4 won't save and exit..lose all opentabs..no help services or feedback options work. doing this on an un-upgraded computer!! right now 4 sucks!!

Everything looks different and many old features appear to be gone. All open tabs close automatically on exit without save option and there is no ability to go back to an open page within the same tab without backing through each page(no pull down bar). 4 is not friendly or efficient at all compared to 3.16.6. When you exit it closes all tabs that are open with no option to save and I can not get any of the help or feedback functions in the help menu to open.

If you want Firefox to warn you when you exit,one change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
An alternative is to set Firefox to automatically open your last set of tabs when you start Firefox.
# Open the Options window and go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
As for the drop-down list on the back/forward arrows, you can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

What happened to the Bookmark all Tabs/Save and Exit/Open previous session feature in 4.0? If this has been taken out then 4.0 is of no use to me. I'll have to go back to 3.6

In 3.6 when ever I closed the browser with multi tabs open it would give me the option to Save and Exit. Then when I reopened the browser it would give me the option to open the previous session. I could also bookmark all open tabs. All of these features appear to no longer be present in 4.0. If this is the case I will be forced to uninstall and reinstall 3.6.

Bookmark All Tabs - you can get it when you right-click on a tab, or use keyboard shortcut Control+Shift+D.

My iPod now loses my Klondike scores/settings after I "save and exit". How can I fix this?

After my last iTunes sync, my iPod loses my Klondike scores/settings after I "save and exit". How can I fix this?

I'd try a hard reset, you have nothing to lose. If that doesn't help and you can shut off the iPod (i.e. the white screen becomes black) you can try to recover it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If that still does not fix the problem and it was Apple that replaced the iPod, return it to them, you have a 90 Day Warranty. If you replaced the screen yourself, I have no idea if you did something wrong in the repair or if the replacement screen was defective. That is the main risk of a self repair. I doubt whether Apple will do an out-of-warranty repair on an iPod that has been opened, but you can try.

Built-in SSH Terminal question on how to save and exit

Howdy, Heres my question and problem.
I haven't been able to figure out how to save and exit the editor for the SSH terminal that the mac has. I've read that to save you press control -O hit return and to exit hit control -X but that doesn't seem to be working.
I'm trying to install imagemagick onto my web server and I get stuck at that point of saving and then exiting.
can anyone tell me how to save and exit the editor?
I hold down control press -O i let go of the buttons then i press control -X and it stays at the same editor like nothing happened. I try quitting the terminal and reloading it all but that just causes me to restart and nothing saved. and I actually hit the "-" key should i do that or no?
heres the instructions I'm following for the imagemagick install.
(For this next part, if you don't have "pico", you can use "vi" instead)
$ cd libtiff-lzw-compression-kit
$ pico Makefile
change
TIFFSRCDIR = /tmp/libtiff
to
TIFFSRCDIR = ../tiff-v3.5.5
Then save and exit the Editor $ make install
$ cd ..
$ cd tiff-v3.5.5
$ ./configure
thanks for any help

ctrl+x (thats both keys at the same time) will invoke the exit of the program. at wich point if youve made changes to the file it will ask you if you want to save the data or not. If yes you need to type yes or y and hit enter... if no then no or n. Then it will ask you what you want the file name to be with the default being whatever the file was that you opend to buffer to work on so in most cases you hit enter again.
hitting ctrl+o (thats both at the same time again) should write the file out and close the application without prompting i think (i dunno for sure... i always use ctrl+x myself).
At least thats on the OS X version of pico... your server is probably linux so it may differ although i wouldnt expect it to. my pico bindings have always been the same from Debian to CentOS to Darwin.
Also i msut ask... why cant you pass the TIFFSRCDIR as an option to ./configure like normal instead of manually editing the make file?

I just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod

After updating software on IPAD from computer says I have to reset IPAD to factory default and will lose all data???

After updading software on IPAD2 tells me I have to reset to factory default and will lose all data

Kinda.
Read the following in its entirty before doing anything.
Note that a "Restore" could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Then sync.

I took it to a ohone shop today and they're going to try and fix the phone without altering the memory, but apparently that's quite hard to do with IPhones
That will void any support from Apple. If you take the device to an Apple store you would be able to get an out of warranty replacement. A third party shop may make things worse and end up costing you more. Apple does not sell parts so all the third party shop will be able to use are parts from damaged or stolen devices. If the third party shop cannot fix the device you will have to pay full price for a replacement phone rather than the discounted price from Apple.

After downloading ver 4.0, i do not have the option of "exiting" or "sava and exit." Only "exit"

My most favorite benefit of Firefox is that I can "save and exit" I recently downloaded the newest version , 4.0. Since then when I goto "file>exit> click to execute, I am not given the option of "save and exit" How do I get this feature back?

I have collected alot of music over the years and the new update will delete all my music. I have puchased a new computer about a year ago so the previous music that I have is not available. Is there anyway to get the update and not lose all my music

I have collected alot of music over the past couple years and the new update for the itouch says that it will erase all music and videos on the ipod. Is there anyway to do the update and not lose all my music or is there a way to take all the music off my ipod and store it on my computer to put back on after the update? Any help

... I have had numerous computers over the past years
Let me guess, you have had numerous Windows computers, all of which crashed or became worthless virus-ridden junk. Happens every day, yet people think Macs are expensive.
Anyway, you are going to need the assistance of third party utilities to extract your iPod Touch's content. See wjosten's procedure here:

I recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing. For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work. It often happens when I'm in notebook trying to record.

i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing. For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work. It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly. I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......

This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too. I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously. About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working. However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it).
Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances? The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution. Does anyone have any solutions? Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues...
