Has anyone else noticed a RADICAL increase in popups under the new version of Firefox when clicking on links in Yahoo mail?
The question says it all. The one advantage that Internet Explorer has always had is that it can block ALL popups, even the ones that might be advantageous to the user, while Firefox only blocks most popups. Since the upgrade to the new version, however, I've noticed that the rate of popups has JUMPED, especially when I go to different parts of my Yahoo mail account. Like with any other unwanted popup, I close the window immediately upon its appearance, so I see little purpose in them at all, but that, of course, is another topic for another time.
hello luislast, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware/malware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].

Has anyone else noticed a remarkable increase in use of the fan for Os X Lion on the MacBook Air?
..Basically the fan almost never came on before, now it seems to run continuously an dthe body feels hotter. I noticed this from Day 1 of using Lion!
Yes I noticed that too, and was actually searching about this here when I found your post!
Never heard the sound of the fans before updating to lion on the MPA 11" (1st rev)!!
Sure I dont use the Air for heavy work, as I have a working station for that, but come on, reeder+safari+mail, and fans are ON!!!! and I noticed it's running hot too!
iStat menu says it runs most the time around 48%, and SystemUIserver Windowserver are the 2 top process I see most of the time in the list!
I suspect something is up with full screen app, multiple desktop.
It i definitely Lion related. Really annoying, as the MBA feels not snappy at all as it used to be under 10.6.8!!
I will downgrade if things doesnt improve quickly.

Has anyone else noticed a problem with iOS 7 on the iPhone 4?
I have noticed that since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 that the status bar at the top of the screen is blurred. This includes AT&T symbol, the status bar, and the battery icon. Sometimes, the app names are also blurred. Is there a fix for this? Please help!
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have tried ALL the troubleshooting steps recommended and you still have the issue, then there's nothing else you can do. Bring the phone in to Apple for evaluation and probable replacement. -
Has anyone else had problems with their macbook freezing with the new OS Lion?
Mine kept freezing in iPhoto and had to turn computer off?
Without proper system information nobody can tell you anything. there could be any number of reasons why the download gets corrupted from virus scanners accessing the files and damaging them to your harddrive being damaged or fragmented to a bad network connection already corrupting it... Check al lthat stuff, turn off the pertinent components, clean up your drive.

Shortly after installing FF29.0 I noticed that the bookmarks menu from the 'Menu Bar' - NOT the new one that appears on the right of the screen - was not working correctly: specifically, when right-clicking on a bookmark to look for 'Open in a New tab' all the options were greyed out and I now realize that this occurs after exiting the 'Customize' screen, which effect I have consistently duplicated several times now; to restore functionality I have on each occasion had to close and re-open Firefox. This error does not appear to occur with the new bookmark menu that is associated with the bookmark icon at the top right of the screen. Has anyone else noticed this error?
(Personally, I prefer the bookmark menu from the menu bar, which incidentally I find easier to read than the new one and I like menu bars anyway.)
Many thanks.Thank you for your input. If you have more input on the new features please check out [input.mozilla.org]
The bookmar bar is still available with the add on bar add on. Check it out in [addons.mozilla.com] -
osx 10.7.4 safari 6.0 When I add a new bookmark to the "bookmarks menu" it is added somewhere in the middle instead of at the end of the list. This just started a few days ago after an update. Has anyone else noticed this?.
Just for those who are interested, this is what cleared the "bookmark menu" trbl I had.
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Bookmarks, then reselect it.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark again. -
Has anyone else noticed this bug with multitasking gestures on iOS 5?
I recently updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and have just noticed this bug with multitasking gestures.
If you're currently in an app and use the four-finger swipe up to open the app switcher, and then subsequently close another app that's open in the background from the switcher, the app doesn't seem to fully close. What I mean is that if you now use the four-finger swipe right/left to switch apps, when you get to the place where that app you closed was, it's still open, and after you view it, it pops back into the app switcher. It seems like the multitasking gestures feature isn't recognizing that you've closed the app and that it should skip it from now on.
If you do the above steps again, but this time after you close the app from the switcher, use the five-finger pinch to go back to the home screen, it seems to clear the "cache" being used by the the gestures feature. Now if you go back into any app and swipe left to right, the closed app won't load up anymore (which is how it should correctly work).
Has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone else reproduce the bug as I described? I'd appreciate it if an Apple employee could confirm that this is a bug in iOS 5 and not just something wrong on my end. Thanks in advance.02-May-200702:03 PM

