Firefox upgrade kept it a secret what, exactly was different

I just checked to see if there was an update to Firefox V:5. The check said there was, but gave me no useful information about what was different. So I told the program to download the changes.
It downloaded the changes, and promptly installed them with out further ado. All of a sudden I was on Firefox V:6, with no warning at all, or at least nothing I considered a warning.
HUH??
The last couple upgrades have been major to major, with few (best I remember, '''no''') minor point releases.
Is Firefox really THAT insecure these days?

PS: I just went through the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/ Features] page, and I couldn't find a thing that was new in V:6. Either there really wasn't anything new, or it was so minor I didn't notice it at all.
Is there any place where the Feature changes are listed by when installed?
Or is there really nothing what so ever new in version 6?

I have an iMac and play games on facebook. When I need to request parts from "my neighbors" the list does not appear in the box. When I use my daughters pc it works fine. Recently I had a pop up for an upgrade but don't remember what it was for. How can I

I have an iMAC and when I am on Facebook my list of friends does not show up in the box for me to request gifts. I know this is a problem with my Mac because my daughter's PC shows it. I recently did the automatic upgrade thing but didn't pay attention what it was. When I did that it changed my desktop picture back to factory. Could this have something to do with it and more importantly what do I do about it?

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

What EXACTLY is different in iPod software 1.4.1?

I don't see any difference between iPod software 1.4 and 1.4.1, so does anyone know exactly what they put in 1.4.1?
Dell Inspiron 1100 Windows XP iPod mini 2nd gen. 4GB

You are using a Smart playlist for all of these, correct?
It will be purple and not blue.
The one going from 4 > 5 Stars disappeared off the 4-Star list, and didn't appear on the 5-Star list. The song going from 5 > 4 Stars is still on the 5-Star list and didn't go anywhere.
Sounds like the the Live Updating is not checked on the 5 star playlist.
Is my iPod also supposed to automatically update time-sensitive playlists?
If Live Updating is checked on the Smart playlist, it should update.
For example, I have a playlist of songs I haven't heard in a week. The next day, should it add/remove songs according to them being played, and add more songs as another day goes by?
Yes. Actually, it should add/remove at the minute it was played. It goes by date down to the minute. For example, if it was last played at 2:31 PM on Friday, it should show up again at 2:32 PM the next Friday.

What exactly was the recent update supposed to do?

I just recently got this phone. It's my first smartphone, actually. But when activated, it was downloading the most recent update. Now, I read somewhere that this update was supposed to a lot of things for the phone, including fixing the bug that makes you receive duplicate messages. Well, I just received 4 texts from my friend saying Hey. I asked her if she sent it 4 times, and she said no. So, did the update not fix this problem? My expectations for a smartphone aren't too high, considering I had just upgraded from an LG Cosmos, but I at least expect problems to be fixed when new updates are released... I used to love LG phones, but right now, I'm not too thrilled with this one...

Zweilophone-
Hi there! I'm sorry you haven't seen the benefits of the recent software update! You can see the list of benefits online: http://bit.ly/vutR3O. I would be happy to assist with the duplicate messages you've been receiving! Does this happen with one or two specific contacts? Do they have you listed in their phone as a 10 digit number (Not 7 or 11 digit)? Also, are you using any third party text apps like handcent, etc? Please keep me posted with more info so I can help!
Thanks,

When I upgraded from v4 to v5 my bookmarks was lost. I do have the one that is in the firefox toolbar. Apparently I had a bookmarks add-on. V5 changed my browser how can I determine what the program was and if the bookmarks are still there?

I wish I could remember what exactly happenned the last time I upgraded iphoto years ago, but something

I wish I could remember what exactly happenned the last time I upgraded iPhoto years ago. Did my address book go kaflooey? But whateverit was, it discouraged me from any updating eversince. Believe it or not, I have been limping along with Iphoto 6.0.6 and basically faring fine, given my needs. But I would now like to be able to order prints from my photo library -- and you can't do that any longer with 6. So my question is: what are the things that
can go wrong with the later systems? And is there any way around having that happen?

Make a back up.
Make a second.
Upgrade. Get on with your life.

After upgrading to os maverick iPhoto wants to upgrade it says..Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. What exactly will I lose?

after upgrading to os maverick iPhoto wants to upgrade it says..Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. What exactly will I lose, what will not be readable?

