Every time I right click on an image and select Download image Firefox crashes . I have reinstalled; uninstalled and deleted folders and then reinstalled; added no plugins; checked I can DL the same images in IE-works good.I use Win7 pro and it works in other profiles in Windows 7. I created a new profile in Windows and that worked for about 2 months and now that has gone the same way as my admin profile has done. I deleted the sqlite download file-still same prob..Please help. I use Firefox 13.0.1
That sounds very frustrating.
By the way, does it say "Download image" or "Save Image As"? Just checking whether you have an add-on downloader in the mix that might be relevant. If you do have an add-on, try using the built-in command.
Do you also crash if you save from here:
right-click page > View Page Info > Media tab > (select image) > Save As
I assume you have seen this article and tried these things: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
Have you tried the new Reset feature in Firefox 13? This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back if you like using Firefox's Profile Manager.
Does it make any difference?

Every time I right-click an image in Firefox 3.6.12 to view image size info it says "Unknown (not cached)". Any ideas on why this could be happening and how I can stop it? My OS is Ubuntu 10.10. If you need any more info let me know.
Is the disk cache and the memory cache enabled?
You can check these prefs on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.disk.enable
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.memory.enable
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

Alright, so I got firefox, opened it up, and I had been trying to figure out how to change my homepage, so I clicked file, and it made this really irritating bing noise, which definitely caught my attention. So as I looked through the other menus at hand for a solution to the problem it continued making the noise. When I didn't find a way, I right clicked and made the noise when I did that too, right clicking didn't help me solve my problem either, so I had to resort to help, and most of what I saw already in their that could have help I didn't understand, something about genome default sounds and yeah. Please help.

Everytime I try to right click on or try to manage my bookmarks firefox crashes. What's going on?
Also when I am trying to submit a post, like the post I'm writing now, when I click submit or post firefox becomes unresponsive and I can only shut it down by ending the process firefox.exe through task manager. Just a moment ago it happened when I tried to submit this post. There are no crash reports when this happens. Only when I try my bookmarks.
thanks for any help,
kopkinsThis can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Trying to dl firefox but every time it stops at extracting around 50% and then the program closes.
I uninstalled firefox and when I went to redownload it the program stops extracting the file at 50%.
== Operating system ==
Windows xp** FIXED **
I had this problem where I work but it was fine on my home pc. When Firefox upgraded, it detected a proxy on my work network and started to use it even though my previous settings were set to no proxy.
Now all my pages load and my 'find updates' for addons work.

Spinning beachball every time I r-click a file
So, this issue is with my computer at work. I normally wouldn't come to the support forums for work-related issues, but our IT support here only know PC's.
Here's the problem: Every time I right-click on a file, I get a spinning beachball for 2-3 minutes.
Here are some other system specs:
2yr old Mac Pro
2 x 2.66 GHz Quad-Core
12 GB RAM
This only began happening after IT had me install and run some 3rd party optimization/fix-it utility called "OnyX"--ironically to try and solve another issue (which it didn't). Ever since I ran that program, I've had this spinning beachball problem.
This is so frustrating, because I never have these types of problems with my own, personal Apple products at home. I wish... WISH... they would hire IT staff here that know how to NOT eff up our Macs... but that's a personal rant for another day.
Thanks in advance!They and you shoud know before tinkering to have multiple backups and how to repair a system. Whether Windows or a PC, whether chkdsk or fsck or booting from system DVD.
Two years ago all Mac Pro came with 10.6.0 as of sept 2009.
Onyx is not really for fixing and the OS forum has more than a couple people that had the same bad luck using Onxy and other cleaning programs. They can and will do more and have a lot of features. Knowing which to use when. In he past "Applejack" was darn easy and safe to use.
Safe Boot
Repair from DVD
Clone system to another drive and repair and test booting there (do safe boot also first time)
Then tell us and focus on the underlying issue you began with - but don't mention.
External devices, drivers, an update or install.
As for 2009 Mac Pro there is/was a bug in audio, that affected all models and iTunes as well, and was never issued for 10.5.8 users, only for 10.6.2 and above. So you really should look at getting it - a clean install on a new drive. Maybe that is the direction to take. -
How do I delete a song from my Itunes music library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and then select "delete" as specified and my info claims at that point it will ask if I want to send this song to my trash bin, but, instead, when I try to delete the song, I get another window asking "are you sure you want to hide this song in iCloud? I don't even know what iCloud is?!?!? I don't want iCloud and just want to get rid of old songs!!! HELP ME!!!
Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

I have a mac book pro and my os x is 10.9.5 is updated. I use safari 7.1 ( the last updated version) , firefox and google chrome. It is a few days that I have the problem of opening an unwanted new tab from history ( just random but usually mac cleaner) automatically every time that I click on my opened page! Now I see that this also happened in firefox and chrome. I have tried, un-installing extensions, clear history, reset safari/chrome/ firefox... But the problem is not solved. I am really confused! I see many adds in every page I open too. which I did not see before this. I appreciate if anyone can help me get rid of these unwanted tabs!
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine item from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
I am updating iphoto 9.1 to 9.3 and every time when I clicked for update aps store asked to open it in the account where you purchased. I am using the same account and its available in the purchased item of this account. But in my purchased item library it indicates that you update iPhoto. I am not sure which account the aps store asking. Can someone resolve this problem.
Contact App Store support. They're the folks who can help with Account issues.

I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open.
Similary, if I scan an image and save it as a PDF file in pictures, I'm suddenly not able to open it either!
Why?Move the com.apple.screencapture.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and try again.
BTW, use the default 10 point setting for text. Your choice just wastes screen space. -
Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?
IIRC, OPTION-click on the Apple icon on the menu bar and select either Restart or Shutdown. Alternatively,
Control-Command-Eject
Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then restart the computer
Control Option-Command-Eject
Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then shut down the computer -

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable. I've never had this happen before. I haven't used it for a few weeks, so maybe there's an update (Mac or otherwise) that's screwing things up? HELP!
I have an Edit In - Photoshop option, but not an Export - Photoshop option.
Obviously to have right-click Edit In to work, the photo you're right-clicking on needs to be selected. I assume this is not the problem, and that the photo is selected.
Mavericks 10.9.3 has a problem where the Users folder is hidden, and you need to update iTunes to fix it, but it's been a few weeks since this happened so hopefully you're up-to-date and the Users folder isn't hidden anymore.
If you can't get things to work, I'd uninstall LR and uninstall Photoshop, then install Photoshop, and update it, then install LR and update it, as a way to get any wayward security or other OS-level things reset. -
Can't right-click on certain images in finder
I've tried searching for this, but so far I've had no real luck. I have a folder of images (2033 images to be exact) from when I lived in Japan. The first 2/3 of them work fine, but the last roughly 1/3, when I right-click on them I get the same contextual menu as if I had right-clicked on the negative space (i.e. create new folder.) I can open them with a double left click (preview) and I can open them from within another program. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening with only some of the images in this folder? It doesn't happen with any other folder (that I know of.)
FYI: the equivalent of a right click is Control key and click. The Option click is a different deal, equally useful, but different. To see the difference, try a Control click on a running application in the Dock, carefully note the menu options you see. Now try Option click--see the differences? An option click on a file doesn't do anything at all.
