I want to be able to run firefox on one Mac with its window displayed on another (using X11?), can I do this?
I have an Apple Mac (running MacOS 10.6.8) at a remote location. I want to be able to run Firefox on this machine but with the Firefox display window redirected to my local Mac. I used to be able to do this with UNIX (e.g. LINUX etc.) systems running X11 by setting the DISPLAY variable on the remote host. Is it possible to do this using the X11 on the Mac? and, if so, do I need to rebuild Firefox to display using X11? At the moment, whatever I try, Firefox just starts its window on the system on which it is started.
Dear finitarry,
The X windows system was developed in the 1980s at MIT (I seem to remember that it was called X because it was based on a window system developed for use on Xerox graphics terminals). X11 is used by Unix based devices to control their windows, so is used by Linux (a free version of Unix), but is not part of it. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to post this query on a MacOS forum.
Cheers
Phil

Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:
http://www.google.com.au/ig/directory?hl=en&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_news_technology.xml
Which if you enter the last part of the url reports that
"<Content type="html">
This is a builtin module, so the UserPrefs and Content are ignored."
Any ideas? -
I downloaded the Windows 64-bit version of iTunes, but the application won't run. It comes up with Apple Application Support - Error 2. How can I fix this? I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times and it still doesn't work.
What computer do you have? is it 32 or 64 bit operating system?

Running Firefox 22 on Mac with no Adblock and can't get most videos. Works fine in Chrome & Safari.
I am unable to run most videos in Firefox. Have v22 and have had this problem for a while with several versions on both my Mac and PC laptop. I've tried downgrading Flash, didn't work. I've checked, and I'm not running Adblock. I'm about ready to dump FF and use a different browser although I don't want to. Any help is appreciated.
Safe Mode isn't practical for permanent use, but you can try making some of the changes in regular mode.
(1) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox (this is disabled in Safe Mode)
Un-check the box here and restart:
Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(2) Check for and disable any nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the following tabs (these would all have been disabled in Safe Mode):
Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
(3) If you use any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media, and you do not want to disable them, make sure they are as up-to-date as possible -
I have firefox 4.0 beta 11. I want to install latest version of firefox 4.0. But when i install 4.0 nothing changes. How can i solve this problem? I tried to install 3.6 then install 4.0, but the same thing happened again.
According to your user agent string you are using Firefox 4 and not beta 11

This happens when FireFox is not responding, and I want to close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete. Too many tabs can make Firefox crash. That is why I want to use ctrl-alt-delete to close FireFox. I tried finding a way to disable this, but I found no option to.
Ending the Firefox program or process with the Windows Task Manager "looks like" a crash. The proper way to exit Firefox is click Firefox button > Exit (or File > Exit, if using the Menu Bar).

What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?
As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.
This info for Leopard courtesy of TexasMacMan;
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari
okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask. -

I have macbook pro 13" I want to know how to copy files from my mac to the external Toshiba Hard Drive. I can't even delete files from my external hard drive. please help me my macbook HD is almost full and I have to copy my images to the Toshiba HD
To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao. -

The first thing I did was UPDATE. I have all the latest updates available (according to the updater). The Camera Raw Plug-in says it is version 8.0.
The RAW files are from a Canon T3i. It's a very common camera, I can't believe it wouldn't be supported. -

Nobody get back to me on my other question, so I'm going to try again. I am making a PowerPoint for a meeting and I want to take a 3D PDF and have it spin or rotate on a continuous loop. How can I accomplish this?
Please ignore PowerPoint comment, I can make the 3D PDF no problem with my converter plug-in for AutoCAD. Once it is made though you can spin it by hand/mouse in Adobe. but I want a video like scene with the object spinning by itself for modeling purposes?