In the current version of iPhoto, nothing.
In previous versions of iPhoto, the ability to access any part of it.
Back it up before doing this.

With the Firefox upgrade I can no longer download pictures from my camera to my iMac osx. Please help.

Before i upgraded to the latest Firefox, I could easily download photos from my Lumix to my computer, an iMac 24 inch with OSX 10.4.1.
Since the Firefox upgrade, my computer does not accept the camera.
No icon appears on my screen.
Neither is there a connection when I directly insert a memory card to a stick and then to the computer. That used to work on the previous Firefox.
I tried disabling and then again enabling the plug in, iPhoto Photocast 7.0. Makes nodifference.
What can I do to correct this?

Backup cycle - running you normally computer backup - you do have a regular backup going don't you?
Image Capture is an application in your Applications folder exactly as I stated
Try Image capture (in your applications folder) or a card Reader - once the photos are safely on your mac and at least one successful backup cycle has run use the camera's format command to reformat the card
In order to import as before you have to solve the problem that you have
In irder to solve the problem you have to read and follow directiopns
Simply posting crazy comments and not fooling directions will not resolve your problem

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2-3 days ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps.

Hot mail is not working after firefox upgrade. I am using Firefox 12.0. I did not have issue with hotmail, but I am facing problem this week .

I am using Firefox 12.0. I did not have issue with hotmail, but I am facing problem this week after firefox upgrade. After entering login the page freeze. I am not able to continue.
I reviewed the thread. I am not using Foxit.
I reviewed hot mail forum. They suggest firefox upgrade causes this issue.
I tried after clearing my browser's cache and cookies. The situation remain same. Any idea?
What is the workaround?

Firefox 3.6 needs the Java Second Generation Plugin which comes with newer versions than 1.6.0_03 - update Java, the latest version is 1.6.0_22

Only boots into safe mode (What exactly is left out in safe mode?)

my PBG4 hangs on a blank blue screen when i boot it, this happens on fresh (HD wiped) installs of both Tiger and Leopard. It boots fine from a dvd and while in safe mode.
i want to try to track down what exactly is causing the hang, i guess it is a hardware problem that only presents itself when all the stock drivers from apple are installed. is there a list somewhere of what is left out of a safe mode boot?

Hi slee!
"...this happens on fresh (HD wiped) installs of both Tiger and Leopard."
Do you mean that, you did an Erase & Install of Tiger 10.4.x, and the PowerBook G4, won't successfully startup, and the same, if you do an Erase & Install of Leopard 10.5.x?
Have you successfully installed either of those versions on the PB G4 before?
Are you using a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, and a Full Retail Version Of Leopard.
Or are you using a Model Specific DVD, from another model of Mac?
If this is the type of disc, then that may explain the unsuccessful installation.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.

Third Party Applications? What exactly are they?

Right,
I've read alot about the Blue Screen that appears when Upgrading to OSX Leopard. I am intending on upgrading tomorrow when my external hard drive arrives so I can Clone my 10.4.11 onto the external hard drive and upgrade the cloned version first but would like to know if I can check in advance for any of these' Third party App's'? and what exactly are they?
Regards,

A third party application is anything not made by Apple. It can also include products that Apple purchased fairly recently (some of those "Pro" apps) that weren't coded to Apple's specfications and haven't been well tested. Apple doesn't and shouldn't test their software with third party applications. It isn't their job to test other people's software. They probably make exceptions for things like Office and Photoshop, but that is a short list.
Most third party applications will be fine. The ones you have to worry about are those that ask for your password when you install them. They can then install any sort of incompatible software.
After you clone your hard drive, verify that you can boot from the external drive and all your data is there. If so, don't upgrade the external drive. Boot using the 10.5 DVD and immediately run Disk Utility and re-partition your internal hard drive to wipe it out completely. Then install Leopard. Do not use Migration Assistant. Re-install all your 3rd party applications that are 10.5 compatible. Be very careful about copying over from backup anything in a Library/Preferences folder. You can copy any preference file from a third party application back over - those are safe. Anything from Apple may have been upgraded. Only copy over the Apple files that you absolutely have to, such as your Mail folder and Address book file, for example.
It sounds like a lot of work but it will only take a couple of hours.

Problems running basic text in aftereffects faster than 19fps... what exactly do I need?

