  • Instructions for new features in 5.0 don't work on Mac.

    The instructions for using new features in Firefox 5.0 do not work on Mac, which is most likely your largest user considering Mac users can't use IE. Contol-clicking on a tab does not result in a menu with "pin tab" or any similar wording. It is not possible to drag one tab icon on top of another to create tab groups. Those are the only two changes I've tried. Do these features not work on Mac? If they do, how do those of us who are intelligent enough to use the superior computer find instructions?

    Your point that the support is manned by volunteers and not the company producing the software is the problem. I have a little time right now, but I teach 15 credit hours of college writing courses during the academic term, which means I work 14 to 18 hours a day seven days a week. I do not have time to search through endless posts to seek answers to basic functionality questions. The companies that produce software should be responsible for explaining how it works, and they should do so in non-technical terms unless they want me to impose my expertise on them and demand perfect grammar on their sites. But then, corporate America is not held responsible for anything these days. Frequent, needless software updates that limit rather than enhance functionality are quickly turning me into a neo-Luddite.

  • I have followed all the instructions for setting the font size,but it remains very tiny (6 or 8 point). Why?

    Though the font on the desktop and email programs is fine (14 or 16 point), on the google sedarch pages or any websites that are accessed via Firefox, it is tiny. What's wrong? How can I make things more legible? I am working on a laptop and followed all the instructions given in DISPLAY.
    Thanks for any advice.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • How do I set a time period longer than 7 days for keeping my browsing history on my Macbook Pro? The instructions for doing so on a Windows PC do not work with a Mac.

    I am using Firefox 8.0.1. There seems to be no option anywhere in Preferences on my Macbook Pro for keeping the browsing history for a specific period of time. Earlier my history was kept for quite a while. Now it only shows for 7 days at the most, and if I quit firefox, it starts over again fro scratch the next time I open Firefox. Any suggestions? There are plenty of answers out there if you are using Windows, but I haven't found anything for using a mac.

    There is no time limit in Firefox 4+ versions for the history.<br />
    Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance.<br />
    You can see the current value via the reads-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.
    See:
    * http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration
    If you lose the history then make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the browsing history.<br />
    Also make sure that you do not have cleanup software that might clean up files in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Is there a way to have FF Home remember me, so I don't have to input the sync key, user ID, and password each time? (Perhaps something to do with that "add a device" passcode they completely ignore in the instructions for setting it up?)

    Or is my device just having issues, and it SHOULD remember me each time? It's too much hassle to go copy out my sync key each time from where I've saved it in the Notes app, so I almost never use FF Home - I just google or try to guess addresses in Safari, then bookmark them there. (Can one import bookmarks from Sync to Safari? That would help!)

    Well if you want a "single signon" experience, the Workstation will need to de join to the domain :-)  otherwise it will prompt for the Username and password for authentificaiton.
    You can then check the save password box.
    For remote user that are NOT on the domain, same behavior, you will be prompted to enter Username/Password.

  • I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

    I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

  • We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with another Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream. How to do since have two different Apple IDs?

    We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with husband's Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream between the two. How to do since have two different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    Just out of curiosity, why did you elect to use a different id?.  That seems to always make things difficult.  If you have not had the pad for long, or have not bought a lot of stuff Nader the new id, you might want to think about erasing all content, turn off find my phone, wiping the pad and starting over.
    You can sync 2 different ids ( at least move pictures, books and music back and forth) if you are syncing through I tunes on your computer, but I don't think you can cross feed I cloud streams.

  • Instructions for setting WRT54GS security to WPA2? Can't find them anywhere.

    Hi,
    I'm an amateur at this, so please excuse this load of ignorant questions.
    I have 2 PC clients, both Dell Dimensions 3.2GHz 1GB RAM, Wireless-G adapters. OS is Windows XP SP2
    The router is a Linksys WRT54GS. I'm using the wireless ports only, at least when I'm not modifying the security settings. Then I use a temporary cable to connect one of the PC's to the router.
    I also have a TiVo DVR series 3 with a wireless adapter.
    The router came with a copy of Linksys Advisor. When I ran this software I was able to set the security level to WPA-Personal. However I could find no option to set the level to WPA2.
    I know the TiVo supports WPA2 because I saw the option when I was configuring it for WPA-personal.
    My question(s):
    Why doesn't EasyLink Advisor have an option to set the security level to WPA2? Is it just deficient, or does it check to see if the client PCs support WPA2 and disable the option if they don't?
    How would I go about checking if my PCs support WPA2?
    Finally, if I have to set the security to WPA2 manually, what is the procedure for doing this?
    It's pretty easy to see how this can be done on the router's little web server pages; but as soon as I set the security to WPA2 there, I'm going to lose wireless connections to the PCs and I won't be able to access the router.
    I know I can get there via a cable connection, but then what do I do? How do I set up my clients for WPA2?
    What's a real pain about all this is that the EasyLink Advisor gives hints on how to optimize performance on secured wireless systems. It advises going to WPA2! But its Wizard doesn't give the option to do that. Its offline help file is minimal - it just says "use the wizard" and that's it.
    The online help describes how to manually configure WPA but not WPA2. And the instructions for WPA are incomplete. They explain how to set up the router, but then do not explain how to use the enccryption keys when reconnecting client PCs. They just say to select the SSID in the wireless icon's connect menu, then click on connect. Where does the key go?
    Thanks for your time in reading this,
    Big Al Mintaka

    First of all, Windows XP SP2 can do WPA2, however it requires a patch.   Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
    Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
    Additionally, be sure to give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    As to why EasyLink Advisor works the way it does - I just don't know.
    To setup WPA2, you will first need to patch Windows XP, then, using a computer that is wired to the router, go into the router and change the encryption to "WPA2 - personal"  with  "AES".  Reboot modem and router.  You are correct that you will now loose your wireless connections until you update the settings in your wireless devices.
    Next go into your computers and likewise change the encryption to "WPA2 - personal"  (= WPA2 = PSK2 ).   (Note:  You do not necesarily need to specify "AES" in your computers (or Tivo), but if you are given a choice between TKIP and AES, choose AES.)
    To find these settings for your computers, go to the wireless software in your computer, and go to "Preferred Networks"  (sometimes called "Profiles" ).  There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use.  Delete your current network  (this will clear any old settings).  Reboot computer.  Return to "Preferred Networks" and enter your network info (SSID, encryption, and key). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".  Reboot computer.
    You will need to check the Tivo manual for how to change the Tivo to WPA2.

  • (Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC

    Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server.   (This
    will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
    Specifically, your best practices regarding:
    the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,  
    the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
    RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),  
    IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,  
    disk caching settings on both host and guests.  
    Thanks so much for any information you can share.

    A bit of non essential additional info:
    We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
    over to the new infrastructure .   We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
    During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
    information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
    Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
    seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
    We have read these and others:
    Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100), 
    Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
    Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
    Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
    Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.
    Chas.

    Apple have not announced any such plans. It was the same during the whole MobileMe period from 2008 - 2012, so it doesn't seem to be a high priority issue for Apple.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.
