I thought Sync would allow me to migrate settings to a new browser on a different laptop, but I can't make it happen.

My old laptop works but is being borrowed and the user account on which my Firefox profile is stored is locked and I don't want to open it for the person who is using the laptop.
I thought Sync would allow me to access those old settings for a new laptop I have with Firefox. Is this possible?

Still it does not work, maybe I am not making myself clear, here goes.
It will allow me to login into my sync account on my Mac.
It will allow me to login to my sync account on-line.
It will not le me login to my sync account on my windows 8.1 laptop, it does not recognise my login information and asks me to create an account.
So sticking to my initial post Firefox sync is pants, it does not do what it is supposed to do sync data between to computers.
By the way I have still had no response from Mozilla, so any help form here would be good.

How would I be able to bring the GHz and memory up on an Air? How can I make it badass?

How would I be able to bring the GHz and memory up on an Air? How can I make it badass?

I should clarify a point ...
Macbook Air solders memory onto the motherboard. It cannot be upgraded.
Macbook Pro has memory slots that allow SODIMMs (the memory cards) to be replaced, up to the limit of the motherboard.
My 15 in MBP can upgrade to 16 GB. But 16 GB for my machine is still $600 at cheapest. I will be staying at 8 GB for a while.

I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

In System Preferences > Mission Control, uncheck mark Displays have seperate windows. This should bring you back to the secondary display you had before the upgrade. You may have to open Mail, the first time and place it on your secondary display. You also won't have the advantages of the dock and menus on the secondary display.
I keep my own secondary display with these settings because I need the ability to expand a window across both displays.

I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen

I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen.

Go to System Preferences>Sound>Output and make sure that you selected the right output. I think if yo use HDMI you might not be abe to select another output.

I changed out my old cell phone for a Motorola zoom and now the zoom has my old phone number associated with it's sim card. I just purchased a Samsung Android cell phone and would like to trade the sim from my new to cell to the zoom so I can have my old cell phone number back. The problem is the sim cards are different sizes. Is this something I can take to a store and get switched out?

SRCLARK,
Great question! You can go to the store and get a replacement SIM card at the store. Any corporate store will be more than happy to help replacing your card. http://bit.ly/3SdsA

HT4890 I had a new I phone and I turned on iCloud and photostream , then only some photos from my old iPhone that I thought it was stored to my iCloud appeared in my new iPhone not all the old photos what can I do to restore my photos

I had a new I phone and I turned on iCloud and photostream , then only some photos from my old iPhone that I thought it was stored to my iCloud appeared in my new iPhone not all the old photos what can I do to restore my photos

Can you just back-up the old phone to iTunes and restore it from there?

You know... I thought it would be easy to migrate ...

My life was a happy place. I had an E72, I had Nokia Suite and I had my own mail server. These three things all talked to each other.
My mail would come to my phone and I could sync my calendar to my mail server (for a backup E72 - Control Panel - phone - sync) and that would work both ways so if someone added an appointment to my calendar it would appear on my phone.
If I got a text whilst I was working at the computer a little icon would appear at the bottom of the screen and I could just reply from the computer.
I could organise all my phone contacts in PC Suite, assigning lots of them to groups in one simple click. These groups had their own ring tones so I could tell if it was a friend calling and could be ignored whilst working or a business call that should probably be taken.
PC Suite would pull any pics or videos off my phone and put them on my computer.
Now I have my Lumia 800. What a nice phone this is......
Getting my contacts across to my phone was quite easy with the 'contacts transfer' facility..... But now all the groups are gone. And how do I go about recreating them... One click at a time on the phone... I don't think so with over 900 contacts in the address book.
My Calendar... This was my brain, everything I had to remember went in here. Appointments, do this, be here. Also I keep the diary for years so I can check when last I did that, went there etc. I can't copy that across because there isn't a 'calendar transfer' facility. I can export it from PC Suite as a vcf/csv/vcs but I can't get that on to the phone or into my live account (not that I really want it on my live account as I have my own mail server, Mdeamon, that will play outlook if it wants to and my other colleagues use it for reminders and such).
So life is a bit ragged at the moment. I'm carrying two phones.. the L800 to make calls on and the E72 for the diary.
Anybody got any suggestions about this?
Cheers,
Marcus

I have a problem... I want to transfer my contacts from Nokia N9 to a new Nokia Lumia 925, what I am trying to do is to transfer all my contacts (contacts which have multiple numbers under their contact name) over to my Lumia 925 - And I know what you will suggest......
- Transfer contact app - Done that, does not work (only for some of the numbers but not multiple numbers)
- Export the contacts from Nokia Suite to desktop (Vcard format) and converting the files to .CSV. I then uploaded the .CSV file to outlook.com account. However, that did not solve my problem. Still outlook 2010 can not take more than one number per contact in Vcard format either.
- Copying the contacts to the SIM card - Not possible as the SIM is full already (I have 700 contacts).
- I have tried to drag and drop the contacts from the Nokia N9 to the Lumia when they were connceted via the PC. It did not work!
- I tried to conncet the Lumia 925 to the Nokia Suite so I could back up and sync the contacts to the Lumia. DID not work either as they are not compatible.
- I have tried to sync the numbers from the N9 to the Nokia Suite and then extracting the numbers. Did not work as N9 is not compatible with Nokia Suite(?) (error message comes up).
- I have tried to download Nokia OVI Suite but then again it is actually Nokia Suite that gets downloaded and I am back to the beginning.
I am running out of options and IDEAS now. I do not want to think about even getting started with doing it all manually. Why would there be an option to save multiple numbers under the label "other" when you can't transfer it!! telling your customers to input them manually is just to much work, making phones that does not support each other is beyond me...

