Getting other than explorer with old system

I was given my first mac by a friend - osx1.0 I can't seem to get anywhere running explorer. What would be better and how do I get it?

Here is a list of available Browsers for Mac.

Is it possible to get Siri to work with 'old' Car handsfree systems?

Is it possible to get Siri to work with 'old' Car handsfree systems?
Unless I'm missing something - Siri doesn't work well with older handsfree car systems - as typically the cars built in system handles the voice control and relays the request to the phone over bluetooth protocols. I tried initiating siri standalone while connected to the car and it failed.
I was hoping I might be able to do some sneaky like 'Call Siri' to enter Siri mode but it doesn't seem to work.
I'm guessing future Car handsfree systems will be Siri aware - but making Siri work with older systems (and my car isn't old - it's a 2011 model) would be very useful.
Has anyone come up with a workaround? I really don't want to have to buy or use a bluetooth ear piece
Thanks
Adam

I never heard anything on this and so am still unable to use Siri without touching my phone.

Does finder support an "edit" choice like "open" other than "open with"

I would like to know if I can configure finder to provide an "Edit" link (or choice) other than "Open with".

To differentiated, for example, given a file like "myproject.pl" (a PERL script).
"Open" would run the PERL program.
"Edit" would open an editor with "myproject.pl".
I realize that doing an "Open With" and selecting the editor is not that big a deal but I was looking to short cut that.
I am interested in Finder in general and changing how it is configured and configurable. This is a beginning on doing more with Finder.

After system restore i reinstalled firefox, how to get back bookmarks etc with old firefox data?

After system restore the only thing i have is old firefox data on desktop if all bookmarks, passwords are recovered it will be great help.
P.S
i reinstall firefox from drive other than c ,that was in downloaded form.
Thanks

The "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop has been created as the consequence of resetting Firefox.
Doing a Session Restore may have reverted the profiles.ini file to a previous version that hasn't registered the new profile folder that a reset had created, so you may need to check for this.
* C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
If you have a profile folder that is more recent than the "Old Firefox Data" on the desktop then you can use edit the profiles.ini file and change the path of the currently default profile to the name of the profile folder as you find in Document and Settings.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
It is always best to be cautious with using System Restore as this can cause some file to be replaced with older copies, i.e. your Firefox installation and profile folder can get inconsistent and you may have to reinstall Firefox as well.

I am away from home on holiday and all my contacts have disappeared from my iPad2. I have done hard reset, but to no avail. Is there any other way to get them back other than syncing with my home pc?

I am away from home on holiday and all my contacts on my iPad have disappeared. I have tried a hard reset but they have gone. Is there anything else that can be done other than waiting until I get home to my main pc?

Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2.   I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'.   I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase.   This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'.   There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail.   I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes.   Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not.   Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online.   These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason.   They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.
Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again.   I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2.   I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing.   I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail.   I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there.   However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push.   Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!!   For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!
Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'.   I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts.   I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.
Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not.   I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done.   I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while.   Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all.   My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up !   However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad.   I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted !

Trying to get on the wireless with old G5

Hi,
I have one of the first G5's and have been on the internet using a ethernet cable to my
Airport Extreme.
I bought a new computer and like to put the old G5 in another place of the house.
Can anybody tell me how I can get on the wireless with this computer?
Can I use an Airport Express and plug it into the ethernet port or do I need more stuff?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Unless you can or wish to have an appropriate Apple wireless card installed, it ought to be possible to use the latest 802.11n (draft) AirPort Express as a wireless client the way that you have in mind (see the ProxySTA part of this article).
Otherwise, a dedicated wireless Ethernet bridge (such as Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N or Netgear WGE111) could be an alternative. WPA security may or may not be supported (with or without a firmware update), so check the specifications.

Clean Install or keep messing up with old system.

Hi,
I have been learning about Arch for a while - mostly trying different things and learning commands and how it works. In this learning process, I install a lot of things that may not be required in long run or make system more resource intensive or just cluttered. If you have been in such a situation, Is it a good idea to start afresh or keep messing up old system and clean install should be last resort? I often find clean install a lot easier to fix but it does require some time to re install all the system back.
Thanks.

There shouldn't be a need to reinstall.
If you're not already familiar with all of pacman's bells and whistles now is a good time to learn. There are various switches that will list packages that are no longer needed (eg, installed as a dependency to a package that is now gone).
Not long ago I went though the full list of all packages installed to do some housecleaning. It took a little bit of effort, but I ended up learning more about what was on my system. I learned even more when I removed something that I guess I needed!

Codes for devices other than TVs with P265 remote?

Hi everyone,
I have the Verizon P265 remote. I would like to set it up to work with my stereo system to be able to adjust the volume but I noticed that only TV codes are included in the code list. Is it possible to use this remote control with devices other than TVs?
Thanks very much!

No.
Your best bet for a remote to do what you want is to try to find one of the Verizon 4-button remotes or buy a programmable remote. Verizon lists their 4-button remote on this site for $11.99:
https://teleproducts.verizon.com/fios/index.cfm/eh/DisplayProducts?LOBCode=C&PromoTCode=A0760&PromoS...
I don't know if they really have any they will sell you though, but I guess it can't hurt to try.
Many people think that Logitech Harmony remotes are very good, although I think they are pretty expensive.
Another option might be, if you don't want to buy a remote control, to reprogram the P265 to control the volume on the STB rather than on the TV. Then you could set the voume on your stereo system to a reasonable level and adjust the volume on the STB. The little instruction booklet that comes with the P265 describes how to do that.

