Everytime I try to open a picture in a new tab it asks me where to save, which is weird, since it didn't ask that before. How do I fix this?

Recently when I try to open certain pictures in new tab, it asks me where to save, or to open with what.
How do I stop this, it used to just open in new tab without asking anything?

    The immediate solution that comes to mind is to email the pictures.  You can open the photo, click the arrow out on the bottom left, and email the photo that way.
    Otherwise, if you're trying to Text Message the pictures by MMS, go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and turn that on.  Also turn on MMS Messaging below that.

    This usually caused by a customised hosts file.
    These need to be the only entries in your /etc/hosts file:-
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1       localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1             localhost
    fe80::1%lo0     localhost
    Remove anything below these entries, then try and reconnect with GC. Once GC starts properly you can put the extra entries back in your hosts file, GC should start normally afterwards.

    The movie is from iTunes.   You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case. 

  • I downloaded a program to be able to open docx diles and now every time I try to open one there are endless new tabs that read "new Tab" scrollomig across the top of the screen. How do I make it stop?

    I had an old version of office so I tried to install a free download that will allow me to open docx files. Now when I try to open one and endless stream of tabs that say "New Tab" scrolls across the top of the page. How do I make it stop. I already went and got office 2010 but it is still doing it. It does not do it if I use Internet Exployer for the browser.

  • FF asks me to "allow" every time I try to open a link in a new tab.

    Everytime I click on a link, which should open as a new tab, I get a blank screen and am required to "allow." This happens even in the same account, such as going from gmail to my google calendar. I added adblockplus and donttrackme, which might have caused it, but even after I uninstalled the same thing continues to happen. Any ideas how to prevent the allow requirement?

    hello pigtail, what's the exact wording of the message you get asked to confirm?

  • How do i view email pictures in a new tab instead of being forced to save?

    I used to be able to open up my email and right click on an image, which would allow me to select 'open in new tab'. This would allow the picture to display in an new tab, regardless of it being a JPG, JPEG, GIF, ect...
    Now it forces me to either save it or open it in a different way. I have gone into options>applications and attempted to 'preview in firefox' but the option is not available for JPG, JPEG, GIF, ect...
    I have the the most updated version of Firefox, so I honestly dont know what else to do.

    When i hover over the image the following is seen:
    "https://mail.aol.com/webmail...." followed with the rest of the url and it usually ends in ".jpg"
    so it should be allowed to follow that link into the next tab, but when you right click and choose an option to view said image, you are forced to save.

  • Some links like youtube open in new tab but never have before, how do I fix this?

    All of a sudden, when I go to youtube or really anything. It opens it in a new tab when it never did before. It would only open in new tab when I told it to or when I clicked on a url. I really don't know a lot about this so if somebody could help me that would be great.

    Did you check the settings?
    *Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • My MAC freezes everytime I try to open a picture in Chrome.

    Every time I try to "save as" a picture in Chrome, my MAC freezes in Chrome.  I can click outside of Chrome and use the picture, but cannot get Chrome to comeback, even if I Force Quit and restart it.  Also, doing a soft "Restart" will not fix the problem...I have to manually press the on/off button of the MAC to be able to use Chrome again.
    I guessed OS X (10.6.7) on the operating system (because I always install the latest updates)...I was unable to get any response when I clicked on "About this MAC".
    Any help is appreciated!!!

    You have posted in the PPC iMac forum. Chrome does not run on PPC Macs, only on Intel macs.
    If you are really running Snow Leopard 10.6 you have an Intel Mac as Snow Leopard does not run on PPC macs.
    So no confusion here at all!
    But either way, you have made a good case for getting rid of Chrome!

  • When ever I right click on the menu item "open containing folder" in the downloads window, it only opens the 'My Documents' folder. It never goes any farther than that. How do I fix this?

    Open 'Tools----downloads'.---Right click on any downloaded file that is available in the list.---click on 'Open Containing Folder'
    Results in opening the My documents folder.
    Not in the folder I have listed in Tools ---Options --- General---downloads---Save files to:

    You can use this extension to modify the menu.

  • When i try to wake my macbook after sleep the keypad lights up but the screen stays black. I have to switch off and restart. How do I fix this?

    After my Macbook goes into sleep mode it sometimes won't wake. The keypad lights up but the screen stays black. This problem has only occured after updating to OSX 10.7.2.
    All I can do is switch off and restart. Then any programs I have not 'quit' all open.

    OK, I have a fix. 
    After spending about an hour online with Apple Care without success, I did a reinstall of the Lion OS. It fixed the problem.  I was concerned that I would lose data or settings, but the reinstall was seemless and everything was the way it was before the reinstall except that the "black screen on wake" problem was fixed.
    I started the reinstall before I went to bed and it was waiting for me the next morning.
    Here is a link to the page on how to do the reinstall:

    Hope this helps.

  • Whenever i open certain apps i get the connect to itunes for push notifications over and over again and im unable to play the game, how do i fix this?

    hey guys i have a question,
    so i have the same problem for two of my apps, one is biike race, and the other game is snap chat. so each time i open one of these games i repeatedly get the "connect to itunes for push notifications" box coming up, and im unable to play the game, and i have to click my home button multiple times to get back to the main screen. i dont understand why this is happening and maybe you could help me out.

    There are a few other threads in this forum regarding this issue. It appears to me that this was once an issue with the iPhone, but has now started up again after the upgrade to iOS 4. My iPod Touch is ~ 2 years old and has had absolutely no problems. It is not jailbroken or altered in any way.
    This pop-up started for me after upgrading to iOS 4. I did the restore to factory, reinstalled my apps and the problem returned. It appears my push notifications are working, which is good, but I have to click through the pop-up every time I enter an app that uses notifications.
    This will go away when Apple fixes it.
