On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

Click on the Hot Corners.. button and look at the four definitions. In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop. Set it to "-" to deactivate.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

My Sony Cybershot has always connected directly to iPhoto, but I must have changed a setting somewhere, and now it opens in Finder. Very frustrating to have to locate and then drag pics to iPhoto. Would I reset in the camera menu or in System Preferences?

My Sony Cybershot has always connected directly to iPhoto, but I must have changed a setting somewhere and now it opens in Finder. Very frustrating and I can't find where to change the settings - camera menu or Mac Preferences. Any advice?? Thanks

No, not in iPhoto, but instead in Finder (only). I've tried going into the camera menu and making sure it's set on Mass Storage, but no difference. Then I tried Auto - but also no difference.

Hi. Im receiving duplicates of all email (10x each). If I erase them they come back. Ive tried everything in Help. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi, Im receiving duplicates of all email messages on my iMac (10.6.8) . If I erase them they come back. Today I have recieved 4716 duplicates. Ive disabled all rules as Help suggested. Does anyone know how to correct mail duplication?

Ignore this if you've tried it, but have you tried repairing the disk using the Recovery HD? Reboot holding Command + r > Disk Utility > Repair Disk. If anything gets altered click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Restart from the Apple menu.
Have you tried a Safe Boot? Restart holding down the shift key until you see the grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.
It sounds like you've tried an SMC reset, but in case you didn't follow the exact procedure, here are the instructions. Sometimes attempting it 2 or 3 times can make a difference, according to a few posts on here that I've seen.
You could also try the PRAM reset that is listed as well. Good luck, but it might be a trip to the workshop for Apple to sort out.

I remove toolbars in the options menu and each time I re-load they come back. I want the ability to remove toolbars permanently.

In the options menu, I remove the toolbars that I don't want to see. i.e. Conduit Engine and Add-on Bar. They only remain removed for that session. When I re-load FF, they are back. I want the ability to remove toolbars I don't want and have them STAY removed.

The file that stores details of the customizations is probably corrupt. For details of how to fix it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Toolbar+keeps+resetting

The lock screen background on my iPhone 5s is blurry. It wasn't that way when I bought it but I must have changed a setting. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I can't figure out what it is that I have to do. I've only had the phone a day and have already messed it up. It's really annoying I can't find the setting to change it back. I don't even know what I did to change it to make it blurry in the first place. Can anyone help me?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings If yu can see the screen enough to do it)
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem.

I bought 26 new songs under my work e-mail and now i can't copy them to my i-pod because it has another music library on it. How can i combine both user id's to the same purchased account

I have 2 user id's with apple, i bought 26 songs from my laptop recently using my work e-mail. I plug my i-pod to sync it and it says that my i-pod is tuned with another library. i don't want to erase the songs I have already because they are about 760 and the new ones are 26 only. how can I combine both user id's and consolidate all the music into one user id?
everytime i try to do something it asks me to reset the password. I have done it already 6 times.
there is no phone # to call.
Thanks
Elena

Alright, please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here: http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.

Just bought some domaine names, but can't see them. they are redirected. best guess it is something embedded in firefox. i can't see anything though. help!

I bought some domain names from Godaddy. when i type the name into my firefox address line, instead of going to the parking page at godaddy, where it should go, it gets redirected to searchpagefix and there is a message on the side that says looksafe has blocked a hijacking page, etc.. i've spent hours on the phone with godaddy. they say the problem is not on their end. they see my domain name (peter-maloney.com) on their parking page. i spent hours on the phone with Norton support, my security software. They ran tests and diagnostics and found nothing. I downloaded ad-aware and ran that, nothing. I looked for looksafe to uninstall, etc. and it doesn't show up anywhere on my windows 7 machine. any suggestions? did this looksafe thing somehow get embedded in firefox? do i need to reinstall firefox? would i lose all my favorites?

Bad redirects can result from a variety of causes, including (1) system level malware, (2) system level settings changes, (3) bad Firefox add-on, (4) Firefox settings changes, (5) other (depending on the nature of the redirect).
Here's what I suggest for tracking it down:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
(3) Check your '''Firefox connection setting''' in the Options dialog here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default of "Use system proxy settings" should piggyback on your Windows/IE "LAN" connection settings, but you also can try "No Proxy" to see whether that works better.
(4) Search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Are you able to get rid of the unwanted redirects?

If I subscribe to Icloud and store my library there ,do the lossless versions of my music come back to me lossless or do they come back at 256 KBS

If I subscribe to I Cloud and store my music library there , do the lossless versions come back to me later lossless, or do they come back at 256 kbs ?

Hi...
It depends on whether your songs are matched or not.
If your music is matched then it will download at 256kbs, i.e. if you delete the original lossless file it will redownload as 256kbs from iCloud. If a song is not matched, it will be uploaded in the original bitrate that it was encoded with.
Hope this helps.

I have a 10.2.8 os. I had opened up the AOL logo on the bottom bar. Two aol boxes came up. I can get them to go away for a short time and then they come back. I have not used AOL for 6 years. How can I get the boxes to go away?

I have a 10.2.8 os on a G4 desktop. A week ago I clicked on the AOL icon in the bottom bar. I have not used AOL for six years. Two aol boxes came up. I can not get the boxes to go away for long. They may go away for 15 minutes and they come back while I am working. How can I get these aol boxes to go away?
I will be upgading to Tiger; 10.4.

Right click on the AOL icon and select move to trash.
