Firefox/IE issue switching from Aero to Basic on Thinkpad X1

When using Go-To-Meeting, it automatically switches the theme from Aero to Basic. When this happens Firefox and IE will not display menu dropdowns. It works fine in Chrome.
Any suggestions?

That doesn't really surprise me, since the more recent versions of Firefox/IE have hardware acceleration enabled(not sure about Chrome), so that may have something to do with what you're experiencing.

Two small issues switching from Leopard to Snow Leopard

Hi,
I just recently switched to Snow Leopard from Leopard. I was considering Lion, but heard some bad things about it.
Either way, I noticed two small issues. The first was a hot key set on my Logitech mouse. I had a button preset to all windows expose. In the software
for the mouse driver you can set it to expose specifically. (Its not just setting it to a certain F key). For some reason this doesn't work anymore.
The other problem is when I link my mac book pro to an external monitor thru an hdmi cable, I notice on the tv screen it reverts back to the default
desktop background. Instead of having the picture I set, it shows up on the big screen the blue and purple space image.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply,
The Logitech mouse driver said there were no updates available so I figured the expose had something to do
with the new OS system since it now said expose and spaces, which Leopard never had spaces.
So what I did was figured out how to just set it up with the F keystroke and it worked!
When I link my Mac Book Pro to my tv, I use an external keyboard which is more up to date with the quick f keys up top and the arrangement is set up differently [ such as the volume keys are now f 10 and 11 instead of f 3 and 4 or something like that] Hopefully when my mbp is linked to this the keystroke I have set for expose still works. I believe it will.
And as for the desktop bg, after unplugging my tv I notcied it still stayed on the space theme. So I believe I know what may be the issue. I set that bg off of a picture on an external hd, and never saved the image on my computer hd. So I'm assuming it saved the desktop picture in some cache thing or something and once it got linked to an external monitor it got refreshed.
I now how that image on my computer and set, so hopefully the next time I link my computer to the tv, it'll stay.
Thanks!

CS3 Bridge forces Windows Aero to Basic after installing Quicktime

Hi, I have been running Adobe CS3 Bridge (and Photoshop) without any problems on Windows 7 Ultimate until Apple forced me to install Apple iTunes. iTunes in turn forces me to install Apple Quicktime. Since I installed Apple iTunes + Apple Quicktime, Windows 7 switches from Aroe to Basic when I start Adobe CS3 Bridge. The following message appears: The color scheme has been changed. The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 Basic: Program= Adobe Systems, Publisher= Adobe Systems. When I uninstall Apple Quicktime, Adobe CS3 Bridge runs without any problems again. Unfortunately, I need Apple iTunes to update my iPhone and Apple iTunes will not run without Apple Quicktime installed. Any suggestions?

Hi Curt (and others),
I do have the latest version of QuickTime (7.6.5). QuickTime forums? Does not work, I have to login, but when I do I get error: Invalid Language ID (no idea what that means). There appears to be no other way to get into contact with Apple.
After some research I found the following 'bypass': when I disable Windows XP compatibility mode for Adobe CS3 Bridge the problem disappears. But, the reasons why I enabled Windows XP Compatibity mode for Adobe CS3 Bridge (rightclick | properties | compatibility) is that it appears that CS3 Bridge tends to loose my preferences at unpredictable intervals. In particular the setting: [V] Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge stops working after a while (few weeks). All of a sudden, double-click opens Camera Raw in CS3 Photoshop instead of in CS3 Bridge.

Switching from a 4g to 3g phone and then back ..weekly.. sim card?

If this has been asked already I apologize...I've seen different answers and I just want to get it straight.
If I have a 4g phone ( sim card) and want to go back to a 3g phone (I'd like to do this several times a week). How can I do this without requiring a new sim card? Before, between 3g phones, all I had to do was call *228 and that was that...can anyone explain the easy way to do this?

So I got a Samsung s4 when it was free upgrade and then I switched back to my basic cell phone so I could give the S4 away., I've done this switching from smartphone to basic phone multiple times in the past and each time they removed the data plan after I switched back to a basic phone.
This is exactly why they changed the policy. They were losing money on the smartphone you would by, but then only pay access charge for voice and no data. The data profit was built into their business model to pay for the higher price of the smartphone.

Firefox focus issues

Hi!
I have a sometimes very irritating problem with Firefox. I have a Logitech G7 mouse with a tiltable wheel that I've set up to change tabs in forefox, and a sidebutton that I use to close tabs with. I'm just using xbindkeys to bind the mouse buttons to ctrl+page up, ctrl+page down and ctrl+w. The thing is that firefox sometimes seems to loose focus, and ignores keyboard commands. For example when I close my current tab with my mouse or by pressing ctrl+w, and then try to close the next tab too, it doesn't work. I have to click on another window or on the desktop to make firefox loose focus, and then click on firefox again. Then it starts working temporarily again.
I'm using Firefox 3.0b2 from AUR right now, but I had the same problem with Firefox 2 from extra too. I use gnome with metacity. I also have a couple of plugins installed, but I have tried without any plugins too. I also have the same problem on my laptop, and both my computers use Arch64.
So, does anyone know a solution to this? It's not such a big deal really, but I gets really annoying sometimes.

Aha... and I thought I am the only with Firefox issue
I use "wmii" and my Firefox always looses focus. In wmii, you can change to different TAGS (like Desktops in GNOME) using "ALT-#" If i have 3 tags opened and Firefox is running on tag-2 and I go to tag-3 to check my messages in pidgin and come back with "ALT-2" I do not see Firefox. I see only border of Firefox and between the border i see my background wallpaper . Clickign with mouse does not bring the focus in anyway..... Quite funny though.. It is happening very frequently , nearly all the time, even if I kill Firefox using <killall firefox-bin> or <kill -9 PID> , the problem remains as it is when I start Firefox again :\
This also seems to be a different problem from what I'm experiencing, but it seems like there are lots of different firefox focus issues. From your description it almost seems like firefox has crashed for you, since it is no longer drawing itself. Have you tried running firefox from a terminal, to see if you get any error messages?

BO 6.5 switching from SQL Sql Server 2000 to 2005

Need information for BO 6.5 on issues switching from Sql Server 2000 to Sql Server 2005.
Thanks in advance for any information!

If you're migrating the Repository database as well from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005, you need to also to update the security files by taking the steps below:
1. Stop the server
2. Rename the existing security files (bomain.key and bomain.lsi)
3. Run the Safe Recovery to regenerate a new bomain.key
4. Run the Scan, Repair and Compact of the Repository
5. Copy the new bomain.key to the locdata located at u2026\nodes\<server>\<cluster>\locdata

Since I switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox, the Celeb Daily link I've always visted will no longer show the images / pictures. Cannot figure out why.

Celeb Daily is a celeb picture site that you can vote a rating of 12 different pics "daily". Since switching from Int. Exp. to Firefox they no longer come up, only texts & boxes. What gives? I am far from computer savvy. Don't go all technical on me if it's fixable. Thanx.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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

I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file down

Hej!
I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file downloading, accessing Web pages, none of it works. What is the error?
Ronnie.

When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment and displays the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Are you seeing that, or is Firefox just freezing and you're killing it?
Assuming you have crashes, you can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
If that's not possible, have you tried Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

I switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox and was so happy. Then I took the prompt and converted to Firefox 4.0 and now my computer is so slow it is almost unbearable. How do I switch back to Firefox 3 or some earlier version to get my speed back?

It takes a long time for the computer to warm up and start working, maybe 30 seconds. Just to open an email can take 10 seconds. This is the kind of delay I was experiencing on Internet Explorer before I switched to Firefox 3. It is particularly slow if I am opening a photo attachment. It also can be slow just moving from one tab to another. Help!

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use
your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of
installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Why does firefox hang up and say it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage?

firefox hangs up and says it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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 [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

Firefox doesn't update plugins like that. The worst you might see is a "nag" from Firefox after an update, about that plugin being outdated; and you can dismiss that "nag" by just closing it.

I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox and my bookmarks don't appear to have been transferred. The FAQ's say it should be in a folder marked Internet Explorer in the "Bookmarks Menu", but it's not there.

Did you see a "Bookmark" tab in your Menu Bar? All of your IE Favorites should be there if you pull it down.
FYI, It's called Bookmarks in Firefox.

Since I installed Lion, I cannot switch from previous to next page in Chrome nor Firefox with the "swippe" on my mouse.

Since I installed Lion, I cannot switch from previous to next page in Chrome nor Firefox. Swipping on my mouse, it switches screens instead of the previous behavior. How do I set it back to the function "previous/next"? Thanks

page switching is now a two finger gesture but I have heard this does not work in Chrome and Firefox, they will need an update...

Elements 9 Switching from Windows to Mac - two big issues

I've just started looking into the process of switching from Elements on Windows to Elements on the Mac. For the most part, the two versions appear to be quite similar in looks and functionality. There are however two major gaps (in my opinion) in functionality that really make me question whether I'll move forward with Elements on the MAC. Hopefully these are planned enhancements and I was hoping that someone would have some insight on the issue.
First, there is no EXPORT feature that I can see on the Mac version. I used this all the time on Windows(Organizer->File->Export as New File). A huge gap if one uses the product for building personal photo websites.
Second, and maybe I just missed some setting, but the SAVE behavior when you EDIT photos places both the original and Edited version of the photo in the default Save Location as indicated in the product Preferences. So what I have seen is that it takes both the originals and edited versions and moves them. Again, this seems to be a major difference from how the Windows versions handles this. Seems as if the default should be to leave the photo's where they are.
If anyone has a solution to these issues I'd appreciate the help.

First of all, I know for a fact there was another user on a Windows platform indicating Shutterfly was an option.
Secondly, right on Elements' website it indicates it is partnered with Kodak, Shutterfly and even Costco (now Costco, I think you need to buy the program right at Costco warehouse if I understand the disclaimer, which would mean a trial, downloaded or purchased anywhere else would not have Costco listed as an option). http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/family/partneroffers/
