Helpful sites

Do you guys have any suggestions for helpful sites to visit to get more information about anything to do with Macs. Like backing up, troubleshooting, learning more in depth explanations, etc... Thanks in advance.

Do you mean another one besides this one? I can say with great confidence that you won’t find any other site that’s better than this one for everything you described.
Regards,

Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?

I have been trying to uninstall several extensions for firefox. Nothing currently on the help site has resolved it.

I have been trying to uninstall several extensions for firefox. I'm told by the Add-Ons window that these extensions will be uninstalled when I restart firefox, but they come back every time I restart. I've tried clearing the extensions cache from my firefox profile and it does not work. Following the steps in all of the active questions regarding this issue among other users have yielded no results. Nothing currently on the help site (which I've combed through for the last three hours) has helped.
Most of the extensions I'm now trying to uninstall are old ones that stopped functioning/being compatible with one of the more recent updates of firefox. The rest are toolbars I've never used because they're unsightly and clutter up my screen
* What I wound up doing was installing the newest of the newest versions of firefox (it's at 5.0 or something now, I think). That just made all the plugins, add-ons, and extensions I wanted to get rid of obsolete and it auto-removed them on its own.

Do you have a wireless keyboard? I am wondering if you are getting an erronious 'F1' being sent. If yes to the wireless keyboard, then maybe a driver issue. Or maybe faulty hardware. Do you have another keyboard you could swap out?

I submitted a question on the help site and it hasn't shown up in my Dashboard

I was signed in , asked a question on the help site a couple days ago and the question still hasn't shown up in my Dashboard. Please tell me how to get it there and more importantly, how to avoid this in the future.

Try:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Are you saying that it is not listed here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Is the computer signed into the same iTunes account that purchased the song?
Is it listd in your Purchases History? iTunes>Store>View Accountc>login>Purchase History?

Importing video - why does this help site look different

http://www.davidglover.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/01-Import.png
The link above shows a help site screen shot allowing 1080i import.
When I run iMovie 09 and connect my camera I only see import at 'Full Resolution' without the added 1920x1080i.
Whyis this??

That screen grab is what I see with iMovie '08 and not what I see with iMovie '09

Teachers sharing one dot mac with iWeb need help- sites are being lost

Sorry to be lengthy- Here's the question and issue first and then the background.
Question/Issue: Anyone know a way we can have multiple people (eventually 20 or so) with their own computers creating sites in iWeb and publishing them to a common dot mac account without wiping each other out?
Background:I am a teacher and at our school we have a single dot mac account. A few of us have been using iWeb (2 on iWeb 08 and 1 on iWeb 06) and posting our sites to dot mac with no problems. The iWeb 06 sites went to a folder under Web> Sites>iWeb in our dot-mac's iDisk; the iWeb 08 sites were directly under the Web>Sites folder. When sites were uploaded from different computers there was no problem (they all had unique names) and it worked great until this week.Even the 2 users both on iWeb 08 could send their sites to the iDisk and nothing would be deleted, just more site folders were added.
We are now all on iWeb 08 and so nothing goes into the folder on the dot-mac's iDisk under iWeb, they all go as unique sites- no problem I thought.
Our problem is now that when any one of us update our sites, it wipes out everyone else's site (since their site isn't on our computer). It didn't used to be that way 2 weeks ago !!! Could this be something new with the migration to mobile me (if it is, this really ***** for us)
I know a solution is to publish the sites to folders and then drag to the dot mac in sub-folders under Web>Sites instead of publish and each of us can have our own folder, but its a pain and not all of the teachers will be able to do this.
I think there is a feature in iWeb06 called personal domains, but I think we can only have 2, so not sure if this will help.
Does anyone know a way to set the defaults in the domain.sites2 file or in iWeb so it will use a sub-folder when loading up to dot mac? This way each of us can have our settings different and it will load for us automatically on the iDisk.
Does anyone know why this used to work and now it doesn't?
Any other ideas- Help Please

From my own experience.
When you publish to dotMac the index.html file in the root redirects to the top Site in the list of the iWeb domain file.
I use ca. 40 Sites in some 30 domain files. And most are customized after publishing. Plus a lot more irregular stuff.
iWeb remembers what Site in which domain was published last.
When I choose a different domain file, iWeb will create a new index.html file to redirect to the "new" Site.
As far as I could determine, none of the either published Sites are deleted. If iWeb did delete previous published Sites I would not change domain files.
In your case the following will happen. Every student publishes his/her Site(s). The last one published will be the default Site.
As long as no-one changes his/her Sitename or add a new Site at the top of the list, the default Site last published will be that.
Make sure everybody's Sitename is unique.
I use a custom index.html file in the root. So I have to pay attention that when I publish a new site, the custom index.html page is overwritten. I keep a copy of that index.html file in the root. I can replace the index.html file in case of emergency.
Does anyone know a way to set the defaults in the domain.sites2 file or in iWeb so it will use a sub-folder when loading up to dot mac? This way each of us can have our settings different and it will load for us automatically on the iDisk.
Don't look for hidden settings. If it was possible, it would be visible in the preferences. Accept the way iWeb/dotMac does its job. It wasn't designed to be used by multiple users with multiple computers and only one account. That should give you a hint.
All other problems are purely organizational. Personally I wouldn't trust multiple persons on one account. Give them their own account. If they mess up things they are responsible. Or find another solution.

Your help site has a problem; it crashed while I was using it and now doesn't recognize my registration.

