  • How can I get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer?

    How to get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer.

    You can place a shortcut to the Firefox program in the Startup folder in "Start > Programs" by dragging the Firefox shortcut from the desktop or by dragging the Firefox entry in "Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox" to that folder (or use Copy/Paste to achieve this).

  • Every day, I have to re-set all of my app tabs. How can I set them to open each time I turn my computer back on?

    I never see the app tabs on my tool bar after I close the thing down for the night. Is that possible to keep them there??

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.

    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

  • HT4623 My ipad will not power down anymore.  Each time I try to power down it shuts down, then powers up straight away.  I have checked my settings and cannot find anything to  help me.

    MY ipad will not power down anymore.  Each time I try to power down it shuts down then powers up again.

    See if this fixes it. Reboot and let the iPad start up, then try to power down.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I was recently searching in my iPhone 3GS for a phone number, and the search hits revealed text messages that I have long ago deleted and would rather not have in my iPhone. How do I delete these once and for all?

    It was the strangest thing. You would think that once you delete a message off your phone it is gone.
    But in the "search iPhone" feature several key numbers like an area code reveal phone numbers of people
    who aren't in my contact list, specifically the first few words of text messages that I deleted long ago.
    I would like to eliminate these once and for all.
    Will "Erase Content and settings" do this for good? Once I restore the phone will they come back?
    Thanks.

  • I have HDMI connection to the receiver and on to the TV - but no audio from my new Apple TV.  I have checked all connections and the video is xlnt.  Have also toggled thru every possible Dolby/Audio combination in settings.  Help!  Any suggestions?

    I have an HDMI connection to the receiver and on to the TV - but there is non audio from my Apple TV.  Not for movies, music, YouTube etc.   I have checked all of the connections and the video is xlnt.  Have also toggled thru all possible Dolby/Audio combinations in settings.  Help!  Any suggestions?

    Hello again Parker -
    The basic setup is Digital Cable Box, DVD Player, Denon Receiver/Amp and TV Monitor.  To that I added the Apple TV.  The Receiver only has two HDMI IN slots (one for cable and one for the DVD) and one out to the Monitor. 
    [I bought a switcher to toggle the DVD and the AppleTV back and forth but just disconnected the DVD to simplify when I ran in to trouble.]
    So now I have:
         HDMI from the Cable Box to the Receiver
         HDMI from the Apple TV to the Receiver (in the old DVD slot which always worked well)
         HDMI from the Receiver to the Monitor
         RCA's from the Receiver to the Subwoofer and the other speakers
    In addition I have some backup connections:
         S-Video, Optical Audio and L/R RCA's from the Cable Box to the Receiver
         S-Video from the Receiver to the Monitor
    Wait - JUST FOUND IT! 
    By going thru the excercise to track all of the connections per your suggestion, I found an anomaly when I switched Receiver sockets for the HDMI links.  The video moved but the audio didn't.  Turns out the monitor was using the optical audio feed from the receiver.  So I disconnected the optical audio and the monitor automatically switched to the HDMI audio feed!   Looked promising...
    So I first connected an optical audio feed from the ATV to the receiver - Audio!  Then I pulled it, but the audio didn't switch to the HDMI feed.  It stopped.  Would be OK if all I was going to use is the ATV, but I need the DVD player too and I can't use a switcher to toggle between them if I have to unplug the optical audio each time.
    This is becoming a career!  Any suggestions?

  • Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded." I do have an ID account and my software has been updated.

       Hello there, I'm new to the Apple world, and I'm still learning my way around.
    Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded."
    It doesn't ask me for payment or anything. When I click on download, about 10 seconds later, that message pops up and nothing is downloaded onto my laptop. I can download other stuff onto my laptop for e.g. Microsoft Word and other various programs such as Google Chrome from the internet. However, I just cannot download from App Store. Any suggestions on how I can download apps?

    There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
    I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
    Anyways, thanks for your suggestion. 

