Which file do I need and how do I install it so I can run firefox v19?
I've been told by Bosch tech support that I need version 18 or 19 of Firefox in order to be able to connect to and program one of their fire alarm panels. I've found the list of old versions, which file do I need? This is exceptionally important as it is for a Fire Alarm.
Use Portable Firefox 19.0 for that. You can install it without it affecting your Firefox 25.0.1 installation. Then use Firefox 25.0.1 for everything else.
You can get Portable Firefox 19.0 - scroll down the page a bit. <br />

I have the current version of firefox. When I checked my plug-ins on firefox it said Java was outdated. So I updated it and now firefox has disabled it because it is not compatible. So do I now have to take off this version Of java? which version do I need and where do I get it?
Firefox automatically disables only Java Console; see info below on Java Console
See the following article
*https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Add-ons%20are%20disabled%20after%20updating%20Firefox
'''<u>Java Console</u>'''<br />
Unless you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages, you do not need Java Console. Java update will install a new Java Console with each update. Removing the Java Console extensions has no effect on the functioning of Java for web browsing. You can see, '''''but not remove''''', the Java Console extensions in Add-ons > Extensions. Java Console extensions can be safely removed '''''manually''''' by following the instructions in this article:

Currently running Firefox 3.5.13 on laptop using Windows XP pro sp3 and will want to move my bookmarks to a new laptop. New laptop uses Win 7 pro 64-bit OS. I have read too many conflicting reports about Firefox and Win 7 and understand that Firefox is working on a true 64-bit version. What are my choices for a stable web browser for new laptop and which particular version of Firefox is recommended and the pros and cons of that suggestion? (I believe one can run Firefox 32 bit version in the 64 bit environment, but is that the best choice?) I have not installed Firefox on new laptop yet and am eager to dump IE. This is being posted from my old laptop. Thanks ...

If you go to this link you will be assured by Microsoft and Win7 "new" app checking and making sure that all drivers and software you have is compatible with Win7 64 bit. And in this article it states that Firefox version 3 IS compatible and designed for 64 bit OS, hm mm well as you know that is incorrect!! As of today Mozilla Firefox is not designed for a 64 bit computer. Thank you for your honesty and it saved me a big headache By being upnt and honest. my books!! Great job!! -
Mac OS 10.3.9, What do I need and How do I Install OS 9?
Ok so I have an iBook G3 800Mhz laptop with 10.3.9 already installed. I want to install OS 9 for "classic" support and I'm not sure how to do this or what I'll need.
So I have a few questions all in one topic.
What Do I need to install os 9?
How do I install OS 9 with out disturbing my OS X 10.3.9 install.
And Is there any way to avoid having to reinstall OS 10.3.9?Hi, jobbertoo -
Okay, your G3 machine is a PowerBook (Firewire) model. It originally came with OS 9.0.2, which is a model-specific version of OS 9. All Macs have a minimum OS which they can use, typically the version that they originally shipped with.
This means that a retail OS 9.1 or 9.2.1 Install CD is suitable; since you have a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD, it should work.
Yes, Mac drives can be partitioned into two or more volumes; many folk routinely do that, particularly with large drives - among other things, doing so can reduce net seek times. For most purposes, Mac OS's treat each partition as if it were a separate drive; this includes the ability to use each partition as a boot volume, with different OS versions on each (there are a few limitations to this, but none applicable in this instance).
It is not necessary to partition a drive in order to have both OS 9 and OSX on it. OSX was designed to be able to cohabit the same volume (a volume = an unpartitioned drive or a partition of a partitioned drive) as OS 9. On those later machines which shipped with both OS9 and OSX pre-installed, both came on the same volume. In that configuration either OS can be used as the boot OS, and OS 9 can also be used as Classic under OSX.
Many folk prefer to separate OS 9 and OSX; doing so can make housekeeping and, should it ever be necessary, re-installation of either OS much easier. Whether you choose to partition or not is your choice.
<hr>
If you choose to not partition the drive...
You should be able to install OS 9 directly, via a Clean Install. Note that in the Mac OS 9 terminology, a Clean Install erases nothing. Instead, it installs a brand new, 'clean' System Folder, an assortment of OS 9 utility programs, creates a couple of standard OS 9 folders {Applications (Mac OS 9) and Documents}, and little else - it will not overwrite anything. This Apple KBase addresses that -
Article #58176 - Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9: Performing a Clean Installation
You will need to boot the machine to the OS 9.2.1 Install CD in order to do that.
There is a possibility that when you have booted to the CD, the internal hard drive on the PowerBook will not mount (its icon will not be visible on the desktop). If this happens, it usually means that the drive was last formatted by using OSX's Disk Utility and the option to install OS 9 drivers was not selected. If those drivers are not installed, the drive can not be mounted by OS 9, hence is inaccessible for installation when booting to an OS 9 install CD. This Apple KBase article discusses that issue -
Article #106849 - Disk Is Available in Mac OS X But Not in Mac OS 9
If that is the case, the article suggests one possible remedy - using OS 9's Drive Setup to re-install OS 9 drivers. Unfortunately that rarely works, and it then becomes necessary to re-initialize the drive in order to get OS 9 drivers onto it. This erases the drive, so backing up things you do not want to lose is necessary.
You can re-initialize the drive using OSX's Disk Utility; if you do, be sure to select the option to install OS 9 drivers.
You can also use OS 9's Drive Setup to do the work; in this case OS 9 drivers are installed automatically.
In either case, select Mac OS Extended as the format.
<hr>
If you do want to partition the drive, you will first need to back up any data you do not want to lose, since partitioning a drive will erase it completely.
You can use OSX's Disk Utility or OS 9's Drive Setup to do the partitioning. If you use OSX's Disk Utiity, be sure to select the option to install OS 9 drivers; in either case select Mac OS Extended as the format for each partition.
The following article describes how to use OS 9's Drive Setup, including using it to partition a drive. OSX's Disk Utility is similar in logic, but the settings are on different pages.
Using Drive Setup
As far as a partitioning scheme goes, it would be very good if the hard drive is at least 10GB in size. If that is the case, you can probably get by with about 2GB for OS 9, and the remainder for OSX. If it happens to be a 20GB drive, I'd suggest 5GB for OS 9, the remainder for OSX.
There are two reasons to grant OSX the lion's share of the drive -
(1) OSX needs more room for installation.
(2) OSX runs best when there is at least 5GB free space on the drive after installation of OSX and its applications.

