How do I stop Firefox 31.0 from closing down when I close the only tab that I have previously opened. This has not happened before and is infuriating.
As far as I am aware this problem started with the upgrade to Firefox 31.0. If I open Firefox and look at a website and then close that website, then Firefox closes down. The same thing also happens whenever I close the last of a number of websites that I have previously opened. Previously, I could close the last website looked at and the process did not close down Firefox, merely left me with my Homepage.
Hey! That's it. It worked!
Thanks a lot

How do I stop LR5 import dialogue from starting every time I insert an external drive. I have already unchecked this from Preferences to no avail.
Hi Jim:
You are a Legend! I have Windows 8.1, but I had the same option in Control Panel and sure enough it was in auto play, which I have now changed and it is no longer occurring. Thank you!!

When Firefox does freeze (not responding appears in parentheses in the page tab) I am not able to access any of the webpages (the entire webpage is hidden behind a vaguely white transparent foreground) and more often than not any files I might be downloading are stopped before the entire file has been transferred - which means that I have to start those downloads from the beginning AGAIN. This has been happening for quite some time and I AM SICK AND TIRED OF IT HAPPENING!!
If it continues to happen for much longer I will swear off FireFox FOREVER!!!!! Either a program works or it does not work and lately Firefox has not worked worth a damn...........
The ONLY way to force Firefox to allow me to access it is for me to end the plugin-container.exe file process using Task Manager. Clearing there is a SERIOUS problem here that has not been resolved - why not???The pluging container opens up unnecessary copies as the cookies/history are cleared, this is a known issue, it might be what you are seeing, and it is hoped to be fixed in some future release of firerox.
There are some hangs affecting some users, with symptoms being high cpu usage, occurring as bookmark changes or syncing is in progress, there is a work around for that.
Firefox hanging as you close it see:
*[[firefox hangs]]

All of a sudden, I can't seem to import photos from my Canon to Aperture. Nothing is happening. This hasn't happened before. What can I do?
All of a sudden, I've got the same problems too. Canon EOS camera connected via USB to Aperture, and nothing happens. I've got Aperture running, and using System Profiler the camera shows up on the USB tree. Using Image Capture the camera shows up briefly, but then disappears. I know it's not a battery problem with the camera, since it's fully charged and it's not a USB problem since the cable works for everything else.

If I try to send an email from a website by clicking on an email link my mail client (MacMail) does not pop up! This is not a problem with any other Browser. Similarly if I want to send a page (webpage) and I click on sendpage under the file pull down menu nothin happens. Again only with Firefox 5.0.1Hi,

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

Firefox has always worked fast. But after the last upgrade, it has slowed right down. I am running Windows 7 32 bit. Now the first website loads fast; then the next website loads slower; then links gradually slow down until I just see the reverse arrow which never loads up.
I have re-installed Firefox w/out success.
Please help,
WillSorry your experience wasn't a plesant one, but most of the issues they work on are hardware in nature, not software.. I'm not taking up for Apple... I'd had my share of run-ins with them as well.
As for your iTunes issue... an EASY solution is to simply tell iTunes that the location you want your tunes stored in is your Public folder. Items in your public folder can be seen and opened by others, so your wife could easily access the files there.
For you, go to your Music folder, find the iTunes folder, and drag it to your public folder.
Next, go to iTuness>Preferences and click on the Advanced tab, then the General Tab, and the first window you see is the iTunes Music Folder Locataion. Click Change, then navigate to the iTunes folder in you Public folder.
Now, next time you purchase a song from the iTunes store, or import songs from a CD, they will be stored in the iTunes folder, in your public folder.
You wife does basically the same thing except she navigates to YOUR public folder, and the iTunes folder inside.
She will have to manually find and import any new songs you add but at least your entire library will be available for her to listen to.
There are other ways of getting the same thing done, but I think this is the easiest.

I have a new computer. I transferred all my data files and installed my programs. Now, when I try to print a page ti pdf using Adobe Acrobat 9, Firefox crashes, and Adobe hangs up.
Thanks for your reply cor-el. I had never heard of nor seen the pref network.http.max-connections until I read about it in some of the replies in this support forum. People were saying 256 was the old setting and a new setting of 48 would correct my problem. When I followed the instructions to get to - see - and change the setting I discovered that my network.http.max-connections was already set to 48. I never did this. The only way I can think of that this setting was changed is that it happened by an automatic update to my Firefox browser. So, the problem I have was probably happening while this setting was at 48 all along. It is still set at 48 and I am still having the same problem. I will try as you suggest and set it to 30 and see what happens. I'll let you know the results. That's again for your response.

My 'personal' reminder color of green has been green since day one. Suddenly it changed to purple, and I cannot make it change back for more than 30 seconds--it will change to green after going to edit, get info, then return to purple immediately
by itself. A small circle shows up like something is downloading, and green becomes purple again. Very frustrating.Make sure you select the correct account in the From: drop-down menu when composing a message.

How do I stop PSE 13 organizer from quitting unexpectedly when working with the PSE editor
Every time I'm working in the editor I get the error message "the organizer has quit unexpectedly" I have uninstalled and reinstalled as per chat supports recommendation with no improvement.

How do I get my lap top to shut down when I close the lid?
I have tried to switch on the function that shuts down my lap top when I close the lid but am either dumb or lazy and gave up too quickly.... any help would be greatly apprecated.
Thanks Poikkeus
My mac goes to sleep when I close the lid pretty quickly but when I open up the lid it opens up again where I left off.
Some nice person burgled me some time ago and stole my mac so I want to force my mac to close right down so when someone else opens up they are forced to open up in guest. I can then track my mac without risking them accessing my personal details etc. -
How can I stop Firefox 4.0 from preventing me from installing a Yahoo toolbar?
I have Windows 7. As soon as I download Firefox 4 I lost my Yahoo toolbar. When I try to reinstall it, I keep getting long error messages with lots of numbers that tell me that Firefox prevents the installation. I want my Yahoo toolbar. Clicking on and off the Yahoo toolbar in Tools does not work either.
It is possible that you are still on the beta update channel if you ever installed a Firefox 4 beta version or a release candidate.
You can check that by looking at the pref <b>app.update.channel</b> on the about:config page.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.
If the value of that pref is beta then it is better to download and install the latest Firefox 4.0.x release.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data. -
How do I stop Logic Pro X from trying to load a 32 bit plug-in that's no longer installed
How do I stop Logic Pro X from trying to load a 32 bit plug-in that's no longer installed? I noticed it occurring on projects where I used Miroslav Philharmonik. I keep getting prompted when opening the projects. I uninstalled Miroslav thinking it would stop, but it didn't.
Assuming you are talking about the boxed set of Logic Studio (Logic Pro 9) on DVDs the only solutions are to either borrow or purchase an external CD/DVD drive and use that with your new MBP.
Amazon sells a very reasonably priced 'Amazon Basics' external CD/DVD drive suitable for the process...
http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Portable-External-Optical-Drive/dp/B003M0NT1M /ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416924310&sr=8-1&keywords=CD+DVD+external+drive+amazon+ basics
Do NOT try and copy Logic across from your Mac to your MBP using something like Time Machine or Migration Assistant... 99% of the time, doing so results in all kind of weird issues later on.
Just install Logic pro 9 plus all it's content from scratch using the DVDs provided with Logic Studio Boxed set.....
