Firefox keeps opening offscreen. I used the move function to get it back onscreen but everytime i reboot it happens again. Is there some setting I can change?

I have 2 displays hooked up, a monitor and my TV(which is usually off). When I hover over the Firefox icon on the taskbar I can see Firefox and the tabs that are open but when I click on them, click restore or maximize nothing happens. i was able to get it back using the move command and somehow either using the arrow keys or moving my mouse I was able to drag the window onto a visible area of my monitor. Is there some setting I need to change so that I don't have to do this every time I reboot? I'm running Windows 8.1. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Firefox stores the last window position in a settings file that can occasionally become corrupted. You could try removing that file and see whether Firefox correctly identifies your primary monitor. Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button to open a new window showing your currently active settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox back up again. Is the window visible?

Depending on your carrier, with AT&T there shouldn't be a problem.
If you with Verizon, you will need to be on Wifi, to do that.

That is exactly what I was trying to determine!
I don't think that this will work but try this first.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Restoring the device may be what you will have to do, but two more things that you can try first are to restore from a backup if you have one....
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If that doesn't work ....
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If none of these things work , you should probably restore the iOS software, but backup your iPad first per the instructions and restore from the backup at the end of the process.

Hi I am in south Africa and wifi is very restricted so I have a 3G card with 5gig cap but when I want to download applications for iPad larger than 20meg it says I must use wifi is there a setting I can change to increase the cap on 3G downloads

Hi I am from south Africa and wi fi is very restricted so I have a 3G card in my iPad and it has a 5 Gig capacity, however when I want to download applications bigger than 20meg it asks for a wifi connection.Is there a setting I can change so to allow a higher capacity 3G downloads?

The R201 MiFi is really nifty. It's the size of a credit card, and a bit thicker. Costs just over R1200 and can connect up to 5 devices. It charges via USB or via the iPad adapter and will give about 3 hours use on a charge. I actually feel that with a MiFi, you don't need any 3G on the iPad.

Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that?

# Question
Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. When I do research on a topic I keep many notepads open until I am finished. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that again?
Also at that time, the length of sentence I am typing changed.
It doesn't seem to have any limit to how far it can extend to the right.
Please help. I am not very techy & don't understand Computerese.
Please explain in everyday English.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Prabhuti,
Thank you so much for all your suggestions & helpful links to get help. I am not very computer literate. I have taken many classes over the years I've had a computer but I am still only a beginner.
I want to tell you that I found a solution to my problem. I finally realized that maybe FF was not the problem but Wind. 7 on my new comp. I went on the 7 Forums & found another person who had the same problem & the answer was simple all I had to do was to right click on the Notepad icon & it would bring up a new Notepad & I could open & minimize as many as I want. I had moved the Notepad icon to my taskbar from the Start menu when I got my new computer.
I have one more question for you. The notepad 2 program was mentioned there along with several others. I think it was about that prog. that someone said that it could open many notepads & when you closed the comp. the notepads would not disappear. Do you know if it was that program? Also is it possible to use that program the same way as I used the original Notepad? There are so many technical options on that program that I didn't understand. All I want to do is open the Notepad & copy & paste my notes in it & minimize them. Not losing them if I shut down the comp. would be real benefit to me. I believe that is the same prog. you recommended to me. Since you seem to understand tech things I thought maybe you could tell me if that is possible?
Thank you so much for all your help.

When I go into iTunes on my Mac is recently takes over the entire screen and I can not get rid of it. Is there a setting I can change to have it work the old way?

When I go into iTunes (the latest update) now, it takes over the entire screen is difficult to remove. Is there a setting I can change in it to have it behave the old way?

I presume you are runnning iTunes on either an OS X 10.7 or OS X 10.8 system. Move the cursor to the very top of the screen so that the menu bar appears, then click the blue box with the arrows at the very right corner of the menu bar, or press Shift-Command-F. That will switch iTunes back to a normal window, which it should then remember for future launches.
Regards.

I have songs both purchased online and downloaded from cd's that itunes is unable to locate. What can I do to get them back and make sure it doesn't happen again as this is the second time this has happened?

