How can I permanently change the date format from the American format to the UK's without having to constantly change it manually every time I start a new spreadsheet?

This is my first mac so I'm still getting my bearings with it. I've only used Windows programmes before. I can't understand why it's so hard to change the date format of the cells in Numbers to keep it showing the UK format. The system preferences of the mac show that it's in the correct region and has the correct date but this doesn't seem to transfer into the Numbers program. I was very impressed with the mac until I discovered this. If anyone knows how I can get the date to stay in the correct format without having to go through the process of altering it in the cell inspector everytime then I would be very grateful.

Numbers & most apps, especially those from Apple, use the date format you have set in System Preferences > Language & Text > Region. You can then choose UK from the Region drop-down list. Mine says Custom because I've defined things further as in the second screenshot.

How can I disable Chat in v8.0? Or, at the least, say I'm offline so that some bimbo won't be wanting to talk to me every time I start FF?

How can I disable Messenger Chat in v8.0? Or, at the least, say I'm offline so that some bimbo won't be wanting to talk to me every time I start Yahoo mail?
Sorry, I somehow mis-posted this under Mail Filters the first time.

I'm in Yahoo Mail v8.0. Options > Messenger Options offers four sub-menus: General, Appearance, Privacy, and Other. None of them offer an option to turn it off...which is ''exactly'' what I would love to be able to do!
If I choose Options > Mail Options, I can likewise find nothing under it to disable Messenger. Earlier I could simply choose Offline and not be bothered by it. These days, though, FF changes versions faster than I change underwear. If I'm just missing it in either option menu, I'll surely apologize.
Any other thoughts?

How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

I just purchased a book to read on the Kindle app on my iPad.
I would like to copy a paragraph of text to email to someone or to possibly quote in a blog post.
How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

I'm very late to the conversation but thought I'd chime in since I've just been dealing with this myself. One way to copy from Kindle books is to make sure that you have your settings to backup highlights etc. online, then highlight the text in the Kindle app, go to your Kindle webpage (https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights) and copy the text from there.
Remember, to be able to do this you have to set the app to backup highlights etc. I think this is set individually for each book. On my iPad the default is to backup.

I don't think that you can. Yahoo's basic email features do not include mail forwarding.

How do i tranfer all my data across from my old macbook to the new macbook pro (It doesn't have Firewire port), How do i tranfer all my data across from my old macbook to the new macbook pro (It doesn't have Firewire port)

I have recently just bought a macbook pro and it doesn't have a firewire port. So how can i transfer all my music, photos, docs and videos across. Any help ???

My new-ish MBP has a Firewire port, but it's not the old-style one you might be familiar with. Look at the ports for the Firewire symbol (looks like a Y). You will need an adapter to connect an old-style Firewire cable to it. (Yeah, I know there are names for them and "old-style" isn't one of them, but they slip my mind at the moment.)
Alternately, since you should be backing up anyway, do a full backup from the old machine and then import from the backup on the new one. See my Mac Backup Guide* ASAP if you aren't currently backing up!

How can i import bookmars history cookies etc. from my Opera brower to the newest version of Mozilla Firefox?

I was useing Opera - got dull with it, now i want to use Mozilla Firefox, but i cannot import anything from my old browser. While i was installing the new browser it asked me if i want to import any bookmarks history passwords etc. from any other browsers and the only option was Microsoft Internet Explorer, there was no option where i could choose Opera.....

If Firefox doesn't offer to import the Opera bookmarks then export the bookmarks in Opera to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.

How can I move files or complete websites from Windows 7 to Nexus 7 for Firefox, without using sync?

I'm writing documentation telling end users how to move large websites (up to 4GB, including PDFs but not sound or video) from Windows 7 to Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.2) to be used offline there -- preferably moving the site by a wired connection, instead of using Firefox sync. I have the latest Adobe plug-in, and the latest Java from Oracle, on the Nexus 7 (it would be nice if it were not necessary to download these after downloading the latest Firefox for the Nexus, but I suspect that's not Mozilla's fault).
So I saved a small test PDF file on the Nexus 7 (to see what download folder it got put into -- it showed up in sdcard/Download/). However, when I move a small PDF (that was NOT created on Nexus 7) from Windows to Nexus 7 (through the USB wire) to the same folder, the file does show up there as expected (as seen by ES File Explorer), but is invisible to Firefox.
Also there are several files left over in that folder from a previous installation of Firefox on the Nexus 7 (I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, for a blank-slate test). I would also like to make these files visible in the new installation of Firefox, in order to delete them.
How can I instruct the end user to change permissions or whatever on the Nexus 7, or otherwise cause certain PDF or HTML files in the sdcard/Download/ folder to also be visible to Firefox?

The best way to do things is to use sync. If you wish do use other methods it would become complicated.

The first time I try to load video on BBC website, firefox crashes. When I restart it, the video loads. This happens EVERY TIME I start a new internet session. WHY?

I am using a mac, and every time I turn it on, load the BBC website on firefox and then try to load a video there, firefox crashes. I select restart from the two options provided, and when it reloads the BBC page, I can watch that video and any other on the site without problems. Then, if I shut the mac down and turn it on again, the problem once again occurs. Is this just a bug in firefox?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will lose all personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Why does the cursor skip a line every time I start a new contact?

I just got my first iPhone, and I love many things about it, but I'm pretty frustrated about other things. One frustrating thing is that if I go to save a number as a contact, it brings up the new contact page, and EVERY time I click on the first name line, it goes there and immediately jumps to line 2. Same if I click on line 3, it skips to line 4. Or I'll type a letter or two and it skips one or several lines. Anybody else have this issue? Anybody know any fixes? Please help. This will make me lose my cool if I can't get this glitch fixed.

Hi drewskiiiiiiiii,
If you are having issues with your iPhone's Contacts application acting oddly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
