Why does FEBE backup popup window pop up every time I open the Firefox browser, even after I just backed up FEBE????

Since I installed 7.0.1, it has been nothing but trouble. It locks up frequently. Menu and add-on toolbar does not always load. FEBE does not recognize any previous backup, and wants to backup every time Firefox is opened, every time, even if I open multiple windows. The only way I could stop the FEBE popup was to schedule it to backup on browser shutdown or start up. Any scheduled option, including NO SCHEDULED BACKUP makes no difference. As soon as I open the browser the FEBE backup popup, pops up. I want a previous version back.

You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
You may also need to "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

Why does the plug-in checker pop up every time I open fire fox?

Since yesterday every time I open fire fox the mozilla plug-in checker loads in a tab (in addition to my set home page) . How do I disable this?

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''
''That pref was new to the Firefox 3.6 version and is present in later versions.''

Why does the solution center prompt for cd every time?

My HP 8500 constantl;y prompts for me to insert the CD each time I try to scan. I have lost the CD, and just paid $10 to get a new one, but it is very annoying! How do I stop this?

Hi Tom,
There is something missing in your Scanning software.
The Solution Center is like a dog with a bone about missing stuff.
Something to try/consider:
See the Solution on this Post - it has the information that might help you correct your Solution Center woes.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/cannot-open-solution-center/m-p/110924...
If, for some reason, you cannot download new software for your printer as outlined in the above Post,
and you really do not want to wait for your new CD, then you can Uninstall the Solution Center Software from your computer. See the warning below.
Uninstalling your Solution Center:
BE AWARE: If you elect to uninstall Solution Center to make it stop annoying you...Your printer might still work after you reboot and let the computer try and install some standard drivers - HOWEVER, it will only work with whatever "bare bones" drivers are available on your system. It might not work at all. It depends on your Operating system, whether there are enough HP standard drivers for your printer to run the basic printer HP8500 functions, and whether things get tangled up when you uninstall the printer software. It could go well, or it could become a nightmare and you could be more unhappy than you are right now.
The very best scenerio: You find at the Solution Center link a way to download the Full Featured Software for your HP8500 printer and it fixes your scanning error.
I hope this helps.
Say “Thanks!” by clicking Kudos Star next to the Post that helps you.
Mark a Post “Accepted Solution” to say your issue is solved.
Kind Regards,

Every time I turn my computer on it starts freaking out. The mouse starts moving on its own along with windows coming up and moving off the screen. Also the windows get bigger on their own and the screen slides around like some one else is doing it.

I have checked for viruses, restarted it and nothing works. It doesn't do it all the time just most of the time now.

Try resetting your PRAM by restarting, then holding <CMD>+<OPTION>+p+r until you hear the start up chime twice, then release the keys and allow to boot up.
If that doesn't work try resetting the SMC:

If those two items don't help take your machine to your nearest Apple store and see if they can assist.

Why does the YouTube app say playback error every time even when I have wi-fi

When I try playing a video it keep saying playback error even when I have wi-fi on. This has happened a few days ago.

I notice that the WiFi is "white", like all good KitKat icons, instead of White for connected with no internet, and blue for fully functioning.
The 1x right next to it seems very dim. If I turn off WiFi, the 1x gets bright white, and has the up/down arrows under it.
If having the icon on my status bar all the time means that I actually will get data when I leave WiFi, then it's a winner.
I "hotspot" a lot, and I used to have to make sure I had a data connection and launch the hotspot before I got on a phone call, because the only way to get it to connect was to power cycle the phone.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed asiTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you have the media you can use selected steps from the tip to ensure that you don't lose settings and data from the device as a result of switching libraries.
A large number of users with this issue have been using AVG Anti-Virus which appears to be implicated in the problem. AVG have released a patch which might help, so if you use AVG then I would update that first. I'd also be interested to know which AV you use in case others may cause similar issues. I recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time and scheduled AV scanning process. Another possible cause could be automatic backup tools.

I cannot open the store (using Windows 7). Every time I try there is a blockpage.

I cannot open the store (using Windows 7). Every time I try there is a blockpage.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it?

Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it? It never used to do this. How can I stop it ? When I open the app I usually want to just listen to the music collection I have in it, not download anything or buy from the store.
How can I stop this default ?

I have checked and it isn't.
This never used to happen, but I suspect something changed at the last iTunes update.

How can I get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer?

How to get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer.

You can place a shortcut to the Firefox program in the Startup folder in "Start > Programs" by dragging the Firefox shortcut from the desktop or by dragging the Firefox entry in "Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox" to that folder (or use Copy/Paste to achieve this).

You probably need to restore your iPad now. Pay attention to the last part of this kb article where it explains about using recovery mode. You may need to restore the iPad using that method.

Are you talking about the spell checking? Or the keyboard layout? Safari, or some other browser?
For spellcheck, go to system prefs/language & text/text/spelling and set it to British English. Also go to system prefs/language & text/language and use the Edit button to add British English to the top of the list.
