. Now my bank account site has a message that tells me I need to update Firefox.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 25.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

How to uninstall and re-install iTunes 11?

I installed iTunes 11 onto my MacBook (13" late 2009) with Lion 10.7.5 only to find that the portion of iTunes that shows info and content on my iPad appears to be corrupted. Lists (Summary, Info, music, videos etc) display all in black and so any text is invisible. At the same time I updated iTunes on my iMac and it is fine. I would like to un-install iTunes 11 from my laptop and re-install. I could trash the app but don't believe that's safe to do. I need help.

Hi Joakins,
I think Lloyd has a point here in that all I see there which is really database related is a connection string.
Maybe your question is more general though and you're just asking how to work with a database as a general principle.
Personally, I like entity framework and would recommend that.
You can read a shed load of stuff about it.

With WPF almost every dev uses MVVM and I'm no exception.