Hi keffa
After the time spent and attention to detail in replicating this fault, I do think that you should email your findings to Nokia Care to be found on:
http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4222231
This is after all a discussion forum and others may find the same bug, but until it is logged at Nokia there is little chance of future modification if required!
Done already. They may of course have corrected this in the 11.x firmware currently being rolled out but as I don't yet have access to it I can't say.

Using Adobe PhotoShop CS4, I cannot add text to a new layer. It was always a snap with previous versions of OS 10. Has anyone else noticed issues with CS4 and Lion? Many thanks in advance. Pete Hendricks
Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.

If I try to look up a local business on the Maps App it drops a pin on all of the locations matching my search parameters. However, when I get details about a dropped pin, the phone number is usually missing the area code! For example, if the phone number is +1 (123) 555-5555 it would show up as +1 (555) 555-5. This makes it impossible to call directly from the maps app or to copy and paste infront of a manually entered area code (because of the '+1'). Has anyone else noticed this?
Have you checked to make sure that your region settings are correct?

I've noticed that when wearing headphones the sound is much louder in the right headphone than the left one. This wasn't a problem before. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix if so?
Did you try different headphones!?
If it's sounding the same thing on different headphones then you might have changed the Left-Right balance
Have a look at Settings -> General -> Accessibility
There's a slider for L-R
If it's in the center then the headphone through which you're facing the problem might be damaged, try twisting the headphone wire of the speaker of the headphone (left or right) where you are encountering less volume.
If it's sounding altogether same on all the circumstances, the headphone jack might be damaged. Get your phone to the Apple Store and book an appointment
Try these steps and it will solve your question -
The Apple app store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me. I bought this computer (early 2011 macbook pro 17 in) new in oct 2011 it came with Lion installed has anyone else noticed this?
Barney,I did as you suggested and emailed app store support qutioning why the app store didn't recognize my OS LION software as purchased even though all of the iLife apps that came bundled with it are recognized as PURCHASED and here was the email response from robert@ the app store....< I understand that you are trying to re-install the OS X Lion as you had a Hard Drive crash but it is not showing as purchased from your Mac App Store purchase pane.
As the Mac OS X Lion was pre-installed to your computer , it will not be recognized as purchased in the Mac App Store, and because of that it is not available fro re-download for free. Also, computers that come preinstalled with Lion do not ship with the disk.
Dana, not worry as OS X Lion has a self recovery feature.

Has anyone else noticed that Adobe Camera Raw 7.x exhibits odd behavior compared to version 6.x?
I have found no discussion of this subject on Adobe's forums, so I am asking here. I find that Adobe Camera Raw 7.x's "auto" mode frequently produces overexposed images with lots of blowouts necessitating much more manual tweaking than was required with the older 6.x series of plug-ins. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

Adobe is great software but has anyone else noticed that Corel has a better line drawing tool?
Adobe is great software but has anyone else noticed that Corel has a better line drawing tool? I end up doing all my line drawing in Corel because it is so simple and then importing it into adobe. You would think, with all these updates that they are constantly doing Adobe would think to simplify it's pen tool. I'm talking about the pen tool in illustrator. Don't even get me started on the bloody rubbish pen tool they've got in photoshop. It makes deep etching something properly a really agonising task.
I'm not sure that I followed everything, but you got a replacement phone and continue to experience problems? It sounds like a logical move would be to have AT&T replace your SIM card. I would doubt that the size/fit is an issue, these things are a standard size, but replacing the SIM will have an impact on the network set-up that might be the root cause.

Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times, it still doesn't work.
Greetings Blueleoapple,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:

How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,
