After visiting a website that was a pdf file (which didn't load -crashed), Firefox now constantly causes calls to my hard drive all the time when open.

I went to a site that was a pdf of a map. When I clicked on it, the hard drive called constantly and the map never did download. Now when I open Firefox, my computer constantly makes calls to the hard drive all the time Firefox is operating. This does not happen when I use MS Explorer. Also, when I close Firefox from the desktop, it appears to close but is still operating in the background. I have to go into Task Manager to close Firefox. Then the calls to the hard drive stop.
Something similar happened once before with a pdf file, but it stopped when I shut down Firefox, rebooted, and reopened in Safe Mode. Now the condition is permanent. Is there a fix?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC.

No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either. It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB. All of which cannot be opened or selected.
Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC. Is that the same? Thank you for your time and response.

Hi iv got a sky router downstairs and a time capsule up stairs how do i set it up so that it just extends the sky wifi and then the hard drive in the time capsule is accessible from all over the house thanks

Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on the back of the Sky router to the WAN (circle of dots icon) port on the back of the Time Capsule. This connection must be maintained at all times.
Then, using the setup "wizard" on your iMac illustrated below, configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password that the Sky router is using.
You can get the setup wizard going in several different ways, but the simplest might be to click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen and then click on Time Capsule under the heading of New AirPort Base Station.
The wizard will open up and analyze the network, then the suggest the correct setup. The example below shows an older AirPort Express that is about to be setup in the same way. You will see a Time Capsule icon on your screen when you run the setup wizard.

I have my iTunes music folder stored on an external hard drive. I recently purchased a new Mac. After attaching the external hard drive, all the songs imported without any problem except my Playlists. Any clue about where they are or how to revive them

Thanks!

To retain your playlists, artwork, play counts, etc, you need to move the entire iTunes folder, not just the music files..
Correct.
After that just select the new folder location in iTunes> Advanced settings.
Incorrect.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder.
This will read the iTunes library.itl file in this folder and the library as it was previously will be opened.

With these changes I can only print a page the print preview capability has been taken away I use it all the time when wanting to print something from a website

When I was in a website and I wanted to print a page there use to be in the upper left hand corner of my screen a tab that said 'FIREFOX', I could click on that tab and I had several options, one was 'print' and 'print preview'. I use the print preview button all the time to see what the page would look like when I was printing and how many pages there were. I could then choose to print all or some of an article and adjust it to what I wanted to print. I no longer have that tab in the upper right hand corner. Now in the upper right hand corner is a tab for 'open menu', however in that menu is only a 'print' button. There is no option for 'print preview' and therefore I cannot adjust what I want to print. I also could adjust the margins, etc. from a view tab, that too I cannot find. I really hope there options are still available and how do I find them, where are they located?

In my updated firefox, the print button does NOT open print preview first.
How can I access print preview function?

Very frustrated with my LG G2. My screen freezes all the time when texting. This started after the upgrade. My husband's phone is doing the same thing. We have reset the phones, deleted off pics and videos but nothing helps.

Very disappointed in my LG G2. My screen freezes all the time especially when texting. This started after the update. My husband's phone is doing the same thing. We have done a hard reset, deleted pics and videos to clean up the phone but nothing helps. Any suggestions? Our phones are new.

Lots of Frustration. In some cases the LGG2 is rendered useless even as a phone.
Here is what I did.
Got replacement Phone.
Same problems but I shut down all apps that I purchased even though they worked before KitKat.
Found that If I have both WiFi and LTE Data on at the same time battery chewing stops. Do Not know why.
Then I got 2 CM free utilities. The Clean and Wash utilities. Run them and find the culprits grinding CPU
cycles and running down the battery. Number One is the Verizon Voice Mail service constantly turning on and off
and retrieving data not there. Turn of the extra Voice mail and use the old access with the *6. Unless you have
100 messages a day for business your hosed until this KitKat issue is fixed. Get the CM battery utility.
YOU can see the battery suckers and shut them down when not using automatically.
Start putting back one application at a time you used often and see it they work and if the utilities will tune them
down if they cause problems. The LG will get better but with some limitations.
LG and Verizon have a problem with what was a great phone.turned bad overnight.

After loading Lion on my laptop, iTunes is trying to start automatically all the time. Problem does not occur on desktop with Lion.

I recently loaded Lion on both my laptop and desktop. On the laptop only, iTunes is now trying to load automatically literallly all the time! What can I do to stop the madness???

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

I have subscribed to convert PDF to Excel and Word, I have followed your instructions and I get an error message all the time.

I have subscribed to convert PDF file to an Excel or Word . I have followed your instructions to do so but I always get an error message. I have chated with one representative who suggested that I wait 24h before I try it again implying that my subscription is in process. the time span has elapsed and when i try it, I still get the error message. HELP ME or REFUND me the money

"an error message" really doesn't tell us much.

I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system to an external hard drive utilizing the Time Machine application. when I am doing this, will the data on the external drive that I am using be erased?

I have an Apple Macbook and will be backing up the entire system in order to upgrade to a newer OS. I will be using an external hard drive to do this and there is already data on it. To complete the backup, i will be using the Time Machine application. Does this application wipe out all of the existing data on the external hard drive, or will it create a new "folder" for the backup?
thank you

No, but as steve359 states you should use a dedicated hard drive for backups. It you need a temporary backup then you can use the drive provided it has sufficient space for all your data on the hard drive.
When Time Machine finds that the drive has data on it already it may decide to erase the drive before continuing, which is another reason to use a dedicated drive.

My time machine says it is full after backing up 1.5tb from my hard drive. The time machine itself is 3 Tb. Should I reset it?