Printing Envelopes Other Than #10 with HP LaserJet 4240 Envelope Feeder

I'm trying to use an HP LaserJet 4240 and an HP 75-sheet Envelope Feeder to print envelopes from FileMaker Pro. HP's specifications for the envelope feeder note that it accepts "various sizes of envelopes." However, we are unable to specify any size other than #10 envelopes in the print dialog box. #10 envelopes print just fine, but choosing a different envelope size (like C5) in Page Setup and attempting to print brings up an error message saying that only #10 envelopes can be printed and asking if the document should be scaled to fit that size envelope. If you agree and continue printing, the printer shows "Service Error" on its display.
The workaround I've used so far is to put text out to the very edge of the #10 margins in FileMaker and just load larger envelopes. This leaves too large a margin, however, and I'd really like to be able to print to the actual size of a C5 envelope.
I've tried specifying a letter sized sheet of paper and setting the paper feed to "Envelope Feeder" but the printer is smart enough to know that letter paper can't go through the feeder and asks to specify a different tray.
Has anyone succeeded in specifying a custom envelope size that will print via the envelope feeder? I don't want to have to manually feed envelopes into the printer as that's why we purchased the envelope feeder in the first place!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone can offer.

T400 Intel wireless -excellent connection- at least 75% slower than 4 year old systems' abg wireless

what gives? This is brand new and the throughput is horrible. I'd an earlier post about it constantly dropping and reconnecting, but that got no response either. What good is a 3 year warranty when they give us only each other to discuss the problems with? Big $$ No Value.
My wireless on this T400 is useless.

Seriously, that's a surprise. The contact # page says 24/7: Worldwide Support Center phone list
They should change that.
[edit] No, maybe they shouldn't. I just called them (it's Saturday, 1605 PDT) and they answered. Used the number up-thread. "Jack" in tech just said that some of their other laptops aren't 24/7. You _did_ call the ThinkPad number?
I'm confused...
In the meantime, what is your test config? Which wifi card, what router, etc. Maybe someone around here can duplicate your setup. What transfer rates are you seeing? What did you get with your "golden" machine?

Can I use a browser other than Safari with iMac?

I have to use some applications that do not support Safari. How can I use an alternate browser?

You may still be able to use Safari, all you need to is:
Safari > preferences > advanced > click on show develp menu in menu bar. Then when you get to one of those site, click the Developers Menu and choose Internet Explorer.
Chances are the content you have is designed for Internet Explorer, choose I.E. in the menu bar and you should be OK.

What is a text symbol, what does it do (other than mess with my doc)?

I am working with FM8 in Tech Comm Suite 1 on Windows XP.
Some of my docs have text symbols sprinkled liberally throughout the text. I know you can select the option not to view the text symbols, but they still show up in FM and PDFs and RoboHelp and play havoc with the spacing.
What are text symbols?
What purpose do they serve?
How can you make sure they aren't inserted when creating a doc?
Is there any way to get rid of them easily?
Thanks for the help that I know will soon be coming.
M

To clarify, text symbols are one of FrameMaker's visual guides that can be optionally displayed in a FrameMaker document window to indicate the location of something else. A text symbol appears as a special character, but never prints or appears in PDF. However, the represented object may indeed affect the way the published document appears. As explained in the FM 9 User Guide, there are text symbols for an end of paragraph, end of flow, tab, anchored frame, table anchor, marker, forced return, equation alignment point, nonbreaking space, discretionary hyphen, and suppress hyphenation. You turn text symbols on and off with the View > Text Symbols command. Doing so does not affect the content of your document; it just helps you locate where the represented objects occur.
Thus, the problem you are having is not text symbols per se, but the object represented by a text symbol. As others have commented, the tab character can produce the observed results. Viewing text symbols can help you locate the tab characters. While tab characters can be inserted automatically in an autonumber or, in a structured document, in a prefix or suffix, they can also be entered from the keyboard, by pasting, or by converting a document that contains them from another format. You can find tabs that are not automatic using Edit > Find/Change. Type \t as the text you want to find. If you wish you can do a global change to remove all the tabs in the document or change them all to spaces.

MacBook Pro late 2008 gets hotter than usual with 10.6.4?

Hi all
So my computer usually gets hot even just idling, and the fans start revving up from just watching a few SD vids in quicktime, but now after this update my computer gets even hotter.
Playing standard definition videos would just get to a little over 70˚C ish but now it's about 81˚C. I have to use SMC fan control and set the RPM to max (6k RPM) in order to bring temps back down to 69-70˚C. It seems with every update the temps go up, but this one is the most dramatic. I'm using the integrated graphics chip instead of the dedicated chip. I could only imagine how hot this thing would get if I were using that beast >.<
If I can't stop the temps from going up, I'm gonna have to sell this comp, as much as I'd hate to do... Living in Phoenix AZ, a machine in your lap that gets over 178˚F isn't exactly ideal :P
Does the macbook air get as hot as the MBP? I don't have any use for the dedicated GPU anymore.
I have a late 2008 MBP if it helps any.
Hope someone comes up with a solution

You don't have to underclock your MBP to achieve acceptable temps. Just move away from Arizona's hot summer climate or get an air conditioner for your workspace. Pay attention to the maximum ambient air temperature spec for the MBP (95°F), and minimize the use of it at air temps close to that, because 95° air doesn't absorb heat as efficiently as your MBP expects it to. Get the MBP off your lap, where it shouldn't be, so air can circulate freely across the bottom of its case. Keep it out of the sun at all times. Turn off BlueTooth and Wifi when you aren't using them. Disconnect peripherals you're not using. Quit apps you're not using. Check Activity Monitor to see whether you have any hidden processes using lots of CPU cycles and raising the machine's temperature unnecessarily. Never rest the MBP on any soft surface, particularly when it's playing videos, gaming, or doing any other processor-intensive task.
I have a late-2008 MBP like yours, and its CPU temperature very rarely exceeds 145°F, because I pay attention to the common-sense practices listed above.
