I followed the instructions but my new computer does not show my old bookmarks, etc. what happened?

I followed the instructions to sync firefox to my new computer. I saved info, printed my sync key. I had to disconnect my old computer from the internet, and then reconnect to my new one.
When i entered the sync key, I did not receive my favorites, etc.
What do I do now?

Have you tried starting iTunes, plug in the usb end of the connecting wire, then hold the home button on the iPod while plugging in the 30-pin connector?

I have a firewire scanner but my new computer does not have a firewire port

I have a Nikon Coolscan firewire scanner, but my new computer does not have a firewire port. Are there any suggestions on how I can continue to use my scanner? Is there some form of Firewire to USB interface?
Thanks for any ideas.
John

I would think Gene's adapter will work fine, but if you are stuck, it might be useful to find larger number of Nikon users to ask. The DPReview forums come to mind, except they are split into sections. If you are on flickr, there is bound to be a general Nikon group. The Canon group on flickr gets a ton of traffic and has a trillion members. Then there are places like Fred Miranda and Luminous Landscape, that is mostly populated by grown ups with lots of knowledge. On second thoughts, forget about Luminous Landscape, unless that was a typo in your first post, and you actually have a Hasselblad or PhaseOne scanner

I'm having the same problem. I have my main Library on a WXP machine and a new W7 laptop. My iphone 4 sees the library from the W7 machine, but neither the laptop nor the iphone see the big library on the WXP machine. I have configured firewall settings, tried the network wired and wireless, using same apple id on all devices, restarted itunes on all computers, turned sharing off and on on all computers. Nothing works.

"This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
I am get this message on my Ipad and have followed the instructions, connect the Ipad, lock the screen and connected to a Wi-Fi connection - however I have done this but I still get the message on the screen. It will not even let me press 'OK' - the screen is not responsive... I cannot access the OS. Help

Reset your iPad to clear that condition:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Luactivate 'succeeds' but then new BE does not show up in GRUB menu

Hi,
I'm trying to do a live upgrade from S10 u6 to u7.
The machine is a Sun v20z (which is an x64 box).
The only file system is ZFS, which consists of two drives that forming one pool, "rpool".
I use the Service Processor/LOM over SSH to monitor the status of the console and GRUB menu.
I did everything as directed and everything seemed to check out OK, but no matter what, the new BE never shows up on the GRUB menu! It's driving me nuts! PLEASE HELP!

What happens when you create a new BE using the current BE without any changes (just making a bootable copy of the current BE)? What is the results of cat /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst? If you do a lufslist bootenvname, do all of the indicated filesystems actually exist?

My MacBook Pro shows the "Macintosh HD" icon on the desktop but my MacBook Air does NOT have the icon on it's desktop. Is this normal? If not, how do I remount the MacBook Air disk icon on the desktop?

If so, then this is normal.

HT1420 I have successfully deauthorised my old computer but am unable to authorise my new machine. I have followed the instructions but there is no option on the store menu to 'Authorise this computer'. Please help!

I have successfully deauthorised my old computer but a unable to authorise my new machine. I have followed the instructions but there is no option on the store menu to 'Authorise this computer'. Please help!

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

How can I get Home Share to work for iTunes?? I've followed the instructions but one I have activated Home Share, there is no "Shared" heading to link to my other computer. It (the word "Shared") disappears after I turn on Home Share.

I followed the instructions, but once I turn on "Home Sharing", the word "Shared" disappears from the left hand column of the iTunes window. So, where can I link to my other computer so I can share my music??

Make sure that the iTunes version is updated on your computers that you are using for Home Sharing. Also, I think that all of the computers have to be on with iTunes pulled up while you are trying to transfer data.
You have to have Home Sharing turned on with both computers. If you do have Home Sharing turned on with all of your computers, are your 'Shared' computers all authorized under the same account? If not, they should be.
Have you checked 'Share my library on my local network' in preferences? You should have the box checked for both computers.
I hope this helps!

I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general. How can I update my phone?

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Hello,I have downloaded photos from my ipod touch following the instructions but it doesn't download videos.Can you help please?

doesn't download videos
I seen so many of these post for windows users.
Try my little "trick" (must be running iOS 4.3 or better)
Download the app "Download Manager Lite" (FREE) or "Download Manager" Full ($ 1.99 USD)
After downloading, transfer it to iTunes
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
After transferring, Go to your iDevice (on itunes), to the apps page, scroll down, you can add/save videos and/or files.
Click on "Add", find the folder of which your movies are being downloaded. Its much faster than syncing from itunes.
You can do the wi-fi transfer, the best part is that you don't have to be connected to the same wi-fi.
You will get 2 different URLs you need to type on your computer. Type the Web URL not the ftp URL. After that, you should have access to the app, without the need of itunes.
Click on Add, find the folder of where your movies are stored, faster than syncing with iTunes.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard? I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard. Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

Hi,
Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Thank You
Arjun
