Closing window will mess up my computer?

I don't know how I opened it, but I'm getting a message that if I close a Terminal window on my desktop it will terminate 'login'.
What does that mean? How do I get rid of this?

That message means that the Terminal is open, and that the login command is currently either running or waiting for user input. To get out of it, press the Control and Z keys, and then close the Terminal.

Having multiple tabs open in one window, and then opening a new window and closing it, will close the newly opened window, but it will want to close the other original window with the multiple tabs as well.

This only happens if the original window has multiple tabs, and the new window has only ONE tab at the moment you close it.
Also, the problem only occurs when TWO windows of firefox are open. So opening up a 3rd window, and then closing it, will not give you any problems. The interaction occurs between two windows of firefox only.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

In place upgrade to 2012 R2 fails, Setup can't continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of windows will be restored.

I have multiple Windows Server 2008 R2 machines in which I am attempting to do an in place upgrade to 2012 R2, and it is repeatedly failing.
Setup gets all the way through, and it says Getting ready, followed immediately by an error saying: Setup can't continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored.

I have found several posts, many discussing how disk space can be an issue, I have increased disk space so it shouldn't be an issue. I have also made sure the only only partition on disk 0 is C: and system reserved.
I have disabled all unessential services and went through and removed all unessential applications, and extras. Still getting the error.

Any ideas on how I can resolve this, or further troubleshoot?

I also had this error: "Setup cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored."
trying to do a in-place upgrade of a Domain Controller Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2.
The problem was the separated System Reserved Partition. After I removed using this instructions:

The upgrade ran ok, and now have my DC as Windows 2012 R2.
Hope that helps!.

I have an HP Officejet Pro 7580 similar to the 8600 you have and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it wouldn't work. HP support site said download updates for Mountain Lion from App Store not their site so I went to software update but there were NO UPDATES FOR 10.8. Tried a million things and could not get printer to work. So I restored back to Lion figuring at least printer worked then only now I can't get it to work with old settings either. I am sick to death of claims by Apple and peripheral manufacturers that everything is compatible all you have to do is get updates well in this case THERE ARE NONE TO BE GOT and I don't have time to **** about trying to find 'work arounds'. There shouldnt be a need for work-arounds. Unless the updates are ready DONT release the new OS. You shouldn't have to be an IT tech to make basic things like printing work. I see also the HP 8600 is even sold by appstore so there is no reason why it shouldn't work with minimum fuss.

In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked

In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked.
Is this this the intended behavior? And if so is there any way to disable it?
Thanks

Middle-clicking a tab closes it, while middle-clicking an empty area of the tab bar opens a new tab.
Different behavior is probably caused by a tab-related add-on like Tab Mix Plus. If you're not sure if you have such an add-on, restart Firefox with add-ons disabled and check if the problem still occurs.

I had the same problem. The fix I found was to open itunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT), click Edit, Preferences, and then the "Store" tab. Uncheck the box that says "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases". This got me running, but unfortunately I have a movie on the cloud that I now can't see.

Windows 8 - Photoshop CS5.1 crashes upon startup. Error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working.A problem caused by the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Hello!
I've had the student version of the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium software for several years now.
When I received my Windows 8 computer I installed the software with no issue.
Last week when I tried opening Photoshop I get the following error: "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working.A problem caused by the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I deactivated and uninstalled the entire Creative Suite then reinstalled it. I am able to open the other programs, but still receive the same message for Photoshop.
What can I do?

I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
It appears this forum is dead?!
Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem...

Firefox will NOT start, deleting and reinstalling will start as last step but once Firefox is closed it will NOT restart.

Both browsers (Firefox 21 & IE) installed on my 64-bit Widows XP desktop refuse to start either from clicking the desktop icon, the start bar menu, or the executables themselves. What does happen is that all icons disappear from the screen for some 15-30 seconds, then the icons are returned to the screen, and the last informative message displayed from the system tray at start up is repeated.
Deleting Firefox and reinstalling will start the browser as the last step, but when the new copy is closed it will not start. Also just rerunning the installation download without deleting Firefox will "Upgrade" and start as a last step but when the new copy is closed it can not be restarted. Running restore on the new copy has on apparent effect on the ultimate inability to restart after closing.
I only tried the IE browser after being unable to start Firefox (its ordinarily only used by the MS update procedure) and have not investigated either reinstalling or repairing it.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Firefox isn't restoring last session, holding on to old closed windows...

