  • I installed version 3.6.13 and discovered that my favorite search engines (Bing and Startpage) were not compatible with this version. Can this incompatibility be rectified?

    I installed version 3.6.13 and discovered that my favorite search engines (Bing and Startpage) were not compatible with this version. Can this incompatibility be rectified?

    Makes enough sense and I thought it might be a profile issue, but only after the fact, so why does is not say this upfront ...
    In the release notes I find this about installation:
    -- and exactly what I read:
    [[http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0b7/releasenotes/]]
    Installing
    Please note that installing Firefox 4 Beta will not overwrite your existing installation of Firefox. You won’t lose any of your bookmarks or browsing history, but some of your extensions and other add-ons might not work until updates for them are made available.
    nothing more nothing less... nowhere in that installation process does it say, state or imply -- Create a new profile first -- or see xxxxx article about using betas /pre-release, etc...
    Well, I could cry about it more, but I guess not too many other people have had this problem, I did search a bit before posting my question , and I consider myself pretty competent about this kind of stuff..
    Next task ... ... ... Is there any place a backup is stored in the profile folders that have maybe my 3.6.12 Extensions and Extensions settings????
    I know the main folder is located here " %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ "
    but I am not currently on that particular PC to look at it to see if I can figure it out myself.
    So any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!!
    I may have a backup created recently with MozBackup 1.4.10, but again I will have to look on that PC when I get back there tomorrow... ... ...
    So any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!!
    Thanks for your time

  • I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    How do you add musci to the Iphone?  I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • I just installed version 7 of Firefox and afterwards it told me my security module for my firm's bank account was disabled. Now I can't access my account and the bank is in Brazil. I MUST make transactions from the US. How can I go back?

    I just intalled version 7 of firefox and afterwards it told me it had disabled a security module for access to my bank account. The account and my company are in Brazil and I am in the US. I must have access to perform transactions. Had the program warned me I would not have "upgraded". To reinstall the security module I must be physically in Brazil because a code is text messaged to my local cell phone as one of the securty precautions and I am in the US and Europe for t3 to 4 weeks. I need to make a wire transfer during that time and cannot do so now. How can I go back to the old version and recover the bank access? Thank you.

    You can download last Firefox 6 version from [http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-6.0/ Here]

  • HT5037 I have just installed version 10.8.3 to our imac and now I can't open iPhoto.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I tried to upgrade it but it dosen't work

    Hello
    We recently installed version 10.8.3 to our 2 year old mac and now we could'nt open iphoto, it told us to install library upgrader, so we did and it still won't work.  any suggestions.?
    thank you in advance

    it told us to install library upgrader, so we did and it still won't work. 
    And have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader after you installed it? First run it, to prepare your iPhotLibrary for upgrading, and then launch iPhoto again to complete the upgrade of your library.
    Regards

  • I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard, I now can't open Photoshop?

    Hi everyone, I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard. The installation went smooth and woks well. Now I find that Ican't open either Photoshop CS or Microsoft Word. I upgraded in order to install Lightroom 5, obviously there is now an incompatability, is there a work around?

    If that is the original Photoshop CS, and Word 2004 or earlier, then they won't open because Lion and Mountain Lion do not support PowerPC apps. They must be Intel code. Snow Leopard could run them because it included Rosetta, a PowerPC to Intel (and back) interpreter.
    You have a few options.
    1) Go back to Snow Leopard.
    2) Update your apps to compatible versions.
    3) If you have Mountain Lion because newer apps require it then:
    a) Install Snow Leopard Server (currently being sold by Apple for $20) in a VM such as Parallels, and then run your PPC apps in the VM.
    b) Install Snow Leopard on a separate partition and boot to that version of OS X when you need to use those older apps.

  • Just installed HP BIOS Update. HP 6110 all in one printer no longer works.

    Just installed HP BIOS Update.  System no longer recognizes my printer (6110 all-in-one).  HP web site says driver is in OS and should be recognized, but only driver that is close is 6100 series and it does not work. 

    Hey thecityhouse,
    When you are selecting the driver from the available drivers list did you make sure to press the Windows Update button at the bottom right to prepopulate the list?  This may have to be performed to get the proper driver for your printer.
    If this does not work, then I would take a look at the information in the post found here.  It may provide a workaround to the issue you are experiencing.
    Hope this helps,
    Jason

  • I just installed ios8 on my ipad. its is now asking me to rerstore my ipad on itunes to a factory restore and that all my data and photos will be lost. how can I reverse this?

         I just installed the new IOS 8 . My I pad is now asking me to plug into ITunes . Once I plugged into ITunes I get a message to restore to it's factory settings.
    will I lose all my data. photographs etc

    You can do a factory restore and then restore from a backup after you've upgraded.  I just did this with my mom's iPad, but you had to have either an iTunes backup or iCloud backup to do the restore.  If you don't have the backup, could be that a lot of your apps and music are still available, but your settings are lost.  Your most recent 1000 pics or so would still be in photostream, so you'd want to rescue them back to your recent pictures folder.  Your mail, contacts, reminders, notes, are all already probably in icloud or another cloud provider for those services, just need to reenter your login information.  If you do secure backups, a lot of the setup is restored, without backup, you'd need to log back in to those services like twitter, facebook, etc to see your info there.

  • I just installed ios8.0 on my iPad, and now I can't preview my content in iBooks Author. What does "No ATC" mean? That's the message I get.

    I just installed iOS 8.0 on my iPad, and now I can't preview my content on iBooks Author. I get the message "No ATC". What does that mean?

    I am geting the same message when updating to IOS-5.  "Please re-insert you SIM, or visit your carrier store to receive a replacement SIM card."  Unfortunately we are stuck as well and I have not found anyone yet to give a solution???  Will end up going to Apple tomorrow :-(

  • Vista Ultimate, Firefox 4.01 just installed. The back and forward buttons do not work with this new installation. Help please.

    O?S is Vista Ultimate 32 bit fully updated. I have just installed Firefox 4.01. I have lost use of back and forward buttons - they are greyed out. Is there a solution please?

    It is possible to have earlier data in a tab if the latest tab had target="_top" that means the back key will not work, but if your right-click on the back/forward you see a context menu. As far as I know the only difference between 3.6 and 4.0 ws that the drop-down arrow was dropped but like before you can still right-click.
    There are some extensions that mess with the Back/Forward buttons.
    There is a difference between gray and '''black''' on the buttons, '''black''' means there is history in that direction.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
