After 10.8.5 Update, I Have Random Windows Open
After updating my mid-2009 MacBook Pro to 10.8.5, at startup I have a random collection of windows and applications that automatically open. It's the same stuff every time: An Aperture icon open in Preview, a Finder window showing a deeply buried iPhoto theme in the Application Support folder, and TextEdit with all of my documents open. The first time this happened, there was also a fresh Terminal window open, but that behavior has since stopped and it's just the other three.
These apps are not listed as Startup Items.
I have repaired permissions and verified my disk, and nothing else seems to be amiss. Anybody know what's going on, or have similar behavior after the upgrade?
I also had to go to System Preferences/General and check the close windows when quitting an application.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.
You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.

Need Help, i have an Ipad2 after 6.3.1 update, i have no cameras, or e-mail, I already reset, multiple times, but no improvment, can anyone help?
When you say reset, do you mean a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if it appears?

since installing the latest version... when I open a new window it opens everything I have minimized too... very annoying. How can I fix this, I minimize to go back to a window not have multiple windows open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after installed last version...Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with this error in a popup: ''CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox.''
when I close the popup, the original window opens seemingly without issue.http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.8/
visit this and find the compatible version of this f***ing firebug. which certainly has nothing to do with us (not-programmers). i have been having this problem for months but now the last link worked for my firefox 6. Find yours here. -

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!
Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction. -
I want to have 2 windows open at the same time using Windows7
Using any application, I want to have 2 windows open at the same time - 1 excel sheet & 1 Word document, or 2 diff pages from Blackboard, or email & Blackboard. How do I do this. Multiple tabs show, but only one will display
Are you saying that you can't open a new window using {Ctrl + N} or with File > New Window?
If so, something added to Firefox is blocking the opening of new windows, and you need to do a little troubleshooting to discover what is causing that fault.
Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.
Hi Swampxiix,
How many programs do you have open while you're working in Illustrator? Do you have a lot of layers or art boards?
It could be that your computer was being slowed by too many programs, or a complex design file. The age of your computer could also be a culprit.
If you're on Windows, here are some tricks you can try to speed up your computer:

I upgraded from 3.6 to 7 - changed nothing else - now takes 50-60 seconds to for the browser to start - works OK after that as long as I keep a window open. I then disabled all plug ins and extensions - still 60 seconds to load browser. I also keep getting a high memory warning from AVG with mem usage up to 600,000 k

I am a web designer. I have saved pages that I update and upload to websites all the time. Now, after the latest updates, when I try to open these saved pages it only opens Firefox and loads the homepage. The saved page does not open. If I'm to keep using Firefox, which I would prefer, I need this functionality back.

What do you have set up as the default application for .html files? Or are you opening another kind of file that isn't normally/automatically associated with Firefox?
If you drag and drop the file onto a tab (which normally would replace the page there with the local file), what happens?

I had tried all the suggestions. None of they helped. I can open the files by browsing for they after Firefox is open. I was able to spend some more time troubleshooting the issue yesterday afternoon. The issue has to do with the 64-bit file system. When I right click and select open with and then point it to the installation folder in the Program Files (x86) folder, it still won't open the file just opens to my home page. I did notice that when I was browsing for Firefox.exe that it defaulted to the Program Files folder not the Program Files (x86) folder. So I renamed the exe to LittleFox.exe and browsed for that exe and Firefox would then open the files as expected. So my guess is that it is a registry setting that is all the headache. I don't have time to run that problem down but will just use my workaround by renaming a copy of the exe and use that with my file association.

Hi Firefox
After I have finished downloading a file the Mozilla Download page appears.
I right click the download to open it and the 'You Have Chosen To Open' box appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen with the 'radio button' already selected to 'Open with..
All this so far is perfectly normal.
However if I click on the 'Browse' button to make a choice then the title at the top of the box, the closing 'cross' and the 'OK' button have all faded to grey and are inoperable.
Furthermore the whole Firefox page is frozen/crashed and can't be closed.
I have no further options than to restart the PC.
I have tried various suggestions I have found on your forums including deleting cookies, turning off the hardware accelerator, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 12.
I have looked at your 'Troubleshooting Information' and it does show a graphics driver problem. However my driver is the lastest nVidia driver for my GeForce FX5200 card and it has worked fine with firefox 12.
WebGL RendererBlocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 257.21 or newer.
GPU Accelerated Windows0. Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 257.21 or newer.
Here is the specification of my computer:
MSI K8N Neo motherboard (N1996 MS-7030 VER:1),
an AMD Athlon (tm) 64 processor 3200+ (Socket 754)
3GB of RAM.
It has at present a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 graphics card.
The system is running Windows XP Professional 32bit with SP3 and all drivers are up to date.
I have used Firefox for many years and would not use anyone else browser ever!
I have not had a problem until now. I do hope you can help me.
Kind Regards
ChrisDear mha007 Your brilliant! Now I have the correct terms it was the 'Opening' box that was freezing and it was the 'Choose Helper Application' that couldn't be accessed.
However I followed the instructions which I have cut n' pasted below and I am sure it was the 'renaming' of the rdf file that put things right.
Thank you very much I am very grateful. Kindest Regards Chris
'''''''Reset download actions for all file types
To reset how all file types are handled by Firefox back to default:
Open your profile folder:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Help menu (on Windows XP, click on the Help menu) and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
Under the Application Basics section, click on Open Containing Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (File menu in Windows XP) and then click Exit.
Rename the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old .
Restart Firefox. ''''''' -
