Advanced editor pops up after only one click so how do I get this to stop?
When I write an email I typically don't keep typing all the way to the right margin. Instead
I choose to keep the line of words narrow by routinely hitting
"enter." Hence, it's like creating a new paragraph after every line
as I am doing now. Then when I go to edit, such as to take out
a word, I will move the cursor and place it in a white field next
to that word. I would then backspace to delete the word. However,
as soon as I click the advanced editor pops up. I am very careful
to only click once. After attempting to consistently repeat this annoyance,
it seems that it is most likely when I have previously used the enter key and
it be most likely to happen with that first edit. A single click later in the white
field is not likely to trigger the advanced property editor. I'm with others that
write about this being a very annoying event, and it has just started after a year
of using thunderbird. I have a lot of folders. If I re-install I would not want to loose those
folders. A follow up question may be, how do I back up these folders?
Clicking once in a white space does not open the advanced editor.
This is only initiated if you click twice in a white space.
However, the point that some people keep clicking twice either because of their computing habits in a word processing package or otherwise has been taken on board by the developers. As you say, people like yourself found the pop up irritating and wanted it removed from so easily being selected.
You will be pleased to hear that if you update to 31.1.0 then you will find that accessing the advanced property editor has been prevented from opening using the double click.
The Thunderbird program is not stored in the same place as the Thunderbird Profile folders.
So updating via 'Help' > 'About Thunderbird'
click on 'Check for updates'
will not have any effect on folders.
You could also uninstall the current Thunderbird via Control Panel > Programs and Features and then download from here:

However, it is always a good idea to backup your Profile just in case :)
You can use MozBackup tool to backup a Profile or use ImportExporttool to backup emails or you can manually copy the Profile folder.
Suggest you save all backups to an external storage device for safe keeping.

I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor. Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button. How do I get this to stop? Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
Thank YouThis was extremely annoying for me, also. I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem. It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom. Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem. Itunes also boots up way quicker. But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc. For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them. Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem. They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
Side note: the Broadcom package is huge... nearly 1GB in size. Which is crazy. I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it. Entire operating systems can take up less storage. Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories. -
i recently got IOS 8 and I like it but there is one problem on my camera roll it says i have 600 photos but i went into setting general and about and it says i have 2,743 photos my photos keep on duplicating how do i get this to stop. i have a iPhone 5c
Hi Bpaitin,
Go to Settings>General>Usage, and under iCloud, click on Manage Storage>click on your device, then under Backup Options, turn Photo Library off and then back on. See if that clears it up.
If it does not, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
Cheers,

My 5th gen iPod touh was stolen a month ago. I immediately removed that device from my account and yet today I looked at my photostream and there are tons of pics of these people on my photostream. How do I get this to stop?!?
Change your iCloud ID password: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624. After doing so, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new password.

my ipod 4th gen gets wiped clean of music anytime I sync. it then only redownloads some of the music in the library and wont upload missing songs. They show on the ipod grayed out. How do I get this to stop? re-uploading takes 4 hours and is never completed. I only get some of the 6000+ songs I have. This started when I updated to IOS5 i think.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

I ordered an Adobe Revel app on a 30 free trial which downloaded successfully. However I find it isn't what I require but have already been debited £3.99 after only 3 days? How can I stop this monthly billing and why is a 30 free trial not what is advertised?
Instructions for canceling a Revel subscription are posted here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/revel_how_to_turn_on_off_a uto_renewal_for_subscription_billing
You only get charged for Revel if you choose the monthly or yearly paid subscription options, which indicate their prices before you complete the purchase. If you choose the "complimentary 30 days" option instead, you get full use of Revel for 30 days, and you won't be charged at all -- unless you later choose to upgrade to one of the paid options. -
I recently upgraded to ios 8.0.2 on the iPhone 5. One new feature I noticed was a grey box that listed word suggestions to add to a text as it was being typed (not to be confused with the auto correct or original word bubble that pops up for autocomplete). It disappeared and I am not sure why or how I can get this feature back.
If there is a thin gray bar with a white dash in the middle immediately above the keyboard, you can reopen the suggestions by placing a finger on the white dash and dragging up.
You can turn the suggestions on/off by going to Settings > General > Keyboard > Predictives -
Multitasking appears after only one click
Multitasking bar appears with just one click. Sometimes pushing Home Button does nothing and must be pushed again once. Sometimes Camera Button appears after touching Home Button only once.

I just updated my iPhone with the newest update IOS 6.1. My old Apple ID keeps popping up on my iPhone for me to type in the password that I no longer know. All the passwords I type in do not work. I no longer have access to this email which is my old Apple ID. After installing the newest software update my old Apple ID came up to finish configuring. Since I no longer have access to this Apple ID and email account and after trying some passwords I skipped the step. It then said FaceTime, iCloud (which I do not use), and more may not work. I clicked that it was OK since I could not remember the password to my old Apple ID. I then went to my settings to be sure my newer email was my Apple ID by typing in my current Apple ID and password. Also, I went to Manage my Apple ID online and my old Apple ID could not be found. Is it OK I skipped that step in the IOS 6.1 configuration? How do I get my old Apple ID to stop popping up?

It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.
