Fire fox continues to ask permission to update my system

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

Fire Fox asks permission to update the system every time it is started.

After reinstalling Fire Fox it started asking permission to update my system. If I give permission then it starts normally. If I decline it does not start as I would expect it to do.

Error updating mutation history every time I start LabVIEW

I have a slightly annoying problem that has been re-occuring the past month or so. Every time I start LabVIEW I get the following error messages:
Error occured updating the mutation history for Progam (2).lvclass. All values of this class in controls and constants will be reset to the default value
The same error appears for Page (2).lvclass, Chart (2).lvclass, Worksheet (2).lvclass and Workbook (2).lvclass.
It slows down my LabVIEW startup time by at least 3-4 minutes every time, which is quite annoying. I imagine the problem is occuring when it populates my existing projects, and in one of these projects contains the problem lvclass files. But I did a search of my ProgramFiles\NationalIntruments folder and my work directory and didn't find any files of those names. Just wondering if any one had any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks!

Okay, seems like I found the problem. Yes, to answer your question, most of my LabVIEW programming is OO, using GOOP mainly.
I also imported hundreds of LabVIEW libraries where these lvclass files were, they were in ImportedLib\DataLogger\LabVIEW widgets\ActiveX
It's not code I've written, but I don't see why including these files was necessary in the repo, oh well. To get rid of the error I just removed those files and the mutation error stopped appearing. What's still a little confusing is why these files were being accessed on LabVIEW startup. I can imagine it necessary to load these files when the project is opened, but seems weird when it's just populating the existing projects list.
Oh well, thanks for looking into it Andy, files were not in the NI folder which explains why I didn't find them on my first attempt.

Asked to Sign-in to iCloud every time I start my Mac since upgrading to Yosemite

Since upgrading to Yosemite every time I start my computer it goes through the normal grey screen stage and then I get to login as normal. After logging in I then get asked to sign-in to iCloud. I sign-in successfully and agree to the terms and conditions, choose to upgrade to iCloudDrive and then it says setting up my Mac, which takes about 20 seconds before the desktop displays. I'd expect this behaviour on the first reboot after installing Yosemite but it's asking me to sign-in to iCloud every time I restart and taking me through all these steps!
I'm on iMac, Late 2012, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB

Just to say I never found a solution to this after hours of looking for answers and trying different things. I finally decided to take the plunge and reformat my hard drive and reinstall OS X Yosemite and now is all good on this front.

PowerBook G4 Battery Updater comes up every time I start my PowerBook.

I recently ran the utility application PowerBook G4 Battery Updater (after getting the impression that my battery doesn't last as long as it should anymore). The program told me that an update is not necessary. I quit the application. Since then, every time I boot the computer, the app opens automatically. Any ideas how to stop this? I don't know where the corresponding command or script or whatever it is may be stored.
PowerBook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and remove the updater from the list of login or startup items for your account.

"SMG Updated" message displayed every time I start-up my MacBook Pro...

Hopefully someone can help me fix an annoying bug. Recently I upgraded the SMG firmware for my MacBook Pro via Software Update. Not super computer savvy myself, so not sure what that does, but it said I needed to do it.
Now, every time I restart or boot up my MacBook, it gives me a message saying:
"Your computer's SMC firmware is up-to-date with version 1.3 of the MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update." I then have to click ok to get it to go away.
Will it always do this now? Obviously not a mission critical issue, but it is annoying. And I wonder if down the road it will screw up other installations that require a restart.
Can I get my mac to stop displaying the message?

And apparently it is SMC, not SMG. Too much Call of Duty, I think...

Why does java want administrator permission to change my system every time I start Firefox?

Java is runtime 6, update 31. What's up? It is _not_ set to run as administrator and _not_ set for any compatibility mode.

First, please update your Firefox. Firefox 3.6.8 is extremely out of date, unstable and insecure. Please read [[Updating Firefox|Updating Firefox]].

Logic asks for serial number every time I start it...

Hi,
I've just reinstalled Logic Studio and it asks me for a serial number every time I start up Logic Pro if I don't have the old XS key inserted.
It's the upgrade version and in the past i've just needed to insert the XS Key at installation, not evey time I use it.
I'm using Logic Pro (lastest update) with Lion which Apple says is supported.
Can anyone help?

I had this issue when I upgraded. I resolved it by inserting the key before I started the upgrade and left it in there and then valdidate it with the serial. After that it never asked for the key again. If this is not working you might want to contact support and they probably provide a new serial key.

