I want to DUMP Safari and move to Firefox - best way?

I am tired of going to hundreds of websites which Do Not Work in Safari, usually when I'm trying to select a popup or enter data or view some info.
I then go to FireFox, and it ALWAYS works.
I have tried Safari 3 Beta for a few weeks now, and it's Even Worse than 2.
So, if I want to DUMP Safari, but import all the booksmarks and bookmark folders etc, is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks

The trick is to delete all bookmarks in Firefox first, then import from Safari.
You will then have a complete duplicate in Firefox of what you have in Safari.

Snow Leopard Purchase
Computer Compatibility - Lion
Mountain Lion/Mavericks
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck

HT1386 My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes. Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes. Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

Hi,
Setting up syncing
Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
Hope this helps

Garageband video podcast shows up with a QT logo ? in Safari, and nothing in Firefox. Tried with .mov and m4v. Looked at a lot of discussions and no answers.

Went from iMovie 11, then to Garage band, made the podcast, then went to iweb. Uploaded and nothing in firefox, and in Safari I get the good old quicktime logo with a ?. Tried the put the movie in a textbox trick. No dice. I don't understand code. I just use the darn thing and can usually figure things out by looking at discussions but I'm coming up flat on this one. Have used iweb for three or four years. This "should" work but can't get it to work, have tried switching out the podcast with different formats and nothing. Any ideas are appreciated. 10.6.8

The first thing you should do is clean up the movie file name by taking out the space and the apostrophe. Never use spaces or special characters in any file name that is going to be uploaded to the server.
Change this...
Chiro%20Works%21.m4v
... by taking out the ! and replacing the space with a hyphen to this...
Chiro-Works.m4v

Don't want to Copy audio and movies into document: Selecting

Hello
Here is my first question about Keynote.
In the User Guide, we may read:
Copy audio and movies into document: Selecting this checkbox saves audio and
video files with the document, so the files play if the document is opened on another
computer.
*_You might want to deselect this checkbox so that the file size is smaller, but_*
*_media files won’t play on another computer unless you transfer them as well._*
The named checkbox is unchecked in the Advanced options as well as in the Preferences pane but, when I drag a sound file, in fact a mp3 one encapsulated in a .mov file, I retrieve it it the document itself.
I'm running the app on a French system if it may make sense.
Am'I doing something wrongly ?

I have no huge knowledge about Keynote.
So, I would use brute force.
Assuming that your document is built with the flatfile format introduced by iWork '09
(1) rename the document wxyz.key as wxyz.key.zip
(2) double click the renamed document
it will expand as a wxyz.key document using the old package structure
(3) ctrl + click the icon of the new wxyz.key document to reach the contextual menu offering the item allowing you to "Display Package Contents"
(4) in this contents you will see the "kind of aliases" which I wrote about.
They are named something like : azertyui.mov
(5) open them with an hexadecimal editor like the free Hexedit.
You may also drag & drop them on the TextEdit icon.
In this late case you will get something like :
I highlighted the meaningful info.
Here it must be read as:
Macintosh HD/Important/Téléchargements/jef gilson - oeil vision/jej gilson - oeil vision - 7 -chant inca.mp3
This is the path to the true file.
With this info, you may reach the true file.
As far as I know, the embedded .mov file is a frozen 'kind of alias' so you are not allowed to move it.
As long as it remains where it is, you may move the keynote document everywhere on your HD. You may also move it on an external HD.
As long as the device is connected to your machine with the media file untouched thr doc will behave flawlessly.
If you move it to an other machine, it will be orphan.
So, to use it on an other machine, you must embed the media file in the document.
Open this document with Keynote.
Check the checkbox urging Keynote save media in the document
Delete the icon of the media item existing in the document
Drag & drop the true media file as a replacement of the deleted one
then save the document.
Oops I was forgetting to respond about 'dropped files'.
To my knowledge, they are some insert picture files.

Help - Pages have different lengths in Safari (and Chrome) vs Firefox

I have a website created with iWeb '09 that contains some rather long HTML tables that I inserted using HTML snippets. These tables display properly in Safari v 5.0.2 and Chrome (6.0.472.59), but get cut off at the bottom when I use Firefox 3.6.9.
Alternatively, if I force the web page to be long enough to satisfy Firefox, then I have too much dead (i.e., empty) space with Safari and Chrome. See this page: http://coridium.astrapoint.net/c/Coridium-_RiskChecklist.html
Can anyone suggest a fix for this?
Thanks,

I had the same problem... I am using phpbb3 table/message-forums on my site, and used an iframe that I found on a youtube instructional video, and it worked fine on safari and chrome, but the forum/table was only like 3 inches long on firefox.
I tried the code in the response above in place of my original iframe code:
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src="URL TO ITEM TO BE EMBEDDED"></iframe>
and I entered the same height/width dimensions from my original iframe and ended up with an even smaller table. So I went back to my original iframe code and made the height 1500px instead of 100% which is below:
<IFRAME SRC = "insertDOMAINhere" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="1500px" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="auto" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>
I cleared my cache on firefox, and reopened my forum and now it displays the whole table. The page might be too long, but at least it is now firefox compatible. hope it works for everyone else

Best way to save and view raw files while traveling. I have dropbox but new ipad user and not sure of best way.

What is the best way to save photos when shooting RAW while traveling. Would like to save raw files but also view and email from iPad. I also have dropbox. Will be in Europe next spring.

