Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

    AFTER UPGRADING TOMOUNTAIN LION SAFARI 6.0 DOESN"T WORK HOW CAN I REPLACE IT OR UPGRADE IT?

    An answer will require more specific information of the problems you are experiencing Mpittas2.
    In general, if you installed any third party anti-virus utilities, get rid of them. They can cause problems like this.
    There is no need to post your question multiple times. If you don't get an answer right away give it some time, a few hours at least, and please deselect your caps lock key. This will increase the likelihood of receiving competent assistance.

    I cannot open/click my iCloud (iphone 4s) after upgrading to ios 7.0.6... How can I fix it?

    Hey AU Nicasio,
    Thanks for the question. If the iCloud tab (and other tabs) are greyed out, and you are unable to tap on them, it sounds like Restrictions have been enabled on your device. Specifically, the Restriction titled “Allow Changes: Accounts”.
    For more information, see this resource:

  • I do not want to upgrade to 7.0, I am attending online college and the upgraded version does not work with my school. How can I stop Firefox from upgrading? I have to keep uninstalling the upgrade and installing the old one.

    How can I stop Firefox from automatically upgrading? My on-line college is not compatible with the upgraded version. I have to keep uninstalling the new one and reinstalling the old one.

    It's not a good idea to allow websites to redirect to another site until you know for sure the original site is trustworthy.
    But if you still want to do it (again not a good idea).
    Tools>Options>Advanced>General - In Accessibility, uncheck "warn me when web sites try to redirect..." option.

  • Why does TDM Importer start up when I open an Excel file in LabVIEW, and how can I stop it?

    I have a new application using LabVIEW 2012 SP1.  I open an Excel file using the Report Generation toolkit and when I do so, a small TDM Importer window pops up on top of the Excel file.  
    How can I prevent this?

    Hi Steve,
    The TDM Importer pops up because the report generated in LabVIEW is in the TDMS file format.  TDMS is a binary file that requires an importer to make sense of the binary data and translate it into an Excel spreadsheet.  As per this white paper, the appearance of the floating toolbar is expected behavior:  http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5874/en/
    To the best of my knowledge, you cannot get rid of the floating toolbar unless you uninstall the add-in, in which case you probably would not be able to open your LabVIEW-generated reports.  However, as of Excel 2007, the toolbar is embedded in the "Add-Ins" tab instead of floating on your spreadsheet.  You can see how the toolbar looks as of Excel 2007 in step 6 of this white paper:  http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5885/en/
    If there is a way to embed the toolbar in Excel 2003, it would be the exact same way you would embed any other floating customer toolbar in Excel.  In other words, I don't think this has anything to do with the fact that it's NI's add-in.  This is just the way Excel 2003 and earlier treats add-in toolbars.  Someone on these forums may well know a way to embed it (perhaps a macro?), but you may have better luck contacting Microsoft.  I'm not sure whether it's even possible for a user to embed the toolbar.

  • I just downloaded the latest software OS X on my mac book pro, now whenever I start my computer I have to wait for windows mac to open up.  The open at login is not even checked.  How can I stop this from happening?

    I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X.  Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing.  I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked.  How can I turn this feature off?  It's driving me nuts!!

    All fixed Barry.  When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there.  Do you want to open Windows when opening.  NOPE!!
    I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked.  Thank you for your help today.
    Best,

  • Some addons give a small purple screen about what is blocked; how can I stop this screen from appearing?

    I'm using adblock, adblock popup, better privacy, ghostery, no-script. Sometimes this purple screen, on the right side of the screen, almost on top, is very big, and blocking text. I can click it away, but it keeps returning.
    Is there a way to shut off the appearance of this screen?
    Thanks allready,
    J.Koopman

    I use NoScript, and it uses a bar along the bottom, so it's probably one of the others.
    Some extensions provide a toolbar icon or Tools menu entry allowing you to adjust how they work.
    In other cases, you can use the Options button on the Add-ons page for that extension:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    If you figure out how to tame it, can you post back with the answer? Other users often find these threads in web searches, and it could be helpful to them.

  • My Yahoo Toolbar no longer works after upgrading to 3.6.11. What happened and how do I get it back working?

    All of the icons disappeared. The Setup icon doesn't work.

    Complicated extensions like the Yahoo! Toolbar that heavily rely on JavaScript can stop working at any time after an update because of security issues, so you may need to see if there is an update.

  • Help me my iPod is white screening after I dropped it on the floor what happened and how can I fix it?

    I was playing an app on my iPod and I got up to go to the restroom and I decide to put the iPod in my pocket then as I legit go I heard a clack on the ground and found my iPod on the floor there was no physical damage to the screen face, no scratches, chips, or cracks.
    I then try to wake up my iPod and it white screened but does not shutdown, just a constant white screen. I tried to hard reset it and it continued to white screen when it restarted. What happened to it?

    Only if it is a loose connection
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • I have Windows XP. Firefox updated to version 6 automatically even though I have it set to notify and ask. Also just automatically updated again. How can I stop this?

    I have Firefox set to automatically look for updates then ask if I want to install them. I do this when convenient (may also need to restrict downloads on another machine when paying for Internet use by amount downloaded) Until recently it did just this. Firtefox 6 seems to have downloaded & installed (& lost all passwords & cookies) I assumed this happened when someone else was using the machine & said yes. It has now automatically downloaded the latest update automatically and the settings are still set to ask me first. What has happened & how can I stop it please?

    -> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''Permanent Private Browsing mode''' -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> click '''Exceptions...''' button -> type the addresses of the websites from which you want to Allow Cookies to be stored e.g. '''login.live.com''' , '''hotmail.com''' , '''live.com''' , '''msn.com''' -> click '''Allow''' for each, one by one 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> '''Keep Until : select''' '''They Expire'''
    -> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
    -> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
    Check and tell if its working.

    Hi Frantic503,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works. 
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar.

    Have a great day,

    There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions (deleting an app won't stop it) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    In terms of a refund, what does it say on the app's description page in the store (a lot say that refunds aren't given) ? But you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
