With XP, with three different user accounts, is it possible to download Firefox 4 to one user and retain Firefox 3 on another, for a learning period?
We are running XP, and have 3 different user accounts on one desktop. We are very excited by the Firefox4 features, but one user has much less comfort with changes, and doesn't want to lose browsing comfort in 3 before he has a chance to get used to using 4. May take a while....
Is there any way to download Firefox 4, perhaps into a new location. Or a new user account. And use this as a 'teaching tool' while still retaining 3?
Or can we upgrade to 4, redownload a version of 3, and import that user's previous bookmarks to the new download of 3, until we get him comfortable.
The answer is probably no. But if there is a creative way to do this, without another computer available, that would be great. If not, we upgrade and deal with the frustration and whining here.... 4 is too good to pass up.
Ideas?

When you install Firefox 4, choose the custom installation option and change the location where Firefox is installed. You will then have 2 versions of Firefox installed.
As you have different user accounts, each user will have their own Firefox profile (location where bookmarks, passwords, etc are stored). You should not switch between different versions of Firefox with the same user profile. For those that want to use Firefox 4, just make sure you use a Firefox shortcut that opens Firefox 4, likewise for the person who wants to stay with Firefox 3, just keep their original Firefox shortcut and it should open the old version.

While downloading an eBook from internet, I found a book in a folder containing around 123 files, which is equivalent to the number of pages of the book.
My interest is to bring them together in one file so that I can read it at a time. As the interface is not comfortable with html, I also like to convert it into another more suitable file format.Hello djensen1x,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
Hope to get your response.

My my... Had to subscribe to three different verizon accounts
Dear Verizon
I read a very helpful message on the forum (about the headset for the Samsung Gusto
not working and why) and I wanted to reply to say thank you (very polite, you know).
Anyway, in order to do so, I had to subscribe to three, thats right, three different verizon
accounts, each with its own agreement. I mean, wouldnt two or maybe two and a half
accounts be sufficient ?
Those three accounts, by the way, are michaelwahrmanprepay, michaelw, and the final
and working account, michaelw{word filter avoidance}
Puhleez, please, hire someone who knows what a computer is to fix your stuff. We want
you guys to be successful, one day !
Thank you,
michaelw{word filter avoidance}I already have a username of networkdood for a myVerizon login, but, I too had to create a different login for the forums and then they are linked....very inefficient.

I want to create a form with a manager completing one section and a staff member another. Neither should be able to edit the others. Can different sections be password protected by different passwords? I'm thinking there might be an "official use only" function.

I use windows Vista and I cannot open Firefox under one user account (I keep receiving the "firefox profile cannot be loaded . . ." error message) on my computer so I created another account. How can I transfer the bookmarks from the old account?
NOTE: you can skip this 1st step.
Step 1
I'm on Win7 so the paths might be slightly different... C:\Users\(YOUR PC ACCOUNT)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bnelgkol.default\bookmarkbackups ... Find the "bookmarks-[DATE].json" you want and copy it to the profile you want. You may want to change the date to a name you will recognize.
Step 2
Then on your browser "Bookmarks>Show All Bookmarks or Ctrl+Shift+B ". This will bring up the Bookmark Organizer, I think they call it Library now. From there click "Import & Back up>Restore" this will bring up a drop down with your back ups. If you followed step 1, find the json you added and select it. If you skipped step 1, from "Import & Back up>Restore" select "Choose File..." Then browser for the json you want to import. Which should be in a similar location as mentioned in step 1.
NOTE: "AppData" is a hidden folder, will have to set show hidden folders to be able to see it. -
I combined two user accounts on my MacBook Pro into a new, third, user account. The biggest account in terms of my I Tunes library, past purchases, etc., was preserved. The smaller deleted acount with about 40 I Tunes purchases needed to be "reloaded" into my "machine".
I went through the procress several times, meaning, "go to purchased", items not on this machine, etc, only to receive the same message of not having permission to download.
As well, I can't download new items form the ITuunes store.
Solutions anyone?My computer is the same I've had for a year now. I didn't have a problem until I closed the two user accounts and consolidated into an admin account.
In my ITunes account it says I have "two computers authorized to play content". There's a "delete these authorized computers" function. I'm not hitting that button until I have to.
The help desk says to delete my downloads folder in ITunes and then re-download my previous purchases (I can't find a downloads file to delete) .or reload from Cloud. I don't have cloud on my Mac.

