With FF 23.0.1, I can no longer replace the standard Firefox icon in Snow Leopard to match the rest of my icon scheme -- why not?
Hi. I use a custom icon scheme in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my Mac Pro. Normally, when Firefox updates itself, its icon is reset to the default. I then change it back to my custom icon by the normal method: go to Get Info, unlock the access settings, paste the custom icon over the highlighted default icon in the top left corner of the Get Info box, reset the access and lock it, and then close the Get Info box. After that, the custom icon reappears the first time I launch Firefox.
I can no longer change the icon by this method, so I'm assuming that it's something in FF 23.0.1 that's been changed to prevent the icon swap, especially as the regular method is working with all my other applications. I'm fussy about appearance/presentation stuff like this, so I'll keep messing around to see if I can find another method of changing the icon. If I can't modify the stock icon, I guess it will back to Chrome. I'd REALLY rather not have to switch, so if there's a simple fix I'm missing, I'd love to know about it.
This add-on will restore the keyword.URL preference which was removed in Firefox 23. <br />

I can no longer reinstall an app I purchased on Snow Leopard
Now let me try to explain this as easily as possible.
I have OS X 10.6.8 running on a prematurely obsoleted Core Duo iMac, and I stupidly purchased Apps on the Mac App Store.
My computer was behaving very strangely and I reinstalled the OS...
I log in to my App Store account and try to redownload some of the Apps I have purchased.
Several of them say... Cannot install, need OS X 10.7...
No worries, I think. I just need to recover them from my Time Machine backup. And I do so.
But one or two of the apps in my backups were updated just after the time machine backup last took place to their final, Snow Leopard compatible version and the older versions I have reinstalled from Time Machine cannot read the data files created by these newer, updated versions.
I cannot get the required version of the software. I cannot upgrade to Lion.
I hope you managed to stay with me long enough...
Any suggestions.
Apple's treadmill of exciting upgrades used to thrill me when I had spare money to waste on the latest and greatest. Now it just tires me, I'm getting fed up of their forced obsolescence of old stuff...
Sadly, the days when one used to say... "But don't worry about the next new OS, because your computer is still just a good as it used to be."
I'm backing up this post before I submit it... just in case...I have the same problem (for Mac and iPhone apps) and contacted Apple about this.
The English speaking support said it is a known error and that they are working on a solution. The German support however (which I contacted first, unfortunately) gave me a refund of the apps I wrote them as an example. They told me I should buy them again – which is not possible, since the MacAppStore then gives the message "You have already purchased this app..." Ironically, for one of the two apps I was finally able to write a review, even at this point it wasn't listed in the purchased apps list anymore.
I've never asked for a refund, and it's causing me more trouble than I had before: now I cannot update these refunded apps anymore (since they are not listed in the "Purchased" list). So I have to check manually if there is a new update (comparing version numbers) and then delete the app and "purchase" it again. Of course I would simply buy the apps from the developer directly, however, they are MacAppStore only.
When I asked the AppStore support about a solution for this problem, they said it's technically not possible to write reviews for refunded apps (? yes, of course they were not really reading what I wrote them. I guess support at Apple is done by Siri now) and gave 10 free iTunes songs.
I think reviews are very important for both customers and developers and it's not just a minor inconvenience, but a serious problem; what is especially disturbing, is that it's not the same for all apps: for Pixelmator, I had no problems to post a review, for Jumsoft's "Relationship" it doesn't work, for some apps it worked immediately, for some after a few weeks, for some never. -

I have the exact same issue. I can print one document and then I get the error mentionned above ("adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"). Then I need to reboot in order to be able to print a new document.
I have suite and went to Photoshop as suggested, but this program is already activated. I tried to launch Acrobat Pro but it won't.
I'm using the Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite on Windows Vista.
Thank you so much for your help. -
With Mavericks and Safari 7, I can no longer use address bar to search.
With Mavericks and Safari 7, I can no longer use address bar to search. It shows the suggested searches but nothing happens when hitting enter or clicking with mouse. What can I do? No extensions btw.
I just cannot search - it won't work.I had this problem and finally figured it out. Try going to View, and then Show Toolbar. I hope this helps everyone...
EDIT: I didn't read your question carefully enough. Sorry. My problem was that the toolbar wasn't showing up at all. -

