All of the sudden I am getting two windows when clicking on a link in Facebook. How can I stop this from happening? Please HELP

Today I discovered that when I was in facebook, and clicked on a link, anywhere, I would get a blank window and then another window would open up and have the links information on it. Things are really slow with this happening. I've checked out the popup tab, and I don't have it checked. There is nothing in the list either. PLEASE help me get rid of this problem. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it. Would downloading an older version help?? Thank you for any help you can give me.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

The way I sync mine is to have an 'master' folder on my computer, and underneath it I have separate folders for the photos that I want to sync to the iPad - I then select the master folder in iTunes and the folders underneath it are synced to the iPad, each getting their own album.
There is some info on syncing folders on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Under the older iOS, when you opened a blank Safari page, Bookmarks automatically opened. However, with the newer iOS, this does not happen anymore. What iPhone and version of iOS do you have?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out at times and I loose all the pages I had open. How can I stop this from happening?

Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out, when I reopen it all of my pages are gone. How do I stop this from happening?

But if iit won't stay open, then it's quitting unexpectedly which is the same as a crash.
There has to be a reason for that which a crash report should reveal.

HT201210 This is the second time my iphone has had to restore, how can I stop this from happening?

My phone completely freezes and I get the itunes update icon. Can I change a setting on my phone to stop this from happening as I am unable to use my phone at all when it does this and sometimes when I have gone to update I just keep getting error messages.

There is no setting to stop this from happening, which means there is a major problem with your iPhone and the reason you can't use your iPhone at the time.
If you restored from your iPhone's backup, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup. If this occurs again shortly thereafter, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

You should be able to open both accounts.
I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
(With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

When I import new home videos into my iTunes and edit the names it creates duplicate Library's on my Apple Tv. How can I stop this from happening each time I edit a name in iTunes home videos??

I am having an issue with duplicate Libraries showing up in my Home Sharing "Home Videos". It happens when I import home videos into iTunes and change the names of the files. How do I avoid this from happening and delete the duplicate libraries?

I upgraded to iTunes 11 and I got all of the songs on my families' other computers. How can I stop this from happening?

I upgraded to iTunes 11 and I got all of the songs on my families' other computers. We all share the same AppleID, that's why this happened in the first place; but, I do not want their songs on my computer, how can I disable this without deleting the songs forever or making a new AppleID?

I did not upgrade to the newest version of Itunes on my PC. I just now went to my Library were Music is listed. Under that is Movies, TV Shows, ItunesU, etc. When I opened my music list, each song was in numerical order. If I have the songs listed alphabetically, they are in numerical order. If I change my listing to album or whatever, the first song is listed in numerical order just as I showed in my original question. They are also numbered on my Playlists. I have my favorites in two different playlists. One of them was minus a song. I was able to see which one was missing because they were in numerical order. I know I could have just copied to correct one into the incorrect one and just skipped the duplicates, but I chose to do it this way.
So, the songs are listed numerically in my music folder under Library on my older version of Itunes. But, on my newer version, they are not listed numerically under music. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?????
Thanks so much for your help. I wish they would just leave things alone. I would gladly go back to the older version on my other computer, but????
Again thanks.

Two instances of Firefox open when I click on a link within my email client. How can I stop this from happening?

I am running on an iMac OS X 10.6.3 using Firefox 3.6.3 as my default browser and I use Postbox 1.1.5 as my email client. Anytime I click on a link within an email message two instances of Firefox open, one with my home page and one with the site the link was meant for. This happens only when Firefox is not already open. If Firefox is running and a link is clicked on it opens normally within the open instance of Firefox. I have contacted Postbox and am currently awaiting a response to see if they have any suggestions. While this is not a serious issue it is a bit annoying. I have Firefox set to open new links in tabs not new instances of windows, so it shouldn't be that. Any help in getting this to stop would be greatly appreciated.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure, it's been going on for quite awhile.

That is a bug on Mac.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links
