Last Magic Mouse 2 is not compatible with the Mavericks 10.95 - and that stinks

It is not so much a question as an expression of stunned disappointment.  My old mouse Magic went kablooey, and so I got a new.  Unfortunately when I the paired with my MacPro 2012, running the Mavericks 10.95 (sorry Apple, you have not matched the Mavericks speed and performance with Yosemite and El Capitan) I discovered that features the touch like scrolling and swiping has not worked.

After an hour to read the little booklet that comes with the mouse, zap the PRAM, reset the SMC and usually ask myself? *  I watched the Magic Mouse box and found the answer in 3 grey dots on white type: requires OS 10,11 or higher.  All right.  Mea culpa, caveat emptor, blah blah.  I should have read through the entire page of the Magic Mouse on the Apple Store Web site, but I already have the product so don't figure there were many new take into account.

However, it seems strange to me that a completely necessary peripherals does not work with a BONE from a few years ago.

There are loyal customers (30 years of computer science and I have never used or owned a PC) who use your products as professional (I'm a sales manager of creation) and, for reasons that go beyond taste, prefer your earlier and faster OS.  Apple wants to move the herd along for many understandable reasons.  I do advertising.  I get it.  Offers new features and the "improvements" that Miss on users who refuse to put up-to-date is perfectly logical.  But prevents them from having a functional Apple mouse goes too far.  It will encourage strong armament and it stinks.

In light of Apple's strategy, it seems pretty ironic that the same company that once derided the PC world as thinkers authoritarian group straight out of Orwell is curve at this level to get its users to conform to his version of the future.  What the * happened to "Think Different"?

Good question, I guess, and I can only opine; as you know, we are here just volunteers.

The question is... when a company changes its products.   As I see it, different operating systems have developed over the years at a huge pace, such that cannot not could be foreseen four years ago.   So the Magic Mouse 1 was fine for the moment but did not have the ability to adapt to meet the current needs.     So what does Apple?   It must be a new mouse that will respond to current needs and anticipate the needs for some time in the future.

You can still buy the old MM1, although you might have to go hunting.   And of course, you can take the old one back if it was purchased less than 14 days ago in most countries and 28 days ago in the United Kingdom and most European countries, I believe.

I hope you get over your troubles.

  • Firefox worked, today has not started with the error the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are using.

    Computer is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Firefox has work fine for over a year on this computer. Nothing has been changed or updated updated except Windows update indicates that it installed updates on August 19. I had computer week before because only out of town, back entrance and began August 18, but Firefox has worked that day. Does not use FF again until today. Today August 22, firefox does not start, shortcut icon changed program not there. Exe in the folder when you click Poster error message says the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows, I am running. Exe of Firefox shows created on 20 August. I suspect the update, Windows or FF but lean towards windows, which was spent, who broke things. I noticed that IE 10 updates, updates of .NET framework and the malicious software removal tool have been installed. I tried to restart the computer, has not set. Tried to run as administrator, did not work. I don't want to uninstall FF, at least have to because of all the things I have here, bookmarks, last past passwords, etc..

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files (not the profile folder, where the bookmarks are stored) and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • I'm told my iPod classic is not compatible with the latest version of iTunes and I need to buy a new iPod

    I have an iPod classic, 160GB, 2009 (I think that I bought in 2011, but they say it's a 2009 version).  I took good care of her, and it worked wonderfully for me.  Recently, with the latest updates of my OS, iTunes, etc. on my MacBook, I got the iPod synchronization problems.  This last time I tried, the iPod has not been recognized by iTunes, or it would be recognized and switch between connected and synchronization, but never go further.  Finally, if I left it long enough that, it would eventually be sync, but then he would go back and forth between sync synchronization, connected and finishing.  After leaving he did that for a while, he would finally come with an error message saying that the iPod could not be synchronized.  Then my iPod was erased at all to this subject (everything is always on my iTunes at least library).  I tried to restore my iPod, which she did, and then synchronize everything again.  He went through the process of synchronization, only to say in the end could not be synchronized.  Sometimes my iPod not even be recognized by iTunes.

    So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.  Both were up to date, so I think I 2.0.4 on my iPod and 12.3.2.35 on my iTunes.  Apple told me that I can't go back to an earlier version of the iPod software because I have no iPod backups on my iTunes.  Therefore they told me the only solution is to spend $ 400 on a new iPod, which I can't afford to do it, nor have you I feel it's a reasonable solution, since my iPod is perfectly good and I was very careful care of her.

    Is there anything that can be done to make the two compatible?  Can I download an older version of iTunes?  I'll be able to get my most recent iTunes library on the older iTunes?  Should not continue making it compatible, the iPod classic and iTunes since so many people use iPod classic, and they are the only thing like him around?

    I looked in the other forums on the topic, but nothing seems to talk about this compatibility problem and provide a solution.  Someone at - it ideas?  Can you manually manage your music on your iPod, even if the two are not "compatible"?

    Thank you!

    So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.

    Seriously...?  My 'classic' 3rd gen iPod in 2003 still works fine with the latest version of iTunes and the latest OS X.  Even the original iPod should still work (assuming the iPod itself still works).  Your iPod classic 2009 is certainly consistent.  That support the needs of the person coming back through training...

    When you connect it now, it seems in iTunes?  Are you able to select in iTunes, go to the settings screen, where you see the iPod photo and name in the upper left corner of the window and a box below that?

  • Old favorites are not compatible with the version 20 + Firefox

    General information:
    I use the old client version 3.6 given that an old utility addon author stopped update and will not work with the new revisions. Despite disabling the update featured on: config and in preferences, the browser refreshes still finished (initially I was using 3.4 and would prefer to use that, but no matter how I try I can is no longer cancel 3.6 to 3.4 even if I reinstall using an Installer 3.4). Accordingly, I had the habit of keeping a copy of my directory of firefox where it updates again without asking, she has. This could help the guy out to meet countless people who have lost their favorites because of the upgrade released this year and I hope that someone to investigate and release a patch/utility to fix the problem.

    Question:
    I checked that the most recent customer since at least version 20 and leave, are not compatible with the old bookmark JSON files. Those who have been upgraded to the latest revision not only lose their favorites, but cannot restore them either, as Firefox only returns the error message: "unable to process the Backup File.

    I confirmed that the files themselves are perfectly intact with no sign of corruption and are as expected. Restore ok old revisions of browser (in my case specifically 3.6), they will not restore the most recent customer reviews. This isn't a fault with bookmark backups, but with new clients (I guess they changed the way they store information in the JSONs at some point. I note in the code for the JSONs GUID has never been used in old revisions, but it is in the most recent revision. Maybe it's causing an incompatibility problem? You just need to adjust the client so that it looks for the GUID and if none can be found to ignore it rather than decide that the file is corrupted.

    Old JSON Code snippet: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":1306666129870000,"lastModified":1306670152435000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"placesRoot","children":[{"title":"Bookmarks Menu","id":2,"parent":1,"dateAdded":1306666129870000,"lastModified":1381254048121000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"bookmarksMenuFolder","children":[{"title":"Recently Bookmarked","id":6,"parent":2,"annos":[{"name":"Places/SmartBookmark","flags":0,"expires":4,"mimeType":null,"type":3,"value":"RecentlyBookmarked"}],"type":"text/x-moz-place","uri":"place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&sort=12&excludeQueries=1&excludeItemIfParentHasAnnotation=livemark%2FfeedURI& maxResults = 10 & queryType = 1 "}, {'index': 1,"title":"Recent Tags", 'id': 7, 'parent': 2,"annos": [{'name':" places/SmartBookmark', 'flags': 0, 'expires': 4, 'mimeType': null, 'type': 3, 'value': 'RecentTags'}], 'type': ' text/x-moz-place', 'uri' ":" place: sort = 14 & type = 6 & maxResults = 10 & queryType = 1 ""}, {'index': 2, 'title': id '',' ': 8, 'parent': 2, 'dateAdded': 1294868015246000, 'lastModified': 1294868015246000, 'type': "text/x-moz-place-separator"}

