Despite home page set as default,prefs file being deleted. (twice) it still opens in welcome window, alongside is my home page tab,add on checking doesnt finish .

everytime I open firefox. checking for add ons flashes up and disappears then welcome page opens, my home page tab is alongside it. I have uninstalled firefox. deleted the prefs file. instructed my privacy programme to ignore firefox all to no avail. I know I can edit user.js but not sure how. I can open it in notepad as instructed in help files but have no idea what to do next and what to edit.

Do you have a file user.js in the Firefox Profile Folder?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Such a file isn't there by default, so if it is there then either you or other software or a Firefox extension has created it.

Home button opens a new window instead of just returning active tab to home

Running firefox 9.0.1 on Snow Leopard. After browsing for a short time clicking on the home button opens a new window instead of just returning theactive tab to home

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Issue with .cp file being deleted automatically!

My content team has complained about entire .cp files being
deleted without them deleting it and not being in their recycle
folder etc (3 different complaints). They couldn’t find them
anywhere, including the recent project list in the captivate
dashboard when you first open it. I was skeptical when they told me
this until this evening when it happened to me. This is a HUGE
issue, especially considering I have spent 10hrs on this file and
just published it to production and now it needs to be redone.
I checked with my developers to confirm it was the same
circumstances as mine and it is. It seems to occur if you are
closing a project and while it is closing, if you happen to be in
Windows Explorer with the closing .cp file name highlighted in the
folder. It disappears! I watched it with my own eyes. I checked my
recycle bin and it is not there. I checked the recent project pane
and it is not available for me to select.
Has anyone else seen this? If you haven’t, make sure
you do not do the above to make it happen!

How do I unlock an InDesign CC file that thinks it is still open?

My team works on a directly on the server with Macs running both Lion and Mountain Lion and Adobe CC. Sometimes InDesign crashes and leaves the file in the open state and renders the file unable to open, copy or duplicate. Previous versions of InDesign would at least allow you to copy the file that it thought was still open. Now with CC you cannot do anything with that file. Even deleting the .lDLK file in the terminal does not release that file. I know that it is a protection, but it is killing files.

Approx 700 Files being deleted from file server (server 2003) without permission

Hello,
We had a problem with files being deleted from our file server.
We lost approx. 700 files across approx. 40 directories from the file date codes between Nov. 30 2014 and Dec 3, 2014. All files before this date were not touch.
Our Dec. 1 backup had all of the files. Our Dec. 5 backup only have files before Sept. 1 2014 and after Dec. 3, 2014.
My question is how can this happen without going to each directory and sorted my date cade and delecting files from this date range.
Does anyone have any other ideals on how this could of happen?
Thank You
Bert

How can I set a default save file for scans using the Solution Center?

Using Windows 7 - 64 bit. HP Photosmart Premuim C-309a All-In-One Printer.
Because of a Windows crash, I had to install a new drive and reload Windows. I also reloaded other software like the HP Solution Center & Drivers. My problem is that I can't find how to set a default folder for my scans. This is NOT mentioned in the user manual but it was originally accomplished by HP Tech Support when the printer was new. Can anyone relate how to set default folders for my scans?
Thanks.
Tango
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here is a document on how to scan through Windows 7.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03476857
Click either solution center or the icon of the printer on your desktop. Here select "Scanner Actions" (or the analogous selection). When the window pops up from the HP software it should provide you with options for file type (.tiff, .pdf, .jpg) as well as resolution and media size. Here on this page there is also an option for you to go to the advanced options. Using this you can alter the default safe folder.
Let me know if that helps you out!

How to export/Import default prefs and object styles with no project open?

I would like to export my preferences and object styles with no projects open and them import them on my team's machines so that no matter what project we create, we all start from the SAME set of defaults. When I open captivate and check both with no projects open, there is no ability to import/export. I know I could open a project and export, but then importing is an issue.
I'm using CP8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
Help?
Thx.
Lori

After a fresh install I start by editing the Preferences globally, that means by using Edit, Preferences before opening any project (like switching to Expert UI, default language, replacing feedback captions by shapes). There is indeed no way to import preferences from a specific file. I will do the same for some object styles (like creating a blank Highlight box for audio objects). You can only export/import from and to a project, same like for all Library assets.
However the Object styles: they are part of the default theme, along with their theme colors, master slides and skin. You cannot edit everything without having a project open. I would recommend to create a custom theme in a project, in which you have all the wanted object styles. Changing the theme colors (you can have a custom theme color palette) will change partially colors of the objects. Once you set that theme as default theme, you'll have all the object styles in the projects that use the default theme.
To transfer Preferences, custom themes to another machine, maybe this article could help you out. It was written for a different purpose, but you'll find the location of a lot of files that you could transfer in this post:

I no longer have the option under 'File' on the main menu to open a new window.

