Found almost all of my music--all of the CD music--grayed out this morning. Why is that, and how do I stop this from happening? Second day in a row!

Yesterday, I wrestled with the iPhone for three hours, trying get my CD library to RE-APPEAR on my iPhone. I finally thought I had--I removed a "bad" artist, and everything was fine.
Until this morning, when I tried to go for a run and, again, found MY ENTIRE CD LIBRARY--EVERYTHING EXCEPT WHAT I'D BOUGHT THROUGH ITUNES--grayed out again.
Why is this happening, and what do I do about it?
Thanks.

Open itunes.
Connect ipad. Select what you wan tto sync. Sync. Disconnect ipad.

Relax, they weren't converted to PDF.
You can tell by right clicking ANY of them and choosing "Properties". You'll see there that they're STILL .xls or .xlsx files. The "association" has changed and Windows now indicates that they open with Reader, which isn't right.
Where it says "Open With" under the General tab, you can click "Change" and re-select Excel as the default app to open thim.

When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

I think this is a more general problem Apple are having at the moment. I have just written in another thread:
"I am having this problem too. There have been quite a few other threads about it. It applies to single tracks too. They appear to download OK, and show as the right file size and length, but stop playing well before the end and iTunes moves on to the next track. Redownloading them helps sometimes but not always.
I have only had this problem for the last week or so. The longer the track the more likely there is to be a problem (perhaps obviously)."
I think it is the tracks themselves rather than iTunes. If you export the problematic track to the Desktop and try playing it with Quicktime it stops in just the same place.

All of a suddem a period consistently appears automatically in the location bar in front of my selected website address. How do I stop this?

The automatic insertion of a period before the desired web address causes the search to error.
I currently must always manually remove this period before I type the address...very annoying.
What did I inadvertently do to cause this period to remain after I delete an address from the
location bar and how do I correct it?

Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

TS3899 why does all emails sent from my phone being sent to my phone contacts and how do i stop this?

how do i stop all email address sent from my phone from being added to my contact list?

What kind of email account is this? Generally this only happens with accounts that you sync with Outlook. There is a setting in Outlook to add them. Most other mail clients will display a suggested list from previously written email, but will not automatically add them to the contact list.
Are you actually seeing them in the contact list, or is it just that when you go to type another name in with a similar starting letter you are seeing the name? The iPhone keeps this in a cache in case you want to use them again, but they delete eventually. Or, you can delete them by starting the email out, then tapping on the to the end of the address and then deleting the suggestion.

My music has begun to "skip" or there's the feeling that there's some interference in the playback. Why is that and how do I resolve it?

Recently, as I listen to my music I get the impression that the music is "skipping" or there's static or interference in the signal. It's similar to what happens when you play music on an old playback system. The music had been pristine in playback before, but now there are these random skips in my playlist. The song plays, skips a bit, continues. Wierd. Any advice as to why this is so and how to resolve will be helpful. I'd clean the heads but don't know how or if that even applies in some digital universe.
Thanks.

Maybe something else competing for system resources? Hard drive going bad/hard to read?

I keep getting a pop-up when I'm in Firefox that says "Opening admin-ajax.php". What's this all about? Is it an error? How do I stop it from happening?

Back up all data.
Check the Mail, Contacts & Calendar preference pane to make sure you're not synchronizing Notes in more than one account.
If you're not, disable Notes synchronization temporarily.
Quit Notes, if it's running.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
Copy the whole line of text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop.
The folder you're moving is named "com.apple.Notes" It is not the subfolder named "Data" or anything else.
Re-enable Notes synchronization.
Relaunch Notes and test. If it works now, delete the folder you moved. Otherwise, quit again, and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place.
Caution: If you delete some or all of the contents of the selected folder, but leave the folder itself in place, the application may not launch. Deleting the folder will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

How do I stop Mail from including myself in 'reply to all' emails?

I often am in email conversations with many participants. I have to use the 'reply to all' functionality daily and it keeps adding my own email address in the list of CCs. Now, I figured, that this could be because of my exchange accounts aliases. So I get email to address2 and only my address1 is configured in Mail.
Okay, but how do I add the alias to the exchange account? When I try editing it in Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Account Information, the field email address is greyed out. Unlike all other email accounts I have configured, the exchange account doesn't seem to let me edit the email address field.
Why is that, and how can I circumvent this inability? Commandline maybe? Any clues?
Thanks so far.
Regards.
PS: The Mail app does not seem to be listed in the locations. Sorry I had to post this here, but it seemed the logical alternative.

Just found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3532782
The solution could be, as I suggested, to add multiple aliases in the email field. Now, instead of using command line to change the accounts.plist file, as some users hinted, it works to do the following:
change the outgoing (smtp) server on the exchange account.
switch to another tab (save)
switch back to the exchange account and add the aliases (the field is no longer greyed out)
save again
be happy and confused at the same time.
thanks apple, great usability! pffffff
