In a change from Dial-up to Broadband, can I upgrade Mozilla add ons on Foxfire 3.6.28 in 10.4.11 operating system so I can watch videos?
I have a Mac mentor who gave me an old iBook out of the kindness of her heart and I've enjoyed using it very much. I can't afford to buy a new laptop.
I just changed to Broadband so I can get faster reception and watch videos and listen to audios on the Net. I want to copy videos from Utube, but I don't get continuous reception, but only longer segments than before with a jerk in between. There is a notice in the upper right hand corner of the screen that asks me to upgrade plug ins, but I fear that my 10.4.11 operating system will not support the upgrade. Do I have to and can I upgrade my operating system on an old iBook that was conceived in the early stages of Mac laptops or can I just upgrade the plug ins that I have? I'm afraid to change what is there. Can someone help me do this myself without bothering my busy mentor with something that I ought to be able to do myself?

You can update Flash Player to 10.1.102.64, which is the last version that works on your system. This should be sufficient for most sites.

You can use the Video DownloadHelper add-on to save videos from sites like YouTube.

If that's the computer you used to ask the question, then no. It has a PowerPC processor. To run the latest version of Firefox, you need at least Mac OS X 10.6, which in turn requires an Intel processor ([http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 see system requirements for Mac OS X 10.6]).
Note that your operating system, browser and plug-ins, all contain security vulnerabilities that put your computer at risk. You can switch your browser to TenFourFox, an up-to-date third-party build of Firefox that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 on PPC processors. However, it doesn't support plug-ins (like Flash Player).

I cannot watch videos streamed from my PC to my Ipad on my TV using the HDMI adapter, I get sound but no picture although the picture shows on the Ipad screen.
Can anyone tell me why this should be and whether there is a solution?How does one "flatten the annotations? Do you need Acrobat to do it? Can you do it on the pdf or do you have to change it to a word doc?

I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5. I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone. My operating system is Mavericks.
launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

After using "migration assistant" from my old iMac to my new iMac, some tools stick while using Photoshop CS 6 Extended. My current operation system is 10.10 Yosemite. I was wondering if UN installing then RE installing CS 6 might solve the problem. If this is recommended, I would need complete instructions on doing this. I have there serial number for the product.
using migration assistant is problematic.
at this point yes, you should uninstall everything migrated, clean and then reinstall properly using the installation files.

I have transferred my purchased apps to my computer, then updated my IPAD operating system as directed. This erased all my apps from my IPAD. How do I get my apps from my computer back onto the IPAD. Simple syncing does not seem to work. I also have another IPAD synced with this computer, if that matters.

Changed from dial up to high speed
The area I live in finally has high speed (wireless), so I have a new ISP and broadband connection. Also Internet Exlporer was acting up so I now am using Firefox.
If I put in a new cd to download to my ipod (5th gen.) I get...unable to connect to the CDDB server. Network connection timed out. I called my ISP and all is ok. also can't buy any tunes. In frustration I've downloaded itunes again with my new user name. This page had my old user name. I've flushed the DNS settings in widows. I've spent hours yesterday trying to get this, which must be a simple thing, to work and came within an eyelash of putting my fist through the monitor!
I tried calling the help line with it's push 1 for this and 3 for that and on and on, what a joke, got nowhere.
Does anyone know it this is firefox, or something not set correctly, and how to set it, or what the heck is the problem?Is this the error?

