I work with a web app that will not run on Firefox, so I changed my default browser back to IE but the URL link continues to open in Firefox. How can I get it to default to IE?

After changing my default browser from Firefox back to IE, other URLs are defaulting to IE but I have one URL that continues to default to Firefox. This web app will only run in IE so the only way I can run it is to open IE first and then enter or select the URL. Is there a setting someplace that will change the default browser for this URL to be IE?

You can make IE the default browser, that will reset some registry keys 
Control Panel > Internet Options: Programs 
Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser' 
Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.
Check the default settings in: 
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left) 
Open: Custom (click arrow on the right) 
Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser" 
Click OK

HT203433 i purchased a cd on my phone but the whole cd didnt download to my computer how can i get the missing tracks to download

i purchased a cd but when downloaded to my computer some of the tracks was missing how can i get the missing tracks to download???

On computer go into iTunes store, in the Quicklinks section click on purchased, go to music not on this computer and you should find all music still in the cloud.
On phone open music, choose store at top of screen, then choose the More option at bottom of next screen, look in downloads where anything waiting to download should be. If nothing there go to Purchased, click on Music, Not on this Phone and you should see any iTunes music you have bought that is not downloaded to the phone.

OS X 10.6.7 Canon All-in-One 480 Printer will not print files, only blank pages. Have to go to Utilities, Disk Utility and Repair permissions for a temporary fix. How can I get a permanent fix?

After upgrading to OS X 10.6.7., my Canon All-in One MP 480 printer will not print. it says it is printing, but the sheet of paper just runs through the printer and comes out blank. I finally went online to just answers.com and got a fix involving the System preferences, printer and fax. i was told to go to Applications in the HD, thenUtilities, then Disk Utilities, highlight the HD and check on Verify Disk. If it says Disk is OK, click on Repair Permissions. At first, that worked, but the next time I went to print after turning the printer off, it refused to print and just ran the sheet of paper through blank. Once that happens, there is no way to go back to printing the file that failed. I fiinally had to copy and paste the info from the file that would not print and put it in an email to myself and then print that. This is very frustrating, and I would really like a final solution for the problem.

There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article

(look below all the "SUID" examples)
I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

My system preferences has only Mobile Me not icloud but the software says all up to date. How can i get mobile me on the computer. Thanks

Hi

What version of OS X are you running? Go to the Apple menu>About this Mac and it will give the version number.
iCloud is available on Lion 10.7.2 or higher.

Uninstalling older apps that will not run on Intel processor

Does anyone know of some clean fast soloutions?

Best way would be to use their uninstallers. If not provided go to developers website to see if they are provided. If not then just put them in the trash and empty. Using utilities like CleanMyMac are not recommended. It is to easy to trash essential system files using them.

The bookmarks sidebar will not show bookmarks. Even if I import them or restore them. In the menu bar they show up fine. How can this be fixed?

If I open the bookmark's sidebar it's empty. If I use the Menu Bar, the bookmarks are all there. I tried importing them from Internet Explorer but they still do not show up on the sidebar. I also tried restoring but they still don't show in the sidebar. After restoring and importing, I now see 3 bookmarks but that's all. I also am unable to delete those 3 bookmarks as "delete" is grayed out. Also, if I try to bookmark a page through the bookmarks in the menu bar, and I want to select a different folder, I can only see 5 items down, where as before I could choose if I wanted to save the bookmark in an existing folder of my creation which was further down. Is there a way to fix this?

hello Cronus, you might have to expand the default entries (toolbar, menu, unsorted) in your sidebar first before you get to your actual bookmarks/folders.
otherwise please try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once, to rule out the interference of any addons: [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
in order to specify the exact path of a newly created bookmark click on the arrow at the right side of the folder field as shown in the screenshot attached.

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

TS1702 I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three won't sync. Computer is authorized, I've reinstalled apps, nothing works. Any ideas?

I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three would not sync. I updated all software, checked authorizations, and reinstalled the apps -- no luck. Any ideas?

All the apps state they are compatible w/ my model iPod Touch. No restrictions are set that would prevent syncing. Seems like I might have had a similar problem a while back with one app but can't recall the solution -- it was something simple.

You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it

You should have asked this before you tried: Changing username or short name- User Account and Short Name- OS X- How to change user account name or home directory name.

I have an Ipad 2 and have about 20 apps that will not update, How can I delete these?

I have some apps that will not update on my IPad 2. They say they are installing, but Installing is grey..not black, and they have been like this for several weeks. I cannot find out how to finish the updates or delete them. Can someone suggest a solution? Thanks, Ann

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
Thank you.
Brian in the UK.

Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
