I am not very tech savvy, installed Firefox and it w0n't communicate with my email (incredimail). also is there a way to transfer my favorites/bookmarks over from IE to firefox? Those two things would be a great start!

I am not very tech savvy, installed Firefox and it won't communicate with my Incredimail. If I click on a link in my email it does nothing. ie: if i click on the pay now button on ebay or paypal it goes nowhere. also is there a way to transfer all my favorites/bookmarks from IE to firefox. I've heard Firefox is so much better than IE but I am getting frustrated (probably out of my own ignorance of the program) and ready to go back to IE. Please help! Thanks. Jeanne

I cannot help with Incredimail, but I do know how to transfer bookmarks.
One can use File > Import from the menu or export favourites from IE as .html and then import the file into Firefox from the "Show all bookmarks" window. To get the menu to show up, press Alt. Firefox should have offerecd to import several items from IE when you first set it up. Did it not do that?

I am looking at buying a MacBook Air over the Pro mainly for the 12 hour battery. Just wondering if battery is compromised by upgrading to 8mb and upgrading to I7 Intel dual core. I am not very tech savvy so apologies if dumb question

If both computers were configured identically, then they would both lose the same amount of battery life with respect to the same starting configuration - comparing apple to apples. I don't know how much the added RAM, etc. would reduce battery life, but it would be less for both models.
Battery life is a tricky subject because most mfgr.s like to suggest as long a life as possible, but often do so under a set of conditions that are not common to most users. Apple is no different. Their computers do have good battery life, however. But not likely as long as what is in the ads for the typical user.

I am behind the times. I didn't upgrade my iPad 2 in May. I am not very tech savvy. What do I do to be current on my IPad 2? How do I back up and save my current files?

I didn't upgrade my iPad2 last May and I don't know what I need to do. I also don't know how to backup my iPad2. I am obviously not very tech savvy. Any help is appreciated.

I'm not very tech savvy...HELP PLEASE!

Newbie here...First time here. So be nice please =) .....But quite frankly I am sick and tired of changing my Itunes password on my Iphone! Every time I want to "update" my apps on my phone it NEVER recognizes my password!!! What gives?!! I have changed it many times and it continues to get "invalid" password. Am I the only having this problem?!! I know I'm not crazy. Someone PLEASE help! WTH am I doing wrong?????

Hi
It seems that the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 8 64bit system.
Do you still use the Win 8?
Some month ago, the new Win 8.1 has been released by MS.
I would recommend you to upgrade the Win 8 to Win 8.1 following exactly the step by step instruction by Toshiba
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/
After the Win 8.1 upgrade you will need to update and install all the Toshiba Win 8.1 drivers.
I guess after that the function keys will work ok.

I bought a usb microphone (blue snowball). I can't hear any sound from it. The MIDI master volume is turned all the way down, and I can't turn it up because it's frozen/locked. Please help!!! Not very tech savvy, been at this for hours and desperate :(

I've been trying to fix this problem, seems like it would be simple, but apparently it is not. I just want to turn up the master volume control under my input tab in MIDI audio devices so I can use my blueball microphone.
This image above is what I'm currently dealing with. I put a red box around the volume control I want to use. That is the one I can't turn up because it is locked/frozen.
Please make steps as simple as possible!
Thanks

You should have gotten a user manual. If the manual is of no help, contact the manufacturer.

Is there another way to bring your existing bookmarks over to firefox loaded on a new PC without using sync? Something similar to how you do it in Thunderbird?

Why do you need a sync key in the first place? XMarks works perfectly for bookmarks without one? Why not allow people to save and access their data with just a login name and a password. You logon from any device and sync your info to firefox on the new device? Maybe I am missing something but the sync application is worthless, get somebody to redesign it so it is simple and it works. Please provide some instructions also. People don't have time to write down a sync key as well as logon names and passwords. Another layer just complicates the issue. Please explain?
Think data is saved from an existing PC and trying to load it into firefox on a new PC, sync key is incorrect and may have deleted data anyway because requested new sync key. How do I find out if the existing data from account is still on the sync servers?

You ask many questions!
To answer your subject line, yes, you can move bookmarks around three ways:
(1) places.sqlite database file - contains your bookmarks AND history
(2) JSON-format backup file from the bookmarkbackups folder in your currently active Firefox settings (AKA profile) folder
(3) HTML-format export file generated from the Bookmarks Organizer (Library) dialog
The first two are more complete. The third lacks certain information such as tags but can be imported into an existing installation of Firefox without wiping out the bookmarks that are already there.
Articles with more info:
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
With respect to your questions about Firefox Sync:
Each sync account is separate. If you got the warning that selecting a new key would erase your data, and you did it anyway, then your data is gone. Even if your data is not gone, it would have been inaccessible without your recovery key.
Sync is designed not to require your recovery key unless you end up with zero PCs connected to your sync account. As long as one PC is connected, you can generate a short code to join another PC to the account. (By PC I mean installation/profile of Firefox.)

Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

I have a MacBook. In previous versions of Firefox I could zoom in or out using my trackpad. Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save. Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry! I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired. I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!! The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated! I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either. I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
The instructions how to do that are here:
Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

Hey folks, I'm not a tech savvy guy......what are some tips to clear space so I can update? Thanks, Kevin

Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

I am running 10.5.8 and want to make use of the icloud changeover, I understand that I must first buy snow leopard 10.6 and then buy lion 10.7. Do I buy these as upgrades versions or full versions? I am not very techie, thanks for anya advice

A 10.5 era machine is better left on 10.6.8
I don't advise upgrading it to 10.7 as you'll have to buy all new versions of software for a older model machine, some are not ready yet and some of your third party driver software may not be available for your other hardware.
10.7 is slower and requires 4GB of RAM actually.
10.8 is being released this summer and it won't run on certain older graphic cards, so shortly you will be behind again.
Save your money for a new 10.8 machine. IMO
These rapid OS X upgrades are for those who like to be on the cutting edge and can afford to buy new hardware often, you didn't even upgrade to 10.6, so your not that sort of person obviously.
But you do need to upgrade to 10.6 for security issues and faster video. It will run your 10.5 Rosetta software, but 10.7 will not.
