AS of this AM, Firefox initializes with BING rather than my normal Google. I can't permanently reset this.

Beginning this morning (6/6/2011), when I opened Firefox (my default browser) I get a BING start-up screen. I don't use BING.
I have tried to reset this start-up screen using your help. I go to google.com, then I move its icon (to the left of the Google address) over to the icon in the little search bar. Firefox changes to google. However when I close Firefox and then open the browser, Bing starts over. I have never tried to use multiple start up homepages in Firefox.

ThreadReaper object used with finalizer rather than finalizer on Timer?

Timer class has threadReaper object used with finalizer rather than finalizer on Timer itself, can anyone explain the following snippet. what is the advantage of keeping the finalize in its references rathe rthan in the original object itself.
     * This object causes the timer's task execution thread to exit
     * gracefully when there are no live references to the Timer object and no
     * tasks in the timer queue. It is used in preference to a finalizer on
     * Timer as such a finalizer would be susceptible to a subclass's
     * finalizer forgetting to call it.
    private Object threadReaper = new Object() {
        protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
            synchronized(queue) {
                thread.newTasksMayBeScheduled = false;
                queue.notify(); // In case queue is empty.
    };

Now I am getting something. If some-one subclass the Timer class and they forgot to call the finalize on the Timer... So they have done in this way. Thank u kayaman.Just in case you're interested, that pattern is called a 'finalizer guardian'. You may find it on Google.

My tabs are seperated into groups. Once I accidentaly opened a site in a new window (not a new tab). After that, I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now, I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

I have my tabs seperated into several groups (for example, bank tabs, music tabs, social life tabs and so on). I do this with the help of the button in the top left corner. While I was surfing the internet, I accidentaly opened a site not in a new tab (as I usually do), but in a new window. The new window was without all the grouped tabs, which I had in the previous Firefox window. And then I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

I am having same problem with apple tv need 4.4 version and can not find solution this a brand new product out of box yesterday why would it not already have updated version. I am getting frustrated that I can not get this mirroring icon to work. I have tried all suggestions in this thread and nothing works. I also hooked up to laptop through iTunes with micro USB nothing!!!

The new appletv software came out 2 or 3 days ago, how would Apple get it on the device in the box in a store?
Why don't ou update the appletv software?

I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Airport time capsule 2 TB. All is connected and Wi-Fi is working but light still flashes amber rather than solid green. I have tried to reset but this still happens. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to?

Airport time capsule 2 TB. All is connected and Wi-Fi is working but light still flashes amber rather than solid green. I have tried to reset but this still happens. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to?

You want to see a green light on the Time Capsule.
Once you have set up the Time Capsule initially, a flashing amber light indicates that the Time Capsule has a message for you....possibly about a network condition or notice of an update that is available.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the amber dot and another window will appear to provide the current status....along with suggested actions to remedy the flashing amber light.

Can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

You need to select the playlist on the shuffle, when you play it. If you do not select a particular playlist, it plays from the All Songs list. When you set the switch to play in order (not shuffle), the All Songs list plays in alphabetical order.
To select a playlist, use the VoiceOver feature. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver.

When you select a playlist on the shuffle, it should play in playlist order (when the switch is set to play in order).

This is part of Lion's Resume feature (I assume you are on Lion).
A couple of things you can do: System Preferences>General and deselect 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps'.
Also when you shutdown or restart make sure the following is unticked:

Hi, Nubz!
Yes, I just saw that, and am still chuckling.
Maybe that will mollify the Jive gods?

Firefox is forcing Acrobat file to be saved, rather than opening it. How can this be fixed?

When I visit a website that has a .pdf file on it and I try to download the file, rather than opening up to be read, Firefox asks where it should be saved. It does not directly open the file for viewing as it had done last week. Thanks for any advice to address this problem.

I finally found the right fix in the reset section of Check Firefox settings. I clicked on "Help" and clicked on "Troubleshooting Information". Under "Application Basics", I clicked on "Open Containing Folder". A window with my profile files opened. I selected the "mimetypes.rdf" file and deleted it. I then closed the Mozilla program, rebooted my computer and then reopened Mozilla Firefox. Voila - It returned "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" in my settings. All is well.

AS of this AM, Firefox initializes with BING rather than my normal Google. I can't permanently reset this.