I'm running Lion on a Late 2008 MacBook Air.
With no other applications running, I can no longer Check for Software Updates. It gets about half way through the checking process and then freezes.
The MBA passes Disk Utility. Thoughts?
Thanks
Jim TaylorHow long do you leave it?
Mine can sometimes sit for quite a while (maybe 10 minutes??) before it finally finishes.
You could look at the relevant logs via Console (Utilities folder) to see if Software Update is complaining about anything.

I found out after the install of LION, that it does not support Rosetta, which runs Quicken and the classic AOL software and a myriad of other apps.
Can I go back to Snow Leopard? Is there a way to retrieve my thousands of saved E mails, which are saved on my Mac?
I still see the filing cabinet with my screen name but cannot get them to open.
Please help! Lion may roar, but the fact it does not support apps like quicken means it purrs.I had the Apple store wiped out my hard drive and I restore my last hard drive downloard by first placing Snow leopard DVD in the DVD drive and holding "C" when turning on the machine then I follow the instructions. I am back on snow leopard and trying out two finance software to replace Quicken for mac 2007. I am trialing Quicken essentials and ibank. They are both compatable with LION. So when I am ready will download Lion again. Also, Micorsoft Office needs to be 2011 version for it to work on Lion

I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?
Thanks Gary, but no, that does not work. First of all, I can't select each bar individually. When I click on one bar, all three bars are selected.
When I use "inspector > graphic" I have 5 fill options: none, color, gradient, image, tinted image. The default selection for the theme I'm using is image. What I would like to use for my charts is the same image that this theme uses for table headers. It has the same texture as the chart, but a different colour. Using anything but image or tinted image removes the texture from the fill.
I have found I can do one of two things. I can select tinted image from the fill selections in "inspector > graphic" or I can select 2D Image Fills from "inspector > chart > chart colors". The first choice does not allow me to match the table header colour because it only allows me to apply a tint to the existing colour and adjust its opacity. The existing colour has too much influence on the fill, so I can't find an RGB adjustment that will match the table header colour. The image selections from "inspector > chart > chart colors" do not quite match the colour or the texture. Again, I can try to tint the image, but I still can't get it to match and the texture is not the same anyway.
The image I want to use obviously exists in the software as it is an attribute of the theme, but for some reason is inaccessible. The other angle I have tried is to edit the theme, but I can't figure out how to do that either. -
My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?
Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
*Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
So do not rely on it.<br />
If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system. -
I can no longer get my complete bank statements online, and my bank blames the latest Safari update and tells me to switch to Firefox. Is there no other solution?
I would feel dreadful If I thought had caused you a problem. The warnings about Java are fully justified but providing you are communicating with a known source, and as I said, you disable it the moment you have finished, you should be safe.
It might also be worth asking your bank what problem they have and would it be the same if you were using Firefox, for example.
Like you, I am very security minded, in fact I won't even put my bank details on my Mac let alone run my account that way. -
I upgraded recently my firefox browser on my home computer which still runs Windows XP. I can no longer find websites thru firefox, tho, I can load websites through a google or yahoo search.
The firefox browser won't download secure or unsecure site. I type in the full name of the site, and it just hangs. I do not receive an error message.
Internet explorer continues to work fine on the computer.
I emptied my cookies and search history and updated the proxy setting to "no proxy". I still have the same problem.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox with the hopes of changing the initial settings (to see if I should have disabled or abled more of the boxes). Unfortunately, the program didn't fully uninstall .. and the firefox reverts to where it was the last time I logged on.A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
