How can I stop my pointer [arrow, finger, etc.] from blinking/disappearing [= shows only when I move it, disappears when still]?

This happens ONLY in Firefox [= it behaves normally in all other programs]. It does so irrespective of pointer options [e.g., enable shadow, enable trail, unhide when typing]. It may have started since the latest upgrade. Typing in this box, for instance, the pointer disappears when I am doing nothing, but appears momentarily when I type *each* letter (i.e., blinks). When I am doing something else & my pointer is elsewhere (e.g., moving the vertical bar, going to a Tab or new part of the screen), the pointer appears only when I move it, & disappears the rest of the time. This is VERY annoying -- and also means I do not know where by pointer is on the screen until I move it.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

I use dreamweaver CS3 for the mac

both are a waste of time. Fornication with a leaky condom.
Pointless and not
worth the effort. Or worse!
the obfuscation JavaScript will get the site to not be
listed in any search
engines because they can't "see" the page or any links on it.
You would be
"protecting" the images but no one would find them.
And all of those obfuscation JS things can be reverse
engineered. In most
cases- it's not worth it to prove it can be broken other than
to prove it
can be done. The images are nothing special in almost any
site using one of
those $29.95 applications.
Have you done the basics? Turned off directory browsing or
put a default
index page in every folder? A few years ago i ran across a
site with one of
those block right click scripts on it. Dumb curiosity- opened
a picture, and
looked around the directory. All open directories. A block
right click
script and every folder on the site was open.

Nuff said. The blocking script made me curious enough to poke
around the
directories.

How can I receive all my apps, pics, etc. from iCloud to put on my new iPad?

I was unable to get anything from iCloud when initially setting up my iPad. How can I get all my apps and etc, from iCloud now that I already have my iPad set-up.. I know I have to get it thru iTunes but how do I go about it from iTunes. Please help kinda of confused here. Also do I need to do it from a computer or can I set it up right from my iPad?

If you want to restore from your iCloud backup you actually have to erase the device and start all over again - but I think you are aware of that.
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings. That totally wipes the iPad and forces you to start all over again and then you can restore from the iCloud backup when prompted to do so.
Unfortunately you cannot restore this way unless you are connected to WiFi. Cellular will not work, because celluar does not work until the iPad is activated and so you are in a vicious cycle with no way out until you have WiFi.
Can you go to a library or anywhere that has free WiFi - or a friends house - and activate the iPad there? You just have to go somewhere to get an Internet connection via WiFi now.

How can I stop my old apple macbook pro computer from syncing with my new apple computer and iphone?

Are you saying you plugged your iPhone into your NEW computer & received a message that ALL iTunes content, currently on your phone, will be erased if you sync with this computer?

How can I stop receiving the support discussions etc.?

Hello Gwendolyn,
Frank's reply will sure solve your immediate problem but to answer your basic question ... you cannot remove yourself from the community (short of the hosts taking extreme action). Indeed, you should stay with us. Your current problem arose because you didn't have the benefit of Frank's advice. Now you have, you can control your reply count.

How can I stop the Mozilla Firefox Start Page from taking over my computer. I have reset the home page a half dozen times.

For the past month, every time I open Firefox, the Mozilla Start Page (with Google in the middle) takes over my home page setting (NY Times). How can I stop this from happening?

To the extent that I could, I tried the above, despite the lack of clarity at times. For example, how do the uninitiated find "sessionstore.js" and "sessionstore.bak" and the Firefox profile folder? Assuming that I eventually find them, what in the world does "check for problems" mean?
There are many of us out here with limited to moderate computer sophistication, and more detailed suggestions would be much appreciated. I am in the moderate to high category, but much of your response was marginally useful, to be kind. Not to say that I don't appreciate what you have written.

How can I stop these weird inert file images from appearing on my desktop?

Inert file images keep appearing and cluttering up my desktop with names such as: 3FV2JEQy.JPG.part; 9wA_fwAk.JPG.part; MpxSEQgY.jpg.part etc.
It seems to me that they are related to viewing photos from emails with "Preview". (They could be photos from iPhoto also. I cannot be certain).
My desktop fills up with these weird inert file images and I have to go thru and delete them to clear the mess on my desktop. How can I stop this from occurring??
Many thanks.

How can I stop sync and remove a computer from my iphone?

How can I Cancel iphone wifi sync with my computer? and how do I remove my computer (W-VAIO) from my list? I did the settings from iTunes & it still doesn't work, I even hit the 'apply' button..... what do I do? I recently plugged a friend's phone on my laptop and it automatically sync'd everything to her, how do I turn off this feature so I can avoid this?

I recently upgraded my wife's computer to mountain lion so we could sync it with her iPhone, allowing her to send emails to the groups she manages whether she's at home or on the road.
Is it really the case that the iPhone is incapable of this? The mac does it fine and the iPhone goes through the motions but then bails when you hit send, saying it isn't a valid address.
This really makes no sense. Isn't this the whole point of iCloud?

How can a user transfer purchased apps, books, etc. from an iPad 2 to an iPad 3?

How can I transfer purchased items from an iPad 2 to an iPad 3?

Do you sync with iTunes at all? If you do - all of your purchased content should be in your iTunes library on your computer. When you get the new iPad and sync for the first time, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from the backup of the old iPad or set up as new. Restore from the newest backup and then sync with iTunes and the new iPad will have all of the content that the old one has on it.
You may want to sync the old iPad just before you sync the new one to make sure that the old iPad backs up. You can even do a manual backup by right clicking on the IPad name on the left side of iTunes and select - Backup.

How can I stop all of my old emails from downloading to my new iphone?

When I upgraded to iphone 4S a few years ago, hundreds and hundreds of old emails suddenly downloaded to my iphone, and I couldn't stop it. I can't remember how I resolved the problem then -- but it is happening again with my new iphone 6. My badge is showing 1,000 new emails. How to I correct this?

So the .ini file might read:

Is that correct for location of:
