A you-tube video page (how to download a video) keeps attaching itself to every window I open in Firefox, but I can't close it or get to it.

The sound of the video sometimes plays in the background, but I can't get to it to turn it off. Also I was getting a double slider but only the one for the page I was really working in was active, but the bogus page will show up (flash up) when I navigate to another page on the site I'm working on. I deleted firefox and downloaded a new one and reinstalled, so now the second slider doesn't show up (or hasn't yet), but the same video page is there. Is this a virus or bug thing? Doesn't happen in other broswers (Safari and chrome).

Did you check the home page setting?
*Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Good morning.
Apple no longer includes Flash with the new Macs. So, if you run into things that require Flash you must, if you want to view them, go to the Adobe site and download the Flashplayer as Paul_31 suggested.
Enjoy your day.

Everytime I open a new page in firefox a you tube video keeps opening and playing, how do I stop this?

Why do pdf files from some web sites download as aspx files, which I can't open from Firefox but I can in Internet Explorer?

I have tried downloading files which are supposed to be pdf but they download as aspx files. This doesn't happen if I use Internet Explorer and other pdfs from the same web site download without a problem.

To make a long story short, the server can send a preferred file name but isn't always programmed to do so. IE sniffs the beginning of the file and may override what is sent by the server; Firefox does not.
You can manually change the file extension when you save it (if you have Firefox set to ask you where to save) or you can rename it after it is saved.

Ipad You tube video playback issue

You Tube videos keep stopping during playback. Any suggestions?

More than likely, it is your internet connection speed. The iPad will not stream or download as fast as your computer will even though they are using the same WiFi network in your home.
Check and see what you think
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=test+internet+connection+spe ed&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
You can download an app called SpeedTest on the iPad and check your connection on that as well.
Try viewing YouTube videos from a public WiFi place like Barbes and Noble or Starbucks and see what you get there with everyone sucking down bandwidth.

You tube videos crash after few seconds in Firefox

I have got the latest flash version and Firefox. You tube videos keep crashing after a couple of seconds. Very occasionally the same one that crashes will play . I have been trying everything for about 2 days including reinstalling firefox with new profile, uninstalling flash with Adobe's uninstall program and every other suggestion I have found on the internet but nothing seems to make any difference. I am thinking of using Chrome which does work but I do not want to. Previously it worked fine in Firefox with hardware acceleration. I hope someone can find a solution before I tear all my hair out. Thank you

I have just tried again and it is still crashing most of the time. I have also installed Google Chrome and cannot get it to crash at all with hardware acceleration on. The latest crash was after about 1/2 second

[SOLVED] Youtube Video showing up on every window I open?

Hello all, I'm getting this strange error. A youtube video (Appearing as it does before you click the play button when it is embedded) is showing up in every window I open (of any sort, it even shows up on games like minecraft) before that part of the window is filled with the actual program or image I am trying to load. It also seems to show up on black colors afterward. I'm completely lost here, any ideas?

What is other relevant data?
Yes, my system is up to date, and it only seemed to do it starting last night. It wasnt uptodate before this morning though.
I've realized it also shows up in the top left corner over anything black.

How do I download You Tube Videos to my iPhone 4

Fellow iPhonies,
I just purchased my first "smart " phone (iPhone4) and while I have mastered most of the functions, there are still
a few that I am having problems with. I would be most grateful if anyone could help me with the following:
1.) Copying You Tube Videos to my iPhone.
2.) Skyeping.
3.) Using voice control for other functions other then making phone calls.
I thank you in advance for whatever help you could give me concerning the above.
Sincerely, Stray
([email protected])

Use Spotlight to find it. It must be on your iPhone.
To access Spotlight, swipe down on your home screen, starting somewhere below the top of your screen. Type "App Store" into the resulting search bar.

Easy You Tube Video Downloader not showing up

I've downloaded Easy You Tube Video Downloader, and it shows up in Tools/Add-ons. But I see no little icons anywhere on my main browser window, and can't see anything that seems relevant when I'm on a You Tube page. So How do I access/use this program?
I tried emailing the developer, <[email protected]>, but it bounced. And I made the mistake of giving a donation in advance!!

No i have no message to verify/ repair your disk with disk utility. I am 62yrs old and i am not very technically minded. Sorry it`s an iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8) Does this disk utility automatically appear. As i have said it only happens in the first ten mins.with the spinning wheel. I can go back down now and they will all be showing you the original icons. Sorry to cause you bother.

How to embed a You Tube video into Keynote slide?

Hi there,
I am wanting to go further than simply making a hyperlink.
How can I embed a you tube video in the slide?
I am going to save as powerpoint for presentation on PC so hoping it will still work as well.
P.S This question has been asked previously but got no replies!!
If anyone has an idea....your knowledge is much appreciated

Any reason you don't download the video and just place it in your presentation?

How to link to a You Tube video

http://web.me.com/delaney303/RobertDelaney/kineticsculpture.html
I am in the process of redesigning this website for my brother...to access it use the above link AND then click on the red New Website link in the upper left corner.
Right now I want to add a you tube video, which I have done via a link to an outside page link...it works but I think it is not very elegant (to say the least)...you leave his site, and go to You Tube and then have to come back...not that smooth. I have that video on my hard drive if I need it.
I tried using an widget/ html snippet...and it did accomplish having the video open in my site,
but now I have a 3 x 5 video window stuck on my screen...and I don't want that either
so I guess my question is how do I have access to the video, have it open in my site, and just be marked by a link or an icon...something smaller and not so garish ( I guess)
Any help is appreciated. Thank You

nope...that wasn't it, or probably more accurately, it isn't everything...it still doesn't work
here is what I have done:
from apple menu icon>system preferences>internet&network>mobile me
from the mobile me window selected account > account details
from that screen I selected the "idisk" icon at the top (the url becomes http://www.me.com/idisk/)
Home (little house icon) is highlighted and there are a bunch of folders including movies....I dragged the movie to that folder)
I clicked on that folder and thought the url would change, with maybe/movies added to it
so how do I know what the correct url (to paste in the snippet) should be
also should the movie be in the home folder or should it be in the public folder...(I put it in there also)
does this make sense...
