How Can I Stop From Closing All My Tabs Accidentally?

Just upgraded to OSX 10.8.2. Under the old OSX, if I had multiple tabs open on Safari and hit the Red close button, I would get a warning that said, something like, "Do you really want to close all these tabs?" Now, when I hit the Red close button, it closes everything without asking. It is causing me no end of aggravation. And, yes, I am not the most computer literate person, but I am trying!
I hope that there is some setting I can change, and I have actually tried to investigate a bit, but I have not solved it yet, so your help is appreciated.

It's happened to me several times.

How can I stop from closing all tabs...it says close 2 tabs...I don't want to close all tabs maybe just one

How can I stop from closing all tabs. When it says do you want to close 2 tabs...what if I only want to close one?

My workaround for this is to set up a smart playlist. I hope this is another one of the issues that gets cleard up when Apple eventually releases an 11.1.1 update.

How can I stop from having my volume system increasing?

When ever I listen to music my volume increases by itself. How can I stop it from increasing?

How can I stop from second window opening small in Safari and browser bar floating in and out like the dock?

Every so often I will click on a link in safari and it opens a second window. It opens it small. I can click the two diagonal arrow in the upper right hand corner and go to full view but then the browser bar at th top and all the Safari stuff like file, edit, view, history etc float up out of site. Much like the disappearing dock I can get it come back by going up by it. This is very frustrating. I have fixed it in the past but each time it is very difficult to find out how to do it. First why does this start happening? and if it does how can I get it to go back to the normal way? I will then bookmark the answer so I will be able to fix it quickly if it happens again.

I may not have called things the proper name. I am re-wording this now. Hopefully this makes it clearer.
Every so often,(3 times in 4 months), I will click on a web site and a new window will open much smaller than the standard window. I can enlarge the window by click the two arrows in the upper right hand corner but the menu bar disappears and reappears if you hover over it. I tried what some said above and when the window was small dragged it to the same size as the window under it, menu bars all visible. I closed that window and reopened it and it opened small again. I can go for several weeks and all additional windows open the correct size and with menus visible, then it goes into this mode. Everything running Lion 10.7.2 and Sarafi 5.1.1
I straightened it out one time or got it to stop doing that but don't remember how I did it. My husband fixed it the second time and he isn't around today. Anyone able to help?

My 5 year old iMac's hard drive is at the point of failing. I'm trying to save al files on it, but it wont allow backup via Time Machine to an external hard drive. How can I keep from losing all the files and programs if the hard drive fails?

I'm concerned that my iMac, purchased 5 years ago, is about the crash and I can't back up my files and programs to an external hard drive via Time Machine because the computer freezes after only a couple hundred MB and gets nowhere near the required amount.
How can I save these files and programs if the computer hard drive fails or has to be replaced without the backup being able to be done? I need to do something quickly, but I'm not sure what I can or should be doing.

Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive. Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box. DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key. That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives. Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

How can I stop Firefox 22 restoring my tabs from previous session instead of my home page?

I updated to Firefox 22 today and since then Firefox opens in the tabs from the previous session instead of my home page. This occurs no matter how I close Firefox. I am aware that this has happened in previous versions of Firefox(e.g. Firefox 20) and that a solution would be found in a future version. The solution has obviously not been found.
I have applied the suggested workaround, changing the preference for browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to false, with absolutely no effect. This workaround did work in versions 20 and 21.
Can anyone help?

nope just delete the file the actual prefs are in prefs.js, user.js is used for something else
Therefore: delete user.js

How can I stop from getting the "Firefox is already running" error message when trying to open links and FF has already been opened through a symbolic link?

I use symbolic links and program shortcuts as a way to easily open different Firefox profiles ie. one for casual/personal use and another for work. This works well, but I get the "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error message if I try to open external links with FF as my default browser. FF is actually open and running fine, but I guess it doesn't acknowledge this fact because of how I'm originally starting the process.
I wasn't able to add the symbolically linked executables to the default program pane. Is there a way to bypass this error or other way to fix this?
The solution to the question linked below is what I'm using to open the different FF profiles.

hello, this is probably happening when you run the default profile with the -no-remote switch.

Hi,
I've included a link here to the setup of e-Print on android. Check through the steps here to ensure that you covered everything.
If you have e-Print installed on your tablet, the key thing is to ensure that both your tablet and printer are connected to the same wifi network.

How can we print from our Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet to the wireless HP 150 printer?

We can use our phone or other devices but the Samsung says only use a Samsung printer when we try to connect via Bluetooth to the HP printer.
We'd prefer to utilize the bluetooth so do we need an app or cable,if there actually is a cable which can be used to connect to the tablet?

@jb0503
You can get the HP Print Service Plug-In at the Google Play Store...

Can you please let me know if this resolves it for you?
Many thanks, Ciara

HT1338 how can I stop safari switch into new tab?

Whenever I open a link in new tab, my laptop switches into the new tab, which makes me so angry. I tried so many times, but I didn't find where to make my laptop stay at the old tab even when I open a new link. I need your help.
Thank you

I'm not sure if this will suffice, but if you hold the Command key while clicking on a link, it will open in a new tab behind the current tab.
You may want to just open a new tab behind the current tab, without clicking a specific link. I have it set to open new tabs showing Top Sites. If I hold the Command key and click the Top Sites "button" on the toolbar, I get a new tab showing Top Sites behind the current tab. For me, this is equivalent to giving the new tab command, except for the tab appearing in front of the current tab (with the new tab command).

When I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it

when I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it

Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder named "ByHost" should open. Look inside it for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them all to the Trash.
Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved, empty the Trash and recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.
