Just this past week, I noticed that Firefox is not keeping my passwords. This is MADDENING. I'm on a Mac, but it seems many are having this issue. I don't see a solution given for this. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE FIXED??? I like FF the way is USED to be!

It seems Firefox has stopped retaining passwords. This happens with all of my accounts. I must fill in the password manually.
This password issue is not computer specific either. It happens on my G5 as well.
What's going on???

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

I have uninstalled and re-downloaded firefox 3 times now and each time I get and error message saying that firefox is not a valid windows image? I download it from your website but to no availe

This is the error message I get when I try and open Firefox:
''The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\WSOCK32.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.''

wsock32.dll is a Windows System file which is used to connect to the internet. if you are seeing this error message then its probably because either your Antivirus program might have moved this file to the Virus Chest or this file was Deleted mistakenly. Try Restoring this file from your Anti Virus software or check if it is still available in the Recycle Bin folder.
If above suggestions don't work, see this:
''This error is a tough one as it severely limits the programs or apps that you can run in Windows. This error pops up every time you try to open a program in windows, well not every program but most. Most spyware programs can’t be ran because this error pops up and prevents it.''
''One would think that the solution would be to repair the invalid .dll, but what ended up fixing it for me was extracting a fresh copy of explorer.exe. It looks like explorer.exe had gotten corrupt for some reason and was causing the bad image errors with certain .dll s.''
''To repair the problem open up '''msconfig''', it is actually one of the few programs in windows that would still open. To open it click on Start -> Run ->Type in '''msconfig''' and hit Enter. Once it is open click on the button that says “Expand File”. From there you will select the file that needs replaced and the location of the good file. Most of the time the good file can be found in the i386 folder of your XP install cd. My msconfig didn’t like the directory “C:\Windows\System32\ that was already filled in, so browse to the Windows\system32 directory and it should work just fine.''
''Expand the file, it will look like nothing happened, that is normal. Reboot the computer and you should not get the errors anymore.''
''To be safe, I expanded the Wsock32.dll file as well, so if for some reason your error still persists try expanding the dll file too.''

Check and tell if its working.

When I click on "send link" thunderbird doesn't open , the way it used to

When I'm on line and want to send a link via email, when I click on "send Link", thunderbird doesn't pop up with the email page ready for sending. I used to be able to click on send link, type the person's email address and click send and it's done

I am unable to connect to my home wifi, i was fine in a hotel this past week with the wifi

Question I am unable to connect to my home wifi, I was fine in a hotel this past week with their wifi, I am not that technical and need help also how do I find my operating system info??

Go to settings, general, about, and you will see "version." That will indicate what your operating system is such as 5.0.1 which is the most recent upgrade.
As for the wifi, you might try going to settings, then general, then at the bottom reset, then click on reset network settings. Back out of everything and then when you log back onto your wifi it will ask you for your local password (assuming you gave it one when your router was set up). Enter it and you should be good for go. At least this worked for me.
Good luck.

I've had my Mac since Feb, just this past week when I turn it on, the apple symbol shows and the loading icon appears, and that's all it does for hours and it never starts up.

Hello,
I have had my MacBook Pro since February/March of this year. It has been working fine, up until this past week.
It froze on me one day, and I couldn't not do a force quit or anything so my only option was to hold the power button until it shut off.
It then reboots and it stays on the apple load up screen for hours. I then read the manual and tried the disk utility and it couldn't verify or repair my disk until after the sixth try.
Once I did repair it, I rebooted and once again I had the start up screen for like a day, until I just finally resulted in an erase install.
The erase install failed the first two times, and finally worked the third. My computer was doing fine for a day, I was reinstalling apps that came with the Applications disk.
Upon using software update to get the latest Snow Leopard Update 10.6.8 that is used to prepare for the Lion OS X Update, it downloaded, but after about two hours, the install failed, and none of the updates installed.
It told me to restart, and once I restarted my computer yesterday evening, it is STILL currently sitting at the apple load up screen. STILL.
I do have the Apple Care for four years, and I was trying to see what all could happen before I have to ship it off. I am a college student, and this resulted in me losing all my papers, work, and things that I've done so far, because I was unable to back up files.
I thought buying a Mac was a great choice because things like this usually don't happen! But I guess not!
Can anyone PLEASE help find a solution to this?

Thanks for that information!

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

I just bought two new songs this past week....

I just bought two new songs this past week, and now they're missing from my iphone and my computer library. I went to purchase one of the songs from Itunes store again - and it actually downloaded, not recognizing that I had bought it before! What happened? And I'm totally going to get charged for the one song, and I don't even have the other now
Please help!

https://discussions.apple.com/message/19943090#19943090
there's a chance that iTunes deleted the song. Don't worry, you're not the only one with this problem. Other problems may include, but are not limited to missing album artwork, missing albums, incomplete albums, duplicates, and other exasperating shenanigans.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone. See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

Unplug stopped working this past week so I downloaded 2.052 like suggested and still not working.

Have enjoyed Unplug and all of a sudden this past week it stopped working completely, not only on YouTube but Vimeo too. Updated like suggested but still not working.

Please contact the developer by email at [email protected] as this is an add-on and not a Firefox issue.

Question When I do a search for an image I only have a limited number of images. There used to be a ton of pictures on my screen and an unlimited amount of pictures to look through. Is there a way of changing this back to the way it used to be???

Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

Until tonight my Mafia Wars Tool bar worked great. It has disappeared! I tried to reinstall it and got an error that Firefox could not modify a file that is needed. Please help me with this!

I have lost my Zynga Tool bar and when I try to reinstall it, downloads but fails during the install process telling me that Firefox can not modify a file that it needs to.

boken, Welcome to the discussion area!
First of all I thought the ipod shuffle had a year warranty like the rest of them. Is that true?
Yes that it is true. The iPod shuffle has the same warranty as every other iPod. See KB 302110, iPod shuffle troubleshooting and service FAQ and www.apple.com/support/products/applecareipod.html