  • I bought my 20" iMac in Nov of 2007 and when I try to purchase the upgrade for lion I'm told I need 2GB of memory and I only have 1GB.  How can I get more?  I am currently running snow leopard

    Trying to upgrade to Lion on my 20" iMac that I bought in Nov. 2007.  Currently I'm running on MAC OS X version 10.6.8.  When I tried to buy the upgrade I got a response that Lion requires 2 GB of memory and I only have 1 GB.  How can I get more memory and will my computer be compatible with Lion when I do get more memory?

    Yes you can install more RAM. Up to 6 GBs. Two - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. For the maximum use one 4 GB and one 2 GB. Otherwise install a pair of 2 GB modules for a total of 4 GBs.
    You can purchase suitable RAM at DataMem or OWC. OWC also has video tutorials on installation.

  • There is a rainbow line in the middle of my screen, I have tried recalibrating and messing with the resolution. Nothing is helping. Plus, each time I close my computer, the line gets bigger the next time I open it. What is this?

  • Eternally "searching for new drivers"...

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded to Leopard and can't seem to print from my CX4200. I went to Print & Fax, clicked the "+" to add a printer, and I can see my EPSON Stylus CX4200 (USB) in the printer list. I click on it, and the "searching for new drivers" begins with the spinning gear. The system gets hung up here, and I cannot add the printer. The gear just keeps on spinning. The "Print Using" pulldown menu and the "Add" button are also both grayed out, so I can't do anything once this happens.
    I tried as many troubleshooting steps as I could find, including the software Print Therapy, and still no luck. I'm avoiding a Leopard reinstall (until the last resort) because I had some other problems with the system updgrade already.
    Any ideas?

    I'd visit Epson's Web site and download a driver for your printer. Run the driver installer in "uninstall' mode first, then in "install" mode. Epson driver installers don't seem to do a good job of cleaning up prior material without the "uninstall" step.

  • Stuck on "searching for new drivers"

    I've connected a Dymo LabelWriter 450 to the USB port on my Mac (after installing the Dymo software and restarting).
    When I go into Add Printer and select the Dymo driver, I get a message saying "searching for new drivers" and a spinning beachball - and it never returns.
    I searched the forum and there was a previous thread on the "searching for new drivers"problem that was closed without any resolution.

    It would be really helpful if someone came up with a solution to this problem. I get this hang on 'searching for new drivers' with two different HP printers- both recognised by Bonjour but it seems impossible to add them. I only managed to get one of them working (and HP 5850) by installing an opensource HP driver (HPIJS 2.7.10 for Mac) designed originally for Linux users. To get this to work I first had to install foomatic and ghostsript for Mac OS X. See http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
    The second printer is an HP 2570 and this is still causing problems.

  • Mail opens up each time I turn on my computer.  How do I stop this?

    I have been using my mail icon to open my mail account through my local cable provider.
    I was told today I should no longer do this but to access my mail account through the web.  mail.bex.net
    This worked out fine.
    Problem.  I cannot send out an e-mail.  The system will not access my mail directory to send out an e-mail.
    Each time I turn on my computer my mail account opens automatically from the mail icon under the for system.
    Hcw can I turn off my mail icon turning on each time?  I think this will allow me to turn on the mail directory when I use the web.
    Thank you.

    Another thing to check, when you shut down/restart, uncheck the box "reopen windows when logging back in" on the box that pops up.

  • In the new OS Yosemite, why is there a loading bar each time i turn on my mac?

    I got the OS Yosemite 2 days ago, and i noticed something new. Each time i turn on my mac, there is a loading bar at the bottom of the screen after i enter my password. It takes like 20 seconds to load, but it can be quite annoying. Anyone else have this problem? ( i have the macbook pro 15 inch, mid 2014 )

    Open Security preferences and be sure the option requiring a password is unchecked. Or open Accounts preferences, click lock icon and authenticate, click on Login Options button and configure your account for Auto-login.
