  • Is there a limit to how many folders of bookmarks Firefox can import?

    I just installed Firefox 14 and tried to import my favorites to Internet Explorer 8. I have 236 files in Internet Explorer, but only 160 imported to Firefox. Is there a limit to how many folders of bookmarks Firefox can transfer? Just to be clear, I'm not talking to real Favorites, I 12 487, but rather the Bookmarks folders.

    No, but there are sometimes problems with the import of favorites of IE directly.

    If you have problems with importing IE bookmarks in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

    Like that you also preserve any sort you did in Internet Explorer with favorites.

    • Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML: file > import and export
    • Import the HTML file in Firefox: bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import HTML: from a file

    See "Import from another browser" and "import from file":

  • Is there a limit to how many photos I can keep in my iCloud and how long can I keep them stored there for?

    Is there a limit to how many photos I can download on my iCloud and is there a time limit on them once that I download them?

    It's a very difficult question to ask.  It's like someone who says fill this box with books - you can fill with 100 books or you can fill it with 10 books in bulk.  Of course, pictures/videos are limited to how much space you have.  I have over 7000 photos/videos and I am on the plan of 50 GB with about 20.8 left.  Time - zero limit.  Once it's in the cloud, and you continue to pay for your space, it will stay there indefinitely until you move elsewhere or delete.

  • is there a limit to how many photos you can share directly to facebook photos?

    I was using the photo sharing feature to share on Facebook and had not encountered any problems with the previous games in the picture, but now it is not the same Facebook list as an option. Anyone has any useful tips or clues as to why my macbook pro has disappeared suddenly shy?

    You can try to upload too many pictures on Facebook of the Photos app.

    Restart your Mac and then launch Photos and try to share a photo on Facebook.

    I'm sure that this is not a matter of Facebook because you can download 1,000 pictures on a Facebook album. Not through pictures of course, but 1 000 is their limit.

  • Is there a limit to how many pages Muse can support?

    I need to have more than 100 pages of art. The intention is to have a long page, a drop-down Pinterest page with links to the art. I don't know that muse is made for it, a lot of content.

    No, there is not a limit. Muse could begin to slow down a little with that many pages so incorporate images as much as possible. If you embed images, it will speed things up. But no, it is not a limit.

  • Is there a limit to how many buttons you can put on a single menu in Encore CS6?

    I am putting together a DVD and I have a chapter selection-24 buttons of chapter to this topic and a main menu button.  When I test the work of DVD buttons 1-18, 19-24 and the main menu button does not work.  I rechecked these buttons and they are set up exactly like the others, and I don't see why they wouldn't work.  I even took a chance and burned the project where it was just the preview player that was buggy, but this does not work in a DVD player.

    Any thoughts on what could be the problem here?

    There are limits of button in the DVD specification (not just yet).

    DVD, menu 4:3 = 36 buttons

    DVD, 16:9 menu = 18 buttons

  • I reformatted my computer with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9 that my MSN games are not installed.

    I reformatted my computer with windows 7 and internet explorer 9 is not my games .it installed msn, which I can do on this problem

    MSN games are not part of Windows 7 so when you reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 you have lost the. Depending on the type of game you will need to reinstall each game - this may mean to download again MSN. If they are browser based games simply to go to the MSN Web page for the game in the usual way.

    If instead of MSN games, you actually mean that games built into Windows 7 as Chess Titans, Spider Solitaire & FreeCell, then you can just turn them on by using the following method:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. find the entry called games & check the box next to it.

    5. click on OK.

    6 reset.

    If the games box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

  • Is it possible to plug a USB to my new iPad Pro, to transfer PDF files and some Jpeg files from the USB key with an adapter of lightning? If there is NO adapter, how can I get these files on the USB key and my iPad pro?

    Is it possible to plug a USB to my new iPad Pro, to transfer PDF files and some Jpeg files from the USB key with an adapter of lightning? If there is NO adapter, how can I get these files on the USB key and my iPad pro? I need these PDF files transferred my I touch pro. Any suggestions?  Please

    Thank you

    The iPad does not support USB keys. There are some wireless flash drives that can be used, but not the classical records. I suggest you transfer files to a computer and their synchronization then back to the iPad via iTunes.

  • Is there a limit to how much s AE you can conect?

    Is there a limit to how much Airrport Extreme you can conect?

    In a roaming configuration, the network would have a total of about 255 connections available, so you should have to count the number of users and their devices that will connect and include each AirPort Extreme as a device as well.

    In the real world, 15-20 Airport extreme is not too difficult to manage, although you might have a lot more in theory.

    How did you think for a network?

    And... a cautionary note about the Apple Support document which you are referring in your message.  Most of the "how to" info in the document refers to the utility AirPort 5.x versions that are now almost 4 years late, so the installation info with no resemblance to the settings in latest 6.x version of AirPort Utility, which you would use with El Capitan (10.11.4) in your profile.
