I updated to Windows 8 from earlier version of Windows 8 and would like to salvage previous bookmarks, etc

I have the old windows on my computer and would like your expertise:)

If you still have the old files from your personal account on the older Windows, you should be able to recover the profile. You will need to make hidden files visible. If you do a search for places.sqlite, you will find the profile folder. If you had Thunderbird or some other Mozilla application installed as well, check the pathname to be sure it is Firefox you have found.

I have just gone from PCM to MacBook Pro retina and would like to now go to imac. Is it worth waiting for retina on imac and when will it arrive

I have just gone from PCM to MacBook Pro retina and would like to now go to imac. Is it worth waiting for retina on imac and when will it arrive

I'm not Klaus but can give an opinion on this part:
As a Mac man yourself do you think that the retina display is worth waiting for?
I'm 65, have used Macs since 1989, and struggle with displays, cataracts, and bifocals. What I've seen of the Retinas in stores is that text size gets sacrificed for image quality. There are quite a few complaints about Retina in the MacBook Pro forums about not being able to increase the size of menu text without it getting fuzzy.
My iMac 27-inch is about a year old and I can set the display res from its default of 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 and everything is sharp. I understand that handy trick will not work for either the older hi-res macbook pros or the Retinas, so I don't expect it for any other Macs.
Speculation on Apple policy and new product releases is actiually not allowed by the Terms of Use around here so I doubt you'll get an answer to the "when" part. Anyone who does answer "when" is either guessing it up or violating a non-disclosure agreement! Apple plays its cards close to its vest and we average users only know "when" when Apple posts the announcement.

HT4436 I have a laptop Mac and an IPad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the IPad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

I have a laptop Mac and an Ipad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the Ipad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

I am new to Windows 8 and would like to view my .pdf's (like I could in Windows XP) on a window I can shrink so I can open additional software and shrink so both pages are open next to each other on the window. I am very frustrated at this point with Wi

PLEASE HELP!

Many people have this experience with Windows 8, which is becoming a byword for unpopularity.
Still, a bit of basic understanding is important. People have got used to just getting a new version of Windows and using it, without training or study. Not any more, thanks to Microsoft's bright ideas.
Here are some very crucial things about Windows 8.
1. Windows 8 has a new kind of app (program). These new kinds of apps take over the whole screen. Microsoft thinks these are the future. I won't tell you what I think. Except, if this new world is so great, why don't Microsoft use it for their own Office apps. A
2. The old world of Windows 7 and before is still available with most Windows 8 computers, except some cheap tablets and phones. Microsoft like to call this an app called "Desktop" which is really all of the old-fashioned, windows-can-be-resized, apps together.
3. Most apps are "new world" or "old world". Everything in the App Store is new world - that's the rule. A few apps (like Internet Explorer) can run in either world.
4. Windows 8 comes with a PDF reader "out of the box". This runs only in the new world and it's called "Microsoft Reader". Don't bother with it.
5. Adobe produce a "new world" PDF reader called "Adobe Reader Touch". Marginally better than Microsoft Reader, it's just not a patch on the old one; there are loads of things it doesn't do, and worst of all it's always full screen because Microsoft said so. No need to use it. Just download the old world Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader as usual. (Be sure to turn off the unwanted "free offers"!!)

I have an iPad and would like to replicate my Bookmarks list from Firefox for MAC to my iPad Safari.app; can this be done automatically?

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.7, and an iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3.
On the MAC, I have Firefox for MAC v 19.0.2 and Safari 6.0.3
On the iPad, I have only Safari for iPad. I always use Firefox as my browser for the MacBook, but there is no Firefox app for the iPad.
My Safari bookmarks automatically update from the MacBook to the iPad, but not from Firefox to the iPad. Is it possible for the automatic update to be made from Firefox instead of Safari to the iPad Safari.app? If not, is there an easy way on the MacBook to keep the Safari bookmarks up to date with the Firefox bookmarks, so that the iPad shares my Firefox bookmarks?
If not possible now, are you planning to make this possible for MAC users who also have an iPad?

I have Mac version 10.3.9 and would like to upgrade my Firefox to a version that supports Google calendar.