I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.
Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software. -
There are 2 Users on my iMac. Each User has their own email account. Both account Mailboxes show up in each User's account. If I delete a Mailbox in one account, does it delete the same Mailbox in the other Account?
If you click the - sign in Mail preferences, it will delete that mail account. If you just delete the Mailbox, that will just delete the Mailbox.
Each user can put their own email account information in Mail when logged into their User Account.
If you don't want the other user's mail account to show up in your mail application, then make sure the other user's messages are available to them when they are logged into their account and delete the other user account from Mail in your User Account. The other user can do the same when logged into their user account. Any messages stored in one locally will have to be transfered to the other's user account if it's not saved in their user login.
In addition, instead of deleting the account at first, highlight the account and open the Advanced Tab and disable the account. That email account will dissappear from Mail. Once you decide that you don't want the account, you can delete it. If you need to get back to it to transfer messages, just re enable it. -
Sync with Outlook 07 on one computer and Palm Desktop on another?
Hi! Here goes...Can you set up a Palm Centro to sync with one computer with Outlook (07) and another with Palm Desktop? One computer is at home (Outlook) and the other is my work laptop which does not use Outlook at this point. I would like to sync regularly with both. Also....since my work might eventually switch to Outlook - can I change this syncing option at that point and sync with Outlook 03 on one computer and Outlook 07 on another?
Thanks for all your assitance!
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)Hello dcusuman and welcome to the Palm forums.
The answer to your questions is yes. You can sync your Centro to Microsoft Outlook 2007 on your home PC and then sync to Palm Desktop on your work issued computer. Later on, if your company switches to Microsoft Outlook 2003, you will be able to use a shortcut in your Palm program group to switch the Palm Desktop PIM conduits to the Outlook conduits.
I am going to assume that you are going to be using Palm Desktop 6.2 that comes bundled on the Centro software CD. If you do, there is no reason to download or install the Outlook 2007 conduit update from the Palm website. That update is intended for the older Palm Desktop 4.x and HotSync Manager 6.x.

please help... what is happening!!!!Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

Can I have three different iCloud accounts in my iBook? one for each user of the family? Thanks
I have a computer at home which is used by 5 family members. Each of us have a separate user in the MacBook. Can each of us have a different iCloud account to sincronize with each of our iPhones or once you download the iCloud for one of us, no other iCloud will be added to the same laptop?
Many thanks.Hi Valeriano009,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You are already on the right track with 5 individual user accounts on your computer. Please be sure to back up your main Apple ID account before making any changes below.
The article below will explain in more detail ... but it sounds like you will want to create a separate Apple ID for each member of your family to keep their contacts, calendars, Photo Stream etc. separate.
If your family has made a lot of iTunes Store purchases, you can stay signed in to your current Apple ID to have access to them. Or your family members can start fresh with their own iTunes Store purchases. Please review the Frequently Asked Questions section in this article:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
Each member of your family should log into their own user account on the computer, and then click on the link below to create their unique Apple ID.
Apple - My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
If each family member is currently using the old Apple ID for their iCloud account on their devices, they will need to follow these steps:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Before you delete the old iCloud account from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, turn off each of the features ( contacts, calendars, etc. ) and when prompted, choose to "Keep on My iPhone" if you wish to keep that information. If your family member doesn't need or want any of this information, then skip down to the selection below to delete the iCloud account completely.
Turn iCloud features off
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn off iCloud features.
When you turn off a feature, you’re asked whether you want your device to keep a copy of your information stored in iCloud for that feature.
Once you have saved the contacts, calendars, etc. that you want from the current iCloud account on your family member's iPhone, then you can delete the old iCloud account from their device.
Turn off iCloud completely
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
At this point, I would suggest turning off the device, and restarting it. Then, tap on Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Tap on Add Account. Tap iCloud. Now type in your family member's new Apple ID email address and password.
