If I click a link in my email service(Thunderbird) which opens a web page. When I later open Firefox, the previous page appears instead of my home page. How do I stop this?

Firefox opens for 2 seconds then closes until it opens again ,with the link page, instead of my Home Page

I use Ubuntu 10.04 and I also get this problem when attempting to open a link through TBird 3.1.10. Firefox 4.0.1 '''opens to my homepage only'''. I have to physically put the link address in the address bar to go to the link.

I use Firefox as my default browser but, on any site, keep getting some words underlined in green from which an ad pops up. Really peeing me off! Doesn't happen on IE or Chrome. How can I stop this?

From what you have described, I don't think you are ever going to pick that up as malware at all. But I did look at the site you mentioned in Google Chrome, and in IE9. First thought was maybe Chrome suppresses it, but that would be contrary to trying to convince you that their AdSense or IntelliTXT is "helping" you.
What I did find in Chrome was
"Google Chrome's connection attempt to ad-apac.doubleclick.net was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured."
Since I don't have ad blockers in Chrome or IE, that tells me that my hosts file is doing its job, you can draw you own conclusions. There is something similar displayed in IE, but I can't read what was there because the font-size was too big. for the space. In Firefox with "Adblock Plus" extension it is all wiped out. The hosts file works across the entire system but is directed at blocking malware sites more than advertising. "Adblock Plus" is very good at blocking ads and can do its blocking with more generic filters, and can block a lot of malware from coming in but it can't block at the system level that a hosts file can.
In IE although I can only see "It appea" because the font is too large and text does not wrap it does actually say "It appears you are connected to the Internet, but you might want to try to reconnect to the Internet."
I would certainly suggest installing "Adblock Plus" extension and the "Easylist (USA)" filter subscription -- links are in the links previously provided, and installing the hosts file as well also in the links.
It takes a bit more work to install and maintain a hosts file but the directions should be clear enough.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.

When syncing my ipod it's started to sync music that's "unticked". How do I stop this??

Make sure the Sync only checked songs and videos option is NOT ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. You should now be under the Summary tab. Be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner after making the change to the settings.

My iPad has been stolen and the thief continually resets my I'd password. How do I stop this. He can just get an email to rest password

My iPad has been stolen and the thief continually resets the password he gets the email to reset and does it easily
How can I stop this?

The thief must also have access to your email, so you need to change your email password. Most likely what is really happening is that the thief is trying to access your itunes account and is entering the wrong password too many times, in which case it will automatically be reset.

Hello ctb4408,
With iMessage, it is meant to show up on all your iOS devices and Mac. If you do not want them to go across all your devices, then you will need to turn off iMessage on your iPad and Mac Pro.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

I keep getting the iTunes help screen in German Language on restart, how do I stop this?

Ugraded to iTunes 10.5 and now on restart I keep getting the iTunes help screen in German Language how do I stop this?

Hi Thanks,
I could only see posts from some months ago and thought I had something different.
Looks like I have not been using the correct search terms.
Will wait and see what happens.

ITunes 11 has been deleting the back catalogues of several of my podcasts. How do I stop this?

This hasn't happened to all of them, although I can't find any rhyme or reason as to which ones it's allowed me to keep and which ones it's deleted (most often they've been ones I've already listened to, although even that isn't always the case). How do I stop this and is there any way of restoring my podcast library without having to re-download everything all over again?

I'm experiencing the exact same issue. Frustrating.
Redownloaded episodes.backed up and then readded to library post 'refresh' and or iTunes shut down reboot.
reoccuring issue.
This coincidently happened when I updated to iOS7 and Podcasts were all defaulted to the Apple podcast player.
Prior to that, I was able to play Podcasts through the default Music App - from the podcast library.
I have been at a loss to decide if the problem lay with the syncing between this new (for me ) 'Podcast Player' and itunes 11.1.1 or was inherently a problem / bug in itunes 11.1.1
I reported the problem to Apple.

HT201210 This is the second time my iphone has had to restore, how can I stop this from happening?

My phone completely freezes and I get the itunes update icon. Can I change a setting on my phone to stop this from happening as I am unable to use my phone at all when it does this and sometimes when I have gone to update I just keep getting error messages.

There is no setting to stop this from happening, which means there is a major problem with your iPhone and the reason you can't use your iPhone at the time.
If you restored from your iPhone's backup, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup. If this occurs again shortly thereafter, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

I use Firefox on Windows Vista. I have a Norton toolbar. Every day Firefox makes me reinstall the Norton toolbar in order to use it. How do I stop this ?

When my computer has been shutdown for a while, I don't have my Norton toolbar when I first start Firefox. If I then restart Firefox a window opens asking if I want to allow Norton to install the toolbar. When I click allow I am told I have to then restart Firefox again. Upon restarting Firefox again my Norton toolbar is present. Since I shut the computer down every night, I have to go through this entire procedure every morning when I start it up. There is surely a fix for this.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions (wont uninstall norton toolbar), Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

When i try to add songs i downloaded from bandcamp they get alphabetized. How can i stop this?

When i add an album i downloaded from bandcamp it does not sync in the right order. Why, and how can i fix this?

If you are getting a box which looks like this -
- then you are right-clicking or Control-clicking on the icon in the Dock, or are click-and-holding on the icon rather than just single-clicking it quickly.
In any of those cases, clicking on a bare patch of Desktop should make the box (menu) disappear.
