IBook migration to Macbook not working, and have tried every solution I have seen on the internet, still my new MB will not recognize the ibook. Plz help if you can.
It's pretty much what I have seen others write about, only I have not gotten any of their solutions to work. Last thing I tried was a new firewire cable. The mb can't see my ibook wirelessly either. Now I have a new computer and no way to really use it. This is probably my 20th Mac and I have been using them since 1988, and this is just about the very first time I have been frustrated with a Mac, unable to fix it, and ready to send it back. So any help here would be appreciated.
Which exact model is the iBook? Is it the Mac that's running Mac OS X 10.4.11? The System Profiler (Applications > Utilities > System Profiler) will tell you, but if you're not sure, you can choose from this list:

Which exact model is the MacBook? Again, the System Profiler will tell you, but If you're not sure, you can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
(I'm assuming it's not the latest MacBook because the new ones are no longer equipped with FireWire ports.)
Which version of the OS is the MacBook running?

Even if the two could connect wirelessly, it's not advisable to do larger transfers in that way. It is painfully slow.

Flah player is not working and ive tried everything
Ok, so i have installed the latest flash player but its still not working on sites likes e4.com/skins, the videos there will not play. This is weird because ive watched videos on the site before.
Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the app adobe gives u to completely remove it but nothing is working. Ive checked that the flash player has installed properly by checking on the adobe website and everything is working fine. The add ons are all enabled and so on.
The video on the website loads with a black screen where the video should be but nothing happens.
This is getting very annoying, help would be nice.
I am on windows vista and im using internet explorer 8. The videos also dont work on safari or firefox even though i have got flash player for those browsers. Ive tried scanning my computer to see if i have any virusis but bit defender says im clean.In view and manage add ons these two were the only two there,

In firefox their was swf vs 10.0.32.18 and that was enabled.
I went to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and this was what was in there Flash10d.ocx, flashplayer.xpt, FlashUtil10d, install (tetx document), NPSWF32.dll, NPSWF32_FlashUtil, uninstall_activeX, uninstall_plugin.
The java entries are java 6 update 6 and java 6 update 18 and the flash player 10 activex is listed.

Hi, Using IE find "View and manage your internet explorer add-ons">all add-ons. Look for Shockwave Flash Object...
ActiveX Control....Flash10d.ocx and ensure that it is enabled.
In FF, look for SWF vs 10.0.42.34 and ensure that it is enabled.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash. Open the Flash folder and post back every entry that is listed there.
In Programs and Features post back the Java entries with version #'s and while you are there just note that Flash Player 10 ActiveX is listed.
If you have any questions or need info to obtain the Flash folder info, just post back.
Thanks,

Since installing Windows 7 professional via bootcamp onto my 2008 24" imac i have no sound. The sound worked when i had Windows xp installed. I have tried every solution suggested on various forums. Can you please help me?
After you install Apple driver to enable the audio chip, YOU then need to manually download and install (Cirrus or Realtek audio depending on the Mac).

imessaging on ipod touch doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!
Short of a reset to factory settings I've found making sure iMessaging is not left minimised helps. It doesn't seem to keep its connection. So, by closing after each use this helps. I've been doing this since I logged out of iMessaging at least 1/2 doz times and even changed my apple id pw as this had ceased to be recognised. I get fewer send failures now and don't have an inactive send button so much. Having said this its all a bit of a work around as iMessaging isn't behaving as it once did. If over time not resolved will do factory reset. All the best.

Eddie,
There is a forum specifically for Boot Camp & MS Windows users. Because that is where the Boot Camp guru's hang out I'd recommend re-posting there. -

Well, it is showing as being install in the version of Firefox that you posted here with.

I have tried every method I've found on Mozilla threads from modifying the profile.ini file to merging the profile folders, etc. I have the original Thunderbird profile (including all folders, inbox, sent items etc) on the original hard drive that is set up as a secondary hard drive (E:) in the new computer.
No matter what I try, I can't get Thunderbird to pick up that old profile. I've uninstalled and re-installed T-Bird nearly a dozen times now (and deleted the folders from the AppData folders) to try to get it to pick up the original profile.
Any suggestions????Create a new profile and copy the old one over it.

Re-installing Thunderbird is a complete waste of time. It won't do anything to your profile. -

I am running W7 and FF 14.01. My admin account FF works fine. My working account has the problems. In the past I have been able to get the bookmarks back but not this time.

My Flash player does not work and I have tried every solution I found online
Last week I became unable to use Youtube, Grooveshark and other sites that use Flash. On Youtube I just get a black box and when I right click on it it says "movie not loaded". Grooveshark tells me I may have a flash blocker, which I have not consciously installed. Also, when I try to log on to IMDB I just get a big empty white box instead of the sign in fields.
I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 20.0.1 and Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169
I did some research online and already addressed all the issues that people claimed could cause this problem.
I have already tried: re-installing Flash, re-installing Firefox, switching over to Google Chrome, cleaning my cache and doing a system restore. Nothing worked.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to fix Flash? Any ideas what might be going wrong? Could it be resulting from a Windows update? Did something get deleted when I ran a Ccleaner scan to wipe free space? How can I get Flash working again?This person seems to have the same problem as me and it happened to him or her around the same time:

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:
