Hi!
Unfortunately the communication with iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) is only in one direction: data from your computers will go to your iPad but not the other way around.
That's a limitation of Firefox Home.

  • I want to transfer files from a functioning hard drive in a nonfunctioning MacBook Pro to an external drive. I have an IDE/SATA drive adapter. The files won't fit on the drive for a working computer I have. Can I use it to transfer files to the external?

    Good luck and you are welcome.
    Like I said, I bought one of their inexpensive enclosures and now can use the hard drive just as a source for the files that are on it...my external drives are much larger and faster so I just plug that drive in when I need something from it.

  • If Firefox is set as the default browser, and any application attempts to open a new window, this fails and I get the error "Firefox is already running..."

    Here is what I am running:
    Microsoft Windows 7, Service Pack 1, Fully updated to 4/10/2012
    Fresh Install of Firefox 11. No add-ons enabled as a result of troubleshooting.
    I am a user with administrator rights
    UAS is disabled.
    To begin, this has been going on Since Firefox 10 or so. A few months now.
    I am able to open Firefox. My add-ons worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, 4chan extension) had no problems. Firefox is set and has been set for the last two years as my default web browser.
    However Since approximately Firefox 10 or so, maybe before that, If I have a Firefox session open, and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running, but not responding error."
    I attempted to follow troubleshooting advice already posted (look for parent.lock files left behind [none present], multiple sessionstore.js files [none present], create a new user profile, attempted to clear out the "read-only" permission in windows 7, however as soon as it is cleared, the read only permission returns.)
    As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the %APPDATA%/Mozilla directory in its entirety, then utilized CCleaner to remove any and all references to Firefox in the windows registry, then did a full re-install, no extensions installed right now.
    I checked preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked off. The problem persists regardless if this option is checked on or off. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the brand new install.
    Test Cases:
    All cases:
    Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7
    Case 1: Open a firefox session. Utilize any other program that attempts to open a link to their website in a new browser window or new browser session. Experience "Firefox is already running" error
    Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox on the task bar. Select "open in new window". Experience "Firefox is already running" error
    Case 3: Open a firefox session. Select the Firefox Menu > New tab > New Window. A new window will actually open.
    This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.

    Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
    Marking case: Solved
    Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable.

  • When I have all Firefox windows minimized, and am using another program or am idle, the Firefox windows keeping randomly popping up. How can I stop this behaviour?

    I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.2. When I have all Firefox windows minimized and am working in another program, the Firefox windows just randomly open in front of my other app and interrupt me. I have to minimize them again. It is extremely distracting and annoying, and often interrupts in the middle of something important. How can I stop Firefox from doing this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • ITunes update removes essential software from my computer, which means I can't use the Internet.

    Two days ago, I updated iTunes to the latest version, but it appears that during the installation, vital software was removed from my computer. The result was that I couldn't access the Internet after the installation. I then did a system restore to get my computer back to how it was before I installed the new iTunes, with the result that the essential Internet file is back, but I can no longer open iTunes. I am getting the message that I need to change to the English version! I never selected any other version during the installation and in any case there was no such option.  I simply pressed the "Download update" from within iTunes.
    I have tried re-installing iTunes, but I keep getting the same result and have to keep reverting so that I can use the Internet.  Has anyone come across this problem? How do I resolve it?

    Okay than this definitely was not Apple. Apple support techs never have access to your mouse. It sounds like this company installed some software on your Mac. It is hard to tell what their intentions are but just assume in these situations that all your data was compromised. Possibly all your online accounts have been compromised such as social networks, banks, etc.. The smartest thing to do would be to change all of your passwords and reinstall OS X on your Mac. It sounds extreme but that's what happens when a 3rd party company gains control of your computer.

  • I cannot get my email on my iphone4 ever since I had the recent iCloud upgrade. Very frustrating.  How can I correct this?, I cannot get my email on my iphone4 ever since I had the recent iCloud upgrade. Very frustrating.  How can I correct this?

    I cannot receive or send any email on my iphone4 since I installed the "upgrade" recently! Very frustrating! How can I correct this. It also happened to my iPad but this corrected itself in a few days?

    It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
    I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • How can I use Automator or AppleScript to get text from a web page and paste it in execl?

    I don't know how to make scripts or complexed automator workflows... that's why I'm asking.
    I'm trying to make a simple app or script to ask me what text to extract from a web page, like name, address and phone number of a web page and paste each one of these data in the righ cell of excel.
    I was thinking to promt a request from automator or an applescript to ask me which text to extract from the page or to look throught the HTML of the page to search for specific html tags, from which extracting text and then importing it, or paste it to the specified execl cell. Name in the name cell, address in the address cell and so on.
    Can somebody help me to make this script?
    If you know an alternative, like a software that already do this or another language to use, please tell.

    Try holding down the alt key as you mark the text to be copied. You can then copy columns to table text.

  • "You can be reached by iMessage at" the email is grey colored. Why and how can I use this email to receive iMessages?

    When trying to select an email address to receive iMessages I can't seem to select an email. It's in a light grey color. I can't figure out how to get it to be in a normal color so I can highlight it to use for iMessages. It's my son's iPod Touch and his iPod Touch is hooked up to my account. Does this make a difference. I have most of the iCloud stuff turned off so we don't have to share a lot of stuff.

  • When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X

    When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X

    On the MacBook, open up the Preferences dialog and go to the Sync panel. Click the Manage Account button so it shows more options, then click on the My Sync Key link to show you the Sync Key.
    The sync key is the same as the secret phrase, it was renamed in recent versions of Firefox Sync.

    Hi eddinchina,
    You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
    As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
    You may use the same email address with both accounts.

  • I am trying to install the Firefox Sync add-on on my desktopin order to install Firefox on my ipod touch 4g but I can't locate the link to create an ID, password & secret phrase.Where is this ?

    This is the instruction email i recd:
    Greetings!
    Follow these five steps to set up Firefox Home and get access to your desktop Firefox history, bookmarks and even your open tabs on your iPhone:
    1.
    Install the free Firefox Sync add-on on your desktop.
    Firefox Home uses the sync capabilities from the Firefox Sync add-on to access your Firefox browser information and securely send it to your iPhone.
    2.
    Once Firefox restarts, follow the prompts to create an account with both a password and a Secret Phrase.
    Firefox Home uses your Secret Phrase to locally encrypt and protect your information.
    3.
    Firefox Sync will now begin securely synchronizing your data with our service. This initial synchronization may take up to 20 minutes.
    Firefox Sync will only work if you are not in Private Browsing mode. Once your initial synchronization is complete, you'll see a Last Update time in the Tools > Sync menu.
    4.
    To complete the setup, on your iPhone enter your account, password and Secret Phrase in the field provided and tap 'Done' on the keypad.
    If you're having trouble logging in, click here for help.
    5.
    Once complete you will be able to access your desktop bookmarks, history, and open tabs on your iPhone.
    If your data is not showing up, click here for help.

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
    You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
    [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
    You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.
