Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
One more -- I frelled something in my Firefox profile, but I can't figure out how to create a new one. This is what the Mozilla help site says:
On Linux or Mac, start Firefox with the the -profilemanager switch, e.g. ./firefox -profilemanager (this assumes that you're in the firefox directory).
Can someone translate that into English for me?
That should be done from a Terminal window.
Anyone know the default firefox directory is on a Mac?
et: Duh. I don't have Firefox on this particular computer.
So, open a terminal window and go to (probably) /Applications/firefox. Then run the command.
eta:
Go to the directory by typing
cd Applications/firefox
(assuming I'm correct about the directory).
Question for those of you whose laptop batteries have been recalled: Did you fill out the form to get a new battery? If so, did you receive any kind of confirmation from Apple?
I just tried that search tool and it took me to some porn sites (oh my god let me wash my eyes out with soap) when looking for "Law & Order: CI."
Yikes! So...I guess there are some bugs.
FYI...re: Tivo To Go viewing problems.
I thought I had upgraded to Windows Media Player 10, but I was actually using WMP 8. Upgrading seemed to pretty much solve my problems.
I am sad. I went and bought a Pioneer DVDRW drive. But it doesn't work with the stupid customised bezel of my Vaio. I need one that has a door narrower than than the whole unit, and the button to open it bottom right (the Pioneer was one of two).
On the upside, I also got a Uniden 5.8GHz phone and a 200GB drive (and discovered I have one more HD bay than I thought).
But going back to Fry's -- ick.
Going back a bit -- iMuffs, despite the name, might actually finally convince me to get an iPod and a Bluetooth-compatible cellphone.
Also, I'd like to commend the general geekery concerning baking the tapes. My boss has the master tapes for a couple albums of guitar music that he recorded in the 70s that he's considering getting transferred to digital, and I didn't understand from his description what a delicate process it was, or why it would cost several thousand dollars to do it.
Documents To Go came with my Clie when I bought it, but only the Windows version. I still have it on the Clie, but without the desktop conduit bit, it's not very useful. Since it was bundled with the Clie installation software, I don't have a registration number. Anyone know of a way I can download the conduit for free? (Other than the 30-day trial version.)
