I'm Firefox user from years, but what is the point to go from version 3 to version 7 in just months? This is not serious

This is not troubleshoot, just a question from what it is strange form me and made me lose support to Firefox

  • I've been a Firefox user for years but I can't complete new Firefox download. The actual download goes well, but then I'm told to move Firefox icon into applications folder when prompted, but I don't get prompted.

    I've been a Firefox user for years, but now you offer me a new version and I can't complete the installation process. The initial download goes well but then I'm instructed to move the icon into my applications folder when prompted and I don't get prompted. Nothing whatever happens. What am I doing wrong?

    We are not around here 24 hours, so you may need to wait for a response.
    The DMG (disk image) file is the Firefox installation file that you can download from the Mozilla site and save to your desktop. You can double click that file to open the image.
    From [[Installing Firefox on Mac]]:
    * Once the download has completed, the disk image may open by itself and mount a new volume which contains the Firefox application. If you do not see the new volume, double-click the Firefox dmg icon to open it.
    * A Finder window appears, containing the Firefox application. Drag the Firefox Icon into the Applications folder.

  • HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

    If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
    Or am I missing the bigger picture?

    As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

  • AirPlay: forgive me but what's the point?

    In our place we have a first generation Apple TV, a few Macs, a couple iPhones, and an iPad. We use our iMac to stream and sync content to Apple TV. Anything we put on our iPad/iPhones content-wise almost always comes from our iMac where everything is stored.
    I'm wondering, what's the point of AirPlay in this scenario? I mean, why would I ever want or need to stream to Apple TV from an iPad or iPhone when all my stuff is stored on my iMac anyway? I'm having a hard time understanding the point of AirPlay, unless it's all about streaming content to OTHER people's Apple TVs when you are away from home... but I don't know if this is even possible.

    Well, if absolutely all the photo/video content on your iPhones already exists in iTunes on your imac, then there is no point to Airplay for you.
    Myself, I'll be using it to Airplay photos to my big-screen TV from my iPhone 4. I only synch my phone to iTunes maybe once ever 3-4 weeks, so it will be great to snap a photo of my 7-month old son and instantly stream it straight to my TV, without having to plug my phone into my computer, import the photos into iPhoto, and then navigate to the homeshared photo event on my apple tv. Just one button (airplay) on the photo in your iPhone photos app, and it's on the TV. I already tested this and it's great.
    And yes, if you ever bring your iphone over to someone else's house and want to show some pics that are on your phone, you can easily do that. Any iOS device will stream to any Airplay device (like ATV) as long as the two devices are on the same wi-fi network. It is possible to setup a password on your apple tv (2nd gen) so that someone with an iOS device must enter the password before being permitted to airplay content to the ATV, but if you don't enable that password then it is a one-touch process to stream your photos.
    That said, one feature I thought Airplay would enable, which it apparently doesn't, is the ability to stream the videos in your iPhone's "Photos" app to the ATV. You can airplay the still photos to show a slide show, no problem. But there is simply no airplay button on the videos in your photos app. This is disappointing since I was looking forward to being able to shoot a short video and then instantly stream it to my ATV to show off to my wife or visitors. Apparently, this feature is not enabled.

  • What is the point of having a smartphone if nothing ever works?

    Before my GS3 updated to kitkat my apps would crash all the time. My phone updated last week and now the apps work but in what used to be areas with strong steady 4g coverage I have no data. So annoyed. I can turn my data on and without touching it I'll have 4g for a minute and then none before coming back for 5 seconds only to go out again. What am I paying for?  My office doesn't have wifi and I have a large data allowance but what is the point if I can never use it?  I do a lot of travelling and use my phone as a GPS but as I have no no longer have reliable service anywhere even in Philadelphia where it was a constant 4g.  Not to mention the GPS is unreliable as well. Waze is an amazing GPS but to have a phone that doesn't work half the time is frustrating. I should just go back to my old flip phone that lasted me 2 days on a single charge. My phone is due for an upgrade in a few months. Maybe I'll save some money and get something that isn't a smartphone and I won't have to worry about paying for the data and everything else that comes with having a smartphone.

