Running 6.0.2 with MAC OS 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro and Firefox crashes and crashes and crashes and crashes. What have you done to your software? It sucks.
Running the new and improved 6.0.2 with Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro and Firefox keeps crashing. When I have Yahoo on my screen with MY FAVORITES on the left side I can't click on ANY of my favorites without a crash. I can hardly navigate anywhere without a crash. Have a MacBook Air running same OS and same Firefox with no problems. So what gives? What is happening and what should I do to fix this?
something similar has been happening to me for a a couple weeks (even before the most recent update, but now is definitely worse) on my 2010 MacBook Air. Firefox freezes upon startup, and then freezes maybe every twenty minutes or so when I'm actively using it, staying frozen for at least a minute or two. it drives me crazy.

I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?
You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
installation current.

I have been asked to set up an Icloud account by Apple.
How will having another icloud email benefit me. I have my work email which is all i require, but had to set up a @me account to get email on my Macbook.
I have a Mac computer that i upgraded to Mountain lion, a macbook pro and an iPhone 4s which has the latest software. all i want is simplicity and to have one email account which which will not duplicate everything 4 or 5 times.
My notes are duplicated, i have to delete my emails individually on all devices so whenever i put my phone on, all the emails i have deleted at work re-appear on my phone and again the same thing happens on my Macbook pro. I seem to spend all my time deleting emails 3 times.
Is there something simple in the set up of these that i am missing?

Where are all my bookmarks - what have you done with Mozilla? you have screwed up my computer!
Everything I had on my tool bar, and all the sites listed in my Bookmarks are GONE!!!
What have you done with those sites? They were very important to me - I can not handle all these changes by Mozilla - None of these changes are of any use to me. I want to go back to my original screen and when I logged on today you would not let me access my internet and original screen without entering info that changed everything on my computer window!!! Help me find those BOOKMARKS
Mozilla Firefox is not user friendly - I don't want all these apps - EBay, Weather or YouTube! I had the necessary sites listed that are important and used everyday - not those listed. Who are you to determine what "apps" I should be using???
edit: email address edited out but it is likely too late for search bots grabbing it.I'm desperate to get back my Bookmarks in the same unsorted way and easily accessible as I had previously - at the moment they are hidden away in some sort of zipped form I am unable to access: they were previously listed in the ideal way for me to access - as chronologically bookmarked and disparate. It really is infuriating to have this level of interference with my personal affairs on my computer without even seeking my consent. Ideally I want a return to the earlier version of Firefox which worked perfectly well for me - I'm plagued with excessive slowness and freezing since the latest -Firefox 5.0- update was installed. Is there any simple way to revert back to the earlier version of Firefox?

Good Morning,
I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
thank you.Have you restarted holding down the Opt key? That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist. Then select the SL partition for boot. Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

DEAR ORACLE: what have you done with webdb?
dear oracle,
i was using webdb since rel 2.0.* and i think, it was a great idea! we could visualize data
and give the users the chance to access the data in a very simple way - without programming
in java, c++ or anything else ( ok, pl/sql is needed sometimes. but as long as we are using
oracle databases, we will find someone with pl/sql-knowledge :-), so this is not an
additional requirement).
but what have you done with this wonderful idea?
you have moved webdb to an enterprise-portal, with great functionality and a huge requirement
of resources. no doubt, it is a powerful product, where you can build wonderfull sites
full of surprising elements, every second character bold and blinking . . .
but you forgot the customers, who only need a simple way, to create forms and reports.
by moving portal to such a level, as you have done, you left a gap below this.
please tell me, why should i install and use such a 'mighty' product as 9iAS, when i only
need the functionality, that came with webdb??
some impressions:
- starting with the installation ( download 2 GB! a just released product and i have to download
additional 274 MB of patches, wasting more time with the patch-installation than the rest).
- space-requirements of nearly 5 GB (approx. 12 times as much as webdb 2.2)
- i have to use internet directory, management server, enterprise manager - all products,
that i don't need for the rest of my daily business and that i'm not familiar with
(until now) -> requiring additional time to become familiar with. do you realy think, that the use of all
products in your portfolio makes it easier to handle (as stated in one of the white papers?)?
It seems, that you have lost the ground!
- saving my investments by a migration path? i can forget this - oracle support surrendered and tells
me, that there is something in the installation that prevents me from upgrading.
- the product portal seems to be very 'dynamic': if i don't want to lose support, i have to upgrade
to the next release nearly every three months (one of the most important phrases, heard by support-stuff:
"you have any problem? you should upgrade to the latest release first!")
so, dear oracle,
i hope, you remember those customers, who don't want an overkill. please, fill up the
gap with an applicationserver-light/portal-light and don't forget, that the main scope of your
customers is to fulfil their own customers needs and not to administer oracle-products.

