I re-formatted my pc and changed its name and user name. But after formatting firefox sync is not showing my previous bookmarks.
Hi guys i Formatted my pc and after formatting now firefox is not showing my previous bookmarks
I changed my computer name and user name
and i dont remember what was previous name of my computer
Did you reset the password of the Firefox account or did you still remember the password?
The new Sync version used in Firefox 29 and later still uses a Sync key to encrypt data locally before uploading, but this Sync key is generated internally from the password of your Firefox account, so you no longer need to worry about it.
This also means that the Sync key changes when you change (reset) the password of the Firefxo account and you lose all data stored on the Sync server when doing that.

My MacBook Pro keeps making copies of a document that I am trying to save. I don't want to duplicate the file. I only want to save it on both my hard drive and my external hard drive. I do not want to change its name for every save, which the computer seems insistent on doing. Help!!

can't be saved because the file is read-only.
I did not create the file to be read-only. I created to be able to continue to add to it as I work on it.

Sounds like a permissions problem ie read only.

How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.
You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

Server keeps changing its name?
Alright well this is a strange one, my server will run for about 3 or 4 days and change its name from server.local to server-2.local. The error message will say that there is another server.local on the network.
The services that I'm running are:
AFP, NetBoot, NFS and Software Update
I tried to read through the logs for those services and i wasn't able to find anything. Can I just write an applescript to automatically change the server's name periodically? Or is there something simple I'm missing
Here is a screen shot of the error:
http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/6925/picture5jb5.pngHi Christopher,
I would suggest setting a DNS name for your server. You can search on these forms for examples of setting up DNS. (In fact, I've had problems with the software update service if the server didn't have DNS setup correctly.)
If you would like to stick with .local, try changing it's name to something completely different, like bob.local.

I used Migration Assistant about 4 months ago to move everything across to my new iMac. Since then instead of being recognised as an iMac it's seen on the network and other places as my Mac Pro.
How do I change its name to iMac?

Mac OS X 10.6.8Hello David. Open System Preferences > Sharing. At the top you will see Computer Name and the old Mac Pro name. Highlight this and change to the preferred name.
Sometimes you also need to use the Edit button under the name. But if you change the name in the first view and then press the Edit button, it should show the new name you just set. -
My iPhone 3Gs has suddently changed its name to 2012. I have restarted the iPhone, the computer (iMac Intel) and installed the latest version of iTunes (9.0.3), but the problem began with the previous version. I can sync the iPhone with iTunes and all the apps, etc. are OK. Does anybody know what could have caused this?
There are no viruses that affect or infect OS X for 10 years running now, and the iPhone runs an optimized version of OS X.
With the exception of a hacked/jailbroken iPhone, nothing can be installed on an iPhone from a recieved email or from a website except for a photo, and I'm unaware of any malware being included with a jpeg file. Unless you have hacked/jailbroken your iPhone which allows for installing unofficial software downloaded from unknown and untrusted sorces, you have nothing to worry about in regards to any malware.
Unless the name of your iPhone continues to change without any interaction on your part, more than likely just an unusual quirk. -
I have read the HT4627 but I think my original question is more specific Our new iphone5 id name is the same as an existing still in use iphone4 in the family; if I remove the devise; change its name can I then immediately associate it with the correct name.
You can change the name of a device on it via Settings > General > About > Name - you shouldn't need to remove the association and then reassociate it.

