I am running OS X ver. 10.5.8. Can I still use TechTool Deluxe ver. 3.1.2 to check integrity of my iMac?
I bought my iMac in Jan. of 2009. I also bought AppleCare at the same time. With AppleCare, I received TechTool Deluxe ver. 3.1.2. The only upgrades to the OS are the ones that Apple provided free. Now I want to start catching up on the OS upgrades, starting with Snow Leopard. I would like to check out my machine before upgrading to Snow Leopard. Can I still use TechTool Deluxe ver. 3.1.2 to do that? I have only used it once before with the assistance of an AppleCare agent. I'm afraid that the free upgrades I have received over the last 3 years, might cause a conflict between my current OS (10.5.8), and TechTool Deluxe ver. 3.1.2.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ken Taggart
Hi ...
Now I want to start catching up on the OS upgrades, starting with Snow Leopard.
Make sure your Mac meet's Snow Leopard's requirements > Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
You don't need TechTool in order to check the startup disk. You can verify the disk and repair if necessary using your Mac install disc.
Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities.
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
if the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
While you have the Disk Utility window open, check for Available disk space at the bottom of the window. (Snow Leopard requries 5GB of available space).
Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space. And make sure S.M.A.R.T. status says: Verified.

I am running Snow Leopard, and I bought a new camera (Canon Vixia HF R300). I am so far unable to download my movies into iMovie, and from what I have been able to ascertain, I need to upgrage to iMovie '11 to support the camera.
I have read that iMovie '11 was available at the Mac App Store, but now I see that the App Store has the new version, iMovie 10.0, which my Snow Leopard mac cannot support. Can I still get iMovie '11 from the App Store?Apple has not made older versions of apps available in the MAS, only the most recent version. Apple constantly reminds folks that they alone are responcible for backing up their content purchases for the very reason that content may not always be available from the MAS in the future.
To answer your question, no, a license for a particular version of an Apple app does not entitle you to older versions of the app. -
I am running Windows XP SP3. Firefox 9.0.1
When I try to use Yahoo chat, the popup Window does not display!
I can use iExplorer to chat.
This started to happen since last week (Wed. or Thur I believe)
I tried to disable all the add-ons but nothing. I've set the browser to default and nothing
I can see someone send me a chat blinking but I can't use it, nothing in conversation history.
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Bill.Hi bdnao02,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself.
The bug has been resolved in Firefox 10, so you may want to try installing the Beta if you feel it is important enough.
Hopefully this helps! -
the question is sufficient
The company that make the bioscanner for HP have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

My company can't use anything beyond ver.3.6 but, I want the latest version. Can I run both?
My company's website can only handle ver 3.6 and I want to run the latest version. Can I run both?
Yes but only one can be your default browser.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
And take a backup while Firefox is down all of your profiles before hand to an external drive and store offline. It's easy once you've created and used different profiles once. You on a Mac so I can't provide details but you want to backup
starting with the folder above the one your profile is in. You can find the profile
you are by typing about:support into the location bar, then click on button "Open Containing Folder" that is your profile but since you will be having multiple profile go up one more director above that and backup that folder.
Whether you know what do with the backup now is not as important as having them. -
It seems my machine does not like your ver4 and 3.6.16. I want the ver prior to 3.6.16. . Since the last 2 updates have not been able to use FF to browse or play Webkinz. It is way too slow. Following the install of 3.6.16 the Colorfultabs is not working and I can't fix it or adjust it because the Add-ons list/page freezes. I have removed/disabled several add-ons and extensions and nothing seems to help. If it were not for IE I would not be able to use my machine. I have 2.5 GB of memory and 30 percent plus of free space on my hard drive. I use Windows XP SP3 if that makes a difference. I don't think I need a lot of add-ons but need to know what I can remove. The feature to open FF without any add-ons is gone for some reason. Please give me back my simple smooth operating FF. Thank you.
I had all the dot nets in add/remove but discovered they were not installed. Got all up to date. Puter is 2005, I have all that U listed except Win7. I just don't know if I need that or not. Did U say that I need more than the 2.5 GB
memory that I have? Please tell me why Win7 is better than WinXP.
FF is running much better now but Webkinz accounts are still loading slower than in IE. I am wondering if maybe I should totally remove all of FF including customizations and personal info and start over fresh with a clean install of ver 4. I am still using ver 3.6.16. Is it possible that this is reason for Webkinz (a flash, java and Unity game) not loading good? Also, are there some of the Plug-ins that I can remove? What Audio players do I need? I have wmp, real player, aol media playback, realarcade, realjukebox, also is Zylom usable? Thank you so much for your help. -
I am running Mac OS 10.10.1 on a MacBook Pro,
I am trying to use AI CS4 ver.14.0.0.0
when I start the program it is open in the back round but will not show up in the command line or display any of the tool pallets. I can only use force quit. All the other CS4 programs, photoshop, dreamweaverRichard,
There are serious issues with running it under Yosemite, so far unsolved I am afraid, so you may try in vain. You may consider rolling back the OS, or upgrading (you can still buy CS6 from Adobe).
Apart from that, remember to first upgrade the OS, then reinstall the applications. -
Since upgrading to ver. 24, I can no longer view the video clips from Fox News. the clip comes up but will not play. I don't have a problem using IE. I seldom use IE and FF is my main browser. What add-on or control do I need to rectify this situation? My e-mail is [email protected]
''(email obfuscated - please be cautious with posting your email address - c)''Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Whenever i try to open a PDF file it says " The adobe/acrobar reader that is running can not be used to view files in a web browser. Plz exit adobe/acrobat readerand exit your web browser and try again." Wt do i need to do, plz suggest.
Regards
Aditya BhargavaHi adityabhargava01-
My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
[[Options window - Applications panel]]
I hope that helps! -
I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
I have trying to download some manuals from their website
and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
In your Adobe application(s), go to:
Edit > Preferences > Internet
Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
(There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.) -
I have an iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16 GB memory and 1.12 TB storage running Yosemite 10.10.1 & Outlook 2011 for Mac. For a while, sent emails went to a sent folder on the iMac so I have a collection of sent emails there. I have attempted to move those sent emails from the iMac to my email server (IMAP), but without success. Is there a way to move them to a sent box on my server so I can see them on other devices? Many thanks for any help you can provide.
Go to: Apple > System Preferences > Universal Access and in the Seeing tab make sure that the Display Enhance contrast: is set to Normal.
Alternatly, try holding the ⌃⌥⌘ (control command alt) keys and then pressing the , (comma) key a few times. -
I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.
What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

When I run the Dr. Fone software it shows they are still on my iPad 2 but it costs 60-70 dollars. Is there another way to retrieve them? They were not backed up on Itunes like I thought they were. Please help!!
Recover software as you have described is pretty much your only option - keep in mind that if wait, some of the currently recoverable data may well be over-written and lost.

Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?
3-D is very memory intensive.
System requirements | Photoshop
Mac OS
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
OpenGL 2.0–capable system
Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM
