Just switched from IE, imported my favorites okay, but Firefox won't let me put new bookmarks in the folders. When I select "choose", it shoes no folders. Why?

Firefox doesn't seem to recognize the favorites folders I imported from IE. I can't save a bookmark in any folder I already had when I changed to FF. When I select "choose", my only choices are Bookmark Toolbar, Bookmark Menu or Unsorted Bookmarks. I badly need to put bookmarks in my imported folders.

'''All''' bookmarks are in one of those 3 main folders. The bookmarks and folders that were imported from IE should be in the '''Bookmarks Menu''' folder.
There should be two different "down arrow" buttons to the right of the folder name ''(the appearance differs by operating system - IMO it's the best on WinXP)'', the left one allows you to select one of those 3 main folders, and the one on the right allows you to see the folders in the main folder that is selected. ''A silly interface, IMO, but it's been that way through 3 major version releases, so it has been consistent in it's lack intuitiveness.''
You might want to look at the Add Bookmark Here ² extension - that type of "Add Bookmark" window should have been the default in Firefox 3.o and newer versions:

I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??

The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.

Just switched from pc to mac and need to install Lightroom 4. Can't seem to find the link on Adobe website.

I purchased Lightroom 4 a couple years ago for my pc. I just purchased a Mac over the weekend and would like to install Lightroom 4 on my new computer, but can't seem to find the link on the Adobe website. I'm trying to avoid having to purchase the program again.

HT4059 I downloaded a book and added it to my itunes, but it won't let me put it onto my iphone 5 from there. Any suggestions?

I downloaded a book from bookry and it added to my itunes, but when I try to add it to my iphone 5 from there nothing happens. I don't know what else to try. Any suggestions?

Hello evergreenchiro,
You may want to take a look at the article "Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store" and just download the book directly to the iPhone. the relevent part of that article will be found under Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS > Books on iOS
Hope that helps,

Please help: I've just switched from Windows

Dear Board,
I've just switched from Windows (purchased a Mac Pro for audio work) and I keep trying to right click the mouse for extra features like...(save, save as, open in new window, close) and none of these options seem to be available except as key commands.
Can someone instruct me on how to do this, if it is possible?
Thanks,
B3

Hi, B3.
1. If you have a two-button mouse, then Mac OS X should recognize the right-click to display the contextual menu for an object. However, some third-party mice, e.g. Microsoft Intellimouse, etc. may require you download and install the Mac drivers for such.
2. What mouse are you using?
3. If right-click isn't working, you press and hold the Control key, then click with mouse button 1 (left mouse button by default). Then release the Control key.
4. There are fewer contextual menu choices in Mac OS X than in Windows, but I'd also not run out and download all sorts of third-party contextual menu items willy-nilly as these can be problematic.
5. Since you just switched from Windows:• When looking for new applications, I recommend searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
• My "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ has a number of resources that you will find helpful including books, online training, switching from Windows to Mac, and more.Good luck!

I just purchased an album off iTunes but it won't let me download one song...

I just purchased an album off iTunes but it won't let me download one song off the album due to a -100000 error. It tells me to check for available downloads on the "store" bar, and when I click it, the file still won't download. What should I do?~ Any advice would be appreciated. =^w^=

Hello TheCoddfish,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
So it sounds like you have a preorder you would like to download, but it is not downloading, or you dont have the option to download it.
Without knowing what the preorder was, and if it is released, I found this article named iTunes Store: About Pre-orders found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714.
This part in particular:
Downloading a pre-ordered item
When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.
To view, cancel, or see the expected release dates for your pending pre-orders
Choose Store > View My Appie ID, then click Manage Pre-orders, which located in the Settings section at the bottom of the Account Information screen in iTunes on your computer.
From the Mange Pre-orders screen, click the Cancel button to the right of the pre-order item you would like to cancel. You'll be asked to confirm your pre-order cancellation.
If the album is released and you still cannot download it, I would report the issue directly to the iTunes Store support.

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

I just switched from Aperture to Lightroom and PS CC. My images exported from LR and PS suffer color loss. Where do I begin to correct this problem?

I just switched from Aperture to LR and PS CC. My exported images suffer color loss? How do I correct the issue?
I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark III in Adobe 1998 Color Space. I've been exporting JPEGS for web with Color Space sRGB.

Does your issue have anything to do with switching from Aperture?
In other words, if you take a new photograph with your camera, and import it in Lightroom, then export it, is there still a problem?
Or is the problem somehow tied to transition from Aperture, or photos migrated from Aperture...?
I'm guessing the reason you brought up Aperture is that you did not have export "color loss" issues in Aperture, like you are having in Lightroom, but since you didn't say... (just want to be sure).

I just switched from a PC and am installing googlemail on my macbook. it has successfully connected my calendar and contacts. But my mail is not linking. i get a unable to connect to the server message. any ideas wise ones pls

i have just switched from a PC and installing my googlemail account onto my Macbook pro. I can successfully see my calendar and contacts but my mail will not connect. i get an error message - can not connect to the server. Any ideas please?

Neil,
I don't use Apple's Mail client (I use MS Outlook) but setting up your Gmail account should be fairly straightforward. Just make certain that you have your settings correct.
For your incoming server, be sure to use the "map.gmail.com" server, using SSL, using port "993" (usually the default).
For your outgoing server, be sure to use the "smtp.gmail.com" server, override the default port and use port "465" and use SSL to connect and make sure that you enter your email address and password to access the SMTP server.
If you've already set up your account with these settings, you may need to Google "gmail setup apple mail" and find the Google document relating to same.
Good luck,
Clinton

Hi, Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am used to using ACR in CS6 with it's preview checkbox in the upper right-hand corner. I do not see that checkbox in PS CC. I see that they have added side-by-side, right and left and top and bottom before and after

Hi,
Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am very comfortable using ACR in previous versions. I liked to use the preview checkbox located in the upper right-hand corner to see before and afters. That checkbox is no longer in my version of PS CC. I see that they have side-by-side, top and bottom and right and left before and after options in the lower right-hand corner in this version. Is there anyway to get that legacy preview checkbox back so that I can use it?

Hi Warunicorn,
Thank you very much. I just could not find it on my own. I will have more questions as I get into it.

I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air. How do I do that?

I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air. Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too). I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me. If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:
