How do I enable links to only open and not download all the time?

I find in the Firefox browser that when I click on a link to view, listen, or watch the file automatically gets downloaded to my computer. I have gone into the preferences to disable this to view instead of save and this still continues. In other browsers I am able to simply view or listen such as in Safari. How can I disable this from automatically downloading?

Hi eusib43, Sorry you are having problems.
The redirection blocking feature is really intended to help users that need to use screenreaders and such; rather than being any sort of effective security measure; but some users set that unnecessarily.
* Try '''Firefox Button (or Tools) → Options → |Advanced| → Accessibility → [] Warn me when Websites try to redirect or reload the page ''' (Wording and exact menu options may differ somewhat)
* See [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption#w_accessibility]]'''_accessibility'''
* Does unsetting that solve your problem ?

How do I stop itunes program from opening on it own, all the time?

How do I stop itunes from opening by itself all the time?

This issue can be caused by Facebook Toolbar 1.7.3 extension
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

TS1702 Numbers keeps copying saved documents randomly and saves them to my Numbers desktop on my ipad. They are greyed out and you cannot open them but the original I can open and its happening all the time to eery document

I have numbers on my ipad 2, I have saved documents I have created in a folder so far so good. For some odd reason when I open Numbers before I anything it autocopies every single document saved, and there are about 50 documents. When it saves them the Numbers Icon is greyed out, the originals are still in colour. I can open the originals but cannot open the copies which I have to delete every single time. What is happening?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

My finder won't open and my crashes all the time since i install an iomega home media server.....help!

My finder keeps crashing and documents etc won't show sometimes when it does open. The problems have recently started following the installation of an iOmega Home Server......help

You might want to take your question to the iOmega website. The probability that someone here has both that server AND uses the MacBook pro is quite small, whereas the iOmega website selects for those who have the device and own a Mac OSX computer.

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot. You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services. The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

Do you know what do I have to do, all is in the correct IOS and is new, but I don't know what to do.

Well, two thoughts.
The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

Pages won't open and same with all the previous documents. How do I fix this?

When I went to click on Pages in the dock it created a barely visible circle around it and wouldn't open. I took it off the dock and afterwards could not get it back on. None of the documents will open and they all claim that it could not be opened because the file isn't in the correct format. I'm not sure what to do to get it to work. Any suggestions?

KR,
Exit all Apps and Restart Computer.
With only Pages app running, if still Pages still won't work, Create a new User Account and see if the new account has the same problem.
If new account works ok, problem is most likely in .plist user files of the original account. If that's the case, we'll help you locate and delete them.
Also, Using Disk Utility, check HD and Repair Permissions. Try again.
Now, if things still don't work, it's time to consider a reinstall.

When trying to udate iTunes on my PC, I recieve the error message "The older version of iTunes cannot be removed" How do I correct this error and not lose all the music I have in iTunes?

When trying to update my version of iTunes on my PC with Windows 7, I receive the error message "The older version of iTunes cannot be romoved". How do I correct this problem without losing all the music that I have in iTunes on my PC?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

My password keeps getting hacked, how can i disable my account and start a new one and not lose all the stuff I already have?

Hi All,
I need help, my password keeps getting hacked, and I keep changing the password, and changing all my security questions. I have changed everything I can. How can I disable my account, but not lose everything that I already have in there? Is this possible or do I have to start all over again?

You might have some better luck if you call your country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

FYI: Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