AppleScript: copy a file to a new location, changing its name
I want to copy a selected file to a new location and change its name, both location and name adjustable by the user. It would seem natural to me (a neophyte) to use the Duplicate and Choose File Name commands to do this, so this is the module I came up with:
tell application "Finder"
set myFile to the selection
set textsAlias to alias "Campidoglio:Users:jeffreyjdean:Dropbox:Tinctoris:Editing Software:TextToJS:texts:"
set fileForConversion to choose file name default name "shortname.txt" default location textsAlias
try
duplicate document file myFile to fileForConversion with replacing
on error
display dialog "Error: Unable to save file."
end try
end tell
This doesn't work. The error dialog comes up and this is the result report:
tell application "Finder"
get selection
--> {document file "12 De inventione et usu musice.txt" of folder "Edited texts" of folder "Desktop" of folder "jeffreyjdean" of folder "Users" of startup disk}
choose file name default name "shortname.txt" default location alias "Campidoglio:Users:jeffreyjdean:Dropbox:Tinctoris:Editing Software:TextToJS:texts:"
--> file "Campidoglio:Users:jeffreyjdean:Dropbox:Tinctoris:Editing Software:TextToJS:texts:shortname.txt"
-- 'core'\'clon'{ 'insh':'furl'("file://localhost/Users/jeffreyjdean/Dropbox/Tinctoris/Editing%20 Software/TextToJS/texts/shortname.txt"), 'alrp':'true'("true"), '----':'obj '{ 'form':'indx', 'want':'docf', 'seld':[ 'obj '{ 'form':'name', 'want':'docf', 'seld':'utxt'("12 De inventione et usu musice.txt"), 'from':'obj '{ 'form':'name', 'want':'cfol', 'seld':'utxt'("Edited texts"), 'from':'obj '{ 'form':'name', 'want':'cfol', 'seld':'utxt'("Desktop"), 'from':'obj '{ 'form':'name', 'want':'cfol', 's…
--> error number -1700 from {document file "12 De inventione et usu musice.txt" of folder "Edited texts" of folder "Desktop" of folder "jeffreyjdean" of folder "Users" of startup disk} to integer
display dialog "Error: Unable to save file."
--> {button returned:"OK"}
end tell
Result:
{button returned:"OK"}
Why is it telling me it can't duplicate a file to an integer? According to the AS Language Guide, the result of Choose File Name is "The selected location, as a file." How does this become an integer in my script?
That may be a side show. What I really want to work out is how to achieve the aim stated at the beginning: take a selected file (that part is working OK) and duplicate it to an arbitrary location with an arbitrary new name, decided by the user. What's the best way to go about this?
TIA,
Jeff
Message was edited by: Jeffrey DeanI think you're misinterpreting the error message.
It's not complaining about your 'Choose File Name', per se.
There are two problems with your script.
First, you:
set myFile to the selection
As far as the Finder is concerned, 'selection' is a list. It's always a list, even if only one item is selected - heck, it's still a list if no files are selected... just an empty list.
So that's the first thing the script is complaining about - you are using a list that you're trying to coerce to a file. Can't happen.
You have a couple of options here, depending on what you want to do.
You can tell the Finder to duplicate a list - it will simply duplicate all the files in the list. It has no problem with that, although you're going to run into problems when you try to set the file name(s). This highlights one of the design flaws with your script - how do you know the user only has one thing selected? At the very least you should check how many items are selected and react accordingly.
The other option is to iterate through the list, duplicating each file in turn. Again, it's not clear what you want/expect the outcome to be here - since you include 'with replacing', you'd likely end up with one file (the last one in the list) as being the named file and all other duplicates lost.
The third option is to expect there to be one item selected, and just act upon the first one - thereby ignoring multiple selections, although it's undefined as to which item is 'first' in the list.
Your call.
Once you get over the issue of identifying what you want to duplicate, the second issue with your script is how you're calling duplicate. You cannot duplicate one file to another file name. The duplicate command expects (demands?) a directory as the 'to' parameter, not a file name.
In other words, you can duplicate a file to a new directory. You cannot duplicate it to a new file name - at least not in one step. In order to do that you need to duplicate the file, then change its name (or use a shell script to do it 'under the hood').
This is complicated by the fact that it's the rename that requires you to check for duplicates, which you have to do manually.
So given the above, and assuming you expect/want one item to be selected, your script should look more like:
tell application "Finder"
set myFile to item 1 of (get selection) -- ignore multiple selections
set textsAlias to alias "Campidoglio:Users:jeffreyjdean:Dropbox:Tinctoris:Editing Software:TextToJS:texts:"
set fileForConversion to choose file name default name "shortname.txt" default location textsAlias
set fDir to do shell script "/usr/bin/dirname " & POSIX path of fileForConversion
set fName to do shell script "/usr/bin/basename " & POSIX path of fileForConversion
try
set newFile to duplicate myFile to POSIX file fDir with replacing
if (exists file fName of folder fDir) then
delete file fName of folder fDir
end if
set name of newFile to fName
on error
display dialog "Error: Unable to save file."
end try
end tell
Incidentally, this is something that could be much more easily done with a shell command, since the shell isn't as sensitive about file paths and data types. -
I had to format the C drive recently. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps. These things are available on my iPhone but are no longer there in the iTunes library. Please help.
In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

I have many contacts in address book from a certain company that just changed its name. Is there a way to globally change all the contacts to the new company name all at once?
Rando510 wrote:
Although clunky as you say, this sounds like a reasonably efficient way to accomplish what I was seeking.
Address Book has no global find/replace. Bob Grove suggested one possible workaround; however, a grep-capable text editor (eg, TextWrangler) is better than TextEdit if complex strings are involved.
An alternative is Bento (which is designed specifically to interact with the AB database), but it's not free. -
hi guys i have an ipad 1 and when i plug it in to my macbook pro picasa opens up and show its name but when i open itunes i cant find the name, ive been working my head out to solve the problem please help me:(
Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software. -

You're using Exchange Active Sync to synchronize contacts and calendars with your company Exchange Server. If the default calendar/address books are set to the Exchange account, it will sync automatically. This is normal.
Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars to change the default address book and calendars to a something else, iCloud or something synced from your home computer instead. -