I have my Firefox browser set to restore my previous session. However, when the browser crashes or my computer is turned off and then back on, it will only restore a single blank browser window. I know a fix around this, though - go to History and Restore Closed Windows. However, for the past three weeks, when I've done this the only windows that are restored are from my session three weeks ago - tabs that were closed get opened, and new tabs that were opened are now missing. Clearing my history and restarting my computer have not helped. Does anyone know why this is occurring and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

OS X 10.4.6 Messes up my computer

I've been having lots of problems with my computer recently. I've been fiddling around with it for the past few hours, and I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is.
OS X 10.4.6
I've reformatted twice, and after every time I've installed OS X 10.4.6, the computer has crashed. The 1st time it removed a bunch of stuff from my menu bar and would not allow me to open most of my programs.
The 1st reformat I installed all of the available updates at the same time, and the computer refused to even get to the screen where the spinning circle-thing ( best way I can describe it) would show up.
The 2nd reformat I installed all of the updates EXCEPT 10.4.6, and it restarted twice fine, I could get on the internet and use iTunes Radio, etc.... After I installed 10.4.6, it refuses to boot completely again.
I'm all but sure that it's OS X 10.4.6 that's messing up my computer. I have no idea what to do now. If anyone has any recommendations, I would love to hear them. I really don't want to have to buy a new laptop.
Powerbook G4 1.33Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 80GB Harddrive

Well now that it is being really realized . . .
I have spent more time trouble shooting in 10.4.x than any OS. I spend 85% of my time now trying to figure things out or trying to fix missing menubar items whose settings reset or change themselves; resetting Sys Prefs that aren't sticking; networking problems; living through spinning beachballs of death when just trying to opening a new window; and much more, than using my machines for what I bought them for.
As part of trouble shooting I have spoken to almost every developer for every application that I use and/or beta test, doing due diligence, and in our conversations a general theme is surfacing with several devs saying that it is the new and growing topic at the developer conferences. And that is "OS10.4.x on anything less than a G5 is not working well". From the increased traffic on the boards from people that are in G4 and lower gear, I would believe this.
In past months I have spent a ton of time moving people back to 10.3.9 because when they upgraded to 10.4.x they started having nothing but problems including loss in speed and responsiveness. But not experiencing this in 10.3.x. For the weekend I'm on a 17" Powerbook to try anything and everything I can. I just did a clean install of 10.4 hopefully making it to 10.4.3 and with 10.3.6 on another partition I noticed a dynamic difference in speed and responsiveness switching between the two. This was the same on my G4 FW800 with further reductions at each next level up to 10.4.6. All installation practices and protocols have ALWAYS been meticulously observed. All installs were clean and up to as far as we were going checking progressive performance prior to the installation of ANY third party applications. The clean OS installs were backed up to revert to for the individual install and testing of third party apps. Then a complete evalution at install. Personally another blow was the latest Office 11.2.3 update that really trashed Office 2004.
So basically what I am hearing from those that are making software for this OS is that there are problems and more so for those of us that are "not G5 and up". When I go through the many forums that I track, I make note of the gear that people are using and G5's are having similar problems also, but not as much as G4's and lesser.
It'll only be a matter of time before more of this surfaces. What with this as a growing topic at the developer conferences.
Those sceptics say what you will, but we'll just have to see. There's too many developers that are tired of having their software unduly blamed, and they are starting to speak out.

Windows will not recognize my ipod

My windows will not recognize my ipod. I tried running the latest Ipod Updater several times and received the following error message: Ipod requires Windows 2000(SP) or Windows XP, Please update your software and try again. I have Windows XP so I'm a bit confused to why I'm receiving that error message.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I already tried "re-starting" my ipod and that didn't work either.

Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various ‘generic’ solutions that you can try in an effort to correct your problem. One should work. These are listed in simplest to more involved order (usually).
First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
Also See:
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes“Strange iPod Behavior within Windows”
If you are getting a ‘Missing Drivers’ message, try this:
1. Go to http://www.driverguide.com and register (free)
2. Download ‘usbstor.sys’ & ‘usbstor.inf’ to your PC and place them in your i386 Folder
3. Update both drivers by selecting the two files you just downloaded
4. Reboot computer
5. Open iTunes and then connect you iPod
If all the above fails, you may have a Virus, Malware or SpyWare problem.
If you do find that your Device Manager is blank, you should probably check up on this issue first: No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It