OK, so I finaly upgraded my computer into the mild 21st century, and to my disapointment, I cannot seem to run anything as smoothly as I had thought.
These are the specs for my computer...
ASUS m5a99x EVO motherboard
8 gigs ddr3 1600 ram
NVIDIA 9800gt 1 gig ddr3 gpu
AMD Phenom II x4 B50 Processor at 3.2ghz (IE its an AMD athlon II 450 X3 3.2ghz with its fourth core unlocked (of which i have had no problems with thus far, as it seems to be very stable)
150 gig 7200 sata 2 harddrive (OLD)
200 gig 5400 sata 2 hard drive (OLD AS SH*T)
300ghz portable usb2 hd (7200) (2 years old)
Basicly, I cant seem to run even basic text in after effects faster than 19 FPS.
I've tried to change the resolution to half, and even a fourth, and that didnt work at all, infact it made it run about 1 frame worse.
I tried changing the Open gl texture memory, raising and lowering, but to no avail, Ive changed the ram usage in after effects to use 2 gigs per core, then one gig, then turned off multiframe rendering alltogether, and nothing.
I feel like ive tried everything in my power.
Now the Imacs at my school, they run the program smooth as hell... and they arent that much better, spec wise than my computer.
Even my friends Imac can run it smooth, and he only has an I5 cpu at 2.4ghz, which is fine and my understanding of cpus is that those are better proccessors, but its not that much better, and even still, why would that be neccesary just to run text scrolling accross the screen?
Even more so, why would changing the resolution not have any effect?
What exactly do I need to run after effects smoothly for a basic text scroll at say, 720P?
I need to know what to upgrade, soon I plan to get cs6 and I would like to have a computer that can edit basic HD properly.
What I realy dont get is that I know people with laptops that are running AE smoothly and these are much worse than the specs on my machine, some even with only 4 gigs of ram...
Is there something wrong, do I have some sort of frame limiter thats capping at 19 fps? is there some sort of memory leak?
Any help would be much apreciated.
Now the only thing I can think of thats holding me back is the crappy hard drives, every thing else seems like it should at least run text on after effects at 30 fps.

thanks, that at least is enough to get me started, lol I have a deadline tomorrow and have been burning a lot of time on just trying to get this to run smooth.
BTW, I am running the project off of the portable, I switched from the old, but faster harddrive that was sata2 to the portable given I thought that might increase the speed, which it didnt.
what I might do is crack the case and just plug it straight into the computer, though I am hesitant to do so as if I were going to do that, I might as well just purchase a usb 3.0 one and do that so i can get sata 3 out of it, since those cases dont exactly just snap back together.
When I say basic text, I mean layered text, just word after word in order. I honestly dont have any plugins that I know of, (if I had the money for them I would have spent it on a better computer probably) so what I have is what came with the master collection.
And when I say 19 FPS I mean spacebar...
NOW I KNOW, that Im not garunteed 30 fps when running the preview, but when I use the mac, it previews fine... and i just looked up my CPU in comparison to the I5 in the IMAC that I was refering to, and mine is actualy faster according to some benchmarks, granted its not faster than the vast majority of I5s and I7s, but the particular ones in the computers I was refering to, mine is actualy faster over all, so I figure its not a CPU thing (unless its a -our software only works right on INTEL- thing).
Now as far as the 3d camera, yes I am using it, but even when I run the text without a camera function (ie the thing that you have in your comp) or any sort of 3d layering it runs just as slow.
The Audio might be a problem, I used to have a soundcard, but that died about a year ago so I have been using onboard sound (realtek HD something) which truly sucks in comparison to a proper sound card, but I cant imagine the IMACs have anything better, I mean the sound from the Imac kinda sucks alltogether, dosent even have any sort of virtual surround... But a driver issue it could be, realtek is kind of ghetto in that regard.
I will try some of the tips above (the open gl and the preview output and such), and thank you very much.
*EDIT*
OK, so with the preview output, I have computer monitor only? is that what you ment?
*EDIT*
OK, so I did the OpenGL thing, removed it, and for a brief few secconds, it started to run at a mix of 25 to 30 fps, then, when I went to play it again, it was back at 19.

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud. Any thoughts?

There are two aspects to iCloud. One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud. The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
First to get an iCloud account:
If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration). If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7). Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address. You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.
