How to make ffox default Mac brwsr. Currently can only make Safari default; per ffox help.
Just want to make ffox default; ff help only discusses making Safari default browser. Your cookbook questions are not very applicable to this simple problem
If doing it from within Firefox (see [[How to make Firefox the default browser]] ), then you can do it through Safari. See [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]

Which Mac's (current) can support two independant monitors?
I am trying to figure out which Mac's (current) can support two independent monitors? I am assuming that a MacBook Pro can only have one with its screen being open. This would make it handle two, but not independent. In clamshell mode would it be able to have two? I want to know if I have two identical monitors which Mac can display on both to have the screens show desktop 1 and desktop 2. Thanks
Depending on what Macbook Pro you have, you can have at least 1 external monitor, and with the newer ones you can have up to 2 external montiors.
The most recent models need a miniDisplay port adaptor for your generic monitor. You can get miniDisplay port to VGA, DVI, HDMI adaptors from Apple, or some 3rd parties, such a MonoPrice.com and other vendors.
Have you ever seen this dongle? Is it someting apple sells? Thanks

I own a mini-DisplayPort to DVI/HDMI adaptor from MonoPrice.com. I also own a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adaptor.
Apple sells them as well
To be clear, the Mac Thunderbolt ports accept a mini-DisplayPort adaptor.
You can use 2 Apple Thunderbolt 27" monitors on a recent Macbook Pro using a Thunderbolt cable to the first one, and then using another cable from the 1st Thunderbolt monitor to the 2nd Thunderbolt monitor.
I am unsure about whether you can do the 2 monitor trick with non-Apple monitors, or if you can mix and match a Thunderbolt display with a non-Apple monitor.
Old Macbook Pros may have had a DVI connector, or a mini graphic connector, depending on how old your Macbook Pro is. -
I've just recently bought a white iphone formy daughter and am trying to put my sim into her old one but can only make emergency calls. How do I get round this? Not tech savvy at all as you can probably gather. Thanks
Did you connect your iPhone to the computer and sync it with iTunes? You will need the internet as well as Apple will unlock your iPhone over the internet via iTunes. Let us know if this helps.

I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4:
- I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet I need to shut down and restart CS6.
- Camera RAW: if I change any setting in Camera RAW (except exposure), having first optimized the exposure, the exposure will automatically return to zero. Sometimes when I've set exposure and cropped the picture in Camera RAW Plug-In, the effects are lost just by opening the picture in CS6.
- Sometimes if I crop a picture in Camera RAW, it may be impossible to open it again from Bridge!
- I cannot do lens corrections in Camera RAW, at all. The Camera RAW comment is that "it cannot load the correct lens type". Why?Are you writing that when you select a large number of images in the bridge like a hundred thumbnails when you then use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Contact Sheet II that Photoshop only produces a single contact sheet for the first few thumbnails and fails to produce additional contact sheets for the other selected thumbnails? Photoshop contact sheet II script should create as many contact sheet as needed for the numbers of thumbnails selected. Perhaps the script is hung or you have exhausted your machine resources.
ACR Crop tool does not crop the RAW file it records crop settings to be used during the conversion process. Camera RAW DATA is not altered. The only changes made to RAW Files is ACR Metadata may be added. Anything you do in ACR can be un-done in ACR. If you can not open a RAW File in ACR the Files is either corrupt or from a new camera ACR does not support yet. ACR should not corrupt RAW files.
If you do not have a lens profile for ACR I think you should still be able to do lens correction manually in ACR.
Some of what you write I don't follow could you post some screen captures of your problems often a picture helps. -
I just bought a used Macbook Pro. How do I make the changes to make it personal. Example the iTunes comes up as the old user and I have to have his password to make changes on the laptop. Can you make any suggestions?
Also I cant make a right click on the pad. Is that normal?Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.
Most commonly used backup methods
Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive. -

How to add fingerprint to 5s? I can`t press add a fingerpint please HELP ios 8,0,2
How to add fingerprint to 5s? I can`t press add a fingerpint please HELP ios 8,0,2
Hi, SillDeividas.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend taking a look at for this issue.
Get help with Touch ID
Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Home button or the surrounding ring. If it does, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on. Also make sure that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints.
Try enrolling a different finger.
If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your device to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for help.
* Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.

I have an old Mac G4 that can only be upgraded to 10.4.11. I use Itunes 7 and I have a Classic Ipod that suddenly says it has been corrupted. If I upgrade the software to 2.3 on the Ipod will i be able to access it from the G4 or will I then have to upgrade the itunes on the G4, which I cannot? Does anyone have any suggestions besides getting a new computer?
The highest release of a g4 is 10.5 -- leopard. If you meet the leopard requirements.

Forget "No Service" - phone says I can only make emergency calls
I think i've had it with this Iphone. I'm on my 2nd refurbished phone since February 2010 (since they wouldn't replace my 1st phone after it kept showing No Service) and I'm sick and tired of all these problems. At first I was having a problem with No Service coming on my phone even though i'm in an area with tons of cell towers so I replaced my SIM card and got a refurbished "new" phone to see if that solved the problem. Then I still had that problem but then I was getting on my screen what looked like a cord connecting to ITunes saying that I can only make SOS/Emergency calls. What I had to do was shut the phone off and turn it back on - which itself isn't THAT big of a deal but more of an annoyance b/c I had no idea how long it had been out. I just got a second refurbished phone yesterday and this morning I'm having the same problem. When I took the second phone to the Apple store they said there was a problem with the antenna connecting or something and that there was something like over 300 network resets. What the f**k is wrong with these phones? Is it that IOS 4.01? Can I downgrade to the previous version? Does it have to do with my email? How can I stop these problems? My friends who live in my neighborhood who have the same phone do not have these No Service problems. I'm ready to call the head of Apple and have a few choice words with him!!
If you qualify to have it unlocked by AT&T (you completed your contract and don't owe them anything) then you can use it with limited functionality on any compatible GSM carrier. There are no pre-paid options for using it with AT&T. There are known compatibility problems with T-Mobile in the US. Some people have had limited luck using it on StraightTalk.
Follow the directions you get from AT&T assuming you qualify to have it unlocked. You will need a SIM, though I don't know that it will have to be an AT&T SIM. The unlock is done by restoring the phone using iTunes.
If you just want to use it as an iPod Touch (no cellular service) you can do that, but you will need an AT&T SIM to re-activate the phone. It does not have to be tied to active service, it just has to be present. -
