Just upgraded to 9.4, safari will not let me keep more than 3 windows open, if i try to open 4th, one goes away

Safari will not let me keep more than 3 windows open, when I try to open 4th, one goes away, just installed 9.4 last week, nothing but problems

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Unless I'm in safe-mode, Firefox will not let me type more than one letter.

    I just received a new hard drive yesterday for my Inspirion N5110 (Windows 7). Firefox worked okay shortly, but has since begun to freeze after I type one or two letters. So if I type "nytimes.com" only the n appears. However, Firefox IS registering that I'm typing them, just not showing it. The same principal applies when I click on options. It will open me to the current tab (general) but let me go no further. But if I click on, say, advanced in the options it will open to the advanced AFTER I close it and reopen options, and the problem still persists, only this time on the advanced tab.
    Reinstalling Firefox has not changed anything, only safe-mode works. Disabling plug-ins has not helped either.

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • When sending multiple MMS messages is there a limit to how many you can send in a group?  My iphone4 will not let me send more than 10.  My 3gs I was able to send over 20 MMS messages at one time.  when I try on this phone I get the red exclamation mark!!

    When sending text messags from my iphone4 it will only allow me to send to no more that 10 contacrs at a time.  On my 3GS I was able to sendto well over 20 contacts at once.  When I try to send on this iphone 4 all I get is the red exclamation mark and a message saying message not send and to try again.  Is there something wrong with the way I have my setting?  I use this feature alot so I am really trying to figure it out.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    I understand that the limit is 10 people when sending MMS messages. However there is a much higher limit for SMS messages.
    If they would suit your needs, try disable the switch for "MMS messaging" on the Messages page of the Settings app.

  • Firefox will not let me start more than one instance (or new window)

    I thought I'd check here first in hopes of an answer.  I am not sure what this is related to honestly.  I have not done any recent system updates and this was working fine yesterday afternoon.
    This morning, when I unlocked my screen, I was unable to open a new instance of firefox (already had one running).  I rebooted for the heck of it and that did not help in the least.  Trying to run firefox from the cli gives no errors - I am even unable to call a new window from within firefox itself.  Simply nothing happens.
    Please any help would be appreciated.  I really need this to work.  I have too much to get done today for something like this to happen.
    Thanks

    Yeah I didn't really want to have to do that.  I've got three apache recompiles to do and a conference call in less than 2 hours.
    A bit more info on this.
    If I run 'firefox -browser -no-remote' it gives me the old 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding.  To open a new window, you must first close the existing firefox process ... yada'
    I'm going to try disabling some specific extensions

  • Just upgraded Photoshop and now it will not launch

    Just upgraded Photoshop and now it will not launch.

    The rule of thumb I follow says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open.  I have seen the scratch file exceed 300 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
    As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS.  I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
    Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.
    The scratch often exceeds 300 GB when working with very large pano shot, for instance; and in one extreme case I've seen it grow to over 800 GB.

  • TS2998 After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin).

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

    The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

  • Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away.

    Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away. On previous Firefox versions I could display my bookmark folders down the left side of my screen and just leave them there, accessing saved bookmarks when I needed to. Now with FF4 I can open a vertical column of my bookmark folders by clicking on bookmarks in the navigation bar but this won't stay there; if I click elsewhere they disappear. I could put a bookmark toolbar on my screen but this takes up more vertical space. I have lots of horizontal space that's unused. How can I go back to the display of bookmarks in previous versions?

    You can fix that by going to View -> Sidebar and click on Bookmarks.
    Or you could simply use a shortcut
    ''control + B''

  • Beware latest itunes update will not let you keep your old password.

    updates are stupid. The letest apple itunes update will not let you keep your old password.
    Probably pertains to those of us who have kept same password for apple id since inception. New rules make you do all sorts of stupid characters instead of keeping it simple.

    sam it sounds like ur password has a low level of security and new update wants to to make it stronger
    when it askes to to make ur password just put ur old one back in but replace some letters with caps and numbers
    i got them same thing when i updated mine to the new version
