Firefox Home with Search panel does not load/appear. When I click the home icon a message appears that says Firefox is not a valid URL. Never did that before?

Nothing different from the question. Firefox just does not load. When I place the mouse cursor over the home icon and do not click, a message panel seemingly powered by My Yahoo states "drag the AT&T globe to the left of the home icon in the toolbar and drop it there, then select "yes" from the pop up window and you are done." This was an action I did recently (not today) but don't see what this has to do with Firefox

Since upgrading to Lion, iDVD does an unexpected end when I click the burn icon ... ?

I'm trying to burn an iDVD project to a DVD-R disk and each time I click the Burn icon, iDVD goes into an unexpected end and closes. I burned this project numerous times before upgrading to Lion, with no issues. Anyone have any ideas on a solution? I'm running iDVD version 7.1.2 on a MacBook Pro

Thanks again but I have no peripheral devices connected. It's very annoying whenever I close the lid the logo stays lit and the computer does not go to sleep (light on front stays solid white). Each time it happens I have to open and close the lid 3-4 times before it finally goes to sleep. It's as if the computer gets hung up trying to go to sleep.

When I click the preview icon it does not load.

When I click the Preview icon ti does not load. what can I do?

Are you sure it doesn't start? Just opening preview doesn't open a file. Look in the top left of the menubar and see if it says preview. Double click on a PDF file and see if that opens preview.

Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

Try doing a manual reset:
Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
If that does not work, restore your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

My new iphone 4S camera is not functioning. When I click the phone icon, the shutter appears. Then the screen only shows the shutter. When I go back to the home screen and click the phone icon again. The photo screen only shows a black screen. The button to take photos is locked the entire time. I've turned the phone on and off several times.

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Have these ALL been tried?

i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully. They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac. Is this a synch issue? When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased. Is that true? My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well. Thanks.

You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

When i click the star icon on the toolbar it does not add the site to my bookmarks,how can i solve this problem

i dont seem able to add a web site to my bookmarks,i click the star
icon+the site is not added to my bookmarks how do i do this?

If you revisit a site that you tried to bookmark, is the star yellow?
If the star is yellow, the site has been bookmarked. Clicking on the star once saves the bookmark in the "Unsorted bookmarks" folder which is not visible in the bookmarks menu, clicking on the star a second time allows you to edit the bookmark so you can move it to the folder of your choice. See the [[bookmarks]] article for further details.
If the site is not being bookmarked at all, see the [[bookmarks not saved]] article for details of how to resole this issue.

Finder is not working properly mac osx 10.7.4 it no longer launches a new window when I click the finder icon - I have to right click and open a new window

Hi
Just recently Finder has stopped behaving as it normally would. Clicking the icon doesn't seem to launch the finder window. I have to right click the finder icon and then click New Finder Window. Sometimes there is no response for sometime and then finally it does open a window. If I click finder when a wondow is open it does not shift focus to finder anymore. I am sure this did not use to be the case?
PS. not sure if this is how to put things on the forum as haven't used them before!

Click on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
Terminal
and press 'return'.
In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
killall Finder; killall Dock
(that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
Test using Finder as normal. Same problem?

I download Firefox 4 which is supposed to be compatible with OSX10.4 and above. But when I click the icon I get a message that it is not compatible with version of OSX10.4.11 and it wont load

I download Firefox 4.o and drag to app folder then to dock. When I double click on the dock icon I get a message the forefox is not compatible with this version of OSX (which is OSX10.4.11). What gives?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Firefox will not load up when i click the icon on my desktop, but still the same problem, i have checked and its loaded in the task manager and just wont load up, any help on this matter is strongly welcomed thank you mark

Hi,
a) I don't have DMG either in applications but I have '''Document''' instead.
So '''set "Document" to Always Ask '''going to Firefox>Preferences>Applications
Now it will always ask if you want to Open or Save the file.
b) If already downloaded, check what's under Get Info > Open with
It should say Open With DiskImageMounter (see pic)
https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-07-24-03-56-33-60e1a9.png
If not, select it. It's in Home>System>Library>CoreServices.
See if it helps.

How do I know if private browsing is working? The purple mask does not appear when I click the mask icon. In my privacy settings "Never Remember" is selected.

I'm trying to confirm private browsing is working. Right now I have no way of knowing if it is on or not. The purple mask ,referred to in help, does not appear when selected. I should say in my privacy settings, I have selected "Never Remember" for history.

Do you mean you have checked the box: "Always use private browsing mode"? If so, it's intentional that the private browsing icon isn't displayed as we didn't want Firefox to be showing everyone within view that you're using private browsing mode IIRC.
There are some easy things you can do to confirm that you are in private browsing mode such as visiting a new website and then confirming it doesn't appear in the history window.

Windows 8.1 Movie Maker Alone Does Not Record Sound (and never did)

I am using Windows 8.1 and having audio problems with Windows Movie Maker. The problem is that it will record visually but not audibly. In other words, I record a video from my webcam, and my appearance is fine, but the audio is blank.
Likewise, recording narration does not work either.
I do not understand this, because I have used my webcam on skype, and youtube: the sound works fine. I have checked the volume, I have checked recording devices, which all imply that recording is doing fine. I checked video volume, everything
was implied as fine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Movie Maker. I have had help from a computer friend and we looked at every avenue we could. If someone could tell me what I need to do to make the audio work on Windows Movie
Maker, I would appreciate it. There may be some small thing we're missing.
THERE A WEBCAM PROGRAM AS A DECENT ALTERNATIVE TO MOVIE MAKER THAT HAS THE OPTION OF RECORDING NARRATION AS WELL? IS THERE SOMETHING I MISSED? If someone could tell me something, I would appreciate it greatly.

Hi,
Go to sound Volume Mixer and see if Windows Movie Maker shows up and is not muted.
Meanwhile, for issue about Windows Movie Maker, it is recommended to post in following forum:
