Having issues with Chrome/Firefox favorites restore with USMT 5

I've been having some problems getting Chrome bookmarks and Firefox to restore properly with USMT 5 during OSD. All other data settings and files are restoring properly but I can't seem to get Chrome / Firefox bookmarks to restore after OSD.
Does anyone have some tips on how to do this? I've already done quite a bit of searching but can't seem to find clear info on this.
Any helpful info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Out-of-the-box those settings are indeed not detected and restored. For a good XML example for catching these settings see:

Anyone having issues sharing a document on Numbers with Yosemite and iCloud drive? I am just getting a connecting to iCloud when I hit share by email but it never does, just keeps spinning

Anyone having issues sharing a document on Numbers with Yosemite and iCloud drive? I am just getting a connecting to iCloud when I hit share by email but it never does, just keeps spinning

Yes, I am having this problem too (although I was sharing via a "copy link" command, not via email). My workaround fix was to log into iCloud.com via Safari and get the share link there.

IPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?

I tried to update to IOS 4.3.4 today but now my iPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?
(With the old discussion groups it was easy to see where other people had similar problems, these new groups seems clunky in comparison)

OK, fixed it by using SHIFT+RESTORE to load the iPad1,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore.ipsw file in directly from the
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
folder.
No idea why the upgrade to 4.3.3 failed in the first place and no idea why iTunes was not clever enough to just do it by itself when it detected that there was a problem in the first place.

Will the antispyware that downloaded with the Firefox upgrade interfere with my CA security suite? I've been told not to intstall multiple security programs.

Alternatively, though we're not sure how it got on your system, if you don't want it installed you should be able to remove it via Add/Remove programs in your Windows XP Control Panel.
From the Microsoft documentation for XP, located here...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307895
How to remove an installed program
To remove a program that is installed on your computer, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add or Remove Programs.
2. In the Currently installed programs box, click the program that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
3. If you are prompted to confirm the removal of the program, click Yes.
Some additional observations...
You seem to be running Firefox 3.0, for which security support ended in March of 2010. You may wish to update your Firefox to the newer Firefox 3.6 in order to continue to receive security updates. I believe simply pressing Help in the menu bar of Firefox, and then "Check for Updates" will accomplish this.
Lastly, your Adobe Flash player for Firefox is out of date, and contains a security vulnerability. It can be updated by following the below link and clicking Agree And Install Now and then running the downloaded file.

MacBook Pro can't use Silverlight with Chrome, Firefox, or Safari

It's a relatively recent issue, within the last month or two, but I can't stream any videos on Netflix. Initially it was just an issue with Firefox, but now I can't use it at all with Chrome or Safari no matter how many times I install or uninstall the Silverlight plugin. My Macbook Pro will act like it's going to load the movie (black screen with blue dots in a circle) but then times out saying there's an error. I always get error code 2014 on the Netflix screen that says the issue is likely with Silverlight. I am able to successfully stream on my imac.
I've tried everything I can think of (I'm not very tech savvy so I'm SURE I've missed something). I've gone through my application and internet plug-in folders and deleted everything having to do with Silverlight. I've also emptied the trash before trying to redownload it. I've also tried deleting cached information and cookies from all of my browsers and messing with the preferences trying to make it possible to use.
I would really appreciate any help you can give.

I'm wondering whether you have any background software running that might be causing the problem, Sebastien?
Fax software, anything that adds its own devices to the menubar, etc, perhaps? "Content Barrier" and "Speedtools" are pieces of software that I have seen linked to this issue. Virus blockers generally might be worth considering as possible causes.
Can you think of anything that you have installed that might have created third party system extensions ("kexts") that could be interefering with the regular processes?
A clean OS install might really be the best solution, though it is time consuming of course.

[Solved] Having issues loading chrome/chromium/firefox

Hello all
I am new to arch, just installed last week. I installed KDE and have been using konqueror, but wish to use a chrome/firefox derivative. I've installed chrome, chromium. and firefox, but none will start up. When I start the application via the gui it shows up in the task bar, however it does not load, and exits after about 20 seconds.
I apologize for being a noob, I searched this problem on the wiki, google, and forums, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!

Not doing -Syu leaves you with a broken system.
Using --force on a general -Syu also leaves you with a broken system.
'The mtab conflict' and other such issues are almost always discussed here on the forums, simply running your whole -Syu with --force isn't the best way of dealing with them.

10.7.2 issues with Chrome/Firefox

After updating to 10.7.2, I've found Google Chrome and Firefox to be unreliable, crashing often! I'm up to date on both browsers, and can only deduce that the 10.7.2 update may be causing a conflict somewhere....Anyone else having this issue?

I was able to fix this problem by disable Sophos AV live scanning. I think the problem is Sophos hanging up chrome's cacheing of files.

I'm having issues backing up a new Mac with time machine and time capsule.

I've been trying to backup an extra macbook to the time capsule via time machine but the two sparsebundles (for two other Mac's) were taking up too much room. I deleted a heap of old backups from one of the sparsebundles to create enough room. The time capsule was still showing up as nearly full so I tried the method Pondini (God rest his soul) describes to "compact" the sparsebundle. That didn't work (I got this message in terminal):
hdiutil: compact failed - Function not implemented
I've had many other issues which required hard resetting the time capsule twice. And since then my wife's Macbook is having trouble backing up. I'm beginning to think I should maybe get an external HD and move all existing backups from the time capsule to the external HD. Do a factory reset on the time capsule and start from scratch. I guess my question is, does this sound like the best solution and if I move all the old backups to an external HD, will they be accessible.

