    When I try to access my online bank account thru Firefox, the session times out. This is on a new Macbook Pro. On my old Macbook Pro I can access the site. I know it is probably something in settings but cannot figure it out.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

  • Keep downloading Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac (as prompted) to my new Macbook Pro, running Lion (OS 10.7.1) and it won't open and install. WTF?

    I have Firefox version 3.6.22 (Mac) & keep downloading Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac (as prompted) to my new Macbook Pro, running Lion (OS 10.7.1) and it won't open and install. WTF?

    something similar has been happening to me for a a couple weeks (even before the most recent update, but now is definitely worse) on my 2010 MacBook Air. Firefox freezes upon startup, and then freezes maybe every twenty minutes or so when I'm actively using it, staying frozen for at least a minute or two. it drives me crazy.

  • How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?

    How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?
    Do I need to buy an adapter? How do I setup the software to make these two system connected?

    Thanks for your answering. But the issue is that I'll often transfer a large amount files from PCs to the Macbook, and I'm explring the way to use firewire since there is indeed an i-S400 port in the VAIO laptop, and it's much faster.
    USB 2 is faster than Firewire 400 and USB 3 is faster than Firewire 800
    If it was another Mac you were transferring from then you could use Firewire Target Disk Mode which makes the boot drive of the old Mac appear on the desktop of the new Mac to rapidly copy files, but you have a Windows PC with no FWTDM capability.
    So to connect the two machines requires a network be setup over Ethernet and mucking around with the complexities of all that and it still takes awhile to finish. One can't setup a network with a PC over USB or Firewire, only Firewire with another Mac.
    You get a external USB drive, USB 3,2,1 is fine and just drag and drop copy, the machine does all the work and you go do something else until it's finished, then repeat the same with the Mac.
    Fast simple and effective, let it copy overnight if you have too.
    I routinely clone my entire hard drive via USB 2 and it only takes a hour and a half for 350GB.
    By the time you figure out how to network a Mac and a PC over Ethernet and getting it work to transfer files, you could be done already via USB.

  • How can I move all my emails and mailboxes from my Powerbook 10.4 to a new MacBook Pro running Lion?

    I have an older PowerBook (OS X 10.4.x) and I need to move all my Mail (including mail I archived to folders) to a new Macbook Pro running Lion. 
    Can I just move the Mail directory (/Home/Library/Mail) and com.apple.mail.plist from the Powerbook to the MBP? 
    I noticed that the Mail directory structure on the MBP is different in Lion than the Mail directory structure on my PB OS X 10.4.
    I didn't want to overwrite the Mail directory on the MBP and find out I corrupted Mail on the new MBP.
    Any advise would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The safe "step 1," of course, is to keep an unaltered copy of the 10.4 Mail folder and plist so that if something bad happens on the new machine, you just throw out that folder and plist and try again.
    The safe "step 2" is that instead of dragging the folder into the same place on the new Mac, you can copy it to a separate location, like a temporary folder in Documents, then in Apple Mail in your new Lion MBP, use File/Import Mailboxes. It will ask you where the mailboxes are, and after you point it to that folder, I'm assuming it will import and convert them to the new format and place them in the correct sub-folders. If it goes well, you can then delete the temporary copy that you made for import purposes.
    The 10.4 plist might be too old since it's 3 major versions later; you can try putting it in the Preferences folder, but it seems safer to note all the settings in 10.4 and re-enter them from scratch.

  • Can i use a WD My book backup to transfer data from old pc to new macbook pro with retina

    I am getting a new macbook pro retina and I need to migrate from my old pc to the MBP. Can I use my WD My Book back up to transfer? I dont have the thunderbolt to ethernet connection and my wireless is not real fast, so afraid to do that way. Thank you!

  • Can I update keynotes version 5.1.1. to keynotes version 6.2.2. on my macbook pro using snow lepeard?

    I have a Macbook pro still on Snow Leopard with Keynotes version 5.1.1.(09)
    I have created a Keynote presentation on my MacPro using keynotes v 6.2.2.
    When I tried to send the 6.2.2. version over to my Macbook it stated that it was not a valid keynote document.
    There is no update connection on the Macbook to update the 09 version.
    Will I have to purchase a new Keynotes and will it run on Snow Leopard.
    Failing this, it means that I will have to set up the whole presentation again on the Macbook!!! Time consuming.
    Thanks
    SAS

    The most up to date version of Keynote that will run in Snow Leopard is 5.3
    Keynote version 6.2.2 will not run in Snow Leopard, it will only run in Mavericks
    All versions of Keynote are unable to open files created in a later version, so version 5.3 can't open files created in 6.2.2

  • I cannot seem to update Garageband 11 on my new MacBook Pro retina (Mountain Lion)

    Hi,
    I've just bought a new 15" MBP retina (Mountain Lion). I have Garageband '11 pre-installed.
    When i try to add additonal instruments Garageband opens a prompt box and asks if I want to update now or  later. I have tried both options and neither work - the app store opens but it cannot find any updates.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks

    Sometimes you need to reload the updates page at the App Store after you selected to "Update Later":
    From the App Store main menu bar: Store > Reload page
    If that does not bring the update forward, see my post here:

  • New Macbook Pro (free OSX LION update)

    Hi,
    i bought a macbook pro today and i would like the free OSX LION update but i cannot log in to download because i can't change the country from U.S to Greece where i live...?
    Is the free update only for US customers?

    I tried that and it still does the same thing :/
    in this case does that mean I have to go out and buy one of these adapters?

  • New Macbook Pro. wont connect to wireless network once it has had a update

    hi
    bought a new macbook pro last week, when you first start it up it connects fine to a wireless network, but once the software update is compltete it says that there is an error trying to jion network. there is already a powerbook g4 connected to the network and a pc. i have re installed tiger and it can connect fine until the software update has restarted the mac and the same error is back again. do i re install it again and never update it or is there a simple way to correct the fault

    My girlfriends New Macbook Pro is doing the same thing. I does connect to non-secure wireless connections such as at the airport but doesn't connect to her home wireless connection that is run by an SBC DSL 2WIRE gateway. I can connect fine on her old IBM laptop that I am on right now through this network wirelessly.
    There has to be a fix for this?

  • I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update the software on my ipod touch. My old macbook ran 10.4.11 and won't update - but the new computer says I have to update on the computer I normally sync on or my music will be lost. Solution?

    I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update to ios 5 on my ipod touch.  My old macbook only has 10.4.11 and can't be updated to lion - and won't update my ipod touch to ios 5.  But the message on my new macbook pro says I have to update on the computer I normally use for syncing or my music will be lost.  Is there any solution for this?

    try exporting your iTunes libary from the old computer to the new one
    take a look at this from apple

    I am not sure you have home shareing with 10.4.11 but if you do it works very nicely

    Its no longer visible to the user. You can go to the folder by using the Go to Folder using username/library using the go to folder option to the right of the Finder labeled Go, then Go to Folder. Then you can see the contents of the user library folder.

  • HT3702 i have updated my billing information and still can't update the existing Apps. I changed the credit card and still same problem

    I have updated my billing information and still can't update my existing apps , i ahve changed the payment card and still same problem ,what shall i do ?

    It's a credit card, not a debit card ? As far as I know that message will show if you are trying to use a card that was not issued by a bank in the same country as where your iTunes account is based (and you need to be in that country). If you are sure that it is then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
