IMHO, reference to MacOS as having a "pantheon"; is a bit cryptic, too, and I have no idea what "gemuns" are. In any event, using Safari v6.0.5 I had no problem seeing the graph at the link provided, and it looked fine to me, although I had no idea what it represented. Chas, did you try Safari?

I Googled "lowell digisonde" (taken from the graph header) and, while it will not tell you anything about Chas's problem, it will tell you something about digisonde, etc.

And Chas, to learn more about restoring files, folders, etc. from Time Machine I suggest watching the Apple video at this link:

http://support.apple.com/kb/VI29

At just about the 1:00 minute point in the video the subject of finding and restoring files is covered.

Firefox v22.0 works fine with my MBP on 10.7.5, so I think it is either the sites you are visiting something else on your Mac, or the fact that you are two generations behind on your Mac, that appears to have a 3rd party mother board.

The MacPro 1,1, as far as I can see, had a maximum speed of 2.33 GHz. The MacPro 2.66 GHZ seem to have come with either "Penryn" or "Arrandale&quot; chips, no the "Xeon". You seem to have a modified Mac Pro.

No references to my findings, and Levitus is still around?

This appears to be your first post to the list with this e-ddress, at least since mid 2011. So after causiously checking out the link yo ugave for the URL, the image of the graph opened just fine.

I have not clue as to what "DIDBase iosonde" is. And the image you gave the URL to seems complete, but make no sense to me.

Gemuns;

All in all, my FF works pretty well with SnowLpd but not as well as v20 or
earlier. Mozilla says that all versions of the MAC OS pantheon will work
with v22 but I am having problems getting YAHOO's discussion list (home page)
photos to fill out. ie, I am getting about the first 2 to 5 or so lines of
photo pixels but it varies. another example is the graph on DIDBase iosonde
where I only get 2 lines max. see http://tinyurl.com/mpdkjlg along with the
header.

I am trying to determine what is the commonality but all of my 20 or so
discussion lists will do this (yahoogroups) and now I am getting NO photos on
occasion. However, the DIDBase has nothing to do with yahoogroups.

Generally speaking though, the operation of v22 is far from the smooth, quick
access, etc of v. 17, 19 and 20. v21 was not any great shakes and I thought
it was something of a bugfix for 20 as was/is 22.

Is anyone else having this sort of problem?

The real question is how to RESTORE all the cache, etc files which were part
of these later FF versions as well as for other software. The Time Machine
is backing up onto an external 3TB HDD but I cannot understand HOW to work
the RESTORE (partial). That is a wonderful software program but it is not
even slightly, user friendly to this 70 yr old cancer patient with logical
thought progression caused by taking morphine daily.

I wish Bob LeVitus had written a book on just this one aspect of Snow Leopard
as I really can understand most of his writing.

So, two questions and I would greatly appreciate biblio sources for answers
or explanations on the second and comments on FF v22 v.v. OS/X 10.6.8 and
Yahoo photos.

thanks very much

I purchased this MAC Pro from Frys o/a Oct 2005 and the only modification I
have made to it is to 1. add RAM 2. add HDD. If it was modified, it might
have been done by Apple to use up some of their PRE-Intel machines. I really
believe that I have a very early production model of this MAC Pro.

Going to Hardware Overview, I have pasted the copied data below.

Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version (system): 1.7f10
Serial Number (system): YM63421VUQ2
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0017F201E34A

As you can tell above, it states that the chipset is Xeon and nothing else.
I am locked at v.10.6.8 of OS/X and the browser I use habitually is FireFox
(FF). I have always done updates as Mozilla produced them but started having
problem with v.19 but I went ahead and updated to v20 which seemed to improve
the bugs in 19. I then updated to 21 and immediately had problems which only
worsened when I moved on to v.22

At this point, I want to RESTORE back to about Jan 19? of this year - getting
rid of any aspects of any Mozilla versions after 20.

I do not want to mess with any files or data - especially ThunderBird (TB) v
17.0.7 . As stated, I have learned that I can NOT upgrade certain software
such as Adobe Acrobat which has been released since about Jan 2013. I really
resent the fact that I have to stop using or upgrading software on this Pro
because OS/X 10.7 is beyond my boundary. I find it hard to believe that this
$2500 machine is now obsolete unless I plan to never upgrade its OS and any
software based upon these later versions of its OS/X software. So, I am
saving my dollars (FIXED INCOME!) so that I can buy the new MAC Pro when it
comes out.

In the meantime, I have turned off AUTO UPDATE toggles to prevent (My
terminology : 2d version INTEL based OS and addons, etc. That is, anything
requiring latter day upon this latter Class of OS.

I just cannot believe that no provision for upgrading the mobo or other
hardware has been planned. Truly Planned obolescence !

thanks to the one or two who have offered suggestions on the partial Restore
problem for Time Machine. I agree that I think that Mozilla v.21/22 are
simply not proper to the Initial set of OS/X software but instead, are
designed to support the Second set of OS.

I really have no problem with this obsolescence in that I went thru all of
that with DOS 3.0, 3.1, etc and on into the GUI M$ changes of WFWG, etc and
so on. Since the 1980s, it has been quite a trip with desk computers after
moving off main frames with its Cobol, Fortran, etc.

enough

*All* Mac Pros have used Xeon CPUs. The original (1,1) used the Woodcrest
variant.

yes we did a clean install from the disk of system before this problem appeared. software update to system. skype was trashed along with prefs and reinstalled. didn't fix the problem.

no other updates. odd because we know the camera works, just not with skype.

thanks for your effort