I have an iMac OS X ver 10.7.5. Processor speed is 3.06 GHz intel core i3, and the memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz RAM. My online banking app is being updated and requires OS ver 10.8 or newer. When I ask for available updates, the system says there are none available. How can I update my system to ver 10.8 or newer to accommodate the new banking app?

You can update directly to Yosemite (for free) through the App Store (this is 10.10). Make sure your existing applications will run on this OS.
If you wish to stay at 10.8, you can order this through the online Apple Store (it's $20), and they will email you a redemption code to be used on the App Store.

Every time I start Fire fox an error appears that reads UNABLE TO CONNECT. I believe I accidently hit BLOCK rather then ALLOW. How to I reverse my mistake?

Every time I start Fire fox an error appears that reads......
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Why am I asked to join a WiFi network every time i open my computer?

Why I am asked to join a WiFi network every time I open my computer?

Make sure your Mac is up to date with all Apple Software Updates.
Then:
Go to System Preferences > Network. Select Wi-Fi or AirPort from the left column. Click the Advanced... button.
Under the Preferred Networks list, select every Wi-Fi network that appears, including the one you want to use, and delete every one using the "–" (minus) button. Select the box "Remember networks this computer has joined" if it is not already selected.
OK then Apply.
Select your wireless network in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu, provide your wireless network password, and determine if that solves its connection problems.
If the above does not resolve the problem, follow the steps in these Apple Support documents:
OS X: Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity

I can't seem to update my software, every time I do it says that there is a problem and to close everything that is open. Once I close everything it still doesn't work. How do I get it to complete?

Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk to install software updates...
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

FCP 10.0.1 update now crashes every time I launch it!

FCP update now crashes every time I launch it! Won't even open a project I started last week with version 10.0.0.
I have a deadline at work so I've now got a big problem! I'm trying to give the new and supposedly improved FCPX a shot but this app is turning out to be a real hack. What other professional video editing software do you guys use? Anyone use Premier Pro? I have Premier pro and think I should probably start my new projects in it. As I said....this app is a real mess.
FYI: Same problem for my 1 year old MacBook Pro (8G ram, i7 processor) AND my Mac Pro (16G ram, 2 x 3GHz quad core processors, 4-1TB hardrives.

I don't know who these friends are, but they're certainly misinformed and they don't appear to be doing you any favours.
There are a great number of professional editors who have used Final Cut Pro since version 4 - but took the trouble to
a. Find out the system and install requirements for FCP X
b. Watch professional tutorials such as Ripple Training and actually LEARN how to use this ground breaking new application.
They (and I) are having very few issues with FCP X - especially since the update.
If you're getting crashes, autosave problems etc, there is more than likely some conflict on your system drive.
Create a new (admin) user on your Mac system and try FCP X from there.
I did this, and FCP X worked perfectly on the new account, meaning there was definitely a conflict on my existing system.
To be absolutely certain my MacPro's system was squeaky clean, I then did a clean reinstall (not TimeMachine) and FCP X has worked reliably ever since.
FCP X application should be in your Applications folder and ideally, your project and events should all be on an external HD and not on your Mac system drive.
I have around 4000 clips distributed between six events at the moment and FCP X is coping very well most of the time.
It helps to work without the waveforms displayed as these slow things down considerably.
Do you have FC Studio or a version of FCP on the same drive partition as FCP X?
This is what Apple say on their current web page on installation practice:
"It is strongly recommended that you install Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and Compressor 4 on a startup disk that does not have Final Cut Studio (2009) already installed. Use Apple's preferred installation procedure when upgrading one version of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Studio to the next. This procedure is not unique to Final Cut Pro X."
They do go on to say "if you must" have the two on the same partition, FCS must be located in a different folder - but I would have thought the words "strongly recommended" and "if you must" speak for themselves.

ITunes 10.7 keeps asking for password every time it starts

So, ever since updating to iTunes 10.7, it *continually* asks me for my Apple ID password twice every time I start iTunes.
This is getting quite annoying. Is this a bug, or is there something that needs to be set to make this stop happening?

Have you ever been able to successfully remain connected to this wifi? Do any other devices connect and stay connected to this wifi? Have you checked to see if there is a firmware update for your router? The last step would be to restore your iPhone, first from a backup and if that doesn't work, then as a new device, or not from a backup. See this support document about restoring http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
