Every time I reboot my computer, I lose Firefox. Safe mode window won't stay up, after a half hour or so, I usually find a way to open it, but what's causing it

When I reboot my computer, the Firefox icon is still sitting there, but will not open the program. I sometimes have luck opening from a link from another software program, but there is no logic. When I try to "Start/Run" firefox in safe mode, it still will not stay on the screen - just a brief flash. This is frustrating! This has been going on for at least a couple of months, help!

Thanks, that may be the problem ... I just have Windows Firewall, but have recently trialed Norton for about a month ... did not buy it, but it caused other issues with my computer, as well. I uninstalled it, but (for instance) my Flash kept crashing, etc.

My audio aggregate device is not stable in Mountain Lion, it was fine before I upgraded from Snow Leopard - every time I reboot the computer it loses the configuration and so it is not available in Logic Pro

My audio aggregate device is not stable in Mountain Lion - it was fine before I upgraded from Snow Leopard. Every time I reboot the audio aggregate device (MOTU TRAVELER, MOTU PRE8 1, MOTU PRE8) has to be reconfigured so that it is available within Logic Pro.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Logic asks for my serial number every time I reboot the computer. Anyone know what gives? I restored the program after a hard drive crash and now I need to enter the serial number every time. Why doesn't it remember the code?

After a computer crash I had to reinstall the whole system using Migration Assistant. The User ID is NOT the same as the original computer. And now every time I reboot the computer and load Logic the program asks me to enter my Serial Number with a "Licensing" window. Why can't the copy protection see that I have already done this? Am I missing some Pref file, or is it in the wrong location? The program works fine once I enter in the number and insert my Logic XSKey (from an older update). Thanks.

Hi!
Do you run automap 4.8/4.9? If so, then the chance is that automap is the culprit for slow undos/redos on LPX 10.1. Delete the Novation controller in the LPX controller surfaces. You find it under preferences/controller surfaces. If that is the solution for you, then uninstall automap. You find the uninstaller under applications-automap.
Good luck!

Why is it that every time I reboot my computer I have to reload a new library since my old one is in the recycle bin.

Well I just recently downloaded the application "Whatsapp" again after I synced my new iPhone 5 to my computer and it wasn't there. So I actually went into the app store and downloaded it from that again. It didn't make me pay the .99 cents as before though. Maybe because I was already in the system. This has really agrovated me, because none of my friends that use "Whatsapp" with thier iPhones experience this problem.
Someone help please!

Flash player request that I reinstall it every time i reboot my computer

I just uninstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller,   following the   steps,   it installed successfully.
Tonight I got message up saying I had to install flash player to enter Game Ranger It reinstalls the same version.
Every time I shut down computer and come back I have to reinstall Flash player again. when I go to Game Ranger.   I uninstalled Game Ranger and it made no difference.   Other people using this site do not have this issue.

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

After upgrade to 8.0 FF crashes every time I try to start it, even in safe mode

I guess the automatic upgrade happened last night (i hate that you auto upgrade btw) and now FF at work crashes every time I try to open it. I've had problems with FF ever since 7.0 came out. Please fix these problems because FF is almost unusable now :( So sad it is such a great program that has been ruined now

It seems to be caused by roboform 7.5.1. I upgraded to the latest version of robo and it's working now. Sorry mozilla, not your fault.. very frustrated.

Every time I restart my Mac, I lose Firefox and have to re-install it.

I recently purchased my first Mac Book Pro (the 15 inch base model, if it matters) and shortly after tried to install Firefox. I installed it no problem, however, whenever I restart my Mac, it is completely gone. Not in Finder/Applications. I can't seem to figure out what is going on. Help!

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

Why does iTunes delete my library every time I turn my computer on? All my music is still on my computer but when I open iTunes it comes up with the scan media page. I have to redo my playlists and it takes forever. Can someone help??

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed asiTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you have the media you can use selected steps from the tip to ensure that you don't lose settings and data from the device as a result of switching libraries.
A large number of users with this issue have been using AVG Anti-Virus which appears to be implicated in the problem. AVG have released a patch which might help, so if you use AVG then I would update that first. I'd also be interested to know which AV you use in case others may cause similar issues. I recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time and scheduled AV scanning process. Another possible cause could be automatic backup tools.