In the past(recent past) I was able to open a new window of Firefox by licking on File then there was an option to open a new window(session) of Firefox. At some point which I am unsure of that option is no longer there. Does anyone know why or how I can correct or fix it?
I'd very much appreciate the help because I miss the feature very much!

If you do not see the menu bar with the File menu then see [[Menu bar is missing]]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can also try "Reset toolbars and controls" on the [[Safe mode]] start window

How to open a new window that's not a page

can you create a hyperlink, let's say from a photo of a person, that opens in a seperate window which is not another page?
if that's not possible, can you create the same hyperlink, and have it open as a new page, but not have the page listed as it's own button. meaning it is invisible unless you navigate from the page with the photo/hyperlink?

You can do both...

Open a new window when branching to another page in the application

I have an existing Apex 4.2 application that uses buttons to direct users to other pages in the application
The users want to be able to open a second ( or possibly) 3rd window or maybe a second tab
Is there a way to code his?

actually I spoke to soon
the javascript example works
I have a button
under "ACTION WHEN BUTTON CLICKED" I select 'redirect to url'
then enter this: javascript: window.open('f?p=112:17:&SESSION.');
and when I click on the button VOILA the page opens in a new window
the problem is that the old page; the one that I was on, disappears. It becomes a blank page with " [object] ' displayed in the upper left hand corner, nothing else on the page

When adding 'pref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);' to default prefs file 'privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies' and 'privacy.cpd.cookies' become false

It's a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/ru/questions/970266. Created because of silence and impossibility to change a question's category. The situation descripted is a **problem** one.
The question is rather similar to http://support.mozilla.org/ru/questions/962042, but I **do not lock prefs**, so I don't use *mozilla.cfg*.
I'm constructing preconfigured Firefox 23.0.1 installation under Win 7 64-bit using browser\defaults\preferences\prefs.js file. Yes, I know that it should be called all-*companyname*.js, but it works in general in my way too.
As I have written in subj, when I add to prefs.js file 'pref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);' line, then lines 'pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", true);' and 'pref("privacy.cpd.cookies", true);' stop working. If one run about:config immediately after installation, she would see that the latter two options are switched to false and marked **bold** (changed by user).
I had tested it heavily: if one comment out 'pref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);' line other two preferences work just fine. On the other hand if one add this cursed pref either upper or lower in code - no matter - it would turn both other preferences to *false*.
The question is where these strange side-effects are documented? And how can be made a preconfigured installation that possible both sanitize things and clear cookie data on closing?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much, Cotez!
This has worked just fine for me.
Just one more note: when using pref("privacy.sanitize.migrateFx3Prefs", true); one should delete (or comment out) pref("privacy.cpd.cookies", true);. Otherwise the latter pref will become ''false'' on fresh install for some reason. While without that pref its value would be ''true''.

Safari always opens with "Welcome to Safari" screen. Home page not saved.

After a clean reinstall of Yosemite on our mid-2010 iMac and an upgrade to Safari 8.0.2, my partner is greeted with the "Welcome To Safari" screen each time he launches Safari.
In addition, his home page is not saved and the Favorites bar, which is set to be displayed by default, does not show.
My own Safari experience is unaffected.
Has anybody else experienced this and any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

How do I delete pages from my iPhone without it being deleted from my macbook pro as well?

how do I delete pages from my iphone without deleteing it from my macbook pro as well?

Hold you finger down on the iPone App icon until it starts shaking then hit the x to delete it.
Pages does not get deleted from your Mac because they are 2 separate applications on two separate operating systems, that just share a same file format.

Automatically open a new window when entering a specific page

Hi
I have a request I cant seem to solve:
1) On screen A the users presses a button and a collection is parsed on
2) Screen B retrieves the collection, and passes control to a procedure producing lots of htp.p output (sor far so good, works like a dream)
The above is solved using processes in both 1) (after submit) and 2) before regions
3) The end users wants screen C to occur in another window automatically (it's various backgriund stuff, they need to see as well as screen B). So its not good enough to just have another panel with the data.
How can I achieve 3) without adding a button to screen B It shuld popup automatically?
regards
Mette

Hello Mette,
Try this:
1) Create a new page C. Be sure that the Page Template is set to Popup.
2) Add this javascript to the HTML Header in page B (replacing the page # in url with the page # for page C and adjusting width and height to your liking):
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>3) Add this to the HTML Body Attribute for page B:
onload="javascript:showPopup();"This will pop up page C after page B has loaded.
Hope this helps,
John
