Two finger swipe was working for Firefox 7 in my macbook pro running lion yesterday but not today. i have installed Alfred. Has that broken it?
I was able to use the two finger swipe gesture on my macbook pro trackpad in firefox 7. It was working fine but has just stopped working. It does work if I hold the alt key while swiping but that seems a bit pointless. The only thing I have changed on my mac is that I installed Alfred. Has that broken the gesture?
Sorry to tell you this but it's starting to sound like a hardware issue.
Reason being is because youi've had this issue when you had 2GB of RAM, and running Leopard to Snow Leopard then to Lion.
Even after you've reinstalled everything it was still giving you issues.
Ok, try this one. Open the back of your MB, take one RAM out of the top slot, then turn your MB on and see if it still freezes. If it does, then take the lower RAM off the botton slot and install it on the top slot. Turn it back on. If the problem stops, then it could be your RAM slots.

I have Firefox version 3.6.22 (Mac) & keep downloading Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac (as prompted) to my new Macbook Pro, running Lion (OS 10.7.1) and it won't open and install. WTF?
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.

There were some updates on my Apps. I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud. Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?
Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Look here for help on managing iCloud storage.

I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. I need to use Lion to run my Dragon. I would like to partition my drive to use Mavericks for everything but the dictation software. I'm a newbie to apple
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work. -
My Macbook pro running Lion 10.7 will not connect via a wireless network to either of my printers, Epson and HP. Both printers report an excellent connection to the correct network. The Macbook reports "printer not found"
Until 2 weeks ago all worked well. Both printers makes me think some setting in the computer must have changed.
Any suggestions?System Preferences>Fax & Scan. Delete the printers and re-add them back in.

Have a MacBook Pro running Lion (10.7.9) and an IMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machines. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks
If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

Does airplay work for streaming videos on macbook pro ?
I got the 2011 13'' macbook pro, and at the moment, I don't have a tv, which I usually use netflix on but I moved. How can I take advantage of my home theater speakers which are about 10 feet in front of me while watching netflix on my macbook pro other then getting a super long audio cable.
Thanks for all the replies.
Okay so this morning i called apple support, and i told them I think my hard drive is failing and the problems I've been having.
Told him i ran the techtool cd that comes with the apple protection box, and did research online and told them what the community thought of my issue. Although he didn't seem to impressed about what the community said lol.
So he told me to boot up using the leopard CD to run a disk repair utility. Upon trying to run the utility it failed, so he said it does seem to be a hard drive problem and to take it into an apple store to see what they can do for me. Now after i got off the phone with him, i went to restart my mac so i can start backing up the data and guess what?
It wouldn't boot anymore after trying to run the disk repair!!! Luckily a day ago, i backed up my data because I was afraid of my hard drive failing lol. Good thing i did!!!
So 2 hours later i went into the apple store that was packed with shoppers, and was actually able to make an appointment with a mac genius in under 10 minutes lol. He asked me what was happening, and look at my laptop.
And well, they replaced the entire laptop .
I've brought the laptop home and after installing leopard on a clean install, I ran the techtool again and received no errors!!!!
So now im reinstalling all the programs into my new mac
Thank you for all your replies. -
I have tried following the advice offered in the few different threads I have found on this but nothing fixes it. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window and/or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I fixed the issue for new tabs via about:config but this doesn't work for new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In new private windows the cursor is in the address bar.
The search box in about:home steals the cursor. Changing your home page to something else will cause the cursor to start in the address bar for new windows.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks
I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.

that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here -
Msft ent desktop 7000 works with Macbook Pro 10.5.8 but not mini 10.6.1
I just purchased a Mac Mini with 10.6.1. I'm using it as an entertainment system hooked up to my 60 inch plasma. I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth Entertainment Desktop 7000 keyboard and mouse. i like the keyboard and it all works except for the integrated trackpad. At first i thought it was because it wasn't fully Mac compatible but when I tried it on my Macbook Pro 10.5.8 the trackpad worked fine.
Any suggestions??Hi,
This is a guess: The MacBook Pro has a built-in trackpad, while the Mac Mini doesn't. Maybe it's missing a driver. When you have it connected to your MacBook Pro, try to look at your "Trackpad" system preference. Does that exist on your Mini? Also, try comparing the System Profiler outputs, especially concerning your USB.
It makes it a little more challenging when your systems aren't both the same OS level :-D, so some things will be different between the two systems just due to the OS levels.

I am trying to set up an older Airport as a "range extender" with MacBook Pro. Message is I need to use Airport Utility 5.6. I downloaded it, but installation fails every time. I'm on Lion. Any suggestions out there? Thanks, Allen
AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion will only work for systems running OS X 10.7.2.
To install it on later versions requires the workaround described in this thread: How do I configure an Airport Express when I get this message in Airport Utility? "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station."
Pay attention to the caveat in the final paragraph, restated here for emphasis:
Keep in mind that Apple's decision to abandon support for your original AirPort Express was for reasons known only to them. Remember that you are using obsolete equipment, should some future OS X feature not work for you.
I am trying to set up an older Airport as a "range extender" with MacBook Pro.
The only way to "wirelessly extend" a wireless network using the original 802.11b/g - only AirPort Express or Extreme is to implement a WDS, a woefully inefficient compromise that's difficult to configure even for experienced users. You can use an original Express or original AEBS as an additional wireless access point for a wired LAN in a "roaming network" though. -
I have nook for mac loaded on my macbook pro. When I try to open a book or magazine nothing happens. I`ve downloaded the nook program twice thinking it was a bad download but to no avail. Any help?
I found the following suggested fix, posted by a user on Barnes & Noble's site:
1. Create a folder in your Applications folder, call it: NOOKforMac
Once you've done this, copy the Nook app to this folder. This should allow the app to run on the 1st or possibly second attempt to launch it.
2. Once you're done using the app always quit it by clicking on the X (red in some cases) button of the application window (upper left hand corner)
This seems to have resolved the issue and my guess is that somehow the .dmg volume path is somewhere hard coded in the app configuration.
Elsewhere in that thread, the administrator advises calling Customer Service Team at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665) and choose option 2 for Digital Support.
Good luck.
