On F3 (or F8) and the closing of SOME windows.

Hi there,
when I press F3 (or fn F8 as I have the tiny keyboard) I can see all the windows open on my desktop. At times I lose control of how many windows I have open at the same time, so I was wondering whether it is possible, in F3 mode or otherwise, to select some windows and close them at the same time, instead of getting each of the unwanted windows brought to the foreground and only then close them. It is quite frustrating at times.
I have already posted in teh OSX section, but got naught replies:( I am really surprised as it seems to me such an obvious thing to have and connot believe it is not possible.
Look forward to receiving your pearls of wisdom:)
Thanks,
A.

Hello AlexCornejo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode. Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
Take care,
Alex H.

When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder?

When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder? The endless scrolling technique is far too tedious when trying to add a new bookmark, because the window is simply too tiny. Is there maybe a plug-in that will let me grab the corner of that window and re-size it? Thanks!

I suggest you install the "Add Bookmark to Here2" extension, then you can expand the the list but you will not see the bookmark itself in the list if that is what you wanted. At the top you have three major folders you can select one of them and scroll up and down. Below that you have your most recently used folders and you can select one of them instead and scroll up and down. You can see the folder the bookmark is in -- they get added to the bottom
If you really want to see the bookmark within the folder the same extension allows you to bring the bookmark to the folder from say the bookmarks sidebar that is why it is named as such. I use it but mainly i use the dialog.
Please continue reading about bookmarks and some related extensions at

* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#addbookmarkhere2
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm
If you are not using tags at all, you can remove a whole lot of confusion by removing them from the dialog via the extension.

I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

I have purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 and the old computer had Windows Vista and was very slow. I need to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 3 and put it on the new computer. Is this possible and what do I need to do?

I have purchased an new computer with the Windows 8.1 OS. The old computer had Windows Vista and is just about to quit working altogether. I wish to uninstall it on that computer and deactivate it; so that I may install the software that I purchased (some years ago, but hardly used) on my new computer. Is that allowed and do I have the right idea about doing it? I have the serial number
and all that with the software.

Differences between old JavaFX and the new one: some questions

Hi,
I'm coming back to my JavaFX studies after 2/3 months and I see that some things are different.. Now, I have some questions:
1) I see that javafx.ui was deprecated or rewritten in favor of javafx.ext.swing. Why there are a javafx.application.Frame and a javafx.ext.swing.SwingFrame? Which one should I use?
2) Neither javafx.application.Frame or SwingFrame has the "*undecorated*" attribute that javafx.ui.Frame has. I got this feature only reimplementing createWindow() function like this:
function createWindow(): java.awt.Window {
       //this is a trick, because Frame don't has a undecorated attribute.
       var f: java.awt.Window = super.createWindow();
       (f as javax.swing.JFrame).setUndecorated(true);
       return f;
}Should I report this as a bug/RFE in [http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/] ? Where should I report bugs and RFEs to JavaFX?
3) Why frame's opacity don't work in Linux? Is this a Linux restriction or only a "not yet implemented" feature?
My java -version:
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
4) Where is that cool feature that permits me to easily animate in JavaFX doing only x = [1..100] dur 1000? Now, I need to use this more advanced (and more complicated) Timeline object.
Timeline {
        keyFrames:Timeline [
                KeyFrame{time : 0s values: x => 0.0},
                KeyFrame{time : 2s values: x =< 180.0 tween Interpolator.LINEAR}
        ]//keyFrames
}//Timeline;Sorry for the amount of questions.
TIA,
Bruno E. Grossi

The new ones will be substantially faster than yours because it has 8-cores instead of four, a faster Frontside Bus, and faster RAM speed.
You could use the same RAM, but since the new ones can accommodate a faster RAM module you would cause the machine to run slower by using the slower RAM from your old machine.
You can use the same hard drives since both machines support SATA drives.
On the other hand you could just be happy with what you have! It's probably more than you need.

