Firefox takes minutes to allow me to add or use bookmarks thru the top level menu on mac - so i want to remove 'bookmark' from the pulldown list - cannnot figure out how to do it.
now instructions available for customizing the top mac window when firefox is selected.
Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

Help me.
Hi Suzkas,
I was new to mac a short time ago and I had frustrations in the learning curve especially as I was so used to working with PC.
If you look at the top left of the screen you will see the words SAFARI next to the apple logo. if not then either open safari or click on the window and the mac will then show safari at the top. If you now click on FILE you can select NEW WINDOW or NEW TAB as you wish. I often use new tab and switch between them. If you go to VIEW and select CUSTOMISE TOOLBAR you can drag an icon to the top of the safari window and you won't have to keep going to the menu to add a new tab. I will sometimes select new window to keep something separate from my other work.
If you close down a window you will often lose your place, but using the tab system you will leave the window active unless you select the cross to terminate. If you have a separate window open you can select the orange blob (between the red and green at the top) and the window will slide down to the dock and stay there, active, for you to return and continue.
Hope this help, stay with it, go see the instore staff and pretty soon you wont look back
PS I have PARALLELLS6 running with a copy of windows 7 on my mac. This means that I can switch to microsoft if I want to. However, with office for mac installed I rarely need to now, the only time I ever open windows is for an application that has no mac version. -
I would like to delete the "inbox" screen from coming up when I open Firefox. I might help if I could speak with a person.
Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

How can I add and remove items from the bookmarks toolbar?
I want to remove items from the bookmarks toolbar and add ones that I use on a regular basis. How can I do this?

The top-most menu/options bar on websites where you could do things like log out, view your own profile, or change settings is what I was referring to. I can't click on anything up there, but I can click on everything else on the site.
That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

I've been having problems with Firefox 4.0 locking up pretty much since I installed it. I did add a few add-ons and all I can think of to do is to remove them. I can't figure out how to get rid of them.
Well, When I click on Add-ons I don't get a list of add-ons. AN Add-ons tab opens which shows lots of other great add-ons but I can't get a list os ones that I've installed and have no option to remove. I'm on version 4.0. Maybe the "remove" as described is for an earlier version?
Nevermind, figured it out. Had to click on "Extensions" on the left side of the page to get the list