    Solution?
    In my case, I had a copy backup of the old directory for review. To restore I opened the copy and export bookmarks as an HTML, that I restored in the most recent client. If you don't have a copy of the former client, the best thing would be to try and re-install an older revision of the customer and either make a copy of the program folder and use another copy of that you can use the new and old customers and you worry about the loss of an older revision, since you'll always have 2 copies of the former client (the one you use the one that you use to restore in the case of at level). Or export bookmarks to an HTML element, and then upgrade the client to the newest and import the HTML instead of JSON files.

    Please review and create a more simple solution to a problem of stupid incompatibility. ^_^

    There are a number of operations in the file places.sqlite which are obsolete.
    For example,.

    setItemGUID (aItemId, aGUID) obsolete since Gecko 14.0 - returns a unique global identifier for the element. This is mainly for use by extensions that synchronize data between different profiles bookmark.



    Former id snippit:
    "title": "','id': 1,"dateAdded": 1306666129870000,"
    New snippit
    {"title": "","guid": "5rkFafJ6AnRZ",""id ": 1, 'index': 0, 'dateAdded': 1396387525168000"}

    There are other identifier here has changed, I think in version 14
    «Note: the importHTMLFromFileToFolder() method has been removed in Gecko 14.0 (14.0 Firefox / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).»

    But more likely the former is Netscape format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra.../aa753582%28VS.85%29.aspx

    I tried this however: I installed the old version (3.5) and updated to the current version. All my favorites were there. I had to check the updates and could not skip certain steps of 3.5 to 3.6 for example. He then went from 3.6 to 12, then with todays update went straight to 30. They're all here. However nothing is perfect, backup is recommended as well.

    Back to your question, makes it easier for backward compatibility, my hypothesis is that they changed with the updates and ignored some versions. Saved profiles or places.sqlite files may be missing this change because the format changes in the update?

    My suggestion would be filing a bug at this request, providing a few cases where this would be necessary. Currently only the current version of Firefox is supported, which can leave us to the work around that you are currently using.

    Reference documentation for the developer of the places :

  • I have Webroot Security and Firefox is not compatible with the malicious URL part of the program? How can I protect myself?

    When I downloaded Firefox and checked my extensions, I've been informed that Firefox is not compatible with the prevention of malware from my Webroot security package. I use it successfully with Windows and just renewed for another year. What do you do to protect myself? I'm not a computer expert, so if you can answer in plain language that would be appreciated. In addition, we stream video much and I noticed that DivX is also not compatible. What should I do about it? Thank you.

    Firefox has had its own fake Web / since 2008 malware protection.

    http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/phishing-protection/

    Firefox Add-ons developers are responsible for these add-ons up to date as new versions of Firefox are available. Check with Webroot & DivX on updates for their Firefox extensions.

    That said, the modules that are hosted on the official website of the AddonsMozilla.Org are tested and 'hit' by compatibility automatically, if these modules are considered to be compatible with a new version of Firefox that is about to be released. For modules that are not "compatible", the developer of the add-on Gets an email telling them basically what needs to be fixed. AMO extensions hosted are automatically updated as required by Firefox. The 'check' available updates each time is that Firefox is open.

    For modules that are not hosted on AMO, there is a 'updateURL' function that allows to have Firefox check for an update across the internet, the a particular extension developer said. Unfortunately, too many developers take advantage of this feature and needlessly let their users to search an update themselves. who then need to manually install the hotfix or update version.

    It's like a bunch of clowns of circus without master ring to 'bring in the clowns' at the right time in the show.
