Firefox on my Mac is set to come on as Google but recently does not do any Google searches.
When I type something in the box and press "search" the box goes blank as if I had just opened it. No information appears.

I'm trying to extend the range of an Airport Extreme 802.11g by adding an Airport Express 802.11n. I set the Express up to join the existing network, but it does not make any difference in the range of the network. What's wrong?
Let me see if I can help you with the basic WDS configuration steps:
Note: To help facilitate the setup, temporarily connect the AXn directly to the AEBS LAN port using an Ethernet cable. Once the setup is complete, you can move the AXn to the desired location. For all configuration steps you will be using the AirPort Utility. Before starting, be sure to jot down the AppleIDs for both base stations.
802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) Configuration
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Wireless tab
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
Manual Setup > WDS tab
WDS Mode: WDS main
Allow wireless clients (checked)
WDS Remotes: <enter the AppleID for the AXn here>
Click on Update and allow the base station to restart.
802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) Configuration
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > Wireless tab
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network (Note: You may have to hold down the Option (Mac) or Control (PC) key to see this option in the list.)
Manual Setup > WDS tab
WDS Mode: WDS remote
Allow wireless clients (checked)
WDS Main: <enter the AppleID for the AEBS here>
Click on Update and allow the base station to restart. -
Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?
Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

i have just reinstalled my mac os x, in fact yesterday, i have not been able to update my software or change anything at all, i try to do a software update and it is asking me for an administrators username and password that was not happening before, i enter the username and password i created and it comes back wrong, its driving me nuts, been to keychain but unable to figure it out, its asking for a system unlock and i have no clue what that is.
am desperate.Stick the 10.6 disk into the computer and reboot holding the c or option key down, select the disk to boot from.
In the installer menu is a Utiltiies menu and a password reset.
If you don't remmember the name, reboot the computer holding the command and s keys down
a black screen with white type appears, when it's finished, dbackspace any extra ssss you have made and then type
ls /Users
(that's Larry, Sam, space, slash, Users)
and press return, a list of user names on the machine appears
type exit and reboot and use the 10.6 disk to reset your password -
Hi, I was told I didn't have Flash 7 when trying to see something online (which I am sure was incorrent to begin with) so I followed the provided link to download Flash version 11.5. The download completed without problems but Flash doesn't seem to work at all. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and restarted. I don't know what to try next, any help would be much appreciated!
Start here;

Also, never, never follow links for flash, codecs or plug-ins of any kind from websites that throw up these warnings - there's a high chance of the link being to a malware site.
Always go directly to the vendor. -
Set InitialQueryOverridden="true" in jsff pagedef but it does not refresh

Last 2 lines I set for searchregion of af:query in jsff page, I am getting the results only when InitialQueryOverridden="true" w/o this I am not getting result,
Problem: result table is not getting refresh unless I run new query, I want to refresh table after it loads for first time. Any thoughts...http://adfharness.blogspot.com/2011/12/query-binding-property.html
A search binding's InitialQueryOverridden property controls whether it should suppress its initial AutoQuery-or-ClearRowSet behavior the first time the search binding is used in a page flow. If TrackQueryPerformed is true, then it effectively means that it suppressValid values include "true", "false", or a boolean-valued EL expression. The default value for the property is false. -
Much time ago, when I was using firefox 3.5/4 (I do not remember exactly), I installed a Theme/Persona of Green Flower (I do not remember the exact name). I liked that theme so I kept it for a long time. But after some days when I wanted to change it, it did not change. The problem is still continuing. I am currently using Firefox 9.0. I have no such Add-on or Extension installed which could prevent Firefox from changing the Theme/Persona.
I have described below what happens exactly:
.I browse over Personas
.I select one or two and install them
.Finally I Enable one for use
.It gets enabled and the Persona is activated
.It is enabled till current session is on
.But on the next startup of Firefox, its gone!
.It doesnt show up!
.All I am left with, is this Green Flower Theme/Persona!
.Please help me to change it, I am fed up seeing this White and Green Firefox
.Even updating Firefox doesnt help!
.What shall I do?See:

Firefox works too slowly. I reseted it. Updated plugins but it does not help.
Firefox ver 25.
It downloads pages slowly. I started it without plugins. I updated all plugins.
Sometimes Firefox shows window "Script on this page may be busy..." At status line showes "Transferring data from.."Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Why does my MacBook come up with window saying "setting Up Mac" when I turn it on and enter my password and stays there and does not go any further
You may want to put this question on the MacBook community forum to get a better response.

ince updating my firefox browser whenever i click on an internet link in an email it does not open on firefox athough my mac switches to the firefox window as i have this set to be my default browser- what should i do?
I have the same problem, and I also wondered if Google toolbar has anything to do with it. There GMAIL was set as the default mail application at first. I have removed that setting, but Firefox 4.0.1 continues to use GMAIL instead of Outlook which is my selection for mailto handling.

In system preferences, MobileMe shows, but iCloud does not, although I have supposedly set it up on my Mac. iCloud is set up on my iPhone.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -

Mac Box Set for iLife '09 and iWork '09 - what does it mean for me?
Apple recently offered the Mac Box Set on their online Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB997
It comes both in family and single user license.
If you recently bought a new Mac on or after January 6, 2009, and it lacked iLife '09 after January 6, 2009, Apple offered an up to date program for iLife:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/uptodate/
Which says:
The program ends on March 28, 2009. Your order must be postmarked or faxed by April 3, 2009, and received by April 10, 2009.
Assuming it is not extended, I won't ask this tip to be updated.
Since the Mac Box Set includes iLife '09 and iWork '09, check the system requirements below to see if your Mac is able to use that update:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/systemrequirements.html
http://www.apple.com/iwork/systemrequirements.html
Mac OS X 10.5.6 will run on any PowerPC or Intel Mac that is 867 Mhz or faster with built-in processor (not including the 800 Mhz dual processor Macs or slower), with 512 MB of RAM, and 9 GB of free disk space. Realistically that has been found to be 9 GB+ 15% free of disk space by end users.
1. If you bought your Mac on or after January 6, getting the iLife up to date, and iWork '09 installer may be the most you'll need to do if your Mac didn't come bundled with iLife '09.
2. If you bought a new Mac post December 15, 2008 but pre-January 6, buying iLife and iWork separtely is probably the best deal.
3. If you bought your Mac post October 26, 2007, but pre-December 15, 2008, the Mac Box set will work with your machine, but may not be necessary unless you lack the ability to contact AppleCare, and lack the ability to get the original discs that came with your Mac, and have no other way to install 10.5. Getting a single user license is good if all you have is one Mac that meets those qualifications, and a family pack if you have 5 Macs in the same household that meet those requirements.
4. Macs purchased prior to October 26, 2007, get the best deal out of the Mac Box Set if they meet the iLife, iWork, and Leopard requirements. Getting a single user license is good if all you have is one Mac that meets those qualifications, and a family pack if you have 5 Macs in the same household that meet those requirements.Sorry about that, but at this time, this tip is outdated. Remove?