Yes, the old backups if they are working now will also be able to work from archive on USB plugged into the TC or into the computer directly.
Then do an erase of the TC and start over.
TM is becoming less reliable with each new OS.. and so far Yosemite is proving the worst by a big margin.
Strongly recommend that it is time to use Carbon Copy Cloner or some other software.
I use both TM to a TC.. and CCC to local usb hard disk..

How to force the flash to reduce in size, working fine in explorer, not so much with chrome, firefox

Hello, I am new to this forum so please excuse any mistakes I may make.
64bit Windows 7
Chrome 14
Firefox 5
Explorer 9
Flash Version: WIN 10,3,181,36
So on the website I am developing http://justram.ca/ the problem I face is that the flash is quite large in chrome and firefox and is appropriate in explorer. In the coding in dreamweaver I have specified that the hight should be 250 pixels. So I am not sure why it is looking more like 400 pixels in firefox and chrome. I have cleared the cache and browsing data many times thinking it might be a browser error. I also tried windows xp and the problem persists.
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tanay Parikh

Not sure if this is the right forum for your question. There is a Flash Player question.
But since you're here and have posted I will firstly ask, is the browser viewing size set to 100% in all of your browsers? They should display about the same if they are the latest modern browsers unless you have accidentally hit "Ctrl+" with the keyboard combination.

Having trouble browsing the internet at home with my MacBook

I have been having issues browsing the web from home with my MacBook. When I try to go to pretty much any web site (Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, etc) the page starts loading and makes minimal progress before it stalls and I'm staring at a blank white browser window. The page will eventually load after about 3-4 minutes but only partially.
I have a Belkin N+ router (model F5D8235-4 v2) and a fiber optic internet service. My sister and my brother-in-law are able to access any and all sites quickly and completely. She has a MacBook Pro and he has a Dell Inspiron (so it doesn't seem to be a Mac vs Windows issue). We have tried changing the router password type from WEP to WPA. I've tried to hardwire into my router with no success. I have cleared my entire cache, history, and cookies - still no change. I have also not had any success with using a different browser.
I have no issues when I'm using my Mac at work (on a T1 line with an Ethernet cable) or at my mother's house (Netgear ADSL2+ wireless router). I'm curious as to what I can do to fix this. My Mac friends at work and my systems analyst/programmer dad are all as confused as I am. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

The Learning Center uses Flash. My guess is that you probably installed the PowerPC Flash plugin and replaced the Universal plugin that ships with the Intel-based Macs.
To restore the Universal version of the plugin, go to http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=2dda3d81 and download the preview release.

Location Services no longer work for Chrome & Firefox & Twitter

I'm a developer working on a few geolocation websites. Up until a few days ago, both Chrome & Firefox were able to access Core Location services.
Now when I go to System Preferences -> Secuirty & Privacy -> Location Services, the only 2 apps I see listed are Evernote & Safari. I no longer see Chrome, Firefox, or Twitter.
Is there any way to add these applications? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
-Hitesh

Nevermind, folks. The issue was with chrome/firefox & not core location as the browser was never using it.
I cleared my cache & history & now both browsers are finding me correctly using google's html5 geolocation library.
It wasn't a core location issue to begin with. Thanks anyway!

Having issues with all net browsers eg. chrome, safari

Having issues with all my net browers eg. Chrome, Safari and FIrefox have been invaded by what appears to be a virus. It creates pop ups on random words on unrelated sites by colouring them blue or green and underlining them twice. It seems to be tagged Dropdown Coupons or something ......I am inundated with pics of Dr Oz and how to remove fat ........it is slowly taking over everything.
Anyone else had this bug....any idea how to get rid of it........have cleaned cookies. etc.......have tried uninstalling browsers and reinstalling to no avail........any help or advice would be great. I have no antivirus on my mac as have never needed any before
cheers in advance
Jo

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Still having issues with animate composition showing in chrome

I created a wonderful childrens activity page using animate. For some reason everything shows up in the local preview, but once put onto a live host for public consumption, the animate portion of the paqe does not show up in Chrome. It takes a few seconds in Firefox, IE, and Safari due to 4 Audio files but the composition is displayed once they are done loading. It won't show period in Chrome.
When I first starting having the issue I noticed two 404 errors related to min.map files for jquery and edge. I had a friend tell me that it had something to do with Chrome's unwillingness to work with local jquery hosted libraries. I changed the publish settings so that the runtime files would refer to CDNs. Even with this I'm still having issues.
the 404 still exists for the edge file, but the jquery file is returning a 304 error now. What is the deal with this and why isn't my work being displayed in Chrome? Is this a bug? Or is there some kind of workaround for Chrome's inconcsistancy with this? I really need this page viewable yesterday, so any and all assistance with this will be supererbly appreciated.
The page in referenece is http://steamcurriculum.com/whatsmissing/index.html and as you will see, only Chrome does not display the edge composition.

Have you removed the page as i get redirected to http://steamcurriculum.blogspot.in/p/home.html/whatsmissing/index.html
I do not see any edge realted content even in the source of this page

I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes so I want to restore it. Dont want to lose my files from my iPad.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).
Thanks,