I have not been able to figure out how to save my bookmarks and settings to a flash drive...
As far as copying off those items, someone else will need to advise as to where they might be located.
However, you might consider an alternative -
Get an external firewire drive, something around 20 or 30GB in size, or even larger. Use it to make a clone of your hard drive - everything will be copied over, including a usable version of OSX. Then do what you need to do to the internal drive; once that is done, clone the items back from the firewire drive. This not only makes moving things around a lot easier, it maintains their integrity - more importantly, it provides you with a backup and archiving drive. In order to clone the internal drive you will need to use a cloning utility, such as one of these -

I would like to run in 10 and be able to open my 9 apps from my 10 apps. folder. Am i looking at a mac in the correct light?
Not exactly.
OS 9 and OSX are completely different operating systems. OS 9 is the culmination of a series of OS's that started with Mac OS 1.0 over 20 years ago, and shares some of the same basic costruction as the fist one. OSX, on the other hand, is brand new - other than some visual similarities, it shares none of the basics with OS 9 and earlier, not even the same logic of what is where and how various OS files interact.
This means that software written for OS 9 will not run in OSX, and vice versa - there are basic incompatibilities.
One solution for that, applicable to machines which can boot to both OS's (only one at a time, of course), is to have both OS's available and choose which to boot the machine to, depending on what software is to be used. Although your machine can boot to either, not all can - many late model G4 machines and all G5 machines can not boot to OS 9.
However, all OSX versions shipped to date can use OS 9 (OS 9.1 or later, depending on the model) as Classic. Classic is OS 9 used as a program (more like a shell rather than as an emulator) while booted to OSX in order to provide an environment in which many OS 9 programs can be run. An install of OS 9 can be used both for booting (for OS 9 bootable machines) as well as for Classic.
Not all OS 9 programs will fare well in Classic - specifically, OS 9 programs which require direct access to the machine's hardware (such as the graphics card) will not run well, if at all, in Classic - the reason is that OSX retains control of the hardware even when Classic is running. The group of programs most susceptible to this limitation is games. -
I am currently running OSX 10.6.8. this version does not have the icloud icon in system preferences. How do I do a forced software update to a version that allows icloud operations. To qualify I have done a number of software updates using the software update dropdown but it does not find the most recent software like mountain Lion or Mavericks etc. Why? surely if I am asking the computer to find the most recent software it would tel me that I am running an out of date software level?
Hi Tubbsy,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
When you run Software Updates from the Apple Menu, it looks for software to update for your current operating system. The first version of Mac OS X to have iCloud functionality built into the System Preferences was Mac OS X Lion 10.7. The current version of Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 is available in the Mac App Store that you can access from the Apple Menu and it is free. Please be sure to check the system requirements to make sure your computer can support the software before downloading and installing. The attached article contains that information and instructions for downloading and installing.

