My first Apple, an iMac, should be arriving in the mail any day now. In anticipation I'm wondering, among many other things, how you can transfer all the tabs that you have in Firefox from a Windows XP PC to Firefox in Snow Leopard?

ya firefox keeps hanging whenever i open more than 15 tabs.
its not like this has happened once, it has happened 11 times in the past 3 days. i really need to be able to open more than 15 tabs.
while browsing using firefox or chrome I get 20 to 30 tabs opening for no reason. Even when I mouse over a link on a webpage the link automatically opens in a tab.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently made the switch to Mac from PC - after over 12 years of exclusively, intensively using PC. Already I'm loving my MBP, and I've been trying to pick up as many nifty shortcuts as I can.
I couldn't figure out this one: Is there a way to close an individual Firefox tab by clicking it in conjuction with pressing a key? This way, I won't have to go straight to the "x" every single time when using the mouse. Cmd+W works, but only on immediate screen. I used to simply middle click to close a tab, but my new mouse's wheel button sucks!
One of my most common navigation methods in Firefox is apple+# to a specified tab - you know, when you've got five tabs, hold down apple, and hit 1,2,3,4 or 5 to go to the associated tab. I need that functionality in Safari.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFirefox is just chewing up memory on my new i7...only with 4 tabs open (forums and gmail). Then there is the launchd tearing up about 375 constantly. Window server is hovering around 175-200 as well.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have really tried to like the new Safari, but I can't seem to generate 'affection' for the tabs. One thing especially is irritating to me. Being over the address bar is bad enough, but when there's a bunch of tabs, finding a spot to 'grab' the window to move it is difficult.
Is there a way to move the tabs back below the address window like the older Safari? I hope this hasn't been asked and answered before. I didn't see it.
my safari upon opening shows a tab for the current window. i thought tabs only appeared when you have 2 or more concurrent windows open at the same time.
is there a way to hide the tab when you only have 1 window open?
for example: [URL]

I am planning on using bootcamp to do a partition with windows xp.
I am only really planning on using my windows side for games such as Guild Wars or Runes of Magic.
I am not really sure how many games ill have on this side. As of now i am only planning on installing one game.
So, how many GB should i put to my windows side?
Is this possible?
The only copy of windows XP i have is pre SP2. I tried to install this last night via boot camp, but after spending hours installing and loading the drivers from the mac disc, not all were installed. Then I was hardwired to my router to run windows update to get SP2/SP3 I could not for the life of me get the 3 drivers to install.
Ethernet controller, although the ethernet port worked. Bluetooth driver, cannot find the driver on the Mac disc VGA driver, cannot find the driver on the Mac disc
I also don't seem to have a wireless connection or even an option to use my wifi card on my macbook with windows.
The macbook is a 2010 unibody, white.
Yesterday I had no problem using IE within Parallels. Now, I can't access the Net no matter what I do. IE isn't working, I can't sync Outlook and some other programs are giving me Time Out errors because they can't connect. To correct, I've tried changing from NAT to Bridge and Host, no dice. I've tried restarting the Windows OS. I've tried closing and reopening the VM. I've tried turning off an on the Airport connection within MacOS. As a side note, I have no problems accessing the web on the Mac side.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently bought an iMac, and have just successfully installed the trial version of Parallels5. I have my Windows XP product key from the Dell PC on which WinXP was installed circa 5-6 years ago. It seems to work fine, as the little Windows XP Virtual Machine box shows up all right. No mention of the key being invalid or out of date. However, when I try to activate WinXP I continually get the message that no operating system has been installed. Even though I went through the steps in the instruction document, both by inserting the XP Service Pack 3 DVD or trying the networking option.
Several attempts to get XP running have failed. Wondering whether I should uninstall P5 (and whatever WinXP data might be lurking) and reinstall everything (including another attempt at WinXP), or is it a bitter fact that I'd need a new copy of WinXP in order to work with Parallels5 on my iMac? (I mainly want to be able to work with Band-in-a-Box, which I bought last year for use on my PC.)
Succesfully got my windows Xp on the MBA - working well just I cant find how to make adjustments to the touchad settings.

i installed my winxp license in bootcamp then i valited. but whenever i open it in vm ware then i have to validate again because it says hardware have been changed, then if i want to boot into bootcamp to play some game like burnout paradise it says i have to validate again, so here i am, installed a cracked windows xp so i doesn't have to valited. still not doing anything ilegal since i have a legal license. is there any solution for using the license key avoiding that little problem?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed the HP driver on my Mac by temporarily connecting it via USB port. No problem. The printer is normally attached to an XP machine. Mac can see the printer on the Windows Network, but the HP driver install disk does not. I can't seem to locate the P1006 on the Mac hard disk, and it does not show up on the driver list in printer setup.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm purchasing one of those handy eSATA external docking stations so I can access data on old Windows drives. I'm concerned about not corrupting data from the drives and wonder if there is a risk of OSX writing to them. Do I need to mount the drive manually from the terminal command line to insure they mount as read-only or is it safe just to browse the drive?
I guess I need to learn about imaging alternative OS drives now that I am using a Mac all the time. I've seen the "dd" format laid out elsewhere and never bothered to read up on how it is used. I would guess this will create an image, similiar to an ISO on my Mac desktop.
So I backed up my Opera Bookmarks rigorously in case the Mac died. Well it died. And since I'm using a WinXP machine for the time being I'd like to bring those bookmarks over to the PC. The problem is they are in a .hqx format and I don't know how to extrat it. I tried WinRAR and 7zip without success. Of course I realize now I should have saved them as a HTML file... Then I think I could have brought them over with no issues. Please confirm if possible. And if you have any ideas (both my Macs are dead for the time being) on the bookmark thing, please let me know. All the other files are ok - text files have some glitches but most are fine. The ones with glitches have to be resaved in RTF format. If course the least important (.avi) play perfectly!
View 6 Replies View RelatedBackground: On several occasions, now, I've installed and reinstalled (completely cleaned off) Safari on my (1) Toshiba A505-S6017 (laptop - 8GB RAM) -- running Windows 7-64 and (2) on my Gateway desktop (7GB paging file) -- running Windows XP I've rebooted after every reinstall. From what I hear, it's a wonderful addition to my browser suite -- all my other browsers continue to work fine: Chrome, Firefox, Opera.
A. PROBLEM: Each time I try to use this reputable program (version 5.2 (7534.52.7), I encountered the following problem: Program (1) loads instantly, (2) presents the browser space, (3) agrees to open new tabs, (4) but when I try to direct it to ANY URL at all, the hour-glass appears, but the wait is fruitness. I cannot reach any site at all. I've tried to access the program, both as "administrator" and regular "user." No joy. All I ever get showing is the interesting interface (and an hour-glass on an URL-call) and nothing else.
B. ALSO: I have also noticed something I'm not sure is normal or not: ln my file-directory, I only see the program icon for Safari, but NO file directory or ancillary files -- is this normal?
Does anyone have any help to offer an intensely motivated future user? P.S. If I eventually get through this problem on my own, I'll return here and tell what I did -- but I'm starting to doubt my abilities .

Safari, Windows

I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro (2008 with gray keypad) which had snow leopard and was running winxp with bootcamp to mavericks and now when I try to start my winxp it begins to start but then I get the "do you want to start in safe mode" screen and when I ask to start in any of the modes winxp will begin to start with the WinXp logo showing and the blue bar moving across the the screen and then there is brief (microseconds) flash of the "Blue screen" after which the computer restarts. What can I do to get my WinXp working again?
