I am constantly encountering problems with Mac Mail. I never have a problem with iPad's Mail program. I wish Apple would move some of the programmers from iOS to macOS.

Thank you very much for your help. Checking around, it appears that I do have all my bookmarks back. That was the important thing. Some, perhaps all, settings are lost, and the format of the Firefox window seems to have regressed to some months? years? ago. It has the old separate Search...

That seems to have worked.

I don't know what I did, just poking around, but I suddenly find myself with TWO Firefox icons in the Dock, and one of them actually works! The problem with the new Firefox copy is that it thinks it is a new installation and offers to import bookmarks, search engine, etc, from Google or Chrome...

Actually, I couldn't do that because I have gone to Mozilla several times over the last few days and tried to download a current copy of Firefox and it won't download. Nothing happens when I click on the button. I tested to see if this is a Net problem and had no trouble downloading a game...

Correcting typos and omissions: "iPad and iPhone", and "If I were to reinstall Firefox to the iMac, would it find..."

I mean that the icon in the Dock moves right and then bounces back, followed by nothing happens. Alternatively, clicking on the Firefox entry in a list causes a reaction as if the icon had exploded. And again, nothing else happens. Holding Cmd-o same thing. Maybe all I really want is...

After wipe of drive and reinstallation of Ventura by the Apple Store, and migration from Time Machine, Firefox won't launch. It's there, but it won't open. Click the icon and the icon moves as if it were going to launch, but the app doesn't open. If I were to reinstall Firefox, would it find and...

Thanks for the replies.

I have over 30 DVDs of home movies that I would like to convert to files that can be played on Mac and iPad. At this time I have all of them on physical disks and I have a disk player attached to the Mac. The videos are all also on the Mac in a variety of file formats: .img, cdr, .iso, and...

Never Mind. I went back to Apple on-line support, was elevated to a second level tech, and he recovered my data. It was complicated. I couldn't begin to retrace the steps we went through.

I have many -- hundreds -- of emails sorted into dozens of Mailboxes in Mail.app, These are things like conversations with others about genealogy research, email receipts, and so forth. Don't ask me how this happened because I don't know. First, somehow the Trash files disappeared from the...

Thanks for the reply. It's not a surprise that it can't be done. I'll have to continue to use sneakernet and abandon hope of transferring all the metadata.

Thank you for the response, but I think you didn't notice that the message you are responding to was posted in December of 2008.

That's one album at a time, isn't it? What I would like to do is share the entire library of over 12,000 photos. Can that be done? And having done it, could her Desktop and Screen Saver have access to the that Photos library? If possible, I would also like to share the structure now shared...
