I can't seem to get Firefox to open links in Thunderbird, for ex. and when checking defauts, it doesn't show up in my standard user profile (Win7)

I've tried a few browsers, but want to go back to only Firefox as default browser. I can find it and allocate it in the Administrator profile, but not my daily use, standard user. It doesn't even appear in the list of programs to assign defaults.
And when I click on a web link (in Thunderbird, for ex.) I have to copy and paste it in Firefox to go to the page.

Ok I can't seem to get my apps,music, or photos from my iCloud from when I first setup iCloud on a iPhone 4. How do I get my things back from the iCloud and get them to my new device?

If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll.

You went from the wrong direction. Start with Nikon website and the WU-1a adapter. click on the download at the App store....

It will take you to the App.

I can't seem to get Firefox to update on my Linux Mint system???

First I have to say I'm a little tech challenged. I can't seem to get my Firefox to update to the latest version. I've tried the Help page and done the fixes to no avail. I also downloaded the latest version but my computer will not seem to do anything with it. My Linux Mint is currently up to date.
My Firefox does crash occasionally and I wind up having to shut the computer down manually. Linux restarts fine but sometimes it takes two or three tries to get Firefox up without crashing again...
Thanks

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Where can I go to get OS X Lion. I paid for it and now I can't seem to be able to download it anywhere.

I purchased OS X Lion. It worked. I bought and installed OS X Mountain Lion. It doens't work. Its slow. And is getting slower. Takes for ever to boot up and the problems just keep coming. I have to repair permissions almost daily because Mail and Safari lock up and bounce and bounce and bounce. Have to force quit. Can't relaunch the system because everything disappears - icons, screen, everything. Sometimes I even have to just push the power button to get the thing to restart.
I'm tired of this. I want Lion back but I can't seem to be able to download it off of the App store when I purchased it there. And funny, its on'ly one version back. You should be able to get it without having to jump through hoops.
I hate Microsoft and I'd hate to have to move in that direction but I'm tired of the headaches I'm getting with ML. Its just not worth it.

HI Pete.
I have a 27" iMac. (mid 2010).
2.93 GHz Intel Core i7
It has 12 GB of memory with the ATI Radeon HD graphics card.
And at present I'm updated on up OS X 10.8.3. And this is the basic minimal system. I have not put any of my software on except for my email and Safari. I loaded my bookmarks and such. Other than that. Nothing else.
I've updated everything but iTunes. Really don't like the new iTunes so I haven't updated it to 11.02.
I don't seem to have issues with the memory. I ran them through Tech Tool Pro and they passed. Same with the graphics card.
This primarily seems like a software issue. OS X Lion worked great. I updated to OS X 10.8 on my MacBook Pro when Mountain Lion came out and I've had no issues on it. Runs fast and the issues I have are all on my iMac. I updated to 10.8 on my iMac in late January. Decided that enough time had passed that any major bugs would of been worked out by then and since my MacBook had no problems I figured Ok.
Since my problems started, I've read about sleep problems but hadn't really noticed them until the last couple of weeks. My iMac does not wake up but only about 50% of the time now. Even worse since I reinstalled the OS.
I'm just wanting to go back to Lion. Seemed to run faster. Software issues were minimal. And I didn't have to run diagostic software on a daily basis to get my computer to just start up.

How can I get firefox to open links to .smil documents ?

Firefox does not open .smil docs correctly. I get news updates from RTE.ie (ireland's national radio station's website) in which all headlines are links to .smil documents which firefox just asks whether to download instead of opening the relevant document. Is there a setting or plugin to handle .smil documents? or other solution?
Thanks,
Aidan.

You can place a shortcut to the Firefox program in the Startup folder in "Start > Programs" by dragging the Firefox shortcut from the desktop or by dragging the Firefox entry in "Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox" to that folder (or use Copy/Paste to achieve this).

I just subscribed to iTunes Match but I find my iPhone 4s is matched to the wrong Apple ID. iCloud is properly linked to the same Apple ID I registered for iTunes Match but I can't seem to get my iPhone to link Match to that ID.

