Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't. I have bad eye-sight and really enjoy and NEED this feature to be able to read most sites.

Hi dwightfontenot-
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Firefox used to be able to open my library search, but now it can't Internet explorer can

When opening my public library account and searching for a book, Firefox now opens a weird back door type of search screen that is hard to read, it used to work fine. Internet Explorer opens the normal search screen. I have screen shots of the two searches if this is helpful.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here:
right-click the page, choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
If that doesn't help, you might try using Firefox's Safe Mode as a diagnostic tool to see whether one of your add-ons could be at fault.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that fix it?
I should add that the site seemed to work normally for me, but I can only test logged out and the logged in behavior might be different.

Used to be able to save images from webpages but now with IOS 5, I can only save to reading list?

Used to be able to save images from webpages but now with IOS 5, I can only save to reading list even when viewing a page whose images I could save as an image when using the previous OS.

Are you using the YouTube widget in iWeb? If so it doesn't work any more. Not since MobileMe was discontinued.
You need to get the full embed code from YouTube and use the standard HTML snippet.

My iphone4s died, mom gave me her old 3gs, i had to get a new sim to fit the 3gs, how can I sync all my old contacts? I have a macbook pro, tech told me that it would sync from my icloud but it has not. Thanks!

Syncing the 3GS is exactly the same as syncing the 4S - so just do the same as you've been doing.
How do you normally sync contacts from your Mac to your iPhone? Via iTunes over USB/WiFi, or via iCloud?

To determine if it is, boot into Safe Mode and see what happens. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455

Used to be able to connect to bluetooth headset but now can't?

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4 and a jabra headset.
As it says, I was able to connect them up until about 2 weeks ago (not entirely sure as I don't use the headset every day) but now I can't?
The phone can see the headset but just wont connect.
I keep 'forgetting device' and then getting the headset into 'find' mode, then I put the password in when the iPhone wants to pair and then it just sits there trying to connect but doesn't.
Has anything changed on the last update or the push to fix the alarm?
Or have I switched something off inadvertently?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Pete

Hi Traveller,
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I don't have that problem as my phone just wont connect to the headset so I haven't got the option to switch to it when I have an incoming call.
My main issue is that I had no problem at all a couple of weeks ago, it worked fine with no disconnection's and I was able to use it at my desk whilst doing other stuff, very handy. Now it just wont connect to the headset although it can see it, it just hangs whilst trying to pair to it?
TBH I really like the phone, it's my 1st iPhone and I'm glad I got it, once you accept that you can't just bluetooth pics etc to a friends phone (non iphone) the rest seems really good. I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with yours.
Thanks again for your reply tho.
Kind regards
Pete

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

I updated Pages, but now I can't open docs.

I updated Pages a few months ago and loved the updates. Now I can't open any docs I created AFTER the update. When I try to open them, it says that I need to download a newer version of Pages. When I try to download the newer version, it says that the newest version is already installed. Help.

So part of the "new, improved" Pages is that you have problems opening your files? Hmmm?
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
