How to play Netflix on my Imac G5, it has Safari and Firefox 3, and over 1gb Ram and Mac OS X 10.4.11

You referenced that you had a iMac G5 model?
G5's are PowerPC CPUs and not Intel CPUs.
The Microsoft Silverlight software works with Intel chip Macs only.
And, if I am not mistaken, the software requires OS X 10.5.8 Leopard or greater to install.
So, you need both an Intel Mac with, at least, OS X 10.5.8 as minimum requirements.
Netflix will still not work on your Mac.
FYI.

How to install Leopard in my iMac if it has no DL-DVD player?

How to install Leopard in my iMac if it has no DL-DVD player?
My eMac is:
eMac G4/1.25 (USB 2.0) with 2GB RAM

Most PPC Macs cannot boot OSX from USB, they need Firewire... that being said, out of 13 PPC Macs I had one that booted from USB Drives, including Flash Drives, it was my eMac/1.42GHz as a matter of fact, USB drives would show as a boot choice if I held the Option/alt key at bootup, (nowhere else), but It lost that ability when I reset the NVRAM.
The USB boot workaround that works for some is...
Connect the drive to your machine, and find out which partition the OS X system is installed on. I usually find this by going to Disk Utility and looking at the info for the partition on the USB disk with OS X. That is, disk2s3 is usually for a USB disk with no OS 9 drivers installed that is the second disk disk. disk3s9 might be a USB disk with OS 9 drivers that is considered the third disk. There are other ways of finding this out, but in my case, my disk is disk2s3 (the 3 on the end will come into play soon).
Start up the machine in Open Firmware (this is the fun part). Hold Command-Option-F-F right after the machine is turned on.
Here is the moment of truth. If this step does not work, I have had very limited success getting a machine to boot off USB2. In Open Firmware, type devalias, and you should get a list as output. In this list, look for ud, usually below where you see hd (ud is "USB Disk," I presume). If found, it will usually have beside it /pci@f2000000/usb@1/disk1, or something similar. Again, if you see this, I have not had this fail yet.
Now type printenv boot-device, which will usually get you output of boot-device hd:,\\:tbxi. (See where this is going yet?)
Type setenv boot-device ud:3,\\:tbxi where the number after the colon corresponds to that partition number we found in step two. You should get an ok back.
Type printenv boot-device, and you should see the change displayed already. Something like:
boot-device ud:3,\\:tbxi hd:,\\:tbxi"

You'd need to clone the Install Disc to a Flash Drive, or make a DMG of it then Restore it to the Flash drive.

How can I update my 2008 iMac to the latest Safari OS?

This iMac has not been used for several years. It has Safari Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) and is not compatible with my HP Deskjet 1512, but when I check for new software the messages says my software is up to date. My operating system is Mac OS X Version 10.5.8, but my printer requires 10.6. How do I get this update for my iMac so I can use my printer?

How to play PS3 on new iMac?(imac as a display)

Hey All,
I bought the new iMac on late 2012, it's a 27" one, it only has thunderbolt ports, no mini display ports like the older ones
Altough I'm too busy I'd love to play PS3 once and while, just too lazy to hook up with a huge TV, so I'm wondering
how do I play PS3 with my iMac? I'd like to know what kind of other equipments/cables I need to buy with this new iMac
Much appreciated!
Roger

You can't do that. Macs with Thunderbolt ports can only be used as an external display for other Macs with Thunderbolt. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
Unfortunately, the Target Display mode of the iMac only works with Thunderbolt (in the case of Macs with Thunderbolt) or Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cables, so it's not compatible with any adapters. As a PlayStation 3 hasn't got a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort connector, you can't connect it to the iMac

Even if i do not open firefox i can be running another program and firefox repeatedly minimizes my other program and opens up search tabs. how do i get it to stop

i play an online game called perfect world. for some reason i can be in the middle of a game and firefox will minimize my game and open up tabs even if i am not doing anything with firefox. how can i fix this. it is really getting annoying

Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder and desktop shortcut before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 23.0: 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 lose 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.

I disabled Sync history with IE , yet every time i look at my history in Firefox it shows all the IE places i visited , how do i stop this , so i can go to only my Firefox history , but still have IE and Firefox synced

I use Firefox and Google Chrome for forums because they are faster than IE as IE(7) tends to hang a lot , so i have all my Favorites and everything synced with Firefox , as this is my main browser , but i do still use IE7 for some browsing , u went to Settings and unchecked the History , in the Sync section , but when i go to Firefox to view a forum topic i was looking at , recently , if i had gone to IE and visited any sites , then they show up in my history (for example Craigslist , i will look at several adds , and ALL of them are in my Firefox History) and push my Firefox history off the list so i have to go back to my favorites and start over , instead of being able to use my Firefox ONLY history so i can just go to those pages
Is there anyway to fix/bypass this but still have Cookies and Favorites and such synced ?? , without the IE History knocking all my Firefox history off the list ??
It's just annoying to have to go back from the beginning and search the topic i was in on a forum, because it was bumped off the list by any browsing i did in IE7, in between time
Another issues since i am posting:
I also have "Check Places" and it does not bring all the Favorites i have added in my IE Favorites over , the ones i did when i first installed it transferred , but any additional ones i have added to IE will not transfer , is there something wrong with Check Places ?? does it only transfer your Favorites 1 time , and not check for additions to the list then add them accordingly ???

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

MyStart-by Incredibar - How do I get rid of it. I have tried resetting Firefox in all ways ad infinitum, and all the other suggestions I can find. I

For the past few months I have been trying to get rid of MyStart by Incredibar. I have reset my computer to Firefox default, I have restarted Firefox with and without addons, I have searched with windows explorer and found and removed anything with incredibar and mystart and even file extensions. I am not particularly adept at understanding all the programming that constitutes the set up of my computer but with a step by step guide I can probably clean my machine. Please will someone help me just get rid of it.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

How to play multiple CDs from Music list

This may sound really dumb, but I can't figure out how to play multiple albums in the latest iTunes. I have to drag them over to a Playlist then check all the individual songs. Is there a way to gang up multiple albums and get them onto Up Next by just selecting from Music? Sometimes only the first song will play when I double click an album. This would be similar to playing three CDs from your home stereo, for instance. Can this simple task be performed from ITunes, please??

Basically right click the artits in that left column and select Add to Up Next.
You can also select individual albums by right clicking the album cover a little to the right and choosing the same option.

How to play YouTube videos in HD on iPhone over cellular?

Does anyone know how to play YouTube videos using the Google YouTube app in HD on the iPhone over cellular? I'm asking because I have an iPhone 5 with a large LTE data plan, which I don't mind using a bit more data for better clearity on the videos. I know in the past people have suggested to use YouTube in the Safari broswer to view videos in HD, but I find it to be non-consistant. Anyone have a better idea how to watch YouTube videos in HD on iPhone/iPad over cellular (3G/LTE)?

Did you use iAD to create the widget? If you did... then there support group should have answers.
If you used one of the widgets in iBA - as you have had no suggestion for a fix... you will need to contact iBooks support.
The More Like This column on the right shows links to similar problems.
It would seem to be related to your use of You Tube and Vimeo content or maybe its how you put the widget content together.
Have you search the iBA help files, previous posts and the iBA tips?