I have a Mac version 10.3.9 and use Google email and calendar, and am now getting messages that they will be phasing out support for my browser, which is Firefox 2.0.0.20
The new Firefox version offered requires Mac 10.4 or above. Can I upgrade my Firefox to meet the Google requirements without upgrading my Mac?

You can alco check using the model number.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.

I installed windows 8 and can't find all my bookmarks etc. I tried reset but it didn't help. How can I restore my old info?

I tried to find the database files from my old firefox on explorer 7 but any old files I tried came up as can not open or not found. I tried the suggestions from mozilla help about what files contain the info but got the same results. I did reset but all it did was give me the few new things I've done since installing windows 8.

hello, did you install windows 8 on top of another operating system on a single machine and do you have any form of prior backup available?
one thing you could try is to search the whole filesystem (make sure you include all locations, also hidden ones) for the term ''bookmarks*.json'' - if any results show up with a date in their filename that lies before the windows install, you can then likely import them into your current firefox profile.

I have an iPod touch with version 4.2.1 and would like to upgrade to version 4.3 but cannot figure out how

I have an iPod touch with version 4.2.1 software that I need to upgrade to 4.3. How can I do this? I cannot download apps without the upgrade.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

I have a MacBook Pro Version 10.6.8 and would like to connect it to an external monitor. Help!

The external monitor is a 19-inch Dell E196FPb LCD Monitor, which has a female 15-pin VGA. What cord do I need to connect the two?

10.6.8 is the version of OS X, not the model of your Mac. If it has a minidisplayport connector (next to the USB connectors, about half the size), then this is what you want.

Last time I updated firefox Yahoo has taken over. I hate yahoo and would like to remove it is that possible?

when I uploaded the new version of firefox yahoo has taken over. It over rides everything and I want to remove it is that possible to keep firefox but remove yahoo?
When I put a address in the address bar yahoo over rides it and it goes to a yahoo page.

Hi All,
Have just sorted this problem. Do the following:
type into your address bar> about:config
this will bring up the usual warning that it might void your warrantee. Click> I'll be careful I promise.
in the filter bar at the top enter "Yahoo" without the quotes.
At the bottom of the list ther'll be a string named "Keyword.url. Right click on this and select reset.
While your in there if you like you can right click on any of the yahoo lines and select modify. Once once the box opens replace Yahoo by overtyping Google.
Close the tab and that should cure the problem.
All the best
Mick

Is there a way to use my itunes credit to send a gift card to someone else. I have credit on my account and would like to gift some of it but cannot figure out how to use the credit to do so. It appears I can only send a gift by charging to my credit card.

You cannot use gift balance for gifts.
Sorry

Updating projects from earlier versions of FCPX to FCPX 10.01.3. FCP does'nt see the project i want to update.

I've successfully updated projects that were already in previous version libraries, but have some archived ones from earlier versions of FCPX which the program does not see to update. Any ideas on how to do this!

I am assuming you mean projects from 10.0.x
You need to place them in the traditional location "Final Cut Projects" (at the root of an external drive or inside your Movies folder), and likewise your events inside a folder "Final Cut Events".
Then use File->Update Projects and Events...

I installed the InDesign CC Testversion and now i try to open INDD-Files from earlier Version. Always i get the error "This file is made by an earlier Version...." but it´s CC that is the latest Version. What is the problem ? Should i have to convert the files ?

Adobe has been using confusing version names for at least five years.
There are now two versions labeled CC, version 9 and version 10 (also known as CC 2014). Version 10 is the latest, and if you attempt to open a version 10 file in Version 9 that is not fully patched you will get an error message telling you that the file cannot be opened. The latest patch for version 9 should use a cloud-based service at Adobe to convert version 10 files to IDML and allow you to open that.
I suspect you may be using an older operating system. Version 10 requires that your system runs at least OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 SP1 and if you are not it will not even be offered to you.

I just updated my iTunes and I do not like the newer version.....can I go back to the earlier version?? This new version does not have the iTunes DJ nor does is show at the bottom as in the earlier version how many songs and the size of my library.

To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes.
