Every time I close my laptop (not turn it off, just put it to "sleep") when I open it again, I am no longer online & have to go to File & uncheck "work offline". How do I make sure my laptio stay connected & doesn't go offline? (I have wireless broadband)

You can try to create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
You can right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
<pre><nowiki>Name: network.manage-offline-status
Value: false
</nowiki></pre>

Try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint] add-on, it gives greater control over the zoom options.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

HT1751 Not all the music I have in Itunes is in the Itunes library, how do I make sure all is there to transfer to new computer

I am trying to move my Itunes Library to a different computer. When I put the Itunes library onto the external hard drive it only had a portion of the songs. Alot did not copy over. How do I make sure that all the songs in Itunes are in the Itunes Library stored on my computer?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Macbook crashes every time I close the computer without shutting it off

Every time I close the screen on my Macbook the OS crashes. I get a message and a black screen telling me I have to restart my computer. It started doing this very recently and it does this every single time I close the screen now. Any ideas what might be going on?

My Iphone 5 is not turning on after I put it to sleep. Help?

Hello there. I have some trouble with my phone. I was downloading a movie on my iphone 5, and I needed more space. I went to settings and deleted the apps I don't need. It froze and I put it to sleep. I tried to get back on, and it wouldn't let me. I can still use Siri and can hear the noises, but I can't turn it off. It won't turn back on! I updated to the IOS 7. Please help!
Thanks!

Try a reset.
Hold the lock/power button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
No data will be lost.
Let us know if that has any effect.

How can I make sure my data add on doesn't automatically renew?

I bought the 1.99 100 MB of data, don't want this to anutorenew, how can i stop it from doing that?

Hi ,
Only pay as you go 'packs' renew automatically. Add-ons do not renew automatically.
Thanks

How do I make sure wireless bridge is on *my* wifi network?!?

Suppose I have a wireless bridge from Linksys, which lets my network disk be on my home wifi network. It's set up to grab an address via DHCP. But, I'm thinking - my neighbor also has a wifi network. How do I make sure the disk is talking to my Linksyst router, not to others that may be in the vicinity? The router has a MAC address filter, and that's great but it's the wrong direction: how do I make sure my wireless devices aren't talking to other people's wifi routers?
Mike

To prevent your wireless devices from accidently connecting to a neighbor's system, you must set up wireless security.
You will need to enter the following information in both your wireless router and your wireless devices:
1) a unique SSID - this identifies your network
2) your chosen method of encryption
3) your encryption key
You should be able to set your "network disk" (or the bridge that it is using) to only connect to the wireless system that matches 1, 2, and 3 above.
For more on wireless security, see my previous post at:

I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

Yes I know what you mean about it cluttering the thread and for personal emails it is better without the signature. However this relates to sending business emails from an iPhone so I need the signature present on every email.
I can't find anything in Settings so I was hoping someone may have some knowledge/information/experience regarding this problem.

HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent? I have an older machine with Windows XP.

I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
Try this:
Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
Close and shut down the computer.
The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
What happens, which step do you have problems with?

When I open firefox it is returning to the last viewed page instead of my homepage even though I have the settings set to clear history every time I close Firefox. I check and all of the previous history is still there and not deleted..

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

How do I make sure my iPhone sends a text not an iMessage?

My iPhone seems nowadays to try to send a SMS as an "iMessage" rather than a text. This does not work very well. I have had delays of several hours, and messages delivered to computers at home rather than the phone in the pocket. Also it uses data bandwidth rather than the phone signal without asking my permission. This is a serious shortcoming IMO.
How do I make sure that my text messages actually are text messages.

Just turn off iMessage in Settings

Hello Saethwyr99,
''Do I just do it by copying the places.sqlite file within that XP profile over into my USB flash drive, then replacing the places.sqlite in the Winodws 7 profile with the one from the other one?''
you are correct : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile#w_your-important-data-and-their-files Your important data and their files]
''Also, random sites in every month scattered all over the list of URLs will just disappear, and random sites that I've only visited in the past couple days will insert themselves randomly into much older months of history, which makes it hard to figure out the URLs I've seen, this last one seems like a common problem from what I've read, and all of these problems seem to be slowly creeping into my Windows 7 as well when they were originally on only my XP.''
from Firefox 4 and above versions there is not a time limit for the history.
Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept '''without affecting the performance.'''
''as well as view all the old expired and/or manually deleted history on my Windows 7''
i think this in not possible
''If I can only keep all my history through installing an add-on, a link to a relevant legal add-on that'll work well on both operating systems would be appreciated.''
check the next add-on : [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/expire-history-by-days/ Expire history by days]

How can I make sure under Windows 8 in Explorer to get a real pdf document content file miniature and not the Adobe logo miniature?

This is not a typical Windows 8 problem, I had the same problem with all my previous Acrobat versions on all previous Windows versions.
How can I make sure that when consulting pdf files via Windows explorer the pdf file is represented as a genuine miniature of the document content itself and noit just a document icon with Adobe logo?

Hi Josialaers,
Turn the 'Preview Pane' ON and you should be able to see the content of the pdf when clicked.
When 'Show preview handlers in preview pane ON' is checked in 'Folder Options' of Windows Explorer.

How can I make sure my IPad 2 is using the wireless internet in my house and not the 3G? I don't want to be charge for data usage by my carrier.

Turn off the Celular Data option in your ipad setting. You will see the name of your 3g service provider gone from top left corner.
