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 the update to Internet explorer 9 pop up window that appears every time I open my Firefox, I don't want Explorer 9. Help!

It is an annoying popup window that should not be allowed to persist I say no every time. I found a fix for it in the UK but none for Canada.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, probably an addon is interfering here...

This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

How can I stop the...(icons?)..and .firefox ball from bouncing all around the Start Page?? It's VERY ANNOYING. frustrated dino

How can I stop the little pictures (icons??) and the firefox ball from bouncing all around the middle of the start page, which is my home page (?) It's VERY ANNOYING and DISTRACTING!

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.

How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?

How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
Thanks

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How can I stop the "Cannot Open iTunes" dialog

How can I stop the "Cannot Open iTunes" dialog when more than one user is logged into the computer without switch to the user using and closing iTunes. Why doesn't the dialog AT LEAST have the option to 'Do not attempt to open iTunes for this User any more' instead of the lazy programmer OK button only. OR Even the Do not ask this again option.

Just adding to the last answer:
Sony Reader; free download from Sony intended to run with Sony eReaders but works quite happily without.

I prefer ADE1.7.2 to Sony Reader, and Calibre to either (for DRM-free books),
but Sony Reader certainly worth a try to see how you get on with it.

Oh yes and now that we are talking: when I plug in my ipod, I want iTunes to start, not iPhoto.
Who knows these tricks?

iPhoto seems to be viewing the iPod as a camera. Therefore go to iPhoto's General preference pane and select No application in the Connecting camera opens: menu.

How can I stop the zoom in on some clips of old photos? I am using iMovie HD 6.0.3 I don't want to take it off of every picture.

Select the photo in your timeline you wish to change, then with Meda/Photo tab open, click the Show Photo Settings button.
In the new window that opens, uncheck Ken Burns Effect.

PSE remains active in background after exit. How can I stop the program completely?

PSE remains active in background after exit. How can I stop the program completely?
Is there any command line option to force PSE to stop completely after exiting the GUI?
Opening the Windows Task Manager and killing the PSE process is not a solution!
(Context: I want to start PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe from another program with an image filename as command line argument. This other program waits in background until PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe has finished and pops up again after that. Since PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe continues to run silently in background, the other program will never come back.)

Hi - having the same problem with PSE process not ending on exit. Have you had any luck in resolving the issue?
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA

How can I stop the install process?

How can I stop the install process? It tells me my disk is damaged and to restart and repair, but when I restart it tries to install again....it's a never ending cycle. I'd rather keep the system I have than continue this mess.

Hello Serau1s,
It sounds like you are installing Mavericks, and are being prompted to restart and repair your hard drive, but when the computer restarts it goes back to the installation process. The following article should help you get that disk repaired by getting you to the recovery partition, named:
Disk Utility 12.x: Repair a disk
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5836
Print this help page so you can refer to it later. (You don’t have access to Disk Utility Help when you restart up your computer in the next step.)In the Disk Utility Help window, choose Print from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done. Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. Check each file in the list of affected files. If you can replace a file or recreate it, delete it. If it contains information you need, open it and examine its data to make sure it hasn’t been corrupted. (Most of the files in the list have aliases in a DamagedFiles folder at the top level of your disk.)
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How can I stop the auto-saving of Pages version 4.1?

How can I stop the auto-saving of Pages version 4.1?

Why not just open your eyes !
Under 10.6.8, we had two menu items :
Save and Save As…
Now we have a single Save…
Since the first delivery of the macintosh,
a menu item whose name ends with ellipsis is one which always open a dialog.
Under 10.6.8 and older the Save button was used to save and already saved document without opening a dialog.
If the document was never saved, it behaved as the Save As… one.
With Lion the Save feature : save an already saved once document is no longer required as the system autosaved everything.
There was no reason to keep this aspect of the Save item.
Remaining tasks are those which were dedicated to the Save As… button.
The engineers choose to drop one op the now duplicating items.
The synthesis is the Save… item which clearly state what it is supposed to achieve.
Triggering it, we may :
change the name used to save
change the destination folder
export as .doc
export as Pages '08
Of course there is always the black triangle allowing us to use the stripped dialog or the full one.