Can't figure out how to add bars to reformat 16:9 video to fit a 4:3 frame
Hi all, I'm a long-time user of iMovie 5, and a professional Avid video editor. On my home computer, however, I have some serious issues using the "dumbed down" version of iMovie '08 which, unfortunately, it seems I must use if I want to avoid purchasing new software, and don't feel like trucking my personal work to the office.
Usability issues aside, I'm at a total loss as to how to reformat my imported video clips. At the moment I have a .dv file which is exported from FCP in a 16:9 format. I want to take this into iMovie '08, format it to fit a 4:3 window, add it to a bunch of other clips, and export a finished 4:3 movie to then put on DVD.
Importing is fine, editing is meh but works (sorry, I'm a snob), and exporting works fine, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to put a reformat on the video. The goal is to have black bars on the top and bottom of the video image, squeezing the anamorphic 16:9 video down so that people don't look vertically stretched in a 4:3 window.
What I do NOT want to do is crop out any of the video footage. The goal is to keep all of the video, and just add the black to the top and bottom in order to make it look, well, normal. For the life of me, I can't figure it out. it looks like this would be something that the Crop / Fit tool does, but that won't let me extend the fit outside of the frame of the video, nor will it let me put a 16:9 fit inside of the 4:3 viewing window (I only have a 4:3 option when in 4:3 mode, and only have a 16:9 option when in 16:9 mode).
Thank you very much for your insight.
PS: Just as an aside, why on earth did apple move iMovie '08 away from timeline-based editing? The old iMovie versions were quite powerful editing suites in their own right - even with limited video and audio layers. The '08 version seems to just hate users who want to do anything remotely close to frame-specific edits.I guess I've got to add the flags back in somehow? The weird thing is that the movie is the correct aspect ratio in iTunes and Quicktime, just not iMovie '08.
iTunes, QT Player, and previous versions of iMovie all relied on the "Current Display Size" setting to set the aspect ratio. (I.e., you can modify this setting and change the aspect ratio by merely changing the display size in QT Pro and re-saving the file for these apps.) Unfortunate, iMovie '08 looks for the flag for the main display/export, and, if Apple hasn't changed things, uses the "current display size" to set the aspect ratio of the thumbnails... Weird.
How would I add those flags back in? Can I just open in quicktime and save a new copy? Or am I going to have to contact the original source of the material and have him export it again (with different settings? And what settings would those be? He's coming from FCP).
If the content is of exceptional quality, you could try re-exporting it in MPEG Streamclip using the "Export to DV..." option. This will re-flag the file with the aspect ratio you select in the export window. Also, be advised that performing destructive edits in iMovie '08 that forces the data to be re-written to new containers will lose the flag in the process unless Apple has made some recent changes to avoid this. -
I just started using fire fox and I can't figure out how to add a new folder to my bookmarks.
Can anybody explain how in detail (I'm bad with computers so I need real detail)
Please and thank you. :)If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I just noticed this morning that the lower tool bar, including weatherfox, Hebrew Calendar, and several other add-ons, has completely disappeared. Perhaps it's a matter of having inadvertently clicked on something one day when not paying attention. When I checked under Firefox preferences a little while ago, I went to <manage add-ons> and saw all installed add-ons were still installed. I cannot find a way to restore the lower tool bar displaying them.
After doing a back-up, I opened Time Machine to see whether an earlier Firefox homepage included the lower bar. I don't know whether I did not go back far enough or whether Firefox is somehow opening to a new, unintended default without that lower bar, no matter how far back I go.
Meanwhile, in the process of writing this, I returned to Firefox Preferences and now the general preferences dialogue box is completely screwed up, as though the size of the contents of that dialogue box had grown, in both dimensions, so it no longer fits within the box and parts of it cannot be accessed. It is truncated, in other words, both at the right side and along the bottom. I can no longer even access the add-ons section. The last thing visible at the bottom of that box is the very top part of the line of text that appears to read: "Choose preferences for your add-ons." It's as though someone had come along with an Exacto and sheared away the bottom part of that line of text. And then there's the <?> at the lower left corner. Along the right side of the box, under "Home Page," there are three buttons: <Use Current Pages>, <Use Bookmark>, and <Restore to Defau>, which is the point at which the text ends.
What the heck is going on? Now it's not only a matter of restoring the lower bar on my Firefox page, with add-ons displayed, but apparently I need to figure out how to resize the general preferences dialogue box, as well. I just checked: The other preferences dialogue boxes appear to fit correctly.

I am trying to get my computer back in working order and use Firefox instead of Chrome. I have my "favorites" folder on my desktop but cannot figure out how to link it to my Bookmarks and get websites to come up.
If your "folder of things" are bookmarks exported from Chrome then see the link that Tony has already posted ie
[[Importing bookmarks from Google Chrome. ]] '''<-- clickable link above '''
Once you have those bookmarks in firefox use the firefox Bookmarks menu to see and click on the required bookmark, that will take you to the location of that bookmark, which usually will be somewhere out on the Internet.

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.

Swagbucks keeps showing up even after I removed it from the Add-Ons.
I installed the Swagbucks Toolbar & it took over my iGoogle search engine for FireFox. Iwent to the Add-Ons & Extensions & removed the Swagbucks/Conduit Add-Ons BUT it is not really gone. Everytime I try to go to Goolge the Swagbucks web-site pops up. I NEED to know how to COMPLETELY remove Swagbucks from my FIreFox..??..
I would like to add that my iGoogle web-page will not show my Gadgets since the Swagbucks ha taken over.I just figured this one out and it worked for Firefox 5.0. First, I removed everything from the extensions/add-ons that had to do with Swagbucks. Then, in the toolbar search bar itself, I used the drop down menu next to the Swagbucks logo and selected managed search engines; swagbucks; then selected remove. It seems to have worked, since I've restarted and it has not come back yet.

Across the top very top of the screen I somehow loaded a seasonal picture of pumpkins. I can not find where I got them from and can't figure out how to change it to another picture.
Sounds that you installed a Persona.<br />
You can uninstall your current Persona and revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
