With only 436mb backed up to mozy from my old mini 10.4.11 would it not be easier to download from mozy to my new mini rather than xfer files manually?

I'm told this might take longer but considering the minimal amount of files....? I'm a novice and I'm reading posts where people seem to be having problems transferring files manually.

I am not sure I am completely understanding what you are saying, but it appears you are migrating from an old computer to a new one. By far the safest, most reliable, and often the fastest, means of transferring data and applications from one computer to another is the Migration Assistant application found in /Applications/Utilities. The Migration Assistant help provides a clear explanation of the process.

Am replacing airport extreme with Time Machine and want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard. Am told I should manually back up into T Machine before OS update but set up utility won't allow anything with OS below 10.5 and I'm 10.4.11. What to do?

I think you mean you are replacing your Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule. Time Machine is software integrated into OS X 10.5 & 10.6 used to automatically backup a system to an external HD. Time Capsule is an Airport Extreme that has a hard disk integrated into it that can be used for storage or as a Time Machine backup drive.
Because you are currently on Tiger 10.4.x you can backup to a external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Having a backup is very wise before doing any major system update. After you have created the backup and have successfully upgraded to Snow Leopard you can still use the external HD for many things. The strategy I'd recommend is to use the new Time Capsule as your Time Machine backup and then use the external HD as backup using SuperDuper or CCC. Redundant backups is wise because backups can (and do) fail too! In addition both SD and CCC are bootable clones, this is useful in that if your internal HD crashes you can boot from a cloned drive and continue working until the internal HD is replaced.
Below are some links to some articles from MacWorld, I would recommend reading them where you find a common theme, redundant backups. Backup Plan I, Backup Plan II & Backup Plan III.

My Iphone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. Can anyone help please?

My IPhone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. I have reinstalled ITunes but still this hasn't worked. Can anyone help please?

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Had hard drive renewed due to product recall (iMac) backed up complete system on time machine . Had the drive done got mac back tried to reinstall from time machine .The new drive tells me that the space has been taken up but can't find where the file have gone. Need to free up the space that the ghost file take up so I can drag drop from ex drive onto harddrive

Here's the scoop, new friend.....
When you boot into Time Machine you'll get the same OS X Utilities screen as you would if you booted into the Recovery HD. So, from there go into Disk Utilities to erase/format your internal drive. After that's done, back out to the OS X Utilities screen and select the restore option. Just follow the prompts to select the TM back up date you want to restore from and where to restore it to. Pretty straight forward.

Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

How to play SWF with AxShockwaveFlash control using a stream rather than a file path?

My WinForm app downloads and plays SWF files from my server. Currently, I have an object of type AxShockwaveFlash called "flash" display the movie. The code I use to load the SWF is:
flash.Movie = "http://example.com/file.swf"
The URL is generated dynamically by the module based on what the user wants to watch. I'd like to know how can I load the SWF using a memory stream rather than a file path? I have already configured my server to process the url and return the contents
of the file. What I don't know is how to read those contents within my WinForm application as a stream instead of the default which is to just provide a URL path to the movie.
For instance I think I can use the Net.HttpWebRequest object to make an HTTP request, and read the response contained in the resulting Net.HttpWebResponse into a stream, but I have no idea what I could do to that stream to feed it to AxShockwaveFlash
A very similar question was posed on
stackOverflow but I cannot make sense of the answer (I'm quite inexperienced).
I'd appreciate your help,
-Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Since this issue is mainly related to a control which belongs to third-party, I would recommend you consider posting this issue on the same site like the following thread because issues related to third-party are not supported.

I run Firefox with at least twenty tabs open at the same time. Version 23 (and later versions) load the tabs MUCH more slowly (2 mins rather than 15 secs). HELP

I run Firefox with at least twenty tabs open at the same time. All versions of Firefox newer than version 22 ) load the tabs MUCH more slowly ( approx 2 mins rather than merely 15 secs). HELP!!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Also check your security software.
You can use the Network tab (the one at the right in the menu) in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K) to check the server response (left-click an entry) see if that is the problem (reload via Ctrl+F5 to bypass the cache).

Why do I receive messages with only a date, no subject, no from, no body, etc.?

at varying times I receive messages with a blank subject, no entry in [from, to] no body, but a date in 1969.
Any ideas why I receive these?

