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.

How can I stop my computer crashing after stating a major error message when I connect the iphone?
Hi
I hope someone can help me as am at a loss on what is wrong. Trying to connect my iphone to computer to sync but all it does when I connect it is crash the system completely. Black screen with writing which doesn't stay on long enough for me to read what to do! Its a 3G iphone and had no problems on my old computer. This computer has Windows XP as did my old one so can't figure out why it wont have anything to do with this phone.
Has anyone got any ideas please? Am at my wits end and now wishing had my old computer back!
ThanksWhen you connect a new computer to your network the DHCP service of your router will assign it an IP address, which may or may not be the same as the IP address assigned to your old computer. This, however, only effects networking and wouldn't have anything to do with a USB connection. You do need to be running Windows XP SP2 or later (XP SP3 for iTunes 10.6) and your USB ports must be USB 2.0 to support the iPhone 3G so you may want to be sure your computer meets these minimum system requirements. You might also want to try:
Using a different USB to dock connector cable
Connecting to a different USB port on your computer
Gently cleaning the dock connector on the bottom of the phone with a dry toothbrush
Ensuring that your case isn't interferring with the cable connection to the dock connector on the bottom of your phone -

When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?
Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

"The Directory Service is Busy." Error Message When Trying to Rename PCs on AD 2012 R2 Domain
As the title says, I'm trying to rename some existing PCs on a Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory domain, but I keep getting the error: The
Directory Service is Busy.
The command I am using is:
netdom renamecomputer <OLD_NAME> /newname:<NEW_NAME> /ud:DOMAIN\user /pd:* /force /reboot:300
This command works on some machines but not others. Using Powershell elicits the same response. Any troubleshooting suggestions?
(this is cross post from Powershell here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b82cc024-4c33-47a7-bfb7-85a0a03ff357/the-directory-service-is-busy-error-message-when-trying-to-rename-pcs-on-ad-2012-r2-domain?forum=winserverpowershell)Hi,
Considering that your issue isn't really PowerShell specific I'd probably try asking this question over in the Directory Services forum:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/home?forum=winserverDS&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
Perhaps someone here will have some answers for you as well, but I imagine the DS forum will be your quickest route to an answer.

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.

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?
This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
"How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful. -
My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade to get the latest game apps and such?
My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade to get the latest game apps and such?
You probably can't. Many games and other apps now require iOS 4.3 or later, and iOS 4.2.1 is the last version that will run on a 2nd-gen iPod touch. If you want to run newer games, you'll need a newer iPod. If you want to look for games that will run on your iPod, here's a tip from another user that may help you:
"I was running into the same problem trying to find apps for my daughters Iphone 3g running 4.2.1. What I did was go to the Itunes store through Itunes on my PC, and then went to the bottom of the main page and clicked "Browse." On the browse page I selected, App Store, Games (category), Kids (subcategory), and then a list of apps appears below.
I sorted by date (oldest to newest) by right-clicking next to "price" and choosing "release date" on the menu that pops up. The date created field will then be showing, which you can click on to sort newest to oldest or oldest to newest. I downloaded a bunch of free apps starting from the oldest (by name - you don't have much else to go on). Of the 30 or so I added to my Itunes, about 27 of them were compatible with 4.2.1.
This is defintely not a perfect way of finding apps, but after spending a lot of time searching for a better way this was the best I could come up with."

How can i do to get the picture on the projector?
When i connect my macbook with an vga adapter to my projector it does not work. The projector is saying: no signal. How can i do to get the picture on the projektor?
ThanksHi axel559,
Try connecting the MBP to the projector with the projector on, then boot the MBP, if it does not detect the projector, go to system perferences>displays>click detect displays. You might then have to adjust the resolution to have a correct image, usually 1024X768.
Hope this helps. -
Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive. "Could not complete backup to media share. The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features." What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?
This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).
