Fix didn't work, nor did reimport of 32 GB

After trying Chris CA's fix, the music library was still incorrect, despite "Copy files to iTunes" being checked.
I created a new, empty library. Impoertd one cd. Quit. - THe library works where it is and all iTunes 'special' files are in place -
I then opened iTunes, and dropped good copies of my iTunes music into the library window. After an all night copying session, I am left with the following.
1 album (the original) in my library.
iTunes with the correct library address, but all the music added.
(Odd, I thought, as there is only one album fodler in the iTunes Music folder)
So i got info on a few tracks.
iTunes has placed them all in the Trash, maintaining the folder structure.
The iTunes .xml file says that they arelocated in:
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/Pythagoras160/RAH%20iTunes%20Library/iTunes%20Music/_.. And%20You%20Will%20Know%20Us%20By%20the%20Trail%20of%20Dead/The%20Best%20(Live)%20-%20Single/01%20The%20Best.m4p</string>
But the info on the track in the iTunes library says, emphasis mine,
Pythagoras160:.Trashes:501:new iTunes Library:_..And You Will Know US By The Trail of Dead:The Best (Live) - Single:01 The Best.m4p
And, despite it being in the trash, it plays.
Suggestions on how I can get all of my music into that folder and have iTunes realise that it is there? Telling it to copy the music into the folder in preferences doesn't seem to have worked.
No, I'm not planning on emptying the trash.

Do you have the orange Firefox button, which is an abbreviated menu?
If you have no menus ''and'' no toolbars, check that you're not in full screen mode. Use the F11 key to switch between full screen and normal modes.
To reset your menus and toolbars, you can use Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, close Firefox, hold the Shift key on the keyboard, and restart. You should get a dialog with various reset options. The only one to check is toolbars. More info: [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode].
Does that help?

Where are the forward/back, refresh,etc- f11 didn't help nor did dragging from the left of the 'y' as suggested---help?om

Do not have the page forward/back arrows, refresh icon, etc in my toolbar. Saw where this has happened on your page & recommendation was to 'drag' from the left of vertical bar next to the 'Y' in Yahoo- didn't work. Also said to hit the F11 key for Firefox users- didn't work.

I recently installed FF 29.0 and found loads of issues with it, Noia 4 did not work nor did Fox Clocks along with other issues. Have these been fixed in 29.1???

Is FF 29.1 just the same as FF 29.0 where we the user loose control of our browser and can't customise it to our liking. If so how do I stop the annoying pop ups telling me to install it because security issues or not I'm staying with FF 28.0. Thanks peoples for any replies they are very much appreciated cheers.

hello jazzie5, on the noia 4 page the theme's author stated that the development has discontinued - as an alternative you can use https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noia-fox/
for fox clocks & firefox 29 please see this helpful comment by a user of the extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxclocks/reviews/582886/

Automatic Update Firmware Fix didn't work?

I have some graphic pixel glitches and sometimes my iMac is freezing. So I wait until Apple released the Firmware fix. When I installed the Firmware Fix using the automatic updater I noticed that the updater didn't want to restart my iMac - which makes me wonder because I think a firmware update is something to restart your Mac - or am I wrong.
Ok, after the Update I made myself a restart and my iMac freezed withing a minute and I had some pixel glitches on my Desktop. So I moved my iMac to the Apple Store for replacement.
Yesterday I got a call from them - saying that I didn't made the Firmware Fix and they did it now and that everything is working now?? So I ask myself, did the update manager didn't install the firmware fix propper?
To all of you still having problems with your iMac - try to download the patch and install it manualy again - if the patch don't shout that it is installed already - install it and your problems should be gone.

Thanks Steve,
but what I wonder about is that the firmware update was in my regular automatic update list. I installed the update as any other updates but the Mac didnt restart after this update. I thought this is ok but it seems not. So I think the firmware update that comes with the regular updater had a problem and didnt install propper without letting the user know. At the Apple Store they found out that the firmware update is not installed - I think this is a bit confusing to people who only run the normal updater and don't know how to install a firmware update. So if there are any more people out there who think that they did the firmware update - but the freezing or pixel problems are still happen - download the firmware manualy and install the firmware update again. If the update is already installed you get a message so there is no way to harm your mac.