Thank you for your help.
I tried emptying the inbox, deleting the 2 files, and restarting TB.
I did the same for Sent and Trash.
I also deleted all .msf files for all inbox sub-folders and for all folders and sub-folders under "My Mail".
the problem persists.
My inbox has many sub-folders and sub-sub-folders should those be moved to My Mail?
Another problem I am having. I do not know if it is related.
I have a stack of filters that move incoming mail into folders. The stack ends with 2 filters.
(1) a filter that checks whether FROM is from someone in my mail lists. It then moves the message into a folder called "Known Sender".
(2) a psuedo-ELSE filter that check whether the subject contains a very improbable string. It put the message in a folder called ") Suspicious".
Sometimes I still end up with folders in Inbox that clearly should be in the two folders, "Known Sender" or ") Suspicious".

I have not been able to download previous purchases since the new update. I keep getting a message that says this computer is associated with an APPLEID and that I can download previous purchases again in 82 days with a different ID?? I only have ONE ID

I keep getting a message that says my computer is associated with an APPLE ID?? That I can download previous purchases again in 82 days with a different ID? I don't understand why it wont allow me to download previous purchases?? I never had this problem before the 10.5 update. I have emailed their help panel numerious times and they never do anything that remedies the problem?? I only have one computer and one ID I just dont understand what the problem is. I use a 3G connection to download music and sometimes the songs are not completely downloaded too and when I cant redownload them its like a waste of money.. I am so discouraged!!! Has any of you had this problem or know what I can do to fix this problem?? Thanks!!!

Hi Bander Bunny!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

As you have iOS 6 you must be a developer and therefore should know that discussing iOS 6 outside of the private developer only forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to gain access to it.
So, post your question in the private developer only forums.

Fewer problems with Leopard if bought on new iMac rather than upgrade?

I bought a new iMac (my 1st Mac ever) just before Leopard came out, so I have Tiger 10.4.11 now and love it. I've had no problems whatsoever and really don't plan on upgrading to Leopard because of all the problems I keep reading about. My brother is thinking about buying an iMac but hesitates because he's heard so many problems about Leopard. Question for you guys - do the Leopard problems seem more common if you've done an upgrade from Tiger, or are the problems just as common if you buy a new iMac with Leopard installed? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Your choice - BUT remember that Millions of people have upgraded with NO problems - you only read about the very few who do have problems. Leopard is a great OS and IF you upgrade carefully (repair your disk, fix permissions, backup and have a bootable clone in case of problems) you are very unlikely to have problems and it is EASY to go back to your clone in the unlikely case that you do have any problem.

This is a "how long ago did yo stop beating your wife question" - Problems are VERY uncommon in either case. With new systems they are highly unlikely since there is no previous damage to the system and NO incompatible third party software on the system - but problems are extremely uncommon in either case
He should move ahead with his purchase IMHO.

Okay, my gateway laptop crashed about 2 months ago and Im saving up for a new Mac. I want to use my iPhone 4 on the Mac, but how do I do that with out wiping my phoen clean or without my old laptop too. And I am not tech savvy so I need step by step.

So basically I'm a girl who can't figure out technology. I want my music and apps to stay and I want to be able to update my phone because it still has it's original software.

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

Is there a way to remove duplicates from all iphoto albums at once rather than one by one

I have somehow copied many photos and want to clean up my iphoto albums. does anyone have info if this is possible.

1. There are 3rd party programs that do this...I don't know of any free ones. When I had this problem, I ended up deleting the duplicates, one by one, as I didn't have that many to deal with.
2. However when I asked this same question a long time ago, I was told a really nifty trick (for iPhoto 8).
First create a folder on the Desktop (I name mine "photos") and Drag/Drop or Copy the photos from the camera or source folder (could be on hard drive) into the Desktop folder named "photos". Then using iPhoto, import the photos from the Desktop folder. As it imports, iPhoto checks if the photos are duplicates and gives you choice to import the dupes or not. This has saved me countless times.

Why does Firefox 5 open links in a new tab or new window rather than within the same tab? Previous versions opened links in the same tab allowing use of the "back" button on the mouse. Having to close so many tabs and windows is really irritating.

Vista Ultimate SP2

The problem is just with the name of the tab, not with the contents of the page -- the page looks normal??
I ask about the page because Firefox 23 seems to have introduced a problem with Firefox's "fast back-forward cache" on the Google search results page. It is related to the "instant prediction results" feature interacting with Firefox is some different way. (More in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970863?page=2#answer-485663])
Might be related. Not sure.