    I can understand that Verizon did not make the phone.  My satellite provider did not make the dish nor the receiver I use either, but if they malfunction and make it to where I cannot receive their service (the satellite signal) then the satellite provider assists in getting equipment that works.  If it is a software issue, they have more sway with the provider of said software, as the representative and mass user of the software, than individual customers do.  So if Verizon is receiving multiple complaints from their customers, complaints that their customers are unable to use the service that they are being paid to provide, then they can go to manufacturer to request the fix.  Who do you think Google or Samsung is going to listen to more, an individual who received a phone from a 3rd party (Verizon) or the entire company who purchases those items (phones and software) en-masse and thus can more affect their bottom line?  As another example... when you purchase a car and the seatbelt malfunctions, do you go to the seatbelt manufacturer or back to the car maker?  Should each person who has a seatbelt malfunction go to the seatbelt maker or should the car maker issue a recall on all affected vehicles and offer a fix, provided from the seatbelt maker?  When I go back to Samsung or Google, and IF they listen to me and initiate a fix, what priority is Verizon going to make it to get it out to their customers?  Or is Verizon relying upon each disgruntled user to go find their own fix without it affecting them (Verizon) at all?  Other service providers have already started issuing fixes according to my research... and if Verizon delayed pushing this update out for so long (as I've seen complaints that it was), why did they push it with these known issues and not insist before they pushed it out that Google or Samsung fix it first so as not to get these complaints?  Sorry, but Verizon is at least partially responsible for my inability to use their service, as the provider of the equipment and software that I need to be able to utilize their services.  I didn't go out on the black market and purchase this phone, I bought it at a Verizon store.  I have not rooted the phone or in any way done anything other than add about 6 apps to the phone from the way it was provided to me by the store, and their required update - pushed across their cellular and data service - is what has resulted in my phone no longer being functioning.  So yes, while Verizon may not manufacture the phone or the software, they are in fact the provider of said items to me and thus are responsible, and should be pushing back to Google or Samsung to get a fix for their customers.  I was hoping to hear that Verizon was doing just that, but it does not appear to be the case.... Yes, other providers may be having the same issue, but I've seen them working with their customers to get a solution, providing CUSTOMER SERVICE to their customers, and that is all that I and others like me, have been looking for from Verizon in this kitkat fiasco and which they have been failing at.

  • AVCHD/ HDV- What's the point

    This is probably as stupid as it sounds, but it suddenly struck me today, but what is the point of having AVCHD/ HDV compatibility and editing on FCE/ FCP if you can only burn the projects onto a standard def DVD? Does FCE give you any other options in tems of what you do with your freshly edited High Def content? Do you lose a heap of quality when you burn it to DVD?

    hey there qsack,
    in the USN i was told the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask. you can send your HDV project back to tape in your cam to watch on your HDTV... the shoot/edit/distribute flow that we have in DV, is not yet ready w/ HDV, partly because of the cost of the burners & the R&D to develop the authoring software for mass commercial use(make it simple enough for average users as w/ iDVD). also the major studios are probably closely guarding the technology in part due concerns about piracy, also the HD-disc format war thing.... these are just some of the speculations on why we can't yet burn our HD movies to disc.
    i've burned some of my HDV content to SD discs & they look pretty good, because i had good lighting to start with. though i dropped down a lot in terms of res from 1080i to 480p. i was okay w/ the results & as w/ most graphic types be it print, photo or video, it's usually better to start out w/ more or larger(1080/720) & if you have to shrink it(480) you still have a decent image rather than have a small image & try to scale up. for example--a photo from a 10 megapixel DSLR "RAW" file will still have a lot of detail & look good when it gets down-converted to a JPEG vs. a photo from a 2 megapixel phone camera that starts as a JPEG.

  • What's the point of redo logs?

    Why does Oracle bother writing everything to redo logs? If it's going to write data changes to the disk, why not just write them once to the data files and be done with it? What's the point of doing it twice? And if it's a redundancy thing, why not mirror the data disks?