Can I use Mac Mini as a "server" for a MacBook Pro and iMac?
I want to develop a simple system for accessing my files from multiple devices.
I heavily use iTunes (190 GB), iPhoto (120 GB) and iMovie (30 GB, but want to do more when I get time). Additionally, I store lots of old videos on circa 10 portable hard drives (1 TB each), which I access occasionally.
The family use all this content and we currently have a MacBook Pro and are considering buying a new computer - either a new MacBook Pro or an iMac. We also have iPads, iPhones etc and a Time Capsule. We use wireless fibre optic broadband.
I don't really want multiple iTunes and iPhoto libraries. We want all our music and pictures in single master libraries that we can all access and update.
As there is seemingly too much data to store on iCloud, we need to find an alternative solution.
My possible solution is:
(1) Load my master iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie libraries ("iTPM libs") on a Mac mini
(2) Buy a new MacBook Pro or iMac (probably doesnt matter which)
(3) Link the MacBook Pro(s) and iMac to the Mac mini to access iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie and the master iTPM libs
(4) Plug the portable hard drives into the Mac mini whenever I need to access the video content stored on the portable hard drives
(5) Add "users" to the system (i.e. family members), in the same way you would access a shared server at work
(6) Over time, buy more computers to access the system in the same way
My questions are:
(1) Is this system feasible?
(2) If so, can I edit the iTPM libs from the MacBook Pro or iMac?
(3) If so, what happens if both the MacBook Pro and iMac are accessing the libraries at the same time? Which takes precedent?
(4) Would this solution be significantly slower than having separate libraries on the different computers?
(5) Is there an alternative approach that might work better for my needs? (which are, after all, relatively straight forward). When I went to the Apple store they were unsure!

The "update" portion of this is where your problems will arise. You'd be better to consider your proposed system initially in terms of content "consumption", before getting into the nitty-gritty of editing shared content.
iTunes has the Home Sharing feature built-in, which solves the content consumption issue.
I don't know anything about sharing iPhoto libraries, but this KB article looks useful.
As for iMovie, I think there are two things you want to do: share the raw data (sound effects, music, photos etc.) that are used to create iMovie content; and share the finished results. Is that right? I'm not sure how you'd go about doing that, but if you clarify your aims in this regard, it'll help the next person who comes along.
When it comes to updating content, such as adding new music to iTunes or iPhoto, I'd suggest you do it through the Mac mini directly. This seems the least problematic solution. You wouldn't necessarily need a dedicated display for the Mac mini - you could use remote desktop or VNC or what-have-you.
As for speed: doing anything across a network is always going to be slower than doing it locally. But, it probably won't matter for content consumption (though if you're all watching different movies at the same time the drives on the server may struggle, and the wifi bandwidth might be tight).
I hope this represents a good initial response to your query. -
I saved photos from my Macbook Pro and sold it. Now I want to access those pictures from the Macbook Pro on my desktop Mac. Is this possible?
That would depend on where you saved the photos. I assume they are on an external drive or a cd(s) or DVD or USB drive. Hook whatever device they are on to the desktop Mac, open iPhoto and do an Import to Library from the File menu.