What kind of card do i need, and how easy is it to install?
I bought an airport base station, and found that my 2004 ibook G4 cannot go wireless. I called apple, and they said to buy a card on ebay and installing it won't be too hard. I'd rather do this than buy a new computer, as i just bought tiger. What kind of card do i need and how do i install it? thanks.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)You will need the original Airport card and not an Airport Extreme card.
That is incorrect. The iBook G4 requires the AirPort Extreme card. -

disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to reformat the disk?
Some problems can indeed be fixed this way. But working from Recovery_HD or Disk Warrior DVDs and working in the restricted environment those provide can be difficult. You can literally spend days working on this problem (while your regular work is unavailable) only to discover the old drive is unsalvageable.
There is no way to know up front whether you are facing a major Hardware failure or a minor software glitch, or something in between. Often you are forced to work from the drive you no longer trust. I continue to recommend you do this work from a different, fully functioning Mac OS X booted from a different drive.
If you have had the foresight to (as The hatter often recommends) clone your virgin install onto another drive for use in such situations, you will be able to recover from such problems in record time. If not, my previous recommendations stands:
Buy a new Drive. Or two. Install Mac OS X from scratch on a new drive, and get your Mac running again. Later, you can use the full power of Mac OS X to attempt to rescue your data, if needed. Then Zero the old drive, to see if it can hold data again reliably.
If the old drive eventually provides some needed data, and is salvageable, Merry Christmas. -
Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it?
Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it? Operating system is Windows 7 and I have Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 installed. Adobe Acrobat X Pro just updated to version 10.1.8
Hi. Thanks for the replyl
I'm in prepress, working mainly with Quark XPress for advertising files and with Word, Photoshop, everything, for many years. My older computer is the workhorse with Quark 6.5 and CS4 and OSX 10.4.11. Everything is set up for me to produce PDF x1a files by printing .ps files from Quark and Word, and InDesign.
My newer computer, OSX 10.9.4, must now be used to a greater extent. So I have Quark 9 and 10 and now Creative Suite for the Cloud. But I don't have any Adobe PDF printer which I select when I print .ps files and place into my Distiller Watched Folder. I by pass selecting the Adobe PDF printer in Word and just print straight to .ps. The .ps file just sits in the Watched Folder and no longer flows into Distiller, processed and out. Is this the way of the future? I just want a smooth, fast flow for PDF's. I want them to be PDF x1a compliant for hi-quality printing.
Thought you might help to give me info as to how one uses Distiller (or not) with the new operating system and latest programs. Can't seem to find any info as of yet by searching the Adobe FAQ's and the Internet in general.
Thanks alot.

Need to transfer all my photos from iPhoto app in my computer to another one, which files do I need to copy?
You need to find your iPhoto Library and copy this package to your other computer.
By default the library will be called iPhoto Libary.photolibrary and located in your Pictures folder. YOu will recognize it by the typical "fan of pictures" icon. The color of the icon wil depend on the iPhoto version. What is your version of iPhoto? -
I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?
Hard drive full or near full:
You are going to have to delete, move or archive your data to regain hard drive space.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon and empty the Trash.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
You may have to Purchase an external FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drive to move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -
I need to how can I have Mac OS Lion, as I bought my Macbook Pro in beginning of June 2011 from Apple Store in US.
The serial number of my product is C0*******H2M. Please confirm me that I can have it for free, and how could I install it. Many Thanks.
<Edited by Host>Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion. -

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video -
Hello everyone. As a new Mac user, I would really like to know the easiest way to move my music files from my old PC to my MacBook? Do I move only the files, the entire iTunes and how? I have a lot of music so it is not a solution with iPod/iPhone.
