For some reason when I download the firefox browser from the 'official' mozilla site, it is downloading to my desktop and its files to my desktop even though safari is set to download all files into applications. How do I change this?

When I download firefox from the official mozilla site on my imac it is downloading its files to my desktop, covering my desktop in junk and I can't get rid of it as it is part of the browser. Why is it doing this? Why isn't it downloading to the right place?

Usually the icon on a file will provide indication of hte application used to open it. Highlight the file in Finder and Get Info on it. It should say what is used to open it.
iTunes will not play all file formats. Even some formats such as mp3 which it should in theory play it will not play all versions of the format. Those mp3s may play okay in Quicktime but the file has some small aspect to it which iTunes will not recognize.

HT4839 PLEASE HELP!!! I am simply trying to update the APN settings on my Iphone3 AT&T carried Straight Talk SIM phone. For some reason, when I enter the Straight Talk APN info in the Config Utility and click "Install", NOTHING HAPPENS. WHY?

PLEASE HELP!!! I am simply trying to update the APN settings on my Iphone3 AT&T carried Straight Talk SIM phone. For some reason, when I enter the Straight Talk APN info in the Config Utility and click "Install", NOTHING HAPPENS. WHY? I have spent almost 2 full days simply trying to get the cellular data network settings to appear and I am now at the point of pulling hair and/or smashing things. Why is it so difficult to simply update the cellular data network APN settings on a standard Iphone 3 ATT with a unlimited Straight Talk plan? Everyone knows that Straight Talk's $45 a month unlimited data/calling plan is supposed to be 100% compatible with AT&T carried Iphones. Will someone please tell me HOW TO UPDATE THE APN SETTINGS ON THIS IPHONE 3. Thanks and God bless

StraightTalk is not a supported carrier.
Contact them for support.
FYI, unless the device is officially unlocked from AT&T, you will not be able to use it on another carrier.

HT1349 For some reason, when I pressed the power button...

When I went to go turn on my MacBook pro with Retina Display, the screen remained blank and black. In addition, the fan (it sounds like the fan) in the hard-drive of the laptop is making a lot of noise... what is wrong with my computer? It has been going on for about 10 minutes now.

The first thing I would try is press and hold the power button until the fan goes off, then perform an SMC reset.

Some of the trackpad gestures like App Exposé and switching between fullscreen apps not working, even though I specifically set them on in system preferences. How do I fix this?

They were working up until today and I didn't update anything and my trackpad is still working otherwise.

I've tried looking in the Preferences menu, which had nothing that could help me.
PS In 10.6, there is a Kotoeri preferences box at the bottom of the first tab called "Show Predicted Candidates". Is this checked for you? (I think in 10.4 this is still in Japanese and might be different). In the third tab, there is also a setting related to the number of conversions. And in the last two tabs there are dictionaries that can be either open or closed. I gather you have tried all of these without success?

For some reason, when my Macbook Pro starts up, all of the MS Office applications open. This was not happening when I first purchased the laptop, and I never added these apps to the startup menu. How do I remove these apps from startup?

By default Mac apps do not close when you close the window you were working in. Unlike in Windows when you click the top right X icon in any program is closes the window and the program shuts down. On Mac OS X clicking the X in the top left hand corner only closes that windows and leave the program running in the background. If they are left open and you reboot they will restart with the system and load a window for them.

For some reason when my daughter sends a text to someone else I get it and vice versa. Also, when I send a text to her the text comes to me as well. How do I stop this from happening?

This is iMessages, not an SMS/MMS, and this means the same Apple ID is registered for iMessage on each iPhone.
You or your daughter need to activate your own Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. The same Apple ID can continue to be shared for iTunes store downloads - for music and apps.
On the iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Select the Apple ID at the top and sign out. Sign in with the new Apple ID.
Make sure the same email address is not available below You can be reached by iMessage at on each iPhone.

Went through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights. This started today when I was prompted to re-enter incoming mail server passwords. I re-entered passowrds yet again to make sure they were correct. Rebuilt the inBox. Connection Doctor continues to show all green lights, but am still unable to download mail to the inbox. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
