Why do my pin apps not reload if I close Firefox? (Mac OS 10.6.7)

Pin Apps are supposed to sit nicely on the left hand side (which they do) and are also supposed to reload automatically when you re-start Firefox 4 (which they do not). Could I be doing something wrong? Is there something I need to do specially so they stay put??

There are two methods you could use to perform the upgrade but first, back up your computer. As X42.. suggests, a bootable clone is a very good idea - use SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner to make an exact duplicate of your computer's hard drive. This can be used as a backup and can also be used to boot into Snow Leopard should you need to do so.
To upgrade to Lion (1) download Lion and let it upgrade your computer. Your data and old programs will remain on the computer untouched. During the upgrade process Lion may find some plug-ins or programs that are definitely incompatible and put them into a folder labeled Incompatible Programs. (2) restart your computer from the clone backup you made and download Lion. Now use the installer to erase the computer's hard drive and install Lion on the computer's drive. Then use Setup Manager to migrate your data and programs.
In either case, as X42.. said, you may have some incompatible software which needs to be upgraded and some may no longer be supported. That's one of the advantages of having the Snow Leopard bootable external drive. I found that the simple upgrade (1) worked for nearly every computer I upgraded. I had one computer that required the erase and install (2) method.

Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display... Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

Working fine on my system
If on wifi, try ethernet
Make sure router is up to date
Reboot all components

When I create app tabs they appear as they should. When I close firefox and open it it fresh all the app tabs are gone. How can I pin them sothey do not disappear when I close firefox?

see question

Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.

I love app tabs but everytime I close firefox they are not there when I open it, help

I just discovered app tabs and found it really easy to set them up but each time I close Firefox and then reopen, all the app tabs I have set no longer exist. How do I get them to save?

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

'Preview' app not supported on this type of Mac

When I'm trying to launch the 'Preview' app (either from Launchpad, or by clicking any image/pdf file twice), the following message appears:
You can't open the application "Preview" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
The last time it worked fine was two weeks ago. No new applications installed, no hardware changes. Restarting the Mac does not help. Disk utility permissions check done, permissions repaired.
I can still launch the 'Preview' app by double-clicking Preview in
/Applications/Preview/Contents/MacOS/
(I have to click 'Show Package Contents' in the context menu of the 'Preview' app in Applications to see its content)
The 'Preview' app is the only application with a white-grey prohibition sign on its icon. All the other applications work fine.
Please help.

Thanks, Drew Reece. This is the 'Get info' screenshot.
I will try to reinstall the OS then.
It is even funny how fragile the OS is. I guess the simple update to 10.9 have broken the 'Preview' app...
UPDATE:
I don't see a way to backup the OS w/o a TimeMachine. I would not like to change logical structure of the hard drive.

Why are cookies not deleted when I close Firefox?

Hey,
My problem is that I set Tools / Options / Privacy / History to "Use custom settings for history", and then under cookies I set Keep until: to "I close Firefox".
Yet, when I close my browser and restart none of the cookies are deleted. If I save my tabs, I stay logged in on the websites that are open on the saved tabs. But even if I close the website, and then quit. And then reopen the website after launching Firefox again, I am still logged in. Whereas Firefox is set not to remember any of my usernames or passwords, so the only way this can happen is via cookies. Therefore, the cookies are not deleted. But I can also see it in the list of cookies: it's full of old stuff.
So why are cookies not deleted despite this setting?
Firefox has beeen pretty soft on privacy lately, and frankly I don't understand why. The possibility to have history older than X days automatically deleted has also been gone for a long time, and now this cookie setting doesn't work, either.

Hi madperson,
I turned this setting on a long time ago. Basically, it's one of the first things I do after installing my OS and Firefox. So there shouldn't be so many old cookies there.
But anyways, just now I deleted all the cookies manually via Tools / Options / Privacy / Show Cookies / Remove All Cookies to be sure that all the old stuff is wiped out. And yet it still doesn't work.
I logged in to my Gmail account (the Remember Me box ain't checked), closed the tab containing my Gmail account and then closed Firefox. After that I verified in the Task Manager that firefox.exe is indeed not running anymore. So Firefox definitely shut down properly. Then, I restarted Firefox and opened a tab, entered gmail.com, and I was still logged in, therefore the cookies were not deleted.
I have the 10.1.101.000 version of ZoneAlarm, which as it turns out after googling it is indeed not the latest version (it was released in March 2012). The ZoneAlarm Firefox add-on that automatically comes with the firewall is disabled in Firefox.

Cache, cookies and history are not clearing when I close Firefox even though they are set to do so and have been for ages

I recently had an update (or upgrade?) for FF 16. Today (and I believe the update was done a day or two ago?) my cache, cookies and history are not clearing when I close FF. Also, certain links are not working. Not links for full web pages but for site pop-ups (like the smilie window on a message board). They worked a few days but are not working today. I click the link and nothing happens. I noticed the problem with the cookies not clearing for a few weeks ago but it was only on one site not all sites which is what's happening now.
My apologies if that's a little confusing. Thanks!

At any rate, have you tried running Firefox in Private Browsing mode? This will ensure that no infromation from your session is saved once you exit Private Browsing mode and/or exit Firefox.
You can set Firefox to always start in Private Browsing mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-browse-web-without-saving-info#w_how-do-i-always-start-firefox-in-private-browsing

Why is my iMessage app not updating?

I have used (and LOVE) the iMessage app on my Macbook Pro. Has worked perfectly, even through iOS7 upgrades, and the Mavericks update, as well.
However over the past few days, it will not update correctly. I can send messages from it, but it does not show the incoming messages most of the time. They come through just fine to my phone and iPad, but not on my Mac... any thoughts as to why this is occurring?

Turns out that Feedburner was overruling the code in my XML with their "Smartcast" settings, which I have now disabled. Weird!

Why is the youtube app not the new ipad

Apple decided to remove google apps from being included in iOS. Google released an iPhone version of YouTube that you could install while we all patiently (or not) wait for google to make it universal...

Why are my icloud apps not updating?

Whether or not my iCloud LISTS or CALENDARS update across all of my app devices they are supposed to is a hit or miss deal. Sometimes they do quickly, sometimes it takes forever, sometimes not at all. Why??

Syncing hasn't worked for me for a couple of days now. It must be something on Apple's end.

Why is 'search' in 'Apps' not really a search?

Try searching 'Evernote', or some other 1-word app name. Is the app you seek *ever* even among the first 5 hits, even if it's called exactly and only what you typed into the search field?
If I were an app developer, I'd be mad that 'search' won't help my customers find my product. Especially if I were losing income.
I don't get why 'search' isn't really search. Who stands to gain? If I'm walking down the street on the way to Starbucks and someone stuffs me into their trunk and dumps me off at Williams-Sonoma, or the hardware store, I'm not going to suddenly buy a blender or a hammer chisel. It's just going to take me longer to spend my money at Starbucks. In which case, if I were Starbucks I'd be annoyed.
The latest firmware update claims to have improved searching in the App Catalog. H0ly cr@p, how bad was it *before*? The way it is now, I don't think I'd even go for a paid app, just because this sense that something out there is trying to hoodwink me is hurting my trust in the reliability and security of the app catalog as a whole.
Just venting. Hoping it gets fixed someday, so I can really see what's 'out there'. Until then, I guess I'll just use the apps on my iPod touch.

jguerrero;
I tried searching for "pandora" in the app catalog, and the Pandora Radio app was the very first in the list. Make sure you've updated to the most recent version.
Also, you can browse all apps available in not only the official App Catalog, but also the Beta Catalog and Web Distribution Catalog on precentral.net, as well as projectappetite.com. Please note that projectappetite is a demonstration site, showing what is possible. Some features and functions may not be available there.
Hope this helps,
