Desktop shortcuts to web pages don't have the correct icon, can this be corrected?
I just upgraded from IE to Firefox and it's really working well. The only problem is all the shortcuts to websites on my desktop have the Firefox icon. They had their correct icons under IE how can I get the correct icons back? My computer is running Windows XP
If you're using Internet Explorer as your default browser, you can create a shortcut via drag & drop and it will take on the web site's favicon if there is one. FireFox just gives it the default icon for the browser.
It's certainly not a deal breaker (this is one of the VERY few things that's better on IE) but it would be helpful if FF's drag & drop shortcuts could also take on the site's favico automatically.
This add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/9548 or cor-el's solution are ok for those whose shortcuts are more static in nature. However, I often drag a shortcut to the desktop for a site that I'll visit later on (because my bookmarks are a mess LOL), but will eventually delete the shortcut after visiting the site again, usually within several days. In my case, it's not worth the extra effort to manually save and assign the favicon for each shortcut, so it would be nice if this could happen automatically like it does with IE.

Web pages don't fill the entire monitor screen and words overlay
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Of the apps you've mentioned, here are their sizes my iPhone 5 under iOS 8.1.2 as reported under Settings/General/Usage/Manage Storage:
Podcasts: 8.4 MB
iBooks: 1.1 MB
Health: 148 KB
I'm curious where you got the values of "approx 350 Mb each"? These apps are now embedded into iOS and AFAIK, their app sizes are not reported as user-downloaded apps are. -

How come I don't have the music icon in my store, so that I can't syncronise music but only apps & books with Icloud?
Airtunes? I assume you mean iTunes match? The little cloud symbols?
If so, you need to make sure it is turned on in your phone and in your computer. -

Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html -
I currently have a MackBook with Photoshop CS6 installed. This came with the laptop when I bought it on eBay, therefore, I don't have the serial number for the software. Can I still transfer the Photoshop CS6 from this laptop onto a new one?
Thanks
JackNo.
Whoever sold you the laptop should have removed the software first, or gone through the proper process to transfer the license to you. Chances are that they used it to obtain an upgrade, in which case it would not even to eligible to be transferred.
