Almost every time I open a new page, and that page has an ad with movement or video, the browser page hides behind other open pages. This is really annoying.
I don't see any evidence that this is malware. For instance i opened a page that was for a major newspaper from Dallas. As i reached my cursor to the page, it hid behind the other pages, and i had to now reach down to my taskbar to find it again. When i did, i saw an ad on the page with movement (flash?). Anyway, the ad was for breast cancer awareness, and was made by that newspaper, which is why i think it has nothing to do with malware. Same thing happens everyday with normal sites like Yahoo. Anytime an ad has movement or video, the page is only visible for a second, then hides behind the others. This has really become a major annoyance.
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

My iPhone 4s is locked in speaker mode where it tells me every time I touch a new app and it outlines the app I touch and requires me to touch the screen twice in order to advance. Please help me remove this setting
Explore Settings > General > Accessibility. Around page 128 of the User Guide is probably appropriate.
The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook. -

Download and install the latest iTunes. Once you satisfy that requirement the warning will go away.

My Lightroom 4 wouldn't open. A computer tech worked on my computer to clean it all up, etc. however Lightroom still wouldn't open. He opened a new catalog and that will work, however I can't find my old one with all my photographs. When I click on open catalogs, it goes to documents and I can't find any catalogs there.
What happens if you try File->Open Recent? What happens if you have your operating system search all of your hard disks for files whose name ends with .LRCAT?

I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer??
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -
Enhance security questions on 2 sites. I have to answer them every time I go out of firefox and back into the internet. If I continue using the internet and go back into the sites I only have to put in my user name and password
Google and Bing are '''Search engines''', where Firefox and IE are '''''web browsers'''''. To the right of the Location bar, where web addresses are typed, is the Search bar. Selecting a Search engine to use in the Search bar only controls the Search bar.
It sounds like your problem is with MSN being your '''Homepage''' and you want to change it to something else. See this support article: <br />

I recently bought a new computer becouse my old computer crashed. Now I can not sync my itunes account. I get an error when I try. It says that itunes will erase my phone content and replace with what is on the phone. I do not want to lose all my stuff so what do I do?
This is how it works.
Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
I now have about 14 copies of each mail, seems like it does not recognize that it has already downloaded it.
Hi, well, POP3 is not designed for keeping the mails in the inbox on the server permanently. Because while checking for new mails, to my knowledge it needs to go through all mails on the server's inbox to check whether it's already downloaded or not.
For this purpose, there is a client-side cache. The size of this cache can be configured in the following way via prefs.js:
user_pref("mail.server.server1.numHdrsToKeep", 10000);
I do not know the default value, but you could set it to e.g. 10000 (cache for 10000 mails). You have to check in your case which server it is (server1, server 2 etc.) according to the other entries in the config file.
However, you should not keep mails until "infinity", I do not know the maximum possible value for this, and I guess it slows down your download of new mails with increasing number of mails.
I have to admit, that I also use the setting above to increase the cache of my POP3 caches to have the mails available on my PC as well as on my smartphone's mail client. However, what I have done in order not to blow it up: In the web-based config of my mail hoster (GMX) I have specified that mails shall be automatically deleted from my inbox on the server after 3 month. This constantly keeps the number of mails far below 10000 . . . -
I just bought a new IPhone 5-had tp update the operating system to be able to sync it with my axisting phone which was on 6.1 (new phone was on 6.0.1). So the new phone is now synced to an old version of my old phone that was on ITunes...how do I get it to sync to the newest version of my old phone that is on iCloud??
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from. -
I've said it ALL in my original statement.
Either YOU cannot connect to the server to which you must connect, or something is wrong on MY END.
I don't have a lot of time. Please look into this and either fix it or tell me what to do to fix it.
Thank you.
John SimecekIf there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 26.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I have a new 21" iMac to replace a 6-year old iMac 24. My Time Capsule has the iDVD app saved (?) and I can find it, but I can't figure out how to move it to my new iMac that does not have the app. How to do this?
You are probably better to install it from ilife disk.
Can't Find a update or latest Version of iDVD to Download or a Compatibility to Yosemite -

ICal un-publishes every time I write a new event
Every time I write a new event in iCal it un-publishes it, even if I check the box for "publish events automatically." What is wrong? What do I have to do so I don't have to keep publishing it every time?
Greetings,
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps. -
Initramfs unpacking failed on boot almost EVERY TIME
My sister has been bugging me about this for weeks...
Rebooting from the live CD and redoing 'mkinitcpio -p linux' does work, but not all the time. This is a really annoying issue and I wish that it would be fixed! Can anyone help me?
http://i2.minus.com/iYOzMZQRsVnjj.jpg
Addition: There have been other errors similar to initramfs. There's also one that mentions magic, but we get that once in a while.
MOD EDIT: Please refrain from posting large images
Last edited by fukawi2 (2013-06-21 21:30:38)That's not much to go on, is it? Do you mean this happens almost every time you boot? Almost every time you boot following a kernel upgrade?
Does mkinitcpio give errors?
What is in mkinitcpio.conf?
Etc.
