I would like to put bookmarks (shortcuts) on my desktop as I can with IE

Windows 7, Firefox 5.0.1. Windows does a good job of managing shortcuts for programs, files, folders, and web links (shortcuts) made by IE.
Why not Firefox? Am I missing something?

You can drag the tab or the favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create a shortcut.
If you create an internet shortcut that way then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

I have two (paid) copies of lightroom 5 from your photography promotion installed (on two different machines). I would like to deactivate one copy on one desktop so I can install a copy on my laptop. How do I go about this?

I have two (paid) copies of lightroom 5 from your photography promotion installed (on two different machines). I would like to deactivate one copy on one desktop so I can install a copy on my laptop. How do I go about this?

While the standalone version of LR has no deactivation, the Photography Program which is LR + PS-CC bundled and licensed through the Cloud will have a 2-activation limit per Adobe ID, and you cannot decouple the LR from the PS-CC in the Photographers Bundle.
You can license the cloud on up to two computers per AdobeID by signing into the cloud. When you try to sign in on a third computer you have the option to deactivate the other two copies, which you can do, and then never sign into the cloud on the one computer you don’t want activated and you’ll be fine.

Would like to put a pop-up in expanding text. Can anyone tell me how?

I have a need for creating popups within expanding text. A
colleague tells me there may be a script out there to drop into the
code that would allow me to do that. Can anyone give me some
guidance about that? Or does anyone have any other recommended
work-arounds for this? I tried putting popups within popups but
that doesn't work either. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Lynn
Your initial instructions sounded spot on to me. But I sense
that Shawn is possibly using the term "pop up" to refer to
"Text-only Popups" and not the full blown popups as we know them to
be. Additionally, I'm wondering if more confusion is ensuing as a
result of possibly referring to a DHTML drop down as Expanding
text. I only suggest this as what I saw seems to imply there are
several steps being displayed when the "expanding text" is clicked
upon. Expanding text is normally used for something concise and
brief, where the DHTML drop down is normally used for longer
procedures as was mentioned here.
Shawn, if I'm understanding you correctly, here is how to
insert a Text-only Popup in Expanding text. You simply create the
popup information in the main body of the page. Once created,
select the text the user clicks to see the popup, and CUT to the
clipboard. Now double-click your expanding text to open the editor.
Now paste the text where you want it. Once finished, you should end
up with some expanding text that when expanded, has a working
Text-only Popup.
Hopefully this helps some. Sorry I wasn't replying earler.
Was out conducting a Captivate class in Jacksonville, FL and just
got home. Looks like you had good solid answers and suggestions
from Lynn and Kitty Liz though!
Cheers all... Rick

I have a terabyte of movies that I would like to put on a the cloud so that I can access them via iTunes anywhere. The movies are almost all .avi. I have tried to drag them to my iTunes on my laptop but have not been able to transfer 1 single file.

Can anyone help me import .avi movies to a cloud drive so that I can play them on my iPad when I'm traveling. It is one of the only reasons I purchased the thing and I cannot figure out how to access my personal movie files from a "cloud" drive.

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services. Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services. You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used). You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

Step 1
Remove "MacKeeper" as follows.
"MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
Failure to remove MacKeeper will result from neglecting any one of these points:
Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
Don't empty the Trash after dragging the application to it. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
Don't try to drag the MacKeeper icon in the Dock to the Trash.
Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
Step 2
Restore from the last backup that predates the unwanted changes.

How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

Do you meant a link to one of your other pages or to a location on one of your pages? If it's the latter those are called anchors and iWeb does not support them. However, there are workarounds for that. See this blog: How to use anchors in iWeb. If you don't have a lot of widgets on the page it can work fairly well.

I have a 13" mac book pro with a 250 gb solid state drive and I would like to put in a larger one is this possible

I own a Mac book Pro 13" it has a 250 gb solid state drive and I would like to put a larger one in is this possible.

You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do.

If you do not have it on disc, then download it, install it, and activate it with your serial numnber. If you need to download it, if you purchased it online thru Adobe look for a link in your Adobe account online. You can also download the trial version and activate it with your serial number...

I have my iMac G3 set up with three partitions like you are proposing.
I'd recommend getting virtual box on your new Mac. You can install the latest Linux version easier this way.
The problem is finding a PPC distro you like. I forget how I configured the Linux boot manager, yaboot. I may have skipped it or had it installed in the linux partition.

When you plug in the iPhone, go to the menu bar and select "Transfer all purchases" to move them to your MacBook Pro.
If that doesn't work. Go here for a whole list of Apps that can help you.
I personally like Music Rescue the most. You can get it here and use the License Key that they give out for FREE now.

How do I add a category in iBooks? I have a book with no category. I would like to put it in the Poetry category. How do I do that?

We have one book that has no category. We would like to move it to a category. If I categorize the books in the "books" section, it is the only one that is not categorized. I would like to put it in the Poetry section. How do I do that? I suppose I could make a poetry Collection and move it and all the other books categorized as poetry into the poetry Collection, but there ought to be a way just to add a category.

I got past the confusion of "Genre" in iTunes apparently being the same as "Category" in iBooks, and was able to change the genre/category to Poetry in iTunes. I tried syncing to iBooks, but the Category in iBooks was still blank. I deleted the book from iBooks and synced again. The book was transferred but the Category is still blank. Any more ideas?
