What specific technology are older macs bluetooth missing that will not allow handoff to work?
What specific technology are older macs bluetooth (that is built in) missing that will not allow handoff to work? Will apple allow people to buy third party bluetooth 4.0 to allow it to work?
Well, with a PPC Mac you can upgrade as far as Firefox 3.6.19 if you upgrade from Tiger OSX 10.3.9 to Leopard OSX 10.5, but Firefox doesn't support PPC architecture in the latest Firefox 4, 5, and 6.0 versions.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

But, you still need to carefully investigate if your hardware specs are sufficient for either Firefox 3.6.19 or for 10-4Fox.

can someone please help? my address bar is missing. All i have in its place is a grayed out tab that will not allow me enter a URL.
What browser?
Is this a Mac Pro? -
When I attempt to save a new bookmark and want to save it in a folder the window that typically appears just below the address bar will not stay on the screen. It flashes on the screen and as soon as I move my cursor over it, it disappears. It will not allow me to make a selection of any kind. If I randomly hover over the general area the window will flash back in view but disappear again just as quickly. If I then show all my bookmarks, the bookmark was saved and I have to move it to the folder I actually want it in. Just a few extra steps, but still very annoying. Please help!
DID YOU FIND A SOLUTION???I HAVE TH ASAME THING AS WELL

My MacBook Pro is running on a 10.5.8 operating system but has not allowed me to upgrade. It has been fine for the past few years but is now getting to the point where programs are not functioning properly. What operating system should I be trying to upgrade to and what should I do in order for the upgrade to work? I have tried upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard but it says that I need 10.6 in order to upgrade to Snow Leopard. The only upgrade that has begun to work has been a 10.5.6 which is a less updated version of the operating system that I'm already using. Will downloading 10.5.6 allow me to upgrade to a better version? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

can someone please tell me if it is possible to get music off a nano (loaded from a pc) and into iTunes on a mac laptop ?
You're dealing with two different Apple ID's so that won't work and according to Apple, they cannot be consolidated.

What versions of firefox will not allow skype to work?
I recently got a popup saying that I should update my firefox. But it also said that skype would not work with the update. Has anything been done to correct this or should I not do the update yet?
Versions of Skype earlier than version 5.2.0.7165 are "soft blocked".
#Here is the blocklist; Skype is about the 8th item down

Mac OSX Server 10.5 not allowing wikis to work.
Hey everyone.
Currently, where I work, we have two servers.
One running OSX Server 10.4 (cause of all the problems associated with 10.5!) and another running 10.5. The one running 10.4 does all our DNS, DHCP, logins etc.
The 10.5 server is only running Web, SMB, XGrid and Open Directory. Its primary use is to host our intranet, cause we want wikis and blogs to work. The 10.5 Server we have is running Open Directory (connected to a directory system, since 10.4 cant replica to 10.5 and visa versa) so we can just have the login data.
The problem we are having is: When we go into Workgroup Manager, select a group, the options to enable the following services for this group on...has nothing in the list.
We have been to Server Admin, gone to Web, gone to sites, turned all the services on...made our site done all that. Its just the option in Workgroup Manager that isn't working. Can anyone shed some light to why this wouldn't be working?You need to make sure that the group you are enabling the services for is in the LDAP path for the 10.5 server, and not in the local directory or the LDAP for the 10.4 server.

What do I do if the new tab settings will not allow me to change my url preference?
To Whom It May Concern,
Currently when I open a new tab it automatically pulls up the site http://lab.search.conduit.com/HP/SH/?layid=72&gid=1068&gd=&ctid=CT3326234&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&ISID=M11DEDE1B-4324-401A-AC98-FE9D62A182FE&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=2&UP=SP797483EE-8A60-4FA2-BCCD-480173BFE31C
I have no idea where this site came from and now I am unable to get my new tab setting back to showing the new tab page when I open a new tab. I've tried going to about:config, double clicking the browser.newtab.url and then trying to enter about:newtabpage for the url to open but for some reason it will not save that way and instead goes back to the setting of the above search engine.
If any light could be shed on why the setting that I've entered isn't holding, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

What changed in iOS 7 that will not allow me to add audiobook files into a playlist?
In iOS 6 on my phone I could create a playlist and had the option to add audiobook files. This feature is gone in iOS 7. How can I do this without using iTunes to create and manage the playlist? This was a feature I used often in iOS 6 to manage my place in a long audiobook.
After several attempts I cound that you can create a new playlist for audiobook that will NOT show up in your playlist but in your audiobooks sync page as a playlist. I'm not a conspiracists but I think Samsung has bought apple and is trying to tick off their customer base to increase their note sales. Good Marketing Strategy...I'm switching over... adios apple!

I bought the ipad 2 about a month ago now and have tried to connect my wifi and it says I cannot join my wifi. Now I have two pop ups for downloads that will not allow me to open apps or shut the ipad off. What should I do?
Hi,
For all people struggling with connecting their iPad to their router, constantly getting 'Incorrect Password' even though you have entered the correct one - this may be your solution as it just resolved my issue.
In your router settings online (usually found at 198.168.1.1) change your security from WPA2 or WEP to WPA. For my iPad it for some reason only accepts WPA but now it is running without problems. Let me know if this helps.
Cheers. -
Would like to use an alarm clock. I need the alarm clock to function from the sleep mode. A review said that MAC products will not allow a program to wake up a Mac. Is this correct ? Are there any products in the Mac store what will function from the sleep mode ? How do I check this out ?
You can set times for your computer to turn on or wake from sleep in the Energy Saver system preference pane using the Schedule... button.

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?
I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good... -
Recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.5.5 - have an older G4 which is max'd out upgrade-wise - both processor and OS. At present Safari is 3.1.2. Itunes is 9.2.1. Itunes will not allow me to connect to store - says it requires Safari 4.0.3 - however, when I try to download Safari 4.0.3 or newer it says it requires an older version of the OS. What to do?
Update v10.5.5 to v10.5.8
Download and install the combo > Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
Then restart your Mac.
That should update Safari for you to 5.0.6 and that should help with iTunes.
If necessary, after updating to v10.5.8, you can use the standalone Safari installer here > Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard -
I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?
You know that you lost the layers when you saved it as a jpeg, right? But you're saying you can't add layers to the jpeg now when it's open in the editor? Go to Image>mode and be sure it's RGB, for starters. Are all the commands in the Layer menu grayed out?

Bought the Iphone 6 2 days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owned. Am not very happy that Bluetooth would present a problem.
I can't help with the other devices but note that an iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458