I have 2 screen and the dock is changing from one screen to another , can I stop it (Mac OS 10.9.1)
Hello , I have 2 screens , and the dock is moving from one to the other screen at any time .
I would like to "paste" it on one screen
How should I do?
Thanks for your helpHello there, BHDock.
The following Knowledge Base article explains how the Dock works in Mavericks:
OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5891
Working with the Dock
When the Dock is configured to appear at the bottom of your screen, it's available on whichever screen you’re working on. Just move your pointer to the bottom of either display. When the Dock is configured for the left or right position, it appears on the leftmost or rightmost display edge.
The Dock settings are located in System Preferences.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Changed from PC to mac and can't open some file
Mac store transferred my files from PC to mac when purchased iMac. frequently some of those files will not open and I receive this reason:
Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). This also sometimes happens when I try to open a jpg. and those sometimes are files I have added myself from photos I added.
Is there any way I can recover these? Or should I just forget it and trash them?Note, you don't need Adobe Reader to view PDFs in OS X. There is a built-in application called "Preview" which does an excellent job with PDFs. It is faster and it is more lightweight.
When you install Reader, it takes over PDF rendering in your web browsers and it sets itself to the default PDF reader.
This is a bit of a tangent, but I recommend you first try opening the PDFs with Preview, and see if you can open the files. If so, then it's probably a Reader issue. If not, the files are probably corrupt. You may wish to see if you can try transferring them again, if you still have access to them.
As far as JPEGs, Preview can also view them, so give it a try.
If Preview works, then definitely consider uninstalling Adobe Reader. It's a heavyweight, bloated, slow piece of crap. -
Changed from macbook to Mac Pro (FCPX was upgraded) and don't know how to restore projects.
Hi,
Now I'm in trouble.
I was working last year with a MacBookPro and FCPX.
Everything nice and well.
I dediced to upgrade to MacPro, so I did a "backup" of all my Events and Projects folders of the MacBook Pro, and waited for the MacPro arrival...
Now when the MacPro downloaded the software, it has a newer FCP version and I don't know how to restore my old projects.
Could somebody help me to know where to restore my old projects and events? (it was a lot of job done to loose it now).
Thanks in advance.Don't worry. It is more than worthy to upgrade to the new FCP X 10.1.1.
Plus, the process of updating your projects and events to the new version, which uses libraries, is pretty straightforward.
Before you proceed, I recommend you read up
here:
http://www.philiphodgetts.com/2013/12/upgrade-your-events-and-project-to-fcp-x-1 0-1-libraries-the-better-way/
and follow the video tutorials in

and then come back if you have more questions. -

Why can't I order from qvc through Firefox although i can watch video's etc.
I can order through IE but when I try to order using Firefox it won't go through to and order.
Most VOIP phone lines do not support faxing because they compress voice signal a lot to save bandwidth. If your fax software allows you to choose a faxing speed, you can try setting your fax modem to the slowest speed to see if that helps. If you only need to send fax, you can use GotFreeFax.com to send free fax online.

Why is Bookmark Favicon Changer missing from the add-ons list?
The Bookmark Favicon Changer add-on is currently installed on my browser [ESR 31.2.0] and it seems to work, although imperfectly. Yet the add-on pages (https://addons.mozilla.org/) do not list it at all, as far as I can see. What's going on?
The developer was flaunting the rules that AMO operates under. AMO cut him some slack, and provided a month warning about uploading an updated version. '''Then''' that extension was downgraded, and after warning the developer again and not getting a response from the developer Mozilla disabled the listing for that extension. All he had to do was to upload a new "fixed" version to have that extension enabled again.
Fair or unfair, the rules are the rules. Violate the rules and you're liable to be tossed out. ''I use 6 different extensions that aren't hosted at AMO; two were pulled from AMO years ago due to "new rules" similar to what this developer didn't like and the other 4 were never hosted at AMO for one reason of another.'' And at least Mozilla doesn't do like some of the App stores and restrict add-ons to being installed '''only''' from the Mozilla Add-ons website or Market Place as will soon be known. Add-on developers still have the choice to host add-ons on their own website, and users still have the choice to install add-ons from any website that they want to.
As far as "notification" goes - why would Mozilla want to do that? Mozilla didn't like a "call" the developer was using, so why should Mozilla contact users? And how would Mozilla even go about contacting users? There's no "registry" of users for each extension that is kept by Mozilla, and IMO keeping track users like that would violate each users privacy. Who wants to be tracked in that manner? -
Ff6.0.2: New Instance of Awesome Bar's default search changing from Google.
The default search engine for my Awesome Bar changed from Google to Yahoo after today's update to 6.0.2.
This issue is similar to http://bit.ly/pRq0SM - but like I said, I'm on v6.
I'm unable to change this back to Google (or ''from'' anything other than Yahoo), even after disabling all add-ons, checking settings in about:config, and completely removing Yahoo from my search-engine options.
For anyone interested in replying, '''''please note''''' that I'm talking about the ''Awesome Bar'' - ''not'' the Search Bar. The Awesome Bar isn't so awesome if I still have to rely on the Search Bar.
Thanks! :-)Oh, thanks! You've made my day.
IMHO the better solution would be to add some configuration option for the address bar search engine in browser configuration wizard. This new "feature" makes search bar useless, as for me. -
Changed from Iphone to Xperia Z1 and cant receive texts from iphone users
i recently changed from Iphone to Z1 but can not receive text messages from a lot of iphone users ( i can from some which i strange). i have turned off the Imessage setting on the old Iphone and let it sit for 30mins for apple servers to identify this. i have also done a software repair via PC Companion but still doesnt work.
any suggestions?The thing is that your friends still using iPhone must remove you from iMessage. Otherwise you might end up with this problem.
