  • Garageband downlods but everytime i open it it start the download process again

    I bought my imac which had garageband preloaded i had problems with lops so i uninstalled it and bought i fresh copy from itunes as result every time the download finishes i open garageband and it keep restarting the download over and over again any suggestions would be appreciated thank you

    Do you mean "bought from AppStore"? After uninstalling you should have been able to download from the AppStore for free?
    Anyway. GarageBand seems to have a problem to remember, that it has installed the additional contents. Perhaps it cannot write the Preferences file. HangTime's "oddball" fix may help:
    After GarageBand has completed downloading and installing all of it's extras, remove the GarageBand preferences file and relaunch GarageBand. 
    Go to the Finder's menu bar:
    Select Go ->     and hold down the ⌥-key, until you see "Library" and double click it.
    Open the folder : ~/Library/Preferences
    Locate the com.apple.garageband.plist file
    Move it to your desktop.
    Relaunch GarageBand.
    If still loops are missing, rebuild the loop index: Rebuilding the Loop Index in GarageBand

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

  • I clicked the iCloud symbol in the top right corner of a tv show's artwork and it began to download the duplicate of that episode. I deleted the duplicated episode but everytime a open iTunes it begins to automatically download again. Help

    I clicked the iCloud symbol in the top right corner of a tv show's artwork, wondering what it does, and it began to download a duplicate of that episode. I deleted the duplicated episode but everytime a open iTunes it begins to automatically download again. Help

    It sounds like you may have hidden it, in which case you should be able to unhide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. (You can't turn off the hiding of items.)
    But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads and not relying on being able to redownload them - any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time, if they do then you won't be able to redownload them (nor will be able to do redownload items if you move countries).

  • July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command

    July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command. I cannot read my mail (aol) or access my bookmarks all for work.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    You should be able to uninstall that AOL toolbar extension while running in the Firefox SafeMode.

  • Keeps coming up with "What's New" page everytime I open Firefox.

    Everytime I open Firefox (5) it keeps checking whether my add-ons would work with it and then opens the "What's New" page. It's starting to get really irritating.
    Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

    I suspect a bad add-on. Since add-ons often are installed externally to Firefox, I suggest starting here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Does that clear it up?

  • Everytime I open Firefox I get a page from Video Download Helper. How do I get rid of this page once and for all?

    Since two days, everytime I open firefox an extra tab opens up from Download Helper.
    I close it everytime, but it's getting annoying.
    I've tried the Extra - Options screen, I've tried the Help with Firefox screen , I can't seem to find a solution.
    Please help me get rid of it before I might toss my screen out the window in a few days...

    Did you check for problems with the file prefs.js in the Firefox Profile Folder and rename or delete the file?
    Windows may be hiding the .js file extension, so check the Properties via the right-click context menu to be sure.

  • Everytime I open Firefox 5, a window pops up that says,"TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined,"with an ok button on it. I want this box to disappear.

    Everytime I open Mozilla Firefox 5 Beta, a window pops up that says, "TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined," with an "ok" button, after I click ok, it opens firefox, how do I stop this window from appearing everytime I open firefox? It never did this with previous versions of firefox.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all 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+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • When I update some of my addons, everytime I open firefox information about update is in new tabs, even "welcome to firefox" is always there in new tab! It's very annoying!

    Question
    When I update some of my addons, everytime I open firefox information about update is in new tabs, even "welcome to firefox" is always there in new tab! It's very annoying!

    Ok I found a solution that worked for me, I simply dragged the user.js and the user.js.BAK to the desktop, before that I had done the same with the prefs.js and prefs.js.BAK, but that didn't help, so it's apparently the user file that was an error with.
    It was the link from cor-el that helped me on the way http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    It's at the bottom titled User.js file locks certain preferences.
    This article can also help https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved
    It have still not made a new user.js file, but everything runs fine, hope this can help others to.

  • How can I unsave tabs that open everytime I open Firefox?

    Everytime I open Firefox 6 tabs open which are tabs I've had in the past but are no longer valid. I'm not sure why they're saved, but I want to unsave them so that I have a clean slate everytime I open the browser.

    Do you have those tabs set as the Home pages?

  • When I try to open iPhoto it begins the process and then stops. It brings up a message that iPhoto has quit unexpectedly. Efforts to reopen it bring the same result. My timemachine has been accidentally turned off. I have 20,000 photos on iPhoto. Help!

    When I try to open iPhoto it begins the process and then stops. It brings up a message that iPhoto has quit unexpectedly. Efforts to reopen it bring the same result. My timemachine has been accidentally turned off. I have over 20,000 photos on iPhoto. Help!

    First, copy your iPhoto Library to an external so that you have a backup.
    Second, see if you can create a new Library and have it open. To do this, open iPhoto while holding down the Option key. It will ask which Library to use, or allow you to create a new Library. Save the new library with a different name from the old one.
    If that does open with a new library, the old library is corrupt, but all the files are still OK.
    If it is a corrupt Library, iPhoto Library Manager can repair some corruption, or transfer the Library over to a new one.