I have recently acquired a new time machine 3 tb. After backing up succesfully twice (My backup is circa 1.5tb) I get an error message saying there is not enough room to continue the back up. Maybe it is writing the back up as a different computer each time? How do I check and create space?
Thanks

Seems to be very odd.
BTW Time Machine is the software in the computer. What you bought is a 3TB Time Capsule.
Both the TM application and the airport utility will show you the free space.
If the freespace is reading wrongly as indeed it sounds to be.. welcome to Mavericks which I guess you are running.. (not old snow leopard as per your profile).
Reboot the TC .. reboot the computer.. is there now enough space?
Check by using Finder.. open the TC disk and check the size of all the sparsebundles you can find. There should be one, unless you have multiple computers.
I also think you would know if it backed up twice the whole 1.5TB because it would take days and days to do it.

I have a PDF file which displays an error message. It's fine, how do I get rid of the message?

I have combined a new PDF (printed from a Word file) and an older PDF (from an InDesign document). I see an error message on the first page of the older PDF. It says:
Could not find the XObject named 'Fm0'.
I click OK to clear the error, and there is nothing wrong with the file. I have to put this into an unforgiving PLM system with lots of approvers, and someone is sure to object to seeing this error message. What can I do to get rid of it?
Thank you - Carol Setinek

I googled PDF Optimizer and there were several free PDF Optimizer downloads listed. They appeared to be from different companies; FyTek, cvisiontech, softpedia, etc. Is there one that is better for getting rid of of my error message?
I am familiar with the concept of preflighting files; but I don't have any software that does this. Can you suggest one?
Thank you for your helpful response. - Carol

Why does Firefox open 3 Tabs all the time when I open it? One is my home page but the other 2 are about plug in being installed. How do I make that stop?

When I double click Firefox to open it, 3 Tabs automatically open. One is my home page but the other 2 are about plug ins being successfully installed. I want for only my home page to open. How do I make this stop?

But there aren't any symbols. It's just set to http://www.yahoo.com
And every time I open Firefox, it opens with 3 Tabs, one of which IS Yahoo but the other 2 a regarding plug ins being successfully updated. I've even gone as far as to uninstall those plug ins and it still opens with 3. About ready to uninstall Firefox and stay with IE

When online and asked to fill in phone no., the iPhone presents a numeric keyboard that does not have space, hyphen or parenthesis keys. How to get a full keyboard to come up all the time?

When asked to input my phone number on some online forms (Yelp, donation), a numeric keyboard comes up on my phone. This keyboard has 0-9 characters, + # symbols, and the words "pause" and "wait.". There is no option for parentheses for area code, no hyphen option, no period option and no space option. As a result, numbers run in a single row. I then get the message "Invalid phone number" or "Invalid Format.". The sites then won't allow me to continue. This numeric keyboard is useless. How do I get either a numeric keyboard with the needed features or, better yet, get the alpha-numeric pad we usually see? This seems so weird on Apple's part.

Does anyone know anything about onsite specifics?
I'm wondering where the onsite warranty can be in effect. Like, can it be used in ANY city in the US? Can it be used only in metrololitan areas? What is a metro area in Lenovo's eyes?
Does anyone know where I can get better and accurate info on the onsite warranty? Like a coverage map would be very helpful. Because why should I spend the money on it, if I can't access it?
Looking forward to more info...thanks.
There is no coverage map as such.
I live in what is considered a rural area and had techs driving 60-70 miles one way to get to me, never an issue.
Obviously, YMMV.
In my not-so-modest experience, both onsite and accidental damage upgrades are worth every penny if one intends to keep their ThinkPads for an extended period of time.
Good luck.

Hello Catflow,

10.0.01 ver. doesn't sign-in automatically i look up password manager, it seems it saves usernames and passwords, when i visit websites i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time.

10.0.01 version doesn't sign-in automatically... i look up password manager, it seems to it saves usernames and passwords, when i try to visit that website i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time... it happened after mozilla updated itself... please help about it.. (i dont have problems like this in Opera browser)
mozilla fills user name when i click but after that it asks for main password (whats the purpose of remembering passwords if it will ask for main password)
by the way main password for password manager is of course useful but it şs useful whenever i want to use it not all the time i open mozilla .
and not all the time i open a website or forum which i often use...
there were no problems before it updated itself...
please tell me the solution

my problem is not related with using main password or not...
in former versions of firefox i was automatically signed in to websites without any click... it wasnt asking me to sign-in (because my usernames and passwords were remembered-and saved in password manager)
in this version they are remembered again but i have to write first 2-3 letters of my username and it remembers my username then it remembers password...
for example when i clicked twitter.com my account and my homepage as automatically opened, but in this version when i click twitter.com it opens the sign-in page and i write first 2 letters of my user name it remembers name and password and then i signin
(difference i was at where i want to sign in with one click--- but in new version 1click for webpage-1 click for clicking to username are-1-2 letter writing to find my user name-1 click to remember password-1 click to sign in) an addition: also if i am using main password i am entering main password and click to sign-in
This can be little problem to u, but it is really annoying problem, 9-10 clicks more for each webpage which i wanted mozilla to remember my usernames and passwords... it also asks main password if i am using...
if i want to visit 5-6 different websites it means 70-80 clicks more and 50-60 letters typing according to your main password .. (in opera and mozillas former versions it is just 5-6 clicks)
so main problem is the cookies were remembered in all the sessions but after it updated to v.10.0.1 expiry date of cookies of same websites that i visit are just for one session... it is not related with the websites and their servers that i visit because if so how can Opera remembers all the time...

After visiting a website that was a pdf file (which didn't load -crashed), Firefox now constantly causes calls to my hard drive all the time when open.