    Hemant K Chitale wrote:
    How would you backup a database while it is in use ? You can't lock all the datafiles to prevent writes to them. Yet, transactions may be updating different blocks in different datafiles even as the backup is in progress. Say your backup starts with datafile 1 (or even datafiles 1,2,3,4 in parallel) at time t0. By time t5, it has copied 20% of the datafile to tape or alternate disk backup location. Along comes a transaction that updates the 100th block (somewhere within the 10-11% range) of datafile 1 and also the 60th block of datafile 5. Meanwhile, the backup continues running, already having taken a prior image of the 100th block and not being aware that the block has been changed. At time t25 it completes datafile 1 (or datafiles 1,2,3,4) and starts backing up datafile 5. Now, when it copies the 60th block of datafile 5, it (the backup utility) doesn't know that this block is inconsistent with the backup image of the 100th block of datafile 1.
    Instead of 1 transaction imagine 100 or 1000 transactions occurring while the backup is running.
    Surely, Oracle must be able to regenerate a consistent image of the whole database when it is restored ?
    That is what the Redo stream provides. The Redo stream is written to Archivelogs so that it can be backed up -- no Archivelog file is "in flux" (particularly if you use RMAN to backup the Archivelogs as well !).
    Had Oracle been merely writing to the datafiles alone, without a Redo stream, there is no way it could recreate a consistent database -- whether after Crash Recovery OR after Media Recovery.Interesting point about how redo logs facilitate backups. So what you're saying is that the redo logs help keep the data in the actual data files in a consistent state by only writing full transactions to them at a time. Presumably Oracle will either write out the redo log data to the data files before a backup or will at least prevent the redo logs from writing to the data files during a backup. I always wondered how databases got around that problem of keeping the system available for writing during a backup. I wonder how SQL Server does it.
    Hemant K Chitale wrote:
    Now, approach this from another angle. A database consists of 10 or 100 or 500 datafiles. You have 10 or 100 or 1000 sessions issuing COMMITs to complete their transactions, which could be of 1 row or 100 rows or 1million rows, each transaction of a different size. Should the 1000 sessions be forced to wait while Oracle writes all those updated blocks to disk in different datafiles -- how many blocks can it write in "an instant" ?
    But what if Oracle manages to write much less information -- the bare minimum (called "change vectors") to re-play every transaction to a single file serially ? That would be much faster. Imagine writing to 500 datafiles concurrently, having to open the file, progess to the required block address and update the block, for each block changed in each file VERSUS writing much lesser information serially to a single file -- if the file is full, switch to another file, but keep writing serially.As to your second point, I don't really have a good enough understanding about the format of redo logs vs. the data files to follow you totally. Are you saying that it takes more time to write to the data files because you have to find the proper place in the B-Tree before you can write to it? And that doing that is slower than just opening the redo log and always appending new information to the very end? Maybe so, but it seems like all transactions having to write to a single redo log in serial would slow things down since there would be a ton of contention for one file. Whereas with the data files, you could potentially have several transactions writing to different files simultaneously (provided you hardware would support doing that). And it seems to me like a change vector would contain a lot more information than a field value, but, like I said, I'm not really familiar with the format.

  • Seriously, what is the point in Firefox 29 in removing from Sync the ability to copy all the settings on Device A to Device B?

    Sync used to work, albeit clunkily before Firefox 29. Now it does nothing at all in Firefox 29. What is the point? Bring back Sync functionality so we can copy all the tabs, bookmarks, passwords, and history from Device A to Device B.

    Tyler - Yes I have, yes they are, and yes they are.
    No, Sync is very different in Firefox 29. Before, you could pair a device and specify that you want copy all the tabs, history, bookmarks, and passwords on Device A to Device B and it would do it. It worked. Now in Firefox 29 you upgrade, you log in, you ask it to Sync and nothing happens. It does not work.

  • HT2305 I want to upgrade IMovie, IPhoto, Garageband and ITunes. My MacBookAir is one year old. But what are the prices for updates?

    My MacBookAir is one year. I want to upgrade IMovie, IPhoto, Garageband and ITues, But What are the prices for these upgrades. How do I get around?

    Actually, if you are updating the free iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie & GarageBand) that came with your new Mac, the updates are free. Only if you are upgrading to newer major paid versions would you be charged.
    iTunes is always free, but is located in Apple Downloads, not the Mac App Store;

  • Deleting AD users vs Disabling. What is the difference? If an account is disabled, can it still be setup for mail forwarding to another user? If an account is deleted, what files get deleted?

    Deleting AD users vs Disabling.  What is the difference?  If an account is disabled, can it still be setup for mail forwarding to another user? If an account is deleted, what files get deleted?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Disable Users: Nobody can log in to the mailbox, but the data is safe and it can receive email. Once it is enabled, it is back to normal.
    Delete Users: when the user is deleted all the services are removed and all data is erased. The user is deleted from our Active Directory. If you create a user with the same Name and Emial address again, no data or services are recovered.
    If you disable a user, the Active Directory object remains untouched together with the mailbox data and properties, but you will not be able to access any mailbox data.
    If you delete a user, the Active Directory object is removed together with all data and properties of the user.
    Hope it helps.

    i want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd? Can i use idvd?

    The only Programms I worked with are DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. You can burn a Video-DVD with Toast but  there is no real option to design your Menu. Just a few themes as far as I discovered.
    Do you have a Blue Ray Device to burn* the HD-DVD? Are the Bride and Groom able to watch the Blue Ray?
    * which is only possible with DVD Studio Pro and not iMovie as far as I know.
    This might help
    For better quality I would go the Compressor & DVD Studio Pro workflow I just learned.
    Export the Movie as is from Final Cut Pro and then use Compressor to encode the File.
    Consider delivering the Movie in a different way like a private video on vimeo, a Website or on an SD card which is not really romantic...