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.

I thought Pages would allow me to open my documents that were created in Appleworks 6, but it's not.

I upgraded my late 2009 iMac to Mt Lion and then had to find "obsolete" memory to increase capacity so I could put iWork on my desktop, so I could open my old documents created by Appleworks 6. I thought iWorks Pages '09 would open both Word and Appleworks documents, but it's not. I used my iWorks DVD version 9.0 and after installing I did a software update to 9.3. Can anyone give me the answer as to what to do in order to open all my documents or give me the answer that I can't do it using iWorks? Thanks

It is an interesting problem. If you were using all of the AppleWorks tools the way Apple intended, then you may have a Word processing document with embedded graphics and spreadsheet content. Apple suggests that Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word processing documents, Numbers will open AppleWork 6 spreadsheets, and I believe Keynote will open AppleWorks graphics files. In between may be a gray area that other community members can help you address.
Although I have used AppleWorks 5 and 6 in the past, I no longer have any of these documents left.
The latest version of LibreOffice (v4.1) has added (so they claim) the ability to open Clarisworks, AppleWorks 5 and 6, and MS Works for Mac, Mac Word, etc. You might download and try the free LibreOffice and see if it processes your AppleWorks files. If so, it will allow you to export them in more friendly Office document formats. And quite possibly save you a ton of valuable time.

I thought Yosemite would allow iMac to text non-iphone users.

I updated my iMac with Yosemite and everything is working well. However, I am unable to use the Messages app to text non-iphone users. According to the Apple page that describes the new Yosemite features it says:
SMS
More ways to get your message across.
With OS X Yosemite and an iPhone running iOS 8, you can send and receive SMS text messages right from your Mac. So when friends text you — regardless of what phone they have — you can respond from your Mac or your iPhone, whichever is closest.2 All the messages that appear on your iPhone now appear on your Mac, too, so your conversation is up to date on all your devices. You can also start an SMS or iMessage conversation on your Mac by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, Calendar, or Spotlight.
I've tried clicking on the intended recipient's number in my Contacts, and typing the number in manually, but I get the message "Your message could not be sent. XXXXXXXXXX is not registered with iMessage." Does anyone have any suggestions?

I followed all of the directions and was able to get FaceTime on my MacBook Pro to make a phone call through my iPhone 5S in close proximity. But, I cannot get Messages on my MacBook Pro to send a SMS text via my iPhone 5S. I cannot believe that it only works with an iPhone 6! That would be a HUGE disappointment!

I paid 9.95 because I thought it would allow me to create a pdf online. What did I pay for if not that?

I am very unhappy right now because I chose "create online PDF" from my ADOBE READER software on my computer and it took me to a place where I could pay. It said $9.95 only for me to pay and still can't create a PDF online.

Did you sign in with the Adobe ID you used for the subscription?
And yes, you should really tell us what you paid for - we have no way of knowing that.

When I have a crash on Firefox, I would like to copy, paste, & save the window with my previously opened web tabs, but I can't do this. I'm frustrated, & I imagine others may be, too. Please change this if possible. Thanks!

I have encountered this problem repeatedly, not just on one or two occasions. The window that opens up and allows me to check on or off of reopening a "restore" session is completely "dead" to my mouse other than the check boxes.
Couldn't it be made so the user can copy and paste those choices as a record of his most recent activity, before "guessing" which tabs may be dsyfunctional for the restore?

You can make a backup copy of sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]. You can't do a copy and paste in the about:sessionrestore window.
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.<br />

I downloaded an audiobook to my laptop but I can't sync it to my iPad. I have tried everything!!!

I bought an audiobook and had it go to my laptop. I want to sync it to my iPad and nothing I do works. This is so frustrating as I wanted it on my iPad originally. I have gone in 'books' and selected the 'audiobooks' below and it still won't sync. I noticed it is in purchased but it won't go into any library except the books but that's of no help (see above). Can anyone help me???

You are sure that it is not in the More tab of the Music app on the iPad, where you should find synced audiobooks?

HT2311 i just upgraded to an iphone 5c and cannot sync with my itunes on my mac. How can I make this happen?

cant sync my new iphone 5c with my itunes? what do i do?

I asked the same question a couple of days ago. Today I read a similar post and read that there are sync issues with a 5C do two things power down the computer, make sure that no applications are running on the 5C. When the computer restarts it will connect to the 5C after the drivers install. At least this worked for me. I am using Windows 7, iOS 7.0.4, and iTunes 11.1.3.8 .

I thought Sync would allow me to migrate settings to a new browser on a different laptop, but I can't make it happen.