Where can I download certutil.exe and the NSS Utils for Windows

I know many people struggle to find Certutil.exe and the rest of the NSS Utils so I have compiled version 3.14.2, using the same method I previously posted here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/687296 but this time with Visual C++ 2010 (x86)
YOU WILL NEED VISUAL C++ 2010 REDISTRIBUTABLE INSTALLED to run these executables.
The zip file can be downloaded from ....
(Link to file removed)
Hope this helps

When you compile certutil there should be a whole raft of other exe and all the dll files you need. the dll files need to be either in c:\windows\system32 or in the same folder as certutil.exe.
Hope this helps.

How to change the java control panel and the default java in windows.

Hi,
Please help on the above problem. I need the answer urgently.
I have two java version 1.4 and 1.5. I first installed the java version 1.4.2_06 and then 1.5.0_19.Now the default java is 1.5.
Now I want to chang the java settings to 1.4 by changing the envioronment variable (classpath,path,java_home)
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\lib;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin
But after setting these does not solve the problem. The java control panel which appears is the same what was appearing for java 1.5.
I want to see the control panel for 1.4.2_06.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Sarita

When I opened your post and saw that line, I immediately moved it to the 'last in line' of a whole bunch of other stuff I did not have time to look at immediately. Now that all that other stuff that did not bore me with someone else's time constraints is out of the way/taken care of, I've returned to your post.

I installed bootcamp 5 for my late 2012 iMac 21" and installed the latest version of windows 8, however when i boot with windows i dont get any sound, what can i do to fix this?

I'm trying to playa game called day z (not sure if many are familiar) through boot camp 5 and the newest version of windows 8 it's pretty much a must to hear everything going on around me and I can't exactly do that when the sound drivers aren't working. I've updated all of my software and still nothing is working. If anyone has a link to the newest windows 8 sound drivers it'd be greatly appreciated. Or if you have any other solutions it would be greatly appreciated!

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, with a few exceptions most people on this forum only speak OS X. That forum can be found at:

no so i dont know what happened

I was using bootcamp assistant to install windows 7 via flash drive, i followed the steps, the Windows installation image was installed successfully and the boot camp partition was made andy mac restarted then i got this message "no bootable device insert

"..no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key", i restarted my mac and held options and managed to log in to my OS x again but my windows wasn't installed and when i held options while my mac was starting the usb flash drive wasn't there, what should i do? Also can i restore my usb flash drive to use it as a regular flash drive again?

Hi Michael!
Yep, I did get this running. Not in a normal way (meaning the easy way). What I did, is that I just created the BOOTCAMP partition in OS X. Just let it format and create the partition where you would install BOOTCAMP.
After that I discovered that via a ISO program (WinClone) you can directly restore a previously created OS X boot image to your current computer. So, I installed a blank Windows 7 to my macbook pro, didint install any drivers and just let it work up then. Then I went back to os X (in macbook pro) and made a bootimage for the BOOTCAMP partition. After that I saved it to my external harddrive and wired it to my iMac. In iMac I just downloaded the same boot-image program and restored the bootimage that I made in Macbook Pro to iMac. After that I made an restart and the bootcamp section with windows worked well with my iMac. Install the bootcamp soft and you can do everything and everything works. FYI, you get the windows working via those steps, BUT if you either delete or do anything to make your bootcamp partition unworkable then you will have to repeat those steps again. But it´s fast non-the-less, so it shouldn´t be a problem for you.
If you didin´t understand anything or something doesen´t add up, send me a letter or a notification.
Hope this helps.
Indrek.

I have been trying to reinstall iTunes but have been getting error messages. One says I need file MSVCR80, one says I have error 7 and the last one says I have windows error 126.

This problem started yesterday when I tried to download the newest iTune update.
The error message suggested trying the download again and i have tried over ten times and i get the same messages and error numbers.

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.
