I have MAC G5 Tower OSX 10.4.11. Receiving constant yellow dropdown banner message telling me to upgrade. Not Possible?

I have a G5 Tower OSX 10.4.11 and am constantly receiving the yellow banner asking me to upgrade Firefox. Of course, Firefox Mozilla knows that I cannot upgrade on this operating system. If there is a way, please inform. Otherwise, what are my options, other than get a new computer. Or, obviously, change back to Safari which failed at playing videos. And now, I cannot even play videos with Firefox linked on FaceBook to youTube.

You can set the app.update.url to an empty string on the about:config page to prevent Firefox from searching for updates.

Firefox 4 and later require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on OS X 10.5).
*http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/18.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.2 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

I have Mac running 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.25, and FF keeps telling me to upgrade to the latest compatible upgrade, but I can find no evidence on their site that something better exists.

Mac OS 10.4 is the limit for my old Mac. I get the message that I should upgrade to a newer version of Firefox than 3.6.25, but the "tell me more" and other links it presents me offer no hint of that newer compatible version.

Firefox 3.6.x is the last version of Firefox available from Mozilla for PPC Macs and 10.4.

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

I have Mac Book Pro osx version 10.6.8 if I download Lion will it upgrade my Safari?
Thanks

The most recent Safari version for Mac OS X is 5.1.7, and the most recent Safari version for Lion and Mountain Lion is 6.0.2, so Safari will be updated.
To upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade

Hi there,

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Genius bar told me to erase the harddisk and install OSX Maverick again. This has not changed the problems with the system settings

You need to Repartition the drive as One partition which will erase all data from it and then reinstall OS X. then with the initial setup system you chose the language on the first screen that comes up. That sets the language for the whole system.
There is no other way of completely removing certain information created by a previous owner. this hold strue whether you are selling or give a Mac to someone.
To do the repartitioning you need to use the Online Internet Recovery system, if the Mac came with Lion 10.7 or above, or from the original system reinstall discs that came with it when it was new.

I have mac book pro - OSX 10.6.8. Should i upgrade to Mountain Lion?

I've never changed operating systems for my Mac Book. Is it a good idea? Why or why not?

What model of MB do you have? Why do you want to upgrade?
Before upgrading consider:
Don't upgrade if you are in the midst of important work. Wait until you have finished.
If you are having problems with your computer get them sorted out before you upgrade.
Verify that any mission critical software will be compatible with the upgrade.
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?

I have iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2; for past 13 weeks I get message that my phone has not backed up on the cloud. Every night however the wifi is on, phone is connected to power, and screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ?

I have an iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2;
for the past 13 weeks I get the message that "this phone has not been backed up on the cloud". However, every night it is connected to wifi, phone is connected to power, and the screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ? By the way, I do not have the "back up now" option in Setting / iCloud.. Help anyone ?

Try deleting an other icloud backup and see if it will automatically backup.

Have mac book pro OSX 10.6.8 need 10.7 to run dragon what should i do

have a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 need to upgrade to 10.7 to run Dragon What is the easiest way to do this?

Go to Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info / Hardware Overview.
Check Model Identifier - the second item in the list on the right. If you have MacBook Pro3,1 or higher, and the computer has more than 2 gB RAM installed, you can install Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8) by logging in to the App Store. The cost is $20 for either upgrade.
App Store.app is in the Applications folder on your computer.
Use the same id and password as you use here.
Be aware however that some of the Apps you are running now will not be compatible with the newer OS - either one.

For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care via their web cam. This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center since. I get an error message for java webcam class not found. All of my software is up to date--suggestions?

For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care center via their web cam. This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center. I get an error message for Java plug-in 1.6.0_29 ....webcam class not found. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Sorry, don't know what else to suggest unless there's a URL to the problem stream that someone here can try. Otherwise we can't test it to try and determine what might be wrong.
BTW, make sure they're testing it with a Mac, not with a Windows system. If they test only with Windows, what they say is or is not working doesn't mean much.
Regards.

How can I get my Microsoft Outlook for MAC to work with ATT/Yahoo's email system? ATT/Yahoo is telling me they're not compatible with the MAC version...

I have tried to make my Microsoft Office for MAC's OUTLOOK program work as the default email system. But ATT/Yahoo says its service is not compatible with the MAC version of Microsoft Outlook... Has anyone been able to make it work? I can't change my ISP right now.

You might try asking your OutLook for Mac question in the Office for Mac forums. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

I have downloaded Firefox 4 and when I open Firefox again I get the message that my version is not safe from online attacks, so why?

I opened Firefox and got the message that I needed to download 4 because my version was not safe from attacks. I downloaded 4 and then I quit Firefox and reopened it, and got the same message as before. I am probably doing something incorrectly, but I have no idea what that could be.
Thanks.

The Firefox 3.5.x branch has reached end-of-life and is no longer maintained. 
You will no longer receive security updates. 
You can update Firefox via "Help > Check for Updates" or download and install the latest Firefox 3.6.x or 4.0.x version.

I am unable to sync my iPad with iTunes. I get a message telling me I do not have enough privileges for this operation

i am unable to sync my ipad 4th generation with iTunes. I get a message saying I do not have enough privileges for this operation

To be honest I'd be very tempted to ring Applecare and explain that prior to downloading iOS5 your iPod Touch worked perfectly however since downloading Apple's new iOS5 it's "bricked" therefore can they as a matter of decency try to help put things right warranty situation notwithstanding. Afterall it does appear to be one of Apple's products that has broken your previously working iPod Touch.

I have been using a Time Capsule as my modem and back up for the last 6 months, suddenly it has started flashing amber light. I have tried resetting, soft and hard, but no success. On reset, the message is that it does not have access to internet.

I have tried resetting, following instructions on Apple support.
2 amber lights are showing, saying no internet, and no dns servers.
On the same network I have direct link to TV, working fine.
The TC does not seem to be able to pick up IP address even though directly connected with Ethernet cable.
I'd appreciate any help possible.

So what kind of modem is it.. is it cable.. if so you need to power it down and leave it off for 30min or so .. maybe shorter or longer depending on the ISP.
Do a full factory reset on the TC.
The Factory Reset TC Gen1-4. Or AE Gen1-5
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Plug into the TC by ethernet from computer and setup as router .. ie dhcp and nat.. if it fails please give info on the firmware of the TC and the actual modem model number.
