Since the later updates of in the 3.x series, I've had increasing losses of functioning of bookmarks & history, with 4.x it's gone, with latest update, Firefox slowed to non-funcitoning on my Mac Mini under OS X - What can I do to make it work again?
'''bold text'''I am not computer savvy. That may be understated.
I've enjoyed Firefox til the later updates to the 3.x version. First lost ability to update my bookmarks and history, but the old remained. With the 4.x updates, I lost all bookmarks and history and could not page back -- big problem. I have not addressed these problems because I have bigger life problems, and had hoped my husband would take care of it all. Not hoping any more. With the latest 5 version update, Firefox is not functioning, too slow to be workable, and getting hung. When it hung, it hung with a troubleshooting message, but I didn't save it. Will try to reproduce that and put it into the next section in this communication form. (I got the uselessly slow, but not the hang up message. Sorry.) It also slightly scrambled the display of writing on the page I pulled up.
I was doing a google search for a Gallery website.
Please give me some Firefox Fixes For Dummies level advice that will help me get my favorite browser back. THANK YOU.
Hi Suzy Q,
I can send and receive calls.
I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
It runs slow.
I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
I get a black screen on occasion.
sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and

I installed CS6 on my new retina MacBook pro laptops. InDesign and Acrobat display document pixilated. I ran the updates and it fixed Illustrator and Photosho, but not InDesign and Acrobat. What can I do to make them display in high resolution? HELP!
InDesign CS6 is not optimized for retina displays. You’ll need to move to Creative Cloud for retina compatibility.

Since installing mavericks, my computer calendar does not sync with my iPhone and iPad calendars. My iPhone and iPad are synced however. What can I do to make all of my mac devices sync
You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
MM should be the default calendar on all clients. -
imy phone is automatically restarting and the screen is turning blue what can i do to make it ok again??
Hey babylovesyou,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone shows a blue screen and is restarting on its own. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

I'm trying to install Adobe PS CS3 for my boss on an other computer. I put the Program on a hard disc and copied it to the other computer now it won't open and says it needs the license. What can I do to make it work on this computer?
Copying the program over to a new machine will not work. Install it using installation files and activate it using the serial number assigned to the license.

I am unable to use my external CD player. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. I am told that the player is being used by another application, but it's not true. I've forced everything to quit and restarted. I've even unplugged the unit and let it rest. I've turned off and unplugged the mac too. I cannot make a CD. Why?
I misread your message. I thought it said I did not have burn support with the Samsung hardware.
When the CD goes in it says You inserted a bland CD. choose an action from the popup menu or click ignore
open finder
open itunes
open disk utility
make this action the default
eject ignore ok
However, when I am making CDs. I am in itunes. That is where my recordings areI haven't tried to do it from this vantage point.
I don't know how to make a screen shot on a mac.
I go to my playlist and click on the little gear icon at the bottom left and I leave things as they are - preferred speed - maximum. I leave it on audio CD - and then I select BURN.
When I tried this the other day, I could not get it to burn, no matter how hard I tried - everything I could think of, using a different CD, force quitting everything I was not using, restarting the computer, unplugging the CD hardware and plugging it back in after a little while, nothing worked. I got that message that said my player was being used by another application every time I tried to make the CD. This took over an hour. I don't know of another way to make a CD on the mac; I was not using another program or application. Now it seems to be working fine. I am burning another copy of something I gave away.
I wish I knew what caused this. It was a real problem Saturday morning. -
What can I do to be able watch video on the Air Mac. Just downloaded the Flip Player and has the audio, but no video.
Thank youThe most common cause of missing video on playback with the Flip Player is that you are using an unsupported codec.
This issue is not directly related to Apple networking. You may find that you can get a better response if you visit the Telestream Flip4Mac support site. -
It has been a while since I have used it so didn't know until I had the error come up. Same with my laptop.
There is a License Recovery script that uses Terminal.app (just enter that in Spotlight).
It also helps to do this in a admin account or to have your account with Admin privileges.
Now go to this link: Error 150:30, Nothing works. Help plz and carefully follow the instructions in message 5.
Before you enter your password, the screen should look like the example.
Let me know how it goes.

Hi. My ipod touch (3rd gen) will not turn off or resond to anything and will not connect to a computer. the screen will not go into sleep mode and i dont know what to do. help?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I bought a omega 320GB external hard drive so a friend could save the files off an old windows laptop i had but now when i try and open the files on my mac, it doesn't let me. i'm also not able to save any file on to this hard drive either! can some one please help me?
The drive has the NTFS format, which the Mac OS can read but can't write to. Copy the files from the external drive onto your Mac, then reformat the external drive using Disk Utility, creating a Mac OS Extended volume and using the GUID partition scheme. Then you'll be able to write to the drive. Note that reformatting erases everything from the drive, so don't do it until after you've saved the drive's contents to other media.

can you help me with that?
First, try logging out of iTunes, then log back in. See if doing that fixes things.
