Everytime I click on a website I searched for it redirects me to either pebble search engine or scour search engine. How do I fix this?
Whenever I search for a website and click on it I get redirected to a different search engine.
This sounds like it could be the result of malware on the computer. Please see [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]] for help.

Everytime I open my iTunes it says "Running iTunes in 64-bit mode requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later" how do I fix this?
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -
After I click system preferences to change my screensaver, it will say loading images and the cursor will be loading. How do i fix this to be able to change my screensaver and not have my computer do this?
Try system preferences>desktop,click desktop tab. Click the Apple folders, iPhoto, or folders. Click the pic you want on the icon, it should put the pic as your wallpaper. You can change the picture if you change picture if you click it and the time. Unless I don't understand your question. ATB

Why won't my iPad mini download music or video's? I click the download button and it will say its downloading. Then once finished it will just disappear? How can I fix this problem?!?!
Are you using the same apple ID and password?
it seems all is in order, but perhaps the password isn't valid.
if the reset didn't work, try signing out of iTunes and App Store, then back in.
have you tried going to App Store - purchased and tapping on the cloud icon for the apps you want? You will still be asked for your password. -
After I Bookmark websites, they are lost when I go back to get them...How do I fix this problem...??
Which albums are you trying to add them to ? You should be able to add them to new albums that you've created directly on the iPad, but you can't add photos to albums that were synced from a computer.

I downloaded the new IOS last week and my phone can no longer find the network it only states "searching" How do I fix this for the 3gs?
If you have important files that haven't been backup then you can try this by holding down power and home till it restarts and release when you see apple logo.
If you have nothing to lose, you can do a fresh restore by holding down power and home for 10 seconds and after 10 seconds release power but keep holding home till iTunes recognize it is in recovery mode and restore iphone. -
I have one iCloud account. I set up two separate calendars on iCloud to share with two separate groups. But when I click on the second calendar and try to enter data, it defaults to the first/other calendar (wrong group to share with). How do I fix this?
Was this ever resolved?
Recently I set up a share for one calendar with another Apple user, through my iCloud. Now I find that the shared calendar, which has maybe 50 entries a week because it is for keeping track of community center activities and printing out PDFs, appears in my personal Calendar --- unless I turnoff the sharing.
Is this generally true? I cannot find any clarity on this on Apple Support.
If so, I plan to stop the assistance to the other Apple user. I will stop sharing the community center calendar that I set up on my computer and ask her to set up such a calendar on her own computer anew. The sharing of Calendars does not work well. It seems the shared calendar takes over as the only calendar one can see on one's own computer, replacing other calendars set up without sharing. I can only "see" the other calendars by turning off the sharing on the shared calendar. This is inconvenient. Basically shared Calendars take over! -
I have checked my installed programs, the list of add ons on internet explorer and the one on Firfox, and cannot find sweetim. However, when I try to do a keyword search in the location bar, I am only able to do it twice, until I switch to a new tab. After that, the keyword search no longer works, and gives me a message saying that I haven't typed in the URL correctly or it doesn't exist. There seems to be some connection to www.amazon.com, because everytime I open a new tab and try to do a keyword search in the location bar, amazon.com moves to the top of the small search window, and google moves down. I cannot search in the small window when amazon.com is up, because it won't let me overwrite.
When I check the about:config, and reset to the defaults after 2 keyword test searches, it sets back to the sweetim.toolbar as the default again. I was just resetting Firefox, but I think I've done that 8 or 9 times now, and I still have the problem.
What should I do next to fix this?HI Noah:
Thanks for your answer. I'm working my way through the blog, and trying to take all of the steps. Hitman Pro did find 5 trojans, and many remnants of other malware, so hopefully that will help. I'll post again when I've finished trying everything else.
I had already run Malware Bytes, It did not find/remove the sweetim toolbar, but found a different trojan. Something is up with my antivirus I think. -

Was using Firefox 21, after 20, etc. Automatically updated Firefox to version 22 and problem appeared. I get the error message, click OK and Firefox runs normally. I reinstalled version 22..same problem. I removed everything after copying bookmarks to html file. I removed application data, extensions, folders--everything. I download a fresh copy of 22, installed it, imported my bookmarks and installed new copies of my extensions. SAME PROBLEM. I get plc4.dll not found error. I copied plc4.dll from Thunderbird to Firefox folder. Then I get nspr4.dll error. I copied this too from Thunderbird to Firefox, then I get xpcom.dll not found error. I copied this as well and get NS_CSTringContainerInit2_P not found in xul.dll. BUT FIREFOX STILL LOADS and runs normally after I click OK. I also did a Malware scan to make sure this wasn't a factor. How do I resolve this crap?
I did exactly what you describe , no improvement. I was surprised.

everytime i plug my iphone into my computer to sync it freezes up and i have to restore it to factory settings... what can i do to fix this?
Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard came out in July of 2009 and became obsolete in July of 2011 when 10.7 Lion was introduced. Unlike earlier Operating Systems which were removed from the Apple Store when a new OS came out Apple kept Snow Leopard around for a year until 10.8 Mountain Lion came out. When Mountain Lion came out they removed Snow Leopard and Lion from the online store.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

I tried re-installing firefox with no luck. no matter what i get this:
http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff136/BrittRyuu/alliget.png
How can i fix this?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).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
>In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General) -
