I'm not sure if this is a Firefox issue, but in the last week or so, whenever I do a search on Google or Bing, when I click on one of the results, I get redirected to a site like Tazinga!, instead of taking me to my destination.

For example, I did a search on Google for :
"resume have summary and objective - Google Search"
It returned several options. I clicked on :
"Summary and Objective statements | Magic Pot of Jobs (http://www.magicpotofjobs.com/2005/07/30/summary-and-objective-statements/)
And instead ended up at:
http://www.gimmeanswers.net/search/v5_1/searchabc.php?search=Resume+Have+Summary+And+Objective&affiliate=mx1-33371
This has been occurring with almost every search I do.

When i click on one layer, the layer on top get picked instead. How do i fix this?

Hi, as the headline says, im having trouble with layers. How do i fix this? Thank you for your concern.

Sounds like the auto layer select is enabled in the top toolbar. Just uncheck the box, then you can select the layers from the layer panel or hold down the ctrl(windows) or cmd(mac) keys and select from the document. Having that option checked allows you to select from the document with needing the modifier key.

When I click or type in a valid link, I get the message "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." I have to reload/refresh the page one or more times until the same page loads.

This happens with small sites as well as major ones such as amazon.com. It happens frequently with many different websites both when typing in a URL or clicking on one from search results or other pages. If I am opening it in a new tab, the page is blank and the correct URL shows in the address bar even though it didn't load. When I get the message "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" I have to click okay and then click on the link again or click refresh. Sometimes it loads on the 2nd try; other times I have to refresh multiple times to get it to load.
Anyone know what is causing this or what will help?

HT201335 I bought an apple TV and when I click on airplay on the apple TV I am unable to find the airplay on my ipad 2, Ipone 5 and Iphone 5S

I bought an apple TV today from Dick Smith and when I set it up on our Samsung Smart Tv and clicked on airplay on the apple TV, I was unable to find the airplay on my ipad 2, Ipone 5 and Iphone 5S to pair them. We are unable to find Airplay anywhere on our devices. When scrolling up as requested on most google sites we are able to see everything else but airplay.
Please help i think our Apple device is faulty.

Welcome to the Apple Community Natasha.
Your devices aren't supposed to be visible from the Apple TV.
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

I've built a header/nav bar, for a website I'm designing, in Edge Animate but when I click on one of the links it opens the URL in the header/nav bar and not the whole web page? How do I fix this so the links open the URL when click on the whole page?

I'm designing the website in Adobe Muse, using the .OAM file from Edge Animate. Please help.

Sounds like you may need to set the target url to _parent

I do a search. I click on one of the results. Upromise open up with a "Continue" or "Log In". I click on "Continue" and it goes to the Upromise logon page. It used to take me to the site I selected.

It's been doing this for the last month or so. I just discovered that I don't have to hit the "Continue" button. After a couple of seconds it pops over to a weird Upromise log on page. It's the below info and it's all in the upper left corner of the page.

I'm using LR5 and have recently had a problem with selecting and deselecting images. When I click on an image, the adjacent image also gets selected.

To expand on the problem, I've tried importing a different catalog and I get the same problem so I think the issue is in the application. Also I've tried using different mice and get the same result. Do you think I need to uninstall LR and reinstall it?

First, try rebooting your computer.
Second, exit Lightroom and delete the LR preferences: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5. On Mac, reboot after deleting. Sprinkling that magic fairy dust often fixes weirdness in the LR user interface.

When I select an address to a website from both email and/or other sites I frequently get the message, "Firefox can't establish a connection ... ."

I have tried to discover a comon issue but the only thing I see is that it is getting worse. Web addresses that I used to be able to select will no longer connect. Various suggestions are given in the box like ... perhaps the website is busy, or ... there something missing from the address. None of the suggstions make sense and it is increasing in frequency, currently more than 50% of the time!

Hello everyone.
If this problem is just in Firefox and not in other browsers, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
If the problem also affects other browsers, it's either your network connection or some third party software (like a fireall/antivirus/security suite) that is causing the problem.

I type in the search box; suggestions appear underneath; when i click on one of them, they all disappear, and nothing is added into the search box.

When I type a phrase into the Google search window, a number of suggestions automatically appear underneath as I am typing. However, when I click on one of these suggestions, there is no change to what is in the search window, and nothing further happens. I have tried every option under Tools|Privacy, and I've tried everything on Google options but nothing works. Normally, when I click on one of the offered suggestions it would appear in full in the search window. What do I do?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
If not, see this:

After recently updating my copy of iPhoto to 9.5.1 I can no longer access my projects; I can see them in the sidebar, but when I click on one of them all I get is a spinning wheel.

I recently update my iPhoto software to version 9.5.1 and since the update I have been unable to open any of my projects. I can see the project folders in the sidebar, but when I click on one of them all I get is a never ending spinning wheel. Any help wouldbe much appreciated.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

The music on my iPhone is WRONG, plays a different song when I click another one.

I recently plugged in my iPhone 4S to sync music with my relatively new Macbook Air. I had a song that someone had sent to me (a mix, not from iTunes) that I wanted to add to my phone. When I (safely) unconnected my phone and checked it, I found that a playlist (with only 2 songs) I had created earlier had disappeared. I then checked another playlist (3 songs),the one that had my new song in it, and when I clicked play, it played the 2 songs from the playlist that had disappeared. Now, ALL my music is mixed up. It seems like music is one song behind the cover art but even when I click on the same song three times, it plays three different songs, none of which are the one I clicked. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I tried to resync it by taking all the music off my iPhone and then readding it but the same problem occurs. I even tried adding all my music manually and nothing changes. The music on my iTunes on my Macbook is fine. All my updates are done on both devices. PLEASE HELP!! Will be going in to the apple store this weekend if I can't fix it.
ALSO, if a song plays to the end, it stops, even though it isn't on repeat and there are songs after it. It just gets to the end and freezes and I have to manually click the arrow to go to the next song.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found

I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.would you like to locate it".
Either how do I locate it, and I've tried every trick I know, or how do I restore all of my songs from one of two sources. I have my old hard drive backedup on an external drive which should have all of my songs, and I have most of my songs on my old iPhone 3S which I'm using as a backup iPod.

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

How do I get Firefox to open in a new tab (instead of a new window) when I click on one of my buttons in my toolbar?

When I click on one of my buttons in the toolbar, Firefox opens that button in a new window. I would like to be able to click on one of my buttons and Firefox open it in a new tab instead.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I attempt to click on a button

Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
Hope that fixed it.