Acrobat re-installs at the start-up every time I use the computer

Every time I start a computer Acrobat keeps re-installing.
First I get a message "Preparing to install" from the Windows installer.
Then I get a message "Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat".
And then I get a message "You must restart your system for the configuration changes made to Adobe Acrobat pro to take take effect. Click yes to re-start or No if you plan to re-start later."
If I click Yes, then after a re-start it all start from the beginning - I get a message "Preparing to install" again...
If I clink NO, I can use the Acrobat Pro, but this message is very annoying.... Also, it takes extra time before I can start using the computer...

Please back up your computer before starting any remedial action. System Restore is not sufficient for any catastrophic problems. First, I do not recommend the use of any 3rd party registry repair software. If you stick to using the original publisher's software to isolate and/or fix any problems you will generally be much better off.
In general, when you see the installer running right after trying to start an application, it means the installation is corrupted. Therefore, that's where I would begin troubleshooting.
After BACKING UP YOUR SYSTEM, I would try the following:
1. Uninstall the application.
2. Clear the Windows logs
3. Disable User Account Control
4. Disable any third party software which might be conflicting.
5. Reboot, if necessary, and then reinstall with Administrator privelages using the following procedure: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400682.html
6. Upload (attach) your log to your next post so other people and I can look at it.
7. Check your Windows Event Log for error messages related to the installation routine. Copy any installation error messages to your post.
I'll take a look at the resulting log for unusual events.

Have to startup database every time I reboot Windows

Hi,
I have installed Oracle XE on Windows 2003 Server. Every time I reboot Windows, I have to logon as sysdba with SQL and startup the database.
Is it possible to have Oracle do this automatically after Windows startup?
Thanks,
Frank

Hi,
I encountered the kind of problem with my office PC , XP with 1G memory.
Sometimes when I started my computer, as what you described, the listner is on, the db is on, but if you are trying to access apex, or a normal schema rather than sys, there would be a message showing some error message, and if you login to sqlplus as sys, it will show message *'connected with a idle instance'*, and then you type startup, everything go up to normal.
I asked a few person at this forum, but not very good answers got.
But I was not like your condition now, all the time, everytimes, I encoutered this problem 2 out of 5 times I started or rebooted the machine.
First I don't know what to do, I just simply restart my pc, and it workes again, and then I found out that I can start it up manually under sqlplus as user 'sys', and I did that then.
and then, after my upgrading my memory to 2G, and I give more memory to the db xe, it works fine, the problem is gone,
So I think maybe you can try to allocate more memory to both SGA and PGA, or evern, add mor memory to your PC.(if without any other good solution).
Thanks,
Peter
p.s. memory adding is the simplest way to get better performance, on both your PC and db.

Why does iChat launch every time I wake my computer?

Very annoying. Since upgrading to Lion, every time I wake my monitors, iChat starts up. It is not in login items and I can't find anything in the preferences that suggest it should behave this way. It feels like naggy shareware, but even that would have been something I intentionally installed. I've removed all of my accounts from iChat and still it wants to start up every time I wake the computer.
I thought I had the problem licked:
http://bertrandaaron.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/stubborn-ichat-after-upgrading-to- os-x-lion/
But after my next reboot the iChat wizard wanted me to set up a new account. NO, THANKS. I just want it to stop launching in the first place. When I want to use iChat, I'll launch it manually.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
My first thought would have been Login Items in your User Account (System Preferences > Accounts > your Account > Login Items).
Next option
Open iChat if it is not open.
You should be able to open the iChat Menu > Preferences
Go to the Accounts section.
Highlight the Bonjour account and see that it is NOT enable in the right hand pane (If the account is Ticked (in the list) it is Active )
Next place.
Lion does have this ability to remember if a window is Open on Shut down and will reopen it.
Check the System Preferences > General Section for the setting that does this under the number of Applications, Documents, and Servers that you can set to be remembered.
There is also a similar Setting in the Shut Down Message.
I would try turning both of these Off and cycling through a Shut Down and reboot sequence.
That should stop it launching on Computer Start up or Wake but it will not solve what is causing it.
Most likely it is a name that can be used in Mail or Face Time as well as iChat such as an Apple ID from MobileMe.
Also Check your Entry in the Address Book (My card = Head and SHoulders iCon) and make sure it does not list an name iChat can use.