ITunes, what have you done with my files?
Irrelevant backstory;
I've actually had quite a turbulent time with technology lately- External harddrives blowing up, iTouch screens cracking in my pocket. Not to mention the screen on this ruddy Mac of mine. But I'm fairly competent with technology and so far have been able to fix most problems I've made for myself. This one is a little tougher so I'd really appreciate a little help.
This is a long story, mostly because information tends to yield better solutions. Feel free to skip to the short version below if you'd like to save your eyes the trouble.
Essentially, I replaced my iTouch yesterday. This 9 month old beauty had accumulated thousands of listens, and since it was manually managed from itunes Last.fm refused to scrobble any of them. So I made my mind up that I'd simply sync the new one automatically. That's when things started to go wrong. I had deleted all my music from the harddrive for the purpose of downloading fresh films, confident in the fact I had two recently backed up external harddrives containing all my music (about 3,000 songs I like, and 1,000 songs other people like that they give out to me for not having) and movies. Altogether, this came to around 24 GB. I realise this is not a huge amount in comparison to what some people have, but I'm a relative purist (except when drunk) and some of the music is exceptionally hard to find (ever heard of Ween?). So I'd really like it back. Now, as I've mentioned, one of the harddrives is a glorified paperweight, it fell 3 feet and is now making typically awful beeping/scratching noises and no longer fires up. The second one was working fine, however, so I plugged it in and set to work copying and pasting.
iTunes duly realised that none of the music was where it used to be, so I re-added my C:/Music folder to the library and got plenty of awesome duplicates. After deleting those, iTunes would play the song if I tried to click on it (exclamation point or not). Problem sorted then, except that because iTunes didn't realise it knew the locations of the songs once more, virtually none of those songs were synching with my spanking new iTouch. So I started manually clicking into the exclamated songs, which would play, and the sync. I got halfway through A before realising this would take forever. So I searched for a more automatic way. I tried readding all my songs again, but this just created tons more duplicates, and after deleting those went into the File->Library->Organise Library menu. Things go badly for me from here.
I knew what Consolidate would do and I didn't like it. I could guess what Reorganise would do, but hey, it might help, and it specifically said it wouldn't remove or delete any files. Just move them.
So I figured what the ****.. Why not?
Mistake.
After taking ages to reorganise my already organised music folders, iTunes promptly lost around 1500 songs. Individual songs and albums. It seems everything that wasn't a Compilation from Kings of Leon-Come Around Sundown (of which I now have half an album) was gone. So I resigned myself to locating the songs manually.
But they weren't there. The first 7 songs were there from Come Around Sundown. The remaining ones were not. I thought this pretty odd. Then i noticed that the rest of the songs weren't there either. Alphabetically, from "K" down, most of my music was simply not there. And I now had this funky new C:/Music/Music folder, which was just full off the songs I did have. After tinkering around with the XP search function and finding nothing anywhere, I decided to simply delete and start over. So I wiped my Music folder and recopied everything from the external HD. Re-opened the folder in iTunes and voila, everything was the exact same.
My only thought here is that I've managed to wipe the Music folder in the external HD, and replaced my wanted music with what iTunes has done to my laptop. Highly stupid, absolutely, but not absolutely out of character with deleting the music in the first place, or reorganising my music folder despite misgivings about it's effectiveness. In fact, it was par for the course with how I approached this problem last night.
Short version;
iTunes has, apparently while reorganising my library, deleted a number of songs from my computer. I now have far less music than I should, and it is not anywhere on my computer. The music folder has shrunk from 24GB to 16GB. My movies have been renamed into oblivion. This was not what I thought reorganising did.
Reorganising = File->Library->Organise Library->Reorganise files in the folder "Music"
"Music" is my music folder, containing all of my beloved tracks. It's located at C:/Music
What's interesting now is that when the iTouch synched with iTunes, it did manage to pick up all of my movies, despite them not being there. When the iTouch is plugged into iTunes and i look at the Movies tab (close to Summary on the top), everything is there. When I look at the Movies viewer on the left (below Music) it's empty. I tried to manually sync some movies to save space (plus, I've already watched Team America a dozen times now) it removed all of them. They will no longer go back on, but iTunes does show them in the Movies tab.
They're still there in theory, but neither a manual search for them nor allowing Movies to sync automatically puts them back onto the iPod touch.
Solution wise, I'm stumped. If the computer doesn't let me find them, then they're not there. But Reorganise expressly pointed out that files would be moved and renamed, not deleted. And the Music folder has shrunk in size, which indicates that iTunes was lying. The only ways out I can see are to a) attempt to repair the damaged hard drive which contains all my unharmed music or b) acquire all my missing music again.
Option a isn't bad, since I'd like to get that HDD working again anyway. Option b is going to take a long time and will be incomplete. Folks, after all this text what I really want to know is- Anyone got an option c?
Cheers! And apologies for the length. I tend to ramble.
~SFD
iTunes is fully up to date. The iTouch software is 4.3.2 instead of 4.3.3, but internet is expensive so downloading that update will not be done on Telstra wireless. The laptop is a dualbooted MBP running XP.tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on. -

Filters... Adobe, what have you done with them?
Hi,
Can anyone explain where hides the power of local filters in v1.0? I find them extremely inconvenient. Global filters is the way to go, IMHO. Why there's no option to make filters local/global?
Another thing that really irritates me about filters is that when I apply some filter, picture count doesn't change. In betas it was possible to tick "Filter lists" and beside every shoot I had quantity of pictures which match filter condition (now "Find" works that way). In release version it's gone. Again -- extremely inconvenient.
