Ask small questions that don't deserve their own thread. [HUH?]

I'm sure there are a lot of tiny questions that don't deserve their very own thread. Ask these here and somebody that hopefully knows what they're talking about will answer them!
Here are mine:
Restarting X (ctrl+alt+backspace) doesn't work with openbox. When I try to, on the vc I see the xorg log reporting an error about openbox already running. When I go to vc7 there's nothing there, so openbox did exit. How do I fix this?
pm-util's resume from suspend doesn't work. It goes into suspend mode correctly, but when I resume the motherboard beeps 4 times and crashes. Diagnosing this is very difficult, given that I see no resume entries on the pm-util log, just the suspend entires. Where should I start?

Restarting x is handled by the session manager (KDM , GDM etc.) without one, ctl-alt-backspace just stops X
by the way.. isn't this what IRC is for?

Can I create an icon for an app tab so that it is useful for the many tabs that don't generate their own?

It's very simple. I've started using app tabs, and my first three are fine. Now I've created an app tab from my tab to the website http://www.thomasyoungcentre.org/index.html.
However, its app tab only appears as a white page, which isn't very memorable, especially as I find that some other websites I use have the same blank app tab. So I wonder if I can make a little custom icon of some kind to identify this website for me on its app tab. Alternatively, what do I need to tell the website managers that will enable this feature for us.

You must realize that the quality of sound has been compromised by the very fact of compression and equipment. You are never likely to experience the nature of a live event by listening on an iPod. The best solution is to get a better quality of earbuds/ earphones/ headphones to improve the playback experience. The higher quality headphones such as Bose, Sennheiser, Sony have capabilities to counter ambient interference ( Bose noise-cancelling for example), and they have a better quality speaker than the Apple earbuds. This standard issue bit of kit is more of a courtesy to iPod buyers so that they will have something right out of the box in order to listen to their music but they are not the highest audio quality. The best audio quality will cost every bit as much as, or even more than, the cost of an iPod. As for turning up the volume, that is a foolish undertaking that can have long-term consequences on your hearing. Tinnitus cannot be cured! You will live with it unto your last days.

HT204266 Itunes store says I have never made purchases from this computer (I have, many times) and is asking security questions that I don't know the answers to. What next?

Hi All! 1st time I have had this problem: Itunes store says I have never made purchases from this computer (I have, many times) and is asking security questions that I don't know the answers to. What next? If I keep missing the questions, it is threatening to lock me out of my account. I am sad.

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset, which can be done by clicking here and picking a method for your country, or if that's not an option, by filling out and submit this form.

I want to buy the Craigslist pro app and when I sign into iTItem as described and fast shipping! Aunes with my Apple ID and password ( both of which I know) it then asks security questions that I never chose ( or are even options to chose) in my profile.

If you don't know their answers then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

TS3297 This software asks security questions that you never setup, real bad software!

Beware, after updating to the new version of itunes and trying to purchase a song it thinks it is a new computer and asks security questions that you never setup. Real bad! Still do not know how to reset security questions with new version of Itunes.
Any Ideas?

You don't need to buy only from the App Store. If only you knew how to change settings in the security pane of your Mac... You would know that you can change this setting. But of course, you don't need a "babysitter" to make things easy for you.

TS4436 Seems to me this is a bunch of self serving crap. I have many small cameras that don't do this, in the same specs.

HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

I want to buy some music and It is asking some question that I do not have any idea the answer

When I am trying to buy some music iTunes is asking me about some questions that I do not have any idea....

Hello Brandy,
Unfortunately, you can't change or etrieve them by yourself as you forgot the original ones. You may contact iTunes store support though. Here's what you can do:
https://expresslane.apple.com/
Follow these steps:
All Products and Services > iTunes > iTunes Store > Account Management > iTunes Store account security
Answer the questions and if required sign in with your Apple ID and password - same one you used to log in on this support forum.
You will find an option to send an email to Apple on that page. Indicate that you forgot the answers to your security questions and wait for iTunes support to reply.
I hope this helps.

TS1368 I am being asked security questions that I have never answered.
