How do I determine what Mac OSX I have?
I downloaded the new firefox....it says my system will not support it BUT I cannot get the old firefox back and have lost the ability to use my old firefox.
I do not know how to determine what Mac OSX I have.....
I really want my old firefox back with all my bookmarks, tabs, etc.
Please help.
Laura
Another option to consider is to install the last Firefox 10.0.x ESR version as that version is more recent than the Firefox 16.0.2 version.

How can I determine what software version I have in my Apple TV module?
My Apple TV usually hangs up when I am watching a movie on Netflix whether its one foot from my internet hub or in the next room. When I stream using an HDMI cable connected directly to my computer (which is hardwired to the hub) there is no problem. Could it be an outdated software version in the Apple TV module? How does one tell what software version he has and then how do I update it if required?
Any help is appreciated.settings-->general--->about

How do I determine what connection type I have?
After almost a year of spotty service and lots of time spent on the phone with tech support, an AT&T tech came to our house and set up our dsl modem in a bedroom on the same side of the house where the lines feed in from the street. That modem hooks into the phone jack in the wall, and the desktop is plugged into a power outlet (using an adapter the technician gave us) on the other side of the house. He said that our signal now runs on the electrical wiring rather than on the phone line. We can use the adapter to plug the desktop or other corded device into any electrical outlet in the house now, and our service is perfect. Super fast and never out.
When we attempted to hook up the WRT54GS, we hooked it into the adapter where the desktop lives, then connected the desktop to the router. All the right lights were on, the connection icon in the bottom taskbar showed a strong signal, but we still get a windows message saying the signal can't be connected. I'm thinking that our unusual internet signal is something other than the default setting on the router and that is what's causing our problem.
Has anyone experienced and solved similar?
Thanks so much. . .What you have is In-House Broadband over PowerLines (BPL). This is a new technology that I think is exremely cool. It runs at 500 kilobits to 3 megabits. im guessing that you live in one of the cities that they are trying it out. As far as setting up your router to that technology I have no idea.This link will take you to a router that is specifically designed for BPL http://www.niroda.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=159&Itemid=153. I hope that this was a little bit helpful.

mac shut down due to problem; I rebooted fine. how do I determine what the problem was?
When shut down and rebooted, the Mac OS X does background maintenance on the system. That can solve minor issues.
Beyond this, it is a good idea to run Disk Repair yourself just to make sure.
Reboot with the option key held down. On the screen that comes up select the Recovery disk icon and Continue.
On the next screen Clcik Disk Utility and Continue.
In DU, in the list on the left select the drive to be repaired - click the item that is indented to the right, not an an item whose name starts on the far left.
Click First Aid, then Repair Disk.
After that is done, quit DU and restart as usual. -

I can't shut down my MacBook Pro. Each time I try, I get the following message: "The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress." How can I determine what is running?
Yea,
I bought an original CRT iMac two day's before they were launched, which got the reseller into trouble, and had it replaced by APPLE.
This was a great learning process for me dealing with the glitches. :-)
I LOVE MAC. Now own 4 and on my 10th. in 15 years + 7 bought for family.

How can i determine what the most recent os my iMac will run?
Serial Number QP6*****VUW
Processor 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Currently running Version 10.5.8
<Edited by Host>You CAN run 10.7, but I don't advise it, buy the 10.6.3 upgrade disk from the Apple Store online and then backup files off the machine and upgrade to 10.6.3., then Software Update to 10.6.8 would be the BEST option for your older hardware and it will run most all of your 10.5 software and be faster than 10.5 or 10.7.
If you go to 10.7 it won't run nearly any of your 10.5 software and you will have to buy all new ones for a machine that's getting a little bit dated, near it's end of life stage. 10.7 will slow your machine down, especially with low RAM.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
At your machines stage, the hard drive is getting old, the vents are clogged up with dust and it's going to cost a bit to get the drive etc upgraded. You can if you wish, but 10.7 really needs more RAM (4GB) and a faster hard drive.
But your still subjected to the video card going out etc.
IMO upgrade to 10.6.8 and stay there until the wheels fall off, then buy a new 10.8 machine being released after this summer or 10.9 machine.

I have an iMac (Mid 2007) Intel with Mac OS Lion 10.7.4 For some reason I am unable to shut down my computer. The dialogue box says The Finder can’t quit because some operations are still in progress. How do I determine what operations are still running? I have no clue? Obviously not a sophisticated user.
Thank You! Solved my problem. Have a great week.

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?

How Do I Determine What WUDFHost.exe is Doing and What It's Associated With?
Since around the time of the installation of Win 8.1 Update 1 I've had a couple of new WUDFHost.exe processes that run all the time. Today I saw one of them accessing data on a backup volume, which I assume was some kind of maintenance
activity - but I'm not sure.
My question is this:
How can I determine what these processes are doing, why they're here, and what they're associated with (i.e., what feature or device has caused them to be running). I don't suspect them of causing a specific problem - my system's running fine
- but I want to know why they're running.
Process Explorer shows them to have been started by these two command lines:
"C:\Windows\System32\WUDFHost.exe" -HostGUID:{193a1820-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-be817523f6aa} -IoEventPortName:HostProcess-ae18c507-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ce7a84b73fb2 -SystemEventPortName:HostProcess-76f2d2b0-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-25de41b0af65 -IoCancelEventPortName:HostProcess-52988628-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-54018fc05bec

As you can see, their function isn't obvious from what's showing.
What tools can I used to delve further into what these are and why they're here?
Thanks for any help or wisdom you can offer.

How can I determine what is the minimum SCN number I need to restore up to.
Say if I have a full database backup, I know I have file inconsistency, but I want to know what is the minimum time or SCN number a need to roll forward to in order to be able to open the database?
For example: I do a database restore.
restore database ;
RMAN> sql 'alter database open read only';
sql statement: alter database open read only
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

ORA-16004: backup database requires recovery
ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/oradata/p1/system01.dbf'
I need need to apply archive log files. All references I find for ORA-00194 state the solution is to "apply more logs until the file is consistent " But "HOW MANY LOGS", or more apporaite up to what time or SCN? How does one determine what TIME or SCN is required to get all file consistent?
I thought this query might provide the answer, but it doesn't
select max(checkpoint_change#)

I've discover I need to apply archive logs until this query reports all datafiles as FUZZY=NO , but this only works by guessing at some time periord to roll forward to, then checking the FUZZY column, and try again. Is there a way to know, I have to roll forward to a specific SNC in order for all my datafiles to be consistent?
select file#
, status
, checkpoint_change#
, checkpoint_time
, FUZZY
, RECOVER
,LAST_DEALLOC_SCN
from v$datafile_header
order by checkpoint_time
Thanks,
JasonThe minimum point in time is the time when the last backup piece for datafiles in that backup was completed.
Your alert.log should show the redo log sequence number at that time.
You can query V$ARCHIVED_LOG and get the FIRST_CHANGE# of the first archivedlog generated after that backup piece completed.
A
LIST BACKUP;in RMAN should also show you the SCNs at the time of the backups.
You can also query SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP -- eg
select timestamp_to_scn(to_timestamp('15-MAR-09 09:24:01','DD-MON-RR HH24:MI:SS')) from dual;will return an approximation of the SCN.

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
