The Netflix stream (is it Silverlight?) won't load, I've had to use Chrome(!) and I don't like it as much because I have my Firefox all customized.

recent problem: only since update to Firefox 9

I found this:
''... In the end, I ended up disabling all of my firewalls, virus scans, etc to ensure that nothing was interfering. I then poked around until I found that I needed to have added Netflix to the "trusted sites" tab in "Internet Options" in IE. At first, it didn't work, because it required "https," but when I disabled that, and entered it in without the "s" (since Netflix doesn't use https protocol), it WORKED. I switched on all of my firewall/virus software, and it still works! WOOHOO! Since I changed it through IE it actually changed it in the system (Control Panel, Internet Options), and as a result, Firefox works as well. ''

Silverlight won't load .asx file on 13" MkBkPro

Silverlight won't load .asx file on 13" MkBkPro
I want to view the streaming video of lectures from a password encoded site where it seems the only app I can use is Microscoft's Silverlight. Problem is that Safari won't initiate the Silverlight plugin on the 13" MacBookPro. The 13" MacBookPro is my main desktop computer; it is attached to a Cinema Display for extra desktop space, thus I really want to use this computer to view the videos. The videos load and play just fine using Safari on my MacBookAir, with a very similar configuration as the MacBookPro.
I've trashed and re-installed all Silverlight files from the MacBookPro as recommended by the Microsoft Silverlight forum, but still the videos won't load. Just for a brief portion of a second, the "loading" bar appears, but then disappears, leaving me with a black and blank window in Safari on the MacBookPro.
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on a 13" MacBookPro5,5 AND on a MacBookAir3,1. Both computers are running Safari 5.1 (6534.50). Both computers have the Silverlight plugin (ver 4.0.60531.0) installed within ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins and within ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Silverlight/OutOfBrowser. There is no trace of Silverlight in myaccount/Library/Internet Plug-Ins or in myaccount/Library/Receipts subdirectories on either computer. The only difference I can find between the two computers is their processor, the type of HD, and that the MacBookPro's SLLauncher.app was modifed today (9/24/11), whereas that on the MacBookAir was modified 9/4/11.
Any suggestions of further things to try to get the videos to play on the MacBookPro?

I've previously tried that, but just to be sure, I tried again. Tthe only thing that downloads is the html file that contains the link to the video.
The Silverlight test on the Microsoft web site does not open Silverlight and load when using either Safari 5.1 or Firefox 6.0.2. So the issue on the MacBookPro5,5 involves more than a single streaming video web site or browser.
I've posted the same original description of the problem on the Silverlight forum. No responses. I'll try sending it to Microsoft as a problem installing Silverlight. That's supposed to be "no charge".
Thanks for your time and advice.

It's a problem with Gmail. There is another thread discussing it, but most would rather whine than try to fix it.
Nobody has figured out what is causing it, but there have been various suggestions.
One was to display the All Mail folder if you've hidden it.
You can delete by opt- delete. I think that will delete it immediately.
Another person looked in the user/Library/Mail/V2/ folder. He had duplicate account folders, having a sequence digit suffix. He deleted the duplicates and it fixed things.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

These are the downsides of a shared library because if you delete the song from your library it will get also automatically deleted from your kids library. If you want to proceed then please follow this guide: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

Hi Kevin,
I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I see my buddy, but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies.

After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I am using gmail, and I see my buddy (no camera icon next to her name), but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies. My buddy has the same problem as I. We are able to do video chat through gmail, but I had hoped to use iChat. I am using OS 10.6.8, iChat v. 5.0.3. What am I missing?

HI,
iChat will Video chat to another iChat in a Jabber Buddy List (Google run a Jabber server for GoogleTalk)
However it will not Video to the Web Page login to iGoogle or the Web Mail Page login. (where people can Google Chat as it were in a Web Browser).
Nor does it video to the Google Talk Stand alone app for PCs or any other Jabber apps on any platform.
iChat uses a connection Process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is also used by other VoIP devices.
Jabber/XMPP invited the Jingle Protocol for Jabber Applications.
Google have included this in their Standalone app and the Plug-in for Web Browsers on both PCs and Mac (you can get this as a Standalone Plug-in or as part of Chrome)
More on this here This article has been changed several time in the recent months. It now claims a greater involvement by Google in writing the Jingle Library (Although now Google's version does not work with the others)
This tends to mean that using the web Login to Google to Chat also cannot video chat to other Jabber apps that are using Jingle.
If your Buddy is using iChat then check the Video Menu has two items to Enable Camera/Video chat and Microphone/Audio chats are ticked.
In the View Menu the Show Status Items should be ticked (Selecting them toggles the tick and the function On or Off)
It could be Internet speed but at this stage I would doubt this at this stage.

What is the best way to copy a DVD i made from iMovie? It was HD720 and I don't want to lose any quality in the copies.

What is the best way to copy a DVD I made from iMovie? It was HD720 and I don't want to lose any quality in the copies. I need to distribute it to about 20 people. It's 42 minutes long.

You will need to save it as a video to the camera roll.
Import it into windows as you would a photo.
Then purchase DVD authoring software, and create a DVD.

Make sure you have Windows XP service pack 2 (SP2) installed.
Also, WPA2 is the same as WPA with AES.
Hope this helps.

Well, it is part of the Mac. So you were shortchanged.
Call AppleCare and ask them to send you a replacement set. They will ask for the serial number and model number to sure they are give you the correct set. They will charge you a nomibnal fee for shipping and handling.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