The above is problem # 2. It finally recognized my previous registration and allowed me to proceed.
My primary question regards failure of one web page to load on this computer. I have used it ever since I had this computer. I was reading King World News when they warned they had been attacked and advised clearing recent history caches. Following this, this one web site has been closed to me on this computer. It is open on other computers on my same home network, but not on this one. The page I am trying to load is https://vitalityforlife.com/melaleuca/guests/login.asp. After typing the password, this is what I get: https://dev.vitalityforlife.com/melaleuca/guests/login.asp and the message "problem loading page." I don't know why it puts up the letters "dev" in front of the web site. I have Kasprsky antivirus program, and it has found no viruses. All of the other web pages load normally with my password. How can I fix this? What is the problem?
Up until now, I have enjoyed the experience of using Firefox. The problem might be on the computer after erasing history. I tried to load the page with Microsoft Explorer and got the same result.
Once again, the program loads for me normally on my other computers.
Thanks for your help.
Carl Matlock

By the way, when I hit the first URL in your post, I get a warning that the certificate is only valid for '''www.'''vitalityforlife'''.'''com. If I add www into the URL, it loads normally.
https://www.vitalityforlife.com/melaleuca/guests/login.asp
Naturally I can't actually log in, but does that make any difference for you?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies --before trying to log in. View a page on the site, and then use either of these:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

What's going on over at Video download helper site, postings don't show up?

I'm a member at the video download helper forum http://forum.downloadhelper.net/ since more than a year. I made a posting today. It vanished from the forum after a while. (Or rather, it worked, but didn't show up in the forum, as I found out later.) I made another posting, and made a direct bookmark for that one. That bookmark link worked. It turns out that the forum page says latest posting on the website was 7th of July, this year. That's patently wrong. Then I made an answering post to my second post, to tell that the site says no postings, and that a direct link still works. Something may be wrong with the forum software? That posting was immediately placed under moderation. (The bug I have is that vdlh 499 does not work with youtube today, and it did yesterday. Firefox 14.01, Win XP Prof.)
I realize it may be a little bit early to ask here, but their behavior seems to me as an outsider to be a little bit strange. No answers, no reaction, and then suddenly I'm under moderation.
Do you guys know anything about the situation? Do you know those guys enough to contact them in any practical way?
thank you very much/Rolf

Follow-up-
I just tested and can confirm that VDH 4.99 is not working on Youtube (saves 0 byte file). I have seen other posts in this forum regarding that. Have never had a problem with VDH in the past.
On the VDH add-on page, see the section "September 14th 2012 YouTube issue" - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/?src=ss

RoboHelp help site trouble.

I think we've talked about this before, but I'd like to
revisit the issue.
When you click "Help > Contents and Index" in RH, a new
window displays Adobe's Web-based version of help for RH. The home
page has a TOC and topic frame.
Links to topics from the TOC work OK, breadcrumbs work,
intertopic links are good, and so on.
However, the two navigation options at the top -- "Browse"
and "Search" -- garble the display of information from Adobe's RH 7
support pages.
Browsing to RoboHelp in the dropdown list encounters a script
error, which you can dismiss. The "RoboHelp 7 resources" page
appears in a condensed window that has no scroll bars, no min/max
control and no window navigation. Links to Live Docs take you back
to the appropriate section of the Help package you just came from.
Links to PDF documents from the Resources page run into a security
block, apparently at Adobe's end.
Search results appear in a new window, "LiveDocs Search
Results," with the same faults as the Browse window. Links from
here open the appropriate topic in a new window without the TOC.
Clicking "Home" in breadcrumbs at the top takes you to a TOC book
home page, but there's no TOC. At least you can browse the book's
breadcrumbs, but you can't go anywhere else until you return to the
RH Help menu.
Last I heard, the recommendation was to check the "Use
Offline Help" option in RH Tools > Options > General.
I tried browsing to another Adobe product support site. That
one was OK.
So we know Adobe can make this work. Why not for RH?

My Firefox screen at the top does not look like what you show at your help site, so I can't customize or learn how to do things

I am running Windows 7 Professional and am not adept at using the Windows platform. Firefox on my computer does not look the way it is shown at specific "Help" topic pages, so I can't get the help needed. Three examples: 1. How to click on a link so it opens in a new tab; 2. How to customize the options; 3. How to get rid of the "Ask" web site window.

On Windows, you can switch between a classic menu bar and a compact menu opened with an orange button with the word Firefox.
You can switch between these using one of these methods:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar and turn Menu Bar on or off
* View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
* orange Firefox button > Options triangle > Menu Bar
Does that help?
To get to the tab preferences, you can do this:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
To remove the Ask toolbar, you can go here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
You might still have to do a little cleanup after removing an extension, if it changed your home page, new tab page, search provider, etc. Please describe any remaining problems in more detail.
Hope this helps.

Hello - I built a quick shell for a site in Dreamweaver. Here
is the temp link online so you can see what I will be asking about:
http://www.shootingblanks.net/sausagefest/index.html
The three "segements" of the site (left, right, and middle)
should be all together - not with the light-blue background gap
in-between. The gap is only between the middle and right segments
on IE, and it is between all three segments on Firefox, for some
reason...
Here is a link to download all the site files (only 230kb
total) so you can see "behind the scenes" what I did, and maybe
help me troubleshoot the problem:

I've tried all the advice on the Firefox Help site, but I still can't download anything. Yesterday, I was able to download and open PDF files fine. Today... no.

While I was working on my Mac last night, I got a message that I needed to download an Adobe (I think an Acrobat X Pro) update. I did. That seems to be the time when I started having problems. Now I can't use the uninstaller for the program. I think that may be the problem, but my ability to fix it stops here.
I'm usually more discerning about updates, etc, but I was working on a project and the flashing updater was bothering me, so I hit yes, not really looking at the app I was updating. Ugh. My mistake.

Hi hobanny,
Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There is a lot of useful information in there. It actually lists two different plugins to try for opening PDF files. I'd try both of them just to be safe.
Hopefully this helps!
