Firefox synch does not synch new bookmarks inside enclosing folders but leaves them at a higher directory on remote computers. How do I fix this? Xmarks did this flawlessly!
I make a new bookmark at home and save the bookmark in an existing folder within an existing folder (two levels deep). When I synch and look at the same bookmark on my work computer the new bookmark is outside the second (enclosing) folder. How do I fix this.
The unix commands you need are:
GetFileInfo
SetFileInfo
and maybe find
for cryptic details use the man command
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
man SetFileInfo
You may use the SetFileInfo command to set the file type & the program which will open the file.
# This little gem will do a get info on all files in a directory.
mac $ ls | xargs -I {} GetFileInfo "{}"

I just downloaded the new software to my iPad but now it won't connect to the Internet. How can I fix this?
Have you tried to reboot your router? Unplug it, count to 30, plug it back in and let it reboot. Also you may want to go into your settings on your iPad and 'reset network settings'.
In case the update messed something up, letting the devices reboot sometimes helps. -
In Firefox 3, when I happened to close the program on having multiple opened tabs, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save and remember the opened tabs, so that I could retrieve them at the next Firefox restart. Firefox 4 does not do this anymore. Is it because I have not configured it correctly somehow, or is this normal? How can I recover this function?
Thanks in advance,
AndreaOne change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but 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''' -
I downloaded new software for iPhone. Now my phone won't connect to 3G. How do I fix this??
You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to re-enable the add-on and let us know whether it works in Firefox 6.
For more details, see this page: [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox]] -
When trying to customize-organise the Firefox 17 does not allow the bookmarks toolbar to be placed above the tabs toolbar is there a solution other than reverting to a previous version of FF?
# Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
# Press the big button to bypass the warning.
# In the search box, paste ''browser.tabs.onTop''
# In the search results, double-click ''browser.tabs.onTop'' to set its value to '''false'''.
Note: If you're using either Windows 7 or Vista with an Aero Windows theme, performing the above will make a large part of the Firefox window glassy. If you find this unpleasant, the simplest thing to do is to install a persona.

I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive). My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?
Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier. -

I rented a movie and it does not show up on my apple tv but is in my video app on my phone. How can I watch it on my tv?
A movie rented on an iPhone can only be viewed on an iPhone. If you want to view on TV you need to rent directly on ATV or via computer (and stream using home-sharing)

Is there a way to separate raw files from jpegs that are in one folder after downloading from camera when you shoot both together. I tried arrange or sort by kind but that does not work. It arranges all folders but not the files in the folder., Is there a way to separate raw files from jpegs that are in one folder after downloading from camera when you shoot both together. I tried arrange or sort by kind but that does not work. It arranges all folders but not the files in the folder.
Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this? I received it as a gift for college, but its hard to do research when everyone constantly yells at me to get off because they can no longer continue what they're doing.
<Edited By Host>" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -
i have smurf village on my ipod and just downloaded new smurf village to my ipad, but it has reset my game on the ipod. how to l fix this and can l get my original game position back.
If it is the same app for the iPod and the iPad (universal or iPod/iPhone app) and not a iPad only app, the only way is to restore the iPad from the backup of the iPod. That will wipe out all the app data currently on the iPad though.
If the iPad is an iPad only app, then there is no way. -
After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?
If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.
You can manage your Apple ID here:
