With the most recent version of Firefox I can no longer use the track pad zoom feature on my Mac. All previous versions were compatible and worked well. What happened?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
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. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Why doesn't the track pad zoom feature on my Macbook Pro work with the newest version of Firefoz?

The track pad zoom feature doesn't work with the latest version of Firefox. It did on the previous version. I used to use Firefox as my default browser, but no longer use it very much due to the incompatibility of this version on my Macbook Pro.

Why won't the newest version of iTunes download on my PC?

I tried downloading the newest version of iTunes today and there were some issues so it suggested that I reinstall. I tried doing that, but now I am getting an error message that says "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privledges to start system services. I recently switched from and iPhone 4s to a Samsung Galaxy S4. Could this be the issue? What should I do to get past this

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I have bad eyesight and normally run a browser @ easy to see size why doesn't the NEW version of FF keep resizing??

First of all thanks for the browser...2ndly why does every website and it's grandmother require me to "register" with them. I have more accounts than the pentagon and am getting sick of it.
I really do not like this new version but the plug-ins for the old one quit working so here we are.
The old version I was using would let me ctrl + + my viewing window and SAVE it. Now everytime I open a window in FF it goes to default...so now I'm stuck with a browser I don't like compared to previous versions AND I can't see the print in the windows FURTHER straining my eyes. Now every window I open I have to resize (Zoom) the webpage in...every...time...Why??? Why do ppl change things that were working just fine??? Why make something so hideous??
The older versions were just fine the way they were imo and thank you for them and I guess thx for trying on this version. Please consider going back to the older versions.

Sorry, I'm not sure why Firefox 6 is no longer remembering your zoom settings, but installing the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/ No Squint add-on]''' might help. No Squint provides options to remember zoom settings for specific web pages, or for all pages.

Why doesn't the newest edition of Firefox allow my Norton Identity Safe program to work in conjunction with it

Hello
I have been prompted to upgrade Firefox several times now and I actually did once but ended up performing an uninstall after finding out it doesn't work with my very expensive Norton Identity Safe/ Virus Software. Is there any way to remedy this issue as I won't abandon the software I have already purchased and would really like to continue using Firefox (definitely fewer issues than the internet browser that came pre-downloaded on my new laptop).
Thank you for your time
Ash

I have heard that Norton released an update patch for Firefox 5.0 on Tuesday 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released. ''(versus taking their normal six to eight weeks)'' Some Norton users have reported that the toolbar may not work if the Norton patch was installed before Firefox 5.0, instead if after Firefox 5.0 was already installed.

Why doesn't my fifth generation ipod nano work with my Toyota Yaris?

Hello – The charging feature on my new fifth generation ipod nano doesn’t work with the factory glove compartment adapter that came with my 2008 Toyota Yaris. It plays music, etc but does not charge the ipod when connected.
My third generation nano charged perfectly with my yaris until it was run over and crushed recently. My nano gen 5 replacement doesn’t work the same with my Yaris. Can anyone help?

I cannot say for sure, I don't know anything about the toyota yaris. However, if that system was built to work with older firewire based iPods, then it will not charge new USB based units. There are converters out there you can get do deal with this.

Why doesn't the Verizon Version of the HTC ONE (M9) have Wifi Calling?

I have been with sprint for 11 years and recently upgraded my HTC One (M7) to the HTC One (M9). went to jamaica and was able to keep in touch with everyone free of charge with wifi calling. Once i returned i decided to leave sprint and come to Verizon. I realized today they dont have wifi calling on this phone. Why is that. isn't it CDMA like sprint

They're planning on releasing it in mid-2015:
Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) plans to introduce Wi-Fi calling in the middle of next year but does not see an urgent need for it, according to Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo.
Speaking at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference, Shammo noted that Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus support Wi-Fi calling. He said Verizon needs to do "some technological work in our network to make it available," and it should come around the middle of next year.
However, he said Wi-Fi calling was "never a top priority" for Verizon. "We built our voice platform so extensively [that] there was never a need for us to tell our customers, 'Oh, our network is not good enough so you need to go on Wi-Fi to complete your call.'"
He noted that when a call goes onto a Wi-Fi network, it's difficult for Verizon to guarantee the quality of service on that call, which is what Verizon has built its brand reputation on. That's a major reason Verizon waited so long to launch Voice over LTE service--it wanted to make sure it had adequate coverage that could replicate the voice experience of calls on its 3G CDMA network. Verizon has just started rolling out VoLTE service.
Other carriers are moving ahead with Wi-Fi calling plans. Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T's Mobile & Business Solutions Group, said last week that AT&T will launch Wi-Fi calling in 2015 but that the carrier will use it only as a complement to Voice over LTE or 3G-based calling. "We don't have this burning desire" to use it to enhance coverage, he said.
The comments were notable in light of T-Mobile US' (NYSE:TMUS) announcement this week that heavily emphasized Wi-Fi calling and using personal routers to create Wi-Fi coverage areas in subscribers' homes. T-Mobile is the first and only U.S. carrier to support Wi-Fi calling on the new iPhone. Sprint (NYSE: S) also launched a Wi-Fi calling service for its Android smartphones this past February.
In terms of other hot topics, Shammo said Verizon would not be leasing phones, as Sprint is doing with its "iPhone for life" offering with the new iPhones. Under that program, individual customers will pay $20 a month for a 16 GB iPhone 6, instead of $30 under normal financing. At the end of 24 months, they can trade in their iPhone for a new iPhone. The iPhone 6 Plus will cost $25 per month under this program instead of $35 under normal financing. If a customer wants an iPhone with more internal storage they will pay more per month. The leasing program applies to families as well.
Shammo said Verizon offers its Edge handset-financing and early-upgrade program but that the "majority" of Verizon customers are still choosing subsidized handsets paired with two-year contracts. In contrast, AT&T said sales through its similar Next program represented around 50 percent of all smartphone sales in the second quarter.
Shammo also touched on whether Verizon might sell its wireless-tower assets, saying the company remains open to it. In the past, doing a deal "always came down to price and terms and conditions," which he said have become more favorable. He said that Verizon's network is experiencing high demand and that the company would like to retain the flexibility to add towers or add network gear to existing towers. "It's an option for us," he said. "We continue to look at it, and we'll see what happens."
Last week at a separate investor conference, Verizon Communciations CEO Lowell McAdam also said the company would be open to selling some of its towers if the price was right. "Those deals are coming to us a little more now, and if an opportunity presented itself to increase shareholder value" Verizon would be interested in pursuing it, McAdam said, according to Reuters. McAdam said Verizon received interest in its towers two years ago, but the bids weren't high enough.

Why doesn't my ipad2 or iPhone 4 work with my av composite cable?

I bought an apple av composite cable and I plugged it in to my tv and iPad 2 and iPhone 4 and it did not show anything on the tv. I plugged my iPad on one of my TVs and i only heard sound. on other tv I didn't see or hear anything. Don't know what the problem is.

I'm having the same issues. I am using the iPhone 3 version 4.3.3 and I am trying to play movies on my TV that I purchased from iTunes using the Apple composite cable attached to my iPhone. There is sound but no video. You can see the movie playing on the iPhone but the movie does not play on the tv. However, if I go into music videos under my iPod icon on the iPhone, those do play on the TV with sound and picture.
When you download a movie from iTunes and save it to your iPhone, does it not already save it in videos? I have them under my iPod icon on my iPhone and then I click videos to view. Music videos, TV shows and movies are all in the videos tab under the iPod icon.

WHY doesn't TEXT to SPEECH no longer work with New "Pages" documents?

(Using OS X 10.9 Maverics …)
PLEASE reinstate the TEXT to SPEECH as it was in all earlier versions. This is a highly used benefit to, I'm sure many happy users - UNTIL the new "DOWNGRADE" of Pages - a great disappointment.
If you have a "FIX" that works across all applications … as before "Pages 9," please share it with the forum.
Thanks,
BoneHead
(Using OS X 10.9 Maverics …)

If you have a comment you wish to direct at Apple regarding Text to Speech, then that is an OS X feedback issue. If you have an issue with Pages for Mac, it is a different feedback page.
No one on this community forum is going to reinstate Text to Speech as we are strictly volunteers and not Apple badged employees. Apple won't see your post. Their engineers are busy elsewhere.
Use the formal feedback process above, and do not be surprised if you never hear from Apple.

About every 30 sec im getting a lag in firefox,any ideas why?Useing the newest version.

about every 30 sec or so my mouse freezes along with the page im viewing.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Why doesn't "My Tom Tom" (GPS site) work with Firefox? I can only seem to get updates via IE.

When I initially activated my Tom Tom GPS (Jan 2012) I did not have a problem using Firefox. About 4-6 weeks ago I attempted to update the device and "My Tom Tom" would not run with Firefox. After literally hours of trying to get it to work, I tried Internet Explorer and the updates ran without a hitch. Today I had the same problem and after a few unsuccessful attempts to use Firefox, switched to IE and had no problems. I am not sure, but I think I updated my Tom Tom device at least once via Firefox and believe the problem developed sometime after April 2012

It is most likely because you are running a very out of date version of Firefox. I have a TomTom, and it works fine with Firefox 15.0.1. Try to update to that then try again.

HT5022 Why doesn't this Airport Utility 5.6 work with Mountain Lion 10.8?

Tried to install 5.6 and at the select a destinationfor the Air Port Utility 5.6 software was advised that the version of MacOS X (10.8 Mountain Lion) is not supported. Is there a solution to this problem or has a software update rendered my old Airport Express redundant??

Does anyone know if Airport Utility 5.6 running in OS X 10.8.4 can adjust the wireless transmit power level on the new Airport Extreme 802.11ac?
It cannot.
It might appear as if the change was made in 5.6.......but once you close 5.6 and open 6.3.1.....then open 5.6 again, you will see that the Transmit Power has reverted back to 100%.
Same thing for Radio Mode. It might appear as if you can change the Radio Mode in 5.6.....but it won't "stick". The setting will revert back to Automatic.
I think the bottom line here is that if you don't see the setting that you want to change in 6.3.1.....then trying to change it in 5.6 will not work. So, you might as well use 6.3.1 with the new Time Capsule and new AirPort Extreme.
I don't think 5.6 will hurt anything....it just won't do any good.

Why isn't the newest version of safari installing?

I'm trying to install either new Safari versions available: 10.0.5 for Snow Leopard or Leopard, and neither work. I have Snow leopard Mac O SX 10.6.3 so there should be no problem. Why is this so?

It says 10.6.5 or later under requirements. I would suggest updating your system. 10.6.8 was recently released.

Why doesn't the "zoom in/out" via pinching the trackpad on my mac not work anymore with firefox? It worked before and still works with Safari.
