I used to be able to type in where I wanted to go and firefox 4 wont let this happen
as an example: Say I wanted to go to a website of a particular place I would go to the address bar at the top and type in
Union Mo Theater and press enter ... It would take me straight to WWW.great8cinema.com now with Firefox 4 it brings up a Google page...... this is the only reason why I use and recommend Firefox to my customers. there has to be a work around for this...please advise
That is actually Google, which is the location bars default search engine. When you enter a string into the urlbar that is not a url, Google decides if it should give you a search result or an I'm Feeling Lucky result. The later is what you were getting before.
Good thing is, once you've visited www.great8cinema.com, when you want to visit there again in the future, the awesomebar will find it. Try it, type in great8 or cinema. The page should appear in a list of matching pages you've visited in the past. Bookmark that page and it will be even more likely to rise to the top of the list.

In version 3.x.x I used to be able to type search terms into the address bar and the page would load, similar to Google's "Feeling Lucky" button. Now it just brings up a Google search for the terms I typed in. How can I get this time saving feature back?
The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below
[http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=]
If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name -

when I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to. Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty. How can I get it to show each page again?
Hi chrismarks1,
I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
Best,

I used to be able to have thousands of pictures on my phone and now after my upgrade it keeps saying "not enough storage" is there anything I can do? I don't want to buy more storage
It says I cloud total storage 5.0 GB available 5.0 GB so whats the problem?iCloud storage is for backups. It is not associated with space on your phone. You cannot buy more space for your phone. Check what you have on your phone and delete what you don't use or seldom use to get more space on your phone.

I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???
The problem with those two apps is that they are supposed to be in your Apple ID and you didn't set up the Mac properly/completely when you got it.
You might try deleteing them and using OS X Recovery to install them again.

After that, before you open any iLife apps go to your Mac App Store account, to the Purchased pane and Accept them into your account. -

thanks!You can link the phone number to the iPad again, if you follow the instructions here.

The relevant information for you will be at the end of the article. You may have to sign out of messages on the iPhone and the iPad and start all over again. -
I just reinstalled and this is the pop up that shows "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" what do i do next? it just keeps popping up and loading but only gives a quit button?
Update it.
How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update

Long story short, I made a backup using TimeMachine of my iMac. I got my MBA which was being repaired and i restored from backup. Everything works fine, except for iPhoto which is not saying:
"You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?"
I have OS X 10.7.2 and iPhoto 9.1.4. I've tried:
Repairing permissions
Deleting iPhoto, installing agaian, and updating
Repaired iPhoto Library (stays stuck at 98% when rebuilding database)
I've also tried iPhoto Library manager which cannot even see the library
Tried restoring from backup from iPhoto and it messed up library (I still had my backup)
Quite frustrating - any ideas on how to get iPhoto back to life?Dunno why Software update was not displaying the latest version of iPhoto (9.2.1 as of January 27, 2012)...updating to this has fixed the issue

I have iPhoto 9.5.1. The other day I tried to open an old library that I moved from another laptop. Since then, I have been getting this error message. I have downloaded iPhoto Library Upgrader and it wont let me select my 9.5.1 version of iPhoto or the old library on my desktop.
You do not need the iPhoto library upgrader for a library created by iPhoto 9.5.1 - only for libraries form iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) and older
The iPhoto Library Upgrader is a tool that prepares libraries from iPhoto '08 (v7.x) or earlier so that you can upgrade them with the current version of iPhoto. If your library is from iPhoto '09 (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool.

why when i want to sync my phone with the computer it wants to delete all my apps how do i not let this happen. this is a different computer to the 1 i always use. i have authorised this computer but still wants to delete my apps
Why you can't redownload? Don't you have the Apple ID that used to download these apps?
You can "transfer purchaces" by right click on your iphone in iTunes but i guess you computer is not authorized and will ask you to authorize with Apple ID. Try it. -
how do you change your apple id on your phone. Trying to update aps and it wont let me because its still using old apple id.
Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

I already used facetime before but for some reason I have to sign back in and it wont let me. I clicked "Get Started" then "Sign in" but then after about 3 seconds on the next page it just slides back to the "sign in page"
Try a Reset of your Device...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