Great, that's what I was looking for. Thanks for the quick response. I knew that that feature existed in this router, but I couldn't remember what it was called or where to find it.
The funny thing is, I recall distinctly setting up the DHCP reservation initially, but when I went to check it now, the reserved client list was empty. I have no idea how it could have become depopulated, thus opening the door for internal IP address reassignment of the Remote Desktop computer which led to the RDP ports no longer being forwarded to the right internal IP address and thus the failure of the Remote Desktop connectivity.

I am very new to Macs and iPhoto so this may be an idiot's question, but I have just created my first photo book and want to buy it, but the "buy book" button is not highlighted and when I click it nothing happens. Is there some step I am missing? Thanks!

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

Firefox keeps opening tabs on it's own whether I am on-line or not. I have reset several times and there are no pipe characters in the home page address.

Firefox keeps opening tabs whether I am on-line or not. These are often games pages, but not always. I have reset several times and there are no pipe characters in the home page address. This is not the first time this has happened. The first time was a couple of months ago and a reset cured the problem, but this time it does not. How can I stop this occurring?

'''''If this can happen with Firefox completely closed:'''''
Some malware simply launches pages in your default browser from outside Firefox. Definitely scan for malware using some of the tools listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
There might be an additional step:
Last year, many users reported advertising tabs opening randomly, sometimes even when Firefox was closed. It turned out that a program had created scheduled tasks to open those pages at certain times of day.
You can check the Windows Task Scheduler:
* Windows XP: Start button > [All] Programs > Accessories> System Tools > Scheduled Tasks
* Windows Vista/7: Start button > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler
* Windows 8: ?? You might try the charms bar search box if you don't find it in the control panel.

When I paste a photo from iPhoto into an email, it pastes a URL that is invalid instead of the picture. Is there a setting I can change to fix this?

It started doing this after my husband had to partition the hard drive to support Windows files. I had no trouble previously. I'm not talking about the Share feature, just simply selecting a photo in iPhoto, clicking "command" then "c" to copy and clicking "command" then "v" in the body of an email to paste the photo. Instead of the photo appearing I now get a URL to the local link on my hard drive, which of course the recipient of the email can't access. Help...

Use the supported methods of getting the Photo into the mail message, via the Share menu or the Media Browser.

When using the app store i get kicked back to the home screen?

I will be browsing through the app store on my iPad and all of a sudden the screen goes black for second and then I'm back at the iPad home screen? It happens pretty frequently and only seems to happen when using the app store. I don't understand why I keep gettig kicked back to home screen and any solution would be appreciated.

Im sorry I will try to be more clear.. and I appreciate all of ur input. Wi-fi works fine.. everything opens and functions fine on the I pad. The problem is I will click on app store or the I tunes store...it opens fine and I am able to look at and download apps etc... but after being in the appstore or I tunes store for a couple of minutes I get kicked out to the I pads home screen. Its like pushing the home button but I didn't. It only seems to do this when im in the app store or I tunes store. I have been using the chrome browser and other downloaded apps such as ebay just fine with out this problem occurring. Not sure about safari as I dont use it and use chrome instead. Um I don't think the home button its self is faulty because it works fine and as stated before this only happens when I am in the appstore or I tunes . I've only had this I pad 1 64gb wi-fi for a few days .. I got it off of ebay it was stuck in restore mode getting error code 1611. I was able to successfully Restore it with I tunes and it running ios 5.1. Seams to work great besides the problem being mentioned.

My mac book pro was stolen, i had not backed up time machine on an external hard drive, is there some way i can retrieve my files ? (does the computer save to the internet possibly or the I Cloud ? )

My mac book was stolen and although i had time machine i had not backed up to a current hard drive because that was also stolen. I was wondering if there was some software that allowed me to access my old computer somehow, does it save your files to the internet or to some external system manually ? obviously i know this is unlikely but i thought i would check as the computer had all my work on it.

I try to warn people, that TimeMachine drives tend to get stolen along with everything else.
To make and store bootable clones offsite or in a safe or something.
Most commonly used backup methods
There is nothing you can do, unless the police get luckly and find it, then after many months in evidence you can have it back and pray your files are still there.
