Is there a Firefox rev I can install and use on my iMac OS 8.5?

We have an old iMac (one of the original blue plastic "bubbles") and I would like to move some files off of it. We have no writeable media hardware, but I was hoping I could attach files to email via a browser....
Suggestions?

Silk... The USB flash route was our first attempt, there's nothing as quick as the sneaker-net, alas the 8.5 has no flash write support. It seemed like a no-brainer to me too.....
That solution requires an OS update, something we're not anxious to attempt until this important data is recovered.... lest there's a major failure. The box is over 10 yrs old and has lived it's life in a harsh environment near the sea, so corrosion-based hardware failure is the constant threat, plus there just aren't so many expert OS reasourses around for consultation anymore... MOST people have simply moved on.
The only thing one has to do is to "flatten" the file for DOS to understand it. the glory (& waste of space) of the HFS (and it's variants) is that all "files" reall means ''files'' (with a capital S)! That is, there are two for each item the user perceives.
What DOS does with a name trailer (like " .txt ") and a systems file associations table, MacOS does with a "Resource fork file" that is paired with the "Data fork file" to help their (weak) OS figure out what applications goes with each user created data file.
Ironically an ascii-text file in MacOS is the only file that doesn't have to be flattened to be used elsewhere. (A text file is a text file, the world around - which is why one uses them to generate program source code.)
I really don't like the use of "Fork" for the file structure paradigm, either. Fork (and the subsequent Exec) has an explicit process-generating meaning in many operating systems (Linux/Unix for example) that is a significantly higher function than simple file storage organization.

How to install and use icloud in imac windows 7 based

Have you carefully read iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud & iCloud on a Mac?, What do I need? If you are trying to run on Windows 7 on your iMac and ignoring OS X well you're pretty much on your own. You would need to look for supports on Windows forums. If you happen to use BootCamp there is a Bootcamp forum that you can post on for BootCamp and Windows assistance.

I have a G4 Powerbook with Tiger OS, is there a version of Firefox that I can install and get the benefits of using it.

My computer is a Powerbook G4 is there a version of Firefox Software that will work?

Assuming the battery is not working, I know of no other way to access the data without ripping open the PowerBook. Third-party adaptors are still available and the price is much less than Apple used to charge:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/APLPBI65W/
The other option is, as I hinted above, to open up the PowerBook and extract the hard drive. Once out of the powerbook you use a device like this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/U3NVSPATA/
It allows you to attach the bare drive from the PB to a USB port on teh MacBook Pro. The drive will appear on the MBPs desktop just as if it were and external drive in an enclosure.

Upgraded to Firefox 4.0 Can see and use all old bookmarks folders and bookmarks, but cannot see any of the old folders when I attempt to bookmark a new page- only see Bookmarks toolbar & Menu and unsorted bookmarks

Had several bookmarks folders under old Firefox. After upgrade to 4.0 all of these still work via bookmarks menu. Problem is, when I attempt to bookmark a new page and place it in one of my existing bookmarks folders with 4.0, the only folders that Firefox can see are the bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and unsorted bookmarks. How do I get Firefox to see the old folders so that I can continue to put bokmarked pages in them??

In the "Edit this Bookmark" window, use the 2nd drop-down button, that is to the right of the "Folder", to open a larger window that will allow more folder to appear. See the sloppy red arrow on the screenshot below.

I can't find home sharing in music on my iPad. It used to be under "more" but it's not there any longer. I can see and use it on my iPhone, just not my iPad. Any suggestions?

I just set up iCloud to sync my iPhone and iPad...it worked fine before.

Problem with OCI call and how to install and use 'DEBUG_EXTPROC' on Linux

Hi,
Can any one let me know how I can install and use this debug_extproc package. I have installed oracle XE server on Linux machine(32-bit).
When I use : DEBUG_EXTPROC.STARTUP_EXTPROC_AGENT' ... i get an error saying that : it is not declared.
I tried looking in all the directories but did not find the dbgextp.sql(which is required in order to install that package).And tried searching on google but could not get any relevant information.
Also I am newbie to OCI call interface and also to C programming too: I have coded a external procedure or custom user aggregate in C. But since I was using C++ : 'set' STL. I have compiled my program using g++ instead of gcc and I have correspondingly modified the make file in public/demo directory.
So, is it fine to do it that way: using OCI (instead of OCCI(C++)) but again compiling the pgm as a regular C++ using g++ instead of gcc.(But rest of the pgm including printf statements : everything is in C).
Also I have created the library from my : custagg.so library:
SQL> create or replace library custagg is '$ORACLE_HOME/lib/custagg.so'
But my aggregate function implemented as external C function using OCI is either not recognised or else : if recognized then there is some error because of which i am getting the following errors : ORA-06522
SQL> select MinDistance(TT) from egg1;
select MinDistance(TT) from egg1
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06520: PL/SQL: Error loading external library
ORA-06522: /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/custagg.so:
cannot dynamically load executable
Please kindly answers my queries and trying to resolve this for almost 4 days now and could not find any clue on how to get this done.
Thanks,

Can you please tell me whether PLSQL/Oracle is able to locate the file or not. Incase, if it is locating the file but due to some error in the custagg.so it is throwing that error. If this is the case, is there any way that i can debug the C program .....how can i install the debug_extproc package.. I am really new to C & OCI ... if the custagg.so is being located then there might be some problem with the way I am dynamically allocating memory to some variables.
Please kindly reply to this Post/response.
Please let me know if you also want to see my program code.

Is there any way that to install and use firefox remotely on centos 6?

Hello everyone
i rent a dedicated server that using centos 6...I'm going to browse through the internet with that.can anyone tell me, is there any way that to install and use firefox remotely on centos?
(just like utorrent server)
tnx

Install a proxy server on the centos machine and configure your local Firefox to connect through that proxy.
If you really want to run Firefox on the centos machine, install a VNC server instead.
(Obviously, use Google if you don't know what that means ;)

Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

I have a MacBook. In previous versions of Firefox I could zoom in or out using my trackpad. Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

That is not a Firefox addon, it is an installer package that can install anything it wants on your PC. As far as why it installed on IE and not Firefox, that would be a question for technical support for that product.

Is there any way how i can download and run Window based games, with out installing Windows-thus Bootcamp? and if so, is it free?

No, you must install Windows to run Windows software. You do not need to use Boot Camp (yes, it's free because it comes with OS X.)
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.