New keyboard shortcut didn't work; neither did resetting default

I wanted to create a new keyboard shortcut for sending mail, so I used the system prefs pane like the help file said (new application shortcut, select mail, etc). After creating my new shortcut (^X), it initially didn't appear in the Message menu for Mail. I quit Mail and restarted, and voila - but hitting ^X didn't send my message. That's annoying.
So I figured I'd set the shortcut back, and hit the Restore Default button in the keyboard shortcuts preferences. The listing for the shortcut I created disappeared from the menu, but even after quitting Mail several times, and restarting the machine, Menu - Send still lists ^X as its shortcut. Which would be fine with me, but it still doesn't send my message when I hit ^X.
My shortcut doesn't work, and resetting the defaults doesn't seem to be resetting what Mail thinks the shortcut is. Any thoughts? I'm on OSX 10.4.7, Mail is 2.1.

I used the wiki to compile it with ABS. It failed because I forgot to set it to be able to read EXT partitions, which it is located on.

Abiword slow smoothscrolling FAQ fix didn't work

I love abiword but this laggy scrolling is driving me nuts. The FAQ solution did nothing. The custom section of Abiword.Profile looks like this:
<Scheme
name="_custom_"
ZoomType="100"
RulerUnits="cm"
AutoSaveFile="1"
EnableSmoothScrolling="0"
ExtraBarVisible="1"
/>
Is there some trick to editing xml? I used leafpad.
There is a EnableSmoothScrolling="1" entry in the builtin section at the top of the file, but when I set it to 0 it just resets itself.
Thanks very much! I recently got printing working, audio, consistent Chinese fonts, 'open with' working in pcmanfm, and some other things, this is actually my last niggling issue. For now...

Firefox won't open and the steps in tutorial didn't help nor did uninstalling and re-installing

Hi,
I have been thru the tutorial and none of the steps solved the problem I am having with firefox. I just installed it on a new computer and it won't open. It says that it cannot run until process is ended or computer is restarted. Restarting and ending the process don't seem to help. The other tutorial step of deleting the lock file doesn't work either as I could not find a lock file.

Right... Back to square one.
- Open Internet Explorer, go to "www.mozilla.com" and download the installer for Firefox 3.6.12 and save it to your desktop.
- To uninstall Firefox, first make sure no "firefox.exe" processes are running on your machine: Open the task manager (invoke it by pressing ctrl-alt-del and choosing the appropriate option), click on the "Processes" tab, click on the heading "Name" to sort all running processes by name.
Scroll down the list and right-click on the first "firefox.exe" process picking the "Kill process" option. If there's more than one of them, repeat for all instances of "firefox.exe".
- Now go to the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall and double-click "helper.exe". This should uninstall Firefox completely.
- Now we're in for the hard part: Go to C:\Dokuments and Settings\[Your User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. That's where your profile resides. Unless you're using the Profile Manager, chances are you're seeing just one directory "[random string],default". (In my case it's called "4sr92zjz.default", f. ex.).
If you got any bookmarks you'd like to keep, open this folder, find the file "places.sqlite" and move it to your desktop.
Now delete the entire contents of your profile folder--you'll need to configure firefox anew. Do keep this window open, you'll need it again in a few moments.
Go to your desktop, run the installer, start Firefox once, close it again and move your "places.sqlite" file from your desktop to your profile folder.
Now double-click Firefox and reconfigure it according to your preferences.
N.B.: Do get "MozBackup". With this application you're able to save and restore a working Firefox profile--for your next mishap ;-)

Some emails keep being reloaded, even from 2+years ago. Forum-suggested fixes didn't work.

Tbird regularly loads emails 2, 3, even 4 or more times from my Hotmail account. (Some, not all - seems random.) Sometimes, I've read them but not deleted them, but most times, I've already deleted them from Tbird (though I still want them in Hotmail). I know it's not because I'm being sent the message more than once, because some are automatic, news updates, and others are suddenly showing up from weeks ago. Other forum suggestions have not worked - I've deleted hidden trash files, removed everything from inbox to local folders, deleted trash and junk, compacted all folders (had already been doing this periodically), etc., and NOTHING CHANGES. I started deleting a bunch of old emails from my inbox (had accumulated too many, I know), and now it wants to download 1900 messages every time I try to get mail - even emails from 2012! I can't use Tbird at all now. One forum suggested that I change from POP3 to IMAP, but I want to keep emails in folders on my PC, because I live in Uganda and can't always get online, but need info from the msgs. I don't want to lose emails in the online site either, so I don't want to delete them from there. I've never had this prob before, and I've used Tbird for YEARS. Ready to drop it and try another client. HELP!

