I'm using a Mac, using OS 10.4.11 and I'm trying to save a downloaded .pdf file in Firefox 3.6.10, what's the easiest way to accomplish that?

I downloaded a file from Apple, Support and it downloaded as a .pdf file.(http://support.apple.com/manuals/#powermac - item # 38 (4th page 8th item down).
I want to cut & paste that .pdf into an AppleWorks 6.2.9 word processing document. Using the select All option, so as to highlight the material on the page - I'm not allowed this option(it doesn't do it, thus I can't copy the document and paste it. It's a 7 MB download.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE39?viewlocale=en_US " How to Download Product Manuals (PDF files) states that:
Using a Mac with Firefox:
1) Click the manual you want to download. Firefox will ask if you want to open or save the document.
2) Choose Save and select a location to save the manual.
The option/process 1) didn't take place - It simply went directly to the window showing that the download was taking place and that window shows what is being D/L and a progress bar.
In the preference options -->General I have selected "Save files to: Desktop". I have not selected /√ "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file", however, that is exactly what happens.
Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.

As you have a Power Mac you also have a alternative option to consider which is a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html

    No.
    All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
    When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
    The same applies here.

    I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    What do you not understand?
    You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
    Or
    However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
    you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.

    What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player?  I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music.  Thanks.

    I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.

  • Using RH10 - what's the easiest way to create and save HTML code as a snippet for later re-use?

    I am using RH10 to maintain and update several WebHelp projects for customer-facing Internet applications. I am noticing inconsistencies in css and html so I would like to create several snippets for later re-use.  My wishlist, so far:  FAQ page with internal bookmarks, product image with table of callouts, and basic page template with corporate header and footer. What's the easiest way to save / export a page that I want to use later as a snippet? Thank you.

    Have you thought about using the Resource Manager?

    What is the easiest way to restore my ipod back to factory specs. It has a red circle with a red x in the middle,please help me to fix my ipod, until now i can't use my ipod..i tried all the procedures in Restore ipod from disk mode but still not working, please help me...

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • HT1329 I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer.  I don't see any of my playlists on the new computer.  What is the easiest way to transfer my playlists without having to recreate each one?

    I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer, so the new one has a totally different user interface.  I signed on to my account and saw my music but I have no playlists on the new computer.  What's the easiest way to replicate or restore my playlists as I had them in the old computer and in my iPod?

    OK, thanks for the response.  I'm copying it onto a memory stick to transfer it to the new computer.  Still have two questions:
    1. Since there is already an iTunes folder on the new computer, created when iTunes was downloaded, where exactly do I copy the old folder onto the computer so that iTunes can find it?  In the old interface, there used to be a field where one could designate the path to find music and I don't see that in the new interface.
    Assuming the above takes care of putting my playlists onto the new computer...
    2.  How do I add music that is currently stored in a back up file but was not on my old computer's drive?  I'm worried that I would have to add these one by one somehow, and there are a lot of songs.
    Thanks again.

  • HT1338 My Mac Book Pro is currently runnng OS X v10.5.8. When I check for updates by clicking the apple icon it tells me that my computer is up to date.  What is the easiest way to upgrade to OS X Lion?  Do I need to get OS X Snow Leopard first?

    My Mac Book Pro is currently runnng OS X v10.5.8. When I check for updates by clicking the apple icon it tells me that my computer is up to date.  What is the easiest way to upgrade to OS X Lion?  Do I need to get OS X Snow Leopard first?

    Yes, there's been no updates to 10.5.8 for quite awhile, next is paid Upgrades.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • What is the easiest way to convert .MTS files for use in Final Cut Express

    I initially downloaded my Sony Alpha7 files into iMovie. As the production requires a little more professional software I then tried to import files into Final Cut Express. As these are now .MTS files what is the easiest way of converting them?

    Hey Martin et al,
    Related question...
    After you convert files from M2TS or MP4 into something usable in FCE can you trash the original M2ts/mp4 files ?
    I recently used Mpeg Streamclip to convert Mp4 into AIC for FCE for example..
    Is there a general rule of when you have to save original files so everything works in FCE?
    I'm running out of HD space.
    Thanks a lot,

  • What's the best way to detect that text fits into ContainerControllers without scrolling?

    Hi.
    Question
    What's the best way to detect that text typed by user (or added programmatically) exceeds available container space and find out where starts truncated part? Is there available some other (than described bellow) easy way to detect it or disallow set of controllers to receive more characters that can be displayed in given composition area?
    My partialy failed attempt (simplified)
    For example lets say that I've got an editable textflow with attached two instances of ContainerController.
    var flow:TextFlow = createSomeFlowFromGivenString(sampleText),
        firstController = new ContainerController(firstSprite, 100, 30),
        lastController = new ContainerController(secondSprite, 600, 30);
    flow.interactionManager = new EditManager(new UndoManager());
    flow.flowComposer.addController(firstController);
    flow.flowComposer.addController(lastController);
    flow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
    With enabled vertical scroll policy I can compare height of the composition in last controller with height of the content:
    var bounds:Rectangle = lastController.getContentBounds(),
        overflow:Boolean =  lastController.compositionHeight < bounds.height;
    trace('Content does not fit into given area?', overflow)
    But when I switch vertical scroll policy off (lastController.verticalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.OFF) - unfortunately this no longer works...(In my case scrolling should be dissabled, since text areas might have only one line with restricted width)
    Use case
    I want to create fillable form. Field might have a single or multiple lines. One field might start in the middle of the page, continue in the next line where it spreads through whole page and end in the - quarter of page width long  - third line. Text typed by the user can't exceed given area since it might cover some static text that sits right after/below field.
    Something like ascii image bellow:
    |                <PAGE>                    |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    |               [Field starts here........ | 
    | ........................................ |
    | ........................................ |
    | Ends here..]                             |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    | [Another field] xxxx  xxxx xxxxxxxx x xx |
    | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx                      |
    |                                          |
    |                              [One more.. |
    | .....]                                   |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    |                                          |
    Info:
    [......]  <-- form fields starts with '[' character, and ends with ']'
    xxx       <-- sample, static text
    | and _   <-- page borders

    I've tried something like that previously, but it didn't work because then I've got vertical scroll policy to set to 'auto'. After changing verticalScrollPolicy to ScrollPolicy.OFF  in the last container it worked like a charm.
    Thanks zhen bian

  • What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?

    Using Iwork 09 I have spent several hours setting up a mail merge from a spread sheet in Numbers to create receipts for my customers from a Pages template.
    After the merge I am left with one long Pages document that will not save as separate files; one per customer, it will only save the whole document of several receipts.
    What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Mr. Clark,
    You will probably be more pleased with the iWork apps when you begin to learn your way around. Until you learn such basic things as how to print only one page of a document, you will probably continue to be disappointed.
    Does your Print dialog look like this:
    Or like this:
    If it looks like the first one, then you will want to click this expander control:
