Instructions immediately talk about Firefox Window, but doesn't say how to get this window.

It's taken me almost an hour to get to this point. I am technologically challenged. I have an old version of Firefox. The instructions immediately launch into the "Firefox Window" but says nothing about how to get to this window. Where is this window? Maybe I should just download Opera?

What instructions are you talking about and what do you want to accomplish?
Note that it is not safe to use such an outdated Firefox version that has known disclosed security vulnerabilities, so please update to the current Firefox 33 release.

HT1589 This doesn't work in Windows 8. Anybody know how to get this dialog box in Windows 8?

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

"Accept" button says I need to purchase app, but doesn't say how

I purchased a new MacBook Pro in January. I setup accounts for myself (admin), son, and daughter (both Mac OS X users and Apple IDs). Yesterday I noticed from my Apple ID that the App Store said iMovie and iPhoto needed to be updated. I tried updating them, but it said they were purchased from another Apple ID, and I had to upgrade using that Apple ID. I logged into my son's Apple ID, ran App Store, and sure enough he had "Installed" them 4 weeks ago, along with GarageBand. I'm guessing this install was actually an upgrade since they came pre-installed on the machine. However, I'm not sure how this happened. He's downloaded other games, but doesn't recall ever updating anything.
In any case at this point what I want to do is disassociate these apps from my son's Apple ID so I can control their upgrade from my Apple ID. I tried deleting them from the LaunchPad. However, for GarageBand this left it in a state where I need to purchase it for $14.99. For iMovie and iPhoto, when I search for them for purchase, they are displayed with an "Accept" button rather than an "Install" button. When I click on "Accept" I get the following message:
"These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID.
These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications."
Problem is I can't find any way to purchase them from my Apple ID. How do I change the "Accept" button to a "Purchase" button?
BTW, I also tried deleting the apps and restoring from an old Time Zone backup, but still had the same problem. There's some database on the machine that associates these apps with my sons AppleID even though originally the came pre-installed.

Thanks for the info. Seems kind of messed up though. Why would Apple let any random user of a machine control all future upgrades of critical apps. I guess perhaps my admin password was needed at some point, which my son has. Still, seems this is something you should be able to undo.
I'm starting to get a clearer pictures of what's going on. These 3 apps are part of iLife 11 and normally cost $14.95 each. They come pre-installed on new machines, but it looks like at some point you need to associate this "purchase" with an Apple ID, and can only associate it with one Apple ID. Thus they are now irrevocably associated with my son's Apple ID.
However, if I wanted to shell out the money, it seems I should be able to tell this particular mac to forget everthing it knows about the purchase of these apps, and re-purchase them from another Apple ID. Although I doubt I'd do that at this point, if I by a 2nd Mac and properly associated these apps with my Apple ID on this 2nd mac, I should then be able to use this "purchase" to download the apps to the first mac I'm having a problem with. However, currently I can't even see a way to do this. Is there some App Store cache I can trash so App Store no longer knows which apps were installed by which Apple ID?

Having problems accessing any apps on my iCloud. Set up and signed in successfully but then when I click on an app it just says there's a problem but doesn't say how to fix it. Please help, am very new to this!

Hi
I am very new to updating my iPod touch and this is the first time I've used the iCloud. However, I am having problems accessing any apps on my iCloud such as photos, reminders etc. I've set it up on my iPod touch successfully and I can sign in on my PC. However, when I try to access any of the apps it says there was a problem. It doesn't tell me how to fix it or what the problem is.
Is anyone able to help?

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

How to get standard Windows (7) title bars in Visual Studio 2013 Express?

With the "title bar" background color changing when active vs inactive like all my other Windows.
Using Win 7 in "Windows Classic" theme.

Hi sponge_bob_128,
>>How to get standard Windows (7) title bars in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
Based on your issue, could you please tell me more detailed message about your issue.
For example:
(1)What did you would like to do in the Visual Studio 2013 Express?
(2) If you want to develop a program like the "title bar" background color changing when active vs inactive from the VS2013 Express.
Generally, I know that when we set the theme as "Windows Classic" theme on the Windows 7 and then start two VS windows, it will show an active VS window like the following screen shot.
To further help you solve this issue, please tell me more detailed message for me.

Firefox 'opens' but doesn't/won't open an actual browser window?

Firefox Beta 4 has crashed out on me several times, but since the most recent crash Firefox will 'open,' but doesn't actually open a new browser window. Even if I go to the menu and manually select "new window" it doesn't do so. Nor can I submit comments under the "Firefox Makes Me Happy/Sad because..." tabs. It's simply not opening new windows. When I go to the force-quit window, it doesn't show up as hanging, however. Two close outs of Firefox, and two restarts of the computer have not resolved the issue.
Most recent attempt to generate a new browser window generated the following error codes:

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Hi! I have downloaded a ready-made website and I can't seem to open it. The "theme" install instructions are talking about a "zip" file which I cannot see. Would anyone know why I can't open it? PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!

Hi Everybody
I have downloaded three "ready-made" websites for me and it is supposed to have Wordpress in as well. I can see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them. It refers to a "zip" file which I don't see nor a "dmg", only a blue folder. Can anyone help me to figure out how to get this open and set up on my computer? I guess you can tell I'm new and very frustrated. Thank you!

It's not clear what you mean by 'see the folders in my downloads but I can't open them', although it seems possible that a zip file opened/unzipped to create them.
Perhaps if you include a screenshot, and/or a link to the site where you got these, and describe exactly what happens when you try to open a folder that won't open.

HP Protect tool password manager not working with the new version of Mozilla: I got this alert: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program." please help

I have an HP ProBook 4520s. I have been using HP Protect tool's Password manager to store and manage my passords for all Login websites in Firefox 3.6. As a result, I just swiped my fingerprint to log on to any website.
After I installed the version 4 of Firefox, my all my login details do not work anymore. I have tried to reset them but I repeatedly get this error: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program."
something like this would have been passed onto the address: "dpql://c:\program%20files%20(x86)\hewlett-packard\hp%20protecttools%20security%20manager\bin\dpminionlineids.dll/qlinkload.htm#id=2".
Although the password manager works with Internet Explorer 9, I need it to work with Firefox 4 as this is my preferred browser.
Please help. Thank you!

I guess this means that IE is more user friendly for HP Password Manager finger swipe recall of passwords, a favorite of mine. I still don't see a post from Firefox as to why they haven't produced fix. So I'll switch to IE until things change. I don't see value in downgrading to a Firefox version that's no longer going to be supported.