How can I link iTunes Match to my proper Apple ID? I have two ID's and my phone accesses iCloud with the proper ID but it insists on trying to access iTunes Match using the wrong ID so I get the message that I'm not registered for iTunes Match.

The iCloud and iTunes Store account ID are not the same thing. They can be different although some folks, like myself, do have the same Apple ID for all the Apple services. Go to Settings > Store and enter the exact same iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase iTunes Match. Be aware you can only switch Apple IDs on an iOS device every 90 days.

I cannot get firefox to open/run. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I keep getting this message. Please help!!

In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?

In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.

This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

I am using an iPad and iPhone and have exchange as my email. Both will only collect mails when I am in the wifi of the office, and not when I am out and about. I can't seem to get a fix for it.

I suddenly have BING as my search engine. I checked my settings and Google is my search engine. I can’t seem to get rid of this BING any suggestions on getting rid of it and getting back to Google?

Hello
I did remove Bing from the drop down menu, but it is still in Firefox as main search engine. I also did a back up and restore. Nothing has worked so far. I read a post that people were able to delete Bing from Explorer. I guess using Explorer will be my last resort.

I can't seem to get the iTS to update the description of my podcast, nor refresh to show new episodes?

I recently launched a podcast series (http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/notes-from-northwest-passage/id449063851) but its still showing an older description text with some typos and an incorrect link in it, as I registered it with a pre-edited file so it would be in line for review while I finalized the details, and now I can't seem to get it to refresh and show the new texts at all, even though I edited the description texts in the xml file well over 2-3 weeks ago.
I've tried redoing this file several times. It always validates but changes never get picked up by the iTunes store.I can manually subscribe to the feed using iTunes' advanced menu, with no problems. The feed is at:
http://a4.g.akamai.net/7/4/66750/v1/smb2.download.akamai.com/66750/http/podcasts /archaeology2011/arcticarchaeology2011_eng.xml
I recently (about 3-4 days ago) tried redirecting the feed to a new version of the xml file stored in a new folder, just to see if that would somehow jolt it back into reading it, but again after 3-4 days it hasn't done anything.
It's also not showing any of the most recent episodes even though they have all been there about a week, so the store should have picked them up by now, no?
Any suggestions?

If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
<pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues. I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?

Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
Good luck!

HT3500 I have a MacBook Pro and an HP ENVY 110 SERIES All-In-One . I can't seem to get a network set up or either one to locate or connect to the other one.

I've spent hours, actually probably days, trying to do this but it's not working. I've had the ENVY since Nov
and have not been able to print - much less do anything else with it.
My internet is CLEAR wireless. I use the little USB 4G Mobil Modem. This new HP ENVY is also wireless.
I know I can't be online and print at the same time unless I get a router.
I also know that I can go offline and change the network pref to "airport" so I can print. Meaning I'll have to change
back and forth but for my uses, that's ok..at least for right now.
What I can't seem to get set-up correctly is my own local network.
I'm pretty sure it's suppose to be done using "Airport".
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong in establishing my network.
The printer is listed on my printer preferences and shown as "offline" "default". I assume that means the ENVY
is my default printer. Great! At least my Pro knows it's suppose to connect to the ENVY once everything's set-up correctly.
Now, if someone could just tell me exactly, step-by-step what to do to get that done....
I'd be soooo very happy!
Thank you!
Ricki

Well... no help was found here.. so I abandoned the wireless- ness of my printer. I bought a
small 10 port hub because only 2 USB ports really isn't enough with wireless mouse, wireless internet
and any kind of printer. I also bought a long USB cable. I now print--wired since this can be done
as an alternative to wireless with this printer. Because I don't want a cable "hanging around"
when the printer is not in use, I simple disconnect it and reconnect when I want to print.
It's a temporary solution others may find helpful as well. Apparently there's been a lot of
confusion and problems getting this printer set up wirelessly with our MacBooks.
Shame on HP for not helping us out!
