  • I have set up sync and it has worked, but the key is impossibly long and I can't memorize it. I would have to write it down and then what, store it in my iphone case for use away from the computer? That's no good.

    Can I change the sync key sequence to something I can remember I guess is my question.

    No, Mozilla doesn't allow the user to create their own Sync Key any longer, it is a standardized 26 character string that us generated automatically. There is a shorter 15 character string that seems to be used for mobile devices and used when setting a different device once Sync is set up and the initial sync is completed, but I don't know how the two different strings relate to each other.
    Once FirefoxHome is setup in the iPhone it should remember the login information and work seamlessly. You shouldn't have to remember your Sync Key and fill it out after the initial setup of the FirefoxHome app.

  • I have a new i phone and for some reason it has picked up a wrong apple ID in the App Store, its OK in ITunes how can i correct this?

    I have a new i phone and for some reason it has picked up a wrong apple ID in the App Store, its OK in ITunes how can i correct this?

    The Apple ID for future purchases is in Settings>Store>Apple ID.  However, apps have to be updated using the Apple ID used to originally purchase them.  This can't be changed.  If the App store is asking you to provide a password for a different Apple ID when you are updating apps, it's because this ID was used to purchase it originally.

  • I have a question about the new Magic mouse and wireless keyboard.

    Just wondering. My computer is in my kitchen, against a wall, and connected to my t.v. directly on the other side of this wall in my living room. My question is this, can I use the wireless mouse and keyboard with the computer in the living room, through the wall, while mirroring the screens? Hope this makes sense. In other words, will the magic mouse and keyboard have the strength of range to connect through the wall. Thanks.

    It depends on how far it is and how thick your walls are. If there plasterboard partitions and only 10 feet apart then probably.
    If you have a mobile phone with bluetooth, then try sending the computer a picture of file from similar distances to that you intend using the keyboard, if it works then a bluetooth keyboard and mouse should.

  • HT4527 I have a new laptop/PC, and I want to keep content of iTunes on an external drive, how do I set this up?

    I have a new laptop/pc, and I am trying to set up iTunes on it; but I want to keep content on an external drive (lots of movies/books/etc.).   I know I will not be able to see when not hooked up to that drive, or sync with out it.  What is the best way to go about setting this up.

    Hi drnels,
    Are you saying you still have access to the backup? If you do, you should take a look at [[Backing up your information]]. It will show you where all of your personal information is stored in Firefox and how you can copy it to a new install.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I have a new Airport Extreme and an old airport express.  I am getting an amber light on the new Extreme and a green light on the Express.   I have internet no problem but the status light is blinking amber

    I have a new Airport Extreme and and old airport express.  I am getting an amber status light on the Extreme and a green light on the Express.  The Extreme is blinking amber all the time.
    I have internet and everything seems to be working.
    I have reset and pulled the power cord on both the extreme and the internet block
    How do I make it Green?

    If things seem to be working OK, but the amber light is flashing......the AirPort Extreme has a message for you. To see what that might be......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
    Click on the amber dot in the small window
    It might be a message that a firmware update is available for your AirPort Extreme.

  • New magic mouse and new rechargeable batteries aren't at %100....

    Hi, my new rechargeable batteries and charger aren't showing that my batteries are anywhere near %100 powered. I've let the batteries charge overnight and when replacing them in both the mouse and the keyboard they've shown at max 75% battery level. What's up with that?
    Also, this is the battery kit from Apple.

    that's completly normal because rechargables don't work the same way as batteries do. 75% is a good value in my experience.
    besides that, you might also notice that the % jump around a little and that the last 20% or so drain very fast

  • We have a new iPod  Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac.  We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level.  Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

  • I have a new hard drive fitted, next to my old one, I want to move my bookmarks from the old hard drive to the new one.

    My old hard drive had a problem, I can get info from it, I just want to get my old bookmarks.

    The user data is store in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the relevant files from the old profile folder into your current profile folder. If it is just the bookmarks that you want, you can just copy places.sqlite from the old profile folder.
    For details of the location of the profile folder, and what the files/folders in the profile folder are for see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  • Simple directions for setting up a new magic mouse?

    Have the original mouse, which keeps losing its connection.  I am replacing it with a brand new Magic Mouse and have looked all over for directions to connect with with my MAC, discontinue the original mouse, and start using the new one.  I have checked all my updates and downloaded the most current magic mouse software.  A pop up says there is a new version of the download already loaded, but I can't find it. 
    Can someone tell me if I really need a new mouse and can help me correct my connection loss on my orginal mouse or help me, step by step, to connect the new one?  Thank you all.

    Reset the PRAM to see if that helps the old mouse.
    Setting up the new one should be turn it on and it should pair.

  • Magic Mouse and Employing Pinch to Open and Close Feature

    I have purchased a magic mouse and would like to employ the "pinch to open & close" features (option on multi-touch trackpad) with the magic mouse. This is not the same as zoom (e.g. hold control key with mouse wheel).
    I have tried using bettertouchtool and magicprefs, but it appears that neither accommodates this feature easily. If there were a keyboard shortcut to employ this feature then I think I can assign it to a magic mouse gesture via BTT or Magic Prefs, but I cannot find such a keyboard shortcut.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    It could be you are approaching it incorrectly.   It can be a tricky little gadget that actually works with minimal pressure.
    Try turning over the mouse so the compartment panel faces you, optical sensor topmost.  Then holding the mouse at each side but not on the panel itself, flick the small, black rectangular panel downwards.   The top of the panel should spring out, though it may require you to manipulate it fully away from the mouse.
    Once you have replaced the batteries, starting at the bottom reverse the procedure then clip into place.   Remember to move the small switch next to the optical sensor upwards which should turn on the green light.   Then click twice to connect.

  • Magic Mouse and MS Word 2011 (under OS 10.7, iMac middle 2011): Marking of word in a document stops after a few seconds while still pressing the left button and keep on moving the mouse (batteries full)

    Software: OS X Lion (10.7.4); Microsoft Word für Mac 2011, Version 14.2.2 (120421)
    Hardware: iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB, magic mouse
    To mark several clauses in a doc-document (in MS Word 2011), I press the left mouse button and move the mouse along the words
    My problem:
    While still pressing the left button and moving the mouse, the marking on the screen stops and I can't change the already existing markings any more (to become less or especially more).
    Who knows:
    - why this happens and how I can abondon this behaviour?
    - is it a settings problem in MS Word 2011 or of OS X Lion?
    By the way:
    - I don't watch this behaviour in MS Excel 2011. There everything works fine.
    - The batteries are fully loaded and I'm about 30 to 40 cm (1") away from the iMac (RSSI: -60 dB)
    Thanks for answers.

  • I have a new WRV210 router, and set it up fine - works as...

    I have a new WRV210 router, and set it up fine - works as expected for about 5-10 hours then hangs - pull the power, and restart the device it works again. This is getting old fast.
    I use if for a VPN ipsec tunnel - tunnel works great when it is working.
    It is also used as a NAT behind an AT&T router getting a DHCP address for the WAN connection.
    It has the latest firmware as listed on the web site 1.1.16
    I was thinking about reflashing the firmware - any suggestions?

    Hey try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power
    light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power
    cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router &
    then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are
    solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out
    it will definately work!!
