Firefox keeps changing the address of some sites I use, adding 'www' when it isn't part of the URL. How do I stop this?
I'm using Firefox 3.6.13
I googled and found an answer I was willing to try, that required typing about:config into the location bar and changing some parameters. And guess what? It added www. to the beginning and told me it couldn't find the site.
Ummm ... see above ... I '''did '''type about:config into the location bar - and it added www. to it. It's adding www. to '''everything '''in the location bar. It does it if I type in an address manually, if I follow a bookmark, and when I use the 'history' link.
Thus it tried to take me to www.about:config and said it couldn't find it.

I have enabled all cookies, yet some sites say cookies need to be enabled for me to get access. How do I fix this?
First check the settings and try all of the options in the [[websites say cookies are blocked]] article.
In addition to the above, another possible cause is the file that stores cookies is corrupt, if that is the case deleting the file should fix the problem. First you need to locate your profile folder, for details of how to do that see the [[profiles]] article. Once you have opened the profile folder, close Firefox and either delete or rename cookies.sqlite, when you restart Firefox that file will be re-created. -

I downloaded TunesGoWatch by Wondershare. I deleted the app. Every time I turn on my computer I get a popup saying "TunesGoWatch can't be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed." I deleted the app, how do I stop this popup? Your help is truly appreciated
First:
(Apple menu) > System Preferences > Users & Groups > select your account > Login Items.
Determine if that program appears in that list. If it does, select it and then remove it from Login Items with the "–" (minus) button.
Next:
Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears, select Services > Open:
/Library/StartupItems/
If the program or an alias to it appears in that folder, drag it to the Trash.
Next:

When I'm on microsoft word on my macbook air and get to the bottom a the page, a new page does not come up. i have to manually insert one. so then when i go back to edit my work and add something in what ever was at the bottom of the page disappears. how can i stop this from happening or change it so a new page opens by itself?
It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.

I have set up another itunes account by accident. I do not have access to this email as it must belong to someone else. An email verification to set up a new account has been sent to this email know. How do I stop this account from being created?
To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account. When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac. Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

I have an i mac and under images in All My Files it has made hundreds of face photos from all my pictures in i photos, how can I stop this ?
Hmmm, so it's taking new pics all the time?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for pic problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this
There is a setting in the System Preferences for this as well that may be causing it. Go to System Preferences>General>Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps - at the bottom of the window under Number of Recent items. Remove the checkmark from that setting.
Also - if you close all of your windows when you are done with Safari - it should open to your home page. -

I thought it was caused by updating Java, but system restore to before that point hasn't fixed anything. It even crashes when I'm on Mozilla's site looking for solutions!

The windows that open in Firefox both have an address that starts with file:/// and then the directory on my computer to my "temporary internet files". One window displays in text only the history of the e-mails received from the sender. The second window simply says "loading"
That is a bug on Mac.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links

When im on the phone my ear keeps pressing the apps how do i stop it
when im on my phone my ear only has to touch an app and it keeps beeping how do i stop it from happening
If you have a screen protector on the phone, remove that. If that still doesn't work, there is something wrong with your proximity sensor. Make an appointment at your local Apple Store for servicing.
