I "Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems", but it doesn't look like the view on getting started tutorial, ie: there's no "Firefox tab". I would really like to clean out all the old stuff, including add-ons and plug-ins that I've tinkered in, but don't know about or need any more, then start fresh with the latest Firefox. How can I do that?

The Firefox button does not or did not showupon Windows XP by default.
It is easy to display that just remove the option to display the menu bar toolbar. Note
# The functions and available optons are much the same just organised differenttly
# Menu tool bar may be displayed temporarily; even if the Firefox Button is present: by holding down the keyboard '''Alt''' key
#To remove the menu toolbar use '''View -> Toolbars -> []Menu Toolbar'''<br /> see [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar]]

Thw www Address that Support told me to put in the Nav bar (chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul) takes me somewhere that doesnt have any of the options Support says it does. I need to reset my master password as I have forgotten it, HELP

The www Address that Support told me to put in the Nav. bar (chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul) takes me somewhere that doesn't have any of the options Support says it does. I need to reset my master password as I have forgotten it, HELP

If the usual method does not work, you can also do this manually.
# Open your profile folder, for details of how to find it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
# Close Firefox
# In the profile folder delete key3.db, signons.sqlite, and if they exist signons.txt, signons2.txt and signons3.txt
That will delete all passwords and remove the master password.

Firefox somehow changed my mac's master password, now i cannot use my masterpassword anymore. can i somehow override my screw up?

i've tried the password i reset it to, to no avail. i cannot alter the master password settting in my mac os prefereces anymore. I'm afraid to shut it off now.

Firefox's Master Password -- used to secure passwords you've saved in Firefox -- shouldn't be connected to your Mac's password(s). Unless Firefox works very differently on Mac than on Windows.
Some articles about the Firefox feature that might help:
* [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
* [[Reset your Master Password if you've forgotten it]]

Firefox crashes when I try to reset the master password using chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul

# Question
Firefox 3.6.10 on Windows 7 crashes when I try to reset the master password using chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul. Is there an alternate way of resetting the master password?

You can delete the 2 files that contain password details, they will be re-created automatically. First open the profile folder, for details of how to find it see the [[profiles]] article. Now close Firefox and delete key3.db and signons.sqlite. If there are files called signons.txt, signons2.txt and signons3.txt you can delete those as well, they are from earlier versions of Firefox.

I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3. Any suggestions?

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

I tried resetting my Master Password using "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul", but when I click on "Change Master Password" it asks for my CURRENT password. I don't have a current password, because I don't remember it and am trying to reset it!

Using FF 4.01 for laptops & desktops, Windows XP 2002 SP3. I used "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul" to reset the Master Password. Then went to Tools/Options/Security, clicked on "Change Master Password". BUT it asks for my CURRENT password and new password. I don't know my current password. Is there a default Master Password that I need to input as the Current password?

If you still have a Master Password set then it looks that resetting the MP hasn't worked.
If using the chrome url (chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul) doesn't work then delete the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.

You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.

I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.
"Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
What do they mean by published albums? I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
Confused and frustrated...

Give this a try: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

Why can't I reset the master password with the option of removing all username:passwords by unchecking "Use Master Password"?

Why can't I reset the master password with the option of removing all username:passwords by unchecking "Use Master Password"? Currently, there seems to only be the option to issue a "chrome:" command in URL which DOES reset the master password. However, it was something that I had to google. The intuitive option would be to uncheck the "Use Master Password" checkbox, receive a verification dialogue, and blammo, password reset. Please make this a feature, thank you.

<blockquote>
You can remove all password in the Show Passwords dialog.
That is where you manage the passwords.
The master password is only for protecting the passwords with an extra level of encryption and has nothing to do with erasing passwords apart from resetting the MP in case you have forgotten the MP and can't open "Show passwords".
</blockquote>
Sorry, for being unclear. Essentially this is a feature request for an option under Firefox options (why not?) to reset my Master Password not knowing the Master Password. For Security reasons I understand why all the saved passwords have to be wiped, but wiping the Master Password (having forgotten it) should be an option without having to issue an arcane command that one has to google to figure out.

Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library.

I was trying to Import photos from my Facebook photo to my MacBookAir and now all i got is lots of back round photo. Please Help me out to delete them.Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library.

What that's telling you is that some of the photos you want to use are not in your Library but online in a gallery you have linked to. You need to download them first.

I recently got the iPhone 4s, but my iPod has a lot of apps with a lot of data on them and don't want to start over. I already synced my iPhone from the computer that had all my apps from my iPod, how do i transfer the data over, the other apps did.

If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

Sounds like it is time for an out of warranty replacement or an upgrade to the iPhone 4.

Help! This probably sounds dumb, but I got my Ipod touch fourth generation yesterday and they said I could sync the music from my computer to the Ipod. Could you guys help me do that? All the websites I have looked on don't help. Thanks!

Reset the master password through applescript

I understand that the correct procedure to reset the master password is to delete these two files from the computer:
/Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.cer
/Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain
The next step is to go into system preferences and click users and groups. The lock has to be unlocked and then the settings button has to be clicked. The text will now say set master password. I can now enter in information in the new popup screen.
I would like to automate this process through applescript. I need some help on navigation of the system preferences. I have looked at turn Airport on and off code through applescript and don't quite understand how to click the settings and unlock buttons.
Here is that code:
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
    click menu item "Sharing" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
    delay 2
    tell window "Sharing"
      click checkbox 1 of row 11 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1
      delay 1
      if (exists sheet 1) then
        if (exists button "Turn AirPort On" of sheet 1) then
          click button "Turn AirPort On" of sheet 1
          delay 1
        end if
        click button "Start" of sheet 1
      end if
    end tell
end tell
end tell

How do I completely delete firefox from my computer and then reload it without losing settings, background, toolbars, etc.?

I need to completely remove Firefox from my computer and then reload it because the current one on my computer is compromised... I don't want to lose my settings, background, and toolbars if at all possible... my computer has been having a lot of problems for a long time, finally got a hacker and viruses removed but programs and apps are still having problems and all have suggested a compromised browser along with the browser itself having issues with "stop script", "not responding", freezing, crashing, and blue screen...
