Does your question involve iPhoto in some way?

Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit. Now it just won't open. When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens! Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

I hate the fact that I found this topic on Google, but after I had to log in to post this reply it took me somewhere else! Again, a site designed by people who must never use their own software. Any site that makes you log in to use a feature should not cast you adrift one you've logged in for the express purpose of using that very feature. It makes me angry before I even start! I am only here now because I have been run through the hoops trying to buy Lion and install it. When I launched the app store, it had a lion's face I had to click on to download. But there was no link to Buy or Download. Eventually after many relaunches I accidentally discovered that if i clicked on £20 it changed into a green Buy - but only if you click directly on it, it you click on the down arrow it invites you to copy a link or to share it with somebody.. Then it made me log in again (what instant amnesia this site has) and I had to re-enter all my credit card info because it would not access an Australian American Express card even though it has a UK billing address. So I went back again, and still got the Lion. I clicked Buy several times but nothing happened. Then out of the blue it changed to Install. I clicked that many many many many many many times. Nothing happened whatsoever. I am going to have to give up for now and try and get through to Apple tomorrow as they shut up shop and there is no sales or tech support. God knows how many times they have charged my credit card for all the times I clicked Buy and nothing appeared to happen, or maybe it did happen and just doesn't tell you.
So far tonight I've done nothing but start and restart AppStore, log in over and over, click the price>Buy and try to click install. and for all this effort so far I have got a big fat zero.
I would have thought by now that Apple would have had some experiene in designing and delivering software over the internet, but my experience tells me that they are complete beginners whe it comes to user-friendly ecommerce. This is some of the laziest web work I've had the misfortune to be annoyed by.
Here's what I think should happen:
Log in once and once only
Click the product you want
Click Buy (a separate button from the price tag)
Once sale approved, click Download
Progress bar appears
Feedback in plain English for any action that cannot be completed for any reason, with that reason spelt out in layman's terms.

I accidentally erased the URL for my homepage with safari in the preferences so can someone tell me what to put in there so when I click on the safari icon in the dock it will take me to the safari page it had when I first got my macbook pro?

Safari comes with the Apple website pre-defined, so if you want to use it as the homepage for Safari, open Safari menu > Preferences > General, and type "http://www.apple.com" (without quotes) on the homepage box. Then, close the Preferences window and Safari will be set up with this page

I have been using find my iPhone on my iPhone 4s for the past year. I will look at it occasionally to keep track of my 12 year old. All of a sudden I have to log in every time I click on the app. I have always remained logged in in the past.. I upgraded to IOS 8 today thinking that might fix it. It has not.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

How do I get Mozilla to a default browser? When I click on the Mozilla Icon on my desktop, Yahoo come up!! Why?

Same as question

Here's an alternative. Click-and-hold on this link - http://icloud.com - and drag it to the Desktop. Rename the resultant file iCloud. Move it to anywhere convenient. Then drag it to the right-hand side of the Dock. Now you have one-click access to the iCloud website.
If you would like a pretty icon, then before you move it to the Dock, drag this image to the Desktop:
Open it in Preview and hit command-A then command-C
Now click on your 'iCloud' file and hit command-I. In the pane which opens click on the icon at top left once to select it:
Hit command-V to paste in the icon:
Then drag your iCloud file to the Dock.

When I click on the firefox icon, it takes minutes to show itself. How can I make it go faster?

I click on the icon, but it takes minutes to show itself. I click on internet explorer and google chrome and the appear fast. What should I do to make firefox appear faster?

Can someone help me to find a way to make my firefox show itself faster after you click on the icon?

The screen doesn't redraw when I click a link, so it looks like it's just sitting there frozen.

Moving the mouse pointer makes the content "magically" appear. If I keep moving the mouse around, I can watch as the screen updates; otherwise, I do something on another tab and come back to it. The same goes for watching things like slideshows or videos that appear in an overlay on a website. This website is a good example, but it happens any time there should be a screen transition.

This happens on any Windows 7 computer on which I've used Firefox 4.

Looking at your installed extensions, I would be guessing either the Free Download Manager plugin or Skype extension (last is unlikely as it's deactivated, but you never know..).
You can test if it's an add-on problem by starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] - if there is no longer an issue in Firefox Safe Mode, it is almost certain that one of the add-ons are at fault.

When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop the Netscape sign on window opens and doesn't close. Firefox opens after repeated clicking but it never connects.

The wheel that says "connecting" just spins indefinitely. Does anybody know what the problem could be and how it can be fixed? This started a couple weeks ago out of the blue. It never happened before. I've been logging in to Firefox for the last couple years without any issues. Funny thing is I'm not even sure if we have Netscape. I've looked on-line for info on viruses that behave the way I've described above and I havn't found anything.

I have used firefox for years I dont like internet explorer but it works I run xp with 2.2 gig processer and 2.3 gigs of ram this just started the day before yesterday. please help thank you .

Hi,
If Firefox was downloaded from a known good source, and if the OS is free of malware, then this is most likely a coincidence in that it may be an entirely different issue like hard disk or RAM problems, or a OS problem.
You can try to deselect '''Automatically restart''' by right-clicking '''My Computer''' > Properties > Advanced > Settings (beside Startup and Recovery) which may help to give a blue screen. If the blue screen appears you can then search online for the error code which would hopefully help to find a quick solution. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows OS forum] would also be helpful.