Unfortunately, the playback of non-iOS-native video formats (everything except mov / mp4 / m4v) is horrible through Apple TV and it, because of the inherent speed restrictions of Wi-Fi, can't be helped other than:
- pre-converting your video files to mov / mp4 / m4v before playing them. (THis is the best solution.) For this, you will want to use the absolutely best and fastest video converter, the free(!!!) HandBrake. Don't ever think of paying any money for any video converter - most other titles are way inferior to HandBrake. (See http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps for more info on this q.)
- using a VGA or HDMI adapter and connecting your TV directly to the iPad.
In the thread at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18697551?ac_cid=sa123456#18697551 , we've also discussed this problem (AirPlay vs. cabled playback)

I have an old 30" apple cinema display (2005) I want to use as a 2nd monitor to a new iMac (2012). I don't just want mirror image of iMac; what's the best way to do this?

I have not bought the iMac yet but will do so very soon and just want to make sure I have what I need to get everything setup including adding the old faithful 2005 30" cinema display. Currently I am driving the old 30" cinema display with a macbook pro also purchased 2005 and happy to say I got a lot of good miles out of this rig. What's the best way to connect the old 30" monitor as a second display for the new generation iMacs?
Other Questions
I can find online new in unopened box a 2012 iMac 27" i7 with 1T Fusion Drive for $1899 no sales tax. This seems like a pretty good deal since I notice the same is available from Apple refurbished for $100 more plus sales tax. I know that they say the Fusion drive is a lot faster on 2013 models but some of the speed tests I reviewed online showed the 2012 i7 and 2013 i7 very close on speed for both storage and processing. Any thoughts?
I don't like changing batteries so I would buy a separate Apple keyboard with numeric pad since it only comes with wireless keyboard. I'm a trackpad enthusiast having been using my macbook pro trackpad with current set up; and I am prepared to buy the Apple trackpad and replace batteries every 2 months but I would greatly prefer USB connection and rechargeable trackpact. I know Logitech makes one so if anyone is using and knows how it compares to Apple's I'm all ears.

You can use USB for the Apple trackpad.

What data does SNMP return and what is the best way to explore it?

Hi All
I have some queries about using SNMP on Cisco devices.
1. What is the best way to get an idea of what data MIBs can return?
I have entered the commmand "show snmp mib". However, the number of MIBs generated is huge!
2. Can you enter a command on the Cisco device itself that returns snmp data?
e.g. if I want to see what data a MIB entry returns, can I interrogate it on the Cisco device itself rather than having to rely on network management software?
The reason I ask is that we are currently looking for Network Management Software. However, I have no idea what data SNMP can return, therefore don't know if what the Management Software offers is comprehensive or not.
Any suggestions on how best to get an idea the data SNMP can generate plus any other suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks
John

Generally speaking, snmp can query about any parameter of the system. An enterprise class device has almost all conceivable parameters instrumented thus. A device's inventory (chassis, cards, ports, power supplies, software image, etc.) and the state of its interfaces and traffic they are carrying are among the primary ones.
You can query a device's snmp variables remotely "by hand" using an open source distribution of a tool like snmpwalk. You need to know what you're looking for - i.e., the exact oid (object ID) string or else you get a long reply like you alluded to. It also helps to have the actual MIB you are querying against locally so that the output you get will be human-readable. Otherwise you'll get long numeric strings (the snmp oid) followed by alphanumeric values which may or may not make sense at first glance depending on the oid being queried. A MIB's purpose is to add that abstraction layer / interpretation to make the output more useful to the operator.
The purpose of an NMS (very generally speaking) is to give an even higher layer of abstraction to organize the querying and reporting of all these various data into a useful system with dashboards, graphs, reports etc.

What and how is the best way to keep the battery strong?

Im new to owning a Macbook Pro and I was wondering how to make sure the battery stays strong?

No: draining to near 0% is not advisable. It's best to charge recharging at 20%:

For the rest: use it as you please. But don't forget to use the battery every now and then.

Graphical Glitches- Safari and movies and beyond

I visited the Apple homepage today and watched the Quicktime ad for the MacBook Air. As it ended and the movie transitioned with the gradient field behind it, where multiple views of the Air could be chosen, there were black blocks that would flicker in and out during the transition. The same blotchy graphics occurred when switching between the different views of the Air. These glitches occurred when any image was opened in it's own browser window/tab as well. I also noticed on different websites and particularly long listed sites, like the support forums, that text would become "displaced," like pieces of graphics were copied over, duplicated and slightly off from where they should align with other text. I thought it was just a Safari issue but the glitchy text was also occurring in Mail and even the Finder. I had to restart to get it to stop duplicating and shifting text. I haven't had the black blocks occur again. Thought maybe it was a Flash issue but got more concerned when I began affecting apps beyond Safari. A graphics card issue, perhaps?
I hadn't noticed any of this before the Leopard Graphics Update a few days ago and it doesn't happen at all on my other Macs, just the Santa Rosa MacBook Pro (my other, older MacBook Pro has no issues with it). I was having that black screen after sleep issue that's been mentioned and think I've got that squared away only to find this issue.

Other topics about this very thing have stated that the problem only occurred when the MacBook Pro was running on battery power. I don't remember that being the case for me. It was after the graphics update so I'm wondering if that was the cause. It was said this issue was even seen on machines running Windows via BootCamp. But this only effects my newest MBP, not the older Core2Duo model. Some have said that the recent release of the Safari update cleared things up for them. I haven't installed it yet and still wonder why one Mac out of six I use only have suffered the issue.
I'm updating now to actually admit that after posting this topic that I've yet to have another problem with it, Safari, Mail, Finder or anywhere else.

Hi, new to apple and not super tech savy. I wish to move to apple for all office and home use. want the works. What and how is the best way to go about this?

After some guidence on setting up apple at home and syncing all devices etc, any help would be great. IT not my strenght

It really won't matter which device you use to purchase and download the rental, though if your computer has a wired connection to the Internet, it may be a bit less susceptible to problems than the iPad's Wifi connection. For instructions either way, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
Once the movie has completely downloaded, a network connection will then not be required.
