Is the 28.0 Firefox update causing this Mac-iPhoto-Email problem?
Driving me crazy. Since 28.0 update Firefox is reducing photo attachments to GIf size.
Okay I have placed my first photos from my new Canon Rebel SL1 in iPhoto '11 ( 9.43) on my again MacPro 1,1 running 10.7.5. No problem. They show as 526KB and 2.9MB jpegs in iPhoto. I export set to full size everything to desktop. Files now 1.2MB and 6.4 MB. I email them to a friend and they wind up as GIF size files of 22kb and 13kb.
I then email them to myself, both via Mail and AOL --- numerous times, attaching one or both, using Windoze Friendly or not, with new exports from iPhoto.
They all wind up as miserable 22KB (1.2MB file on desktop) or 13KB ( 6.4MB file on desktop) attachments.
I've never noticed this before and can find nothing in all my settings to suggest a probelm.
Just had a brand new Firefox update? I also installed and update lots of Canon Software with the brand new camera. Canon SU seems to work just fine on computer.
Is it coincidence that the first time this happened was after the update to Firefox 28.0
Sorry to dump this here. But my head is spinning trying to digest the Rebel SL1 -- Canon's "entry leve"l DSLR, that I picked to share with my 14 year old grand daughter who is showing a great eye.

Upon opening Server after the update has installed, it simply hangs for hours on end (more than 5 hours) on the above screen, with the progress bar showing about 1/3 complete. Please help!
-update-
Did not yet completely reset the server. (It's not mine… it's from a customer so completely resetting the server is really the last thing he wants to be done…)
but I've digged deeper into the problem and the logs.
Test: renaming the .plist files mentioned in the arcticle about resetting the server
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.serverd.plist > /Library/Preferences/com.apple.serverd-old.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.servermgrd.plist > /Library/Preferences/com.apple.servermgrd-old.plist
This triggers also a 'new setup' from the server instead of 'updating services'.
And even now the configuration of the server halted on the same place in the logs!
It's always in the part with 70_calendarcommonextra.py

and then some lines below
calendarcommonextra: Apr 16 11:36:48 Service was not previous enabled
and the it stops, and keeps waiting forever…
Then I've tried to expermiment a little bit in the /Library/Server folder with renaming some folder to see if thsi could solve the problem. (Because the folders are getting recreated with default settings and data). So I've renamed "Calendar and Contacts" and tested: No success. I've renamed "PostgreSQL" and tested: No success. …
When I read some articles about these problems most of the time the problem seems to be related to some 3th party from specific software is installed, like when someone installed another version of Python instead of using Apple's. The upgrade process does not seem to like this and freezes.
A quick look in the Downloads folder of this specific server showed an installer of pgAdmin, used to configre/control PostGreSQL databases… so -in this case- this was installed by another external company to do somehting on that server which I don't know what it does .
But for now, I've pinpointed the problem. The original PostGreS of OS X Server on this server is tampered/overwritten by another PostGreSQL and this will be the reason why the update does not work.
I have to phone that other company next week to see if they are aware of this issue, and hopefully they know how to fix this.

reading the ServerSetup.log is the first thing to do! -

This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.If it happens again then try to reload the website or clear the cache and the cookies from that website.

Since the most recent Firefox update 3.6.8 my banking institution no longer shows as having a secure encrypted connection, however, my bank assures me all is well with their certificates and that is a problem with the new Firefox browser update, can you give me some idea why it is doing this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Right after the new Firefox updateHello Anne.
Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results. -
Since the most recent Firefox update Flash (v.10.3) no longer works on some sites
I had problems with the Flash v.11.whatever recent upgrade so uninstalled it and installed v.10.3etc. It worked fine for all sites until the most recent Firefox update a few days ago (27th August, 2012?). Now Flash will not work on some sites e.g. UK's Channel 4 On Demand service. Other browsers work fine on same site e.g. Chrome. Can you guys at Mozilla try and get Firefox communicating with Flash again? Thanks.

Firefox is my default browser and since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links I receive from Windows Live Email to the Firefox browser, but it works if my browser is set to IE9?? I have checked the defaults settings and both are fine, so Any explanations or ideas on how to solve this?
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC). -
My latest pano photo have missing landscape. Some of the photos are merged into one. I can provide the examples. What could cause this problem on a new 5C?
Thanks for the input. I was finally able to find some test conditions that duplicated the problem, and it is either that or some other out-of-spec diffraction distortion. So I sent it off for repair.

I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that eitherYou would make address lables with the Contacts app.
If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself. -

What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8
What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with System Version:
Mac OS X 10.5.8It will depend on the actual model you have.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99 while Mavericks is free. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

I am a very brand new Mac user. So anyway, when I point to the apple and click on "About This Mac", it says the operating system is, "OS X Version 10.8.2. The question, is this "Mountain Lion", or is that additional software I need to download?

Yes 10.8.2 is the latest version of Mountain Lion. 10.7 was Lion and 10.6 was Snow Leopard.
