Download Box Pops Up When Viewing Websites With Facebook Like Buttons

Whenever I visit websites that have the option to click the "like" button from facebook (cnn, tmz, etc.), the download box on my computer pops up and says "You have chosen to open like.php from www.facebook.com in Text Edit" or "You have chosen to open fan.php from www.facebook.com in Text Edit." I rarely use Facebook and have never used the like button so I'm not sure why it keeps popping up. Does anyone else have this problem/know how to fix it? I am using Firefox 3.6 on a Mac with Snow Leopard.

Same problem , on multiple websites across the web.

I try to download a picture and when the download box pops up it cancels my download automatically, how can I fix this?

If I am trying to download anything from the internet such as a picture or SKYPE the download box pops up and says that my download has been canceled. I then hit retry and it looks like it is downloading but nothing ever downloads. How can I fix this??

There is a particularly intrusive BMW app advert that pops up when playing Words with Friends that I can't get rid of. There doesn't appear to be an exit option (most unethical). Any suggestions on how to get rid of the advert out ther?

The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader.

The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader. How can I get rid of these? Why is this happening? The pdf was created from a presentation in powerpoint and uses the links for some interactivity.

That's a great feature request. I'd like the ability to turn off the blue boxes over hyperlinks as well.

Podcast stopped downloading - note popped up telling me to press the "get" button to continue download-WHERE is the "get" button?

Thank you, Roger.
I kind of tried this, and when I clicked on the cloud, an "X" appeared and the podcast title became ghosted!
Had to wait a lengthy time for all the rest of the podcasts to load (I only connect with iTunes on my ext. hard drive about twice a week), and then go back and "refresh" these - they played all the way through and then were loaded. This is just the latest mishap with iTunes, which periodically never loads my 3 subscriptions for weeks at a time, and I have to manually load them from the various sites offering the podcasts. No one at the Apple Store knows what is wrong, and they all finally admit that it's an Apple error and not a site screwup! I will muddle along and hope the next time I plug in my Est. HD to open itunes that this will not happen!
Again, thanks - and have a good day :-)

Trying to download from iTunes and when I clicked on the Sync button, it indicates that it is waiting to sync. Then it comes back saying sync failed. What is the problem ?

Few questions..
are you using windows or mac?
what version of itunes are you using?
have you EVER been able to successfully sync with itunes?
what iOS version are you running on your phone?
This is a great article for syncing with itunes. Good Luck

Why don't I have sound when viewing videos on Facebook or you tube?

Why don't. I have sound when viewing videos on Facebook or you tube?

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it.

I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it. Can any one tell me what is wrong. I read where when the yellow light was flashing there was a problem, but I am a novice at this and have no idea where to turn. It seems to be backing up on a regular basis.

On the Mac......
Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
Then.....very important
Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next.

Hello, Miryam Maria.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues with sound on applications when playing video/audio content. If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute. Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the settings for the side switch. Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device. Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

I have my iPhone locked and I don't want the music controls to pop up when I double click the home button. Does anyone know how to make it stop?

what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? i understand that you don't want to see the music status come up on your lock screen, but what are you trying to do by clicking your home button at all?

Pages with Facebook Like automatically opening in another tab

Firefox 4 works properly. Its just that when I visit site as
http://www.jagoinvestor.com/ or Indiatimes.com....[http://www.sinlung.com sinlung.com] or any page which has Facebook like button. It automatically opens just the Facebook Page (link below) in a new Tab AUTOMATICALLY
I'm not sure if this a feature in Firefox 4 but its annoying. Further, this does not happen all the time. It usually happens on new sites that I visit.

Go to tools ....then internet options, check your homepage and delete facebook url.
Hope this helps....

Facebook like button not showing on website in version 11

We own a website and all of a sudden the Facebook Like button stop showing on the site in FF. In other browsers it is showing and working but not in FF v 11.
It was all fine yesterday and today it stopped appearing

I had the same problem. An uninstall/reinstall of Firefox solved it.

A Video Site I've Gone To For Years (Liveleak), Never With Firefox, When I Click To Play The Video, Downloads Box Pops Up And Says I'm Downloading The Video.

So I Go To The Site, Everything Loads Properly And Quickly, Click The Video I Want To Watch, That Video Page Comes Up, Once Again, Quickly And Properly. So I Click The Play Button To Play The Video And The "Downloads" Box For Firefox Pops Up And Shows That I'm Downloading The Video. That's Great If I Want To Download The Video, But I Don't, I Just Want To Watch It There On The Site. I Just Now Downloaded Firefox Because I've Heard So Many Great Things About It. This Site (Liveleak) Was The First Site I Went To After Downloading, So It's Of To A Bad Start With Me For Firefox. This Site Works Fine In Internet Explorer No Problems Whatsoever, So Its Not The Site.

Sounds that you are missing the plugin that is used to play those videos embedded in Firefox. 
Your system details list doesn't show any media player plugin, so you will either have to check if the plugin(s) are installed, but disabled or install missing plugins.

You may need the new WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll) because Flash always uses a dedicated player to play the videos and would never offer to save videos directly unless an extension is used.