It sounds like your Popstate.dat file has got corrupted.
It keeps a record of what has been downloaded so that it does not redownload emails. Clearly, something has wrong.
You would need to delete the 'popstate.dat file and then Thunderbird will create a new one. The downside is that it will download everything that is on your server Inbox again, but just once.
If you really need to store email on the webmail account, I would do the following in the order shown to avoid downloading all those emails.
'''1. Logon to webmail using a browser.'''
Pop mail accounts can only get access to the server Inbox, so move all your older emails - eg: everything older than eg: a month into other folders in the webmail account.
This will prevent a complete redownload of all those emails.
''' 2. make hidden files and folders visible on your computer'''
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
'''3. Locate popstate.dat file '''
In Thunderbird:
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* Click on 'Show Folder'
A new window opens showing your Profile folder.
* '''Close Thunderbird now - this is important'''
* Click on 'Mail' folder
* click on mail account name
* locate and delete this file: '''popstate.dat'''
Restart Thunderbird.
It will download anything left in the webmail server Inbox.
You can easily remove the duplicate emails.

I am not sure. Do you have a back up of your computer? If you do great. If not, It is recomended. But this is what I would do...hold down both the command key, and the R key at the same time imediately after you start the comupter and wait till a menu comes up, it is going to ask you a). do you want to reinstall Lion, and b) repair permissions. Choose option b. repair permissions. A new screen will come on, and you select the 2nd hard drive on the left hand column, then click "repair permissions". When it is done just close all the windows by pressing the little red dot. The computer will attempt to restart. If it does, I would back up all your infomation if your able to... (eventually I advise to reinstall Lion). Ok... lets say the computer restarts and you still have the same problem... I would hold down the power button for three seconds, that will force the computer to shut down. Then press the power key, and imediately after that, Then, again, hold down the command key and the R key both at the same time after the computer starts. This time you are going to select option a.) reinstall Lion. Your data should be fine (hoping). (but iti is always good to have a backup. I use TimeMachine, in the system preferences, by connecting an external hard drive to my router or my computer.) I do not know if it is your logic board. If it is your logic board... that is very serious, and needs to be brought to the Apple store Imediately. But lets not assume the worst... lets think positive- so chances are its not your logic board (hoping).
I added the word "Imediately"

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
mine who lives there.
My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
UK.
Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
go about having the device replaced?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Nice try! Take a hike.

Did ios 8.2 update froze on itunes plug in screen and tried to Reset and that didn't work. Then I had to restore, and then had to go to DFU mode to do so then I had reset to factory mode. Black screen. (I never jail broken ever)

I started out just simply trying to update my iphone 5 to ios 8.2 and it got stuck on the itunes plug in screen. I had to wait till then next day to ask my boyfriend to fix it because I have a chromebook and it can't get itunes. He did everthing apple told us to on the website, and it didn't work. We tried to reset the phone and that didn't work so we did the next thing, and tried to do a restore on itunes. However when did that it wasn't working so we put my phone into DFU and tried to do a factory reset. But, it didn't work and my phone ended up just turning black. I can see the back light on the screen (the light stays up like normally when you turn on the home screen) but, there is no logo or anything. Is there anything I can do to save my phone??? Please help. If you need anymore info let me know!

The Problem is resolved by :
Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.
Thanks to my friend Sunil.

I thought Firefox problem was fixed due to blocked by Firewall, but it didn't work! Msg. Firefox has stopped working still getting it! Wish there was a fix?

I continually get the message: Firefox has stopped working!
I have uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox per help from this forum followed the instructions. That didn't work!
Then I got help from someone else saying go to your Firewall & unblock Mozilla.
I did that & thought it fixed the problem but just opened & closed Firefox & got the same message again!
If there is a fix for this please let me know???
If its possible to go back to the older version please let me know--I did not have this problem until I updated to the latest version!!
I have disabled Photobucket addon, Real Arcade that didn't help.
I have Vista home 32 bit.

Do you recall what version you had previously, i.e., Firefox 20.0 or Firefox 19.0.2?
Firefox 21 is expected to be released on Tuesday, so if you think it might be specific to Firefox 20.0.1, you could install the very-nearly-final version of Firefox 21 from here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/
It wouldn't be a bad idea to make a backup of your current Firefox settings folder first, just in case something goes wrong. This article has tips on that: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]].
